Only Gojo Satoru doesn't know

When Yuuki finally woke up, the battle was over.It was just a move in pursuit, that's all, that man Fuheshier died just like that.She didn't look at the corpse with a hole in its stomach, but slowly looked at the things in Gojo Satoru's arms.

That "thing" was Riko's body, and it was covered with a white cloth around the head. Under the white cloth was Riko's life, which Yuuki could not save anyway.

Yuuki, who managed to recover a little strength, lost all strength at that moment.She flung herself tremblingly into Gojo Satoru's arms, onto Riko's body.

Gojo Satoru's feet were steady, he didn't take half a step back, his gaze never left Yuuki's face when Yuki appeared.But Yuuki didn't even give him alms from the corner of her eye.

He didn't suffer a little bit from Riko's death, Yuuki noticed it.He wasn't angry at what happened to You Ji either, she should have noticed it too.

But even if he was discovered, he knew that his attitude was very hurtful, but he didn't feel any discomfort.Why is this so?Even he himself did not understand.

Could it be that when he broke through, at the moment when he grasped the core of the mantra, couldn't he even feel his emotions?

Looking at Yuuki's face covered in dust and blood, there was no fluctuation in his heart.If it was him in the usual way, even if he was in the usual way, he would be helpless against such You Ji, but his heart would definitely not be as indifferent as he is now.

Will Yuuki be sad because of his attitude?He actually felt that the answer didn't matter at this moment.

"How about...kill all the hired people." However, he still said so.Gojo Satoru refers to the Panxing Cult that hired Fuheshier, but in fact he thinks it would be the same to kill all the high-level people in the magic world.

"The me now, even if I kill them all, there should be no fluctuations." He lowered his head and brought his face closer to You Ji, and said to her calmly, "Let's go together."

But Yuuki still didn't look at him, she just looked at the corpse wrapped in white cloth, Riko's immature face appeared in her eyes through the white cloth.Tears slipped out of her eyes unconsciously, Yuuki's voice was weak and deep: "Kill them... Even if you do this, Riko won't come back."

"What's more, Riko...wouldn't want to see the world become chaotic because of her." Yuuki couldn't control her emotions any longer.Holding Riko and crying in Gojo Satoru's arms.

Tears drew traces on her dusty face, and Gojo Satoru's heart suddenly trembled violently. How long has he not seen Yuuki crying?How long has it been since you haven't seen sadness on Yuuki's face?

Why did he just feel that it doesn't matter even if Yuki is in pain?He obviously made an oath when he was young, vowed to become stronger, and to protect Yuki for the rest of his life.

How could he turn a blind eye to Yuuki's pain?

But Yuuki is the only one he wants to protect, and it's no big deal if only Riko dies.

It was at this time that he suddenly discovered that his heart was not without fluctuations in this matter.The reason he didn't feel pain was because... he was relieved.

After all, in order to fulfill Riko's wish, Yuuki will probably never leave the magic world again, right?She has no reason to leave.

That's great.

Fuheshier killed Riko with a bullet instead of a magic tool, it's really great, he sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"It's okay, Yuuki, I will... stay by your side forever." Gojo Satoru lowered his head and rested his chin on the top of Yuuki's furry head.At that moment, he couldn't help showing a bright smile.

Stay with me forever, Yuuki.He stroked Yuuki's hair and almost dropped Riko to hug her.But he didn't do that, Yuuki would be angry after all.

Throwing away Riko and so on, I can only think about it in my heart.

Yuuki trembled and wept, she hugged Riko tightly in Gojo Satoru's arms.Just hugged Riko.

……

After that, You Ji and the others returned to the high school with a failed mission. Except for Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie, no one knew that she was going to go away with Riko.

Riko's funeral couldn't be simpler. Kuroi's whereabouts are unknown and he seems to be dead.The last people who came to the funeral were only one or two of Riko's classmates besides them.

At the deserted funeral, the well-dressed children were crying, and Yuki was dressed in white, knowing that they would not be sad for too long.

She put a lot of flowers beside Lizi's coffin, but what flower does Lizi like?What song does she like?The kimono she puts on for Riko, will Riko like that pattern?

After all, how much more does she know about Riko than strangers?

Those children must know more about Riko than she does.However, Yuuki knew that after the funeral, she was the only one who would still suffer from Riko's death.

Riko is only 14 years old, and she hasn't been able to live her life to the fullest, why does she have to sleep forever?Yuki is holding the photo of Riko, in the photo Riko is smiling carefree, not knowing the future, not worrying about the future.

"Why... everything is so beautiful." "I am very happy to be able to reunite with my sister at last." "..." Every word Riko said can still ring in my ears.

Obviously Lizi would laugh happily when she was at the beach, would tell her that the crabs in the sea are ugly, would pretend to name the shellfish she picked up, and would hug her and cry when she was sad...Obviously everything is close at hand.

Memories kept flashing, and all the things that made her feel happy when she recalled them now showed the color that made You Ji painful.

There will be no more lost things, You Ji knows very clearly that there will no longer be a rational child in her life.The desire to leave the magic world with my sister, now I have no choice but to die.

Yuuki gritted her teeth.

Gojo Satoru in a black suit was beside Yuuki, his eyes were uncertain, he didn't know what to say.

"Youki..." He tilted his head and thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and said to her, "If you want to cry, just cry."

Yuuki shook her head and covered her mouth tightly to keep herself from making a sound.

Gojo Satoru gently stepped forward to hug Yuuki, lowered his head, he smiled at an angle that Yuuki couldn't see, and softly hummed the nursery rhyme Yuki sang to him when he was young.

"Caged bird, caged bird~caged bird; when and when will it come out?~In that dawn night; the crane and the tortoise slipped~" No one could hear him humming.

The shock coming from Gojo Satoru's chest made Yuuki clutch the clothes on her chest with tears in her eyes.She hugged the photo of Riko and wept uncontrollably, for Riko, and for the happiness that disappeared without a trace before it even started.

At the end of crying, Yuuki fell into Gojo Satoru's arms, and was held tightly by him so that she didn't slip to the ground.

Xia Youjie looked at the two hugging each other not far away, and remained silent.

Riko... could have survived, as long as she survived the day of assimilation.But he and Satoru couldn't do anything, neither could they protect Riko as they said, nor could they give Yuuki the life she dreamed of.

He thought that with him and Wujo Wu, everything could be realized.

But the reality is so cruel, he firmly pressed his forehead, only felt that the flowers at Lizi's funeral seemed to mock his conceit.

I and Satoru... aren't we the strongest?

……

Before the funeral was over, Yuki strangely received an email from the head of the house.

"To: Yuuki,

Everything is irreparable, but it's not the worst.You must, must dispose of that child's body.Be sure to watch the family go through the treatment before staring at her cremation, you know, Yuuki?You must do this, you can't use human hands, you can't let others touch it, and you can't let others take Lizi's body away.Yuuki, don't go to the worst possible end.
