After the Fallen Princess is reborn

here is……?

Wujo Wu raised his eyes and looked around.It was the street where he was when he first came to this world half a month ago.

Why is he here?

He remembered that yesterday... when he left the street, he took Mei to the hotel, set up the "tent", told Mei not to run out by herself, and then brought the prostitute Taro back.He kept watch all night and finally took a nap.

When he opened his eyes, he returned to the present place.

The rice shop next to it broke out into a commotion.

"Thief! Catch the thief!"

?

...is a man in gray who will run past two o'clock next.

Gojo Satoru thought silently.

He sticks out his foot.

The next second, the man in gray was tripped to the ground with an "ouch", and the banknotes were scattered from his hands.

The old man came after him from behind.

"Thank you, thank you, thanks to you this time, young man! The current world situation is really not good, the rice store is always... hey, young man, don't go away—?!"

... Even the words are the same.

Gojo Satoru ran in a familiar direction, and finally jumped off the roof and landed on the street by the Rashomon River.

Several children ran past him.

"Baimei! It's Baimei!"

"Let's go and see Baimei!"

as usual.

Surround, surround, pay tribute.

The little girl in the middle of the crowd noticed his gaze and said, "Huh?"

He walked over and said, "Mei."

The silver-haired little girl looked at him fixedly, "Who are you?"

...? ? ? ! ! !

……ha!

Ha ha ha ha--

Gojo Satoru felt as if he had been hit head-on by an iceberg, and at the same time, he calmed down strangely.

That's it, that's it! !

"...?"

Xie Huamei tilted her head in confusion, looking at the young man who fell silent after calling her name.

It felt... not quite right.

The other party's eyes were covered by bandages, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. There was only an illusion that the air around him seemed to be distorted for a moment.

"Gojo Satoru, my name."

The other party introduced her.

As before, send flowers, clothes and food, and approach slowly.

Chatting, shopping, listening to shamisen under the stars.

Then, the samurai appeared.

This time, Wujo Satoru rescued Mei who was bound by Wuhuada on the way, and cut the samurai's arm behind his back.

"Didn't I say there would be no next time?"

"When did you say—ah, pain pain—"

Even the samurai himself said so... It seems that it is not only Mei who has problems, but the whole world he sees.

Phantom cycle?

What is the breakthrough point?

After today, wake up again.

Rice shop, thief.

"..."

The young man stood on the street, took off the bandage, raised his head, stared at the void with six eyes, and the aura around him was a kind of coldness that made people shy away.What he stared at was not this strange but familiar world, but a more ethereal existence like the bottom of the world and the line of fate.

After a moment, he raised the corner of his mouth.

"interesting."

I'd like to see what tricks come up next.

Gojo Satoru tripped the thief and threw the money to the old man.

"I said, old man, how about inviting a young man to visit the store next time."

"Thank you, you are right, hey, how do you know..."

This time, Gojo Satoru stopped Xie Huamei from going to the shop.

"Don't go again, you should have guessed it, they may retaliate against you."

"But……"

"It's okay, it'll be alright."

The day passed without incident.

When I woke up the next day, it was that street again.

"Thief—catch a thief, young man—"

Gojo Satoru: "..."

He never wants to see Midian again in his life!I don't want to catch thieves anymore!

【the fourth time--】

When Xie Huamei was about to stab the sharp hairpin into the samurai's eyes, Gojo Satoru appeared and reached out to hold her wrist.

The angry girl was taken aback.

"... Mr. Wu!"

"give it to me."

"soy Mujer--"

At this moment, the samurai also realized what almost happened just now, startled and angry, he drew his sword and rushed over.

Gojo Satoru raised his hand unhurriedly, two fingers gripped the blade, and there was no lower limit through the thin.

"Hey, this kind of thing doesn't work for me."

He couldn't help but sighed, "It's been so many times, why haven't I learned a lesson yet."

Finding that the blade could not be pulled out, the head samurai Tsukidai widened his eyes.

Gojo Satoru exerted force with his fingers, and the blade was broken like a crisp.

"you you……"

The samurai backed away in horror.

"I'm actually not good at threatening people."

Gojo Satoru complained lightly.

That being said, he took out the scroll with a look of ease.

"I have already obtained evidence for some of your past actions. If you report it to the shogunate, guess what will happen... Hey, you guessed it with this expression! Not bad, not bad, it seems that you are a little self-aware."

Samurai: "...I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"The Ubuyashiki family, do you know? Ah, this reaction seems to be known," Gojo Satoru continued, "Someone of them is an official in the shogunate, and they have already agreed to help me with this. Do you want to try?"

"If you don't want to..."

Wujo Wu's tone changed suddenly, and his smile faded away.

"Apologize, and then don't bother Mei and her brother again."

"Hurry up and decide, my patience is very limited, hurry up."

The samurai gritted his teeth.

"……I see."

In the next few days, the samurai did not come to Mei again.

But still in the loop.

——It seems that the focus is not on the samurai.

【the fifth time--】

After approaching the siblings on the banks of the Rashomon River and gaining their trust, Gojo Satoru took them away from Huajie and let the old couple of Midian take them in.

That kind of shitty place should leave early.

The old couple liked their capable elder brother and beautiful Mei very much, and vacated the grocery store in the backyard for them to live in.Although it was a bit small, it could provide shelter from the wind and rain, much better than the dilapidated houses on the banks of the Rashomon River.

I thought things would turn around, but Yoshihara's shopkeeper came.

Human greed is a bottomless pit.Originally, Mei had already paid off the ransom when she left, but there were many guests who wanted to see Mei but found that she was gone.Looking at the situation, the shopkeeper felt that Mei was a cash cow, and it was a pity to let her go. The previous ransom was less.

So here they go again.

It happened that Gojo Satoru was asked by the Demon Slayer Squad for help at that time.Mei and her elder brother clashed with the people in the store, and no matter how hard the prostitute Taro could fight, he couldn't stand the crowd on the other side.In the end, the elder brother was knocked out, and Mei was tied up again——

Gojo Satoru arrived at the critical moment and kicked the torch away.

At the same time, he seemed to have created another self, asking calmly.

--why?

【the sixth time--】

After taking the siblings to the rice store, he simply stood guard there.

The conflict never happened again.But there was a wandering girl who was jealous of Mei's beauty before, and when she saw Mei Neng leave Huajie, she felt angry and secretly came to poison her.It was spotted by Six Eyes and stopped.

——Is the focus on Flower Street?

【Seventh time--】

Gojo Satoru chose to take the siblings further afield, at least outside the Kanto range.

I didn't do this before because I was worried that if I managed to get out of the "half-month" cycle, the siblings might have a difficult life in an unfamiliar place.

Now it seems necessary to try.Anyway, as long as that place in Yoshihara exists, they will be bound forever.

Attempts to go further afield were unsuccessful.

Everything that happened was pointing to a gradually clear fact.

- There is no way to change what is doomed.

He also knows the way to get out of the cycle, the key node is No.15 days.

that matter.

The thing he'd been holding back all along.

……

[No.12 times——]

When Gojo Satoru took Xie Huamei to listen to her play the shamisen under the starry sky again, he caught the fleeting moment when the other party saw his eyes.

"My eyes, do you feel familiar?"

"One thing," Xie Huamei nodded, and said, "It's very beautiful."

Gojo Satoru took the initiative to take her hand.

"Touch and see."

However, this time, Xie Huamei didn't follow his will to touch, but stretched out another hand to put on the back of his hand, and clasped his hand with both hands.

"Mr. Wu, your hands are a little cold."

"Let's go back."

she said.

Gojo Satoru didn't interfere any more.

It's the last day.

……

The first samurai of the Yue Dynasty approached with a torch.

The flames sizzled.

At the moment when the thatch was about to be ignited, the flame was still extinguished.

The slender man stood in front of Xie Huamei, scratching his head in frustration.

"Ah... as expected, it still can't be done."

Turn a blind eye or something.

After driving away the samurai, he turned around and squatted in front of the girl, who offered to give him a hug.

"... No matter how many times you do it again, I will never let you suffer this pain again."

Wujo Wu whispered.

"Ok?"

Xie Huamei stretched her head to look in the direction where the warrior disappeared, and frowned.

"Mr. Wu, hurry up, that person may seek revenge on you and bring many people with him."

It's rare to see you care about me, huh?

Gojo Wu felt a little teasing.

"Ah, what to do then?"

"So you go, or find a place to hide!"

Even though she was almost burned, the girl still showed a tough side at this time, "I'll ask my brother to think of a way."

Gojo Gojo chuckled, stood up, and stroked her hair with his hand.

"It doesn't matter, I'm the strongest."

At night, he still stayed by Xie Hua's brother and sister.

Half awake and half asleep, he heard a rustling sound, and someone moved to his side lightly.

"Mr. Wu?"

What do you want?

Mature men choose to pretend to be asleep.

The girl whispered in his ear.

"Thank you."

"..."

Gojo Satoru's fingertips moved slightly.

[No.13 times——]

The world of luxury and money is suddenly full of gongs and drums.The deafening sound instantly awakened sleeping, chatting, and indescribable men and women.They opened the paper window and rushed to the fence.

"What's wrong?!"

"What happened?!"

The silver-haired youth walked leisurely, and shouted in a drawn out tone.

"Wake up, wake up—"

"Don't sleep, don't sleep!"

"Fire is coming~"

"what?!"

Not far away, there is a hidden fire.Now Yoshihara was in a mess, the crowd pushed and shoved each other, and fled in panic.

Gojo Satoru helped a little girl who fell down, and watched her run away.

He lolled through the crowd, elegant and... crazy.

"Run faster, run faster~"

"The fire is coming."

After a while, the crowd dispersed.

Flames spread, and the night sky was painted with the color of burning clouds.

The man stood alone, and the two rows of houses beside him were burned to black charcoal and collapsed in pieces.And then—more and more fences and cages collapsed, falling into the smoke and dust in the sea of ​​fire.

The glitz is gone.

The whole Yoshihara was reduced to ashes.

Since this world is a checkerboard where black and white go back and forth, then I will overturn it!

He laughed amidst the flames and ruins.

——Since I can't save your tragedy, then I will destroy the source of the tragedy!
