Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King

After parting with Gojo Satoru.

Kagome led Tennen Riko and Kuroi Miri.

Going down through the special elevator inside the technical college, deep underground.

Listening to the grinding sound of the iron chain.

Looking at the endless darkness in front of them.

The three people with different expressions were silent.

Suddenly.

There was a crisp sound of "ding".

Reminded the three people.

The elevator has reached the bottom floor.

Kagome stepped out first.

Tennen Riko's steps were slow.

The whole person was in a state of trance.

Silently followed behind her.

Kuroi Miri did not continue to follow after getting out of the elevator, but bowed deeply to Tennen Riko with tears in her eyes.

"Miss Riko, I can only take you here~"

"Please... please..."

As she spoke.

Kuroi Miri choked up.

Her voice trembled~

Obviously she was deeply in love.

It's hard to control myself!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Three steps in two.

Tennen Riko came back to her senses instantly.

She turned around and threw herself into Kuroi Miri's arms, crying hard!

"Kuroi, I love you the most!"

"Always..."

"Always..."

Tears fell from her eyes.

Kuroi Miri hugged the delicate girl in her arms tightly, crying the same feeling: "Me too... I love you the most too!"

Looking back at the two people who were hugging each other and crying bitterly,

They didn't look like mother and daughter, but they were better than mother and daughter.

A gentle smile appeared on Xia Yujie's face.

With the bond of this family affection.

I guess.

The girl has recognized her truest thoughts~

For a long time.

The two parted with Kuroi Miri.

Passed through a tunnel-like passage.

Came to an unusually open underground space.

Not far away.

A towering tree is surrounded by layers of circular palaces, mysterious, simple, elegant, obscure...

"This is..."

Amazing at the magnificent landscape in front of her, Tennen Riko was speechless for a moment.

"That's right~ This is where Lord Tengen is, the foundation of the main barrier in the country-the main hall of Hongxing Palace."

"Go down the stairs, pass through the gate, and reach the root of the tree."

"You will enter a special barrier that is completely different from the barrier around the high school. Only invited people can enter."

"After that, Lord Tengen will protect you until you are assimilated with her."

"Or..."

The voice paused.

Xia Yujie showed a gentle smile and raised his hand to put on Tennen Riko's little head.

"Or, you can go back and go home with Miss Kuroi now."

Hearing this.

Tennen Riko's originally depressed face suddenly turned into surprise.

"Is it really possible..."

"Is this kind of thing really possible?"

"The other party is the greatest Tengen-sama in the world of sorcery!"

"It will definitely implicate you and everything else!"

"It's not worth offending such a big shot for an insignificant character like me!"

Tenchi Riko's voice trembled.

Tears fell like pearls.

In her superficial understanding.

Tengen-sama is not only the greatest figure in the world of sorcery.

He is also the most powerful sorcerer with the most outstanding strength!

A friend who has only known each other for three days is willing to offend such an authority for her...

When she thought of this.

Tenchi Riko's tear glands were like a dam that was completely opened.

Silver beads rolled.

Like a waterfall!

Those are pearls of enthusiasm.

Those are diamonds of friendship.

He rubbed the girl's hair.

Xiayou Jie smiled confidently:

"Haven't I said it before?"

"Satoru and I are the 'strongest'!"

"Tengen and the like are nothing soft!"

"When the class teacher gave us the task, he deliberately said 'assimilation' instead of 'obliteration', just to make us feel strongly guilty about it."

"Our class teacher seems to be simple-minded and strong-limbed, but he always likes to beat around the bush like this."

"Even if he didn't say that, after understanding the specific content of the task, Satoru and I would still make the same decision-"

"As long as you refuse to 'assimilate', Satoru and I will support you without reservation and send you to the future you want, even if we have to go to war with Lord Tengen!"

"Slanted bangs... No, Jie, I..." Looking at Xiayou Jie's gentle, handsome and confident face, Tennen Riko was moved to a blurry vision.

Since she was born.

Someone kept telling the girl-you are special, different from everyone else.

Therefore.

She was early to 'special'Just get used to it.

Growing up till now.

She tries to avoid danger as much as possible.

Live only for this day.

I have long forgotten what happened when my parents died.

I will not feel sad or lonely.

So.

The girl thinks that even if she is assimilated and separated from everyone, it should not matter.

No matter how painful it is.

One day.

Sadness and loneliness will disappear, all disappear.

But...

But -

As expected...

Still -

"I want to be with everyone again!!!"

"I want to go to various places with everyone again!!!"

"See various things!!!"

"I want to..."

Listening to the girl's heartfelt cry for help, the smile on Xiayou Jie's face became more gentle.

He happily stretched out his right hand and invited the girl: "Let's go back together~ Riko-chan."

Looking at the hand that rescued her from the deep sea where she drowned, Tennen Riko smiled and hummed with tears in the corners of her eyes.

Then.

She happily stretched out her right hand, wanting to grab her new future...

But at this moment.

Bang!

Blood splashed from her head.

The girl fell to the ground.

"Riko-chan?!"

Ding Ding Clang Clang!

The sound of the metal shell hitting the ground was so crisp, but it sounded so cold and sharp to Geto Xia Yu!

His pupils suddenly shrank after realizing it belatedly!

Geto Xia Yu's palm stretched in the air couldn't stop shaking!

He turned his head angrily and looked at the red figure that suddenly appeared at the entrance of Hongxing Palace!

"Get up!!!" (You guy!!!)

"Yeah, yeah~ This thing is quite useful."

Shaking the black and gold matte version of Desert Eagle in his hand, Uchiha Madara completely revealed his figure from a shadow.

Glancing at Tennariko who was no longer "moving" after being shot on the ground, he looked at Geto Suguru jokingly and consoled him, "Thank you for your hard work~ It's time to call it a day."

Full of disbelief, Geto Suguru asked in astonishment, "Why are you here?!"

"Ah? Why?" Uchiha Madara seemed to be recalling how many pieces of bread he had chewed, and suddenly understood, "Oh~ That's what you mean!"

With healthy white teeth exposed, Uchiha Madara grinned with an extremely sadistic smile and declared:

"Of course it's because--"

"That six-eyed brat has been crushed to death by me like an ant!"

"..."

Not erupting in silence.

Just perish in silence!

In the void behind Geto Suguru.

A dark mosaic suddenly appeared!

Rainbow Dragon, Slit-mouthed Woman, Incarnation of Tamamonomae...

Among the cursed spirits subdued by the "Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique", the strongest ones, with the swing of the red nunchaku in Geto's hand, suddenly pounced on the seemingly flawed and rebellious figure opposite!

"Really?"

"Then you go to hell!"
