[Spell Return] Beast of Despair

46.

—May 2018, Tokyo, Ota Ward Factory—

It's not a good thing that past memories suddenly come back to life at this moment.At least for Shizhi, memories won't help, it will only make her feel bad.

She also doesn't need Gojo Satoru's support.She already knew that it was useless to help blindly, but she knew it too late, and there was no room for redemption when it was too late.

Forget it, let's not think too much about these things.

Yezhi shook his head lightly, trying to get these overly complicated thoughts out of his mind, but he didn't seem to be able to.She still feels confused.

Hesitating on the spot, she stood stiffly for a long time, knowing that it was time to complete the task of removing the spirit, but she still couldn't take this step.

She really needs a little support, she thought.

"What should I do if I can't activate the spell?" She rubbed her fingertips uneasily, unconsciously making small chaotic movements, "How can I get rid of that curse?"

"Isn't there still a magic tool? Just use the magic tool normally, you don't need to rely too much on magic power or spells."

Gojo Satoru knew that with her remaining power, she couldn't use the extremely lethal Yae family's spell like in the past for the time being.He wouldn't let her do something that was completely beyond her capabilities.

"Use a magic tool..."

She murmured, and the fingertips of her prosthetic limb lightly tapped the edge of the knife handle.These two are hard objects, and when they collided together, there was no surprise that they made a crisp sound, but to Shizhi's ears, they seemed extraordinarily heavy, as if they had directly hit the heart.

"Then which hand should hold the knife, have you thought about this situation?" She stared at a crack in the concrete floor, from which the grass had withered, "left hand? Or right hand? The left hand can barely do It is not easy just to hold the knife firmly. The right hand is still not the dominant hand, and there is no way to be as flexible as before."

"In this case, let's choose the right hand. Although the non-dominant hand is clumsy, it is better than the fake hand."

Gojo Satoru's suggestion was sincere, and Yuki knew this very well.But maybe because she touched too many sharp and sensitive parts, she subconsciously wanted to deny him.

But for the time being, she just stayed at the stage of "wanting". After all, she didn't say anything, nodded silently, changed the knife to her right hand, and didn't want to hesitate anymore. She walked forward, but was suddenly caught Gojo Satoru called out.

After a short distance, he could see him smiling and looking at himself, and heard him say:

"Hasn't it been a long time since we've had a good conversation like this?"

Yes, they didn't have a good conversation.The last normal conversation dates back to before the accident happened.And that wasn't a face-to-face conversation, it was just a voice-only phone call built by radio waves.

Before today, their conversations were only incomplete short words, full of real dissatisfaction and ridicule.Sometimes even if he said something, Ye Zhi would not answer, and the words seemed to sink into the sea.For so long, only the conversation at this moment is more like the frank and normal speech they used to have.

She was a little guilty, but she didn't like such emotions, so that she couldn't say a word at the moment, but Gojo Satoru didn't need her to say anything.

"I'll wait for you here."

He said.

"come back earlier."

47.

—December 2013, Tokyo, apartment balcony—

Yezhi was wrapped in a blanket, sitting cross-legged on the curved swing on the balcony, and had a routine phone call with his father once a month.

This swing was set up by her and Gojo Satoru last month.Because the structure was too complicated, it was quite troublesome to set up, so she reluctantly said to Gojo Satoru, "I don't think the swing is very necessary."But it turns out that having a swing is really nice.

Qido curled up, lying on her lap, like a big ball of golden yarn, and fell asleep in her arms. It seemed that he was a little sleepy, but the father on the other end of the phone was still talking. What, so she can't sleep.

In the past, the frequency of calls between them was once a week, but it gradually changed to half a month.Now, this time has been extended to 30 days.I can't remember how the phone calls with my father became less and less, and I also forgot from which specific time point I gradually became unsure of what to say to him.

She could only quietly listen to her father's gossip, and listen to him talking about the recent health condition of his dying grandfather.

Generally speaking, after he finished talking about his grandpa, he would end the call with a sentence like "I won't bother you much then".But for some reason, before saying this sentence today, he was silent for a few seconds.

"Is your love partner the Six Eyes of the Gojo family? You never told me. Well... Dad doesn't mean anything else, it's just that your uncles think... If there is a chance, we can talk about it after we get home. Let's talk about it, okay? Do you remember what Grandpa told you before?"

Her father faltered and spoke incomplete words, but when these words fell into Yeshi's ears, they were enough for her to fill in the gaps that were missing.

Pa—as if someone pressed his shoulder heavily.

Yezhi turned around suddenly, of course there was nothing behind her, it was empty, but she clearly saw the hand of a thin, old man with a wrinkled skeleton like a skeleton resting on her shoulder.

The December evening wind turned into the dull air of that summer afternoon, and she was sweating lightly, causing her clothes to stick to her skin wetly.

The dull and hot summer night wind sent words from the past.

——You want to kill the Six Eyes of the Gojo family.

There was another hand pressing on the old hand.

——You have to make good friends with the Six Eyes of the Gojo family.

All the things that she tried so hard to forget came out at this moment, and she could only sit there in a daze, letting the hoarse voice from the receiver pull her consciousness back, and then hurriedly came back to her senses.

"Uh... sorry, I may not be able to do it recently... I am busy, and he is also very busy, so I can't come back. Uh, I can't come back." The words were almost knotted, and she kept rubbing her fingertips, "I Just ask—I’m just asking casually—how did you know that my boyfriend is Gojo Satoru?”

"It was Segu who said it."

"……it is good."

She hung up the phone, her hands trembling for some reason.The voice around her ears seemed to become louder and sharper, making her dizzy.Before she regained consciousness, she subconsciously dialed the phone.

Call Shi Gu.

The procrastinating voice didn't last long, and she heard the usual brisk tone.

"Hello? What's the matter, sister?"

The shoulders hurt even more.It's a little irritating.

"Didn't I tell you from the beginning, don't tell the elders that my date is Gojo Satoru, why are you still talking about it!"

She originally wanted to speak well, but for some reason, when the words blurted out, they became so sharp, each word was tainted with too vivid emotions, even Qiduo who was lying in her arms was scared out of sleep Waking up with a start, he raised his head and looked around anxiously.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by an apology.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, when Mom asked me about your relationship, I spoke too quickly, and I accidentally said the name of Mr. Wujo! I'm really really really sorry, I didn't mean it, I Confession, I really shouldn't be talking nonsense! That...sister, I'm sorry, don't be angry. "

Shizhi rubbed the center of her brows, she could already imagine the guilty appearance of Chu Shigu bowing to the air with her mobile phone.

I really should have controlled my emotions just now.she thinks.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now.She took a deep breath and tried to slow down her tone: "I'm not angry. I...you don't have to apologize to me, I...just...forget it, say it all, so be it. Don't think too much. "

"Oh, okay...but why can't you tell them? Mr. Wujo is not a man who can't get on the stage, and he is very powerful. To be honest, he is a good marriage partner. Knowing that my daughter's boyfriend is so Excellent, Daddy must be very happy."

Will you be happy?It is impossible to answer the questions raised by the ignorant.

...my shoulder hurts.

For the first time, she felt that she didn't know what to say, so she could only falter and stammer: "This... well... I'll talk to you next time, okay? That's it, bye."

Hanging up the phone hastily, Shizhi felt like a loser fleeing the battlefield.But for her, there was no other suitable option other than running away.

The rest of the options are only worse than escape.But even if she escapes now, in the near future, she will still have to face these terrible situations again, and she will also be forced to face the ideals of the Yae family all along.

Yezhi got up together, just like Cheetos.She suddenly didn't want to look forward to the future -- if the future she had to face was really that bad.

"Staying on the balcony for so long, don't you think it's cold?"

A pair of cold hands silently rested on Shizhi's neck with the words, so cold that she almost jumped up from the swing.

"The sudden noise really scared me to death!" She punched Gojo Goku angrily, "Okay, okay, I'll come in right now."

Wrapping the blanket tightly, Shizhi followed Cheetos, who was wagging his tail happily, and slowly returned to the room, not forgetting to close the balcony door tightly to prevent the cold wind from blowing into the house.

"I kind of want to eat ice cream." When the door was closed, Ye Zhi muttered in a low voice, "Do you want to eat?"

"Do you want me to bring it over for you?"

Yezhi collapsed on the sofa comfortably, and nodded quite sincerely: "Yes, that's right! So please help me get the raspberry milk flavored ice cream, thank you!"

That's a lot to ask for.

Gojo Satoru rubbed her face vigorously and was satisfied, then went to the kitchen to bring her ice cream, and helped her unpack it by the way.

"Thank you."

She repeated her thanks again, slowly poked the spoon into the frozen ice cream, and dug a spoon full, but she didn't have much thought about eating, but she was secretly looking at Gojo Satoru expression.

"Hey, I said..." The words were also slow, "Did you hear what I said on the phone just now?"

Gojo Satoru lowered his head and ate the ice cream in her spoon in one gulp: "Your voice is so loud, how could you not be able to hear it?"

"..."

Yezhi's face flushed instantly, and even his ears were burned hot.She quickly put the ice cream aside, sat upright, and stared at Gojo Satoru very seriously for a long time.

He probably said eight hundred times in his heart before he dared to speak.

"Aren't you angry?"

"There's nothing to be angry about." Gojo Satoru took the ice cream and dug another big spoonful, "But I really want to know why you didn't tell the elders that I'm your boyfriend."

"Uh……"

Suddenly I don't know what to say.Yezhi stroked the tip of his nose uneasily.

After thinking for a long time, she could only ask back: "Did you say that?"

"I said it." He was very calm, "I told them from the first day that my lover is a magician from the Yae family."

"Ah—I thought you wouldn't say that!"

"Why are you so surprised, do you want to get some comfort from me?"

"Hmm... that's it."

If Gojo Satoru didn't tell his family that his lover was a "filthy" Yae family conjurer, then he could still use "Look, you did the same thing as me" as an excuse.But she really didn't expect Gojo Satoru to be so calm in this matter.

Her calmness made her pale by comparison, and she didn't know how to explain it.

I really don't want to tell him that he was just a target in her life for a purpose.I also don't want to bring more complicated matters related to the family between them.

She just wanted to be with him, that's all.So she couldn't tell Wujo Satoru why she couldn't let his name appear in the ears of the elders who were poisoned by ideals.

"I want you to know that I'm dating you because I like you—that's why we spent more than three years together."

She kissed Gojo Satoru lightly.Between soft and cold lips, she seemed to taste a little bit of raspberry milk.

"I like you, I like you so much, I like you so much."

She will not bear anyone's ideals and expectations.

"Gojo Satoru, I love you."
