Chapter 507: Watching Fireworks
2018年12月31日，夜晚10:00分，距离跨年夜还有两个小时。
In Hokkaido, on the top of Mount Yotei, which is called 'Little Mount Fuji' by tourists because of its height and shape, there are several people sitting next to a bonfire, with different expressions, but none of them look happy.
Fushiguro was sitting alone, facing the moonlight in the sky, drinking from a pot of wine.
The two little monsters, whose aliases were Ogawa Naoko and Sato Sakura, chose to ask to follow despite their trembling fear. They huddled up next to Suzuki Yuri.
"Because it's Lord Natsume's request." Although they were still very scared, they said, "Miss Suzuki is very important to Lord Natsume, so even if she dies, we can't leave her alone and run away!"
"Well...it's not as tragic as going to hell together." Xia Youjie said helplessly.
After all, they are not demons.
And on the right, next to the sleeping girl, the one with flapping wings and jumping back and forth is the god who hates them very much and repeatedly acts as an "obstacle" in the story.
The reason why they ran to the top of the mountain was that
“I haven’t seen any fireworks yet!”
Two hours ago, Suzuki Yuri, who was lying in Gojo Satoru's arms and fell into a coma due to a high fever, suddenly grabbed the cloth on his chest and uttered these words incoherently.
"what?"
"I must see the fireworks on the top of the mountain at twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve. Otherwise, my trip to Hokkaido would be in vain!!"
"Dan-me." Xia Youjie leaned over and smiled at her, but his tone was very firm. He patiently persuaded, "Although watching the fireworks is important, Lily-chan, you are still a patient now."
"It's more important to go back to the hotel and rest. We can see the fireworks from the balcony over there."
"No, no, I want to go to the top of the mountain to see."
“It’s too cold at the top of the mountain.”
"If you don't let me go, I will turn you all into pets!" she said, "Into cats, dogs, foxes, piglets, pandas, red pandas..."
The words came out of her mouth without thinking. Suzuki Yuri nestled in Gojo Satoru's arms, and jerked around like a piglet, leaving several marks on her cheeks. Her hair was messed up and fell down her shoulders back into Geto's hands.
"......." As the words fell, around her, except for the monster who didn't know the truth, the three people who still retained their memories stood stiffly in place like iron nails.
It was as if their time had also stopped.
Suzuki Yuri closed her eyes tightly, showing no sign of waking up, as if what she just said was just a mumbling in her sleep.
She...remembered?
Fushiguro Shige's green eyes lit up slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he was blocked.
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Shen glanced at their complicated expressions and said calmly, "This is not the first time she has been in this situation."
"You mean, she used to do this often, saying things that she could only say when she retained her memory?" Gojo Satoru asked.
"Shouldn't you be familiar with this?"
Gojo Satoru: "?"
“In short, don’t let your wishful thinking get you anywhere.” “He” said in a tone that sounded a bit compassionate, but in fact was gloating. “This is the soul’s self-repair process that is activated under pressure. Some memory fragments will be pieced together and re-enter the subconscious.”
"But when she wakes up, she will immediately forget all these things."
"So," He said coldly, "you are just a few strangers to her."
"Then...when will she be able to remember the past."
Xia Youjie pulled the button on his throat and felt it was a bit tight, so he simply ripped it off and then asked, "Excuse me, do you know this?"
"Ah, about that." God replied calmly, "It may be tomorrow, or it may be that I won't remember it in this lifetime. Who knows?"
"But there's no need for her to think of you," He said, "it's all in the past anyway."
"After all, she has been reborn. Her past encounters with you are all in the past. You are the only ones who are obsessed with her. What does it have to do with her?"
Gojo Satoru lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms. Perhaps he was still thinking about the fireworks and kept muttering to himself over and over again.
"We didn't say that she had to remember it," he said calmly, "We just held on to that expectation."
Because it is a very precious memory, because it is a very precious person, because it is a memory that sparkles like a pearl, I don’t want it to be hidden like this.
Coming to a different world alone, he is inexplicably suspected and excluded, endures the pain of being forgotten by the whole world, and has to save people from danger time and time again.
When I see old friends, I have to calm down and talk to them as if I were meeting them for the first time.
"At the beginning, she ran towards us with the same feeling." He said, "So, even if you hate us, this bond is not something that can be easily abandoned."
"Even if this is her own wish?"
"She said it was her own wish." Gojo Satoru chuckled, "Kamisa, you should know how much she fears being alone."
"If she really wakes up one day and finds that it is what she wanted, she will probably cry secretly in a corner by herself."
"......." The other party was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "In half an hour, her fever will subside, and then she will wake up."
"There is a mountain in Hokkaido. Every year on New Year's Eve, the mountain organizes a fireworks show. I know there is a spot on the top of the mountain with a great view. With your walking speed, it will probably take less than half an hour to get there."
"So, what you mean is..."
The god sighed and said, "Take her to see the fireworks."
"Her parents are already blaming themselves for not being able to come back in time for the New Year. If they knew their daughter would faint on this day and not even be able to see the fireworks, they would probably commit seppuku."
"But her body..." Xia Yujie paused and said, "It should be very cold in the mountains."
"Hey, come on." The bird god turned his head and said with disdain, "You top-level sorcerers can't even solve this problem. Why did I call you here?"
"If the mountain is cold, just warm it up. You can't even do that."
Then, as a huge bonfire was built, all the snow near the mountain began to melt.
Except for the area in the center, it got colder around there.
