Curse Back to Five Summers: Best Friends Are an Excuse for Couples

The physical pleasure did not really allow Geto Suguru to escape from the world. After entering the sage time, he still inevitably thought of the little girl.

Gojo Satoru was lying on the bed resting. He opened one eye and saw Gosho staring at the ceiling. He probably knew what his problem was.

"Hey," Gojo Satoru put his big hand on Geto Suguru's arm. Although he rarely exercises, his biceps are still well-developed.

"If you're really worried, then go to that clinic and ask. You're pretty familiar with the nurse, so she should be able to give you the courtesy and tell you."

Xia Yujie's face was not optimistic. The nurse said that day that they could not disclose the patient's information at will. Even if they were not strangers, the other party would not disclose it to him knowing that it was against the regulations. This involved professional ethics.

Seeing that Geto was sullen and silent, Gojo Satoru offered him another suggestion, "Aren't you going for a checkup tomorrow? If the child is really cursed, she probably won't recover so easily. She might feel unwell from time to time and might become a frequent visitor to that clinic."

Did Gojo Satoru mean to try his luck?

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Yujie found that there was no other good way, so it seemed that the only way was to try his luck.

Gojo Satoru kept looking at Geto's profile. After a moment's silence, he sighed and said, "Mr. Geto, you really care too much about other people's feelings. You two just met by chance, and they only helped you out of a small effort, without expecting anything in return. Yet, you're secretly blaming yourself for not being able to help that child exorcise the curse."

“…” Geto Xiayou listened silently without saying anything.

Gojo Satoru added, "You've been blaming yourself, haven't you? You just keep it hidden in your heart and don't talk about it. You think about it from time to time, right?"

"That child is still so young, about the same age as when I first met Mimiko and Nanako."

Because they are about the same age as when I first met my daughters, that’s why I can’t forget them and I care about them so much, right?

After all, how can it not be considered a kind of psychological discomfort caused by excessive empathy?

Just thinking too much.

"One person can't save everyone, so even if you can't, just do your best and don't get yourself into trouble."

Geto Suguru turned over and stretched out his arms to hug Gojo Satoru. At this moment, Gojo Satoru was not just a lover to him, but perhaps also a pillow, a pillow that could comfort him when he was hesitant and vulnerable.

"I didn't even make a move at that time, so what's the point of trying my best?"

Gojo Satoru smiled. The Geto Suguru who hated ordinary people was finally changing little by little.

"Let's try our luck tomorrow, okay?"

Geto Suguru opened his eyes and looked down at him, and saw Gojo Satoru raising his face from his chest and looking back at him.

"Aren't you very busy? I can go by myself. Besides, they can go to that clinic..." Xia Yujie remembered that the first time he met the little girl and her family of three was around two o'clock in the morning.

Anyone who showed up at the 24-hour clinic in the early hours of the morning could only be a nearby resident.

"If I'm really unlucky, I can still send the cursed spirit out to search."

"Curse spirit?"

A flash of panic and embarrassment crossed Geto's face. He pursed his lips and explained in a low voice, "You should be able to see what my technique is. The holder of the Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique can swallow the curse spirit. After the two are compatible, I can use the curse spirit for my own benefit. I used to have some curse spirits that I could use."

Gojo Satoru looked up at Geto Suguru for a long time. Geto Suguru felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he turned his eyes to the side, refusing to meet Gojo Satoru's gaze.

Gojo Satoru smiled and asked casually, "If I were to swallow it, then... what would the cursed spirit taste like?"

Geto Suguru was obviously stunned for a moment. Gojo Satoru and Nozomi had asked the same question in the past. Now that he was reborn, Gojo Satoru still asked the same question.

"It's just a very strange taste, hard to describe." Geto Suguru gave a similar explanation as he did back then.

As if it was a habit, he added, "Of course it doesn't taste as good as Kikufuku."

Gojo Satoru nodded. "Then it probably won't taste like candy, will it?"

"what?"

Gojo Satoru said this seriously, and he repeated, "The Curse Spirits probably don't taste as good as candy, right?"

“…It’s natural.”

Gojo Satoru snorted and began to speculate, "I think that thing must taste disgusting, so disgusting that after swallowing it, you will feel nauseous and want to vomit it out again, right?"

Geto Xia Yu looked at Gojo Satoru in surprise, "Satoru, why do you feel this way?"

In this world, apart from himself and the cat named Xiao Wu, there should be no other person who knows the smell of the cursed spirit. Why does Gojo Satoru think so?

Seeing Geto Suguru's surprised look, Gojo Satoru grinned and said, "I guessed. Think about it, cursed spirits come from human negative emotions. Things that come from negative emotions can't be delicious no matter how you think about it, right?"

He also said, "If it's produced from a happy and positive emotion, I think it would be as delicious as ice cream, don't you think, Mr. Geta?"

This, this seems to make perfect sense.

Xia Yujie stared at Gojo Satoru blankly for a while, then suddenly laughed. His slender almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile. Xia Yujie's mood finally relaxed a little because of Gojo Satoru's words.

Gojo Satoru sat up from the bed and patted the back of Geto's hand to comfort him. "I'll try to find you as early as possible tomorrow, and then accompany you to the outpatient clinic for a follow-up check. We'll also try our luck. If we're unlucky and don't encounter them, you can use the cursed spirit to search for them again."

"why?"

Gojo Satoru didn't understand what Geto Suguru meant, "Why?"

"Why do you have to accompany me? You are so busy, why don't you let me use the curse spirit from the beginning?"

Gojo Satoru supported himself on the bed with one hand and just looked at Geto Suguru. After a long time, he smiled helplessly.

He pointed at his eyes and said, "Six eyes can see through your spells. Mr. Geto probably doesn't have many curse spirits to use. Moreover, if your curse spirits are exorcised, they will be lost. To replenish them, you have to endure that disgusting smell. It must be painful, right?"

"That's why you..."

"Yeah," Gojo Satoru nodded and smiled even more brightly. He suddenly leaned over, put his hands on both sides of Geto Suguru's shoulders, and looked at Geto Suguru from right above.

He said softly, "Yes, I don't want Mr. Geta to be sad because of the loss of the curse spirit, nor do I want him to swallow disgusting curse spirits just to maintain his level. So, unless it is necessary, it is better not to use the curse spirits to avoid accidents."

Just as Geto Suguru thought, Gojo Satoru was indeed thinking about him.
