The Story of Gojo Satoru's Youth 19

Title: Eriri’s Memories

Returning to the past a little.

It’s the end of class at Sobu High School.

Eriri looked a bit lethargic, and she kept thinking about Gojo Satoru.

She and Satoru met when they were young. At that time, Tomoya completely ignored her concerns and kept shouting in class to play a new work together.

Back then, Eriri finally made friends and had her own social circle. She didn’t want others to know that she was interested in otaku culture.

After all, in Japan, those who like otaku culture during their school years are easily ostracized by others and thus isolated from the entire group.

Eriri looked at Tomoya in front of her, who was holding her hand tightly and holding something that seemed to be the latest 2D game.

“Eriri, this is the latest love game. I’ve seen it before, it’s truly a masterpiece! Eriri, you have to try it!”

Tomoya was also full of excitement and kept chatting.

Eriri was very panicked. She looked around and found that everyone around her was staring at her, and their eyes were very strange.

At this time, Tomoya was already famous in school for frequently talking about otaku culture to others, and everyone thought he was weird.

At this moment, Eriri happened to be in a very embarrassing situation.

On one side was the best friend she first met who shared the same hobby, and on the other side was the image she had painstakingly created and the social circle she had carefully managed.

Originally, Eriri didn’t need to make a difficult decision in such a situation.

But the problem was that Tomoya was a very fanatical missionary who didn’t know how to observe people’s emotions, let alone consider his friends.

People around were watching this scene and started whispering among themselves.

“Did you see it? That weirdo again.”

“Yeah, going around trying to persuade people all day like a madman.”

“Look, what’s he trying to do by grabbing Sawamura-san? Could he be trying to sell that crappy thing to Sawamura-san?”

“Very likely, but how could a girl as pretty as Sawamura-san be interested in 2D?”

The gossip of her classmates reached Eriri’s ears at this moment, her whole body trembling unconsciously, and she thought to herself,

‘It’s over, I’m afraid my love for 2D will be exposed.’

“Have you heard? The usually outstanding Sawamura-san is actually an otaku addicted to 2D!”

“Really? I didn’t know at all. How disgusting.”

“She’s as annoying as that Tomoya. Don’t hang out with her anymore later.”

“Right.”

Thinking of that scene, Eriri couldn’t help but tremble, and her lips quivered unconsciously.

“Don’t... don’t say anymore...”

However, Tomoya didn’t stop at Eriri’s wish, but shouted even louder.

“Eriri, you...”

Just when Eriri was worried that her identity as a 2D otaku would be revealed, Satoru, who had been sleeping next to her all this time, finally couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Hey! You, don’t you mind yelling there all the time? Don’t you see the little girl is in trouble?”

Actually, Satoru originally didn’t want to get involved in this matter. He just wanted to take a nap.

After all, he wasn’t yet proficient in controlling the Six Eyes at this time. Besides, he had to learn Jujutsu from his father, which could be said to be very exhausting.

This also caused him to sleep in school, a situation that would continue until he fully controlled the Six Eyes.

And his father also taught him not to cause trouble at school, so Satoru didn’t want to speak up at first.

At first, he thought Tomoya would stop after a few words. But he didn’t expect this guy to keep chattering there as if he didn’t see the girl about to cry.

This made Satoru even more annoyed.

‘Since you don’t let me sleep well, you won’t be able to feel comfortable either!’

So he finally raised his head and just shouted.

With Satoru’s roar, everyone’s eyes around immediately focused on him.

“Did you see it? The delinquent student lying on the desk all day is awake?”

“Hiss, it seems Aki Tomoya must have woken him up. Then, wouldn’t Sawamura-san also be in trouble...”

Because Satoru had white hair and always slept on the desk during class, he was considered a delinquent by other students in the class, and no one dared to bother him easily.

Then why didn’t the teachers at school find any problems with him?

If there was a student in the class who got perfect scores in every subject, would the teachers still trouble him?

“It seems Aki Tomoya will have a bad time!”

“He really deserves it. Who asked that guy to bother others all the time? I just hope Sawamura-san won’t get involved...”

Seeing Tomoya about to face punishment, people around showed joy, thinking that he had endured all this and deserved it.

At this time, Eriri and Tomoya also heard the discussion from the people around them.

When Eriri heard Satoru’s roar, the first thing that came to her mind was relief. She was finally saved!

However, the current situation made her feel confused.

Although she was grateful to Satoru for interrupting Tomoya, from the current situation, Tomoya was clearly in a desperate situation.

In fact, Eriri’s understanding of Satoru was quite limited.

Like other classmates, she had also heard that Satoru was a delinquent, and even teachers had been taught a lesson by the other side for offending Satoru.

Now that Tomoya had also provoked Satoru, he might not escape punishment. Worse, Eriri worried that she would also be involved, and this fear filled her heart with anxiety.

However, thinking that Tomoya was also her first friend with the same interest, Eriri still wanted to mediate on his behalf. She gathered her courage and was about to say, “Gojo-kun...”

But she hadn’t finished speaking.

*BAM*

A loud slap echoed throughout the class.

No one reacted, staring blankly at Tomoya, who stood there without retracting his hand after being slapped, and Tomoya, whose face was slightly swollen from the slap.
