Chapter 347: After the War: Cursed Spirits in the Shrine? Qing...

The first ray of light in the morning shone through the open screen window onto the face of the girl who was immersed in sleep, making her frown involuntarily. After that, the rapid knock on the door made her face wrinkle even more.

"Aurora, Aurora, I know you're in there!"

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"Aurora, come out quickly——"

The player was so disturbed that he couldn't fall asleep anymore. He could only get up from the bed painfully and glanced at the alarm clock: "..."

It's only six in the morning.

The player gritted his teeth as he opened the door. He looked at the white-haired boy and the boy with bangs leaning against the tree outside, his eyes filled with resentment. "You're making such a fuss downstairs so early in the morning! If you don't give me a reason, I'll never let you two go!"

You know, yesterday, players stayed up late just dealing with the issues left behind by the evil curse master, not to mention all the other things they did! Players with the sleep debuff are really, really sleepy right now!

"Don't be so heartless, Aurora~~, we came here specifically to find you!" Gojo Satoru looked at the black-haired girl in front of him with a smile, and manually made her hair a little more messy.

The player who successfully turned his hair into a mess due to the hateful white hair: "..."

The player expressionlessly slapped Gojo Satoru's rebellious claws away: "Schoolbags, what on earth are you two doing here?"

But when the players started to ask further questions, the two guys became inexplicably humble again.

"Jie, you go first."

"Wu, you speak first."

"No, you should speak first."

"No, it's better if you tell me first."

**

"Well, actually, it's like this, Aurora." After some humility, in front of the increasingly numb eyes of the players, Geto Suguru coughed lightly, a rare hint of shyness on his face. "I heard from Wu that you used the domain when dealing with that curse caster yesterday. I was wondering if you could tell me the trick."

"After all, you're not about to... uh, cough, after all, you've only been exposed to spells for a short time, so we're uh, a little curious about how you learned the domain." After being poked by Gojo Satoru with his elbow, Geto Suguru was briefly stuck before he stammered out the rest of his words.

"Jie, I feel like what you wanted to say just now wasn't this..."

The player glanced sharply at Geto Suguru, then snorted softly at his increasingly stiff expression, "But if that's what you're asking me... I'd be happy to discuss this. Please wait ten minutes!"

The player closed the door and prepared to wash up.

"...You managed to get away with it, didn't you?"

"... should have gotten away with it..."

After Aurora's figure completely disappeared, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru looked at each other, patted their chests, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really, Jie, you better be careful, we almost got exposed." Gojo Satoru whispered, then became a little confused, "Didn't we rehearse well last night?"

"...I was just distracted." Xia Yujie shook his head and said hesitantly, "Satoru, do you think what Naoko said is true? Aurora is...leaving soon?"

"And leave this world?"

God knows when he heard this for the first time, he thought Aurora was suffering from a disease that even the reversal technique could not cure!

"That shouldn't be a lie." Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow. "Tengen's unique existence means she's destined to be able to sense things we can't. Moreover, her barrier spans all of Japan. It's normal for her to sense the inexplicable power emerging from within it."

"And don't forget, Jay. We haven't been able to find out Aurora's origins no matter what. The same goes for the names she mentioned from time to time. I even used the channels given by my old man at home."

"Adding her spatial magic... it's not impossible." The white-haired, blue-eyed boy spread his hands. "Anyway, I've searched through all the ancient books at home and haven't found anything similar to the flame on Aurora."

"Now that you put it that way, there really are a lot of mysteries surrounding Aurora." Xia Yujie sighed, accepting his best friend's opinion. "No wonder Naoko kicked me out and came here with you to hold Aurora back. She must have known that I still didn't believe this."

The guy I've been with for a month is a visitor from another world, not some comic about saving the world... Wait, so what Aurora said about being a mafia boss is very likely true?!

"Because she has no intention of hiding anything!"

Gojo Satoru didn't notice the subtle shock hidden in his best friend's eyes. Instead, he said dissatisfiedly, "But what do you mean by 'with me'? Do you have any objection to being with me?"

"No problem."

"You don't look like you have any objection!"

"I really don't mind!"

"I don't believe it!"

"If you don't believe me, what can I do?"

"Okay, Jay! You actually said something so irresponsible!"

"Wait a minute, did I say something irresponsible? Don't make that disgusting expression!"

The player who was about to push the door: "..."

What were they talking about? Was Wu accusing Jie of being irresponsible? Had Jie done something wrong to Wu recently? Did he not need the curse spirit to help him reclaim the land?

…

…

The player finally left the room, and then, deceived by the two big liars who said that "only actual combat can show the real effect", he left the Spell High School in a daze.

And those who are still in the Jujutsu High School can finally start to take action.

"Those two guys, Wu and Jie, are really capable." Ieiri Naoko watched them leave and crushed her lollipop. "Now it's up to us, Nanami and Haibara."

"Don't worry, Senior Aurora!" Haibara rolled up his sleeves happily and hugged his friend. "Senior Aurora is planning to take a leave of absence and return home to inherit a 100 billion yuan fortune, so we need to hold a farewell party for her. Nanami and I will definitely work hard to cooperate with Senior Aurora!"

Nanami Kento, who was being held tightly, said: "..."

How could his classmate be such a naive guy who only believes what the senior schoolgirl says?

Inheriting a 100 billion fortune... How did he hear that Senior Aurora was picked up by Senior Gojo? Why didn't he find a more plausible excuse for Senior Aurora's death? Could it be that Senior Aurora was unconscious on the roadside because of a fight over the family fortune?

Nanami Kento suddenly had an idea.

"You said so, Nanami!" Haibara Yu didn't notice at all and his smile was still bright.

"...Don't call me Nanami." Nanami Kento said helplessly, "Okay, I'll help too."

Iejo-senpai is the most reliable among the second-year seniors—at least more reliable than Gojo-senpai and Geto-senpai. If it’s just about preparing for the banquet... it should be easy.

Looking at the smile on the corner of Ieiri Shoko's lips, Nanami Kento always had a bad feeling.

————————

"Why come here? A shrine?" Without even bringing an assistant supervisor, the three of them rode the Rainbow Dragon eastward and settled down at a place.

"Because we were originally planning to test the effect of the domain, and it just so happened that junior Nanami and junior Haibara had other things to do today, so we took over the second-level curse spirit mission that was originally assigned to them." Geto Suguru took back the curse spirit and explained.

"Eh? What's going on with them?"

"Well, well..." Geto Suguru looked at Gojo Satoru for help.

"I know that!" Gojo Satoru understood and immediately came to the rescue, "Haibara wants to go home to see her grandmother and sister, and Nanami... he wants to take the baker's certificate exam!"

Player: “…”

Geto Summer Oil: “…”

"No, Satoru, you definitely heard wrong." Geto Suguru said expressionlessly, "Nanaha-kun can't possibly take the baker's certificate exam. He's still a minor."

"Why can't minors take the exam? This is simply discrimination!" Gojo Satoru raised his hands indignantly.

"Well, maybe I heard it wrong, but getting a baker's certificate is also a good choice. I remember Nanami really loved eating bread. When she ate the bread she liked, her eyes would sparkle. I think it was..."

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Aurora, who was so engrossed in the bread recipe that she ignored the two of them. They were relieved that they were not exposed, but also a little dissatisfied, so they chose to approach her again.

The few of them quarreled all the way, and then walked into the shrine together.

"...something's wrong." Looking at the massive curse spirit in front of him, the player narrowed his eyes and muttered, "This doesn't look like a level 2 curse spirit."

"I remember Nanami and Haibara are only second-level sorcerers right now, right?"

"Ah, that's right." Geto Suguru's eyes were dim, and he replied in a low voice, "Although they all have the potential to be more than a second-level sorcerer, it hasn't been fully tapped yet. Moreover, Haibara-san's technique is a bit special and cannot be used freely under normal circumstances."

"They can't deal with a first-level curse spirit right now."

"It's those old idiots again?" Gojo Satoru said in a dissatisfied tone, "It seems the lessons we learned before weren't enough."

He actually dared to do such a shady trick behind his back. Gojo Satoru gritted his teeth calmly.

"The expertise of the 'window' needs to be improved. I have already enhanced the tools needed to detect cursed spirits. I will give them to you when I return."

The player paused, then continued, "We still need to continue cleaning up the feudal elements in the Curse Supervision Department, but for now, let's quickly deal with this cursed spirit."

"The field expands..."

"The Garden of Eternal Rift!"

…

…

As expected, the Uchido Divine Curse Spirit became Geto Suguru's power, and after carefully observing the player's field, he was also surprised.

"It's a very powerful field, and it seems there are still some areas that have not been developed. If it is a complete form, it might be even stronger."

Geto Suguru rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "In the final analysis, Aurora should also be able to comprehend the derivative uses of spells like 'teleportation' - such as spatial transfer or something like that."

"Wow, the teleportation array in the game?" Gojo Satoru thought for a moment and agreed. "If we can set a fixed location, maybe we can do it."

"That's cool." The player who thought of fixed-point teleportation couldn't help but nod. "You guys make a lot of sense. I'll try to explore the possibilities in this direction!"

"But now that the mission is complete and we've seen the areas, shouldn't we go back to the technical college?" The player glanced at the time. "If we go back now, maybe we can still make it in time for lunch."

"No rush." ​​Xia Yujie shook his head, took out a piece of paper, and shook it slightly, and the paper flew out like water. "Wu said last night that he had a day off today, so he wanted to try all the popular dessert shops recently."

Player: "Huh?"

Gojo Satoru: “Huh?”

It’s okay that the players are surprised, but why is the person involved in the incident also so surprised?

The players looked at Gojo Satoru who had the same shocked expression and felt a little confused.

There's something really wrong with these two guys today...

Gojo Satoru glared at Geto Suguru - the itinerary this guy mentioned was completely different from what they had prepared together yesterday.

This is simply revenge!

"That's right." Xia Yujie's smile remained unchanged, and he shook the paper in his hand again, "So, we probably still have twenty stores to go."

"Let's talk about returning to the Polytechnic Institute after we finish visiting these stores."

He just found out that the amusement park he had originally planned to visit was temporarily closed due to a violent incident!

But in order to give Aurora a surprise... I'm sorry, Wu, I can only sacrifice you with great reluctance!
