Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King

After the explanation.

Nanami Kento was the first to step into the theater.

Yuji Itadori and Haibara Yu followed closely.

Theater control room.

A policeman in a suit was complaining:

"Who are those guys?!"

"Why did they let them into the scene before the identification department arrived?!"

"Besides, except for the adult with golden hair who looks more reliable, the other two are still kids, right?!"

Said.

The policeman in a suit turned his head to look at his bald colleague in a white shirt who was investigating the surveillance at the computer desk.

"I don't know the details."

"But you saw it, the miserable situation."

"That is beyond the scope of human beings. Turn a blind eye if you still want to do this job until retirement."

The bald policeman in a shirt smoked into his lungs.

At the same time.

He did not forget to give a second-hand cigarette to his colleague next to him.

Afterwards.

He shook the embers on the cigarette butt.

He looked like a seasoned veteran who didn't care who he was.

Computer monitoring.

The scene of Yuji Itadori and others entering the theater was being played in real time.

The scene of the incident in the theater.

Yellow seals were everywhere.

Haihara Yu used his speed advantage to search for possible clues in other theaters, while Yuji Itadori and Nanami Kento conducted a detailed investigation in the theater where the incident occurred.

"Can you see it?"

Nanami Kento pointed to the yellow seals on the seats where the three high school students died, which extended all the way to the road at the exit of the theater.

"No, not at all."

Yuji Itadori looked puzzled and could only see the clean floor.

"That's because you didn't want to see it."

Nanami Kento put one hand in his pocket and brushed the other hand across the seat where the incident occurred: "We usually confirm the curse with our vision as a matter of course."

"As long as the ritual is used, it will leave traces, and that is the remnant."

"But compared to the cursed spirits that we can see at a glance, the curses attached to the remnants are much thinner."

"You have to concentrate and look carefully."

The voice paused.

Nanami Kento suddenly recalled the title of the strongest athlete before Yuji Itadori entered the high school, and guided:

"Imagine that we are now participating in a baseball game, the cursed spirit is the serve, the remnants left by the cursed spirit are the baseballs that are about to be thrown, and you are the catcher."

"Recall the feeling of being highly concentrated, and then try to look at it again."

According to Nanami Kento's suggestion.

Yuji Itadori quickly entered the state.

His eyes focused and looked at the ground.

Suddenly.

In his field of vision.

The originally clean and unusual ground.

A dozen dark purple male footprints appeared.

"Oh!"

"I saw it! I saw it!"

Yuji Itadori shouted excitedly, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

"Of course."

Nanaha Kento's mouth curled up slightly with a gratified arc, and he warned in time: "But only if you can detect the breath before you see it, you can be independent."

"You still have a long way to go, it's too early to be happy now."

Said.

Nanami Kento leaned over and passed through the yellow seal at the door of the screening room, followed the guidance of the cursed and filthy footprints, and walked out of the cinema.

"Nana Ming is really~"

After passing through the yellow seal, Yuji Itadori laughed and complained, saying coquettishly: "Can't you praise a few more words, encourage and encourage~"

Hands in pockets.

The lights in the corridor reflected Nanami Kento's reliable back.

He said calmly: "I will neither praise nor belittle you, and I will not relax my requirements on you just because you are the son of a senior in the Zen temple."

"Follow the facts and be strict with myself. This is me, although I once mistakenly thought that society was also like this..."

Suddenly realized that I had strayed from the topic.

Nanami Kento stopped talking in time and turned around and said, "Let's stop talking about this topic. We have to catch up."

"Huh?"

Yuji Itadori wondered, "Aren't we waiting for Haibara-senpai?"

"No need."

Nanami Kento pointed to his headset and said calmly, "Haibara is very fast. As long as he doesn't leave a certain range of the theater, we just need to call him and he will appear immediately."

"The game with the cursed spirit has already begun before the battle."

"There is no need to put a trump card like this that is both reliable and easy to hide on the table at the beginning. He acts in the dark, and even if we encounter a strong enemy, we will be able to advance and retreat more freely."

"Oh!"

Yuji Itadori crossed his fists and palms: "Then cheer up!"

"Yes."

"But only a little bit."

"Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to support it. We don't need to fight to the end. We only have one life. Just do what we can. Let's go."

A stumble.

Yuji Itadori sighed in frustration:"Hi~"

'Unlike senior Haibara, I always feel that I'm a little out of sync with Nana Ming. '

'No response when I speak...'

One month ago.

Tokyo Technical High School.

"I'm very sorry, Yuji-san, I wanted to teach you in person."

"But recently, both the technical high school and the coffee shop have been busy."

"And my two adopted daughters' study abroad are all squeezed together."

On the desk.

With his side bangs almost curled up into a pile, Geto Sutsubo barely showed his head from the pile of documents and looked at Yuji Yutsubo across from him.

"But don't worry, I called a trustworthy junior."

"Ha..."

Yuji Yutsubo was puzzled: "Who is Uncle Sutsubo's junior?"

Knock, knock, knock!

At this time.

There was a knock on the door.

Geto Sutsubo smiled and said, "They are here, please come in!"

Entered the door.

He is a blond mature man who looks very serious at first glance, wearing a white suit and leopard print tie.

And another energetic young man who looks like a high school student, wearing a leather jacket and jeans.

"Oh!"

"Sashibulidana~Gatsuyu Senbei!" The energetic young man waved excitedly and greeted.

"Gatsuyu-senpai."

The blond man seemed much calmer and nodded slightly to Geto.

Geto stood up, hooked the shoulders of the blond and energetic man, and introduced:

"This is Nanami Kento, a 'first-level' magician who has made up his mind not to be an office worker."

"This is Haibara Yuu, who has many younger brothers and sisters to support at home, and is also 'first-level'."

Nanami Kento: "Please don't use this term = ="

Huibara Yuu: "Hello, be my younger brother!"

"Huh?"

Yuji Itadori was stunned.

Geto Xiayou explained:

"Haihara is just used to taking care of the younger generation as younger brothers and sisters, don't mind it."

"Spellcasters are not like ordinary people. They deal with cursed spirits more often, so their personalities are generally more distinctive. The more powerful the spellcaster, the more so. This is more conducive to maintaining their own identity."

"These two are not teachers in the technical college, but after graduation, they have been active in the technical college."

"Nanami also went to work in the company during the period. He is a very reliable and mature adult."

"Senior Xiayou, you are too kind."

"Maturity is something, I am still far from it."

Nanami Kento pushed his glasses, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
