Strange... I stood on the training ground. She wasn't here. It was already 8 o'clock. From the first day, she was never late; in fact, she usually arrived early and sat on the steps waiting for me. I glanced towards the steps.
Nothing.
Is she sick? Did she get disgusted by the monster from yesterday? No, that's not like Kanna.
I thought for a moment.
What reasons could she have?
I sighed.
Maybe she's just not in the mood. But is Kanna really like that?
I sighed again.
I'll wait for another 20 minutes, maybe she'll show up. I sat on the bench, bored, staring up at the sky.
Damn, I lowkey miss her presence beside me...
I laughed to myself as the minutes passed.
8:05, still nothing.
8:10, still nothing.
8:20, still nothing...
I stood up and decided to teleport to the Mori estate. I went through the garden gate and to the front door, ringing the bell.
One...
two...
three, the door opened.
A maid... she swallowed hard, avoiding my gaze, and bowed slightly.
"Sir, I must ask that you only enter with Mori-sama's permission."
Right, her father wasn't here last time...
I looked at her with furrowed eyebrows, a bad feeling rising in me.
"Tell him Gojo Satoru is here."
She nodded quickly, and for a moment, I thought her head might fall off, and she disappeared.
I waited impatiently... What is this annoying feeling... I sighed, and she reappeared, opening the door fully and gesturing for me to enter.
I walked in, following her through the traditional Japanese estate. I couldn't sense Kanna's presence, nor her mother's. She led me to his office, closing the door behind her as we were alone in the room. His office was large, bookshelves on the left, a long sideboard with antique items on the right. Further back was his desk area.
He was on his feet, standing with his back to me, slowly turning to face me. His eyes were fixed.
Something was different...
I looked more intently.
His nose was a bit crooked...
I stepped further in and sat down on the couch he had placed in the middle, arms stretched out on either side, one leg over the other.
