[Spell Return] Beast of Despair

14.

—January 2018, Tokyo, pedestrian walkway in front of the hospital—

After crossing the road, the silver hospital building appeared in the corner of sight.But to reach the destination, there is still a long way to go.

She has a long way to go to get prosthetics that make her body "whole."Going to the hospital for basic checkups is just the first step.

The hospital is a place I haven't been to for many years.Her health has always been good—the "always" here dates back to before the accident.

Before the accident in which his left arm and right leg were swallowed up by the curse spirit of the Yae family.

Thinking of the white place filled with the smell of disinfectant, he was neither nervous nor afraid.She just felt a little strange.

Originally Gojo Satoru would accompany her to the hospital, but this was not a caring companionship.

"In case you take my money and run away alone, so I have to supervise you."

This is the reason he gave.

He seemed to distrust her a little, so all she could say was:

"Thank you for pointing me to a completely different path, Mr. Wujo, who is rich on the surface and poor on the inside."

Hearing these merciless words, Gojo Satoru was not angry, and even smiled, as if he was very happy for her to say such words.

But anyway, he won't be here today.Ye Zhi didn't want him to come either.

Or face these things alone.That's what she told herself until now.

She crosses the narrow road.The buildings standing beside the road have crimson roofs, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

It turned out to be a shrine.

And it is still a very lively shrine. From a distance, you can see many people standing in front of the main hall of the shrine.

How many of these people are curious tourists, and how many are devout believers?Yes, there is no answer in my heart.

She just felt that everyone standing in the shrine was so stupid that she wanted to laugh out loud.

I really want to tell them——

"There are no gods in this world."

15.

—January 2010, 1, Tokyo, in front of the shrine—

"There are gods in this world."

When Gojo Satoru asked her if she came here to pay homage on New Year's Day because she believed in the gods, she said so swearingly, but Gojo Satoru slapped her forehead inexplicably.

He didn't use much force, the gentle and gentle force seemed to be a gentle touch, but he always felt like he was being laughed at.

She covered her forehead with one hand, snatched the dog leash from Gojo Satoru, and led Qido to her side.

"Don't you believe in the existence of gods?"

It was one who asked solemnly, but his tone sounded a little emboldened.

"Of course I don't believe it." Gojo Satoru pushed his sunglasses, "If there really are gods, they should solve the troublesome spirits and curses. Then I can relax."

"In this way, we will lose our jobs! Besides, since there are 'curses' born of negative emotions in this world, there must also be gods as carriers of good wishes... Forget it, no Discussing this with you. All I want to know now is how much longer we have to go to reach that shrine."

They had already reached the deserted suburbs, but there was no sign of the shrine at all.

The location of the shrine was chosen by Gojo Satoru, and he didn't tell Shizhi the specific address in advance, only that it was a shrine that allowed dogs to enter.

Qiduo, who has become more lively recently, has [-]% trust in Gojo Satoru, and obediently follows him along the way, without the timid look of a month ago.In other words, he passed the test of seeing.

But right now I can't think of it.She also walked beside Wujo Wu, but she always felt that she was about to be kidnapped by him.

"Is it almost there?"

Wujo Satoru himself didn't seem very sure.Standing on tiptoe, he squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.Probably seeing the vermilion eaves of the shrine, he gave it an "ok" gesture.

However, at such an altitude, nothing can be seen.

She peeked at the man next to her who was more than a head taller than her, and somehow felt the horror of being suppressed by height.

Going a little further, I saw the eaves of the shrine.Seeing that her destination was not far away, she stopped in her tracks.

"I'll go there first." She pointed to the optical shop by the roadside, "My glasses are broken."

"Okay. I'll hold Cheetos for you."

"Thank you!"

Yuzhi handed the dog leash to Gojo Satoru with confidence, and trotted to the store while flipping through the bag, finally found the glasses case from the messy bag.

She was extremely thankful that she had put the glasses case in her bag yesterday.

She accidentally broke the temple of this pair of glasses that had not been worn for a long time.Although she often wears glasses, it is really hard for her not to repair them when they are broken.Just happened to meet an optical shop, so let's fix this annoying little thing by the way.

The clerk said it could be fixed in half an hour.After calculating the time, she could just get back the glasses after visiting the shrine.

While waiting for the clerk to give her change, Shi Zhi looked around aimlessly.Through the window glass, she saw Gojo Satoru standing outside the shop.He was playing with Cheetos, and the sunglasses were pushed up on his forehead.The glasses on the window display were between them, and from this angle it looked like he was wearing regular glasses.

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Yezhi's heart.

"Hey, Wujo. Come in, come in."

She smiled and waved to Wutiao Wuzhao. No matter how you look at this smile, there is a sense of hostility.Intuition told Gojo Satoru that she must be planning something weird, but he still walked into the store.

"what happened?"

"Take off your sunglasses first."

"what?"

She was really thinking about weird things.

Gojo Satoru sighed lightly, and took off his sunglasses as if helpless.When he raised his head, he saw her approaching him.She held a pair of black-rimmed glasses in her hand, and quickly put them on his face.

Looking at him who was forced to put on glasses, he couldn't help but smile—and it was an extraordinarily presumptuous smile.

He was so presumptuous that even if he covered his mouth, he couldn't hide the overflowing laughter.

Shi Zhi laughed until her face turned red, so she could only look away quickly, otherwise she would not be able to breathe.Probably seeing this, Gojo Satoru deliberately lowered his body and approached her eyes.

"Is it so funny?" He asked seriously.

"Hmm... super funny!" Shizhi covered his face, took a few deep breaths, and tried to suppress his smile, but his ears were still crimson, "You should wear more sunglasses."

The effect of ordinary glasses on his face is really a bit strange.It's not that it's ugly, but there's just an inexplicable sense of disobedience, which I can't describe, I just feel like laughing.

Hearing what she said, Gojo Satoru stood up straight, let out a lazily "Oh—" with a long tail, took off his glasses, but didn't put them back on the shelf, but lightly put them on Yezhi's face superior.

The lenses of this pair of glasses have no prescription, so it won't make Shizhi feel dizzy.But the sudden heavy pressure on the bridge of the nose and ears really frightened her.She shrinks back and wants to take off her glasses, but Gojo Satoru holds her hand down.

"What are you doing?" She lightly tapped Wujou's shoulder, a little annoyed, "Are you taking revenge on me?"

Gojo Satoru was still smiling, without any embarrassment at all, and said directly, "I just want to see how you look with glasses. Hmm...it's really cute."

"..."

Obviously there is nothing that can make her laugh at this moment, but why does her face burn even hotter?

Yezhi pursed his lips, lowered his head, as if wanting to hide something, and thumped Gojo Wu's shoulder again.This time, I tried my best.

"Don't say such strange things suddenly, you bastard Gojo!"
