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

After returning to Tokyo from Kyoto, the bonsai season had not yet ended.

Geto Xiayou suggested inviting students to his home for a barbecue and transplanting the cherry trees and camellia trees from Panxing Sect.

Speaking of this, Gojo Satoru suddenly remembered that they had been busy with other things during this period. Summer would be over in two months, but the lotus roots had not yet been planted in the backyard pond, and the cherry trees and camellias had not yet been planted in the holes dug in advance.

"Well... I haven't told the landlady about this yet. Tomorrow, after I've discussed this with her, we'll start construction the day after tomorrow." Gojo Satoru said apologetically while leaning on the balcony handrail and looking at the backyard.

But Xia Yujie said: "Let's start the work tomorrow."

Gojo Satoru had no objection. "Okay, I'll go find the landlady later. If she doesn't agree, I'll lie on the ground and roll around until she agrees to get up again."

This was funny. While laughing, Geto Suguru pulled Gojo Satoru's hand over and put a key in his palm.

Gojo Satoru didn't quite understand what Geto Suguru meant. He picked up the key and looked at it left and right, and was even more confused.

"Isn't this the key to our room?"

Xia Yujie smiled and looked into his blue eyes and shook his head. He said softly, "It's the key to the main door downstairs."

"The key...downstairs?" This time, Gojo Satoru was even more confused.

Geto Suguru didn't keep the secret any longer. He leaned close to Gojo Satoru's face, and a smile spread from his lips.

He said, "Before I went to Kyoto, I bought this house from the landlady. Now, this house belongs to us. I'm giving you the key. This means I'm giving you this house and the huge yard. This is a gift from Wu to me, to live with me."

Gojo Satoru stared at the slightly rusty key, unable to tell what he was feeling at the moment.

For people in love, owning a house is like having one foot in marriage.

Having a place that can shelter from the wind and rain means having a common fortress, which is their home for both of them.

For him, who had more financial resources, such a place should have been prepared by him, but in the end, it was Geto Suguru who prepared it.

"This house is so big, with such spacious front and back yards, it must have cost a lot of money. Where did Jie get all this money? Did he use the money from the Panxing Sect?"

The money of Panxing Sect belongs to the common property of Geto Suguru and his family members, right? Can they spend it at will?

"No," Xia Yujie shook his head, "I didn't use the money from the Panxing Sect. I earned this money by taking the mission, the one that destroyed the noose."

"Huh?" Gojo Satoru didn't understand what this meant. Why did Geto Suguru get money for killing Nozomi?

How do I say this?

This is a troublesome yet simple thing.

"I got the money from Kong Shiyu."

The name Kong Shiyu was not unfamiliar to Gojo Satoru. Although they had never had direct contact, he had heard of it.

Although he knew that the man was doing some shady work, Gojo Satoru was in no mood to pay attention to such a person. If the other party didn't get close to him, he had no interest in killing him.

"The intermediary who always walks between the curse caster and the client?"

"Yeah," Geto Summer Oil nodded.

"Why are you two..."

"I'm an old acquaintance of his. That was after I left the technical college, but we weren't close."

Gojo Satoru pouted his lips high. He felt uncomfortable when he thought that Geto Suguru had had dealings with such a person.

He also knew that he was being unreasonable, but people who are spoiled will always be unreasonable.

"After my rebirth, I contacted him to raise money to buy you this pair of earrings. I asked him to introduce me to a mission that could quickly earn me a considerable amount of money. This time, he contacted me when we were in Kagoshima. The mission had been delayed until recently."

At that time, Gojo Satoru went to Miyagi for the matter of Itadori, while Geto Suguru took on the mission as agreed before and went to Fukushima alone, which is located between Tokyo and Miyagi.

There, he did not find a curse, but instead saw a noose waiting for his prey.

"I only started to doubt this the moment I met Nosuo. Logically, Kong Shiyu and I were the only ones who knew I'd taken on this mission. Nosuo wouldn't have set up the array's core and barrier on that mudflat ahead of time, unless he knew I'd be there."

Gojo Satoru suppressed his annoyance and nodded silently. "He was in Miyagi a few hours ago, and soon appeared in Fukushima. He was even able to set up the formation's center before you arrived, waiting only for you to enter to trigger the barrier. This wouldn't be possible without knowing your actions in advance. Besides, the location is also very interesting."

"How to say?"

With a smile, Gojo Satoru threw the key up, and then used his own magic gravity to control it between his hands, floating it in front of him.

"This hand is Tokyo, and this hand is Miyagi. Fukushima is roughly halfway between these two places, which is where the key is. We know that Noso's main area of activity is Tokyo, so why would he choose Fukushima to deal with you? Because he was in Miyagi at the time."

"...He caught the tiger grass in Miyagi..."

"Now it seems that the reason he lured Yuji back to Miyagi to attack him was most likely to lure Satoru there and give you something to do. If something happened to one of your students, you would definitely drop what you were doing and rush over to deal with it. You wouldn't stay in Tokyo with me, you would definitely go to Miyagi."

Geto Xiayou thought of the last mission he received from Kong Shiyu. At that time, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. If Gojo Satoru had not rushed back in time, the grass on his grave would have been six feet high.

If that time was also Nozomi's doing, then this time, he must prevent it from happening again and completely drag Gojo Satoru somewhere else so that he has no time to come back and ruin the plan.
