II: Lily of the Valley
Chapter 98: White Tonight
Gorillas have invaded Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

***

Tokyo's climate was a typical monsoon climate. After the rainy season, the temperature rose crazily. The end of July to August was the sunniest time in the entire summer.

This was the conclusion reached by Yayoi after returning to Tokyo for more than ten years. Even in a leafy suburb, the chirping of cicadas hidden among the rich green shades was so loud.

In the ancient and dense forest, huge ancient trees rose from the ground. The rich green color fragments the sky. After being filtered through layers, the bright sunlight hit the neat tiled ground mottledly.

The temperature today reached thirty-six degrees Celsius.

She was not very surprised. The weather forecast last night told her that the temperature would rise sharply today. From the end of July to August, if her memory was correct, the temperature in Tokyo during this period would reach its highest peak of the year.

The weather forecast came from the old-fashioned radio she dug out of a corner last night.

In 2018, it was no longer fashionable to rely on the radio to listen to the weather forecast. In comparison, smartphone apps were more convenient and popular.

But many times, people have a different feeling for old things.

She also couldn't figure out why she took this old thing with her when packing her things. Maybe she wanted to know if the radio was broken. After all, considering her age, this small radio was several years older than Yuji.

Yayoi took out the battery from the drawer, stretched out the antenna, and pressed the switch. Noisy noises started to sound. Yayoi tuned to the appropriate channel. The soft and smooth voice of the weather forecast anchor came from the old-fashioned radio. Maybe it's because of his age, but there's also a rustling noise mixed in with it.

When Satoru walked out of the bathroom with a towel on his head, he saw Yayoi sitting on the smooth floor under the bed playing with the radio with a towel on her head. Her legs were bent, and her loose pajamas made her figure become thinner under the clothes, revealing her white skin. The flowery thighs and slender calves, the red hair that no longer dripped, slid down the shoulders and dropped to the waist, making the skin whiter and more delicate, and the skin that was soaked by water vapor was still glowing with a light red.

"A tape recorder?" He saw the old tape recorder in Yayoi's hand.

Satoru sat on the tatami next to Yayoi. The soft towel on his head was pulled off and hung around his neck. His hair, which had been soaked by water, hung down meekly, with water droplets dripping from the ends of the hair, dripping down the towel around the neck. Taking advantage of his long hands and feet, he swiftly pulled the person into his arms. He pressed his chin against the top of Yayoi's wet hair and rubbed it twice.

The radio continued to broadcast tomorrow's weather forecast, the steady voice mixed with rustling noises.

Yayoi touched the faded shell of the radio. The radio was as flat as a square box. There were a few cracks hanging on one corner. She vaguely remembered that they were caused by knocking it from the table to the ground. When she picked it up, she found that there were more cracks on it. There were a few cracks, but fortunately only the exterior was damaged, while the internal wiring and electrical panels were not affected.

"It's getting older."

The radio was broadcasting the weather forecast for the next day. Yayoi changed several channels and finally stopped at a live report of a football match. The commentator's generous explanation was mixed with noise, which resounded in the room.

"An older radio."

Satoru closed his eyes, put his arms around Yayoi's waist, and pressed his chin on the top of her hair. He was in a charging state. When he heard Yayoi's voice, his thin eyelids moved, "Did you bring it from home?"

Yayoi knew that by 'home' he meant her home in Saitama Prefecture.

"Brought here from Saitama Prefecture." Yayoi lowered her eyes and showed a shallow and imperceptible smile, "To be more precise, I brought it from Tokyo to Saitama Prefecture, then from Saitama Prefecture to Sendai, and then from Sendai back to Tokyo."

Yayoi felt the chin on the top of her hair rub twice and then stopped moving.

Satoru raised his eyelids, "Hey~ Yayoi used to live in Tokyo."

He vaguely remembered that Yayoi lived in Tokyo before moving to Saitama Prefecture to attend junior high school there, and then moved to Saitama Prefecture with her mother.

Because of the mission, Shoko went through the records about the Kawabata family in the high school's library more than ten years ago. He and Suguru used coercion and bribery to lure the assistant director and retrieve the files about Yayoi's family. Both parents were ordinary people. Haruna-san lived in a small town in Saitama Prefecture. When she was in elementary school, she was sent to Tokyo to live with Yayoi's grandfather. She left her hometown where she grew up for more than 20 years and never came back except for her grandfather's funeral until more than ten years ago.

"Yayoi's father is still here."

The tombstone standing in the sunshine pouring down from the spring branches appeared in his mind.

The initial reason for returning to her mother's hometown was because the husband and wife had a bad relationship and divorced. Then she realized that she didn't have much time left, so she returned to her hometown with her daughter to support her, and she had no intention of leaving again.

The hand holding the radio paused, Yayoi turned her head, raised her chin, and pulled out a graceful curve on the side of her neck, like a swan lifting its neck, and her red eyelashes were clearly visible.

"'Dad' is still here." Yayoi said, "I haven't seen 'dad' for a long time."

Satoru narrowed his eyes, his delicate eyelashes were as soft as pure white dove feathers, and there were shallow silhouettes under his eyes. He nuzzled the top of Yayoi's soft and moist hair again.

"Don't want to see him?" Satoru half-lidded his eyelashes and said intentionally or unintentionally.

Based on his understanding of Yayoi, if she wanted to see her father, she would never react like this.

"I don't want to." Yayoi said, "It's not necessary."

Surprisingly indifferent.

In fact, Yayoi's attitude towards things that could not be seen by her could be said to be indifferent. This was the unconscious arrogance in her bones.

Satoru smiled, and his wet hair swept across Yayoi's neck. The secreted water droplets fell into the wide collar, and there was a cold touch on the skin. Only then did Yayoi realize that this guy's hair was still dripping with water.

Yayoi turned around and pulled off the towel from Satoru's neck, covered his head with the towel, and asked him to sit down. The white cat sat on the tatami obediently, letting Yayoi's hands play with his head and wipe his hair. He made a comfortable purring sound.

The sorcerer's schedule was chaotic. In her free time when she had no tasks, Yayoi still liked to maintain a normal schedule. After drying her hair with a hair dryer, Yayoi looked at the white cat crawling onto her bed with smooth movements, her expression falling into deep confusion.

"Don't you have your own room?" Yayoi asked his soul.

"But it's so dark, I'm afraid of the dark." His pale blue eyes were covered with a thin mist of water, and the white cat lay pitifully on the bed, looking at her aggrievedly.

"You are a sorcerer."

People were afraid of the dark, partly because the world after nightfall was filled with a lot of unknowns, unknown natural phenomena, unknown creatures, and some supernatural phenomena, such as ghosts.

People who were afraid of the dark were likely to be afraid of ghosts.

But in this world, the person who should not be afraid of ghosts was now telling her that he was afraid of ghosts.

"It's so lonely sleeping alone." Most of his head was buried in the quilt, revealing a fluffy white top of hair, pitiful, like a lonely and pitiful big cat.

Yayoi: "..."

"I'm so sleepy." A very pitiful face appeared from the quilt, "Tomorrow I have to deal with a super boring old man, so I need enough time to rest."

Yayoi: "..."

Yayoi thought about Satoru's extremely poor sleep quality and short sleep time, and her conscience ached severely.

After the lights went out, a flood of darkness flooded into sight, the curtains were half-closed, the midnight chirping of insects continued, and the neatly cut moonlight hit the smooth floor.

The white cat with long legs and long hands pulled Yayoi's waist, his warm breath lingered in the quilt, and his heart beat rhythmically against the eardrums like a drum.

Yayoi looked at the familiar ceiling and thought that next time, she must let Satoru go back to his room to sleep. He was already a twenty-eight-year-old adult cat and must learn to sleep alone.

The super boring old man Satoru is talking about was Yoshinobu Gakuganji, the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High School. Satoru hated the rotten oranges the most. The bohemian Satoru Gojo couldn't deal with the conservative old man, and the stubborn old man couldn't stand the unruly Satoru Gojo.

Today was the meeting of the Goodwill Event. Before the start of the Goodwill Event, the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High went to Tokyo Jujutsu High to meet with Principal Yaga to discuss related matters.

He said he wanted to meet a boring old man, but Satoru's attitude was quite casual. He was still in the mood to lie down in bed in the morning and wished he could stay in bed, moaning and pulling on Yayoi.

Satoru didn't want to see the old man, and Yayoi didn't want to see the old man either. Although the principal of the Kyoto school would not cause trouble on the surface, even so, it was undeniable that the affairs of the juvenile detention center were planned by the higher-ups, and the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High happened to be one of the jujutsu society higher-ups. To them, killing Yuji was no different than removing a curse. If his words today have any meaning of this level, Yayoi was worried that she would not be able to help but beat the person.

"You don't have to go if you don't want to." Satoru said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, I'm the strongest."

Yayoi shook her head, super serious, "Then what if he bullies you?"

The white cat sat up straight, straightened his back, held his head high, and was full of energy. He looked like 'I was super strong'. "Don't worry, I am the strongest, and the strongest will not be bullied."

"I'd better go with you." Yayoi thought for a moment and spoke again, "I can beat people who you can't beat."

"I didn't participate in the sorcerer rating." She added at the end, "I can hit him, but he can't hit me. I'm still an ordinary person. If a sorcerer hurts ordinary people, he will be sentenced."

Satoru: "..."
He really didn't expect this.

Satoru looked at the honest-looking redhead with complicated eyes, and his mood was also complicated. Why didn't he notice it before? The little redhead was a hidden natural black, so dark that he didn't even know it.

"Get up." Yayoi looked serious.

"No, just wait a little longer..." Satoru fell down between the soft quilts again. After moving twice, he became as paralyzed as a salted fish.

Satoru, who had a very casual attitude, went to the basement to teach Yuji taijutsu as usual and how to control cursed energy. According to Satoru, Yuji's reaction nerves were very good, and his reaction ability was better than Maki. However, the output of cursed energy was a beat slower than the reaction nerve. This was a bad habit, but it could not be said to be useless. Based on the fact that the cursed energy was half a beat slower, the "Divergent Fist" was developed, which used fists to strike. After the attack, the cursed energy attack followed closely, which was regarded as a double attack.

Yayoi went to do special physical training for four first and second-graders and a panda.

The loud chirping of cicadas shook the green leaves off the branches, and the sunlight pouring down from the branches created neat spots of light on the floor tiles.

The two first-year students went to run errands for the second-year seniors. Panda was a little worried. Today was not only a meeting between the principals of the two schools, but also a good time for two well-known troublemakers from the Kyoto school to find trouble.

"Todo and Mai." The black and white round man stretched out his small claws and scratched his furry chin.

Principal Gakuganji who came with them would not make things public. He had his own position, but this was not necessarily the case for these two young and energetic teenagers. The meeting had nothing to do with the students. The fights between students were also a matter between students. The students would basically not interfere in the private affairs of the students.

"Mai?" Yayoi accurately caught the name that was similar to Maki.

Maki pursed her lips and said, "My younger sister."

"Maki is an older sister." Unexpectedly, Yayoi's smile was particularly gentle, and the golden foil-like sunlight fell into her slightly narrowed amber eyes.

"What's so surprising about this?" Maki pouted, but couldn't help scratching her face with her hands. The always cool girl looked a little shy.

"I also have an older sister." Yayoi unconsciously stretched out her fingers and twisted them around a strand of her red hair. The red hair twirled and entwined around her white fingers.

"Huh? Doesn't Yayoi only have one younger brother, Itadori?" Pangda couldn't help but speak. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he shouldn't say this. Yuji was already 'dead'.

Maki took the stick and poked Panda's soft butt, with crazy eyes indicating that he had said the wrong thing.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Panda, who knew he had said the wrong thing, clasped his hands together and apologized sincerely.

Yayoi didn't realize the reason for Panda's apology and subconsciously said it didn't matter.

She knew that Mai was Maki's sister, but she didn't know who Todo was or what he looked like.

After a brief chat with the second-grader, her phone rang. After receiving Satoru's message, she separated from the second-grader to find Satoru.

When passing by the canteen, Yayoi saw a sea urchin head flying out of the canteen from a distance.

Yayoi: ???

Yayoi recognized the sea urchin head as Megumi, who went to the canteen to run errands with Nobara, and then, a gorilla slowly walked out of the canteen.

Yayoi looked at Megumi with a bruise on his face, and then at the tall gorilla standing tall, and realized.

—The gorilla invaded Tokyo Jujutsu High School, and the gorilla who invaded Tokyo Jujutsu High School even beat up Megumin!

Yayoi: shocked.jpg
