Chapter 372 Mother
"Our mother..." I thought for a moment and slowly recalled, "She was actually a bit eccentric and lively, but also careless."
"Eh?" Yuji said in surprise, "Lively and careless... is this what he is like?"
"Yeah," I said, "My cooking skills are terrible."
"When cooking, I sprinkle vinegar instead of soy sauce, I never use too much chili pepper, and when cooking rice, I can't control the amount of water, so it either turns into porridge or dry rice crust."
"I don't know how to cook crabs and shrimps. They jump up when I see them move. I don't dare to kill fish. I hold the kitchen knife in my hand for half a day and it's still alive and kicking. I clearly told her not to enter the kitchen, but she was unwilling to prove herself, but she always failed miserably."
Yuji had originally sat up with his hands on his knees and was listening very attentively, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile, his eyes shining.
"What else?" he asked.
"Emmm...very childish." I said, "I like to stay in bed, especially in winter."
"Every time I called her to get up, she would say that the air outside the quilt was so cold, but inside the quilt was a warm bed and pillow, so winter was born for sleeping."
"If I don't sleep in a little longer, I'll be wasting this season."
"Wow..." Yuji exclaimed, "It's not nice to say this, but I feel like this move is exactly the same as Sister Youxin's."
"Nani?"
"Sister Youxin also likes to sleep in."
"Eh?" I said unhappily, "It's not nice to say that, so just don't say it."
"Also, I'm not sleeping in. I'm getting more sleep in a planned way."
Tiger Stick: “…”
"Also, when I have nothing to do, I like to tinker with those weird little toys I bought...ah, Yujin, you know those plastic flowers that can sing non-stop when you stick them on the cake?"
"Oh, I know." He nodded and said, "When I was a kid, the uncle who set up a stall in my hometown also sold them. He once gave me one as a gift."
"Yes, that's it," I said. "She likes that kind of thing very much. She will buy it and modify it herself."
"Hey, does she like it?"
"It seems that he has a spirit that refuses to give up no matter how he is abandoned or destroyed."
Although one of my favorite things to do when I was a kid was to find ways to destroy that thing.
Every year on my birthday, she would buy one and stick it on top, and she also said that when I turned 20 and was able to drink, I would stick a full 20 of them on top, and then we would all dance happily to celebrate before the music ended.
The man complained helplessly that if he really had to wait until the music was finished, he would probably have to celebrate my birthday from when I was 20 to when I was 40.
However, I didn’t even have a 20th birthday party.
"And...she likes to eat a fruit called mulberry. You know that."
"Mulberries...seem to grow on trees." Tiger Stick thought for a moment, then said, "I know they are super expensive. They are both expensive and hard to buy."
"Yes." I nodded, and then said, "So, she suddenly had an idea and decided to buy saplings and plant them in the yard."
"Eh...what next?" Yuji asked curiously.
"And then they all died," I said bluntly. "The guy planted them carefully, fertilized them, and watered them, but not a single one grew."
"Instead, a passing bird went to the toilet in the tilled soil, and it turned out to be a big melon, which made her very depressed..."
“Haha, hahahaha…” Yuji burst out laughing and said while wiping his tears, “It seems a bit miserable.”
"But don't be fooled by her appearance." I added, "She is very good at catwalk and cocktail mixing."
"Cross-legged rope?"
"Yes." I casually pulled out a rope from my pocket, and told him in several different ways, "This is it."
"Do you want to learn?" I said, "I can teach you some other day."
"Yeah!" Yuji nodded vigorously, "I want to learn."
"But, Sister Youxin, can mom...also make cocktails?"
"She can make any kind of drink," I said. "No matter what kind of ingredients she has, she can turn them into a drink with an incredible flavor."
Otherwise, when I was young, the restaurant business at home wouldn’t have been so good, so good that everyone loved to go there for a drink.
Later I also tried to mix it like her, but the result... it just didn't taste right at all.
"Oh...that's great. I didn't even know about these things." There was a slight envy and loneliness in Yuji's eyes.
"........"
I was silent for a moment, suppressed my smile, and then continued, "In the end, she left."
"Before leaving, the person I said I was most sorry to was Yuhito."
"I hope I can live a good life wherever I am in the world."
I rubbed his pink head again and said, "Although she has left this world, she left with her love and blessings for you."
What I'm talking about is not Nozomi, nor my mother, but the woman whose body was taken away by Nozomi, the real Itadori Kaori.
The comics had said that she hoped to have a child with her husband.
If she had not died, after Hisahito was born, I believe that she would have loved him with immense love.
That is Hisahito's real mother.
".....Yeah." Yuji looked like he wanted to cry, but he managed to hold it back. He nodded and asked, "Sister Youxin, can you tell me more about the past? I want to continue listening."
".....Okay." I smiled slowly, and then picked out the relatively lighthearted fragments in my memory and whispered them to him. Yuji's mind was relatively simple, so I spoke more freely, without having to concentrate on thinking about whether there would be loopholes in any of my sentences.
In short, it's much easier to get along with than those few.
However, I still feel a little regretful.
I don't know the real Kaori Itadori, so I can't tell Itadori more about her.
It would be great if I could bring out all the memories in Nozomi's head...
"Later, she..." As I was speaking, I heard a slight breathing sound by my ear.
Turning my head, I saw Yuji lying on the grass with his hand on his forehead, his eyes closed, and he had fallen asleep.
Well... today's battle was very intense. I was chased and killed. After the fight, I had to carry out the guy who wanted to kill him. I was really exhausted.
I smiled, took off my coat and covered him with it, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Just let him have a good rest.
Just at this moment, I glanced slightly to the side and saw that the progress bar on my wrist had changed.
Yuji's eye had grown to the point where only one-third was left. And the weird thing was that Ryomen Sukuna had also grown a little bit.
Is this guy also eavesdropping on our conversation?
Before I could figure it out, I saw Zhang Xiang, who had not been seen all day, appear in front of me. He was standing where Yuji had just stood, looking up at me.
