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

"……Aha?"

Itadori stood opposite Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru, looking at the female corpse on the office floor and listening to what Gojo Satoru said to him. He was completely confused.

He clearly heard every word, but when they were put together, they became extremely obscure and difficult to understand.

With his eyes wide open, he stared blankly at everything in front of him. At this moment, Yuji didn't know who to focus his attention on.

It was the first time for him to come to the teachers' office here after arriving at the technical college, passing through the connecting bridge between the two buildings. He originally came here out of curiosity, but he didn't expect to be shocked when he saw it.

"Isn't she the one that the bad sorcerer transformed into using the Transfiguration Technique?"

Hearing this, Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru looked at each other.

"You're telling me, is she really my mother, and not a man transformed using magic?"

"Yourito..."

Yuji frowned. This sudden truth was completely different from what he had imagined. Not long ago, he had been severely beaten by this corpse. He still remembered the pain very clearly.

If he had known at that time that the corpse was really his mother, he would have taken a good look at her no matter what.

Watch how she speaks, watch her every move, watch the way she looks at herself...

Even though I know she is being controlled by someone else, my mother is still my mother, a moving mother, and she is completely different from the corpse lying here with its head needing to be sewn together to connect it to its neck.

He had no memory of his mother. When he grew up and reunited with his mother, his mother had already become a corpse a long time ago, a moving corpse controlled by others.

Such things are so rare, so rare that they seem like a story, but how can the truth be a story?

How bored must Gojo and Takeru be to make up stories about things like this and joke about themselves?

Seeing Yuji's distress, Geto couldn't bear it. He said softly, "Nozomi's brain has been removed and processed by Wu. The only person here is... your mother, Yuji Kaori."

Yuji listened to what Geto Suguru said and slowly squatted down.

Looking at the woman who had already lost her voice from such a close distance, the last time we met, she was still talking, laughing and moving, with fists so hard that they hurt so much.

"Teacher, don't worry about me. I'm fine. It's just that this happened so suddenly that I can't react."

Gojo Satoru couldn't tell whether what Yuji said was true. Personally, he didn't have that many emotions, and he might not have any deep feelings for his mother, whom he had only met once. He might even be so heartless that he didn't have any emotional fluctuations at all.

But there are very few people like him in this world, and Yuji, who is still a teenager, should not be like him.

"I'm really not too sad. After all, I have no memory of my mother. As far as I can remember, she was no longer at home. My grandfather told me that my mother died of illness. I didn't know whether it was true or not, but I never doubted what my grandfather said."

"Japanese knotweed classmate..."

Tiger Stick was squatting on the ground with his head lowered, his hands clenched into fists hanging at his sides.

He smiled and continued, "Really? In my mind, Mom was already dead. Seeing her now is like seeing her ashes. That's how it feels, right?"

“…” Geto Suguru didn’t know how to react.

"Teacher Xia Yu, you don't have to feel guilty about me. This is not your fault. The person who really hurt my mother was the villain who was parasitic in her brain, and Teacher Xia Yu helped us avenge this, didn't you?"

Whether Itadori really thought so, Geto Suguru was not sure. They asked Itadori how to deal with Itadori Kaori's body.

After thinking for a while, Yuji decided to cremate the body here and bring the ashes back to Miyagi.

He smiled and said, "Mom probably wants to go home too."

The soul returns to its homeland and rests in peace.

Who knows how many years from now her son will go there too.

The family happiness that you didn’t get in this life can only be continued after you get there. There is no other way.

Having to deal with two funerals in a row within a month, the other three people who were involved in the same incident expressed their most sincere sympathy to Yuji, but Yuji couldn't stand it and yelled at them not to look at him with such sympathy.

Kugisaki nodded in agreement. "If you don't have many memories, you really won't have many emotions. This is true even for your own mother. So, Yuji doesn't need to be too sad."

Yuji pursed his lips for a long time before he arrogantly retorted, "I'm not sad."

Junpei, who had never experienced the death of a loved one, didn't know how to comfort Yuji. He could only look at him worriedly and silently accompany Yuji.

Megumi Fushiguro told Kugisaki to stop talking, but Kugisaki didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

"I'm not wrong. The kinship between people isn't just based on blood, it's the result of nurturing relationships."

She thought of her own mother, the woman who abandoned Kugisaki to her grandmother when she was very young for her own freedom and happiness, and then went out alone to find happiness.

Having not spent much time with his mother, Kugisaki doesn't have many feelings for her. If he has to say what feelings he has, apart from the desire for maternal love, there is probably only that awkward dissatisfaction.

It is said that a mother is first and foremost a person with her own thoughts and the right to pursue personal happiness.

However, if a mother is not even responsible for the child she gives birth to, why would she give birth to a life into this world just on a whim?

As for the children’s human rights, who will speak up for them?

"Since you've never been together, there's no need to be sad about it. Yuji, just pretend you don't know and continue as before. Maybe you'll feel more relaxed. You're doing well, and that's what your family wants to see most."

Kugisaki is kind after all. Although her words of comfort to Itadori were unpleasant to hear, she used her utmost kindness to try to comfort the person who had no memory of Itadori at all.

Perhaps in her heart, all mothers love their children, except her mother.
