The brave Simmel wants to resign

There are five.

Gojo Satoru is back.

He quickly used his magical power to strengthen his body and hurried to the gate of the college.

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

..

The morning light bathed the ground in front of the high school in a warm gold, while Gojo Satoru stood with his back to the sunlight.

The black uniform was slightly disheveled, with many obvious tears.

He had one hand in his pocket and the other hanging at his side.

His sunglasses, which he always wore, were nowhere to be found. His clear blue eyes were lowered, and his usually relaxed posture seemed somewhat sluggish.

Seeing this scene, and seeing that he was all alone, Moth knew what the outcome would be.

"...Teacher, I'm sorry."

Although Masamichi Yagami knew the answer, he couldn't bear to blame his student, but Satoru Gojo took the initiative to speak.

"...That guy is gone."

"You couldn't stop him either?"

"..."

Wu Tiao remained silent.

But his silence lasted only a short time. He suddenly raised his head and saw two figures in front of him.

Nanami and Glass.

Although they seem to bicker and joke around on a daily basis, they are ultimately partners who trust each other. At this moment, Shoko is leaning against a tree smoking, while Nanami stands a little further away, looking worried.

Nanami didn't know what to say at that moment, and just as she was about to speak, she felt the warmth on her shoulder.

popping.

Shoko, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, patted Nanami on the shoulder in a comforting gesture, then used the momentum to propel herself forward.

She came to Gojo Satoru.

"Xia You said she didn't want to come back?"

"...Um."

"Is that so? Then there's nothing we can do."

Shoko took the cigarette from her lips, lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes casting shadows, and her eyes half-closed.

"Gotiao, you must be very tired right now."

"..."

Wu Tiao remained silent.

"But if you expect me to wake you up or comfort you and let you rest, then you've misplaced your trust. No, you're not that naive."

The cigarette between his fingers was flicked aside.

"Even if you two break up, I can't interfere. And to be honest, I'm quite annoyed by this. If you ask me—you're both so childish."

Haha.

Gojo Satoru forced a smile, though he couldn't actually laugh. But at this moment, hearing such a sharp and menacing accusation actually made him feel relieved.

"But anyway, there are always people who will take care of you for me... Go ahead."

Shoko slapped Gojo on the back, and instead of feeling anything utterly shameless, she made Gojo Satoru stumble forward.

There are still people.

The moth lowered its head and couldn't help but sigh.

He knew that relying on "that person" at this time was extremely shameful and a dereliction of duty as a teacher, but... it was the only way.

Wu Tiao nodded and walked towards the teaching building.

Hey.

Hey.

Step by step, the heavy footsteps made my vision tremble slightly.

The familiar path, the steps of the teaching building, and the last classroom.

Swah——

With one hand, Gojo Satoru opened the wooden door and saw the people inside the classroom.

The blue-haired 'boy' was sitting on the table, one leg naturally stretched out, the other leg bent inward, his arm hanging down on it, and he casually swept his hair across his forehead as Gojo Satoru entered.

"Oh, I knew you'd be back around that time."

Looking at Simmel, Gojo Satoru was in a bad mood at all.

On one hand, he was very anxious because his best friend had left, but this guy seemed so relaxed and natural. On the other hand, the two months they had spent together made him feel that Simmel had the right to be like this.

They can remain calm and composed in the face of any situation.

Ultimately, he is a heroic spirit, someone who has been through it all.

But I had subconsciously avoided thinking that 'this guy is actually an elder'.

At this moment, the bewildered Gojo Satoru subconsciously sought solace, specifically in Simmel—a fact that made Gojo Satoru feel ashamed.

"You really have it easy."

I couldn't help but use harsh words to cover up my inner turmoil.

"You're Nanako and Mimiko's shikigami, is it really okay for you to let your master be taken away like this?"

"Please don't misunderstand, to be honest, I'm very disappointed in myself."

Simmel closed her eyes.

"The deaths of more than twenty people inside that building are all my responsibility."

"I was too arrogant and didn't understand the weapons and equipment of this world in detail. I also underestimated the fanaticism of non-sorcerers in this era. But this compensation may have to wait until I find the Panxing Cult."

Even the bravest person cannot be completely without making mistakes.

But since you are a hero, you must be prepared to bear everything.

"As for Nanako and Mimiko—of course, no problem. They were kidnapped by Natsuyu, and Natsuyu won't hurt them."

"...You really trust him?"

"You feel the same way, otherwise why would you let him go?"

"........."

Gojo Satoru fell silent, his expression suddenly turning wary, while Simmel calmly pointed out.

"Your [Six Eyes], once it locks onto the target's curse power, can easily sense the other party's location even from halfway around the world."

That's right.

“You couldn’t have misjudged Xia You’s power of magic—if you wanted to, Xia You could never have left. You let him go on purpose, didn’t you?”

His expression changed, and Gojo Satoru was just about to say something—

"It's not that I can't understand your thoughts."

Simmel interrupted.

He still smiled as usual.

"You've noticed the true nature of summer oil, haven't you?"

Gojo Satoru:......

"Because you are best friends, you know the moment you see him that things are beyond repair."

He slowly closed his eyes.

"But I am an adult."

"While I can tolerate a child's willfulness, if he makes a choice based on impulse, I need to pull him back and give him time to think it over."

Both sides remained silent for a long time.

But suddenly, Gojo Satoru heard Simmel chuckle softly.

"why are you laughing...."

"Excuse me, but I should... consider it a relief."

Simmel's story is incoherent and unresolved.

"In my opinion, things are not as bad as I expected. More importantly, your and Xia You's reactions are better than I expected, so... I'm a little relieved."

"Huh?! It couldn't possibly be worse than this, could it?!" Gojo Satoru clicked his tongue in amazement.

“Hmm… how should I put it?” Simmel looked up and pondered, “Even if the plot is exactly the same, the characters’ inner thoughts may not be the same, and… don’t be blinded by appearances, Gojo, the situation is not as bad as you think.”

I can't understand it at all.

However, just as this guy said, Gojo Satoru did indeed deliberately let Natsuyu go.

On the one hand, everything happened too suddenly, and Gojo Satoru's pride did not allow him to humbly beg his best friend for a response to his expectations.

But more importantly, Gojo Satoru was able to clearly understand Natsume's choice, and even... sense the distorted 'goodwill' within it.

He wasn't entirely wrong.

He couldn't even bring himself to deny the other person. He said harsh things like breaking their limbs, but even Wu Tiao knew that was all he could do... He was showing weakness to the greatest extent possible.

Then, Xia You rejected the request that he could tell was wrong.

Everything is heading towards the worst possible outcome.

Even though he felt extremely dissatisfied with his current state of mind and the way he was expecting Simmel to act like a spoiled child, Gojo Satoru still couldn't help but look at her.

So the brave man chuckled and jumped off the desk.
