I Stabbed Geto, Then Was Forced Into It

****** (Don't read this early work. Don't read it, don't read it.)

About this story:

A practice piece focused on romance. I want to rewrite it now, but the overall story won't change.

*

I hate my classmate Geto with every fiber of my being.

Because I was reborn.

In my previous life, he was a cult leader who wouldn't stop calling people monkeys. He rushed at me, shouting that I should join his new world, and when I refused, he stabbed me to death.

After I was reborn, a dating game threatened me, forcing me to win Geto over.

Sorry, but I'm a born contrarian.

I decided to destroy his great cause. He treated ordinary people like monkeys, so I would treat jujutsu sorcerers like monkeys.

On my first day at Jujutsu High, the game forced me to greet him. Drunk, I gave him a cold smile, three parts aloof, three parts domineering, and four parts nonchalant. "Hey, Monkey King."

Dk Suguru looked horrified.

I was satisfied.

Later, whenever Suguru wanted to absorb a cursed spirit, I would exorcise it first. I would steal the soba he liked, too. And his best friend? Sorry, I was taking him as well.

Suguru's expression grew more and more complicated. I sneered. Finally, I've torn off your mask, Suguru!

At last, I unleashed my ultimate move. When Suguru began to waver, I stabbed him, defected before he could, and said coldly, "Jujutsu sorcerers are all monkeys."

Jujutsu sorcerers are all monkeys. What does that have to do with me, a "Heavenly Restriction"?

Suguru's point of view.

Suguru had a strange classmate. Apparently, she was his best friend's fiancée.

She was gentle and kind to everyone, but she was always cruel to him.

On the first day of school, she called him the Monkey King. In hand-to-hand combat class, she went after him and only him. She talked badly about him right in front of him...

This must be what having a sworn enemy feels like.

But later, he saw that his enemy often read a book called Journey to the West, whose main character was the Monkey King. Gojo said she must think he looked like that character. During a mission, he was ambushed by a Special Grade cursed spirit, and his enemy protected him at the cost of her life, exorcising the spirit. She also loved soba, so they seemed to share a taste in food.

Little by little, the idea that they were enemies began to waver. He realized he had fallen for his enemy, his best friend's fiancée.

He agonized over it and felt lost, but in the end, he decided he would look after his best friend's fiancée. He had overestimated himself.

When he heard Gojo excitedly preparing to confess his feelings to her, Suguru fell silent. He couldn't keep pretending nothing was wrong.

On the day Gojo was about to confess, Suguru also asked her to ride the Ferris wheel with him.

Snow drifted down over the streets of Tokyo at night.

He waited for her beneath the Ferris wheel.

He thought that if she didn't come, he would give up.

But she came and asked him, "Have your feelings begun to waver?"

He nodded and held her in a restrained embrace.

Then she stabbed him, her eyes clearly full of disgust.

She said, "Jujutsu sorcerers are all monkeys."

She defected.

"...So the woman locked on the top floor is Lord Geto's lifelong nemesis?" his adopted daughter Nanako asked him.

"Yes," Geto said with a smile, then turned and went upstairs.

No one knew that hidden in his robe's sleeve was a marriage registration form, torn to pieces and painstakingly put back together.

****The following is the preview for My Love, the Curse King's Snail Noodles

Xiao Zhi Putao had always been able to see things that ordinary people couldn't. They were the dark sides of people.

Because of that, her family was destroyed.

When she was seventeen, she met Suguru Geto, who was also seventeen.

They were the same age, but Geto had somehow made a great success of his career, whatever it was.

Putao, on the other hand, had no idea how to deal with life. She spent her days living off others and waiting to die, surviving by mooching off Geto.

Until one rainy day.

Someone rang Putao's doorbell.

Through the peephole, she saw a drenched boy standing outside with his head lowered.

It was Suguru Geto.

Usually, he climbed through her window when he came over. This time, he politely knocked.

As each second passed while he waited for Xiao Zhi to open the door...

Suguru Geto thought that if she wasn't home, he would leave without looking back.

He would give up on killing her.

Then the door opened. A girl in a capybara onesie poked her head out, holding a steaming bowl of stinky soup noodles. She warmly invited Suguru Geto in.

"Come on in! Snail noodles with spicy fire chicken noodles. How about it?"

The smell made Suguru Geto feel dazed, and for a moment he forgot why he had come.

He silently sniffed the food without eating it, keeping up a polite smile.

Putao took his hand and tried out the newly learned trick for winning over an artistic long-haired man. "Friend, I think you're so special. You have this air of detachment... Uh, I forgot the rest."

Suguru Geto slowly raised his head. His warm eyes held a damp chill, and he said unhurriedly, "You used that line on me a month ago. Long time no see, Putao. You care less and less about me."

Putao couldn't smile anymore.

Behind Suguru Geto, she saw countless crazed monsters.

They screamed hysterically, "Kill you!"

Putao pushed the snail noodles toward him. "Um, before you kill me, how about taking a bite? It really stinks, I mean... it's really delicious."
