Chapter 62 New School and New Friends

When the doorbell rang, Nanami Kento didn't really want to open the door.

However, he knew that even if he pretended not to be at home, the other party would find a way to get in - not to mention the existence of the Six Eyes, which actually cut off the option of "pretending not to be at home".

So he got up and opened the door.

"Hi~ Nanami! Long time no see, I'm here to give you a child!" Gojo Satoru held a little boy with brown curly hair in both hands and waved him in front of him as if showing off a pet.

"How is it, Nanami? Isn't this little guy cute? His slightly curly hair makes him look like a brown lamb, or a dog! But since he only bleats occasionally and doesn't bark, he should be a sheep - I'll give it to you!"

"..." Nanami Kento said calmly, "Mr. Gojo, please try not to give a child of this age a strange nickname. In addition, if you insist on abducting young children, I'm afraid I can only call the police."

"Eh? Kidnapping a child?? Is this how I am in Nanami's eyes—"

Gojo Satoru leaned back as he performed tactical maneuvers, his tone rising and falling in an orderly manner.

"I picked this up. I dug this survivor out of the ruins of the village deep in the mountains during the last mission. He seemed to have some talent as a sorcerer, so I took him with me."

Upon hearing this, Nanami Kento frowned slightly.

"I rarely have the time to do good things. I took him to treatment, shopping, and getting documents done for him during those days. But I was too busy to raise a child."

Gojo Satoru shook the boy in his hand again, "So I decided to give this interesting kid to you. Be happy! His name is Watanabe Weilai."

"Please don't make decisions for others. It's very troublesome." Nanami Kento said in a flat voice, "I'm also very busy. Mr. Gojo, please find someone else."

"You don't want it?" Gojo Satoru tilted his head slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression, "Ah, who else can I give it to? At this age, it's better for him to learn in society. And I don't know if he can awaken the technique. It's not appropriate to give it to the technical college."

"Then give it to Huibara? But Huibara has a younger sister at home, so it doesn't seem quite appropriate..."

Gojo Satoru dragged out the last syllable of his words, and said regretfully, "After thinking about it, it seems that we can only give him to an orphanage. How pitiful, a little guy who is unwanted by anyone, who knows, he might be bullied there—"

"Please, Nanami-san, please take me in."

As if sensing a possible fate from Gojo's words, the brown-haired boy who was held up by Gojo Satoru raised his dark eyes with a pitiful look.

"I will be good, study hard, and eat very little. Please, don't abandon me..."

Although Nanami Kento still looked indifferent, his voice was deliberately slowed down:

"Mr. Gojo should be able to find someone more suitable for you. And even if it's an orphanage, they can take good care of you. If I'm free on weekdays, I will visit you."

"Although, this child can see cursed spirits, but he doesn't understand spells."

"If he does this, he will attract the attention of the cursed spirits, and he will live in fear every day, and people around him will not understand him. How pitiful! Who knows, one day he might be discovered and eaten by the cursed spirits."

Gojo Satoru held the brown-haired boy's collar with one hand and pretended to wipe away tears with the other hand through his eye mask. His performance was rather exaggerated, but his words sounded very real.

At this moment, the little sheep Jiang Lai made full use of the appearance of this vest and the advantage of age, using the most powerful kitten eye attack (?), deliberately speaking in a soft and trembling voice with a slightly nasal tone:

"Please, I don't want to go to the welfare home... When I make money, I will repay you. For example, if I go on a mission, I might give you 3% or something, or make a big profit..."

Although the latter sentence is very tempting to complain, reliable adults do not dwell on it.

"It's not about the money." Nanami Kento replied.

“Please, please—” The brown-haired boy’s dark eyes were moist and he clasped his hands together.

"Nanaha Hai——" Gojo Satoru responded with a similar tone, drawing out the voice.

Under the gaze of the white-haired young man and the brown-haired boy, Nanami Kento sighed, and finally nodded and gave an affirmative answer:

"Okay, stay with me."

"Oh yeah, long live!" x2

The two people in front of him shook off their previous expressions and showed similar brilliant smiles. Gojo Satoru put the brown-haired boy on the ground and then high-fived him.

Nanami Kento: “…” I don’t know why, but I always feel like I’ve been cheated.

He rubbed his temple with one hand, feeling a little headache, and then said expressionlessly: "If there is nothing else, you can leave this child behind and leave, Mr. Gojo."

"Does this count as chasing people away, Nanami? So sad~~"

"I'm just stating the facts so you don't have to blame me for any delays you may have in returning to school."

After Nanami Kento decided to adopt the boy in front of him, although his expression remained serious and cold, his movements were very gentle. He gently led the boy to his side.

Gojo Satoru pulled out a stack of documents from his bag and handed them to the blond young man Nanami Kento:

"Here, here are all the things related to him. Some newly issued certificates, adoption agency procedures, physical examination reports, and a series of other things."

Nanami Kento: “…” So you were prepared in advance!

However, since he had agreed, there was no reason to go back on his word. He turned to the next page and began to simply browse the physical examination report.

"Oh, by the way, although the medical report doesn't show anything special, he seems to have headaches and weakness from time to time. He's not in good health." Gojo Satoru added, "Of course, it's not the effect of the curse."

"Didn't Mr. Gojo take him for further examination?"

"I've checked it out. The next few pictures are all from different hospitals, and they don't show any problems." Gojo Satoru said, "Maybe it's some unique and rare disease."

"It won't be too much trouble for Mr. Nanami," the brown-haired boy beside him raised his head slightly, his expression bright, "I can take care of myself, and it won't be too hard. It's just that occasionally, I may need to ask for leave from school or something..."

"If you need care, tell me." Nanami Kento said calmly, "Since I chose to adopt you, I have a responsibility to you."

"..." The little sheep Jiang Lai blinked, nodded and smiled, "Okay - if I really need your care, I will tell you."

The hidden meaning is: no special attention is needed on weekdays.

Nanami Kento nodded in agreement and gathered the documents in his hand neatly.

Gojo Satoru did not stay any longer. As the strongest in the world of sorcery, he was indeed very busy. After making a few jokes, he waved his hand and left.

Afterwards, Jiang Lai smoothly moved into Nanami Jian's home.

Nana Ming is a reliable and mature adult. Although she always looks stern and plain on the outside, she is actually very meticulous on the inside.

Nanami Kento didn't care about anything in particular and gave him plenty of respect. But every morning before leaving, he would prepare milk and lunch for the boy at home, with a sticky note indicating the heating steps.

After adopting the brown-haired boy, in the first few days, he took the little sheep Jiang Lai out to buy several sets of clothes, as well as other personal belongings and books that he would read at his age, and brought them all home.

In addition, there are books related to programming and electronic technology that Xiao Mianyang Jiang Lai himself is interested in.

Jiang Lai took advantage of these few days of going out shopping and gradually got to know the specific terrain and buildings nearby.

——This is Kawasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo.

Kento Nanami originally had a house in downtown Tokyo, but because Yu Haibara's hometown was here, after graduation, he simply sold the house in Tokyo and moved to Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

This place has a name in the original work of Curse Return. The chapter "Young Fish and Reverse Punishment" took place here.

The Young Fish chapter is a relatively dark and sad chapter. The main characters are Yoshino Junpei, a high school sophomore who is bullied at school, and the newly born, bewitching special-grade cursed spirit.

The ones involved in resolving this incident were Yuji Itadori and Kento Nanami.

According to the original timeline, this chapter takes place around the middle of 2018. The current timeline is already at the end of 2018.

However, the new series did not develop completely according to the plot of the original work, and it is possible that the story of the young fish chapter did not happen.

Clarifying whether this incident occurred or not is of great significance for finding the whereabouts of the real person and clarifying the time of his birth.

As it happened, the following year, Nanami Kento put out some school brochures and asked the little sheep Jiang Lai to choose a school he wanted to go to.

One of these schools is the Tachisakura School in Kanagawa Prefecture from the [Young Fish and Reverse Punishment] chapter.

What is different from the original book is that this school is not just a high school, but a combination of junior high and high schools.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Lai planned to find out some information indirectly.

So, after briefly browsing the brochures of several schools, he asked curiously, "Nanami, are there any special stories about these schools?"

——After getting to know each other, the little sheep Jiang Lai changed his way of addressing Nanami Kento from "Mr. Nanami" to "Nanami Kai".

"Special?" Nanami Kento adjusted his special pincer-nose glasses. "What do you mean?"

"That's right, it is said that many schools have all kinds of strange stories," the brown-haired boy said with sparkling dark eyes, "It feels particularly interesting!"

"Generally speaking, these strange stories are all related to cursed spirits," Nanami Kento said calmly, "and they are not fun. If negative emotions continue to accumulate, in addition to strange stories, there may even be student casualties."

"The schools I picked out are currently safe and no accidents have occurred in them before."

[No incidents have ever occurred in these schools before] - In other words, the events of the [Young Fish and Reversal] arc have not happened yet?

Jiang Lai's thoughts were flowing.

Combined with what we know about the mark on Fushiguro Shinobu's soul, there should be a character in the Supervisory Commission who can touch souls. In the original work of Curse Resurrection, the only one who can do this is the Special Curse Spirit Master.

From this point of view, in the new series, the real person was born much earlier than in the original work. He had already left Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

In that case, Yoshino Junpei should still be alive?

After all, he is a child with some potential as a sorcerer. Will the regulatory authorities pay attention to him? And, will the real person come back in the future and meet Junpei as fate would have it?

The technique of the special cursed spirit master can see and touch the soul, but the identity switching of the mobile phone must be reliable, and it will not be discovered by the six eyes or the real person.

Jiang Lai thought about it in his mind, but his face did not reveal anything. He blinked his eyes, flipped through the brochure in his hand several times, and finally pointed to [Kanagawa Prefecture Tachisakura School] and said playfully:

"I want to go to school here. This school has a nice name!"

There is a certain risk in coming into contact with special cursed spirits, but opportunities usually come with dangers, and Jiang Lai didn't come here intending to hide.

Therefore, he chose this important location that occupies a large proportion of the original work.

If it really doesn't work, just switch identities before the encounter, change back to the original form and transform into the cursed spirit form before contacting - the special cursed spirit group is usually more friendly to their companions. He thought.

Nanami Kento nodded and picked up the school's brochure. "Okay, I'll process your application in a few days. Do you plan to join before spring break as a transfer student, or after spring break as a freshman?"

In order to obtain intelligence earlier, familiarize yourself with the environment and check out the location, it is better to go early, Jiang Lai thought.

So, he put on a bright smile and said, "I want to go to school earlier - before spring break, so I can catch up."

Jiang Lai, who is an adult inside: I don’t really want to go to school early QAQ… I don’t want to go to school no matter how old I am!!

——

After deciding to enroll in school as soon as possible, Jiang Lai started packing his belongings that night.

After organizing his pencil case and books, he turned on his phone to see if the comics had been updated to include the appearance of the little sheep and how it was presented.

When Jiang Lai turned on his phone, he first noticed a new message.

——Software from Cursed World. A game where you collect cute elves along the way and go on a level-breaking adventure, a bit like Pokemon.

Jiang Lai naturally still enjoys entertainment every day. Combining work and rest is a comfortable lifestyle.

Having a basic understanding of the cursed world, Jiang Lai is not as busy as he was at the beginning to get established. In addition, he has switched to a young boy form and is staying at Nanami's house. He has quite some free time now, so he downloaded this game as a way to relax in his daily life.

Because the message happened to pop up, Jiang Lai clicked on it.

This is a new team formation message. The system will automatically and randomly match you. You cannot split up. Two people form a team and start the next map adventure together.

[#The Next One is Me#: Huh? What does this match? What kind of a name is that? So childish.]

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly and typed a reply.

[#小羊不失眠#: Your name is weird, what kind of a name is that? What is “the next one is me”? Is the next one an idiot? ]

[#The Next One is Me#: Hey, can you not add "meh" to every sentence? ? You look like you are not yet an adult, are you still a stupid woman? You don't understand the meaning of my online name at all, this is an encouragement and a fact. ]

Oh? Jiang Lai frowned.

Because of his main contact with the world of sorcery, Jiang Lai's first reaction to the online name [Next] was to add that it actually means [Next head of the family] who is detached from ordinary people's society.

If this is the case, then this kind of obsession and confidence towards the master of the house, combined with this rude and sexist way of speaking -

It's you, Zenin Naoya!

Come to think of it, does the feudal and closed Zen temple have internet access? Jiang Lai originally thought that they didn't even have internet access.

I don’t know what the Zen temple is like now.

Subconsciously analyzing, Jiang Lai continued to type on the keyboard, aiming to annoy the person to death, and replied:

[#小羊不失眠#: You talk a lot of nonsense, asking questions right from the start. I just like adding, what do you care? But you can cancel the subscription within a limited time if you add money, and transfer 10 million in the game. ]

[#The next one is me#: Haha, I have money, but I can’t give it to you.]

[#Little Sheep Doesn’t Lose Sleep#: Meow.]

[#The next one is me#: Can you stop talking? If it weren't for the fact that this random team can't withdraw by itself - anyway, I won't take you with me, so don't hold me back, idiot.]

[#Little Sheep Doesn’t Lose Sleep#: Meow.]

[#The next one is me#:? What do you mean?]

[#Little Sheep Doesn’t Lose Sleep#: Meow.]

[#The next one is me#: ...Did you do this on purpose?]

[#Little Sheep Doesn’t Lose Sleep#: Meow.]

[#The next one is me#: You guys actually use automatic reply? ? ]

Jiang Lai had already received the game software to the backend, and he did set up an automatic reply.

No matter whether the opponent is Caiyun Pig or not, there is still a long time to form a team in the future, so let's talk about it after getting some information.

There is no point in the current dialogue between the two, so let's just leave each other alone.

Jiang Lai thought comfortably.

He was going to continue browsing comics on the official website to see what was going on.
