Curse back: Gender-swapped cosplayers always meet the real person

Gojo Satoru returned to Tokyo only after he dealt with the last cursed spirit.

Idichi came to pick him up in his car.

It was raining heavily today, and the tire rolled over a small pothole in the road, splashing water all over the ground.

Raindrops hit the car window, blurring my vision, and everything outside became hazy.

There is a traffic light ahead, and it will take a long 90 seconds.

At the busy intersection, neon lights flicker, illuminating the night sky.

It’s not a rare night view.

Gojo Satoru looked out the window casually and saw a flower shop on the side of the road.

It was already late at night. The street lamps cast a dim light on the small shop supported by a scaffold. On the wooden stand were lined up bouquets of flowers, wrapped in ribbons and cellophane - they were blue roses.

Blue rose, blue rose.

Gojo Satoru.

He vaguely recalled his birthday one year when the ancient family held a grand banquet and he sat in the center of the crowd wearing a moon-white hunting robe.

Among those who gave gifts, someone presented a bouquet of blue roses, which was blocked by other more luxurious gifts and was cramped in a corner.

For some reason, this bouquet of flowers attracted his attention.

He walked over, pointed at the flower and asked, what is this?

The visitor answered respectfully, this is a blue rose.

"The color of this flower is similar to your eyes, and I thought you might like it, so I sent it to you."

He lowered his head to the person who was crawling in front of him. Although the person was much older than him, he used honorifics humbly and called him "you".

……

The layers of petals are stretched out and intertwined, one after another, closely crowded together, swaying slightly in the wind outside.

A petal was blown gently onto the car window by the wind.

He remembered the day when Xia Yujie said that he liked blue roses the most because he hoped a miracle would happen to him.

The red light began to count down: 10,9,8, , ...

Ijichi released the foot brake and was about to start when he heard Gojo Satoru's voice from behind him: "Ijichi, stop for a moment. I want to get off. You go back first."

He opened the car door without an umbrella.

The light shone on Gojo Satoru's head, casting a very long shadow.

He reached out and peeled off the petal. The sound of starting was heard and the car drove away.

On this rainy day, Gojo Satoru bought a bouquet of flowers.

Blue rose, flower language is miracle

*

When I returned to the college, it was already dark.

Gojo Satoru walked in the rain holding a bouquet of blue roses.

When the raindrops reach nearby, they are separated by invisible forces and can only turn around and fall to the ground.

He walked cleanly on the wet road alone.

He immediately sensed that the cursed tool on Geto Suguru's neck had been broken.

Xia Youjie was wearing a five-stripe cassock, with a dark red mark on his neck.

He sat at the door of Jie's room with one leg raised and a wooden box placed on the other leg. The lid was open, revealing a slightly scratched cherry hairpin and two black curse jades.

The black collar that was once stuck around the neck was violently broken in the middle, and the metal block left its original embedded position and lay alone on the floor.

Gojo Satoru walked up to him, held on to the pillar, sat on the railing, and looked at him quietly.

Xia Yujie looked intently at the cherry hairpin in the box, without looking up, and asked, "Where did the flowers come from?"

Gojo Satoru picked up the flowers in his hand, looked at them, and put them down again: "I bought them when I passed by a flower shop."

"..."

"Where did she go?"

"Gone." Xia Youjie said, "Back to his own world."

Gojo Satoru lowered his eyes, his white eyelashes trembling slightly, his beautiful ice-blue eyes contrasting with the roses: "Is that so... that's good too..."

The rain gradually subsided, and the only sound in the corridor was the sound of raindrops.

Xia Yujie reached out and took out the hairpin, touching the red fruit and green leaves on it, and sighed: "I wanted to buy a better-looking one for her..."

"Did she have any words for me before she left?" asked Gojo Satoru.

"She said she was very grateful for your taking her in. She had caused you a lot of trouble these days..." Xia Yujie paused: "Thank you very much. That's what she said."

"Nothing else?"

"Nothing."

"Did she say anything to you?"

"Satoru." Xia Youjie finally looked up at him: "I have been asking you why you didn't kill me, and you have been evading me with various excuses. Now it's time for you to tell me."

"........" Gojo Satoru walked over to him, leaned against the other side of the door, and sat down: "When you defected, I told Ye Moth that I can only save those who want to be saved."

"That day in the alley, you were ready to die, so I was ready to fulfill your wish."

"But, she appeared." Gojo Satoru fell into memories.

A girl who looks like and yet doesn't look like Geto Suguru, who has the same cursed power and techniques as him, but is definitely not the same person, sits in front of them, telling lies in all seriousness.

What about the gender-changing Geto Suguru in the parallel world? Even if he believed that the dead were resurrected, he would not believe this. He just thought that she was a good person, so he did not delve into the lies she told.

"I don't know what changed you in her, but you have the motivation to live again." Gojo Satoru said calmly: "I can see it without the six eyes."

"So, I decided not to kill you."

"Is that so?" Xia Youjie clenched the cherry hairpin tightly, "That day, I really didn't want to die."

"Because I want to see how far Xia Yujie can go in this world."

"So I'm saying that you are a radical, stubborn, and obstinate person..."

The rain stopped completely.

On a night like this, spring cicadas climb up to the treetops and begin to chirp, and the night seems even quieter when there are no raindrops falling on the eaves.

"It's good that Jie left. Anyway, she is always being schemed against by the old oranges here, and she has to be tied to a little eye like you. I guess she wanted to leave a long time ago. Ah, there is still a large sum of money. After deducting 99%, it should still be a large sum of money..."

Gojo Satoru became lively again, "I don't know if she can use that card in her original world..."

"Lily." Xiayou Jie said, "Her name is Suzuki Yuri."

Gojo Satoru stopped.

He held the blue roses in his palms. After a day of wind and rain, the flowers were still blooming in the spring, with a faint fragrance.

Gojo Satoru sighed softly.

"Is this her original name?" Gojo Satoru placed the flowers at Lily's door.

"Lily. What a beautiful name."

Is your name Lily but you don’t like lilies?

Gojo Satoru looked through the door and looked inside.

On the bed, which he had someone bring over and assembled by himself, there was a carving of a blooming lily.

The room had just been tidied before she left. The quilt was neatly folded and placed against the wall, and the necklaces and ornaments on the bedside table were all in their original places.

There was a small backpack on the ground, which she had taken out when she threatened to run away from school.

In the closet, the clothes that he and Geto Suguru had "carefully" selected were hanging intact.

It was as if she had just happened to be on an errand.

But Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru both knew that she would never come back.

"Satoru." Xia Youjie said, "I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?" asked Gojo Satoru.

"Return to Panxing Sect."

"Are you going to practice your righteousness again?"

"My ambition will not change." Xia Youjie said lightly, and the special-grade curse spirit was summoned out and stood beside him.

"But maybe I can do it another way."

"What's more..." Xia Youjie looked outside the wall of the technical high school from a distance: "You may seem powerful in the world of sorcery, but in fact, there are many constraints. If I return to the Panxing Sect, maybe I can put some pressure on them from the outside."

Gojo Satoru glanced at Masato and said, "Since you are going back, can you lend me Miguel? Otsutsuki needs someone to accompany him when he goes abroad for training."

"I can ask for you."

Xia Youjie stood up and walked to the path leading to the outside world: "Well, this is farewell. Satoru, goodbye."

Gojo Satoru nodded: "Yeah."

"Goodbye, Jay."

The blue roses that failed to be delivered were quietly placed on the table in Suzuki Yuri's room.

"Goodbye, Lily," he said finally.

Goodbye actually means meeting again.

So, will they have a next time?
