He was worried about what was about to happen, and also pained by the fact that Gojo Satoru was about to fall completely into the "abyss."
So, there was no need to say, and no need to ask Suguru Geto if what he was doing had meaning. Whether it had meaning or not, he had already received a more accurate answer, an answer from the Geto in the original story, and also from himself in the original story.
"Besides, if you insist on doing it with me, or even doing it before me, I'll be in a tough spot. Geto just needs to stay at Jujutsu High and be a good guy."
The tragedy of the decapitated dragonfly won't happen again here.
Suguru Geto slowly showed an expression of disbelief.
"You—scared I'll get in the way?"
"Objectively speaking, that's true." Gojo Satoru smiled and spread his arms, "Watch, Geto, watch with peace of mind! See if I can create a world worth laughing for us!"
...
Suguru Geto left with Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki Fushiguro.
His head ached, his mood was both angry and depressed, and then a deep sense of powerlessness came over him. His stomach was churning, his head was also aching, but all of that combined didn't hurt as much as the realization "I was abandoned by Gojo Satoru."
The grievance of being cast aside like a worn-out shoe by his closest partner was simply impossible to tell anyone.
He was so depressed he wanted to die.
Suguru Geto recalled his disastrous defeat at the Star Palace, recalled Tsumiki Fushiguro being shot in the temple, recalled Gojo Satoru covered in blood, standing alone amidst a pile of corpses.
You're late, Suguru.
He was useless.
He couldn't protect Tsumiki and Kuroi, he couldn't protect Gojo, and he couldn't do what Gojo had entrusted him with. He messed everything up. It was only natural that Gojo would see him as a burden.
Watch, Geto, see if I can create a world worth laughing for us!
His head was splitting.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to bring Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki Fushiguro back to Jujutsu High, he might have just collapsed on the road. Even if a truck ran over him, he might not get up.
Because of the precedent of Nanako and Mimiko suddenly developing a high fever, he didn't rashly take the fragile children on his flying cursed spirit. Instead, he took them on the bus.
The two children were very well-behaved. The journey back to Jujutsu High was almost an hour long, and they were both quiet, not crying or making a fuss. Suguru Geto didn't know what to do with the two children, but he definitely had to send them back to Jujutsu High first.
Tsumiki and Megumi were actually secretly observing Suguru Geto.
This older brother had a fight with the white-haired older brother just now, and he looked very sad.
Is everything really okay?
Suguru Geto noticed their scrutiny and forced himself to cheer up, asking Tsumiki, "Your brother looks a lot like your dad. Do you look more like your mom?"
Tsumiki was stunned at first, then smiled shyly, "We're not real siblings. We're a blended family!"
Suguru Geto was taken aback, "Really?"
"Yeah, but it's okay. I treat Megumi as my real brother."
Megumi didn't talk much, but when he heard Tsumiki say this, he nodded slightly in agreement.
He also treated Tsumiki as his most precious and important family member.
Suguru Geto's expression softened a lot. He said to them gently, "Is that right? That's great. When we get to Jujutsu High, I'll introduce you to two friends. They're twins. They're... a little younger than you."
However, as he stepped through the gates of Jujutsu High, Suguru Geto keenly sensed something was wrong.
The atmosphere was wrong.
Jujutsu High was too quiet.
He stopped and remembered that this afternoon, the Jujutsu Headquarters had suddenly given them a bunch of tasks, sending the sorcerers at the school away one by one. Suguru Geto instantly became alert.
He whispered to Tsumiki and Megumi, "You two, don't say you know Gojo Satoru."
The two children looked up at him.
Suguru Geto smiled at them, "You're my cousins from the countryside. You're going to stay with me for a while. You've never seen any white-haired big brother, and you don't know the name Gojo Satoru. Don't mention your dad to anyone else, okay?"
The siblings nodded, seemingly understanding.
"Good kids." Suguru Geto praised them, then whispered a few more things to them before leading them towards the building where the treatment room was located. Before they could go inside, a strange assistant supervisor walked out, "Suguru-kun."
Suguru Geto stopped.
He didn't recognize the assistant supervisor.
It must be someone from Kyoto!
Soon, Shoko Ieiri and several assistant supervisors from Tokyo Jujutsu High walked out of the building behind him. They looked at Suguru Geto with a hesitant expression, their faces hard to read.
The strange assistant supervisor stated directly, "I'm an assistant supervisor from Kyoto Jujutsu High. We've received orders from the Jujutsu Headquarters to take Nanako and Mimiko here."
"Why?"
"They are important witnesses. The Jujutsu Headquarters will judge whether Gojo Satoru has lost control based on their testimony."
Suguru Geto's face darkened, "I'm going with them."
The Kyoto assistant supervisor smiled regretfully, "Sorry, they've already left with Principal Gakuganji."
Suguru Geto's eyes narrowed. He was about to turn around and chase after them when a group of strange Jujutsu sorcerers rushed out, surrounding Suguru Geto and the Fushiguro siblings.
Tsumiki was startled and subconsciously grabbed Megumi's hand tightly.
There were a total of ten Jujutsu sorcerers surrounding them, some of them even carrying cursed tools. They were clearly prepared.
The assistant supervisor arrogantly said, "Sorry, we believe that you and Masamichi Yaga are suspected of protecting Gojo Satoru, so please stay at Tokyo Jujutsu High until the Jujutsu Headquarters makes its final decision. Suguru-kun, you should also be a little concerned about the safety of Yaga-sensei and Principal Imai, right?"
Suguru Geto chuckled, "During the Star Plasma Vessel incident, if you could have mustered this kind of force to meet us, Tengen's fusion wouldn't have failed."
The Kyoto assistant supervisor's face showed a moment of embarrassment. Then, he smiled gracefully, "The elders of the Jujutsu Headquarters all say that Suguru-kun is very eloquent. It seems that's true. Please—don't make things difficult for us."
The atmosphere was tense.
The Kyoto Jujutsu sorcerers surrounded Suguru Geto, but they didn't actually want a real conflict.
Suguru Geto was the student that Tengen personally designated as his guard during the Star Plasma Vessel incident. He probably had a strong presence at Tokyo Jujutsu High. If Suguru Geto suddenly resisted and had a bloody conflict with them, Tokyo Jujutsu High wouldn't tolerate it anymore. When the other Jujutsu sorcerers who were away on missions returned, things might escalate into a war between the two schools.
They just hoped that Suguru Geto would be sensible.
After a suffocating silence, Suguru Geto said to the Kyoto assistant supervisor, "Let me entrust these two children first."
The Kyoto assistant supervisor felt relieved, "Please."
Suguru Geto took Megumi and Tsumiki to Shoko Ieiri. Seeing him walk over, Shoko Ieiri quickly glanced at the direction of the interrogation room, then lowered her voice, "Sorry, they took Nanako and Mimiko."
—Yaga-sensei and Principal Imai are in there.
Suguru Geto understood immediately. He just said, "It's okay, there's nothing you can do."
He gave her a "Don't worry" look, then said, "Take care of them for me. They just came from the countryside and are going to stay with me for a few days. They're very well-behaved, they won't bother you."
Nanako and Mimiko, who were entrusted to Shoko Ieiri, were visibly very nervous.
In front of everyone from Kyoto Jujutsu High, Suguru Geto handed an ugly cursed spirit to Megumi.
"I'm going to give them this cursed spirit for protection. Should be fine, right?"
The ugly cursed spirit climbed onto Megumi's neck and expertly wrapped around it.
Tsumiki was startled. If the atmosphere hadn't been so tense, she might have screamed.
The Kyoto assistant supervisor calmly confirmed the faces of the two children. They were both unfamiliar faces, not on the monitoring list this time. He looked at the cursed spirit again. It was so weak, the kind you wouldn't even give a second glance on the street.
So, no need to worry about it.
He didn't want to do anything unnecessary on someone else's turf.
"Let's go, Suguru-kun."
Suguru Geto was taken away.
Ten minutes later.
Treatment room.
Shoko Ieiri asked the two children in front of her, "What are your names?"
"Tsumiki."
"Megumi."
"Who are you to Suguru?"
Megumi lowered his eyes nervously, unwilling to answer the question. Tsumiki avoided Shoko Ieiri's gaze and answered in a mosquito-like voice, "Sister, no, cousin, and cousin."
