Toward ordinary people, even if the other party was scum, Jotaro still did not strike heavily.
Except for the lower body being blasted and the limbs broken, the middle-aged man did not have a life-threatening danger.
The Stand faded. Jotaro turned away in a carefree manner, only to see Touka still in an emotionally out-of-control state, seemingly wanting to vent the pain hidden in her heart for many years.
She looked at Jotaro and asked excitedly, "A life where you don't have nightmares every day, don't dream about being hunted by Doves, don't wake up fearful and anxious, what is that kind of life like?"
"Tell me!"
"From the moment we are born, it's already the worst-case scenario, who can we ask for help from?! Tell me!"
The further she spoke, the softer her voice became, and tears involuntarily flowed down.
Although Jotaro did not speak, standing in place with a cold expression, quietly watching her, this did not mean he felt nothing inside.
His gaze flickered. After a while, he slowly said, "The reason why you go to school, I think I now understand."
Ghouls who do not want to expose their identity should strive to avoid contact with humans, going to a mixed place like school is not a wise decision.
As long as they encounter one or two sensitive people, or a few strange incidents happen, their identity would be easily exposed.
Just like lunch at noon, a student who eats a simple meal every day, if encountered by someone like Jotaro, it would surely raise suspicions.
Compared to school, the cold and indifferent society should be more suitable for ghouls to survive.
If not because she truly liked that kind of life, no ghoul would foolishly take such a risk.
Knowing such ghouls existed, Jotaro finally let out a sigh of relief.
If all ghouls were like Rize, then there would be no possibility of humans and ghouls coexisting.
To complete the system-issued ultimate mission and move on to the next world, he would definitely adopt much stronger measures.
At that time, corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood would not be a joke. Toward evil as he defined it, he would not show mercy.
"Jotaro-san, Touka-chan, what are you two doing?"
Nezuko and Shinobu walked together, each carrying several convenience store bags, stopping behind Jotaro.
Touka still had tear streaks on her face. Seeing the sudden appearance of the two, she was startled.
Her identity exposed, now she didn't even have the strength to deal with them, it was over. And even if she had strength left, when the critical moment came, could she bring herself to attack...
If Nezuko's eyes lost their color, her heart would definitely hurt terribly.
"Jotaro-san, you're not bullying Touka-chan, right?" Touka's pitiful appearance made Nezuko puff her cheeks and question angrily.
"Yare yare... why are you two here?"
Nezuko raised the bag in her hand and said cheerfully, "Shinobu-chan and I bought lots of vegetables and snacks."
Then she put on a stern face and said, "Jotaro-san, you still haven't answered my question!"
She stuffed the two heavy bags into Jotaro's hands all at once, walked to Touka, and bent down intending to help her up.
Touka said in shock, "What are you doing? Can't you tell I'm a ghoul? Why are you still helping me?"
A bitter, self-mocking smile rose at the corner of her mouth.
"Don't be fooled by the act I put on at school. I'm a monster… who eats people."
Nezuko smiled, then pointed at her small, upright, delicate nose and said, "I already knew about Touka-chan's identity. My nose is very sensitive."
At this moment, not just Touka, even Shinobu was shocked.
She asked in confusion, "Nezuko, you knew she was a ghoul, why didn't you tell us? To humans, ghouls are very dangerous."
Nezuko looked gloomy and said with some conflict, "I know. But Touka-chan seems to really like school life, and I don't think she's a bad person."
"If we exposed her identity, her life would definitely become a complete mess. That's just too pitiful."
Touka's body slightly trembled, and an indescribably complex feeling arose in her heart.
"Jotaro-san also hopes for peaceful coexistence between ghouls and humans, right? So I want to try too. Touka-chan isn't a scary person." Nezuko lifted her chin and smiled brightly.
"You really think so…" Touka stared blankly at her, the corner of her mouth trembling slightly.
"You think someone like me… deserves to have a life like that?"
Nezuko gently nodded, her gaze soft and firm.
In that instant, Touka felt a warmth she hadn't experienced in a long time, as if in a cold world, she finally found a shoulder she could lean on.
She held her head and whispered, "You really beat me…"
How could there be someone so naive in this world?
Nezuko smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, Jotaro-san will definitely find a way for humans and ghouls to live in peace."
"Right, Jotaro-san?"
Jotaro replied honestly, "Not sure…"
Nezuko stomped her foot and said, "Geez! Jotaro-san, can't you say something comforting for once?"
Afraid Touka would misunderstand and feel uneasy, she quickly turned her head and spoke a lot of good things about Jotaro.
"Some people may have a bad temper, but a really good heart, Jotaro is exactly that kind of person…"
Once she started praising Jotaro, Nezuko could go on for three days and nights without stopping.
Sweat beaded on Touka's forehead.
"Yare yare…" Even Jotaro felt he couldn't take it anymore.
Shinobu quickly stopped Nezuko and smiled, "Alright, let's get going. Touka-san also needs treatment, you know."
Looking at the injured all-over Touka, Nezuko nodded.
