Chapter 40 Case Escalation
I have to say, no matter how emotional and literary the words in the book are, they are not as annoying as what this foul-mouthed man said in real life.
No wonder Gojo Satoru came to Tokyo from Kyoto. Just by looking at his attitude of looking down on people outside of Kyoto, you can tell what kind of people the people in the family over there are.
Even the Kanda family, where she had stayed for a few days, had a strong smell of feudal remnants, which made her want to vomit just thinking about it.
[Alas, when I think about it this way, I feel really sorry for my friends in the technical high school. I had to dress up as such a rotten orange in order to make Gojo Satoru break off the engagement. It was hard for them to endure it. 】
No, no, no, others don’t know, but he really thinks it’s very interesting and Haibara Yu enjoys it.
But no matter what, facing this disgusting man, she is determined to fight back!
Kanda Kanon cheered up, walked to the center of the crowd with her head held high, acting like a leader.
Even though he was the shortest among everyone, his arrogance reached two meters high. She raised her chin and looked at the person opposite her with an arrogant look, a cold smile on her lips, and unconcealable contempt between her brows.
"When it comes to being uneducated, you are the most uneducated one. You keep talking about men and women. Do you think women are inherently inferior to men?" Kanda Kanon sneered, "I think you are afraid that women are better than you in every way, so you brainwash them. As a result, even you believe that they are inherently inferior to men."
"Just fool others, but don't fool yourself. It's the 21st century now. Go out and see the world more often. Don't stay in your small world like a frog in a well, okay?"
The frog in the well wanted to speak again and again, but he couldn't get a word in. Kanda Kanon's little mouth kept talking without any pause. Anyone who saw this would say that she was a very eloquent talker.
"What an unreasonable woman!" When Kanda Kanon finally stopped to breathe, the man shouted angrily, "Whose family are you from? I will let the useless guy in your family discipline you!"
"Listen carefully, I am the heir of the Zenin family, Zenin Naoya, and in terms of strength, I am also an elite in the world of sorcery. I have seen many women like you who can only yell, and I was born to be worlds apart from you. A vase like you who only has a pretty face is not even worthy of being my concubine!" Zenin Naoya glared at her fiercely, his eyes full of disgust.
He could tell at a glance from the woman's temperament that she came from a family of sorcerers. He knew all the women who were slightly famous in the sorcerer world, but he had never seen this woman.
It's ridiculous that a woman who has no such name in the world of sorcery dares to shout at him!
"Oh my, you're so awesome, shouldn't I praise you?" Kanda Kanon sneered, "Only the weak will extend their butcher knives to the weaker ones. The less they have, the more they will emphasize something. Your contempt and suppression of women will only make you look more incompetent."
Kanda Kanon was pressing forward step by step. She was like a blazing flame and just looking at her would seem to burn your eyes.
"Oh, you are just a weakling. What qualifications do you have to point fingers here?" Zenin Naoya's handsome face was terribly distorted. He had been praised since he was born and attracted attention wherever he went, but this was the first time he was pointed at on the nose and scolded by a woman.
"I'm weak, so what?" Kanda Kanon didn't feel guilty as he had imagined. Instead, she straightened her chest as a matter of course, acting as if she was weak and therefore right.
"Do you care so much about me? Why don't you apply for the position of my housekeeper?" Kanda Kanon covered her face and sneered, "I think you look better when you carry my shoes."
"You!" Zenin Naoya had never suffered such humiliation. His face was ferocious and he gnashed his teeth in hatred as if he wanted to kill her.
His fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound. A hint of cruelty flashed in Zenin Naoya's eyes. He never said he would not hit women.
Women like this who don't know the rules should be properly educated...
Zenin Naoya took a step forward, raised his sandbag-sized fist, and stared at her menacingly, like a poisonous snake.
"Okay, Kanda, calm down. Instead of arguing about this, you should hurry up and complete the task." Nanami Kento pulled the girl behind him with a cold expression, and then looked at Zenin Naoya with his cold eyes, "She has no ill intentions, she is just a little childish. But you have said enough, let's stop here."
Haibara Yu also came over and protected her behind him together with Nanami Kento.
"...Ha!" Zenin Naoya laughed angrily.
These two people had been watching the fun just now, but now they jumped out. Just now, he didn't stop this woman from speaking wildly, and he didn't stop her from insulting and mocking him, but he did stop her when he wanted to teach her a lesson.
"I never thought that such a tasteless and vulgar woman would be pursued by a blind man." Zenin Naoya was really enlightened.
"Ha! That's better than a useless man like you. What's the matter? Are you jealous of me because no one is pursuing me?" Kanda Kanon, who was blocked behind them, squeezed her head out from between the two of them and shouted loudly and arrogantly.
"...Okay, okay, stop arguing." Nanami Kento was silent for a moment, turned around, pushed Kanda Kanon's back, and walked into the building.
"What did you say?" Zenin Naoya shouted loudly, determined to drown out her voice. He followed them angrily, shouting as he walked, "Do you know how many women want to get into my bed? I have high standards, and there is no need to be jealous of a low-class woman like you!"
"Heh, climbing into your bed? What do I want from you? Because you dyed your hair yellow, because you have a bad mouth!" Kanda Kanon was pushed forward, but when she heard the words, she turned her head and started to quarrel.
"You are an unreasonable woman! Whoever marries you will be unlucky!" Zenin Naoya had never seen such an unreasonable woman, and his face turned red with anger.
"Don't worry, my fiancé is an excellent one! My husband is different from a villain like you. He will not slander women. Because he is strong enough and always looks at the strong. A rotten man like you is not even worthy to be compared with him!" After Kanda Kanon was pressed down by Nanami Kento, she poked out her little head from the other side.
...She usually complains all the time, but now she is praising me. Nanami Kento pushed her head back again.
Having said that, these two people bicker like kindergarten kids, as if they would argue for a whole day over the 38th parallel on the table.
Kento Nanami looked as exhausted as a kindergarten teacher with two naughty kids.
If Senior Gojo was here, he would probably be super happy. Haibara Yuu beside him was also amazed.
"You still have a fiancé!" Zenin Naoya couldn't believe it. Who on earth would marry a wife like this? It's such a misfortune for the family.
Zenin Naoya's eyes turned into one of pity and he shook his head, feeling sorry for the woman's fiancé.
I don’t know whose young master he is.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Kanda Kanon suddenly woke up. I was so excited about the argument just now that I didn't react. Has she come in?
[The sky is falling, it’s all because of this despicable man, how did I get in here, the sky is going to kill me! 】
Although it was daytime, the abandoned building was dimly lit and looked eerie. Judging from the layout inside, this building used to be a sanatorium.
The whole building has four floors. Half of the wall on the outside of the building has fallen off. Needless to say, there is no sign at all. The windows are also broken. The wind just now blew in from the broken parts.
The entire building was not very large, and they could almost see the end of their floor at a glance. The reception hall was in a dilapidated state, with broken copper, iron, and stone bricks scattered everywhere, and some abandoned wheelchairs randomly placed on the ground.
"A sanatorium... This kind of place is the easiest to accumulate negative emotions. No wonder a second-level cursed spirit appeared." Zenin Naoya looked around nonchalantly, "I heard that there are still people trapped here. Could this broken place be another place of adventure? These ordinary people are really causing trouble for others."
Kanda Kanon was relieved instead. She didn't think that Kuroo Tetsuro and the others would come to such a place. Those boys loved volleyball to a certain extent, and most of them would practice when they had nothing to do. Why would they come here?
All I can say is that they were too concerned and too confused. This sanatorium was only two blocks away from the school where they were training, and there was only one school nearby. So when she heard that the trapped people were students, she subconsciously thought it was them. After all, the final exams were over and they were the only students in school.
The call didn't go through, probably because I was in training at that time.
After figuring it out, Kanda Kanon felt a little depressed. After knowing that what was recorded in the book was not reality, she became a little lazy and even her thinking became slow.
Perhaps this is the relaxation that comes from having no sense of crisis. Kanda Kanon shook her head. Although she is no longer worried about the future in the distant future, she has not left the world of curse yet and dangers still exist.
Be careful next time!
"Do we need to search separately? This will be more efficient." Zenin Naoya pointed upstairs.
"Indeed!" Haibara Yu agreed with a look on his face. It would be better to end the battle quickly and let Kanda leave here as soon as possible.
Everyone had no objection and prepared to act separately.
But with this movement, Zenin Naoya's eyes became dull.
"...Wait a minute." Zenin Naoya held Huihara Yu's shoulders and said in disbelief, "You three should form a group."
Normally, four people should be grouped in pairs, right? Is he being excluded? Zenin Naoya felt that he had suffered more anger today than in his entire life.
"Is there any problem?" Nanami Kento asked seriously.
This mission is for the three of them. This guy is an outsider to begin with, so what's wrong with the three of them teaming up together? Besides, protecting Kanda Kanon is the most important thing.
...He was really fed up with these country bumpkins, Zenin Naoya rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'll go by myself." Zenin Naoya turned his head and walked towards the stairs.
But accidents always come very suddenly. Before Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu could react, Zenin Naoya stepped on empty air and fell into a black hole that suddenly appeared on the ground.
"!!!" The two opened their eyes wide. They clearly hadn't sensed any breath of cursed spirits until just now, so how could it be...that's right!
"Kanda...classmate?" The two turned around and were shocked to find that Kanda Kanon had disappeared without a trace.
No wonder it suddenly became quiet, it turned out it disappeared!
"Damn it!" Nanami Kento growled, "We can't see the remnants, split up and look for them quickly..."
Oops oops oops!
Even with them following them, such a mistake still happened. If something happened to Kanda Kanon, then they...
Nanami Kento clenched his teeth and dared not think about it anymore.
"...Wait a minute." Nanami Kento suddenly realized something and quickly called out to Huihara Yu, "This is a level 2 case, right?"
"Hey, why are you still talking about this at this time!" Huihara Yu was extremely anxious.
"Two people were transferred silently. A second-level cursed spirit doesn't have any spells..." Nanami Kento's face was gloomy. He took the cursed tool behind him and said, "The cursed spirit that can use spells must be at least a quasi-first-level cursed spirit. Haibara, there's something wrong with the mission data."
Quasi-first level... Huibara's ambition was dashed.
Second level and quasi-first level are two different concepts.
On the other side——
Kanda Kanon, who was inexplicably transferred to a small dark room, was shivering. She held Amasahoko tightly in both hands, trying to get a little warmth.
But she pretended to be calm because...
"I really didn't expect that I would be assigned to the same group with you in the end." Zenin Naoya next to him said sarcastically.
Yes, I never thought that I would end my life with a rotten orange...
Kanda Kanon was crying violently in her heart. Speaking of which, why hasn’t that stupid dog come yet? ! !
At the entrance of the sanatorium.
Cursed Spirit A, who had been following the exhaust of the car, finally reached its destination.
It is a second-level cursed spirit, and it was not easy for it to come this far. Fortunately, cursed spirits cannot get tired, otherwise it would be exhausted like a dog.
"...Woo!" It growled at the assistant supervisor driving the car, glanced into the nursing home, and twitched its nose.
"Awooo!" It screamed and rushed in instantly.
“…What is that?” The assistant supervisor who came with Zenin Naoya looked confused.
"It's okay, that's Kanda-san's cursed spirit. It probably misses its master." The assistant supervisor of the trio laughed.
Everything was calm outside the sanatorium and no one noticed anything unusual.
“Born from darkness, darker than black, all filth and dirt are purified.” After the curtain was closed, the assistant supervisors also breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just a level 2 case, and there's a level 1 sorcerer, Zenin Naoya, involved, so this rescue mission is easy.
The people outside were leisurely and didn't care about the lives of the people inside at all.
Others may not know, but Curse Spirit A knows that his life is in danger.
Damn it, can’t that human woman let the cursed spirit be more careful? ! !
