The brave Simmel wants to resign

They need 'time'.

Ninety-nine years old, surfing the world again.

Yuta Otsukotsu is preparing to inherit Gojo Satoru's mantle. His outstanding performance in this Sukuna battle has already shown signs of him taking over the title of 'strongest in modern times'.

Xia Youjie lost almost all of his cursed spirits again. Although he was still powerful, he took a backseat and became a teacher.

The Kaba sisters and other children of the new generation are growing up rapidly.

Among them, the fastest growing is undoubtedly the one.

It’s Polygonum cuspidatum Hisuhito.

Because after this war ends, don't forget...

[Su Nuo still has ten fingers that haven't been removed.]

Sukuna has accepted his defeat, and his original intention was to release all his souls and reincarnate with Rime.

As a former fallen angel who stands at the pinnacle of the world of sorcery, Su Nuo knows that the so-called 'reincarnation' truly exists in this world.

of course.

Perhaps, hell really does exist.

Those who sow calamities throughout the world will surely fall into hell.

Why would Su Nuo, the once rampant and unruly King of Curses, choose to become a cursed object in order to be reborn a thousand years later?

First of all, just as Shi Liulong said—it's because he's not satisfied yet.

No matter how much he denies it or emphasizes his survival strategy as a strongman or a cursed being, he cannot explain his own actions.

The King of Curses may also be anticipating the birth of something he cannot explain, a thousand years after the Heian period.

Besides this expectation, there may also be a sense of aversion to the so-called hell.

Su Nuo was not afraid of hell, punishment, or torment; rather, he viewed hell as a form of defeat.

—[The Ullambana Sutra records: Venerable Maudgalyayana saw his deceased mother fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, suffering endless torment as if hanging upside down, and begged the Buddha for help.]

Sukuna chose the day of the rescue from the upside-down state as the day of the final battle.

Deep down, he also believed that his mother would be condemned to hell for giving birth to him, and that it was an act of 'weakness'.

He denied the path of being human and chose to curse.

This defeat has forced him to re-examine himself.

Even if hell exists, Sukuna would choose to accept it.

However, according to the explanation given by the high school afterwards, the Sukuna with ten fingers was no longer considered a particularly dangerous event in the world of sorcery. Moreover, the special-grade cursed object itself could also be used as an amulet, so the exact time of Sukuna's reincarnation still seems to be open to discussion.

Before that, Itadori's body would retain a portion of Sukuna's consciousness.

And their already outstanding talents, stimulated by this, are growing at an even faster pace.

In ten years... or even less, he will become a being comparable to a pet.

Wait until then.

This world then produced a host of outstanding sorcerers, including Gojo Satoru, Natsume Yuki, Tsukumo Yuki, Otsuku Yuta, and Itadori Yuujin.

so......

It's okay that I'm not here.

.....................

"In my experience, the final chapter of a manga usually starts to pair up characters with other characters."

"Naruto will marry Hinata, Sasuke will marry Sakura Haruno... but it seems that students in our vocational high school don't really like to have their relationships settled within the family."

Pushing open the iron gate, the wind enveloped my shoulders first.

Gojo Satoru and Simmel walked out. Gojo Satoru was wearing black sunglasses and his clothes were all black from head to toe. He was counting on his fingers and complaining about shonen manga.

"However, I've never seen a manga where the protagonist leaves the main group in the last chapter... Does Fairy Tail count? No, it doesn't really, it feels similar to Beelzebub. If I had to pick one, it would be Gintama."

"hehe."

Simmel simply smiled at Gojo Satoru's teasing.

He looked up at the sky, the colors of dusk shimmering in his azure pupils.

“The sunset is swift, it has the quality of flight.” Simmel held up a finger. “The sunset is perhaps the wings of this world. Just as a bee flaps its wings and flashes colors when it is collecting nectar, the world also flashes its possibility of flight in that instant. Everything at sunset is dancing and intertwining in a state of intoxication and trance, and finally falls and dies.”

"I go."

Beside the rooftop gate, Gojo Satoru exclaimed in surprise.

"Simmel, have you stopped watching the news and started watching Yukio Mishima?"

"Hmph, impressive, huh?"

The brave man proudly raised his head.

Since being criticized by Frilian for not studying properly, Simmel reluctantly started reading a little.

However, only by standing in front of the fence can one truly understand the meaning of the saying that the sunset is the world's fleeting wing.

Colors spread across the sky freely—crimson, violet, honey gold—making all the mundane joys and sorrows of the world seem futile in the face of the magnificent sunset.

Nothing beautiful lasts forever.

"Stories always come to an end."

Simmel had her back to Gojo Satoru, and her phone was in her hand.

Tap your thumb, and the photos in the gallery will start to change.

.......

At the same time, the hero's mind also flashed back to the bits and pieces of his life since arriving in this world.

At first, Gojo Satoru was just a high school student, but now the guy behind him is a mature and reliable teacher approaching thirty.

The carefree daily life during high school, the busy yet fulfilling nine years, and the frequent major events that followed.

The first encounter with Eto, the Shibuya Incident, the return of the dead, and finally the battle against the King of Curses.

Simmel saw far too much.

and so--

"I have to go now."

There was a two-second silence before Gojo Satoru let out a sound that was almost a sigh.

"......ha."

Gojo Satoru was wearing sunglasses, so his expression wasn't very clear.

"Oh, I know you've already said goodbye to everyone properly."

"I know it must be very uncomfortable for everyone to be crying so much."

"I know all too well that I was pushed out of my position, told I was the most suitable person to see someone off..."

"But even I know that I have to say something sentimental at times like this... so I'll just go along with what you're saying."

Gojo Satoru took off his sunglasses.

That's something students rarely see—the serious demeanor of this man named Gojo Satoru.

"Do not worry."

Even if you leave, you still have me, and you still have Jay.

"If Jay and I leave, there's still Youtai."

"When You get too old, there's still Tiger Staff. He's half-human, half-cursed spirit, so he should be able to last a very, very long time."

"And while he was alive, he would certainly have raised reliable successors."

So, you see—

Gojo Satoru raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and smiled like the early summer sun—clean and open.

"People are not that fragile."

"Go in peace! I'll burn incense for you every year!"

"Don't burn incense! I'll still come back occasionally, okay?" Simmel said with a laugh.

"whee."

Gojo Satoru grinned and deliberately made a funny face.

but....

Simmel smiled with satisfaction.

He turned his head.

Even if I stay here, it will only be harder to say goodbye.

So he prepared to answer the goddess's call, but as he turned his head...

"Hey, Simmel."

"Ok?"

Do you remember the meteor shower we watched in high school?

Simmel paused in her movements, then quickly remembered what had happened back then.
