Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Working. ...

After returning to the high school, Eri Kimoto pretended to be natural and blended into the crowd.

Of course, she silently ignored Gojo Satoru's burning gaze, but she couldn't ignore the direct question from the urchin-haired boy.

"Where did you go?"

Eri Kimoto was silent for a few seconds, then muttered in a very low voice, "I'm going to do something bad." She didn't care whether Megumi Fushiguro heard it clearly or not. She didn't intend to repeat it anyway, and just quickly slipped away in two steps.

After waking up from a brief coma, Yuta Otsutsukotsu finally showed a relieved expression when he saw everyone had recovered. Then he nervously checked Rika's condition.

The huge white figure next to Eri Kimoto began to change in Yuta Otsutsukota's sight. The warm white light was like millions of fireflies, and the more familiar figure became clearer and clearer.

The long black hair fluttered gently in the wind, the small face, the familiar eyebrows and eyes, were exactly what Yuta Otsutsukota remembered.

"Li Xiang..."

Yuta Otsutsuki pursed his lips, and there was a hint of grievance and sobbing in his voice. He stared at the girl who was getting closer and closer to him, his eyes stubborn, and then tears rolled down.

"Yuta, why are you crying again?"

Rika Kimoto chuckled and hugged the boy's head, comforting the crying Yuta Otsutsuka.

"I won't take you away. Yuta and Eri must live well."

"I've never blamed you, and I cherish the time I get to spend with you and Eri."

"if you can..."

Rika Kimoto nudged Yuta Otsutsuka's head, then waved to Eri. She took her sister, whose eyes were also red, into her arms and said with a satisfied smile,

"Just being with you and Eri makes me happy!"

Qi Ben Eri's eyes were filled with tears,

On the one hand, I was happy that my sister didn't want to become a Buddha and wanted to stay with them. On the other hand, I felt sad and ashamed that I couldn't become a Buddha because I still wanted my sister to stay with me.

Yuta Otsutsuki must have had the same idea, which made their cries even more tragic.

However, the giggling Rika Kimoto seemed to be amused by their reaction. She hugged the two of them even more tightly and whispered to them to comfort them, saying that this was obviously the best ending, wasn't it?

"...Um!"

........

........

So finally, finally!

Finally, I had a few days of normal vacation, a normal vacation in Tokyo.

Dealing with the One Hundred Demons Night Parade led by Geto Suguru is actually quite troublesome, but it has nothing to do with the students of the technical high school, not to mention Eri Kimoto and Megumi Fushiguro who have not yet enrolled. Just when the senior management and teachers of the technical high school are busy, Eri Kimoto finally lives a normal life in Tokyo.

Eri Kimoto wants to live a peaceful life—wait, she really can't play JOJO memes anymore, especially that one! What if she gets run over by an ambulance?

Anyway, apart from her, her sister, and Yuuta Otsutsuki... maybe there is also Gojo Satoru, but Gojo Satoru has never looked for her from that day until now. I don't know if he is pretending to be ignorant or turning a blind eye. Anyway, I heard that the result of reporting to the top was still that Geto Suguru was dead. In fact, the leader has already returned to the mountains... It's a bit funny, a private Marseille.

Okay, back to the topic, Eri Qimoto wants to have a peaceful summer vacation, even though school starts in a few days.

Having just quickly replied to the message from Weird Liu Hai, Eri Qimoto lazily looked at the people who were waiting at the entrance of the high school for a bus to take them to the city center.

The college hasn’t been renovated yet, so I can only go out and play.

...Great!!

So after severely persecuting several seniors for a few days, the happy times are really gone forever, and I am moved to tears.

Two days before school started, Eri Norimoto and Megumi Fushiguro were sent on the train back to Saitama, with their seniors appearing reluctant to leave but actually filled with laughter (?).

The new semester went by more peacefully than I had expected. Apart from a few minor tasks, including exorcising cursed spirits with Megumi Fushiguro, everything seemed peaceful.

In the last half of the third year of junior high school, the students seemed not as relaxed as before, and I often heard them discussing which high school to go to.

Eri Kimoto is still a gentle and beautiful student with excellent grades in the eyes of her classmates. Her perfect smile and amiable attitude make her very popular this semester.

Of course, some people also asked her which school she was going to for high school. Whenever this happened, Eri Kimoto could only maintain a gentle smile on her face, and then silently responded politely with a few words like "I might go to Tokyo to study."

"Ahhh, it's not that famous private high school in Minato Ward." "It's not in Shinjuku either." "Haha, the school might not even be in Shibuya." "Anyway, we'll talk about it later."

Anyway, the name of the private religious academy, the Jujutsu High School, was hard for her to say, so she could only let everyone speculate wildly and keep it a secret.

No one asked Megumi Fushiguro the same question. I guess everyone is still in awe of his domineering identity.

After the bell rang, Eri Kimoto waved down Class Leader Fujisawa's invitation to have lunch together. She lay on the table and lazily replied to Geto Suguru's message.

[Strange Bangs: How are you going to spend next month's winter vacation?]

[Weird Bangs: Want to stay at Panxing Sect for a few days? Nanako and Mimiko really miss you.]

[Weird Bangs: I miss you, Eri, too.]

Qi Ben Eri's mouth twitched, and she quickly replied,

【Eri: Geto, you hit my phone. 】

[Weird bangs: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha]

【Weird Bangs: Oh, right.】

Weird bangs: (Picture)

[Weird Bangs: You've redecorated your room and bought a projector and a PS5. Is there anything else you'd like to add?]

Eri Kimoto: “….”

[Weird Liu Hai: If you come over during the winter vacation, tell me what you want to eat in advance.]

[Weird Bangs: You can get your favorite Chateaubriand in Tuha.]

...Hello.

What are you doing.

Eri Kimoto fell into shameful silence as she looked at the screen of her mobile phone, but she would not be easily defeated by the sugar-coated bullets of capital. She should spend her winter vacation with classmate Fushiguro to be a hardworking, pitiful and socially contributing cow and horse.

....tsk.

At this moment, her and Fushiguro Megumi's phones vibrated at the same time.

[Oh, time to work again (group chat)]

[Panda Senior: Who knows? This group name is absolutely right.]

[Senior Panda: I think I am a panda, not a cow or a horse, right?]

[Goujuan-senpai: (Dog sighing.jpg)]

[Otsutsuki-senpai: QAQ]

[Senior Maki:. 】

They are all cattle and horses...

If the sorcerer is really that bad...it seems a bit too tragic.

The seniors started to complain, including but not limited to "They are still students but they have become part-time workers", "What kind of loneliness do they have during the winter, summer and spring vacations every year", "I haven't seen Gojo-sensei for a few days. Is he going to exorcise the cursed spirits or buy sweets?",

Qi Ben Eri did not reply to the message here. She switched off and glanced at her private chat.

[Brother-in-law: Eri, are you going back to technical high school during winter break?]

[Brother-in-law: Did you receive the tea cakes and Yatsuhashi cakes from Kyoto that I sent you a few days ago?]

Just recently, Yuta Otsutsuki attended a sister exchange meeting between Tokyo Jujutsu High School and Kyoto Jujutsu High School. After winning a great victory together with her sister, she bought some souvenirs from Kyoto and sent them over. The quantity was so large that Eri Kimoto gave half of them to Megumi Fushiguro.

【Eri: I’ve finished eating.】

[Brother-in-law: That's good. When we were shopping with Rika, she said you would like this!]

[Brother-in-law: (Thankfully.jpg)]

After the One Hundred Demons Night Parade ended, the elder sister was able to maintain her sanity and restore her human form from time to time, and the duration of this restoration gradually increased. She could even choose the time to appear next to the two of them. This was really good news that made Eri Kimoto very, very happy, and of course Yuta Otsutsuki was also very happy.

Yuta Otsutsuki and she discussed this topic with teachers they both thought were reliable.

The silver-haired teacher said that maybe when Rika Kimoto got entangled with you again, everyone had lost their original negative state.

The black-haired teacher's answer had a vague philosophical air, talking about love, bonds, and so on.

It seems that Yuta Otsutsuki is walking hand in hand with his sister again... Eri Kimoto snorted and didn't intend to pay attention to him anymore. Just when she was thinking about how to spend her winter vacation, a sudden voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Fushiguro... Fushiguro-san!"

The other student in the class, Eri Norimoto, didn't talk much, but she could always feel her gaze on her. Yamada-san, who was sitting in the back seat, appeared in front of the two of them and looked at Megumi Fushiguro with an obviously nervous and cautious expression.

"Um...can...can I ask where you've decided to go to high school?"

"It's just... I'm just a little curious."

It felt like the chatter around me had become a bit quieter. Many people pretended not to care, but in fact, they were all secretly listening with their ears perked up.

Fushiguro Megumi raised her head and glanced at Yamada expressionlessly, as if wondering why she suddenly asked that question. However, she still replied concisely, "Tokyo."

"Ah! It's Tokyo after all!!"

Yamada's eyes sparkled, and he quickly suppressed his suddenly excited, high-pitched voice. He tentatively asked, "Excuse me...excuse me...can you tell me which school this is?!"

Fushiguro Megumi: “?”

Why did this person suddenly ask such a question? It seemed like they had only spoken a few words to each other. Fushiguro Megumi frowned and was not prepared to answer her.

However, even so, Yamada looked extremely happy. After glancing at him and Eri Kimoto beside him twice with a strange look, he returned to the group of little sisters with a red face and an excited expression of "it doesn't matter, it's true".

Eri Kimoto: “?”

Fushiguro Megumi: “?”

"What are you so happy about, Yamada-san?" Eri Nori asked with her eyes.

"......" Fushiguro Megumi also responded with this look.

.

Time passed by in the process of going to school, sporadic low-level curse exorcism missions and peaceful daily life. The elder sister's condition was getting better and better. Sometimes she would appear from time to time when Eri Nori was in school.

The classmates around could not see the sister who suddenly appeared in the classroom, but Fushiguro Megumi could see her.

Besides being startled by Rika who suddenly appeared next to her, after saying hello to her smiling sister, she would see her punch Eri Nori on the head who was sleeping soundly on the table... In short, this is what it feels like to be caught and scolded by your parents for not studying well.

As expected, I received the task during the two weeks of winter vacation.

Eri Kimoto and Megumi Fushiguro went to Otaru, which is quite far away, and exorcised a first-level cursed spirit. Various things happened as well. When they came back, they separated in Tokyo. Eri Kimoto used the excuse of having something to do to secretly go to Nikko City, and stayed in Bankei Gyo for two days to enjoy herself.

In the blink of an eye, there is only one month left until graduation. The atmosphere of graduation season has not yet fully settled, but the preparations for the last campus festival of the third grade have already swept the entire school.

"It's decided!"

"Our class is going to make a coffee shop, and you can't go wrong with that!"

Class leader Fujinuma and vice-class leader Yamamoto announced this on the podium, immediately causing a burst of bored boos from the audience.

"Boring—"

“The coffee shop is really so ordinary—”

"How about a haunted house?!"

"Excuse me, it's not that great."

"Okay, okay, be quiet now!"

Vice-class monitor Yamamoto clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. "Let's do that! The whole class draws lots, and no matter if it's a boy or a girl, whoever gets the lot will have to work part-time on the day of the school festival!"

"We'll only choose six people. If a boy draws the lottery, he'll dress up as a maid, and if a girl draws the lottery, she'll dress up as a butler. Don't you think it's fun?!"

“…”

The classroom suddenly became much quieter.

"Come!!"

Some girls' voices of agreement grew louder.

“Eh—”

The wailing of some boys also became louder.

Squad leader Fujinuma signed the letter with a smile and passed down the box containing six 'part-time job' slips.

When the box was passed to Qiben Eri, there was nothing written on the paper slip that Qiben Eri pulled out, which caused a very obvious sigh of regret in the classroom.

Everyone looked very regretful and even wanted Eri Kimoto to draw again. Eri Kimoto shrugged and handed the box to the sea urchin next to her.

When it was Megumi Fushiguro's turn, the classroom suddenly became quiet, and many eyes were staring at his hand until he casually pulled out a piece of paper and unfolded it.

Fushiguro Megumi remained silent with an expressionless face: "..."

“.......”

“.......”

There were two big words clearly written on the small piece of paper.

【work to earn a living】

“....”

“....”

"hiss--"

"hiss!!!"

“Ahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!”

Who was it that burst into laughter amidst the gasps?

This is really easy to guess.
