Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Hardly! ...

The two cursed spirits had been exorcised, and the tent that had been set up automatically dissipated after the three people walked out of the range.

Ijichi, who was standing outside the car waiting anxiously, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the three were safe. You know, when he learned that the person who came to assist in the mission was the problem student, Special Grade Otsutsukune, he was really sweating.

Gojo Satoru is really too brave!

No matter if it was two teenagers who hadn't entered school yet, or Yuuta Otsutsuki, a special problem student, what would happen if Gojo Satoru wasn't here to watch over the situation?

Wiping away a handful of bitter tears, Ijichi thought to herself that it was all Gojo Satoru's fault. It seemed that this kind of fearful life would continue for a long time.

"Mr. Ijichi," Yuta Otsutsuka had seen him several times, so he went straight to him and told him what was going on inside.

“…”

"What! There are two level one's in there?!"

After hearing what happened, Ijichi was extremely shocked, but immediately became serious: "I will contact my colleagues immediately."

At the same time, Eri Kimoto, with a pout, had already gotten into the car and sat down. She tilted her head and looked sulky, obviously not intending to pay attention to anyone.

Knowing that the reason she was angry was because Yuta Otsutsuki had just taken back 'Rika', Megumi Fushiguro glanced at her speechlessly and stood outside the car door listening to the conversation between the reliable senior and Mr. Ijichi.

A few minutes later, all four of them were in the car.

The low-key black vehicle drove towards the Dynamic and Quiet Spell High School, and the four people in the car had different expressions.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Ichichi secretly looked back through the rearview mirror inside the car.

The larger one with the sea urchin head sitting on the left is called Fushiguro Megumi. At this moment, he is supporting his chin with one hand, looking at the night scene flashing by outside the window without saying a word; the young man in white clothes with smoother hair, Yuta Otsutsuka, sitting on the right, is now nervously and secretly looking at the girl next to him.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, Qi Ben Eri turned her head stiffly and said to him with a half-smile, "You don't want to sit in the front, is it because it's not crowded enough?"

...That’s the taste!

Such a familiar feeling!

Yuta Otsutsuki: "QuQ"

The two grew up together, and Yuta Otsutsuki knows the real her very well, to the point where he can even accurately predict what she will say next. It's been a long time since I felt this way up close. It's so weird, but it brought tears to my eyes!

He showed a nostalgic expression at the way she spoke, and Yuta Otsutsuka was actually a little moved. Just when he was about to say that it was because he didn't react and subconsciously sat in the back, he heard Fushiguro Megumi's voice and saw the boy's outstretched hand.

"Talk to your seniors nicely,"

Fushiguro Megumi patted Eri Norimoto's head and said seriously, "This is a senior."

Yuta Otsutsuki: "..."

Otsutsuki Yuta: “!!”

...? !

What did he see!

This boy actually patted her head, although it was very light, but Eri was not angry?

Yuta Otsutsuki grew up with Eri Norimoto and knew how much she disliked physical contact. But this boy named Megumi Fushiguro not only had physical contact with her, but also acted so intimately... Is this fake?! Is he not afraid of death?!

Yuta Otsutsuka's eyes widened in shock, and he stared in horror at the boy's hand that was still on Eri's head.

Yuta Otsutsuki, who had already figured out how to stop the fight in the blink of an eye, waved his hands frantically: "No, no, no, no, no, please—"

Don't fight for yourselves!

...However, when Eri Kimoto was patted gently on the head, she just pursed her lips and didn't even slap away Fushiguro Megumi's hand. She just made a soft, impatient sound of "tut."

The words that were not yet finished stopped abruptly.

Otsutsuki Yuta: “…!?”

.......something is wrong.

Something is very wrong!!!!

.

"Speaking of which, a quasi-first-level cursed spirit is much stronger than a second-level one."

The car was silent for a while. It was Eri Nori herself who felt a little uncomfortable. She looked at Megumi Fushiguro and asked, "What do you think, Fushiguro-san?"

Just as Fushiguro Megumi was about to nod, he heard his reliable senior start explaining,

"Besides the level, there might be another reason. There are more people in Tokyo, and their negative emotions are stronger, so the curses are stronger than those in other places."

Otsutsukota spoke softly, his tone becoming more composed than before, but soon his tone became more appreciative. He looked at the two of them with a smile, "But you're also really amazing. You haven't even started school yet, but you're already able to exorcise cursed spirits of this level."

Fushiguro Megumi looked at him disapprovingly and said sternly, "No way, senior is still the best."

Eri Kimoto: “?”

Isn't she awesome? Qi Ben Eri is unhappy.

Yuta Otsutsukota chuckled softly: "You and Eri are really good. When I came, the cursed spirit was already on the verge of death."

While Yuta Otsutsuki and Megumi Fushiguro were chatting across from her, Eri Kimoto leaned back and slowly set her eyes on Yuta Otsutsuki's smiling face.

She suddenly realized that Yuta Okkotsu had grown a lot compared to before.

In the past, apart from being able to behave more normally in front of him, Yuta Otsutsuki always carefully maintained his identity as a marginal person. But now, his demeanor when speaking, his analysis of cursed spirits, and the natural feeling when communicating with Megumi Fushiguro are all different from before.

It seems that he has grown a lot during these months of life at Jujutsu High School. Eri Kimoto thought that maybe this guy really went to the right place.

At this moment, Yuta Otsutsukota turned his head and smiled at her, his voice as gentle as his expression, just like always: "What's wrong, Eri?"

"nothing."

Eri Kimoto looked out the window and thought this would be great.

......

......

It was already late at night when we returned to Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

The same full moon hung in the sky, but unlike in the bustling city where no one cared about it, far away from the center of Tokyo, Eri Kimoto quietly watched the bright moonlight leaking through the gaps between the scattered branches, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

The young man leading the way was probably worried that she was tired, so he turned around and said to her reassuringly, "We're almost there, Eri."

Before the summer vacation, he learned from Mr. Gojo that Eri would stay at Jujutsu High School for a few days. Mr. Gojo said that he would take her and a classmate named Megumi Fushiguro for special training. Yuta Otsutsukotsu was very happy and shared this with several other classmates at that time.

"Yuta, your sister-in-law? Eri Kimoto?"

'Tuna mayonnaise?'

"Is that the one who dared to save your sister alone?"

My colleagues had all heard about this, and they all had different expressions on their faces.

“That’s crazy—”

'Salmon, salmon.'

"Well, it's not bad."

Thinking about the message I just received in the car, Yuta Otsutsuki was dragging her suitcase, and I wondered if Eri would like the welcome dinner those people mentioned prepared for the juniors... After all, I still hope it will be a normal one!

This was not the first time for him to come to Jujutsu High School. The few times that Gojo Satoru had brought him here had made Fushiguro Megumi roughly familiar with the roads here. When he found out that the road he was walking on was not the one that led to the dormitory,

Fushiguro Megumi asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't we go directly to the dormitory building now?"

"No," Yuta Otsutsukota explained to him, "They are waiting for you in the cafeteria."

"them?"

Eri Kimoto guessed that they were referring to Yuta Otsutsu's contemporaries, which reminded her of everything Yuta Otsutsu had said to her. She already had a certain understanding of Zenin Maki, Inumaki Tsuchiya, and Panda.

...especially Panda.

....

....

“Surprise——”

The moment the cafeteria door was opened, several ribbons burst open with a "pop" sound along with glittering debris.

With an expressionless face, Eri Kimoto removed the glittering golden fragments from her head, then slowly raised her eyes to look at the three people.

The panda held up a firecracker, while Inumaki Saki held up a sign beside it that read 'Welcome Eri and Huihui!'. Behind them, Zenin Maki, with a half-smile on her face, crossed her arms over her chest. She glanced at her and then nodded in greeting when she saw the boy beside her.

"Hey, Hui, long time no see."

Fushiguro Megumi also silently took off the glittery confetti on her head and greeted her: "Maki-senpai, long time no see."

Seeing the two people being welcomed so calmly, Panda scratched his head in confusion, sighed, and looked at Gojumaki Ji: "It's really too simple. What do you think I can do to save this awkward atmosphere? Ji? ...If all else fails, how about a set of boxing and pretending to be Kung Fu Panda?"

Inumaki hesitated: "Mingtaizi?"

The panda immediately rolled up his sleeves (?) and was about to show off: "Wait a minute, Eri-chan, I'm going to--"

However, as soon as he turned around, Eri Kimoto grabbed his claws.

"?"

The strange feeling from the paw made the panda look at her subconsciously. Qi Ben Eri raised her face, her long raven-feather eyelashes fluttered, and her dark red eyes were as bright as if burning in flames. For some reason, her little face was a little red, but she was still very well-behaved until the panda heard her ask,

"Can you hard-mmmm-mm?"

She was halfway through her words when Megumi Fushiguro covered her mouth and pulled her away. Eri Kimoto struggled to break free from his restraints, but Megumi Fushiguro just calmly said to the puzzled Panda, "Sorry, Panda-senpai."

"Hardly?"

The panda scratched his head, and the fur behind his ears swayed. "Did I hear wrong? What can I do?"

Fushiguro Megumi tightly covered Norimoto's mouth, and said calmly, "...I want to thank you very much for the welcome banquet you prepared today."

"Really?" The panda's eyes lit up, and he clasped his hands together in front of his chest, looking very touched. "Oh my, no need to be so polite! Come on, come on, come and try Master Panda's barbecue skills!"

Inumaki Tsuchiya and Zenin Maki followed him to the dining table. Otsutsukoshi Yuuta, who was left at the end, looked at the two young men who were also following him. He was so frightened.

He could clearly see Fushiguro Megumi lowering her head and whispering something in Eri Nori's ear in a low voice. Then, Eri magically became quiet and nodded to him obediently.

Immediately afterwards, Megumi Fushiguro showed an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she sighed helplessly, let go of her hand and told Eri to stop making trouble.

Otsutsuki Yuta: "...?!"

Yuta Otsutsuki also did it fiercely!

...rubbed his eyes hard.
