The head pillar also wants to be removed today

"Tanjiro, don't you want to rest for a while?"

Hearing the sound, Tanjiro turned his head, and the strongest magician with white hair was leaning against the bed with his head in his hands.

He shook his head, "That's enough."

In fact, after dancing the God of Fire Kagura, perhaps because of the power of the ghost, or perhaps because of the breath of the sun, he was actually not as tired as others expected.

However, no matter how hard he tried to explain, Yoshino Junpei still persuaded him to rest.

Gojo Satoru was more direct, put the person on the bed and covered the quilt, stared at the person without saying a word, as if he wanted to watch the person fall asleep.

...In the end, he still fell asleep.

"Is it really unnecessary?"

"Yeah." Tanjiro nodded, maybe after a short rest, not only did he not feel tired at all, but he felt refreshed.

Tanjiro seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and looked around, as if he was looking for something.

"About the blue flower of the other side—"

As if seeing what Tanjiro was looking for, Gojo Satoru picked up the water glass by the table and handed it to Tanjiro while explaining.

"They seem to need to investigate other things within a few days, so they took it away for the time being."

"Is that so..." Tanjiro stroked the cup unconsciously.

"After all, the heart of Kagutsuchi will disappear again at some point, so it is natural to seize the time to investigate."

The white-haired conjurer shrugged, "But Tanjirou is really powerful."

"It's actually able to summon the heart of Kagutsuchi."

"As expected of Tanjirou."

Caught off guard by an adult's praise, Tanjiro's ears turned red all of a sudden.

He hurriedly waved his hands, and a shy expression appeared on his face: "I just hit the right one."

"It's really nice to be able to make a difference."

As for the phantom that appeared later, it was completely unexpected.

Ah, right.

Tanjiro realized it later.

Did he lose control and cry after that...?

In an instant, the ghost boy's face felt as if it was about to burn.

His eyes couldn't help wandering, looking left and right, falling on the white sheet for a while, and fixing it on the curtain again for a while, his ears were so red that they were about to bleed.

God—

This is too embarrassing!

"Ha ha ha ha."

Although he didn't know what happened to Tanjirou, the super conjurer who was inexplicably funny seeing him now laughed out loud.

"But Tanjirou's dance is really beautiful."

Gojo Satoru dragged his face, and praised sincerely: "It's like Lord Vulcan."

"It's quite shocking!"

Before Tanjirou could say anything more, the strongest conjurer lightly diverted the topic away.

"But here, our mission is almost over."

Tanjiro was indeed attracted by him: "Eh? So fast!"

He obviously felt as if he didn't do anything, and the task was completed?

Not even a single curse spirit was expelled.

"Hmm." Gojo Gosha nodded seriously.

"After all, our mission is to investigate the cause of Kagutsuchi's heart decline."

It was originally a task with no beginning and no end, and it was an unclear task. It was already an unexpected joy to make the heart of Kagutsuchi appear, and the investigation to this point was enough.

Although it is not impossible to go deeper.

but--

Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes slightly, and his dark glasses blocked the sharp look in those blue eyes.

He always has a very bad feeling, as if something big is going to happen recently.

It's better to go back quickly.

"But..." Tanjirou looked hesitant, and his dark red ghost eyes looked at Gojo Satoru with concern.

He was a little unsure whether to ask or not.

"But Gojo-sensei probably has something else he wants to investigate."

Tanjiro scratched his face, but didn't see the shocked look in Yamagojo Satoru's eyes.

"I'm not very sure...but Mr. Wujo doesn't seem to be in a good mood recently?"

"It's as if a sour and bitter medicine is suddenly added to the originally sweet and greasy cake." Tanjiro pointed his nose, and made a metaphor that might not be very appropriate.

"Especially after arriving at the Nonomiya Shrine, Mr. Gojo seemed to be in a bad mood all the time."

He scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Although this may be a bit impolite, can Mr. Wujo talk to me?"

"I heard talking is also a way to regulate emotions."

"Although I may not be able to help..."

"Ah! Sorry!" Surprised that he seemed to have said something serious, Tanjiro quickly covered his mouth.

"It's okay." Gojo Satoru held his head.

"It's better to say that Tanjirou is willing to listen to me, but he has done me a big favor."

The white-haired conjurer took a long breath and let it out slowly.

He closed his eyes slightly, as if sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his head.

"Tanjiro guessed right, I do have other things I want to investigate."

"My good friend, Xia Youjie—ah, Tanjirou probably hasn't heard of him, but he also came to investigate this Kagutsuchi Heart."

"However, during his investigation, he disappeared for unknown reasons."

Gojo Satoru paused slightly.

"Then—until now, I haven't been able to find any traces of him."

Hearing Gojo Satoru's words, Tanjiro couldn't help but choke his breath, his eyes widened slightly.

Wait, why does the name 'Xia Youjie' sound familiar to him...

"Then, why did the teacher's friend choose to investigate the heart of Kagutsuchi?"

Obviously, according to Riko Amane, this task has been put on hold for a long time, and no one cares about it.

"That--" the white-haired conjurer raised his head, his blue eyes stared straight at the ceiling, and the spider's web at the corner could be clearly seen above.

"Maybe—to find the answer."

He closed his eyes, and for a moment it seemed that the events of ten years ago were reappearing in front of his eyes.

"Hello, Jay."

Gojo Satoru pressed the tip of his tongue against the candy in his mouth, causing a small bump on his cheek.

"Why do you suddenly want to go there?"

"Anyway, I finally made arrangements for the family, and I need to go and have a look once in a while. Enlightenment."

Xia Youjie leaned against the railing on the roof, silently watching the dense forest in the distance.

Gaozhuan stands in an inaccessible place, surrounded by forests.

Looking down at a glance, what you see is not a lot of traffic, but lush tree tops.

"Tch, I'm in trouble."

Gojo Satoru didn't bother to listen to such nonsense.

He bit the candy in his mouth with a 'click' and looked at the sky with his six eyes. He didn't know whether the color of the sky reflected into those eyes, or the color of those eyes blurred the sky.

"Speaking of which, what's going on with you recently."

Gojo Satoru didn't even turn his head.When he touched his pocket, his hand was empty, and it turned out that the piece of candy he was carrying with him was gone.

'Tsk. '

He smacked his lips, feeling even more irritable in his heart.

It's all because of that guy, it's become a habit for him now.

"You haven't been in the right shape lately, Jay."

The white-haired high school student turned over and lay on the railing, looking impatient, staring at the lush woods below rather uncomfortably.

"what happened?"

"Compared to caring about me, I think it's better to care about yourself first?"

Without putting his eyes on the ground, Xia Youjie looked up at the cloudless blue sky.

——It was reversed from the postures of the two of them just now.

"Since the child left, you have become more irritable and irritable recently."

Xia Youjie glanced at his friend who was holding his face to the side, still full of displeasure.

"The first-year juniors complained to me many times."

"Ah, even Nitro also said that you have been born lately—"

"If you dare to say it, you will definitely die, Jay."

Xia Youjie shook his head, couldn't help pursing his lips and chuckling.

The conversation just now was like a faint breeze, briefly blowing away the gloomy haze that had been entrenched in his heart.

However, this kind of relaxation only lasted for a few seconds, and the haze and reluctance surrounded him, weighing heavily on his heart.

Xia Youjie sighed, his voice was so soft that it almost faded into the wind.

"I'm just, a little bit confused."

"Huh?" However, such a voice was enough to be caught by Gojo Satoru.

The white-haired high school student sneered mercilessly.

"Hey, isn't it? You said that a magician wants to protect a non-magician, but you?"

Xia Youjie shrugged, unable to deny it.

"But now, I am doubting."

Xia Youjie looked into the distance, the expression on his face was completely restrained, and he looked a little cold even under the sun.

"Is everything I insisted on before really right?"

He has seen with his own eyes the attitudes of humans towards magicians, and the weak towards the strong.

Those dirty negative emotions were like black thorns covered with sharp thorns, climbing up his veins until they strangled his heart.

However, he has also heard that the weak—or call them the strong, are still determined to move forward even in the most difficult and difficult situations, even if they burn themselves and lose their bodies, they still do not flinch.

It is like the rain in the long-dry desert, even if it is only a few drops, it will make the spreading black thorns escape and retreat, and new shoots will gradually grow on the barren and barren land.

Under such tearing, Xia Youjie fell into a rare confusion.

"who knows."

Gojo Satoru shrugged, obviously not interested in the topic.

The white-haired high school student held his head, and what he said almost made Xia Youjie think it was just his illusion.

"However, if you want to do something irreversible."

"I'll stop you."

However, when Xia Youjie turned his head, Gojo Wu looked calm, as if he wasn't the one who spoke just now.

"Thank you then, Wu."

Xia Youjie also shrugged, and stopped talking about this topic further.

He propped up his body and let out a long breath, as if he had made a decision.

"I want to find my own answers."

Xia Youjie said suddenly.

Sorcerers and non-sorcerers, the weak and the strong.

Humans and curses.

He had to find the answer to this question by himself.

"Walk slowly without sending."

Gojo Satoru waved his hand disinterestedly.

Don't forget to tell me when it's over: "Remember to bring me a present - the most advanced one."

"It's beautiful to think about."

--Then.That was the last time Gojo Satoru saw Xia Youjie.
