Chapter 34 Chapter 34 is here. ...

Megumi Fushiguro was a little conflicted.

He was wondering how he could find that person. The most important and difficult problem was that he had to leave the college first.

But it is not so easy to escape from the technical high school now. What is more difficult to get rid of than sneaking away is the secret...overt and covert surveillance from Otsutsuki senior.

Who knows, Otsutsuki-senpai is a bit like a male ghost who makes people sweat profusely. It seems that he has packed his bags early, waiting for me to show any abnormality, and then he will quickly run away with me.

Didn't Eri Kimoto say that she would break his legs if he dared to go... Why does Senior Otsutsuki seem like he didn't hear anything?

Two days had passed since the first time he contacted her. Fushiguro Megumi had already figured out the time pattern when she could use her cell phone. She could not be contacted before nine o'clock in the evening. It was probably after nine o'clock that he could secretly use the cell phone she had stolen.

She said she was also very busy in the Bankei Sect, and was recently learning from Geto Suguru how to control the cursed energy more delicately and manipulate the cursed spirits.

She also talked about a lot of things that happened during her time at the Bankei Cult. It didn't sound like the treatment of the kidnapped people that Megumi Fushiguro had imagined. In fact, it sounded more like...

Megumi Fushiguro felt something was wrong, and he instinctively felt that he had to bring Eri Kimoto back as soon as possible.

In fact, he also knew that Eri Kimoto was not as harmless as she appeared. Sometimes, judging from her unintentional behavior and words, some of her thoughts and opinions did not conform to the truth.

She is a very spontaneous person who does things according to her mood and interests. Strictly speaking, such people are somewhat dangerous and uncontrollable.

So in the past few months, Megumi Fushiguro has really been acting as her guardian, for fear that she might accidentally go astray... Megumi Fushiguro sighed, and felt that he had really changed. Although he was only in the third grade of junior high school, he was about to become a qualified male mother.

If Tsumiki knew her current thoughts and state, she would definitely be very touched. Fushiguro Megumi smiled inappropriately, but her eyes darkened when she thought of her sister who was still unconscious.

Rika-san and Tsumiki...are completely different, yet they seem exactly the same.

“....”

It would be better to go see her earlier, and bring her back directly if possible, Fushiguro Megumi made up her mind, thinking that the guy really needs someone to watch over him!

We can't delay any longer, let's set off today, just to get rid of Otsutsuki-senpai's surveillance for a while.

.

On the other side, Qi Ben Eri, who was holding her knees and breathing heavily, was a little tired at this time.

The high-intensity training time with Geto Suguru is getting longer and longer. Of course, she feels that she has made a lot of progress during this period. After all, although Geto Suguru's guidance is a bit violent, it is really useful.

In just half a month, she felt that her understanding of not only physical skills but also techniques had become more thorough than before. Of course, she was also eager to learn new skills, and her pursuit of strength made her very motivated.

"That's all for today?"

Geto Suguru retracted his cursed spirit and nodded to her with satisfaction: "Your progress is faster than I thought, Eri."

"Two more rounds."

Qi Ben Eri stood up straight and looked at him with bright eyes: "Continue."

"Don't be too aggressive."

Not feeling that she was being bravado, Eri Norimoto shook her head at him. After thinking for a few seconds, she asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time: "Do all strong people have domains?"

The cursed spirit that Geto Suguru had just released was the slit-mouthed woman, and this cursed spirit, which was 200% hostile to her, showed no mercy to her at all...

The simple area is already a bit of a headache, and thanks to the slit-mouthed woman, Eri Kimoto has changed her hairstyle.

She was given a watermelon-shaped haircut by the Slit-Mouthed Woman...Is it because of her harsh words back then? What a stingy Slit-Mouthed Woman! !

Fortunately, she did not let herself be bullied. She realized something when the slit-mouthed woman almost cut her head bald. Otherwise, she would probably have to wear a hat for a while.

Facing her question, Geto Xiayou quickly gave an answer: "Yes, the domain is a standard feature of the strong."

"But for Eri now, it's still too early for you to enter the realm."

Unfazed by her displeasure, Geto Suguru explained soothingly, "Activating a domain requires the following conditions: first, sufficient magical energy, second, a high level of attainment in barrier techniques, and third, a high level of understanding and mastery of one's own techniques. Eri probably doesn't meet any of these requirements right now!"

Eri Kimoto's forehead twitched and she glared at him fiercely.

"Everyone's domain is unique, and there are certain risks in expanding it. If it is destroyed by the enemy or cannot be maintained, it will cause backlash."

Seeing that Geto Suguru has sat down now, I guess he won’t practice with me anymore. I feel like I should start the theoretical class now.

So Eri Kimoto also put away her knife and sat obediently on the ground waiting for Teacher Gouyu's popular science lecture. However, the leader gave the impression that he had very good grades and was a good teacher.

"The expansion of the field ensures that the sorcerer's attacks will hit the enemy, regardless of how the enemy dodges or defends. This type of expansion usually requires a faster speed and a smaller range to quickly lock onto the enemy and ensure a hit."

"Also, it can make the sorcerer's attacks deal fatal damage to the enemy, regardless of how powerful or resilient the enemy is. This type of field deployment usually requires high power and a large range to cover the enemy's fatal attack."

"And the ability to mentally or physically control the enemy, regardless of how they resist or flee. This type of domain deployment usually requires a high level of intelligence and complex rules in order to manipulate the enemy's control type."

"Um?"

Xia Yujie continued, "I'd like to ask about the triggering conditions and mechanisms for the expansion of the domain?"

Eri Kimoto nodded frantically, her thirst for knowledge was simply off the charts. Geto Suguru's explanation was really very clear. Perhaps he was more suitable to be a teacher than Gojo Satoru. He not only explained the effect of the field expansion, but also added his own insights. Even things that were obviously very complicated were explained in a way that was easy to understand.

"In addition to the basic conditions I just mentioned, the chances of breaking through the limit are higher when the sorcerer is on the verge of death. The special nature of the technique and the control of the cursed energy will make it easier to deploy the domain."

"Can I see your realm?"

After a few seconds, Eri looked at him thoughtfully: "You must have it, the domain."

Xia Yujie shrugged, feeling that her smile was unfathomable: "Who knows?"

This person must also have something like a domain!

He's pretty strong, huh?!

What does his domain look like? I really want to know. But at this moment, Eri Kimoto thought of his technique and thought that Geto Suguru's domain might be full of insects, and he might use a very despicable insect sea tactic to make people mentally collapse.

.....This is a bit creepy, let's take it slow.

Rolling her eyes at him, Eri Kimoto said, "You're a stingy person too."

"Hahahahahahahahaha," Xia Yujie was not annoyed, but just patted her head with his hand, then lowered his head and tied the black rope around her wrist again.

It was troublesome to be present every time when the two of them were training, so Miguel changed the knot of the black rope on Eri Kimoto's wrist. Besides himself, Geto Suguru could also untie it with special techniques.

"Eri is very interested in fields," said Geto, lowering his head. "You might have one too, but what will your field be like? I'm so excited."

"What are you expecting? To be locked up in my domain and beaten?" Eri Kimoto rolled her eyes at him mercilessly. "I don't know if you can survive until my domain is expanded."

Geto Suguru paused for a few seconds before changing his expression. His sighing expression now seemed a little too kind, like that of a kindly elder. He changed the subject, "I think you've been having a pretty good time lately, Eri."

"....Could you please not speak in such a motherly tone?" Eri Kimoto was very disgusted.

"You're not going to fight anymore? If you don't, I'm leaving."

Eri Kimoto patted her butt and stood up, ready to leave. She was not prepared to answer Geto Suguru's question.

It seemed that he didn't even think about waiting for her answer. Xia Yujie just sat there with his hands in front of him, watching her leave with a gentle smile.

.

Nine o'clock in the evening,

After washing up, she sat on the edge of the bed and wiped her hair with a towel. She was also waiting for the message on her mobile phone. Sure enough, she soon saw the message from Fushiguro.

【Here it comes.】

Eri Nori fell on the bed and laughed out loud. It was just two short words, but she felt a strange sense of humor. It was very consistent with Fushiguro's serious behavior and made people want to laugh.

Her fingers clattered across the keyboard, and Eri Kimoto quickly replied to him.

[Great! ! ]

Eri Kimoto looked out the window. It was already dark, but there were still twinkling lights in the Panxing Sect at this time. If Megumi Fushiguro arrived now, it would not be a good time.

Where are you now, Fushiguro-san?

【Are you alone? 】

I'm alone.

[It will probably take a few hours.]

That's good, Qi Ben Eri breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be fine if it was like this. As long as Yuta Otsutsukota and his sister were not around, nothing should go wrong if she just met him later.

But is it just a simple meeting with Fushiguro-san?

Ah...even though he said it was just a one-time meeting, he would probably try to take me away.

Eri Kimoto stretched out her hand and stared at the black thin rope on her wrist in a daze. It looked like just an ordinary hand-woven rope, but it actually had the ability to prevent people from using cursed power. Miguel only said that this was a rope that took many people a very long time to weave in his hometown.

It would be better if it wasn't on her wrist. This kind of thing is worth collecting. Eri Qimoto gritted her teeth again and tried to bite it open for the eighth time, but of course it was useless.

“.....”

Giving up, Eri Kimoto fell on the bed and began to imagine the scene when she would meet Megumi Fushiguro.

I don't know why I haven't seen him for almost half a month.

Fushiguro-san, do you feel a little uncomfortable?

....

....

Three hours later, Megumi Fushiguro appeared in Nikko City, hailed a taxi and gave a location.

The taxi driver was a little confused after hearing the destination. He secretly glanced at the boy through the rearview mirror several times at the boy who had not spoken since he got in the car. The boy looked out the window quietly, with not much emotion in his blue-green eyes.

But the destination he was going to was really too remote!

The driver cleared his throat, but finally couldn't hold back. After all, the boy in the back seat looked like he was only in junior high or high school. He came out alone so late at night... Did he run away from home?

"Student, what are you doing over there?" the driver asked kindly, "Do your parents know?"

“....”

Having understood what the uncle meant, Fushiguro Megumi turned her head and just smiled at him obediently: "My parents know. We have acquaintances here."

"That's good, that's good," the driver breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a polite smile. "Because that place is a bit too remote, I was curious about where you were going alone so late at night. Don't blame me for being talkative. I have a troublesome son at home who is about your age. He only got 12 points on his last test. When I told him about it, he even dared to yell that he wanted to run away from home. It's really a headache!"

"..." Not knowing how to respond, Megumi Fushiguro just listened obediently to the uncle's complaints. He then took a good look at the driver and found that although he was complaining, he had a smile on his face.

"My son is in his first year of high school, and aside from his 12 points in English, everything else seems fine," the driver said, scratching his head and chuckling, perhaps realizing something. "I told him I could get 30 points if I were given the test. But he got angry and said he didn't even know the 24 letters of the English alphabet! Hey! This kid is really going too far! Who in the world doesn't know this?!"

Fushiguro Megumi also responded softly and then continued to listen to the driver's complaints quietly.

"But isn't English class really that hard? I've seen him memorizing vocabulary lately. I offered to pay him to study outside, but he refused, saying it was too expensive and unnecessary... Dad, it's not like I don't make money, so why would it be so hard to pay for his lessons?"

The driver glanced at the boy in the back seat and smiled shyly, "That's what a father does."

“…”

The driver didn't stop even though he didn't get a response. He continued to talk about some daily trivial matters. After he said that he was going to give his wife money to buy some beef tomorrow to make his son's favorite potato stewed beef, Megumi Fushiguro stopped listening.

The boy pursed his lips as he watched the scenery receding outside the window.

Thick dark clouds obscured the sky, leaving only the light of street lamps on the road. The forest beside the path had only the branches and leaves of trees swaying in the wind, getting further and further away, but also probably getting closer and closer to her.

If Eri Nori was here, would she have replied to the driver, or would she have been as dazed as I was? No, if it were her, she would have probably just complained about how the English alphabet doesn't have 24 letters.

Now I suddenly realized that the guy seemed to be somewhat similar to me...

“Ding Di——”

Megumi Fushiguro lowered her head after her thoughts were interrupted, and the light of her mobile phone screen came on.

【So sleepy QAQ】

【If you don’t come soon, I’ll fall asleep! 】

The moon also poked its head out from behind the dark clouds, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the mountain road, as if coating everything with gentle silver gauze.

"It should be a nice day tomorrow,"

The driver also glanced at the sky, then said with certainty, "Student, if you're still here tomorrow, you can ask someone close to you to take you hiking or something. The scenery here is amazing!"

"Yeah?"

After replying to the message, Fushiguro Megumi raised her head again and said politely to the driver with a smile, "Maybe it won't work this time, maybe next time."

Next time if I have enough time, maybe I can go hiking with her...if she likes it too.
