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

I went out once and brought back two students. This trip to the north was definitely worth it.

The car arrived and the two adults got in first. Seeing that if they didn't say anything, it would take an unknown amount of time before they would meet again, Kugisaki could no longer hold back.

"Don't forget our agreement to meet in Tokyo. Now that I'm gone, it's your turn, Xiaowen."

"Wild rose..."

"With Saori, then the three of us can play together again."

The person standing on the car finally turned around, and tears appeared on his smiling face. No matter how hard Kugisaki tried to hold back, the tears still filled his eyes.

She thought of when Saori left. At that time, the little girl cried loudly as she looked at the moving truck going away. Now, she has grown up and no longer cries loudly. She has learned to shed tears silently.

In fact, Kugisaki has never been a crybaby. She knows that action is more effective than crying.

She also thought that when she grew up, she would never cry again no matter what she faced. But when she saw Xiaowen alone, looking at her with big eyes wide open and reluctant, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Because I am no longer a child, and because I have grown up, my way of crying has changed, but my mood is the same. I couldn't bear to part with Saori back then, and I can't bear to part with Xiaowen either now.

The car door closed and the car started slowly. Kugisaki leaned on the car window and looked at Xiaowen who was standing there.

She remembered that on the day Saori left, she was the only one crying.

Xiaowen held her dirty little hand and looked at her crying in a daze and confusion. Xiaowen seemed unable to understand why she was crying so sadly.

Now, they have all grown up, and they have gone from crying loudly to shedding tears silently. In contrast, Xiaowen, the ignorant and bewildered girl, looked at the car that took her away and burst into tears.

"That child was crying so sadly."

"That's it."

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru came over from the left and right, and followed Kugisaki to look at the figure outside the car window that was getting smaller and smaller.

"Didn't I tell you to say goodbye properly? You won't listen to the teacher?"

Kugisaki frowned and glared at Gojo Satoru with disgust.

However, Geto Suguru said gently, "Wait a while, when the girl's mood has calmed down a bit, Kugisaki-san should give her a call, or even send her a message."

This time, Kugisaki did not despise him, but nodded silently.

The car turned a corner, and Xiaowen's figure disappeared completely. Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru found an empty seat and sat down. Kugisaki reluctantly withdrew his gaze and sat next to them across the aisle.

She was thinking that maybe, as a friend, she was really just being a bad person.

I can't forget Saori, who I spent a short time with. I cried bitterly because of the separation. In the days that followed, I kept mentioning this person over and over again, and frequently expressed my longing and love for this person to another friend.

So, how does Xiaowen feel when he sees himself as his best and only friend?

If you put yourself in his shoes, if your only and best friend is obsessed with another friend, he would probably be furious and even hurt internally, but Xiaowen didn't say anything.

Just like Saori who left here, I have also left now, leaving Xiaowen alone.

So, what does Xiaowen think?

In the morning light, the girl with tears in her eyes watched the car driving away from her sight. At this moment, she seemed to have suddenly returned to the winter of her first grade, with Wild Rose crying loudly beside her.

Saori left, and Nobara was so sad that her face was covered with tears and snot.

At that time, she didn't understand why Wild Rose would cry like this for someone she had only known for a short time.

Now, after a few years, she finally understood Wild Rose's feelings at that time.

They both yearn for the part of the other person that they don't have. Wild Rose yearns for Saori's maturity and elegance, and yearns for life in the big city.

And I admire the wild rose's unyielding and wild vitality.

When the part of you that you long for leaves you and goes far away, it feels like your soul is being torn apart.

"Wait for me in Tokyo for three years. I'll be there in three years."

Being able to express one's demands with a firm gaze is probably the first step for Xiaowen to achieve his dream.

There were two of them when they came, and three when they left. To Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru, it was just like an old father taking his daughter who had never seen the world into the city. Just by taking a bus to Morioka, Kugisaki was already dazzled by the sight of the big city.

"Can I stay here for a while? I want to walk around."

Gojo Satoru grabbed the hoodie of Kugisaki's shirt with one hand to prevent her from running around like a rabbit.

"Miss, please be quiet. Our car will leave in twenty minutes and we'll be going through security now. Please don't run around, okay?"

Kugisaki curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "Tsk, how boring!"

Only after actually getting on the bus bound for Miyagi did Kugisaki truly feel that he had left the village that he had hated for so long.

The world outside is prosperous and fresh. She can follow her two teachers to Miyagi first, and then return to Tokyo from Miyagi.

Tokyo, that’s a city I’ve only seen on TV. It must be ten times, no, a hundred times, more prosperous than Morioka!

Itadori and Gojo Satoru agreed on a meeting time, and when they met again, it would be time for him to leave for Tokyo.

After being scolded by his grandfather yesterday, Yuji found Gojo Satoru's business card from the trash can, but he didn't call Gojo Satoru immediately.

He hesitated for a whole day, wondering if there was any way to make his grandfather change his mind.

But after thinking about it for a whole day, he still couldn't come up with a suitable solution.

Now that my grandfather has reached the end of his life, wouldn’t it be better for me not to go against his wishes?

Perhaps, he just wanted to see that he could have a more stable home before he left.

In the morning, after hesitating for a whole day, Yuji finally calmed down and called Gojo Satoru, asking a lot of questions about the Jujutsu High School.

Although Gojo Satoru looks strange in his appearance, he speaks very sincerely.

After hearing his answers, Yuji couldn't help but sigh that perhaps for the time being, the Jujutsu High School was indeed the most suitable place for him to go.

There is no tuition fee, food and accommodation are provided, and when you are able to go on missions, you can also get a portion of the remuneration.

In a place like this, we can survive even if we stop spending grandpa's money, right?

Maybe it was because my grandfather knew this that he was so eager to let me go.

He should make grandpa feel at ease.
