Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King.

"Mechanical Pill!!!"

boom--

Sparks and lightning all the way, light cannons and hand knives.

"Ultimate Mechanical Maru Type-0" successfully dives in front of the real person and explodes instantly!

The damage was not great, only blowing up a small part of the body of the bloated, grotesque worm-shaped real person, but the dazzling white light deprived him of almost all of his vision.

"What the hell is this puppet!"

The real person cursed softly, and only after his pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole could he barely see the way ahead in the continuous flash of white light.

But see.

A ghostly figure with red eyes, claws torn apart and howling like a wolf and a tiger, pounced towards him, almost occupying his entire field of vision.

"Wash your inner skin!!!" (Die!!!)

"Ah hehehehehe!!!"

The real person laughed wildly and shouted with Xingji, and the figures of the two sides instantly intertwined...

A quiet afternoon.

The chirping of sparrows out foraging for food can still be faintly heard.

The dim sunlight shone into the spacious storage room of the second-year classroom of Kyoto High School through the sliding glass windows that occupied almost the entire wall.

After Ultimate Mechamaru entered school, this room almost became his exclusive room.

now.

The girl and the puppet sat on a bench.

The tranquil atmosphere is slowly spreading.

After hesitating for a long time, Kasumi Miwa finally mustered up the courage and asked the Ultimate Mecha Maru who she thought was "asleep":

"Hey, Mechamaru, can I come visit you when I'm free?"

"..."

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence."

Under the sunlight.

A cute expression of smug joy appeared on the girl's face.

She intertwined her fingers, and the base of her fair jade fingers, which had yellowed training marks from excessive sword swinging, pressed against each other and rubbed anxiously.

"..."

The Ultimate Mechanical Maru happened to be in a dark corner where the sunlight could not reach. He maintained the heroic sitting posture with his hands on his chest and legs crossed as he made his last speech, and remained silent the whole time.

He lowered his head.

The smile on Sanlunxia's face gradually faded.

Her clear eyes were like the crystal clear surface of a lake, rippling with the wind blowing from nowhere, sparkling and rippling with moving light blue arcs.

"That exchange meeting... after the baseball game, I felt like I was suddenly much closer to everyone."

"It may be an occupational disease of the sorcerer. Although we used to get along well, we still kept a distance from each other."

"After all, if the relationship is too good, it will be painful when we part."

The thumb kept circling nervously, and Sanlun Xia seemed to have noticed something, and sighed in a trembling voice:

"I feel like Zenin Sensai is really amazing. He seems to have a magical power that can bring everyone together."

"I really like the close relationship we have now. Next time I meet him, I will thank him."

"You couldn't play in the baseball game, and they used a pitching machine to replace you."

Tick! Tick! Tick!

"I...want to be closer to you, too."

"Not the mechanical pill, but the real you."

"future......"

"I will definitely come to see you."

"Taka-la--" (So--)

"do not die!!!"

Tears welled up.

Love stops like rain.

The battlefield is hundreds of kilometers away.

The girl's cries were transmitted through the Ultimate Mechamaru and reached the ears of Kokichi, who was wearing the Ultimate Mechamaru Armor.

now.

The outcome has been decided.

The dim sunlight illuminated the broken body of the "Ultimate Mecha Maru: Prototype Zero", which lay powerlessly on its side on a mountainside with its back to the sun.

The shadow it casts.

As Kokichi fell to the ground helplessly, all ten "Simple Fields" mounted on his armored fingertips had been fired.

not far away.

The cursed body of the real person is rapidly dissolving.

But when his head was about to collapse, before Xingji could be happy, a naked prison foot trampled on his head, splashing dark purple blood.

Follow that prison foot.

Kokichi and I moved our gaze slightly upwards.

But see.

The one who trampled the real person's head to pieces was actually another real person whose body was intact.

"How could this be?!" Yukichi was immediately shocked.

The real person walked up to him with a sadistic smile, and one of his hands expanded to the size of the Hulk, tightly grasped the neck of Xingji, and lifted him up like a chicken: "Ah~ Accident?"

The corners of his mouth stretched to his ears, and he couldn't hide his excitement. "Hahahahaha, it's very simple. As long as I use the spell to split my soul in advance, I can achieve the effect of a perfect clone."

At this time.

The lasso appeared from nowhere and came to the side of the real person.

"Isn't it a bit dangerous?"

"Whether it's 'that' just now or 'this' now."

"I will explode at the right time to activate the spell. After that, I just need to remove the domain and he will think I am dead. Everything is going according to plan. There is no danger at all."

The real person's tone is full of confidence, but Kosuo is a little "worried" about his growth:

"But you've already split your soul once before when facing Zenin Mirai, and now it's split again. If it happens again, even if you're a 'special grade' cursed spirit, your soul will collapse."

"At least I'm still alive now, right?"

The real person turned his head to look at the noose, and said nonchalantly: "If I hadn't kept this trick in advance when I first actively exploded, I would have probably been exorcised by his sneak attack just now."

Hear the words.

Xu Suo shrugged helplessly and nodded, "That's true."

“By the way—” Pulling the struggling Yukichi in front of him, Masato said with great interest, “Is that also a ‘simple field’?”

"Before the official start, I really saw some great things!"

"It's similar to the 'sword-drawing technique' of the little girl who left the exchange meeting early last time, but the aura is the same. It must be from the same person."

"She's still a bit of a threat to me. I have to find a chance to give her to--Gah!"

talking.

The real person slashed his own neck with his hand knife, with a nasty expression, and looked at Xingji who was struggling even more fiercely with a mocking look.

"Oh?"

The real person showed an interested expression on his face: "Could it be that the girl is very important to you?"

"No..."

"Ok?"

"Don't attack him!" Xingji's expression was extremely ferocious hidden under the mask. He used one hand to pry open the huge hand that was restraining him, and punched the real person hard.

The real person did not dodge or evade, but grinned with a strange smile.

"Shule!"

click-

"what!!!"

Just as Kokichi’s fist was about to “kiss” the real person’s face.
