Chapter 138

"Rei, Nanako and Mimiko are back from school. Do you want to see them?" Gojo Satoru sat beside Amamiya Rei's bed, peeling apples with a knife. I don't know where he learned this trick, but he was in high spirits as he cut the apples into the shape of rabbits, placed them neatly on a plate, and handed them to Amamiya Rei. "Come, eat an apple."

Yu Gong Leisheng looked at Ping Guo helplessly and said, "Wu Jun, you don't have to..."

"Don't say anything, refute everything." Gojo Satoru simply took a fork and stuffed the apple into Amamiya Reishi's mouth, blocking his mouth. "I don't want to hear you say things like 'No, I'm going to die anyway'. Nanako and the others miss you so much, they have to see you even if you don't want to."

Gojo Satoru said, "Besides, Nanako and Mimiko have the techniques, and they will become sorcerers sooner or later. Facing death is something they must experience. Don't think of them as so fragile. Even Hisahito is strong enough."

Amamiya Ruisei chewed the apple slowly without saying a word.

Not long after Yuji Itadori came to see him, Grandpa Itadori also came. The old man's attitude was very peaceful. He didn't say anything to persuade him. Instead, he said, "Everyone will die eventually. The only difference is whether it's early or late."

Compared to seven years ago, Itadori Yasuke's health seems to be much worse. Although he still looks very strong, Amamiya Keisei, who has always been in poor health, can feel that he is aging a little bit, and perhaps in a few years, he will be lying in bed like him.

The old man chuckled and said, "The most important thing is, before you die, whether you will feel that your life was a mistake."

He looked at Itadori Yasuke's back with a calm gaze.

"...I didn't mean to say those words. Since they want to see me, then let them see me." Amamiya Reizo said vaguely, "But I haven't been with them for long, right? Hasn't Takeru always been with me?"

"After all, it was you and Jie who rescued them. Of course they will be grateful to you."

Gojo Satoru said, "When Nagoko is not available to look after you, they are here to take care of you."

He actually wanted a little girl to take care of him? Amamiya Reisei was shocked: "Don't they have to go to school?"

"I was just kidding you." Gojo Satoru stuck out his tongue. "I've hired a caregiver. You usually stay in the annex of my house. If you need a checkup, you'll be moved to the high school. The two sisters will come to see you every week after school."

Amemiya Ruisei gave Gojo Satoru a cold look.

"Are you still hungry? Do you want to eat?" Gojo Satoru picked up another orange and shook it in front of the young man.

"No, I just finished a meal and can't eat that much fruit."

Amamiya said suspiciously, "Are you free? You have already peeled three fruits for me here. You are a top-class sorcerer after all. What is your mission?"

"I'm not so busy every day. High-level cursed spirits are not cabbages. If I were busy every day, how would I have time to teach students?" Gojo Satoru peeled the orange and threw two halves into his mouth. "The students like me very much."

Amamiya Leisheng narrowed his eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.

"I originally wanted to let you meet the students I taught this year, but unfortunately they are all on missions outside and won't be back in the short term."

"Principal Yega is also very busy." Gojo Satoru came over and whispered mysteriously, "Oh, by the way, I want to tell you that Principal Yega is married." But he got divorced after just a few years.

Of course, he would not tell Amamiya Ruisei about the divorce. After hearing what Gojo Satoru said, the young man blinked in surprise: "Congratulations, Principal Yega will definitely be happy."

Amamiya was upset: "It's a pity that I couldn't prepare a wedding gift."

"It's just a small problem. I've already prepared all the gifts for his wedding." Gojo Satoru waved his hands, indicating that the reliable Gojo Satoru is just so awesome.

Amamiya Leisheng laughed and asked curiously, "Does Principal Yega have a child?"

Gojo Satoru: "Hmm...does a panda count?"

Amamiya Reizo: “…”

He sighed.

"Go-kun," Amamiya Reisei half-closed his eyes, "I'll be leaving after I meet Nanako and Mimiko."

"You don't need to ask me if I want to meet someone. Anyone who sees someone who was still able to talk to them one second and lost all hope in life the next will feel sad."

The young man stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Gojo Satoru's hair, but the other party seemed to be angry and acted without restraint, so that Amamiya Reishi's hand successfully stopped in mid-air.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took back his hand: "Wu Jun, you are a sorcerer, didn't you say that all sorcerers will experience death? Why are you like this now?"

“It’s different.”

Gojo Satoru said dully, "Rei Sheng, this is different."

"Everyone around me, whether it's Riko Kuroi, Jie, Xiaozi, or the two junior students, Principal Yega... they are all fine. I don't know what will happen in the future, but at least now, they are all fine."

"Everyone says that I am the strongest sorcerer. I have the ability and I should take more responsibility."

"I have always done this. I have saved many people and done many things. They are afraid of my power and also in awe of my strength. I am the strongest, so I am invincible and everyone can rely on me."

"But Leisheng," Gojo Satoru said in a bewildered tone, "I saved so many people, but I couldn't save you."

"I will even...watch you die."

"How can I accept such a result?"

Gojo Satoru held Amamiya Raisei's hand, and there was a hint of expectation in his voice: "Glass thinks that the seal that Nose set for you at that time is useful. We are already changing the seal and it will be done soon. Even if it is of some use and can suppress the curse power for a moment and make you feel better, giving us a little more time, there is still hope, right?"

It's useless. It's useless.

Even if the vest is fine, his real body can no longer hold on. At this point, any means are futile.

Yu Gong Lei Sheng gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Wu, it's useless."

His eyes were filled with tears. "It's no use. You can't save me. You are Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer, but you can't change the fate of life and death, or the fate of others. You are a human, not a god. There are things you can't do and people you can't save."

"From the moment I became a sorcerer, I was already on the road to death, but I reached the end earlier than all of you."

"Satoru, just like you said, Getsuyu-kun and Nozomi-san are still here, and you will have more new companions who will appear around you continuously. Even without me, you can still go on."

"Gojo Satoru." Amemiya Rei held Gojo Satoru's hand tightly and stared at him. Although he was smiling, tears were falling from his eyes.

"My life is too tiring and too painful. I don't want to go on any longer. Please let me... be free."

This sound was like a heavy blow from a bell, hitting Gojo Satoru's brain, making a piercing buzzing sound.

This was the first time that the strongest Gojo Satoru couldn't save someone.

The author has something to say:

I’ll be back to Wenye in the next chapter!
