love fight

"So it's here?"

Gojo Satoru stretched out his hand to help the sunglasses that had slipped a bit, and looked at the mansion in front of him.Although they are all in Tokyo, it still took a lot of time to get here from the High School of Conjuration, even if there is a special car to pick them up.Moreover, this rare western-style building retains its full charm, and it is also full of Taisho features that make him feel unclear.

There is a kind of hypocrisy with a strange mix of modern and retro.

The bodyguard who picked him up by car activated the intercom, and the door opened after a while.The car drove into the garage, and a maid came and opened the door.

"Mr. Gojo, please go this way."

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows when he heard this address, and then followed the maid to the main entrance of the mansion.As soon as he came in, he knew that there were about 3 people in the mansion, except for the bodyguard who drove him over, there was only this maid.

——Then the one left is the one he needs to protect in this mission.

Time goes back a day.

"Huh? The task of protecting the important person?" Gojo Satoru showed a bored expression, "Isn't it better to leave this kind of task to the first grade? Why do you have to do it?"

Ye Mozheng corrected: "It's not about protecting the big man, but the big man's daughter. Nitrate, Xia You, and the first graders all have tasks, but you are the only one who is free now. Besides..." He hesitated for a moment, then continued, " I feel more at ease entrusting this task to you."

Hearing what he said, Gojo Satoru raised his face: "Is the big man so hated? Even family members will be cursed and attacked."

"In short, this task is not very complicated, you just need to finish it well." Noctua moth waved his hand righteously, "It is also good for the high school to have a good relationship with the big shots, and personally, I am still satisfied with this task." Employers have a good impression."

And now...

Gojo Satoru looked around. Behind the main entrance of the mansion was a reception hall with a total height of two floors.There are four rooms behind the column, the doors are all closed, I don't know what they are used for.Behind the door on the steps facing the main entrance should be the banquet hall, so the second floor is the living area.

While he was observing the internal structure of the mansion, the maid opened the door on the left on the first floor, turned sideways and respectfully said: "Mr. Wujo, please wait a moment in the living room. My eldest lady should still be in the study."

"Hey - this living room is pretty nice."

Gojo Satoru found that compared to the very retro decorations outside, this living room was much more modern, and there was even a 65-inch curved LCD TV.Now the sun is just right outside, shining in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, and the flowers blooming in the garden can be seen through the clear glass.

When Gojo Satoru was admiring those rare and precious flowers and plants, there was a knock on the living room door.

"Miss, Mr. Wujo is inside." The maid opened the door, "Mr. Wujo, this is my eldest lady."

Gojo Satoru turned his head away, and when he saw his mission to protect the target this time, his first thought was: It's early summer, isn't it hot for her to be dressed like this?The second impression is: I feel that she will be a very boring person.

The girl standing in the sunlight at the door of the living room is wearing a furisode kimono, and the vermilion higan flowers are blooming one after another on the black and purple gradated silk.She was indeed beautiful, perhaps the prettiest girl Gojo Satoru had ever seen.A girl with such dreamlike beauty lived in this Taisho-style mansion, which reminded him of some heroines of word games that he had never played but heard of.

——If this is filmed, maybe it will be better than those game CGs, right?

While thinking this way, Gojo Satoru habitually took out his phone, but just before he was about to take a photo, he realized something was wrong, so he put it back naturally.

"Hello, you are Mr. Gojo Satoru." The girl looked at him quietly, then bowed slightly. "I am Saito Hidechiyo. Please give me your advice in the next period of time."

The conversation is elegant and quiet, the manner is relaxed, polite but full of distance.Although he lives in Tokyo, he still feels like those old-fashioned people in Gojo House in Kyoto.

——Look, it's really boring.

Two people just like this, you look at me, and I look at you.For a while, even Gojo Satoru couldn't think of something to talk to her about, so after the maid pushed the tea cart and poured tea for the two of them, he decided to start talking about work.

"That's right, I'm the conjurer responsible for protecting you these days." Gojo Satoru threw a lot of sugar cubes into the cup, "Because it's work, I need you to cooperate with me. You know the specific situation here Do you want me to repeat it?"

Hidechiyo nodded: "My father has already told me the matter, so everything here should be done according to Mr. Gojo's wishes. I will do what I need to cooperate with you. Please feel like you are at home and don't feel restrained .”

No, I already feel constrained when you say that.

Gojo Satoru thought to himself, and cast his eyes on her neck.

She was not wrapped under the kimono, only a swan-like white and slender neck, and above that, there was a circle of faded blue bruises.

It looked like it was left after being strangled hard, Gojo Satoru thought to himself.My mind began to recall the information about the owner of the mansion that I had read before.

Saito Hidechiyo, age, is the eldest daughter of politician Saito Dozo.Born by her former wife who has passed away, she also has a younger brother Saito Yoshiryu who is a mother.The mansion he lives in now is inherited from his old Chinese mother, Shen Fangye, who usually lives in seclusion and rarely shows up to the outside world.

The curse had struck her since three months ago.At first it was just some very weak curses, but starting this month, for some reason, these curses suddenly became stronger.

"Can you see the curse?" Gojo Satoru asked when Hidechiyo looked up. "The things that hit you."

"I can see it." Hidechiyo nodded, "The appearance doesn't seem to be different from the one in the book, and he can even talk, which feels a little uncomfortable."

Gojo Satoru was a little surprised: "On the book?"

What book still depicts the appearance of the curse?How had he never heard of such a thing.

So Hidechiyo stood up and led Gojo Satoru into the study on the second floor.She took out a book from the pile of books she was reading and handed it to him. He took it over and took a look, only to find that it was a thick collection of paintings.

"Painted Hundred Ghosts at Night"?" Gojo Satoru flipped through it. It was the work of Japanese painter Toriyama Shien. "You mean the curse you saw was similar to the ones depicted in these Ukiyo-e paintings?"

Hidechiyo nodded, when talking about these abnormal beings who had hurt her with malicious intent, she still looked like she was talking about other people's affairs.Gojo Satoru put down the album in his hand, leaned casually on the desk, looked at her, and asked a straightforward question.

"Aren't you afraid at all?" He looked at the bruise on her neck again, "That was pinched out, if you force it a little harder, it will break your neck. Most people who are attacked by the curse are fine It’s a good fate, it’s lucky to find the whole body, and it’s lucky to be able to leave the wreckage behind. As a person who can only see the curse but has no way to deal with it, are you really not afraid at all?”

Hidechiyo looked up at Gojo Satoru, showing the first expression since the short meeting.

She smiled slightly, that beautiful but lifeless face, at that moment, was as vivid as the flowers drawn on the drawing paper suddenly came to life.

"I'm very scared, and I'm also very afraid of death." She said softly, "But that was before, isn't Mr. Wujo protecting me now? So I have nothing to be afraid of."

After returning to the prepared guest room, Gojo Satoru received an email from Xia You on his mobile phone, and he replied while laying himself down on the bed.Xia You asked him if the new task was boring, and they would have dinner together after they came back.

"Okay. The new mission is really boring—" Gojo Satoru thought for a while, and added in his reply, "But it seems to be a little more interesting now."

In the master bedroom, Hidechiyo was also answering the phone.

"Well, the person has arrived...not bad, but is it okay to be so young?"

"No problem, the person I sent to protect you is definitely the most powerful." The person on the other side of the phone said, "Are you satisfied after meeting? The person Dad chose for you will definitely make you like it too."

Fiddled with the phone line with slender fingers, Hidechiyo recalled the situation when he saw Gojo Satoru just now, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"I'm very satisfied. Dad's vision has always been good. But, I don't think he seems to know... Didn't you tell him about it?"

"This kind of thing always needs to be pleasing to each other. Am I the kind of father who would marry his daughter to a strange man for the sake of profit?"

Hidechiyo really wanted to answer "That's not it", but felt that this was not enough to respect his father, so he kept a polite silence.

The other side of the phone said: "Don't think about your brother's matter for the time being, he should figure it out. Although it is true that a son wants to replace his father, it is not appropriate to target you. Are you His sister, everything about me will only be inherited by him in the end, sorry for causing trouble to you."

"I'm tired, Dad." Hidechiyo didn't want to continue the topic, "I want to rest."

So the topic ends like this.

She hung up the phone, her beautiful eyes turned to the documents scattered on the table.At the top of the file is Gojo Satoru's photo.She stretched out her hand, and the moment her fingertips touched Gojo Satoru's face in the photo, she showed snake-like eyes.

Gojo Satoru, who was playing games with his mobile phone in the room, shuddered and frowned.And the greedy snake on the phone happened to eat the last bait and ran straight towards the border.

Gojo Satoru looked around and found nothing, his expression became very puzzled.

"Is it my illusion?"
