Chapter 187 Are You From Tokyo Too?
Itadori Wosuke told Su Ze a lot of things.
But he also knows very little about his daughter-in-law, Kaori Itadori.
He has always had a firm attitude that is almost "prejudiced", firmly believing that "that woman will definitely bring misfortune to his family."
If I were to use the words of Itadori Yasuke himself...
——Because "Itadori Kaori" gives people a feeling of chaos.
—not as lovable, disgusting…or indifferent as the rest of us.
——Kaori Itadori herself seems to exude an indescribable sense of abruptness and weirdness.
She clearly didn't do anything out of line, but her psychological discomfort could not be completely eliminated.
Yuji Itadori probably has no memory of her.
After all, the woman who was supposed to play the role of "mother" disappeared long before he could speak.
At that time, Su Ze just listened quietly to the old man's narration.
He didn't interrupt or ask any unnecessary questions. Only after Yuji Yasuke had finished speaking for a while and hadn't spoken for a long time would Su Ze ask the next question.
Su Ze did not tell Itadori Yasuke that his daughter-in-law was not "Itadori Kaori" at all.
The woman whose body could not rest in peace after her death is actually a poor person who suffered greatly.
There was no need for him to say so much, as those dusty past events would be buried in the dust of time.
From Itadori Yasuke, Su Ze also gained a better understanding of this family living in Sendai City beyond the archives.
——I even know some of Yuji Itadori’s preferences.
For example, he doesn’t dislike any food, and his favorites are donburi (Japanese rice bowl) and noodles…
For example, he seems to be in good physical condition.
——But when Su Ze learned that Yuji Itadori, a primary school student, could run as fast as Bolt in short-distance running, he was really surprised.
——The most important thing is that Yuji Itadori is not a sorcerer.
This is a bit beyond common sense.
All in all, no one else knew about this secret visit, especially the Noose.
Su Ze came here on the premise of being on guard against Him.
……
2016 October.
A village somewhere in the northeast corner of Honshu Island.
Su Ze can no longer remember the summer of Dayan clearly.
But in his impression, it didn’t seem as hot as in Japan…?
...Or is it because the air conditioner is on too much?
Su Ze stood on the narrow concrete road with his hands on his hips, his suit jacket draped over his arm, his sleeves rolled up, the top two buttons of his shirt undone, and one hand gently fanning his collar, hoping to provide some relief.
This is a township.
It’s even more backward than his hometown, Fengcheng District.
Since he came in, he has never seen a building higher than five stories.
It can be considered a proper "countryside" place.
There were bursts of cicada chirping coming from the big trees between the houses, and the sharp sound made Su Ze dizzy.
"...How come this place doesn't even have a street number?" Su Da looked into the distance and saw rows of low houses at the end of his field of vision and crooked electric poles running across the streets.
It’s terribly hot, really terribly hot!
...If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have made this trip so early in the day.
Chairman Su Ze, who had done the work himself, was dejected and muttered to himself.
"You are not from here."
Suddenly, a girl's crisp voice came from behind.
Su Ze was slightly startled and turned to look at her.
The girl carrying the brown bag was looking at herself with interest. There was a bit of heroic spirit between her eyebrows and eyes. She had short hair divided into a 3:7 ratio and wore a childish light-colored hairpin on her head.
Looks like a junior high school student.
Behind her, there was another girl with a ponytail, but she looked timid.
"--Are you from Tokyo too?" Before Su Ze could react, the girl continued to ask.
She looked up and stared at Su Ze, and asked in a clear voice with some excitement.
The girl behind her quickly pulled her arm, hinting at her offense.
"Xiao Wen, what are you doing--" The girl with short hair did not understand her friend's worries.
Although Su Ze was surprised at her cheerfulness and outgoingness for a moment, he soon returned to normal.
"Yes, I'm here to look for someone—"
He responded with a grin.
"Oh!" The cheerful girl became even more excited, and seemed to have more questions to ask.
"And..." Su Ze said with a smile, "Maybe Miss Kugisaki may help lead the way."
"Eh??"
Kugisaki Nobara was so surprised that she turned around and approached the girl behind her, covering her mouth and asking, "Xiao Wen, I didn't say my name just now, did I?"
Xiaowen, who was already extremely nervous, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, her black ponytail swinging up and down, and tiny beads of sweat appearing on her face.
"So... this guy--" Wild Rose looked suspicious and turned around quietly to look at Su Ze.
——This guy was holding a suit jacket in one hand, with his shirt sleeves rolled up high, two buttons at the collar open, and straight trousers and Martin boots on his lower body.
...He looks gentle, elegant and handsome.
"I'm not a suspicious person, and Miss Kugisaki's whisper was too loud--" Su Ze didn't care about the suspicion and anxiety of adolescent girls.
"You are a talent scout from Tokyo, right? You came all the way here after learning about my beauty—"
Miss Kugisaki spread her legs, put her hands on her hips and pointed at Suze.
She was certain that she had found the absolute truth.
The bag hanging on the wrist slid down the slope of the arm to the chest.
Xiaowen was sweating profusely, gesticulating and seemed to want to say something.
Su Ze blinked, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"...Pfft. The information didn't say that Miss Kugisaki is such an interesting girl."
He tilted his head and said with a smile.
A warm and jade-like feeling comes towards you.
Miss Kugisaki has lived in the village for thirteen years. This was the first time she saw such a scene and she was stunned for a moment.
——As expected, Tokyo is different!
The next second she returned to normal, and at the same time, she became more determined.
She clenched her fist and cheered herself up secretly.
Xiaowen still hasn't reacted.
Su Ze naturally noticed the girls' abnormality. He sighed softly and said, "Could you please lead the way, Miss Kugisaki? I want to talk to your grandmother about something—"
“It’s about your future.”
He added.
"You are indeed a scout—" Upon hearing this, Ms. Kugisaki became even more certain of an impossible development.
On the way to Kugisaki's house, she asked Su Ze all kinds of questions, trying to get to the bottom of almost everything that interested her.
Suze's answers were very detailed, and Miss Kugisaki did not miss any of the places she was interested in. He even mentioned some more relevant experiences, which opened the eyes of this country girl.
"Ms. Kugisaki, I just noticed - what happened to the owner of this house?"
Su Ze pointed to the gorgeous villa next to him - it was very different from the monotonous houses here. However, the firmly locked gate and the courtyard full of waste proved that no one had lived here for a long time.
"Ah, here——" Miss Kugisaki turned her head to look over there, and then seemed to be lost for a rare moment.
Su Ze caught the subtle changes in her expression.
She looked at the scene in front of her and said calmly: "This is where Sister Saori lived—"
She paused, then smiled casually, "She is also from Tokyo~"
