Chapter 94
While the girls were running to find the teacher and catching up with them, Sochingo cleverly carried Yoshino Junpei away.
Yoshino Junpei did not immediately agree, and Sochin Satoru carried him over the fence and jumped out, even making a "huh" gesture. When they left, they just happened to hear the voice of the girl around the corner.
“Here!”
Sochingo dragged his people all the way to the next two streets. Yoshino Junpei's legs became weak at the end and he could not run any further. He struggled with his hands spread out and gasped for breath on his knees.
In contrast, Sochin Satoru beside him had a steady breathing, looked clean and refreshed, and was looking around with one hand in his pocket.
The traces of the dense cursed power could be seen clearly even through the blindfold.
Of course take it off to see more details.
"Is it necessary... to run so far?" As he looked at her quietly, Yoshino Junpei wiped the sweat from his chin and asked while trying to calm his breathing.
Sochino looked at him. Yoshino Junpei also had traces of the same cursed energy as the surrounding area.
Well, of course you don't have to go that far to hide from the teacher.
He came over mainly because he was curious about the curse on Yoshino Junpei's body.
Judging from the traces around here, this area is probably where the cursed spirit has been most recently active.
From what Sochingo understood, in situations like this, besides the bases where the double special cursed spirits and curse masters breed cursed spirits, he would also be looking for prey.
The one seeking prey is still that very vicious double-special cursed spirit, whose main purpose is to seduce and play with people's hearts. It often hangs around nearby, creating encounters that only the other party can see, leaving such a strong trace.
Sochingo stood beside him and hummed.
He could easily tell the type of cursed power in Yoshino Junpei's body.
In addition to those who were contaminated by the aura of cursed energy from being around, there were also traces of cursed energy left by the real cursed spirits on his body.
Although I don't know why the cursed spirit stopped several times, it's a good thing anyway.
Sochino looked at the marks on Yoshino Junpei's body and his heart sank.
In any case, it is true that the gifted young man he saw was in danger of his life several times when he was away.
Fortunately, judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to have noticed those things.
There will be no psychological shadow left, and the other party will not know anything about the world of curses, spells and sorcery.
So I don't know whether the cursed spirit's seduction failed or they just became friends.
As an epoch-making idol (not really), Sochin Satoru is not particularly opposed to the bond and emotions between cursed spirits and humans.
In his world, there are many cursed spirits with intelligence and thinking, probably more than or twice as many as here combined, whether they are born naturally or created by human spirits.
And if the quantity is large, there is a high probability of qualitative change, whether good or bad.
Naturally, there will be a cursed spirit whose heart and eyes are filled with only one person.
There was once a special cursed spirit that liked the light and sad breath of humans. It would stay by people's side, like to make friends with humans and then say goodbye, and never hurt anyone.
But not opposing does not mean agreeing.
In fact, such cursed spirits, regardless of whether they will harm humans or not, will eventually be exorcised.
Either by self-destruction or being used by a curser with ulterior motives.
Of course, if a human binds a cursed spirit, they will eventually release it.
Cursed spirits are beings that evolved from people's negative emotions. As long as they exist, the magnetic fields they emit will have a very bad impact on humans.
Once the cursed spirits have been with humans for a long time.
It is one thing for humans to be emotionally sensitive, fragile and suspicious, but the body will also be affected by negative emotions, causing hormone disorder, decreased immunity, and extremely easy to get sick and difficult to treat.
Curse, curse.
That's actually the case.
Cursed spirits are evolved creatures that are cursed. After all, low-level cursed spirits can only attack humans directly, while special-level and above cursed spirits have the ability to kill humans in an instant.
Although Sochingo is not a bigot, he does not want anyone around him to have anything to do with cursed spirits.
Especially now that I know that most of the people here are ordinary people who can't see curses and don't have the ability to protect themselves, I feel that the other party shouldn't come into contact with special-grade curse spirits without knowing the world of curses.
Regardless of whether Yoshino Junpei is friends with the other party.
So Zongjinwu tilted his head and answered a question that was not asked.
"Are there any weirdos bothering you lately?"
"ah?"
Yoshino Junpei raised his head, panting so hard that he almost straightened up, and responded subconsciously, then he realized what Sochingo was asking.
Good fellow.
Without even thinking about this question, the image of a handsome blue-haired man with seams all over his body immediately appeared in his mind.
There is no possibility of pestering him.
But there is indeed one weirdo who always comes to meet him and says something unpleasant.
Sometimes...
Although it was very rude, he really felt that the man was sometimes not only too bigoted, but also showed some neurotic behavior when he was rejected by him.
But Yoshino Junpei didn't want Sochin Satoru to know these things.
The existence of schools is enough.
When you make friends who you like more than they are compatible with, I think everyone would want to give their best to their friends, whether it is their image, personality, hobbies, character or popularity.
Maybe we don’t care so much about these issues when we are in love.
People have different definitions of friends.
For example, some people think that friends are people who stick by each other’s side, help each other in times of trouble, and can be confided in at any time. Others think that friends are people who are spiritually compatible and do not want to bring any unhappiness to each other, especially some things that are difficult to solve.
In fact, even if Sochingo was replaced by Itadori Yuji, he would not tell the truth about the monster and seek help.
But he wanted to hide it.
Little did he know that his expression when he reacted had already given him away.
“Not really.”
The boy, who was not very good at lying, seemed to realize something, then he blinked and looked away.
Half of his cheek was still covered with sweat from the exercise. He stretched out one hand to his neck, not knowing whether to touch his neck or pinch the back of his head. Finally, he changed positions and lightly pinched his cheek.
In fact, even without these preceding actions, it is easy to see what he is hiding.
After saying this, Yoshino Junpei seemed to notice something wrong. After all, when asked about this, he should have been more confused instead of giving a very ambiguous "not really".
So he quickly cleared his throat and added, "What weirdo are you talking about? Is it the recent news in Kanagawa or something like that?"
Sochino smiled.
He did not expose the person in front of him, but felt that except for his introverted personality, Junpei Yoshino was very similar to Yuji Itadori in other aspects.
Well, he means in terms of not lying and the reaction to lying.
"That's probably because I remembered it wrongly. There have been a lot of incidents in Kanagawa recently." Sochin Satoru is an old hand at changing the subject. "Anyway, I'm glad you're alright."
Don't worry about the actual situation, just focus on the amount of cursed energy and the number of cursed spirits.
It's really strange that there aren't many events here.
Speaking of this, Yoshino Junpei no longer felt guilty, but instead became worried. He said to Sochin Satoru, "It seems like things are really chaotic lately. It's best not to go out in the middle of the night. If you have nothing to do, it's best not to come around here..."
He didn't finish his words.
He himself still welcomed Sochingo and the others to come, so it was not a good idea to cut off the possibility of them meeting each other in person.
Yoshino Junpei finally realized that today was a school day.
Although the first time we met was also a truant encounter...
So are you playing hooky again today?
"By the way, how did you get here? Are you alone?" Yoshino Junpei asked, looking up.
As he spoke, Sochingo casually snapped his fingers silently behind him to clear out all the cursed energy nearby.
Then remove the cursed energy that has stained Junpei Yoshino in the same way.
Sochino calculated the conditions and planted a trigger-type barrier on Yoshino Junpei.
In addition to the protective function that protected and informed him, he thought about it and added an element of unlimited rebound.
Of course, in order to enhance these two conditions, the technique naturally made certain sacrifices. For example, except for the contact of a certain concentration of cursed energy and the attack that can harm Yoshino Junpei, this barrier technique cannot be triggered.
He finished just as Yoshino Junpei finished speaking.
"Huh?" Yoshino Junpei moved his body with a strange expression as if he had noticed something.
Sochingo noticed: "What's wrong?"
"…I feel like I'm suddenly…relaxed?" Yoshino Junpei felt that it was strange, so he smiled and tried to ignore it, "Sorry, it must be an illusion."
Sochino looked at him.
It seems that long-term contact with cursed spirits has slightly awakened the magic in the body.
I think everyone will be more sensitive to curses in the future...
Following Yoshino Junpei's words, he dropped the topic and continued with what he had just said.
"Yuujin is still in class, do you know of any fun places around here?"
Sochingo first took out his cell phone and sent a message to Itadori Yuji with his location attached. Then he pulled out the video and photos he had just recorded, held the corner of his cell phone, raised his hand towards Yoshino Junpei, and said in a teasing and coaxing tone, "Cell phone, take it out~"
"Huh, ah..." Yoshino Junpei didn't even ask what he was going to do, but frantically took out his cell phone from his pocket.
I'm afraid that after being sold, I will still have to pay for it.
Sochingo naturally unlocked Yoshino Junpei's phone and took it away from the boy's hand. He fumbled around with it for a few times, transferred the video and photos to Yoshino Junpei's phone, and then put it back into the boy's hand.
"Those guys probably won't tell anyone your name."
Sochingo put his phone back into his pocket and said.
Seeing Yoshino Junpei's confused expression, he added: "I'm talking about what just happened."
"I'm afraid they won't bother you anymore. If they still bother you, just take the video and photos to the teacher. The leader is quite concerned about this."
Perhaps other minor characters will find opportunities to create resentment against Yoshino Junpei, but not in the next week.
Of course, the earliest you can start looking for opportunities is next week.
They would feel lucky, for example, if Sochin Satoru was not around, and they could just threaten Yoshino Junpei and prevent him from complaining, then who would know that they were still bullying Yoshino Junpei?
However, this week was enough time for him to find Gojo Satoru and ask Yoshinoya if he had any plans to transfer schools, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Sochingo's grasp of human nature in this matter can be said to be very accurate.
He has met many people in his missions and work, perhaps because of the shackles he set for himself. When fighting, he has to keep an eye on people's reactions and safety. When working, whether it is a theater or various stages, he has to meet many people.
So he's really seen an incredible number of people.
He also keeps an eye on all directions while working, as part of his training for when this skill might come in handy in combat.
Even if you don't pay careful attention to some things, you will understand a lot as long as you keep watching.
The thoughts, connotations, and purposes behind the actions.
This is how smart people are.
And a natural genius like Sochin Satoru is even more so.
He started to be able to tell what people were thinking from their micro-expressions and actions at some point.
It's just that he never pays attention to certain people.
When he was in contact with other people outside, Sochingo always understood everything but did nothing. As long as it did not involve personal safety, he did not care about other people's personalities and behaviors, as long as it did not touch the bottom line, those little tricks, he did not care at all.
"Well..." Yoshino Junpei became shy again when talking about this matter. He smiled a little embarrassedly, with a little blush on his cheeks. "Thank you."
In fact, even what Sochingo said would not happen.
Or maybe he didn't really believe that those guys would let him go.
Today, I am really grateful to Sochingo.
He felt very happy just to see that group of people in such a miserable state.
Yoshino Junpei carefully put away his phone and raised his head.
"Fun places... I know there's a shopping street nearby, a sports city, and an amusement park in the distance. They're not too far away and you can walk there. Is there any place in particular you want to go?"
Junpei Yoshino thought carefully about the places he knew, hoping that he could be of some help.
"Is that so?"
Sochingo stroked his chin and thought, then quickly sat down and made a decision.
"Let's go to the playground!"
Yoshino Junpei didn't think about whether it was a bit strange for two grown men to go to an amusement park, and agreed readily.
"OK!"
When they arrived near the amusement park, Sochingo sent another location message to Yuji Itadori.
Combined with the above message, it roughly means: I am playing with Shunping, do you want to come over after school? Your friends are asking you when they see me.
There aren't many visitors to the amusement park on weekdays, but there are some.
Sochingo took Junpei Yoshino to the theme square outside for an hour to take photos, of course, mainly taking photos of Junpei Yoshino.
"Um...are you going to continue?"
Yoshino Junpei, who had been very cooperative, was now lying on the doll in the park, completely ignoring the sight of passers-by.
His face was livid, his breath was weak, and he looked like he could die at any moment. After letting out a long breath, he looked at Sochin Satoru, who was looking very interested and estimated that he could shoot for another three hours.
"That's all right~"
Sokongo did not intend to embarrass Yoshino Junpei.
After flipping through the photos, he deleted all the ones he was not satisfied with, keeping the ones he thought were great, and then turned off his overheated phone.
Leaving beautiful photos symbolizes good times.
Although he was very tired and a little speechless, Yoshino Junpei's smile when taking the photo was not forced, and what Sochin Satoru took a photo of was not just a smile.
Such as a natural expression, a quiet expression, a reluctant expression, a frightened expression, an angry expression, a shy expression, and a complaining expression.
Sochin Satoru can easily make people show these expressions.
He didn't want Yoshino Junpei's high school years to be filled with those dark memories.
Of course, this kind of thinking is a bit self-conceited and self-righteous, but happiness is never too much.
I just hope this person can be a little warmer.
His fingertips were suspended loosely over the old wound through the hair on Yoshino Junpei's forehead. He spoke in a low voice, which sounded indescribably gentle.
"Go check it out sometime."
Even without being told, it was clear that he was to tend to the wound.
Yoshino Junpei was in a daze when the cell phone that Sochino had just put in his pocket rang.
Before Sochino could take it out, the call was hung up in less than a second.
“Understanding——”
The distant sound came closer and closer, and the sound of running footsteps rushed towards them at an unimaginable speed, almost as fast as a car.
"Bang."
With a slight sound, Yuji Itadori put his arms around Sochingo's neck.
The two of them turned slightly.
In fact, Sochingo was using Infinite Limits, and the impact of Itadori Yuji's collision was mitigated by Infinite Limits. However, this guy only had his arm hooked on him when he rushed over, and the direction he ran was not straight, and he had other inertias on his body.
Although it is known that with Yuji Itadori's physique, his arm will not be injured by pulling.
But Sochingo still subconsciously reached out and grabbed the boy's waist to relieve the impact, and slightly changed direction according to his force.
Polygonum cuspidatum Hisuhito:o(*≧▽≦)ツ
"Yoshino! Good afternoon!" Yuji Itadori jumped off Sochino's body and greeted Yoshino Junpei who was lying on the doll with a sunny look.
Yoshino Junpei suddenly became energetic.
Let’s not talk about how these two little cuties communicate and greet each other.
When Sochingo bumped into Yuji Itadori, he noticed that two people were walking towards him at a normal pace from the direction he came from.
It's Megumi Fushiguro and No Rose Kugizaki.
This surprised Sochino.
It's not even three o'clock yet, how come there are so many of them? Normally, school isn't over yet.
"you……"
"Outside practice."
Noticing the confusion on Sochino's face that most people couldn't see, Fushiguro Megumi walked closer and said lightly.
Kugizaki Norose pouted, stretched out her hand and ran her fingertips through her short hair, looking at Sochin Satoru with some resentment in her eyes.
"Thanks to some people, Senior Maki said I need to go out and gain some experience."
Sochino tilted his head.
You will also be given a task list for training.
Seeing that they have nothing in their hands, wouldn't they be like him and just go wherever there is a cursed spirit and intervene?
Will I really not be reprimanded for doing this?
It seemed that he and Gojo Satoru had almost finished clearing the task list in the school, and Sochin Satoru suddenly had an idea.
"You weren't... kicked out to find your own work?"
They were really two people who were thrown out of school: = =.
"Satoru, long time no see!" Yuji Itadori had just called, but because of the next topic he found the joy of reunion again. He looked up from the conversation with Yoshino Junpei and said, "You were outside for a purification ceremony before--uuu!"
Do you have any experience to share on exorcising cursed spirits?
How can I exorcise so many cursed spirits in one day?
Before he could ask many questions, and seeing that he was about to blurt out something related to the curse, Fushiguro Megumi quickly covered his mouth.
"He wants to ask you about your previous extracurricular practice, which was done very well, and he wants to ask you about your experience." Nagizaki Norose translated with dead fish eyes.
It's not that they have a special understanding of each other, but it was Yuji Itadori who said he wanted to come here, and they agreed to come here together for the original purpose.
That's right.
This guy Yuji Itadori.
He didn't tell me there was an ordinary person here before he came!
Yuji Itadori also let out an exclamation, reacted, and reached out to pat Fushiguro Megumi's hand that was covering his hand. The eel-headed boy glanced at him and tentatively let go of his hand.
As expected, after being released, Yuji Itadori did not bring up the topic. Instead, he asked Sochingo and Yoshino Junpei, "What are you doing?"
Sochingo pointed to the playground as a matter of course and asked in confusion, "Can't you see it?"
Facing the confused expression of Yuji Itadori in front of him.
"Of course we just play in the amusement park!"
The air suddenly became quiet.
Except for Yoshino Junpei, who had known for a long time that they were here to play, Fushiguro Megumi glanced away, with only one sentence in his mind.
He just knew it.
Yuji Itadori with Big Eyes: It seems to make sense.
Kugizaki No Rose pressed her hand to her forehead and could hardly look straight.
How can someone skip school to play so confidently? This guy has no mission and is not at the training ground, so he must be skipping school!
←Since the two wtws received so much attention, all the experts in sorcery understood the logic of their actions.
As soon as the three of them got here, the two more careful ones, Megumi Fushiguro and Rose Kugizaki, noticed the marks on Junpei Yoshino's body.
Of course, the mud on his face had been wiped off when Sochingo was about to take the photo.
Most of the dust on his body was shaken off.
But there are still traces of stains on the corners of the clothes, and some wrinkles on the clothes. Even after an hour, it still doesn't look natural.
When Sochingo takes photos, he doesn't take still photos. He teases people to get some reactions and then takes snapshots. Therefore, these marks are not visible or obvious in the photos.
But in reality, people who are sensitive to this can detect what is happening.
Even if Fushiguro Megumi saw it, she would not speak easily, but Kugizaki No Rose was different.
"Are you also skipping school like him? Or did you meet him on your way to skip school?"
She folded her arms in an unkind way.
"We are busy now..."
Either take Sochin Satoru away, or let Yoshino Junpei avoid it.
In short, ordinary people cannot come into contact with cursed things, and she is too lazy to find out why Yuji Itadori and Junpei Yoshino know each other.
She knew that Kanagawa was the place where Sochin Satoru took Yuji Itadori to skip school last time.
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by what Sochingo said to Yuji Itadori.
"Yujin, do you want to ride the roller coaster?"
Yuji Itadori's attention was immediately diverted. Things like the consultation on the mission were long forgotten about because of the friends he had just met, Sochin Satoru, and the amusement park.
He struggled for only half a second.
"think!"
"It's decided then. After we're done playing, I'll write an attendance report for you to refer to!" Sochin Satoru and Itadori Yuji high-fived.
These words stopped Kugizaki No Rose who was about to refuse.
Megumi Fushiguro was not prepared to fight at the beginning.
You can't tell from his paralyzed face that, in fact, when he came to this amusement park, he had already started to think about whether there were any activities he could not attend.
If you want to interview him about his specific feelings.
Fushiguro Megumi: Thank you for the invitation. I'm honored.
Talk:?
TalkMic: Why?
Megumi Fushiguro: Today there is only Sochin Satoru.
Buy tickets to enter the park.
Yuji Itadori basically talks to Junpei Yoshino together. After they get to know each other a little after working on one or two projects, No Rose Kugizaki will also say a few words to them.
However, he would still clearly show his disdain in a way that was not too rude, just by pouting.
Yoshino Junpei looks introverted, and if you add a filter, he becomes cowardly. It just so happens that Kushizaki No Rose has complicated feelings towards cowardly people, regardless of whether they are men or women.
However, when I bought water at Yoshino Junpei, I bought some for everyone as well. It was normal and I didn't mind what Kugizaki No Rose said or what she said.
In addition, when he is with Yuji Itadori, he can always show his cheerful side naturally and take care of girls. In the end, the atmosphere when these three are together gradually becomes good.
When talking about fashion and shopping, they can chat with each other in a lively atmosphere.
Megumi Fushiguro basically follows Sochin Satoru.
As they were on their way to the whitewater rafting trail, Sochingo suddenly paused.
"What's wrong?" Fushiguro Megumi noticed and stopped.
Sojinwu smiled at him: "It's okay, let's go."
Megumi Fushiguro saw his reaction, stared at his back for half a second, and then looked in the direction where Sochingo had just looked.
There were only a few tourists there, and it didn't seem like anything special.
Then he quickly caught up with Sochino Satoru and returned to his side.
...If there was really nothing wrong, this guy would have acted funny or said it out loud.
Fushiguro Megumi respects the other party's wishes.
They were so busy strolling and playing that they basically forgot about their work duties for most of the time.
"Come on, the last stop!" Sojinwu pointed his index finger at the haunted house in the amusement park that was filled with a gloomy and spooky atmosphere, "——The signature haunted house in the amusement park!"
He showed his white teeth and pulled his hand back to give a thumbs-up.
The three first-year sorcerers who could see the curse wrapped around the edge of the house could only type a string of ellipsis.
Fushiguro Megumi quietly weighs the strength of the enemy and our own.
There should be two levels inside.
Although it may be a little bit difficult, the three of them can be exorcised.
"Junpei, come with us, no one can run away!" Sochin Satoru said, "Men can't be afraid of this. We need to set a good example for women."
Kugizaki No Rose: ...
Thank you so much. Does the lady you mentioned have to go in as well?
Yuji Itadori looked out and let out an "Oooooh", the haunted house curse was doubly stimulating.
Fushiguro Megumi: ...
There are ordinary people who are exorcising cursed spirits.
Did Sochino want them to exorcise the second-level cursed spirit in front of ordinary people without being discovered?
At least don't let the teenager who's been traveling with you for the whole afternoon treat you as a psycho... or something like that.
He took a deep breath and prepared himself.
After all, there was a battle coming up, and the three of them were ready for it, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious and tense.
Yoshino Junpei, who could vaguely see a hint of curse in his face, was blocked by Sochin Satoru before he could say any words of refusal, so he was also very nervous... and planned to pretend not to see it for a while.
I heard that as long as ghosts are not discovered and you can see them, they will not pester you and you will not be hurt!
Sochingo watched them enter the haunted house with a smile on his face from outside.
After the four young men entered, someone asked quietly.
"Why doesn't he come in?"
After happily letting the four people go, Sochingo directly hooked off all the blindfolds with his index finger. His blue eyes scanned the surroundings and captured the cursed power of a figure that had passed by in the crowd earlier.
Sojingo grinned and sneered.
Fortunately, that person kept the cursed spirit entangled with himself as usual.
He just happened to be able to distinguish what kind of cursed spirits and cursed power were left, mixed with the inconspicuous aura of the sorcerer like a silk thread. Ah, the guy here should be called a sorcerer.
When I first caught coral.
Sochingo paid attention to that person.
If Sochin Satoru had not realized that the world was different and that the dual special cursed spirits in his hands were showing a tendency to grow larger, he would not have teleported away like that.
To put it bluntly.
Tracking the double special cursed spirits was not only his ingrained duty and a way to find training opportunities, but he also wanted to use this opportunity to lure that guy out.
Or you can catch someone based on clues.
And now it is.
Sochingo walked forward along the hidden trail. He walked very quickly and silently. None of the passers-by around him could see him before he gradually disappeared from the distance.
Those beautiful blue eyes looked a little cloudy after darkening.
Just like when he was angered by the newly born double cursed spirit before, the expression behind him, which Fushiguro Megumi did not see, was enough to terrify everyone who saw it.
——Found you.
You’re really good at hiding.
