The increasing amount of chores.

The noise of gossip behind her back.

She had to endure the pain and work hard, but she would eventually become a burden to Maki.

Everything in the Zenin family seemed to have turned into a sticky quagmire.

They were fledglings that had fallen into it before their wings were fully grown, and even if they struggled, they would only add more mud to their bodies.

That person must have known it, so he left.

Even if he took his younger sister with him, it would only be a burden, so he made a promise that they could never fulfill and left.

How cunning...

"I'm going to Tokyo Jujutsu High School." The older sister with a single ponytail made a firm decision.

It took Maki a few seconds to react and understand what she was saying.

The promise made with great longing when she was young, she only understood what it meant when she grew up.

The connection between Kyoto Jujutsu High School and the top leaders of the Jujutsu world and the three great families became closer.

It is suitable for sorcerers who come from sorcerer families to join, so that the same period is basically people of the same origin and with similar backgrounds.

Each position represents the ability to bring more benefits to the family.

However, this is not the case with Tokyo Jujutsu High School. Although there is Tengen in charge, it originally prefers to allow sorcerers from ordinary families to join.

Not to mention the head of the Gojo family, who is in opposition to the Zenin family, Gojo Satoru works there as a teacher at the Tokyo School.

If you go to Tokyo School ten years ago, it can still be considered a waste.

Now going to Tokyo School is naked rebellion and a rebellion against the Zenin family.

As long as you go, it means that you have to endure the targeting from the family. It is just a small matter that your strength will not be recognized for a lifetime. They do not have the willful privilege of being spared.

The warm sun in April sprinkles in the courtyard and falls on her body.

But Mayi feels that everything around her is extremely cold.

The fine coolness climbs up from her limbs and gradually spreads to her torso.

Everything I saw was colorless like a black and white photo, only Maki still had color.

Standing in the center of my sight, I stared at Mayi with a calm, firm look.

Still the same as always. No matter what happens, I stand in front and move forward without hesitation.

I hate you like this.

"…Ha." Mayi made some sounds as if she wanted to exhale the cold air in her chest.

Maki seemed to want just this, and she immediately gave the reason: "Before that guy left, he didn't graduate from Jujutsu High School, but chose to drop out."

"I must find out why he left, chase him and bring him back."

"In this way--"

"Don't you know it yet!?" Mayi clenched her fists, as if to shatter Maki's unrealistic fantasy, and shouted from the bottom of her heart with all her strength: "That person left because we are in the way! That's why he didn't take us with him!"

"What's the reason for leaving? You already know it, don't you!"

"Do you have to chase him? Are you satisfied only when you are really hated! Why can't you be with me--"

Mayi lowered her head, her black hair covering her eyes and the tears that were about to fall, and her trembling body relaxed several times.

She lowered her voice and said in a voice that was almost pleading: "It's okay to just listen to everyone's orders and do some chores. It's easier this way than to continue working hard."

"Enough, what I want to do has nothing to do with you." Maki turned her head away and stopped looking at her.

"If you don't want to work hard, just do it yourself. I won't force you."

No need to stay together anymore.

No need to work hard anymore.

Degradation or struggle. Maki has no intention of forcibly holding Mayi and letting her move forward according to her own ideas.

But it is such a free choice.

On the contrary, it makes Mayi feel painful.

"...It's all your fault."

Maki gave her a reason to work hard, otherwise she would be holding back.

Gintoki gave her a reason to move forward with Maki, otherwise she would resent him for not being able to go back.

Say something like never letting go and staying together.

Say something like you will definitely come back.

In the end.

The person you love the most, you have to hate him.

Maki turned around and left without a word of argument.

There was no need to think about it, she must have gone to Zenin Naohito to tell him about her goal.

Maki stared at the back, and unknowingly it overlapped with the vague back of her childhood.

Will the figure who was about to leave come back this time?

To come back or not to come back, after they left, Maki suddenly couldn't tell which side she was looking forward to.

It was so slight that it seemed that only the vocal cords trembled like a sigh, and evenA voice that could not be heard in the air slipped out of her mouth.

"Liar."

Maki walked unwaveringly on the road to study at Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

There was no way to let go of Mayi's hand, and it didn't matter if she was resented.

This was something that had to be done.

Mayi certainly didn't think about it.

She just accepted Zenin Naoya's request submissively, consciously regarded it as a way to live well, and suppressed herself to endure it.

Now it's just tolerable chores.

After all, they still have some care thanks to that person, and their lives are not so bad that they can't live.

But what should I do in the future?

She is still a beautiful woman with skills, magic power, and some looks, so when she gets older, can she be given to Zenin Naoya to kill time?

She can still be used as a mother to breed a sorcerer, and has some reproductive value, so as a tool of the Zenin family, which sorcerer family can be married to in exchange for benefits?

Don't joke!

What a rotten future that is! How can I accept it!

Maki will go find that person.

Maki will definitely find out where Mayi will end up.

Whether she returns to Zenin's house to change things there, or grows up and creates a new home outside.

A sister will definitely protect her sister.

Mayi doesn't have to do anything, just wait there for a while.

As for the possibility that Maki failed.

...Then don't be sad for your sister who ran away from home, it's a natural result.

Maki put the bag of cursed tools at her feet, and gathered with Panda and Inumaki Saki from the same class in the dormitory building, and simply dealt with a lunch before continuing training.

Otsutsukoshi Yuta, who had just enrolled, looked at their number in confusion, and counted the rooms on the first floor.

"Panda, are there any classmates who haven't come yet? Or seniors?"

"Yes," Panda raised his paw: "There are two seniors from our previous class, but we can hardly see them on weekdays."

"Salmon." Gojumaki Ji nodded in affirmation, took out a rice ball from his lunch, and pushed it to Otsutsuki, who came in a hurry and definitely didn't prepare any food.

"Thank you, Gojumaki." Otsutsuki didn't care whether Jujutsu High School had a cafeteria or not, and pulled out a chair to eat lunch with them: "Then for the seniors, there should be a room occupied."

"..." Panda was strangely silent, his huge body remained motionless, and his small eyes quickly swept over Maki.

"What are you doing? I'm not a river beast." Maki looked back at him with an unpredictable look.

"Sometimes women are scarier than river beasts." Panda shuddered obviously.

"Salmon..." Gojumaki's voice came through the cloth covering his chin.

"Is that so..." Otsutsuki stopped asking questions embarrassedly.

It seems that he has stepped on her minefield again. There must be someone on the first floor of the dormitory building that Maki cares about.

As expected...

Otsutsuki has not had time to think deeply.

Maki has already picked up the wooden stick next to him and hit him on the head with a skillful and smooth movement.

"Don't think too much."

"The most remote room is that guy's room."
