Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Here comes my brother! ...

"Something's strange around Yoshino Junpei's house."

Upon hearing this, Nanami Kento instantly became serious. In response to Eri Kimoto's careful explanation, he repeatedly reminded her not to be impulsive, saying that he would be there soon, but things would not develop as simply as he said.

"Bang--"

A not-too-exaggerated explosion sounded, and the cursed spirit that had just been sent into the alley to check the situation was attacked! Eri Kimoto made her judgment and decision in the blink of an eye.

"Hiren!"

"You stay here to protect everyone!"

She turned over and jumped off the balcony. Eri Qimoto rushed into the alley like an arrow. Without stopping, she raised her hand and cast a spell to summon another cursed spirit to protect her on both sides.

This is a residential area.

It can only be resolved as quickly as possible to avoid causing more casualties!

When seeing the cursed spirit in front of her, Qi Ben Eri's face became even more sour. The reason was that it was another cursed spirit that seemed to have the same strength as Dai Tian who had just metamorphosed.

"The field expands."

She started with a big move, without any nonsense, and was absolutely decisive as Eri Kimoto unfolded her territory for the second time.

This time the degree of completion seemed to be much higher than last time, directly trapping the cursed spirit into the world dominated by her.

...

...

By the time Nanami Kento arrived, everything was resolved without even alerting many ordinary people. The lights of the police car attracted the attention of passers-by who were confused on the roadside. The rustling sounds of people whispering to each other sounded like they were guessing whose pressure cooker had exploded.

After handing over all the necessary matters to Ijichi, he walked towards Eri Norimoto and Yuji Itadori. Behind them was a bewildered young man. Nanami Kento's eyes briefly passed over Junpei Yoshino's face.

"Nanaha!" Yuji Itadori waved his hand vigorously and greeted: "You came so quickly!"

Nanami Kento pushed up his glasses and turned his gaze away from the remnant of cursed energy not far away. He calmly scanned the three young men before him, confirming they were all alright. His expression wasn't particularly good, "Are you all alright?"

"Something's going on."

With a calm expression, Eri Kimoto stretched out her hand to him and slowly spread out her palm. What appeared in Nanami Kento's eyes was a finger, the finger of Ryomen Sukuna.

"...Why is it here?" With a frown, Nanami Kento took it and found nothing strange after checking it.

Eri Kimoto also wanted to know the answer. She felt that everything that had just happened was very strange. This finger was too easy to get, so easy that it even made people suspect that it was a fake or a generous gift from God.

Obviously, both are impossible, and there is no outrageous plot that a cursed spirit that just swallowed a finger just happened to appear here. But no matter what, the finger must be taken back for careful examination.

Just when the two of them were lost in thought, Itadori Yuji blinked, raised his hand obediently, and asked in a low voice: "Should I eat this finger now? Or should I eat it when we get back? To be on the safe side, I also want to wait until Gojo-sensei is here to eat it!"

He stared in disbelief at the pink-haired boy who already had a good impression of him. Yoshino Junpei behind him had already widened his eyes and said in surprise: "What...what——"

"Is this really edible?!!!" Yoshino Junpei doubted his ears: "This, this, this... isn't this unhygienic?"

Qi Ben Eri patted his shoulder in a pretentiously thoughtful manner: "Eat it, and you will gain extraordinary strength. Do you understand, young man?"

Yoshino Junpei covered his mouth, looking extremely shocked: "...I don't really understand!!"

"Would you like one, Yoshino-kun? What if it tastes good?" Eri Kimoto lowered her voice and began, "There are only twenty fingers like this in the entire world."

Yuji on the side also started to take over the show at this time. He looked at Yoshino Junpei with burning eyes and said, "I just closed my eyes and swallowed it!"

Yoshino Junpei shook his head frantically, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He opened and closed his mouth but couldn't utter a single word. The look he gave the two teenagers became like a fan-shaped diagram. If he had to put it into words, it would probably be one part suspicion, two parts shock, and seven parts indescribable.

"Twenty fingers?"

Yoshino Junpei, being honest, chose not to let the subject drop: "It's the ten fingers and...feet...toes, right?"

Thinking of his toes, Yoshino Junpei's face became even weaker, with an expression that said, "Enough, that's enough. You are awesome people in the world of curse." However, the two people in front of him shook their heads vigorously.

"That's twenty fingers. That monster has four hands."

"Including the toes, there are thirty."

"Yue....I'm going to throw up just thinking about it."

"You really can't eat toes!"

"Yeah, yeah! That's really not clean anymore!"

"But can you gain his strength by eating his toes?"

"Of course not. What do you think that monster is? Tang Monk?"

"Oh, is this true? Oh, that's right! I remember now! I think I mentioned that in class!"

“…”

“.....”

Nanami Kento pushed his glasses with an expressionless face. He just put his fingers away and confirmed in his heart that the two guys who suddenly started fighting were indeed his students.

......

......

Three days passed in a flash.

When the black car carrying Junpei Yoshino stopped steadily at the door of Tokyo Jujutsu High School, Eri Kimoto, who had already received the news, was leaning against a large rock outside the door with her hands in her pockets, looking unhappy.

"Here I come."

Qi Ben Eri raised her eyes as a greeting.

After getting off the bus with his simple luggage, Yoshino Junpei immediately took in the environment before him, which was different from an ordinary school. He quickly walked behind Eri Nori, greeted her quietly and honestly, and asked, "Can I take a picture and send it to my mother?"

"Of course, it's a religious school on the surface, not a shameful place." Qi Ben Eri, who was in a bad mood today, pouted unhappily. When she thought of the reason why she was provoked, she felt angry again. How could that silver-haired idiot be so hands-off!

"Shouldn't you take care of the person you picked up, Eri?!"

"Hot-blooded teacher Gojo Satoru is very busy! I heard that a famous dessert shop has opened in Sendai, and Gojo-sensei really has no choice but to go there—"

"I'll leave it to you, Eri-chan! Go for it!"

"The most reliable Gojo teacher believes in you! Yeah yeah yeah!!"

Thinking of this, Qi Ben Eri's face turned even uglier!!

"Come with me."

After suppressing her anger towards the man, Qi Ben Eri stopped talking and turned around to lead her new classmate into the school. "I'll show you around the school on the way to the dorm. We also need to go see the principal first."

Seeing that the boy next to her seemed to be getting a little nervous, Qi Ben Eri glanced at him and asked, "Are you afraid of having a meeting with the principal?"

Junpei Yoshino nodded vigorously, with a nervous and expectant look, trying to get Eri Norimoto to give him some advice. He had talked about this topic with Yuji Itadori before, and what Yuji Itadori said about his own interview experience was really scary.

Qi Ben Eri seemed a little perfunctory about this topic: "I haven't been interviewed, but it shouldn't be difficult. Principal Ye Moth is a very nice person."

Yoshino Junpei hesitated for a second before finally asking, "Will we talk about some of the topics we've discussed before?"

The boy's hesitant look made Eri Kimoto stop suddenly, thinking that she had given Yoshino Junpei to the wrong person.

After all, Eri Kimoto thinks that she is a person who does things according to her own ideas. She herself does not agree with the great principles of saints or comic protagonists when asked to instill in others, and she is simply unable to guide others with correct theories... So why did Gojo Satoru dare to hand over Yoshino Junpei to her?

"You probably won't be asked. If you are, it doesn't matter. Just tell us what you really think."

Eri Qimoto silently looked up at the even more nervous boy. At this time, she had begun to recall the content of the conversation that day.

That night, after Nanami Kento took her and Itadori Yuji away, he left someone to continue secretly monitoring the situation near Yoshinoya. Eri Kimoto was not very reassured, and the next day she went to find him with Itadori Yuji, who was also worried.

When they found a place to eat dessert, they talked about the topic of Jujutsu High School in general, and asked Yoshino Junpei's thoughts. Then, Itadori Yuji and Yoshino Junpei seemed to have turned into two parties in a debate.

One said 'help others within your ability', the other said 'indifference is the ultimate virtue that humans should possess'

The two people's topics seemed to be completely opposite. During the debate, they even used their own experiences as examples. It was at this time that they completely understood each other.

After talking for a long time, they still felt that what they said made sense. Seeing that the debate would not end easily for a while, they finally looked at Eri Kimoto, probably wanting to see which side she supported more.

To be honest, Eri Kimoto felt that what both of them said was not very good, and she didn't support either side.

Two pairs of bright eyes were staring at her. Qi Ben Eri felt that she couldn't say anything profound. She leaned back on the sofa and thought for a while, then finally said lazily, "I don't think what you two said are contradictory. It's just that everyone is different, and it's impossible for everyone to live in the same way."

'It's impossible for everyone to live in the same way'

Yoshino Junpei's eyes lit up instantly. After all, what Norimoto Eri said now seemed strangely similar to what the real person said at that time. Mr. Really said at that time, "Life has no value or weight, it is just reincarnation." "So you can do whatever you want." "Eat when you are hungry and kill when you hate."

Masato-san also said that he would affirm everything about him. Now, he was even looking forward to what Eri Kimoto, the sorcerer who had opened his eyes since her appearance, would say next.

"It's right to live for yourself," Eri Norimoto blinked and looked at him, "but we can't completely lack rules."

“…Huh?”

"Ah, you don't think that as long as you have the strength, you can do whatever you want?" Eri Qimoto found his expression funny and thought about how to give him a simple and easy-to-understand example to let him know that this world does not allow people to do evil, even though they are the ones who have the strength to dominate the weak.

"Junpei-san, don't you have anything you care about?" she asked.

How could there be nothing I care about? Yoshino Junpei subconsciously opened his mouth and whispered "Mother".

"For example, if your mother was inexplicably hurt by someone as capable as us one day, what would you do?"

Just thinking about it... he was so angry that he wanted everyone to be buried with his mother. Yoshino Junpei pursed his lips.

"Right, you see, this is a very simple rule. While it binds you, it also protects you or the people you care about. And as you just mentioned, the indifference also applies. If Aunt Nagi is accidentally haunted by a cursed spirit and you're not by her side, would you want someone to help her get rid of the cursed spirit, or would you rather she just die at its mercy?"

Yoshino Junpei remained silent.

"Look, if you put yourself in other people's shoes, it's the same for others. The sorcerer has saved many people in obscurity," Eri Kimoto paused as Yuji Itadori nodded frantically.

"I can remove curses and save people, but not everyone. It's good enough for me not to do anything to people like trash. So I don't really agree with what Yuji said. Rather than saving everyone, I only save the people I want to save."

As she was speaking, she suddenly chuckled, lowered her head, took a sip of her matcha latte, and muttered something vaguely.

Yuji Itadori, who had pointy ears, turned to look at her: "Whose words did you really remember? Who? Gojo-sensei?"

Eri Nori rolled her eyes at his speculation, then looked across at Yoshino Junpei who was deep in thought. "If you're still confused, why not come to Jujutsu High School and join us? After all, we're only in our teens, and it's perfectly normal to be confused."

"Perhaps you can find the path you want to take at the Jujutsu High School?"

Yoshino Junpei was in a dilemma for a long time, and even wanted to find Zhenren-san to hear his opinion, but the place where Zhenren-san was had collapsed, and it was obvious that Zhenren had disappeared.

In the end, he still chose to follow his own ideas and come to Jujutsu High School. After all, Eri Kimoto had said at the time that it didn't matter even if he couldn't adapt to the high school, as he could still drop out.

The memories ended, and Yoshino Junpei silently looked at the girl half a step away. No one knew what Eri Kimoto was thinking at the moment.

As if he had finally made up his mind, Yoshino Junpei looked towards the principal's office in front of him with a serious expression: "...Hmm!"

He will answer the principal's interview according to his own ideas!!

.

After waiting outside the door for half an hour, Yoshino Junpei finally came out. The boy, who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, quickly locked his eyes on Eri Kimoto.

Yoshino Junpei said nervously and stammered: "Qi Ben classmate...Principal Ye Mo asked you to come in..."

"Me?" Eri Kimoto asked doubtfully, "Does the principal have anything to tell me? What did you talk about?"

"I talked about what happened when I first met you guys, about those guys... guys..." He accidentally let slip that those male classmates of his who were born in the 1980s were beaten, and Yoshino Junpei's voice became even softer.

"Anyway, Principal Ye Moth wants you to go in and...be...be..."

"What? A compliment?"

Qi Ben Eri's hands were on the door, ready to push it open, but she couldn't hear the boy's mosquito-like hesitant voice. She turned her head to look at Yoshino Junpei and said, "Louder!"

"Get...get beaten!"

"Principal Yega wants you to go in and get beaten." Yoshino Junpei said with a wandering look.

“…”

Eri Kimoto withdrew her hand.

Pretending not to hear anything, she turned around and slipped away!
