Gu Mo extended a slender index finger, gently scratched his cheek, tilted his head, and said, he really didn’t know what these little girls were talking about.
"Hmph, let put it this way, you’re her boyfriend, aren’t you? We all know!"
One of the girls snorted lightly and, pretending to be calm, pointed to the Witch next to her, as if this was entirely obvious!
"...No."
Gu Mo blinked again, glanced in the direction of the Witch, then shook his head, giving a very clear negative answer.
"Ha? You still say it’s not?!" x3
The three girls said in unison, their eyes wide open, their tones raised, and disbelief written all over their faces. The waiter nearby hesitated, not knowing whether to co over and stop this sowhat noisy scene.
Because they were all very good friends, Himura Kago often complained to them about Inuyasha’s situation. Although she never admitted that he was her boyfriend, anyone with eyes could tell what was going on—after all, if it wasn’t "him," why would she always talk about him to them whenever they t?
Moreover, in the past, when they all went out shopping and eating, they happily discussed topics between girls. Now, as long as they were out with Kago, it wouldn’t take more than three sentences before the topic would shift to Kago’s boyfriend.
Just ntioning this would fill Himura Kago with resentnt as she complained about her boyfriend’s issues and infuriating habits—rude, petty, always angry, unreasonable... Each ti, her group of friends would feel righteously indignant, empathizing strongly, and couldn’t help but get angry, advising her to decisively cut ties, as such a guy wasn’t worth knowing deeply.
But in these monts, Himura Kago would hem and haw, avoiding the topic, just as she treated the various complicated ailnts she had contracted, absolutely refusing to listen to their advice...
And every ti they suggested they et the person in question, she would just as skillfully change the subject, utterly unwilling to admit it.
This left them quite conflicted—after all, being in a relationship wasn’t sothing to be hidden in the shadows, and there were no prohibitions in school against such things.
If they hadn’t just happened to co across her while out, who knows how much longer Kago would have kept it concealed... Even now, with solid evidence right before them, Kago still managed to play dumb, pretending not to recognize them!
"Hmph, it’s really too much, still trying to hide it from us..."
"Exactly, exactly, she should definitely treat us to a al..."
Two of the girls couldn’t help but shout, while the other also clearly didn’t believe Gu Mo’s words, thinking he was just cooperating with Kago’s act, trying to deceive them...
She tried hard to recall the things her friend had once complained about to her and the others, stared at Gu Mo’s face, and began to seriously ponder.
No wonder Kago always complained about how this person made her so angry, yet no amount of persuasion could convince her to break up. Now, she finally understood why. It seed only natural; if it were her, she might not have the resolve either, dreaming instead of waking up laughing...
Ah, pfft pfft pfft! That’s not it!
She should be backing up her friend! What nonsense was she thinking!
The girl suddenly shook her head vigorously, her shoulder-length hair swaying gently. She tried hard to focus her gaze and, as fiercely as she could, opened her mouth to ask, "Well, are you usually an to her? We all know you are!"
"How could that be..." Gu Mo chuckled, shaking his head, and spoke earnestly, "I dare say there’s no one in this world who treats her better than I do."
"..."
Kikyo paused for a mont, then glanced at him.
Gu Mo, noticing her gaze, also turned his eyes toward her, smiling calmly, as if he had absolute confidence in the matter. The Witch held his gaze for a mont before averting her sowhat unsettled eyes, her long eyelashes lowering slightly.
The ill-fated Porcelain Witch, reborn into the world once more...
Yet ti had flowed on, fifty years gone in a flash...
Like the morning dew, the moon reflected on the water; everything has changed, unable to return to the way it once was. Her recent bewildernt stemd from feeling exceedingly redundant, unable to fathom her purpose in existence.
Because those who rembered her, who were blessed by her, for the most part, had passed away. As for the small portion still related to her, who was the kindest to her—
Granny Feng was her sister, but she couldn’t understand her desire to remain in this world, only wishing her sister to find peace and not linger any longer...
As for Naraku, there’s even less need to ntion him. He was born from the Ghost Spider’s evil thoughts, intending to use the power of the Four Souls Jade to capture Kikyo’s heart, yet such twisted malice could never be described as kind...
And then there was Inuyasha, who, despite his frequent attempts to make ands, was rely deluding himself. In his heart, he had long since made his choice, simply unwilling to admit it. No matter how much he promised or repeated his resolve, he simply couldn’t fulfill them...
