Chapter 297 I'll Go Meet Her
After arranging matters concerning Yuji Itadori, Geto Suguru came out of the principal's office and slowly walked along the path in the campus towards the sealing room.
From a distance, I saw Gojo Satoru standing under the corridor, his hands on the railing, looking in one direction.
When I got closer, I found that he was wearing a blindfold and was staring at the flowers blooming freely at the base of the wall.
A look of distress and confusion.
What’s so good about flowers…?
Xia Yujie couldn't help but start observing as well.
The leaves are slender and green, the petals are white and elegant, and the pale yellow stamens sway in the wind, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
Ah, it’s this one.
Xia Yujie remembered that this was the thing that Gojo Satoru moved from his own balcony after they had a fight last time and the green plants that the principal had worked so hard to cultivate were killed.
"It didn't die in the middle of winter, so it must have very strong vitality. If it dies again, it will be the principal's own responsibility." The guy said this righteously, completely ignoring the blue veins that had appeared on the teacher's forehead.
As for why there were plants on the balcony that had not been opened for thousands of years, Gojo Satoru said as a matter of course that he couldn't remember either.
The flowers did not bloom in winter, there were only roots, stems and leaves. I didn’t expect that they would grow so well now.
And they never fought here again.
So is Gojo Satoru itching to do something?
"Satoru." Xia Youjie took out the coffee from his pocket and threw it into his arms. "What are you thinking about? You are so distracted."
“Nothing.” Gojo Satoru didn’t even look at it. He unscrewed the cap and drank it absentmindedly. Then he coughed unexpectedly and complained with a frown, “What flavor did you give me? It’s so unpalatable!”
"Is it unpalatable? I wasn't paying attention." He knew it was unpalatable, so he threw it to you while you were in a daze.
Seeing that the prank had been successful, Xia Youjie changed the subject as if nothing had happened and asked, "How was the interrogation? Did they reveal any information?"
"Huh?" Gojo Satoru was stunned.
"It's about the girl in the sealed room." Xia Youjie turned around and asked with a bit of amusement, "Master, you are not so stupid that you don't remember what you did."
"Oh, about that......"
Gojo Satoru touched his cheek subconsciously.
The skin was smooth, and the previous scratches had long been healed by the reversal technique, but... the slight stinging pain from the cut and the feeling of blood clotted on the fingertips had not disappeared.
Rather than the sense of crisis that his bottom line had been broken, what first came to his mind was disbelief, astonishment, and...grievance?
It's like being certain that the person on the other side won't hurt you, yet being attacked without hesitation. It's emotionally unacceptable.
Due to the calm and rational considerations required for combat, even if faced with betrayal or assassination by their own camp, sorcerers rarely have this kind of reaction when attacked, let alone to a stranger.
It's like he just cleaned his neck and moved it over to put it on the opponent's blade... It's really puzzling.
"She can get through your defense?!" Xia Youjie's narrow fox eyes slightly opened, and his voice was raised a lot, "Is this true?"
"So you were just thinking about this."
"That's not the case." Gojo Satoru sighed softly, turned around and rested his elbows on the railing, looking up nonchalantly, "Even if the bottom line doesn't work on her, so what."
"Fushiguro Shinobu still has the Amagaki Hoko in his hand, but he has never succeeded."
Until now, he is still brooding over this matter, and he would pop up and launch sneak attacks every now and then.
"Oh." When talking about this guy, Xia Youjie became unhappy again, and pulled the corners of his mouth with a fake smile, "You are talking about him."
As for how the feud between Geto Suguru and him began, we have to go back to the astral plasma incident ten years ago.
At that time, Fushiguro Shinji suddenly broke into the high school and stabbed a knife into Gojo Satoru's brain. Later, he broke into Hongxing Palace and said he wanted to exchange Tennuriko's body for a bounty.
As a result, when the final blow was about to be struck, the man suddenly retracted his gun, and shouted something like it was meaningless and he would not kill him. Then he walked away quickly, leaving a huge mess for the college to clean up.
The most outrageous thing is that, somehow, he persuaded Principal Ye Moth to run away to the technical college and refused to leave, where he got the title of a martial arts teacher and beat up the students every day.
So he just thinks beating people up is fun.
Although no actual harm was caused that time, and both Tsumiki and Megumi were good kids, Kagome Geto still couldn't stand Fushiguro Jyouji.
"He didn't even go to class a while ago. He went to Kyoto for no apparent reason, and pushed all the substitute teaching tasks to Haibara and Nanami, which made Nanami furious." Xiayou Jie complained, "Just fire him."
Gojo Satoru didn't care about this at all. After all, most of the time, he didn't seem to have any right to blame others for being lazy.
At this moment, he was still immersed in the emotions that emerged in his heart and felt confused.
"If that's not it, then what are you worried about?" Xia Youjie felt that he was so quiet that he didn't seem to be as noisy as usual, and couldn't help but feel puzzled, "You don't think she's difficult to deal with, do you?"
Gojo Satoru glanced at him lightly, and rarely did he refute.
"............No way." Xia Youjie's face was full of mixed emotions, and he said with a hint of surprise and astonishment, "You really can't do it?"
"Tsk." Gojo Satoru seemed a little annoyed. He turned around, grabbed the railing with his hands, and even kicked forward twice, saying, "You don't tell a word of truth, but you know Journey to the West by heart."
"She got into a fight with me after I asked her a few questions, and told me to kill her. What can I do?"
"Children of this age tend to rebel and cause trouble. It's normal for them to say something like this."
"She's not a child." Gojo Satoru retorted, then suddenly asked, "By the way, where did you get your experience from?"
"Ahem..." Xia Youjie clenched his fist and coughed twice, "Last time I passed by Hui's junior high school, I happened to see his glorious deeds."
This refers to the incident where Megumi Fushiguro taught a bad boy a lesson a while ago. After everyone in the technical high school found out, they all chased after him and called him "big brother" in a joking manner.
"Wow, so you were the one who exposed this matter?" Gojo Satoru stroked his chin in thought, "Megumi thought it was Fushiguro Shinobu who did it, and even released two jade dogs to bite him."
"So you're going to tell on me?"
"Who would be so boring?"
The two looked at each other and tacitly chose to trick Heishen.
"So, what are you going to do about that girl?" Xia Youjie continued to ask, "Just leave her alone?"
"......Jie." Gojo Satoru suddenly raised his eyes to look at Geto Suguru and asked tentatively, "Last night, when you saw her, did you have any thoughts about......"
Are there flashes of memories that don’t exist?
"What?" Xia Youjie looked at him in confusion, with complete bewilderment on his face.
"Forget it, it's nothing." Gojo Satoru dropped his hands again, lowered his head and frowned in thought, "It must be an illusion."
Seeing that he was so upset, Xia Youjie simply said, "In that case, how about I go and meet her?"
“…That’s fine.”
"Then she should be ready." He stood up, stretched his joints, twisted his wrists, and said half-jokingly, "I'm not as soft-hearted as Gojo-sensei."
"........" Gojo Satoru was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Whatever you want."
"If you can really do it then."
