Chapter 62 Chapter 62 What’s wrong with following you? ...

Although Eri Kimoto wanted to find the high school student to ask about the situation, Nanami Kento still took the two of them to the cinema to investigate. They followed the remnants of the cursed power to the rooftop and discovered the cursed spirit that wanted to launch a sneak attack.

I didn't listen carefully to Kento Nanami as he was dealing with the cursed spirits while taking classes with Yuji Itadori. After seeing him deal with the cursed spirits so cleanly and neatly, Eri Kimoto thought that this guy was quite strong. But are these cursed spirits a little different?

Although they are all very ugly, Eri Kimoto shrugged her shoulders and quickly strangled the cursed spirit in front of her with the cursed force line in front of Nanami Kento's sight. She could feel that Nanami Kento seemed to want to say something, but she didn't care.

What made her feel even more strange was that this time the cursed spirit did not disappear directly like the ones she had dealt with before, but fell in a pool of blood... But at the same time, Yuji Itadori's side was also nearing the end, which made both of them look over.

The Jingting Fist that Yuji Itadori newly learned is also very interesting. It is like a high-ping punch. One hit will cause two damages after a delay. In short, it is very powerful and not something you can learn just by wanting to. However, just when he was about to use the last punch to get rid of the cursed spirit, he was stopped. Kento Nanami noticed something was wrong.

He took a photo of the cursed spirit wearing the watch and sent it to Naoko Ieiri, who was in the high school's medical room, studying the body of the cursed spirit from the cinema.

The most accurate answer was not obtained until the next day. Sure enough, those were not real cursed spirits, but humans who had been transformed through magic.

After informing these cyborgs that they had died while being cyborged, Ieiri Shoko added that Yuji Itadori and Eri shouldn't feel any pressure.

Yuji Itadori was very angry when he learned everything, but this made him even more determined to find the criminal and get rid of him. It is not known whether Eri Inori felt any pressure because she is not here now.

She went ahead to find the high school student who survived the movie theater, Junpei Yoshino.

......

......

Based on the information provided by Mr. Ijichi, Eri Kimoto found the high school student without much effort.

He looks similar to the one in the surveillance video, with medium-long hair and bangs that almost cover most of the right side of his face. He looks rather thin and has a slightly gloomy look.

Eri Kimoto raised her eyebrows and kept a distance from him, neither too close nor too far. She looked at the boy's back and thought that this guy seemed to not know how to eat properly, otherwise why did he look so thin, unlike Fu... and unlike the other two of the same period who looked stronger.

At this moment, Yoshino Junpei hesitated at the intersection for a while, and finally turned into a slightly secluded alley. Qi Ben Eri followed him silently.

However, trouble also appeared in front of Junpei Yoshino.

The idiots from his school showed up, still in their school uniforms, blocking Yoshino Junpei's way in a frivolous manner, led by the idiot leader Tsuda.

How can he have a pretty girlfriend when he is so ugly? Not only his appearance, but his heart is equally ugly. So who on earth wants to look at his girlfriend even for a moment? Yoshino Junpei is extremely annoyed.

"Hey, Yoshino, why didn't you come to school again today? Are you afraid of us?"

Tsuda stretched out his hand to block his way, exchanged glances with his two companions, took two steps forward, and pushed Yoshino Junpei in the chest with such force that he staggered and hit the wall behind him.

"Of course he is. After all, we beat him so badly last time, hahahaha!"

"It would be nice if Yi was here too. I'm getting calluses from listening to her nagging these past few days."

"Hahahaha, after all, Tsubasa-chan was told that last time, so of course she was pissed!"

"Nene, beat this guy up now, then take a picture and send it to her."

Yoshino Junpei lowered his head, his bangs covering most of his face, making it impossible to see his expression. He didn't seem to be planning to resist, but his body was tense and his silence was almost eerie.

Eri Kimoto, who was leaning against the wall, yawned lazily, with tears in the corners of her eyes. She felt bored, a little too bored. Would Junpei Yoshino slap those school bullies who ganged up on others in the face... It seemed like he wouldn't.

Why not take this opportunity to test it out?

Taking two steps back, Qi Ben Eri casually glanced towards the alley entrance, and finally locked onto a man who was walking hurriedly. A low-level cursed spirit was entrenched on that man.

This level is enough, right? Qi Ben Eri stretched out her hand in disdain, and her slender fingers grabbed in the air. The dark red curse line accurately wrapped around the low-level curse spirit, and with a flick of her wrist, she pulled it over.

She even struggled to knead the cursed spirit into the shape of a baseball with disgust, and then Eri Kimoto used a super invincible standard pitching posture, and whoosh - smashed the cursed spirit onto the leader who was stretching his wrist and preparing to deal with Yoshino Junpei.

“!”

"What the hell!?"

Tsuda only felt a chill on the back of his neck, and an indescribable cold feeling seemed to be attached to him, but when he reached out to touch, there was nothing. He just thought it was his own illusion and didn't pay any attention to it.

At this moment, Yoshino Junpei, who had just opened his eyes wide, looked in the direction of the cursed baseball.

"Yo." Eri Kimoto raised her hand lazily.

"Can you really see it?"

"that."

As she tilted her head, her long black hair fell from her shoulders. Eri Kimoto walked slowly in front of the group. She looked straight at the boy in front of her and asked doubtfully, "Are you also one of those wild sorcerers?"

"..you're following me."

Yoshino Junpei spoke calmly, his voice not loud but clear.

The rest of the people were confused. One of the younger brothers standing behind Tsuda was even fearless enough to stretch out his hand, flicking his tongue and howling, asking the girl who suddenly appeared to stay away. He also tried to put his hand on Eri Kimoto's shoulder and push her. Of course, his hand was broken immediately and he flew backwards three meters.

"Get out of here! Who allowed you to touch me?" Qi Ben Eri showed an expression that was even more disgusted than touching a cursed spirit, and kicked the man away.

"Ugly thing in the way!"

Yoshino Junpei: "..."

After dealing with them, Eri Kimoto looked at him again. After noticing the boy's strange expression, she hummed, a hint of interest in the corner of her lips, and quickly brought the topic back.

"Yeah, I'm following you."

Eri Kimoto replied matter-of-factly, "What's the matter?"

Yoshino Junpei didn't seem to expect this guy to admit it so straightforwardly. He was silent for a few seconds, a complex and difficult-to-understand emotion swirling in his silent eyes, which eventually turned into the next question: "...Since you're following me, is it really okay for you to show up like this?"

"Isn't this meant for you to find out?"

Eri Kimoto shrugged, "Just make sure you can see the curse."

Yoshino Junpei's eyes swept across Tsuda's neck, and when they returned to Norimoto Eri, there was clearly a strange scrutiny: "He...what will happen to him?"

"He'll be unlucky for a while," Eri Kimoto also looked at the man's neck and touched his chin as if thinking seriously. "At this level, it's probably just a matter of falling down while walking, getting a toothache when drinking water, getting a minor illness, or something like that."

With an expression of doubt about what he heard, Yoshino Junpei said: "............."

Hello.

Are you really a serious sorcerer?

There was some doubt in Yoshino Junpei's eyes, but when he heard the word "stomach nourishment", Tsuda, the person involved, also raised his head suddenly. He seemed to know that the two people were talking about him.

This girl appeared out of nowhere, with those dark red eyes that seemed to glow in the dim alley. Compared to her delicate appearance, her smiling expression now looked more like a devil. She looked at him as if he was garbage, which made Tsuda stop all his words in his throat.

An inexplicable chill rose from the soles of his feet, and he moved backwards unconsciously. The other two followers also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, especially the man with a broken hand, who fled in terror. Tsuda and the other man didn't dare to say anything and almost crawled to catch up with him.

The last bit of sunset light was about to disappear in the alley, and only Eri Kimoto and Junpei Yoshino were left in the alley.

"so,"

"Where are you going if you don't go home?"

Yoshino Junpei was silent in response to the man's sudden question. He was a little confused by the unruly sorcerer in front of him who was wearing the uniform of the Jujutsu High School. He felt that this man was completely different from the image of a sorcerer he had imagined.

"I..." The boy opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

Where to go if not home?

Yoshino Junpei himself didn't know.

Qi Ben Eri didn't seem to be in a hurry to wait for his answer. Her dark red eyes seemed particularly bright in the dim alley, as if they could see through people's hearts.

She looked at him with interest and a smile for a few seconds, then took out her cell phone and called someone.

"Hey, Mr. Ijichi," the girl's voice echoed in the quiet alley. Her voice was clearly businesslike, yet it was somewhat casual, with a lazy rise at the end. "We found him. Yeah, he can see the curse, and he's right next to me... huh?"

Hearing that Nanami Kento had gone to find the culprit who transformed people into curses, Norimoto nodded and continued, "That's pretty efficient, but is it really okay for him to go alone... Hey, want Yuhito to come and join me? Sure."

Eri Nori hung up the phone, quickly sent someone her location, and then looked up at the confused Yoshino Junpei: "Is it okay if I ask my friends to come over? It's getting late, why don't we go eat first."

“…”

This is not a question at all but a statement, okay? Yoshino Junpei continued to look at her silently without answering.

Then he watched her search on her phone for a long time, and finally looked at him undecidedly: "How about something sweet?"

...and that's in a declarative tone, you bastard!

"You're not in a hurry to go back anyway,"

Eri Kimoto put her phone back into her pocket, blinking her big eyes as she looked at him. After a few seconds, she covered her lips and asked in an even stranger tone, "My friends and I are not very familiar with this place. Yoshino-san, please introduce us to it later. Wait... Yoshino-san, the look on your face right now... are you—"

"Would you like to treat us to a meal as well?!"

Yoshino Junpei: "???"

This is clearly a hesitation to speak out of frustration and doubt!

How did she come to this conclusion? I really want to complain!

Yoshino Junpei's mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath, trying to express his own opinion: "Um...I..."

"Okay! Then take that as your agreement!" Unexpectedly, Eri Kimoto didn't give him a chance to refuse. She didn't seem to be listening to him at all. After cheering, she urged the man to leave quickly: "We have no choice but to be blunt!"

Yoshino Junpei was furious: "At least listen to what I'm saying, you bastard!!!"

.

After being half-dragged to a famous coffee shop nearby, Yoshino Junpei's mind was still a little confused. He was shocked by Eri Kimoto's style of doing things, and was also confused about himself sitting there. In the end, everything turned into silence when he saw the girl preparing the cake opposite him.

Yoshino Junpei was helpless and hesitated for a long time before asking, "No, who are you?"

"Eh? Haven't I introduced myself yet?"

The girl raised her head and smiled faintly: "My name is Eri Kimoto, and I'm a first-year student at Jujutsu High School."

Yoshino Junpei's eyes swept across the vortex buttons of her school uniform. He just saw it. Mr. Masato had mentioned the Jujutsu High School before, but he didn't expect to see a student from the Jujutsu High School now.

He was indeed somewhat curious about the Jujutsu High School.

The warm yellow lights of the cafe were in stark contrast to the dim alley just now. After introducing herself, Eri Kimoto seemed to be obsessed with studying the menu. After looking at it for a long time, she said regretfully that the matcha latte she wanted was not available, but the cakes looked delicious, so she was not nervous at all.

Yoshino Junpei wondered why this guy was following him. Could it be that the other day at the cinema, Mr. Masato had transformed those high school students into strange shapes? He wondered if they had found out about Mr. Masato...

At this time, I felt a little nervous and awkward.

The boy felt that he shouldn't be here. He felt a little out of place in the warm and relaxing atmosphere here. He was hesitating whether to say something, but at this moment the door of the cafe was pushed open.

"Eri-sama, I'm here!"

Yuji Itadori's energetic voice rang out instantly, and a young man with his signature pink hair appeared in the store. After locking onto his target, he rushed over in a few steps and sat down next to Eri Nobimoto.

"Hey! Hello!"

Yoshino Junpei could also see that he raised his hand and greeted him very naturally.

"Wow, are you Junpei Yoshino? Hello, hello, I'm Yuji Itadori, nice to meet you!"

Yoshino Junpei also fell silent at his familiarity: "...Hello."

Looking at the two people in front of him, already absorbed in studying the menu, Yoshino Junpei couldn't help but wonder. Honestly, he was a bit speechless. The girl's behavior was hard to understand, and the new boy was even worse... Were they really the sorcerers that Mr. Masato had described?!

These two people seem very strange...

After placing their order, Eri Norimoto told Yuji Itadori everything that had just happened. Yoshino Junpei swore! He swore that when he heard the word "stomach-nourishing," Yuji Itadori seemed to break his silence for a moment...

But he quickly accepted it, chuckled twice and said, "You are worthy of being Eri-sama."

Yoshino Junpei really wanted to ask what the ingredients of you sorcerers are... but he politely kept his mouth shut.

And why, it feels like these two people... Yoshino Junpei frowned slightly, wondering if they wanted to relax their vigilance. Are they pretending to be completely calm?

But he soon found out that it wasn't the case... The two of them didn't seem to care about him at all. After chatting for a few sentences, they started discussing when the re-screening of Earthworm 3 in the cinema would be completed.

"Yoshino-san, you should also like to watch that earthworm man, right?"
