Chapter 172 Try your best but still the Air Force

172.

The juvenile detention center returned to its original state.

Yuji Itadori expressed his gratitude to you and said that when he really faced death, he was not as fearless as he thought.

You thought he would give up the idea of ​​becoming a sorcerer and return to being an ordinary person.

Well, this is normal after all. No matter it is an NPC or a person in real life, only when they are truly standing on the brink of life and death will they realize that some of their previous ideas were ridiculously childish.

"So--" Yuji Itadori suddenly bowed deeply to you, and said in a very loud voice, "I am still too weak, please teach me how to become stronger! Auntie boss!"

you:?

For a moment, you heard a burst of exciting BGM.

"Young man, I won't lie to you." You patted Yuji Itadori's shoulder, looking serious, "There is a way. As long as you can hold on, it won't be a problem to blow up the world with one punch."

"Eh?" This time it was Yuji Itadori who was confused. "Really... is it true?"

"Do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and run 10 kilometers every day." You took your hand back, "Persevere to the end, and your hair will also leave you. When you get a smooth and new egg-shaped head, you will find--"

You lowered your voice and pretended to be deep: "You have become balder, but also stronger!"

The three people present all looked confused.

The jokes ended here. You directly rejected Yuji Itadori's wish to become stronger, because he could not learn professional skills without the professional crystals that you Eozea adventurers must have.

If you want to be a sorcerer, you still need to find a professional to teach you.

"Look at Xiaohui." You pulled over the silently sighing Fushiguro Megumi, "When he was this old, he didn't know much about the world of magic. After learning, he can even explain to me what blueberry yogurt is... Oh, I want to eat the bowl of honey yogurt with chopped nuts..."

I'll go to Panzhuzijiao to find Xia Yujie and take your shop back. Then I'll let Mi-chan come over to cook for you... slurp.

"…These are all common sense." Fushiguro Megumi sighed again. He looked at Yuji Itadori and said in a light tone, "You can become a sorcerer without cursed power, but you have to work harder…"

"No problem!" Yuji Itadori interrupted him and smiled brilliantly, "I won't fall behind, Fushiguro, Kugizaki."

He walked over to the long-dead NPC, put the body on his back, and turned his head: "Now, let's take them home."

Megumi Fushiguro didn't say anything else, but just quietly carried the other body on his back.

Kugizaki Norose looked a little unhappy. She stole a glance at you and whispered shyly, "I still want to maintain my image in front of my idol..."

She really thinks that you are handsome and strong as a heavy sword player, not to mention that you saved her once - you are the kind of confident and beautiful person she admires. It is normal for her to regard you as an idol and pursue you, right?

"Hey, it's all your fault, you brats!" She rolled up her sleeves and walked angrily towards the intact body of the high school boy. "If you can't get the boss's signature, your wallets will be waiting for your apology!"

Kugizaki No Rose carried the body on her shoulders, put her hands on her waist, and walked out first: "Let's go, boys."

You think this sister is very confident and cute - a different kind of cuteness from Glass, and she even compliments you on how handsome you are, how classy!

You were very happy and stuffed several steamed buns into Nagizaki No Rose's hand: "Thank you for liking it, auntie. Come, have some steamed buns. If not, there are more."

You are such an enthusiastic aunt, running at high speed to squeeze into the crowd of experts and give visible cakes to NPCs.

*

After making sure that Yiji Zhijie Gao had woken up, you waved goodbye to the three high school students and said that you would definitely come and play with them next time.

Now you have to ride the Miri Hat to meet the cursed spirit that you and Freddy raised, and then go to find Xia Yujie.

The village is still the same as it was when you last came here, small and run-down, with only about a hundred people.

It's just that their mental state is a little bit poor, and they basically have lifeless looks in their eyes, and most of them go about their daily activities with a dull look on their faces - there's a kind of beauty of a fake person being a human for the first time.

The big little icon is sitting at the highest point of the village, swinging its black linear legs boredly. When it notices you and Frey's appearance, it looks extremely happy, and in an instant, swirling pink flowers float out from its back.

After happily spinning a few circles on the spot, it casually pinched the NPCs passing by and intimidated them very skillfully.

The originally sluggish NPC was injected with a soul at this moment, twisting wildly in the hand of the icon man, screaming in fear: "Master Cube God, please don't eat me!"

After absorbing enough negative emotions from the villager NPC, the icon put the NPC down contentedly, and used his little line hands to roll up the negative emotions into a spell-powered rose.

It delivers this flower to you.

“Frey…” You put the flowers into your backpack, moved. “The child has grown up and knows to give flowers to aunt. I’m so moved.”

Frey also got a flower - the icon man squeezed it out of the unlucky NPC No. 2.

You extended Ryomen Sukuna's finger and tried to feed the icon figure, but as soon as you extended your finger, the figure jumped up and flew away on the spot like a cat that suddenly saw a cucumber.

"It said it didn't want this," Frey, who had become a translator of the spell language, told you. "It said it stinks and it won't eat it."

Well, if he doesn't want to eat it, then don't eat it, you sighed. What should you do if your child is picky about food? You can do whatever you want. After all, you are a player who will spoil the icon man.

I heard from Fushiguro that the top level of Jujutsu has been replaced by a new group of people, and their strength is comparable to the previous group... Hey, isn't this a coincidence? You need this kind of talent!

The level of the high-level spellcasters must be very high, right? They must have a lot of cursed power, right? It's not too much for them to come to the village and act as a 007 cursed power provider, and provide the icon figures with cursed power as a snack, right?

After planning your next journey, you reluctantly say goodbye to the icon man, but you didn't expect that the next second, the icon man shrinks himself to the size of a palm and jumps onto your shoulder.

"It wants to go out and play." Frey glanced at the icon man and said, "Take it with you. It won't be a problem."

It's too easy to catch the cursed spirit by yourself, take this with you.jpg

You looked at Frey, blinking your watery eyes, and covered your big cherry mouth in surprise: "Then this place is too scary, right?"

Even though he knew what you were going to say, Frey continued to cooperate with you and said, "Why?"

“Look—” You held the icon figure in your hand and raised it high, “There are three such cool dark knights here!”

“Hehehe, tremble!” You imitate the sinister and ruthless villains in movies and TV dramas, and let out a weird laugh that sounds both middle school and goose-like. “I will bring an irreversible darkness to this world!”

The icon figure sits in your hand and thinks for a few seconds, then pulls out a stick-drawn heavy sword and waves it in the air a few times, as if it is coordinating with your lines.

After completing this set of actions, it turned around and looked at Frey, as if wondering: Aren’t you going to join?

Frey was silent for a moment.

Then, he took out his weapon and stood back to back with you: "...I am the incarnation of darkness."

“And then we go woo-woo.”

“…Woohoo.”

＊

You are squatting by the village lake, fishing.

Yes, for some reason, there is a lake here.

Originally you wanted to go straight away, but when you were flying in the sky, you saw the fishing spot was lighting up - it was clearly tempting you to go fishing.

What a fishless fishing spot! I'll see you take out your fishing rod and catch all the king fish here!

…

"There's something wrong with this fishing spot." You look at Fred and say confidently, "I didn't catch any fish. This lake must be a fake lake!"

As soon as you finished speaking, a lively fish jumped out of the water and fell back into the lake.

You said nothing, but drew your heavy sword, selected the fish that just jumped out, and performed a leaping and chopping shadow attack.

"There's not a single fish in this lake." You calmly threw the tearful dead fish into your backpack and said in a more innocent tone, "I'm serious."

The shrunken icon doesn't understand what you are doing, but it takes out a stick figure fishing rod and starts fishing in the same manner as you did.

Not long after, it caught one - a red crispy sausage.

Or the octopus sausage version.

The icon man excitedly runs up to you and wants to brag. You stuff a cookie with the word "譽" on it and stare at what it just caught: Wow, it's another cursed spirit I've never seen before.

You turn off your perception filter and try to see what this cursed spirit actually looks like... I'm going to play Cthulhu on my red trumpet!

It's better to turn on the perception filter. At least it looks appetizing.

"Family... family is friends... we are all together..."

"New family... leaving together..."

The octopus sausage suddenly spoke human language, which stunned you and the icon man - no, can a cursed spirit speak so logically?

The icon man sat down and started shedding tears.

Frey said it was sad that it couldn't speak human language.

"Don't cry...family..."

The octopus sausage swam a few circles in the water anxiously, and finally it dived to the bottom of the lake and disappeared, leaving only ripples on the water surface.

"Frey," you realize, "Is this family member calling me?"

The icon figure tilts his head in confusion along with you.

"No." Freddy helps you retrieve the fishing rod you just set up. "I'm calling it."

As if to confirm Frey's words, the octopus sausage that had just dived to the bottom of the lake resurfaced and swam towards the icon man: "Family... don't be sad..."

It threw several condensed "humans" with terrified faces at the icon man.

The smoked icon pinched its nose with its black-lined hands and stepped back in disgust. Then it began to dance with its hands and feet proudly, saying, "I don't want to be fucked."

The octopus sausage thought for a while, then threw two fish spirits up.

The icon man gave the other party a thumbs up, turned around and dragged the cursed spirit to you, with stars shining behind him: Auntie, I brought you something good.

“Wow.” You tossed the cursed spirit into your backpack and exclaimed, “My child has made friends too.”

Hearing what you said, the icon scratched his head with his black hand, suddenly realized something, and ran to the lake and gave the octopus sausage a stick figure insect net.

"Frey, what is it saying?"

"It said," Frey looked away, his tone light, "Torgon gave us fish, it must want to catch jellyfish with us!"

Well… maybe not? You wonder, how come the little man and the octopus sausage are not a kind of "SpongeBob" and "Squidward"?
