Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King.

After the explanation.

Nanami Kento was the first to step into the cinema door.

Yuji Itadori and Yu Haibara followed closely behind.

Theater control room.

A policeman in a suit is complaining:

"Who are those guys?!"

“Why were they allowed into the scene before the people from the Identification Department arrived?!”

"Besides, except for the blond-haired adult who looks more reliable, the other two are still little brats, right?!"

talking.

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

“I don’t know the details.”

"But you saw it, the tragic scene."

"That's beyond human nature. Just turn a blind eye if you still want to do this job until retirement."

The bald policeman in the shirt smoked the cigarette into his lungs.

at the same time.

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

after that.

He shook the ember off his cigarette.

He has the look of a seasoned veteran who doesn't care about anything.

Computer monitoring.

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

The scene of the incident in the cinema.

There are yellow seals everywhere.

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

"Can you see it?"

Kento Nanami pointed to the yellow seal on the seats where the three high school students died, extending all the way to the road at the exit of the screening room.

"No, not at all."

Yuji Itadori looked confused and could only see the clean ground.

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

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

"As long as you use the technique, it will leave traces, and that is filth."

"But compared to the cursed spirits that we can see at a glance, the curse attached to the filth is much thinner."

"You need to concentrate and look carefully."

The words paused.

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

"Imagine that we are playing a baseball game. The cursed spirit is the pitcher, the residue left by the cursed spirit is the baseball that is about to be thrown, and you are the catcher."

"Think back to that feeling of intense concentration, then try it again."

According to Nanami Kento's suggestion.

Yuji Itadori quickly got into the state.

Focus your eyes and look toward the ground.

Suddenly.

In his field of vision.

The ground was originally very clean.

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."

Nanami Kento raised a light smile of relief, and warned in time: "But only if you can detect the aura before you see it, can you stand on your own."

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

talking.

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

"Nana Ming, really~"

After passing through the yellow seal, Yuji Itadori complained with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Can't you praise me a little more, give me some encouragement or something~"

Put your hands in your pockets.

The lights in the corridor illuminated the reliable figure of Nanami Kento.

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."

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

Suddenly I realized that I had strayed from the topic.

Nanami Kento interrupted in time and turned back to say, "Let's stop talking about this topic. We need to catch up."

"Ugh?"

Yuji Itadori was puzzled: "Aren't we waiting for Haibara-senpai?"

"unnecessary."

Nanami Kento pointed at his headset and said calmly, "Habara 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 spirits has already begun before the battle."

"There's no need to put a reliable and well-hidden trump card like this on the table right from the start. He's operating in the dark, so even if we encounter a strong enemy, we'll be able to move forward and backward more easily."

"Oh!"

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

"can."

"But only a little bit."

"Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. There is no need for us to fight to the end. We only have one life, so we should do what we can. Let's go."

A stagger.

Yuji Itadori sighed in frustration: "Hi~"

"Unlike Haibara-senpai, I always feel like I don't get along with Nana Akira."

"No response..."

a month ago.

Tokyo Technical College.

"I'm so sorry, Yuji-san, I originally wanted to teach you personally."

“But recently, both the college and the coffee shop have been quite busy.”

"And the matter of my two adopted daughters studying abroad all got squeezed in."

on the desk.

Suguru Geto, whose side bangs were almost curled up into a clumping mass, barely poked his head out from the pile of documents and looked at Yuji Itadori standing opposite him.

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

"what......"

Yuji Itadori was puzzled: "Who is Uncle Getsuyu's junior?"

Boom boom boom!

At this time.

There was a knock on the door.

Xia Youjie smiled and said, "They are already here, please come in!"

Entering the door.

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

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

"Oh!"

"Sashibulidana~Gasyu Senbei!" The energetic young man waved his hand excitedly and greeted.

"Kayu-senpai."

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

Xia Youjie stood up, hooked the shoulders of the blond man and the energetic man familiarly, and introduced them:

"This is Nanami Kento, a first-class magician who has made up his mind not to be a salaryman."

"This is Haibara Yuu, who has many brothers and sisters to take care of. He is also a 'first level'."

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

Huiyuan Xiong: "Hello, be my younger brother!"

"what?"

Yuji Itadori was stunned.

Xia Yujie explained:

"Habara is just used to taking care of the younger generation as their younger brothers and sisters. Don't mind it."

"Spellcasters are not like ordinary people. As they deal with cursed spirits more, their personalities are usually more distinctive. The more powerful the spellcaster, the more distinctive this is. This helps them maintain their identity."

“These two people are not teachers at the technical college, but after graduation, they have been active based at the technical college.”

"Nanaha even went to work at the company during this period. He is a very reliable and mature adult."

"Grandma-senpai, you flatter me."

"I'm still a long way from being mature."

Nanami Kento pushed his glasses and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
