Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King.

sewer.

Masato was still thinking about the battle he had just had with Nanami Kento.

despair!despair!despair!

A backstreet girl in a miniskirt and belly-baring top walked slowly towards him with a cute cat step.

"Kensuo?"

With a smile and a nod, he glanced at the broken brick wall on the battlefield, whistled, and said jokingly: "It was a great fight~"

“Hahahahaha!” The real person laughed happily: “It doesn’t match his appearance at all. That magician is too cunning. Even I was tricked and almost fell.”

"But, that guy was very interesting and I learned a lot from him."

"Even if you are chopped to pieces, as long as you maintain the shape of your soul, you won't die, and the consumption of your magic power is well within the range where you can replenish it yourself."

"I really have to thank Zenin Mirai. It is because of his strength that I don't have to worry about the loss of my cursed energy, as long as it is not instantly wiped out by a stronger cursed energy."

"Also, there is no risk in transforming your soul in any way you want."

talking.

Masato transformed his left index finger into a scalpel: "Next time I'll try something more daring."

"Which way has more goods?"

"Looking forward to your growth"

……

In the car.

Ichichi Jiegao sat in the right-hand driving seat with a dazed look on his face. He had just finished a call with Yamabuki Otome.

On the left-hand passenger seat was the fly that he had finally caught and put back into the cage.

Drop drop-

The phone rang again.

Ichichi Jiegao was shocked and thought that Yamabuki Otome was attacking again.

He picked it up and saw that it was Yuji Itadori.

"Moshimoshi, Yuji-san?"

"Mr. Ichichi, it's actually like this..."

"......What?!"

"You went to Yoshino Junpei's house?! That's too——"

"Dumb tape, dumb tape~ Then I'm going to have dinner first."

"Still having dinner?!"

"A more serious incident suddenly occurred here, and I can't go there right away."

"Yuji-san, if you feel something is wrong, please run away immediately. Even if Yoshino Junpei is related to the murderer of that incident, you should have enough room to maneuver now."

"Oh!"

"Don't worry, Shunping is a very nice person!"

"If you run into Nanami and Haibara-senpai, tell them not to wait for me!"

"That's it, bye~"

Beep beep—hang up!

"what......"

Putting down his phone, Yizhi Dijiegao slumped down in the driver's seat and said, "As a supervisor, I am such a failure."

"It's okay to deal with the lazy Mr. Gojo and the free-wheeling Mr. Zenin, but what if I get scolded by the adult among adults, Mr. Nanami?"

"But Yamabuki-san is..."

Hesitated again and again.

Ichichi Jiegao still called Nanami Kento.

After listening to Ichichi Jiegao's complaints, Nanami Kento said calmly: "Don't worry about Yuji-san. Huibara and I are already watching him secretly."

"Is Mr. Huihara here too? That's great!" Ichichi Jiegao said in surprise, "You haven't been back for so long, I thought you had a 'car accident'."

"Ichidi-san, can't you just think of me a little bit?"

From the other end of the line came Huiyuan Xiong's complaining voice: "I'm not simply speeding up, my reflexes are also growing synchronously, how could there be such a speeding accident = ="

"Well~"

Yi Zhidi Jiegao smiled awkwardly.

Nanami Kento's voice once again takes the lead:

"I have a general understanding of Yamabuki-san's incident."

"The principal of Kyoto is still staying at Tokyo Technical High School, researching the mystery of the Zen temple senior's coma."

"If this matter is not handled properly, Yamabuki-san may be ordered to self-execute or receive other bad orders from the senior management of the technical college."

"She is a transfer student from Kyoto. Whether she executes the order or not, it will be disadvantageous to us."

"Ichichi, I'll leave the comfort of Yamabuki-san in your hands."

"If you don't want to be beaten and cried by Zenin-senpai who wakes up later."

"Hi!!"

hang up the phone.

Ichichi Jiegao didn't know whether he was moved or scared, but tears were streaming down his face. He stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the direction where Yamabuki Otome was.

the other side.

After Nanami Kento hung up the phone.

His sight once again followed the open window to the people who were talking and laughing in the house.

him at this time.

Waiting on the rooftop opposite Yoshinoya.

Whoosh——

Like lightning, Huihara Yuu appeared beside him and threw him a bottle of water and a box of steaming sushi.

Sitting down next to Nanami Kento, Huihara Yu also looked into the house, holding a piece of bread in his mouth, and asked unclearly: "How is it? Miss Yamabuki's side."

"Although the situation is a bit serious, it's not a big deal. Even if Zenin-senpai is not here, there is Geto-senpai in charge of the high school. Ichichi is experienced and he will handle it."

After taking a bite of sushi, Nanami Kento continued, "The final verdict should still be self-defense, as long as the senior officials of the high commission don't want to commit suicide."

"There are more of them." Huiyuan Xiong nodded with confidence.

"By the way, I still don't know the details of Nanami's previous encounter with the cursed spirit. What was the spell of that cursed spirit? How powerful was the curse? How smart was it?"

It couldn't be better to be a test subject~ I'm so lucky!

Recalling the words and deeds of the real person, Nanami Kento commented solemnly: "The cursed spirit is still a child. I'm afraid it hasn't been long since the curse was cast. He is growing greedily and enjoying it."

"The 'special grade' cursed spirit that fought Zenin-senpai has already learned the ability to expand his territory. If that guy is still alive, he will probably grow to this level in no time."

"Plus, the number of victims far exceeded our expectations. If we don't fully confirm that he has been exorcised, it may become an irreversible situation."

"Ugh?"

Huiyuan Xiong asked in surprise: "Has Nanami already accepted that it's still alive?"

"Geckos will cut off their tails to survive when they encounter a serious crisis." Nanami Kento said calmly, without commenting.

"Compared to the strength of the cursed spirit encountered by Senior Zen Temple, I would rather believe that I only cut off a part of its tail, or even just a tip of the huge iceberg that was deliberately revealed."

Inside Yoshinoya.

"And then!"

Yoshino Nagi asked with a laugh, her cheeks slightly tipsy.

"Then Aaron said confidently - this is the larvae of an alien species, it might be poisonous, don't touch it!"

"When I picked it up, I saw that it was just a piece of konjac stick covered in dust and from the cafeteria lunch."

"Hahahahahaha..." Yoshino Nagi slammed the table and laughed. A few drops of clear yellow beer spilled out of the can of beer in her hand, falling directly on her collarbone and flowing down the cleft.

"Did you hear that?"

"Konjac sticks, they are konjac sticks!"

Looking at his drunken mother across the table, Yoshino Junpei was speechless: "Ka-san, you've drunk too much = ="

"Oh~ Hisahito is so interesting. If he were my son, Junpei wouldn't be so lonely since he was a child."

"Ka-san..."
