Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King.

End of memories.

Yoshino Junpei suddenly said:

"Did the first person who said 'The antonym of liking is indifference' go to hell?"

"It is impossible to treat others with 'malice' rather than 'indifference'."

"The opposite of like is hate. Japanese people love to do this. They love to complicate simple issues."

"That's not what the Japanese said," the real person corrected him, "I'm talking about the rumor."

"Ok?"

"Originally, the foreigner said, 'The antonym of love is indifference,' right?"

"'Love' has many definitions, so the antonym can be defined as 'indifference'."

"I guess so." The real person shrugged.

Yoshino Junpei continued: "However, Japanese people don't usually use the word "love", so in this country, it unconsciously becomes "like"."

"Whether the antonyms of 'love' and 'indifference' can be established was not considered in depth at all, and it was just spread like this."

"Everyone likes to play with words, because humans can't survive without excuses."

As the real person spoke, he led Yoshino Junpei into the depths of the sewer.

The end of the corner.

It was a dark purple "alien" that was so bloated and huge that it completely blocked the passage.

"This is?"

"An experiment to test how big humans can become."

"On the contrary, this is how small it can become."

talking.

The real person threw an unknown object the size of a thumb to Junpei Yoshino.

"This is... a human?"

Looking at the ghost face jerky in his hand, Yoshino Junpei was surprised for a moment, but soon calmed down.

See this.

Masato asked curiously, "Junpei, are you used to seeing corpses? Your reaction after learning the truth was calmer than I expected."

"How should I put it..." Yoshino Junpei returned the ghost-faced meat jerky to Masato: "If this were my mother, I would probably lose my mind and hate Mr. Masato."

"Ugh?"

"Shunping still has a mother~"

The real person exclaimed in surprise, with an almost imperceptible evil arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Ah."

"But I know very well that human nature is ugly, so I don't have any expectations of others, and I don't have any thoughts about their death."

“Indifference is the ultimate human virtue.”

"You, who are like this, want revenge." The real person sighed.

"Are you trying to say that I'm contradicting myself?" Yoshino Junpei asked.

The real person answered by asking: "Does Shunping think that people have a 'heart'?"

"No...?"

"No~"

The real person narrowed his eyes and brows: "People have a 'soul', but it is not a 'heart'."

"How could that be?" Yoshino Junpei was puzzled.

"I am the only one in the world who understands the structure of the soul, and I can change the form of a creature by touching its soul."

"Happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are all products of the metabolism of the soul. Calling them the heart is too mechanical."

“People think too highly of things they can’t see.”

"To me, who can see, the soul is no different from the body. It just exists here."

"You understand? Life itself has no value or weight."

"Like water between heaven and earth, life is just a cycle of circulation."

"You and I are the same, meaningless and worthless."

"Because of this, you are free to do whatever you want and live however you want."

"Junpei, you are free."

“Don’t let yourself be constrained by the ideal of ‘not caring.’”

"There is no need for people to live in the same way all the time, just like eating when you are hungry and killing when you are disgusted."

"I will affirm everything about Shunpei."

The heterochromatic eyes exuded a bewitching charm, and the real person looked at Yoshino Junpei with a gentle smile, and at the same time crushed the ghost mask dried meat in his hand.

Yoshino Junpei could feel that there was sincerity in his smile.

Unlike that fake-smiling guy, who is full of hypocrisy.

……

Mao Ni Office.

"The people who have disappeared recently and those who have died mysteriously have all been compiled into a filthy report by the Window."

"Yes, and I have also visited all these places and have basically locked down the enemy's strongholds."

In front of a map posted on a blackboard.

Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu were speaking in unison.

Yi Zhidi Jiegao stood obediently at the door with his hands folded in his pockets.

Yuji Itadori put his hands in his pockets and leaned on a table very relaxedly.

"well!"

"So do we need to rush in now?" asked Yuji Itadori excitedly.

"Do not."

Nanami Kento denied: "It's just the 'basics'. I will continue to investigate the details. Haibara and Yuji-san have other jobs."

talking.

Kento Nanami pinned a photo of a bullied boy with semi-long black hair and bangs covering his eyes on the map.

"The boy who appeared in the cinema at that time was Yoshino Junpei."

"He was a classmate of two of the victims at the same high school, and the remaining victim had also beaten and extorted him many times."

Use the remote control to turn on the surveillance video.

The picture shows Junpei Yoshino running out of a movie theater.

"From the surveillance video and his behavior, the possibility that he is a curser is very low, but if there is a connection between him and the victim, that is another matter."

"Curser?"

Yuji Itadori was puzzled, as this was another term he had never heard of before.

Nanami Kento put one hand on his waist and explained, "He is still a sorcerer in essence, but his actions are of a bad nature, which is equivalent to a criminal among sorcerers."

"Which way has more goods?"

Yuji Itadori sighed: "People like this can be found in every group."

"I have already explained the follow-up arrangements to Ichichi and Haibara. I'd like to trouble you three to investigate Yoshino Junpei together."

As a team leader.

Nanami Kento gave the final order.

"Oh!" x2

The three of them stood in a row in front of Nanami Kento and saluted him like soldiers going into battle.

"By the way, I don't even know anyone who assists in supervising other than Mr. Ichichi."

"Well~"

Ichichi Jiegao narrowed his wise eyes and said frankly: "Because Tokyo High School is notorious, everyone who can run away ran away in order to prolong their careers."

"The remaining few have also gone to assist the normal magicians of the non-Chanyuan Future Sect."

"Ugh?!"

Yuji Itadori exclaimed in dissatisfaction: "Does that mean I'm abnormal?! I feel like I'm quite normal?!"

Yizhidi Jiegao heard this.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he grumbled quietly: "Which normal magician would swallow a special-grade cursed object, especially that Ryoumen Sukuna = ="

"Well~"

"do not care!"

Yuji Itadori got rid of his mental exhaustion in a second, raised his hand and shouted: "Ikuzo!" (Let's go!)

"That's it!"

"A big pocket, let's burn our youth!"

Yu Haibara hugged Yuji Itadori's shoulders tightly, and at the same time, a shadow flashed in his eyes and his gaze stayed on Kento Nanami for a moment.

immediately.

The two of them were shouting all the way, like lunatics.

People on the road were all trying to avoid it.

"what......"

Looking at the two people walking away arm in arm, Yi Zhidi Jiegao sighed softly. He always had a bad feeling.

The three of them left the meeting room.

Nanami Kento was left standing there in silence.

The voices are fading...

Ichichi Jiegao suddenly turned around, revealing his upper body from the doorway, looked at Nanami Kento, and asked, "It's not 'basically', in fact, Mr. Nanami and Mr. Huihara already know it."
