"Everything is in there." The boss came over excitedly with five small boxes.

His appearance broke the stalemate.

I took a quick glance and saw that it was wrapped in light blue floral cloth with a beautiful bow tied around it, and inside were a variety of desserts.

Gojo got the one in the shape of a cat's paw, Geto got a fox head, Mimiko and Nanako got a pair of black and white rabbits, and mine was a round thing with a pair of black bean-like eyes on it.

"What is this?" I picked it up and shook it in confusion, and the dessert immediately began to shake elastically.

"This is a slime." The boss showed his white teeth on his dark skin: "Because I think you and its temperament are the best match."

Uh...what temperament?

The temperament to be picked up and thrown at the enemy?

"It seems that I can't continue talking today... or..."

"Ding Dong~" The doorbell at the store entrance suddenly rang.

Are there new guests?

The glass door was opened, and a lively voice came from the door: "Dad, I'm off work, let's go eat something delicious."

It was a girl with a ponytail and a sunflower hairpin on her head.

He looked young, probably about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing green clothes and came skipping in from the door.

"Eh? It's Mimiko and Nanako. You actually came to eat at my restaurant?" Her eyes were filled with enthusiasm and liveliness: "If I had known you were coming, I would have left work earlier."

"Yeah." Nanako responded subconsciously, and then looked at Geto Suguru hurriedly: "Master Suguru, no, we are not very familiar..."

"It's okay." Xia Youjie smiled and turned to ask her: "I am the father of Mimiko and Nanako. Are you their friend?"

The girl opened her mouth wide, looked at her father, then looked at Xia Youjie, as if she was shocked that he was so young.

Not to mention father, it seems a bit of a stretch to even call him uncle.

Then he realized what was happening and said quickly, "I met them when I was working part-time at a dessert shop. Nanako really liked the crepes there."

"So that's how it is." Xia Youjie's eyes darkened: "Thank you for taking care of my two daughters. But it's getting late, we may have to leave first."

"Then you are welcome to visit us again next time." The boss put his hand on his daughter's shoulder and said goodbye to them happily.

After walking out of the store, Mimiko and Nanako were still feeling uneasy.

"Master Geto, don't be angry. We just occasionally say a few words while waiting in line. She is not qualified to be our friend at all." Mimiko pulled Nanako and followed his pace.

“We’re never going to that store again.”

Gojo Satoru and I followed behind him side by side.

"..." At this moment, Geto Suguru's mood could not be described as happy or unhappy at all.

If I have to say, it might be a little more frustrating.

He sighed and said, "I'm really not angry."

"Really?" Mimiko said timidly, "Are you really not angry?"

"You are just making friends." He said, "Why should I be angry?"

Because she can't see the curse, she is an ordinary person, she is a monkey.

Nanako's words were not spoken out loud, and they remained in her mouth after going around in circles.

Xia Youjie stopped and said, "You guys should go back first." He said, "Follow Miguel and don't come to me alone again."

"This..." They looked up with tears in their eyes: "Master Xia Yu, don't you want us anymore?"

"No." He comforted her, "I am still a prisoner of the college. If you come to me again, you will only get yourself into trouble."

"I say." Gojo Satoru crossed his arms and looked at the three of them: "Jie, you are too self-righteous. Did I ever tell them that they can go back?"

"Wu!" Xia Youjie's voice was rarely harsh, and the two looked at each other in the silent night.

Gojo Satoru said: "I have two options here."

He held up a finger and said, "Option one: I will take you back to the High Commissioner and let you be supervised by him."

He held up a second finger: "Option two, set up constraints, and forbid harming ordinary people, and forbid killing anyone who is less powerful than you."

Option 2 is actually a more dangerous choice, because if this kind of restraint is really established, it will basically eliminate the possibility of Mimiko and Nanako using force.

But they are curse masters, and if they really face an attack from others, they will be restricted by this restraint.

But on the other hand, in order to avoid conflicts, they will also be cautious and will not rashly appear in front of the sorcerer.

It's a two-way protection.

"......" Xiayou Jie was about to say something when he was interrupted by Mimiko: "Then let's choose two."

The two held hands tightly. "If you really choose to go to technical high school, Master Geto will never be able to come out again."

"We are outside, and we will definitely think of a way to free Master Xia Yu!" After saying that, they bowed to Master Xia Yu and said, "Master Xia Yu, please wait for us."

The girls left quickly, as if they were afraid that Gojo Satoru would change his mind and take her back.

The darkness of night fell on everyone's face.

We had reached a bridge and were standing side by side looking at the scenery facing the river.

The neon lights not far away are flashing in the night, emitting colorful lights.

The wind blew the leaves on both sides, making a rustling sound.

Pedestrians on the roadside were wrapped in scarves and walked hurriedly.

The river under the bridge was hitting the stone wall with waves pushing against it, and occasionally there were waves splashing on the rocks on the shore.

The night is so quiet, it seems like a good time to have a chat.

"They are afraid of you." Gojo Satoru put his hand on the railing and tapped it gently: "Did you see that?"

It’s not so much that I’m afraid of Geto Suguru, but rather that I’m very afraid that he will be unhappy.

After the two sisters were rescued by Getsu, they worshipped him like a god.

Lord Gasyu's words are the truth, what Lord Gasyu does is a great cause, Lord Gasyu will not make mistakes, Lord Gasyu cannot be offended, and Lord Gasyu hates monkeys, and so do we, we must hate monkeys.

Compared to other curse masters whom Geto Suguru regarded as family members, Mimiko and Nanako were obviously more like his followers, worshiping everything he did.

"Yeah." Xia Youjie smiled bitterly, "I can see that."

That's why he felt even more powerless.

"Am I a bad parent?" he muttered, "I taught my daughter to be so afraid of herself."

"Jie." He turned his head and asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"

“…” What a difficult question to answer.

Can I say that my own life is so difficult that I am simply unable to bear the burden of raising two children?

"I don't know." I said, "Maybe I'll entrust them to a trustworthy family for adoption, and then visit them regularly."

"To be responsible for the future of two other lives is just too heavy a burden, and I don't think I'm ready for it right now."

Of course, I don’t think Geto Suguru had that either.

Even now.

If I hadn't pulled him out from Gojo Satoru's clutches, he would have died just like in the original novel.

Mimiko and Nanako lost the most important person to them, and all they cared about was revenge for the body of Master Getsu. In the end, they died powerlessly under Sukuna's sword.

This kind of life, this kind of fate, is so tragic.

Children should enjoy their youth to their heart's content. They are at the right age now.

He looked at me steadily: "So, if it were you, would you think this way?"

“I’m a very good escapist.” I said, “If I’m afraid of facing something, I’ll run away as fast as I can.”

Gojo Satoru interjected from behind me: "Jay, you really are a very stubborn person."

He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I am really a very stubborn person."
