The strongest scum after me

Xia Youjie gave her a bow tie.

It is pure white, and the gold thread is woven in finely. It is very beautiful under the sunlight, and it complements her light golden hair. It's like a real butterfly resting on the tip of her hair.

Shimizu Sakura was very happy, and acted like a baby to him: "How did Jie know that I want this bow tie?"

"The last time I went to Yokohama, you should look at it more." Xia Youjie looked down at her, and there seemed to be a sly smile in the corners of his slightly raised eyes, "Do you like it?"

"Yeah! I like it so much!"

Shimizu Sakura didn't expect that he would remember it for so long just by looking at the bow tie that she didn't even mention.

"Obviously it's a mission, I said, why did Jie make a special trip... So it was to buy you a hair tie."

Someone let out a dissatisfied complaint.

Shimizu Sakura ignored him: "Hmph, you are just jealous."

"Jealous?!" Gojo Satoru opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "You know, I would be jealous of someone buying you a hair tie?!"

"I don't care, you are just jealous, a little bit!"

Jia Ruozi smiled: "You are both sophomores in high school, why are you two still as childish as children?"

Two full years have passed since Shimizu Sakura entered the magic school, and many things have happened in these two years.For example, Shimizu Sakura originally hoped that Xia Youjie would unite with her to deal with the big villain Gojo Satoru when she returned to school, but what she didn't expect was that Xia Youjie and Gojo Satoru unexpectedly got together. became best friends.According to Xia Youjie's words, "they have a tacit understanding", Gojo Satoru believes that "Jie and I are the strongest", and Jia Ruozi said that scumbags can of course play with scumbags, and comforted Shimizu Sakura to think about it, It is impossible for her to abandon this boyfriend just because Jie and Wujo Satoru are playing together.

Shimizu Sakura dejectedly said: "You're right...but I disagree with one thing! Jie is not a scum, he is much better than that big villain Gojo Satoru!"

"Well." Jia Ruozi lit a cigarette skillfully, "I think they are quite similar in essence, otherwise they wouldn't be able to play together... Tell me, what do you think is the difference between these two?"

"Jie is much gentler than him! And Jie is very responsible, unlike Gojo Satoru who makes fun of teasing me all day long."

"It's just a superficial appearance. Your boyfriend's filter is too big." Ironi said with a smile, "But I don't understand, why do you hate Wujo-kun so much?"

"You might as well ask him why he hates me so much! He's happy when I'm not happy..." Speaking of this, Shimizu Sakura became angry, "You didn't see the expression on his face when he first knew that Jie and I were a couple—" —As if struck by lightning! Is it such an exaggeration?! Isn’t it a matter of course that ‘I am Jie’s girlfriend’! He is only Jie’s friend, so who has the right to be picky! Jie and I are a match made in heaven, okay?”

Jia Ruzi let out a chuckle: "Sakura, it's not that Gojo-kun is exaggerating, it's because you don't understand."

After leaving a sentence with unclear meaning, she changed the subject nonchalantly and never mentioned it again.

Shimizu Sakura didn't take her last words to heart. For her, she just spent two years demonstrating a truth—that is, she and Gojo Satoru will never be friends, and if they can maintain their classmate friendship, they will be fine without fighting. It's amazing.Not to mention that they got off to a bad start when they first met. In the past two years, Gojo Satoru has been trying to annoy her in various ways. The two of them knocked down the buildings in the teaching area and dormitory area several times. Chu wished he could put up a sign declaring "Gojo Satoru and Kiyomizu Sakura are not allowed to enter", even Teacher Ye Moth changed from having blue veins on his forehead to being calm and composed now - what's the use of being angry?Don't think that you can relax at home if you are out of breath. The two culprits who came to visit him may have a disagreement and give him a "family demolition gift package" during the visit.

However, although she knew that Gojo Satoru was the future head of the Gojo family, in fact, Shimizu Sakura always felt that he didn't look like a child raised by the Yusan family.

The magic world has been developed since ancient times. Since magicians are largely related to blood inheritance, sometimes the older the magic family is, the easier it is for powerful magicians to appear.The word ancient is often associated with feudal rigidity. The Yusan family has a strict hierarchy and strict rules. Even today, the ancient system of wives and concubines still exists, which is ridiculous and cruel.

"Like a rotten orange, these guys exude a rotten atmosphere from the inside out. The most absurd thing is that such a rotten high-level executive controls 90.00% of the resources and absolute power of the magic world. right."

Shimizu Sakura couldn't forget Gojo Satoru's contemptuous tone when he talked about this matter, he was hardly like the usual idle boy.

It's really strange, the people that can be cultivated by such a feudal and rigid family should be the kind of guys who open their mouths and keep their mouths closed, selfish and self-interested, right?

But Gotjo Satoru is clearly a person who has nothing to do with following the rules. He acts recklessly and as he pleases, freely like a seabird growing under the blue sky. Shadows and darkness can never catch up with the seabird's wings that rise and fall when circling.

"It sounds like you are disgusted with the high-level people in the magic world?"

Shimizu Sakura said.

With one leg resting on an empty chair, he lazily supported his head and said, "It's not just disgust. Maybe you think that I am from the Yusan family and I will naturally think from their standpoint. It's understandable to think so... …but the truth is, I'm sick of everything at the top, terribly sick of it."

It sounded like there were a lot of stories behind it, but Gojo Satoru didn't want to talk about it in depth, and Shimizu Sakura restrained her curiosity and didn't continue to ask.But this conversation changed a little bit Gojo Satoru's impression in her heart. Shimizu Sakura didn't like the group of rotten oranges in the upper echelons of the magic world. As he said, even 800 meters away couldn't hide the decayed and disgusting smell.The so-called enemy of an enemy is a friend. Since Gojo Satoru also hates those high-level officials, she decided to ignore him for the time being. They can unite and fight against each other.

"...It's really tiring to worry about the weak ones."

Gojo Satoru was indifferent.

Xia Youjie said lightly: "[Survival of the weak] is the proper form of society. The so-called helping the weak and restraining the strong, listen carefully and realize that spells exist to protect non-magicians."

"Is that the right theory?" Gojo Satoru sneered, "I hate right theory the most."

"……what?"

"Isn't it a sign of a weak person to impose reasons and responsibilities on spells? Don't always speak so vigorously from your own standpoint?" ①

There seemed to be a faint smell of gunpowder spreading in the classroom. Seeing that the two of them were about to start a fight if they disagreed, Kabuki slipped away before the conflict with foresight, leaving Shimizu Sakura alone to face the scene in front of her.

But she wasn't too busy mediating, and she couldn't help being distracted.

Gojo Satoru thinks it is troublesome to take care of the weak, while Xia Youjie thinks that he should "help the weak", perhaps because he once stood on the standpoint of the "weak", so he can understand the feelings of the "weak", and said without any personal affection Shimizu Sakura naturally agrees with Xia Youjie's ideas, and what she likes is his gentleness towards the weak.

But at the same time, she also felt that what Gojo Satoru said was not unreasonable-do spells exist to protect non-magicians?Or is this imposing reason and responsibility on the spell?

She is not sure.

In her naive mind, spells were just spells.Some people use it to exorcise curse spirits, so they become cursers representing protection, and some people use it to destroy wantonly, so they become cursers representing evil.Everything seems to have two sides, and it doesn't seem fair to the spell itself to say that it represents something.

【Jie believes in this so much, what if he finds out later... that's not the case? 】

She was still too young to comprehend the true meaning of it, but a vague idea emerged, and a trace of cold and uneasy electric current passed through her body.

"There is a task." The homeroom teacher, Noctua, pushed the door open and entered. He supported the podium with both hands, with a dignified expression, "Wu, Jie, [Master Tian Yuan] will send you to complete it by name."

"Escort [Astroplasma]—"

"And obliterate it."

The true identity of [Master Tian Yuan] has been unable to be verified, and it seems that no one has seen its true face.However, it plays an important role in the world of conjuration. It is present in barrier protection and mission execution.

[Tianyuan] possesses [immortality] technique, but it is not immune to aging. When it accumulates to a certain degree of aging, the technique will try to transform it and turn it into a higher-dimensional existence. In this case The [Tian Yuan] will no longer have "human consciousness", and may even evolve into an enemy of human beings, bringing catastrophe.In order to prevent this from happening, every 500 years, qualified human [star plasma body] will be assimilated with it, thereby resetting the sphere. (②)

"...What about the [star plasma]?" After listening to the teacher's explanation, Shimizu Sakura asked, "After the assimilation, what will happen to that [star plasma] girl...?"

Noctua was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, "I will completely lose my self-awareness."

"It's so polite." Wujo Wu curled his lips, "In short, he will die, right?"

There was a moment of silence in the classroom.

No matter how nice the description was, no matter how noble the reason was, it could not conceal the essence of this mission, which was to send a girl of the same age as them to die.

"..."

Shimizu Sakura didn't speak any more.

Only Xia Youjie and Wujo Satoru were sent to carry out this mission, and the time was urgent, perhaps seeing that she was not in a good mood, Xia Youjie was still making her laugh before leaving.

But Shimizu Sakura didn't smile, she just took a step forward and hugged him, putting her head close to the boy's arms.

His hand rested lightly on her hair.

"Sakura doesn't want me to perform this task."

She didn't answer, but whispered in a confused voice: "That girl seems to be a little younger than me."

"It can't be helped," he said. "She's [the astral body]."

Shimizu Sakura understood his unfinished words.

[Astroplasma] is born to die.

She was born to die.

It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this.

she thinks.

The end of all life is death, but no one should be born to die.

Not even having a chance to live for myself, that's too... sad, isn't it?

[Master Tianyuan] keeps sacrificing innocent people to prolong his own life, because he is afraid of evolving into an enemy of mankind.But if he was really afraid of causing a catastrophe, why didn't he simply choose to end his life and hand over the future of the magic world to young people?

【It should simply choose death, it shouldn't be so greedy and nostalgic for the world. 】

[It has lived long enough. 】

[It has lived... long enough. 】

The cool and fine raindrops fell on her cheeks, Shimizu Sakura was slightly taken aback, recovered from her thoughts, and shivered uncontrollably when she woke up.

What was she thinking just now?

Of course she sympathizes with the [star plasma body] and wants to save her, but even if she is allowed to come, she will choose a gentle compromise, how could it be...

Do you want [Master Tian Yuan] to die so decisively?

She has always been gentle and kind enough to avoid ant nests when passing by. She is too gentle and even has choice phobia. Many important decisions in life require Xia Youjie to push her gently from behind to make up her mind.

She was confused and afraid of how she could have such a cold and cruel black and white thinking mode, even if it was only for a short moment, it made her shudder.

Leaning in his arms, she trembled slightly.

The boy with the ball head seemed to have misunderstood that she was sad about the fate of the [astral body], and he held her hand slightly tighter. He said, "...I will ask her."

"……what?"

"Before obliterating her existence, I will ask [the astral body] if she is willing to sacrifice herself. If she is willing, respect her choice."

"...What if she doesn't want to?"

"And respect her choice."

His voice is low and firm.

"That might... mean being an enemy of [Lord Tian Yuan]."

"Is Sakura scared?"

She shook her head: "Not afraid."

He smiled softly, and put his hand through the broken hair beside her ear.

"Then I'm not afraid either."
