The Story of Gojo Satoru's Youth 15

Title: The Curse

“We’re here, Utaha-senpai.” Asuna said gently.

“Thank you.” Utaha replied softly, with a slight tremble in her voice.

Asuna carefully helped her out of the car and then slowly assisted her to the door.

“Since Utaha-senpai is home, I’ll take my leave.” Asuna said softly, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

“Wait...” Utaha suddenly called out, her voice a bit hoarse.

Hearing the shout, Asuna stopped and turned back to look at her, her eyes full of doubt: “What’s wrong?”

Utaha’s eyes flickered, as if she were hesitating about something.

After a moment, she finally mustered the courage to say, “Can we exchange contact information?”

Her voice was low, as if she were afraid of being rejected.

Asuna smiled faintly and answered without hesitation: “Of course.”

With that, she immediately took out her phone and exchanged contact information with Utaha.

After exchanging contact information, Asuna put her phone back in her pocket, then turned to leave.

*BANG*

Asuna was startled and reacted instantly.

Her hand quickly reached for her waist, grasped the hilt of her rapier, then drew it and slashed backward.

Facing Asuna’s slashing attack, Satoru calmly extended his hand.

Then...

*DING*

Asuna’s rapier was tightly pinched between his five fingers!

Asuna didn’t turn around, but when her rapier was caught, she clearly realized that her opponent was very strong, at least stronger than herself.

So, she immediately made a decision, released the rapier that was being controlled, then came to Utaha’s side, hugged her tightly, and hurriedly retreated a few steps.

*👏👏👏*

Satoru reinserted the rapier in his hand into the ground and clapped his hands.

“It seems Asuna-chan has become stronger again!”

Hearing this familiar voice, a bit of surprise appeared in her eyes, and then Asuna looked at the clapping person.

“Asuna!”

Utaha still beside Asuna, didn’t know what was happening.

Just as she was about to say goodbye to Asuna, she suddenly saw a strange man appear behind Asuna!

Before she could give a warning, Asuna had already drawn her rapier and attacked.

Seeing this, Utaha breathed a sigh of relief: It looks like Asuna must have sensed something was wrong, right?

But what happened next was completely unexpected. The strange man caught the rapier easily!

This was very shocking. After all, just today, she saw terrifying monsters that didn’t last a few rounds in front of Asuna.

Now this mysterious man could catch the rapier so easily, how could she not be surprised?

Before Utaha could recover from her shock.

The next second, Asuna appeared beside her and pulled her back a few steps.

It seemed that both sides were about to fight again, and Asuna would likely be involved in a fierce battle...

However, at this moment, the strange man opposite suddenly started clapping.

Utaha was confused and didn’t understand what he meant.

While she was bewildered, she suddenly found that Asuna seemed to know this man.

Utaha finally understood the relationship between Asuna and the strange man in front of her.

She turned her gaze to Satoru and exclaimed, “He’s so handsome!”

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Utaha’s cheeks turned slightly red. She secretly wondered when she had become so concerned about appearances.

But anyway, this at least proved that the strange feelings she had towards Asuna were not what she thought, and that she wasn’t a lesbian!

Before Utaha could think deeply, Asuna had already approached the man.

“Satoru-kun, why are you here?” Asuna looked at him with a smile and asked with concern.

“Well, after enjoying some dessert earlier, I suddenly sensed a strong feeling of resentment, so I came to check it out.” Satoru replied casually.

“So, Satoru-kun saw everything about the fight earlier?” Asuna’s face showed a bit of embarrassment, revealing a hint of curiosity.

“Of course I saw it, Asuna-chan performed very well~”

Hearing Satoru’s praise, Asuna’s face turned even redder. However, she still had doubts in her mind.

If Satoru had been observing from the beginning, why didn’t he show up until now?

“At first, I planned to leave directly.”

“Eh?”

“But I saw Asuna-chan seems to like that girl very much.”

“Eh?!”

This time, the exclamation came from Utaha standing beside them.

Asuna’s face turned red, and she complained: “Satoru-kun, don’t talk nonsense and cause misunderstandings!”

“I thought Asuna-chan would be sad if she died, so I came out.” Satoru said while scratching the back of his head with an “embarrassed” expression.

Although the other party said it with a smile, Utaha felt uneasy.

Hearing Satoru’s words, Asuna was initially confused, but then quickly realized, and murmured to herself with some speculation.

“Could it be...”

“That’s right... It’s what Asuna-chan is thinking.”

Satoru clenched his left hand and slapped it in the middle of his right palm. A smile appeared on his face, confirming Asuna’s guess.

However, his tone and expression suddenly became serious. He turned to Utaha and said in a deep voice: “There’s a curse on her.”

“Of course... Is that so?”

When Satoru said that Utaha was cursed, Asuna’s face changed slightly, showing an indescribable complex expression.

Because with her ability, she hadn’t detected even a hint of a curse aura on the other party.

If she had left just now... Then, most likely, Utaha would have died without warning at an unknown time.

Moreover, it would probably have happened without her knowledge.

Although, in reality, this incident couldn’t be blamed on her, Asuna had quite a good impression of Utaha. Even though the two couldn’t be called friends, they were quite close.

If someone lost their life due to her negligence, she would surely feel a bit uneasy in her heart.

However, this feeling wasn’t too heavy. Because she was taught by Satoru, she didn’t possess what is called a Saint’s Heart. Eliminating the Cursed Spirit tonight was something she could only do with her strength.
