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

When Xia Yujie received a call from Kong Shiyu, he was lying on the balcony railing enjoying the night view.

The balcony faces the rolling mountains. At night, when there are no lights, there is no beauty to speak of, but more of an elusive sense of mystery.

Dinner was ready, but Gojo Satoru suddenly called and said he had something to do, so he wouldn't be back for dinner.

Looking at the loving dinner for two on the table, Geto Suguru lost his desire to eat.

However, thinking of how Gojo Satoru always said he was too thin, he ate a few bites with tasteless taste. Finally, he put down his chopsticks and went to the balcony to get some fresh air.

I have a cigarette in my mouth, but I don't have any addiction to it. I only take it out and smoke it when I think of it when I am lonely and bored.

Gojo Satoru suddenly had to go somewhere for business at this time, and there was a high probability that he would not come back tonight.

Since Gojo Satoru doesn't come back, Geto Suguru won't have to worry about leaving the smell of cigarettes on him, which he doesn't like.

The orange-red flame on the cigarette butt flickered with Geto Suguru's breathing.

On early summer nights, even the night breeze becomes exceptionally gentle, making one want to hum a love song.

But he didn't do that, as he felt he was not very good at singing or humming.

Xia Yujie was smoking and checking the news on his phone to pass the time. It was at this time that Kong Shiyu called.

Kong Shiyu said that the task mentioned earlier urgently needs someone to do it, and he asked Xia Yujie if he had time.

Xia Yujie was a little bit unbelievable, "You mean now?"

Kong Shiyu was very anxious. He said yes and added, "The previous people failed, and they are very anxious now. They need someone to exorcise the cursed spirit to prevent it from continuing to cause trouble. They said that if you can do this task now, they are willing to increase the reward to 120 million."

The wind blew the smoke that Geto Suguru exhaled back and hit his face, choking him and making him squint his eyes.

Kong Shiyu urged, "It's the same mission, but if you do it now, you can get an extra 20 million. It's definitely worth it. Xia Yu-kun, would you like to consider it? You have an hour to think about it."

Xia Yujie was lying on the fence, looking at the deep pit dug in the backyard downstairs. They were going to use this pit to grow lotus roots. If they planted them this year, they would be able to see a pond full of lotus flowers next summer.

I wasn't sure if I could plant it, and there was a high chance I wouldn't get the landlady's permission, which would put it on hold. What if...

Xia Yujie pursed his lips, holding the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and his movements moved as he spoke. He said, "No need to think about it anymore. I happen to have time tonight. Where is the venue?"

"In a place in Fukushima..."

Hearing the location, Xia Yujie frowned subconsciously and said, "It's probably still an uninhabited area there."

Kong Shiyu didn't deny it, but reminded him, "So, you have to be more careful. After all, the curse spirit born from such an incident must be very powerful."

Geto Suguru did not deny this point. If the cursed spirit was not very powerful, batches of sorcerers would not have been unable to exorcise it.

"I understand. I'll be ready."

The location is somewhere in Fukushima, not too far from Tokyo. It is night now, and Geto Suguru does not need to take a car to go there. Relying on the curse spirit, he can reach his destination faster.

After getting dressed and habitually carrying his backpack, he passed by the living room and looked at the dinner on the table which had not been cleared away yet. Geto Suguru wondered whether he should tell Gojo Satoru.

Thinking that Gojo Satoru might be doing something important right now, Geto Suguru dismissed the idea again. He didn't want to disturb Gojo Satoru with such trivial matters.

"Get rid of them quickly and clean up after you come back."

The night outside was as dark as ink. Tonight, there was no moon in the sky, so the stars appeared particularly clear and bright.

Geto Xiayou looked back at the locked door, pondered for a moment, and jumped onto the back of the manta ray curse spirit.

Geto Suguru quietly landed in an officially designated uninhabited area somewhere near the sea of Fukushima.

This place is very close to the seaside. Standing on the cracked mudflats, you can still hear the sound of the tide.

There was no moon or lights, it was pitch black.

Xia Yujie turned on the location on his mobile phone and slowly walked towards the unknown place according to the location that Kong Shiyu said.

Kong Shiyu only said that it was because of the resentment and fear of the people who lived here in the past that the curse spirit was transformed. The curse spirit has been in this area and has never left. As for where it is exactly, the sorcerer needs to find it himself.

Geto Xiayou released the lantern fish curse spirit to light his way and walked on the cracked mudflats of varying depths. Everywhere he looked was still a scene of devastation.

Seven years have passed, and this place is still barren. Even though they claim to be managing it, the results are far from what was expected.

The place is really too big, but as long as he lowers his tent, the things hiding in this desolate land will appear one after another, and the one he is looking for is the strongest one.

Just as Geto Suguru was about to lower the tent, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

His right foot seemed to step on something, and when he looked down, he was surprised to find that it seemed to be the center of a formation.

As he took a step, a bright spell was centered on the point he stepped on and moved rapidly and rhythmically around it, like a spark that set the prairie on fire.

Above the head, the tent was lowered at this time. Once the tent with special effects was lowered, the original darkness suddenly turned into a clear and bright day.

The lantern fish lost its function and hid in Geto Suguru's body. At this point, no matter how stupid Geto Suguru was, he should have realized that this time his mission was not to exorcise the cursed spirit, but someone wanted to "exorcise" him.

[Does Kong Shiyu know about this? ]

This was the first question that popped into his mind, and even Geto Suguru himself found it funny.

What’s the point of talking about this now?

What he needs to be cautious about is the present.

“Pah-pah-pah~”

There were sporadic clapping sounds behind him, and Xia Yujie turned around quickly. When he saw the face of the person opposite him clearly, he was obviously stunned.

He didn't know this woman, but he knew the scar left by the suture on her forehead.

He had clearly seen the same scar in Gojo Satoru's memory. At that time, such a scar appeared on his own body while it was controlled by the noose. So...

Xia Yujie smiled and asked, "Should I call you Itadori Kaori or Nozomi?"

Nozomi was also visibly stunned. He seemed a little confused about Geto Suguru. He asked softly, "Do you... know who I am?"
