The Story of Gojo Satoru's Youth 13

Title: Kasumigaoka Utaha Encounters a Cursed Spirit

At night, the sun set in the west, and its remaining light illuminated the earth, making the entire world glow in an orange-red hue.

Satoru was lounging comfortably in a rocking chair in the spacious yard of his home, a satisfied smile on his face as he enjoyed the delicious kikufu.

Next to him was an empty bag that had contained the items he had purchased, along with the portion he was holding in his hand. It was clear this was the second portion of kikufu he had bought that day.

“Indeed, desserts are the most beautiful and delightful things in the world!”

After finishing the last piece of kikufu, Satoru stood up contentedly, lay back down, and sighed.

Then, he looked at the empty bag on the ground and murmured softly, “Next time, I must go to the old lady’s shop in Shibuya to buy kikufu. Hers taste really good.”

For Satoru, tasting kikufu was undoubtedly one of the happiest and most delightful moments.

After throwing the empty trash bag into the bin, he looked up at the dark night sky.

“Oh, how annoying! I just finished enjoying such a delicious dessert, why do you show up now? Really troublesome!”

Despite his reluctance, Satoru quickly performed the [Limitless Technique], disappearing instantly and teleporting away from the villa.

The scene changed.

He appeared on a deserted street.

He extended his slender fingers and was about to set up a Curtain, but suddenly discovered that someone had already set up a Curtain in front of him.

Satoru carefully sensed the Curtain, and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly: “Hmm... that feels familiar.”

“What’s happening here? Why did I end up here? Why is there a monster?”

Utaha was running wildly among the decaying and dilapidated buildings, shouting loudly in her heart.

The fear in her heart was about to materialize.

In fact, everything happened very suddenly. Initially, she was just discussing with her editor that the third volume might be cut in half.

After the discussion, she felt a bit depressed, so she walked alone on the street, wanting to relax and find creative inspiration.

However, as she walked, she ended up on this unfamiliar street. Initially, she didn’t feel anything strange.

But soon she realized something was wrong; the surroundings were too quiet.

She began to carefully observe her surroundings, examining every corner, trying to find signs of abnormality.

However, she was shocked to find that it seemed there was no one here except herself.

This unusual silence made her uncomfortable, and an inexplicable fear slowly enveloped her heart.

As a light novelist, her imagination was always very rich.

At this moment, all kinds of strange thoughts flooded her mind, and she began to wonder if she was trapped in some supernatural event.

“Must be so unlucky...” Utaha murmured softly, her voice echoing in the silent air.

She felt a deadly silence around her, and the fear in her heart grew stronger.

At this moment, a cold sensation suddenly attacked from behind, like a cold snake crawling up her spine.

She immediately turned around and looked behind, her pupils suddenly shrinking, her face full of fear.

The scene in front of her made her hair stand on end.

A large monster with a mouth full of fangs and a fierce face appeared behind her.

There was disgusting saliva dripping from its mouth, emitting a foul stench. The distorted face showed greed and malice, as if it wanted to eat her alive.

An indistinct voice came from the monster’s throat: “Food... Food, eat, evolve!”

These words echoed in Utaha’s ears, making her mind go blank.

Faced with such a terrifying scene, Utaha completely lost the ability to think.

There was only one thought left in her mind: run!

As she saw the monster, her body reacted instinctively, stretching her legs and running as fast as she could.

The Cursed Spirit behind her roared and chased after her.

Its speed was very fast, and the distance between them was getting closer, as if it could pounce on her at any moment and tear her apart.

Utaha, who was running, heard the terrifying roar, and her legs started to tremble, as if she would lose control.

She felt an invisible pressure enveloping her, and each step became extremely difficult.

However, she knew that stopping meant death, and only by continuing to move forward was there a chance to survive.

The desire to survive deep in her heart gradually overcame her fear. Utaha gritted her teeth and ran with all her might.

Her heartbeat quickened, and her breath became fast and erratic.

Sweat dripped down her forehead and soaked her clothes, but she didn’t have time to care. She just wanted to escape as quickly as possible from the monster chasing behind her.

As time passed, Utaha’s speed gradually slowed down.

After all, for a homebody girl who usually didn’t like sports, running for a long time had already exceeded her limits.

Her legs felt as heavy as lead, and each step required great effort.

Looking back, the terrifying monster was getting closer step by step, and the distance between the monster and her was shortening.

Despair surged in Utaha’s heart, and she realized that if she continued like this, she would be caught and become the monster’s meal sooner or later.

The combination of fear and helplessness made it almost impossible for her to think.

“What should I do? Am I really going to die here today...” Utaha murmured to herself.

She thought of her unfulfilled dreams, her unfinished novels, and the beautiful love she had never experienced... all of it would go to waste.

Tears blurred her vision, and her heart was filled with reluctance and regret.

At this moment, due to excessive tension, Utaha accidentally twisted her ankle, lost her balance, and fell to the ground with a thud.

She groaned in pain, her body trembling, trying to stand up again.

However, the severe pain in her ankle was like millions of ants gnawing at her, making it unbearable, let alone moving.

Her ankle was clearly swollen, and the black stockings that had initially wrapped her legs were torn due to the hard friction with the ground, revealing her bleeding knees. Blood continued to ooze out, staining the surrounding ground with a shocking red color.

Seeing the monster with a fierce face and a foul smell slowly approaching, the shadow of death mercilessly pressed down on her.

Fear and despair intertwined, making her feel an unprecedented helplessness.

This time, Utaha was truly in a desperate situation. Facing the monster approaching step by step, she nervously closed her eyes.

Is this the end of fate? There was a strong reluctance in her heart, and so many things she had never experienced were waiting for her to explore...
