Chapter 148: Firefight
"Jogo and Mahito have gone out."
At the beach, Suguru Geto lay on a lounge chair, watching Dagon, who had emerged from the sea. Dagon seemed to be very leisurely in the ocean. Of course, this domain, which opened directly to the sea, was also his creation.
"Yes, they went to get revenge on that Tatsuro," Hanami, standing on the ground, nodded. They stood like an old tree, their every move particularly restrained.
"Hanami, you seem unable to let loose."
Suguru Geto wasn't worried about Mahito and the others failing. After all, with two Special Grade cursed spirits targeting him, Tatsuro wouldn't even be able to open his space—no, he wouldn't dare.
He just didn't know if Gojo Satoru would show up.
As for his Tengu armor?
*Pfft!*
How many seconds could it withstand inside Jogo's domain?
The reason for Suguru Geto's previous failure was that he had left himself with too few cursed spirits, less than eight hundred. He had also dispatched too many Special Grade and first-grade cursed spirits elsewhere. Otherwise, even if that brat pulled him into a soul space, those cursed spirits could have swarmed him to death!
He said, "Hanami, sometimes you should learn from Mahito and the others. Exposing your true nature is instinct; it's conducive to improving your strength. Oh right, to prevent them from making too much of a scene, Hanami, you should go over too. I can't show my face yet."
"..."
Hanami didn't speak. After all, they only wanted to slaughter all humans, or perhaps let them rest for a few hundred years to allow the forests to recover their former vitality.
This world had been too severely damaged by humans. A purge was necessary!
Although there was no response, Hanami took Geto's words to heart and headed towards the exit.
...
"This is a bit tricky..."
Kento Nanami, having followed the cursed energy residue on the ground to its end, now had a grave expression, his right hand tightly gripping his short blade.
On a high platform, two pairs of "kindly" eyes were staring intently at him.
"Hehehe! What do you say, should we burn this outsider to ashes?" Jogo said, taking a drag from a cigarette, his eyes looking down with some contempt at the ant on the ground.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Jogo. Keep the commotion small. After all, our target is Tatsuro," Mahito said. Although he really wanted to transform this man into a cursed spirit right now, his soul had not yet recovered. Fighting alone, he would inevitably be at a disadvantage. It was better to leave it to Jogo and see if they could lure Gojo Satoru over.
Everyone said he was the strongest, but they had never seen where his true strength lay...
In order to usher in the age of curses, these things had to be explored. They had to become the pioneers of a new humanity, even if it meant death!
Of course!
If they could avoid dying, it was best to run quickly. Otherwise, death would be meaningless.
*Clatter—*
Jogo, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, leaped down, rolled his neck, and said, "Sorry about this, but... you have to die first!"
His excited expression was filled with thrill. *Slaughter this jujutsu sorcerer as a warm-up, and next up is that detestable brat!*
Jogo formed a technique seal with his hand and waved his large hand.
With a gurgling sound, the temperature in the tunnel soared, as if a live volcano was about to erupt.
Kento Nanami glanced at the volcanic crater that had suddenly appeared on the wall. His pupils constricted, and he quickly dodged.
*Thump!*
The volcano erupted! Luckily, this underground drainage facility had ventilation shafts; otherwise, there would have definitely been a gas explosion.
The scorching magma directly melted the thick walls, and the sewage in the channels was instantly evaporated. Sizzling sounds and scalding steam gradually filled the entire underground passage.
Kento Nanami quickly retreated. This was no longer a cursed spirit he could handle. Two Special Grade cursed spirits who could communicate normally had gathered together just to ambush Tatsuro?
He didn't believe it. There must be another plan!
The scalding steam obstructed everyone's vision. The "papapa" sound of footsteps echoed in the area. The erupted small volcano had already stopped. Jogo calmly took a drag from his cigarette, and the crater on his head began to make gurgling sounds.
*Plop—*
Like a bubble bursting, a stone shot out from the volcano. The "stone," as if having received some command, instantly opened its crimson eyes and began to unfurl its body...
More and more "stones" emerged from the volcano. Dozens of insects unfurled their bodies, their sharp mouths seeming capable of piercing through anything. With a "whirring" sound of wings, the dozens of insects instantly vanished from their spot, bursting through the steam to chase after the fleeing ant.
"Truly pathetic."
Jogo stood in place, waiting for the good news from his Fire Gravel Bugs. After all, to kill such fleeing trash, he couldn't even be bothered to do it himself.
"Swoosh—"
Sensing something approaching, Kento Nanami instantly turned around. A deep blue cursed energy covered his blade. His eyes, like a ruler, locked onto the 7:3 point on these insects and then swung.
"Crack—"
A crisp sound rang out. The connection between the Fire Gravel Bug's head and body instantly shattered, and they separated.
"One..."
Under his glasses, his yellowish-green pupils locked onto the other incoming insects. The priority right now was to retreat. After all, a person must be self-aware of their own strength. If you can't win, you can't win. Spreading this information was the optimal choice; one should not do meaningless things.
"Two..."
Just as Kento Nanami struck an insect, he noticed something was wrong. His form seemed to have expanded...
"Eee, eeyayayaya...!"
The Fire Gravel Bugs began to let out pained hisses, their eyes bulging wide, their forms beginning to expand. Despite such pain, they still charged towards the human before them.
"This is..."
Kento Nanami's expression turned cold. He knew that today, he might fall here. The power gap between them was simply too vast...
*Thump!!*
The Fire Gravel Bugs self-destructed. Not only the underground passage, but the ground above also began to crack.
"Bzzzzz!"
One Fire Gravel Bug that hadn't self-destructed observed the situation. Once it saw that the human was completely dead, it would return.
Thick smoke billowed. The nearby walls showed cracks. The Fire Gravel Bug slowly approached.
"Swoosh!"
A sturdy hand shot out from the smoke, instantly grabbing the slowly approaching Fire Gravel Bug. A short blade wrapped in a tie arrived in an instant, splitting the Fire Gravel Bug in two.
*Clap—*
A pair of shiny leather shoes stepped out from the smoke, covered in deep blue cursed energy. Kento Nanami, his clothes torn and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, walked out of the smoke. That last blow was not just an explosive attack; it also carried a high-frequency sound wave. His ears were now ringing, and his brain was somewhat dazed from the shock. He couldn't even hear his own footsteps.
"Must... leave quickly..."
Taking heavy steps, Kento Nanami started running again. A piercing scream came from behind, seemingly the roar of that Special Grade Cursed Spirit, enraged at not having killed him.
"Go to hell!"
Jogo knew he had underestimated that jujutsu sorcerer. His index and middle fingers came together to form a technique seal. A giant volcanic crater appeared behind him, covering the entire underground passage, as if wanting to bury him along with this place.
"Don't be like that, Jogo."
Mahito reminded him, "Our purpose is to lure out Tatsuro or Gojo Satoru, not to destroy this place."
"..."
"Tch."
Although very displeased, Jogo still retracted the volcano behind him, then pushed off with his legs.
With a "crack," the ground shattered. Jogo revealed his neat, large black teeth and charged directly, his right hand submerged in magma. As long as he touched him, that person would be burned to a crisp!
"Hoo..."
Sensing the temperature rising behind him, Kento Nanami also knew he couldn't escape. He took a deep breath, and the cursed energy in his body erupted. It was the first time he had seen a cursed spirit of this level.
Whether it was its cursed technique, cursed energy, or speed, it all crushed him. Extremely difficult to deal with...
*Perhaps today is the day I die here. But I must at least leave myself with the hope of survival.*
He swung the short blade in his hand. A ruler appeared in his eyes, and his 'Ratio Technique' activated. Like the "critical hit" effect of 'Black Flash,' the Ratio Technique divides the target's length into equal parts and forcibly creates a weak point at the 7:3 mark. Hitting it guarantees a "critical hit"!
"Swoosh—"
The man and the curse attacked simultaneously. The scalding magma burned the man's body, while the short blade in the man's right hand slashed onto the cursed spirit's body.
*Thump!*
The wall cracked. The scorched man lay on the ground. The cursed spirit on the wall praised, "Not bad. I thought that slash of yours would do nothing. I didn't expect to have still underestimated you."
"Cough, cough!" Kento Nanami's left side was burned beyond recognition. He lay on the ground and said weakly, "Who... knows? Although I didn't get the information out, if I die..., the higher-ups will become vigilant against you, right..."
After speaking, he closed his eyes, recalling his life. He really hadn't expected to die so soon. *So be it... this dogshit-like life, it's better that it ends...*
*It's just a bit of a pity. I said I was going to do a mission with Tatsuro. Now I'm leaving first. I also hope he burns me cleanly, so as not to make that 16-year-old boy cry...*
"Crack—"
Jogo emerged from the wall, repairing his damaged body. That last attack was truly unexpected; the power and the cursed energy imbued in the attack were completely mismatched, as if it had struck a weak point.
"My name is Jogo. Although you are weak, I will grant you an instant death, without pain!"
With that, his right hand, covered in magma, slapped towards the man's head. As long as he instantly took off his head, he wouldn't feel any pain. This was his final praise for this man!
"Crack!"
The ceiling shattered. A crimson cursed energy spear appeared, thrusting towards the attacking Jogo.
"What!?"
A sense of crisis assaulted him. Jogo quickly retreated. If he had still chosen to take the man's head, he might have been pierced by this thing!
"Clang!"
On the ground below.
Tatsuro, with his Mangekyo open, looked down at the hole he had made with his Susanoo and muttered, "Looks like I made it in time."
A passerby nearby was also startled. Never mind why the ground had cracked before, but now a huge crater had appeared in an instant!
"Is that a monster?"
A passerby who could see the Susanoo said in surprise. This boy had a giant "god" on him! Its huge body was crimson, its eyes glowed with white light, and it held a long spear.
As the spear dissipated, the young man took out a phone from his pocket, said a few simple words as if giving his last will, then glanced around, said "Evacuate quickly," and jumped down.
"He jumped down!"
Cries of surprise came from the mouths of the passersby. They then immediately dialed for an ambulance.
*Thud—*
Tatsuro landed steadily. He looked at Jogo before him but didn't bother with him, instead squatting down to check Kento Nanami's injuries.
"Brat, you got here pretty fast."
Jogo licked his lips. Today, he absolutely had to beat this brat until he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy!
"Well, if I didn't get here quickly, I'd have to make fun of you."
Tatsuro exited Sage Mode to help stabilize Nanami's injuries. Otherwise, the burns would make his life a living hell. At this moment, he couldn't use too much cursed energy to help him recover, or both of them wouldn't be able to escape.
"Quick... go! Don't waste your cursed energy!"
He was relieved to see Tatsuro arrive, but the enemy before them was too strong. If he wasted cursed energy saving him, it meant he would also die!
"Save him, save him. Waste your cursed energy saving a person who can't even move half his body."
Jogo felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He just loved watching this kind of scene where humans desperately tried to save each other. In a moment, if he killed that man right in front of him, would he be enraged to the extreme?!
"You really came, Tatsuro-kun."
Mahito slowly walked over, looking with delight at his own nemesis. He wanted to turn this guy into his own thing, then let him stay by his side forever.
After all, a person who could see and attack souls was rare. He had to make him his own thing, using his original body!
"..."
Tatsuro didn't reply, but the Susanoo covering his body didn't dissipate; he was still on guard. Kento Nanami, wanting to grab his hand and stop him, was also ignored. He continued to use 'Reverse Cursed Technique' to alleviate the burning pain, his mind racing for a countermeasure.
He had to stall now, stall until reinforcements arrived. He just didn't know how long he could stall. He'd have to fight first, at least to send Nanami to safety.
The system mission was issued.
[Mission 1: Safely escape from two Special Grade Cursed Spirits. Mission Reward: 40 points, 450 cursed energy permanent increase.]
[Mission 2: Defeat two Special Grade Cursed Spirits. Mission Reward: 70 points, 800 cursed energy permanent increase.]
Tatsuro only glanced at this. It was very rare, a choice mission suddenly appearing. But he only glanced at it; after all, he didn't have the life to do the second mission.
After treating Kento Nanami, Tatsuro bit his index finger, his hands quickly forming seals, and shouted, "Summoning Technique! Take him away, Shura!"
"Poof!"
As a cloud of white smoke appeared, Shura, receiving the command, grabbed Kento Nanami's clothes with its mouth and dragged him away.
"Don't even think..."
Just as Jogo was preparing to form a technique seal, the Susanoo, holding a long spear, attacked him. The Susanoo without its Tengu armor was faster in its attacks, but its defense was not as high as the Tengu armor form. More importantly, it saved cursed energy.
The underground passage was gouged with a deep trench by the crimson spear, but its forward speed did not decrease because of it.
"Thump!"
Tatsuro glanced at the narrow passage and said, "Looks like it's affecting my performance a bit. Let me expand it!"
He knew that this level of attack wouldn't pose much of a threat to them; after all, what was truly formidable was his dojutsu. The sage markings reappeared on his face. The Susanoo's Tengu armor emerged from underground, "swallowing" the giant.
"Crack—"
The Susanoo, tens of meters tall, burst through the high walls. Like a giant living in a room of its own size, it couldn't move freely. Its driven arms would cause irreparable damage to the walls.
"You really think you're so great just because you can pilot a Gundam? Go to hell!"
From the thick smoke, Jogo's voice emerged. Then, a stream of scorching magma spewed out, a thousand-degree magma wave sweeping with heat towards the giant Susanoo.
Tatsuro only glanced at it, then continued to control the Susanoo to pick up the shield behind it. This place was really too small, unsuitable for him to fight.
The Mangekyo of his right eye was engraved on the giant shield. He slapped it towards the incoming magma. Like a rushing stream of water meeting a giant boulder, it instantly exploded!
"Crack—"
Space shattered, and the damaged walls cracked. The reinforced concrete, having withstood numerous attacks, also began to collapse. A large amount of rubble and dirt began to fall, and cracks appeared on the flat road surface. The earth began to tremble!
Those onlookers now seemed to understand why that young man had said "evacuate quickly" and immediately fled in all directions.
"Hahahaha! You madman! You're completely disregarding how many people above can survive and have decided to fight in the city streets!"
From the deep pit, Jogo's unrestrained voice came out.
"It doesn't matter. I don't care either. I don't even care how many people you kill. I only hold true to two points."
The Susanoo, pushing aside the dirt on its body, climbed out of the earth. Tatsuro, standing within it completely unscathed, had his right eye begin to bleed.
"I really want you more and more, Tatsuro-kun!"
Mahito, who had turned into an earthworm and burrowed through the dirt, appeared below. He seemed to want to drill inside but was blocked by cursed energy. Separated by a thin wall, he said, "Come out and let me give you a good hug!"
"Disgusting."
Tatsuro looked at Mahito at his feet and kicked down with a 'Sage Art: Painful Sky Leg.' But Mahito didn't seem to care at all, directly taking the hit.
Even though his face was twisted from being stepped on, he still said, "If you don't use those eyes, you can't hit my soul. Hurry up and use them on me! Let's see which of us dies faster!"
"..."
"Thump!!"
The ground shattered, and Mahito's head exploded, but in a short while, it automatically healed!
Tatsuro could see the soul, but he wouldn't cover it with cursed energy because he hadn't even practiced that yet, and he had been busy recently.
"Hehehe! Brat, kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!"
Jogo emerged from the ruins, the volcano on his head beginning to churn. Dozens of Fire Gravel Bugs spewed out from it. He formed a technique seal with his right hand, and three volcanic craters appeared behind him, aimed at the giant Susanoo before him.
Tatsuro, standing in the Susanoo, paid it no mind. His free right hand slowly drew the samurai sword from his waist.
Dozens of Fire Gravel Bugs began to let out mournful cries, then charged towards the giant Susanoo. The three volcanoes erupted instantly!!
"Hoo..."
Tatsuro advanced steadily. The giant Susanoo, holding its shield, charged forward, and the two collided!
"Clang!!"
A muffled sound came out. Tatsuro's internal cursed energy erupted, and his eyes began to spin! Blood streaked across his cheeks.
The young man did not stop his advance. The samurai sword tightly gripped in the Susanoo's right hand glinted with a cold light.
"Hehehe, got you. How about a hug?"
Mahito appeared from behind, then spat out several cursed spirits from his mouth. Three cursed spirits, under Mahito's control, became huge. Their bloated bodies were tens of meters tall, and they hugged the giant Susanoo tightly from behind.
Tatsuro glanced back. In his calm eyes, only indifference remained. He didn't want to show too much emotion; that would make his body hurt a lot. He then quickly formed hand seals and took a deep breath.
'Sage Art: Great Fireball Technique!'
A fireball tens of meters wide was spat out, followed by the sizzling sound of burning. But the cursed spirits did not let go because of this. Pain showed on their faces, tears flowed from their eyes, and they roared, "It hurts! Save me!"
"..."
Tatsuro, sensing he couldn't burn them to death, spat out an even larger fireball, not stopping until the three cursed spirits were burned alive.
"Clang!"
A huge sound came from the front of the Susanoo. Jogo, his hands clenched into fists, was currently hammering the Susanoo, saying, "Pretty sturdy, this tortoise shell of yours, brat!"
"..."
"Eh! You actually burned them alive? Didn't you hear them begging for mercy in their mouths?" Mahito's teasing voice came through.
"Hoo..."
Tatsuro felt he was about to lose control at this moment. These two cursed spirits were chattering endlessly in his ears.
He himself was dead tired, yet these two people...
"Damn it, just die for me!!"
Tatsuro no longer wanted to control his emotions! Immense sage energy erupted from his body. The red light in the tall Susanoo's eyes brightened. It threw the samurai sword in its right hand into the air, reached out to grab Jogo, and threw the shield in its left hand at Mahito behind it.
The two cursed spirits frowned and instantly dodged.
"Thud—"
The Susanoo caught the samurai sword falling from the sky. The crimson Mangekyo locked onto Jogo in the air, and the giant blade swung out!
"Crack—!"
Space suddenly shattered. The blade, which was originally tens of meters away, instantly reached Jogo's body.
This one slash!
With the help of 'Mirror Shatter,' it directly broke through space, infinitely compressing the distance between the blade and Jogo, until it reached him!
'Mirror Shatter' itself could break space to create a tearing effect, but this was the first time he had used it to break space and compress the distance between two points to almost "nothing"!
"How can this be!?"
Jogo, seeing the giant samurai sword suddenly appear at his waist, was also completely bewildered. He couldn't understand!?
"Thump!"
"Crack—!"
Jogo, smashed into the ground, took a direct hit from 'Mirror Shatter.' He spat out a mouthful of blood. This brat was stronger than he had imagined!
"Go to hell!!"
Tatsuro's right eye spun frantically. He was going to grind this fellow into dust!
"Domain Expansion: Coffin of the Iron Mountain!"
Jogo, knowing that if he didn't open his domain, he would be crushed by this desperate boy, endured the intense pain and opened his domain.
A black barrier instantly covered the two curses and one person. In the endless darkness, a solid ground began to manifest, scalding magma began to churn, and sturdy mountain peaks protruded from the ground, enclosing the entire inner domain! A "clang" sound was heard, and the rock walls cracked open, and rolling magma began to flow out, endlessly...
As the scalding magma lifted the samurai sword, he felt much better. He panted heavily, half of his body had already been torn apart, he had almost been killed by a sneak attack...
"Are you okay? Want me to help you heal?" Mahito, running to Jogo's side, teased.
"No need, it's just a small injury. I won't let him touch me again."
Jogo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; the ghastly wounds on his body were healing rapidly. Cursed spirits didn't have as much trouble recovering from physical injuries as humans, because they were curses themselves. Body recovery depended entirely on whether they had enough cursed energy.
He then stood up and gazed at the heavily panting Tatsuro. He also knew that that last move had almost emptied his cursed energy. But since he had to keep him alive, he could only manipulate the magma to tear off that thick Tengu armor of his!
And then step on him, make him lower his head and beg for mercy!
"Gulp—"
Tatsuro, standing inside the Susanoo and panting, looked at the bubbling magma around him. But this intense high temperature did not affect the young man. He slowly said, "Since Nanami has been taken to a safe place, then let's just smash this domain, Shura!"
"Smash it!?"
"Not good! That dead dog!"
Jogo, who was manipulating the magma to form a giant hand, was startled. Just as he was about to strengthen the domain's outer defenses, a "crack" sound was heard. A golden cursed energy cannon directly and forcibly smashed through the domain barrier.
Shura charged into the domain and carried his master out from within the Susanoo.
"Well done, Shura..."
Tatsuro, lying on Shura's back, deactivated his Mangekyo. The blood on his face had long since crusted over. He was already very tired. It was a bit of a pity that he had been just short of shattering that fellow.
With Shura at full power, it took less than a second to enter the domain and take Tatsuro out. In such a short time, the damaged domain couldn't possibly be repaired.
"Brat!!"
Jogo, seeing Tatsuro could actually escape, completely exploded! The wooden plugs in his ears were burst by the magma.
"Tsk, a bit of a pity. My soul is too severely damaged to exert my full strength."
Looking at the dissipating great Tengu, Mahito complained, "I'd better wait until my soul has recovered before playing with him again. Let's go, Jogo. If we stay any longer, that bunch will be here soon."
"Stinky brat, stinky brat, stinky brat, stinky brat!"
Jogo's eyeballs were bulging wide, muttering under his breath. He hated that he had forgotten about that shikigami and hadn't reinforced the domain's outer defenses; otherwise, how could he possibly have escaped!
Next time, next time he would definitely make him kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, absolutely!
The domain dissipated, and the scalding magma vanished.
Unlike Ryomen Sukuna's open domain, a normal domain brings people into one's own field, and techniques within the domain are guaranteed to hit. It's very difficult for enemies within the domain to escape, basically impossible. But the external defense of the domain is extremely fragile. The simplest way to break a domain is to use one's own domain; the stronger side will win.
"Hehehe, one mistake, and the whole game is lost."
Tatsuro, lying on Shura's back, sneered coldly. Although he didn't know when Gojo Satoru would arrive, he had still escaped by his own strength. Looking at the completed system panel, the smile on his lips grew wider.
[Mission Complete. Mission Reward initiating distribution: 40 points, 450 cursed energy permanent increase.]
*Kento Nanami, who usually chats with him, didn't die, and he himself got out in one piece. Not a loss...*
...
"Am I late...?"
In the sky above, Gojo Satoru, wearing sunglasses, gazed at the cursed energy residue in the deep pit on the ground. He had rushed here as soon as he got the call, but it seemed he had gotten the teleportation point wrong, off by several tens of kilometers.
After all, he was a bit far away, so this degree of deviation was within expectations. But what about the situation now?
Had Tatsuro left, or had he been taken away?
The somewhat anxious Gojo Satoru quickly took out his phone. He didn't want anything to happen to his students, but his hands-off style of raising them could only cultivate them this way. It wasn't as if he could follow them around every day, right?
"Du..."
"Du..."
Gojo Satoru looked at his phone screen, his right thumb tapping unconsciously, the frequency gradually increasing.
"Du-du—"
The call connected. Before Tatsuro could speak, Gojo Satoru said anxiously, "Where are you?"
Tatsuro's weak voice came from the phone, "I've already left. Let's meet at Jujutsu High, Gojo-sensei."
After speaking, Tatsuro hung up the phone. He was currently lying on top of a tall building. Kento Nanami, half of his body burned, was leaning against a wall, saying with a relieved expression:
"It's really so good to see you come back alive. If you had also died, that would have been a curse on me for a lifetime."
"I'm not dying that quickly."
Tatsuro got up with difficulty and said to Shura, "Exit Sage Mode. Let me take some cursed energy."
"Woof woof! Okay, Master!"
Shura shouted and then exited Sage Mode. The cursed energy in its body instantly decreased by more than half.
"Let me treat you again, Mr. Nanami. Otherwise, you'll be left with scars."
Tatsuro was mentally exhausted at this moment; the physical pain had long been repaired by 'Reverse Cursed Technique.' Looking at the half of his body that was completely cooked through and necrotic, Tatsuro raised his right hand and touched it.
He bit his tongue to forcibly wake himself up and began to operate 'Reverse Cursed Technique' to replace the necrotic muscles on his body. Otherwise, it would be too late when that part of his soul also transformed along with the flesh during recovery.
The soul resides in the body. If an arm is cut off, the soul will still exist for a short time. But if too much time passes, the soul will dissipate because there is no flesh to reside in.
Ten minutes later...
Tatsuro, having finished the treatment, lay directly on the ground. He was truly dead tired today.
His vision became blurry. The young man's exhausted soul finally couldn't hold on any longer. He said, "I'm going to sleep for a bit," and then began to hibernate.
Shura, seeing its master asleep, squatted beside him, gently placing its tail on his stomach.
"You've worked hard..."
Kento Nanami looked at Tatsuro lying on the ground, picked up the phone he had placed on the ground, dialed Kiyotaka Ijichi's number, gave him the address, and then also reported the newly appeared Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
Hanging up the phone, he took off his broken glasses. His yellowish-green pupils gazed at the scenery in the distance, his scattered hair fluttering in the wind. He said, "Perhaps I'm still too weak..."
He had gone to work right after graduating from Jujutsu High. His own talent was not low; after all, how many first-grade sorcerers were there in the jujutsu world? His criticism of himself was also without any selfishness.
Right was right, wrong was wrong. He had originally been lying there with the mentality of certain death, but he hadn't expected to be saved...
This debt, he didn't know how he could ever repay it...
Half an hour later, Kiyotaka Ijichi arrived in a sedan. Kento Nanami picked up the sleeping Tatsuro and walked downstairs.
Shura followed behind, wagging its tail. However, it was too heavy and couldn't climb down the stairs, so it could only droop its ears and return the way it came, going back the same way it got up.
Between the tall buildings, if you see a dog shuttling back and forth, please don't be afraid, because this is a super dog!
...
When Tatsuro woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day. He slowly opened his eyes and felt something lying in his arms. He looked down and saw it was Noa Yorishie, curled up and sleeping. She was sucking her right index finger in her mouth, her left hand clutching his clothes.
A faint smile appeared on Tatsuro's lips. He gently removed her left hand and got up quietly.
Lady Katsuyu, who had been awakened by someone, awoke from the wall. Seeing Tatsuro preparing to go to the bathroom, she said happily, "Tatsuro-kun, you're awake."
"Mm, I've made you worry, Lady Katsuyu."
Tatsuro nodded, then walked into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. After yesterday's battle, his eyesight had plummeted again. It seemed it wouldn't be long before he could apply for a white bandage.
*It doesn't feel too early to get used to wearing it now.*
*After all, he also wanted to experience... experience my ass! The Six Eyes are the same as the Byakugan; he can see the road, but I can't!*
"Sigh!"
After washing up, Tatsuro pushed those worries to the back of his mind. After all, no matter how much he worried, it was the same. It was better to let himself be happier.
He did start to consider whether he should buy 'Izanagi.' After all, there was a high probability he would go blind before he could gather enough points to evolve to the Eternal Mangekyo.
And then be forced to swap eyes.
Walking out of the bathroom, Tatsuro opened the fridge, looked at the changed meat, randomly took out three pieces, and began to make today's breakfast.
The sizzling sound of oil came from the kitchen. Shura, who had been sleeping on the floor, woke up smelling the fragrance, along with Noa Yorishie sleeping on the bed.
She slowly sat up, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Big brother, what are we eating today?"
"We're eating steak. If you want to eat other dishes, I'll go out to buy groceries in a bit. What do you want to eat?"
"I don't know..."
Noa Yorishie, who had been locked up for a long time, indeed didn't know the names of the dishes she wanted to eat, only what they looked like. She walked barefoot on the smooth floor,趴ing by the door and curiously staring at Tatsuro cooking in the kitchen.
At this moment, his hands were stirring the contents of the pot. The "sizzling" sound of frying echoed in her ears, but it was very fragrant.
Tatsuro, wearing an apron, placed the cut meat from the pot onto a plate. Although yesterday's dishes hadn't been washed, it didn't affect the fact that his house had plenty of stored plates.
"Go brush your teeth first, then come over for breakfast," Tatsuro said, glancing at the rice cooker that wasn't ready yet.
"Brush my teeth?"
"Oh! I'll go right now."
Noa Yorishie, recalling what "brushing teeth" was, quickly ran into the bathroom and picked up the only cup and toothbrush in front of the mirror.
"..."
Tatsuro was stunned at this moment. *Did I buy her a toothbrush and cup? Shura and Lady Katsuyu don't use them. The bathroom only has mine. Don't tell me...*
Placing the plate on the table set up by Lady Katsuyu, Tatsuro walked into the bathroom and found she was indeed using his...
He didn't have mysophobia, but two people couldn't use the same cup, right? He'd buy her one on his way to get groceries later. He just didn't know how many days she would be staying...
"Finished brushing!"
Noa Yorishie rinsed the foam from her mouth with water and then flashed her teeth.
"Mm, go eat breakfast."
Tatsuro nodded. Watching Noa Yorishie happily go to eat, he turned and went into the kitchen to make his own breakfast.
He opened the system panel and glanced at his own attributes.
