Chapter 5: Fifth Day of Training
Chapter 5
Since traveling to this world, Kanako has never wanted to express her admiration for the advanced technology of the 2010s.
Here you don't need to wait for the TV to start playing at the exact time to watch TV series and cartoons, and you don't need to put the videotapes in advance if you can't wait at the right time.
A mobile phone that you carry with you can solve everything, just like now...
Gojo Satoru opened the search software and entered keywords such as "Gon, the protagonist of a young manga", and soon found the "Zen○Hunter" which was currently being serialized (on hiatus) based on the related words.
"Really, Jie, look, when did you secretly change your surname and take the Hunter Exam without telling us?" Gojo Satoru said.
Xia Yujie smiled and counterattacked in the same way: "Satoru, you are the one with the most serious problem, white hair and blue eyes... and you are also the designated head of the family. Everything is right."
They teased each other, giving a sense of immersive experience.
Geto: "Look at this. The first goal after becoming a hunter is to 'capture all the family members and exchange them for bounties.'"
Gojo Satoru pinched his chin. "Good suggestion? Well, it's worth considering."
"The combat power system in this comic is very... unique." Geto Suguru discovered a bright spot. "If we replace it with 'cursed power', the concept of 'oath and restriction' proposed in it is somewhat similar to the concept of cursed power binding."
Gojo Satoru made a reasonable guess: "Isn't it really some sorcerer who quit and is adding to the manga? The old oranges don't even care."
It's easy to search for anime information about the Hunter world, so this isn't the world of "Zero Hunter" at all...
Having guessed incorrectly about the world after traveling to, Kanako was a little embarrassed, her face flushed red, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole on the ground and bury herself in it.
She was silent for a long time, and after she recovered, she interrupted loudly: "Enough!"
These two unreliable minors!
Kanako opened her arms and said, unable to bear it any longer, "You two guys, don't confuse the two-dimensional world with the three-dimensional world so easily!"
*
"Well, let's stop fooling around for now," said Geto Suguru. "My name is Geto Suguru, and he's Gojo Satoru. We're both sorcerers."
"Uh...hello."
The moment they both entered their work-ready state, their auras changed. Their attitude shifted from playful banter to seriousness, leaving Kanako's mind unable to shift back to serious mode.
"My name is Kanako. I don't have a surname, so just call me by my full name." She imitated Geto Suguru's self-introduction template, but hesitated slightly at the last sentence. "Y-A vagrant? The future queen, oh yes, a night rabbit!"
Kanako hesitated slightly but held her chest high with determination.
Xia Yujie noticed her discomfort and chuckled, "It's a very impressive name... If you like, you can continue to call me by your usual name."
Kanako jumped up happily: "Xiaojie!"
Gojo Satoru looked at his best friend: "You were the one who said you wanted to cut ties with her, but your attitude now is clearly—"
"I plan to use her to find out the true identity of the cursed spirit and resolve this incident." Gojo Satoru pointed his finger at Kanako.
Geto Suguru acquiesced to this idea and continued, "The first-level cursed spirit we've been tracking has dispersed its aura to many ordinary people like her. If I'm not mistaken, the essence of its aura dispersion is that it actively disperses the cursed energy."
Geto Suguru: "But the cursed energy can only attach to ordinary people who are not curse casters. It perfectly avoids curse casters. This means that it has used 'binding' to establish rules and is preparing some kind of plan."
Gojo Satoru: "A rule that excludes all sorcerers..."
As the two brainstormed, Kanako, still unfamiliar with the job, caught a few snippets of what was said. Then, suddenly raising her arm like a good student actively speaking in class, she declared, "Rules are made to be broken!"
System: [??? Do you really understand what they are saying?]
Kanako: I don’t care, but first of all, the morale and slogans must be accurate!
Gojo Satoru was unexpectedly ecstatic. He knocked his left hand against his right and immediately decided, "Take her with you, Jie. You must take her with you!"
Knowing Gojo Satoru's true nature, Geto Xia Yu couldn't help but hold his forehead: "I understand."
What is this? A reunion of friends of different ages, a meeting that I regretted not meeting earlier.
"Xiaojie." Kanako called out affectionately, her name coming out very smoothly. "Your...are you going to investigate the truth now? If you must look for clues among ordinary people, I do remember someone."
Geto Summer Oil was delighted: "Who?"
Kanako touched her hat and said, "It seems to be a bad man named Nakamura. He broke my rice cooker No. 1 and my cardboard box, and he wanted to bully me. Gojo Satoru didn't help me, and the police suddenly showed up and arrested him."
Gojo Satoru tried to defend himself: "Hey, hey, hey, kids, don't use idioms carelessly."
Kanako stared, trying to squeeze out two tears: "He just wants to bully me anyway!"
"That's something Satoru would do." Ignoring Gojo Satoru's questioning, Geto Suguru said principledly, "But Kanako's words are indeed a bit inappropriate. Satoru may seem unreliable at times, but in a critical moment, he would definitely not leave anyone to die."
Gojo Satoru curled his lips and said nothing.
"Okay, then I'll reorganize my words." Kanako thought seriously.
After careful consideration, Kanako came to a pointed conclusion: "Gojo Satoru let the clue he had get slip away!"
Gojo Satoru:? ? ?
Geto Xiayou clapped his hands and smiled warmly: "Satoru, can you explain?"
An hour later, the three arrived at the place where Nakamura was temporarily detained.
Most of the time was spent by Gojo Satoru contacting the auxiliary supervisor in charge of the incident, asking them to negotiate directly with the police and provide them with the opportunity to talk to Nakamura face to face.
It would take some time to go through the formalities. While waiting, Gojo Satoru yawned and looked at the lively Kanako, who was holding the new Shonen Jump in her left hand and the oden given to her by Geto Suguru in her right hand. When she was in a good mood, she always liked to express her emotions with small jumps.
She's so full of energy, she looks like she could leap through the ceiling at any moment... Oh, what did she call herself before? Rabbit, right?
This is quite like a rabbit.
Gojo Satoru reached out to take off her tacky hat, but Kanako startled and dodged it.
"Don't touch my hat, number two!" Kanako warned.
"Hat number two? Where's hat number one? It's scrapped." Gojo Satoru asked out of boredom.
"Hat Number One sacrificed himself for me and has returned to Hat Star." Kanako sighed dejectedly.
"Number one was blown into the river by the wind, and I found number two on the lid of a trash can... What's with that disgusted look on your face? I washed it carefully before putting it on, okay? Apologize to hat number two!"
Kanako said calmly, "For me, something that can block the sun and wind is very important, so Hat No. 2 has been with me for so many days and saved my life..."
Gojo Satoru: "As expected, it's the kind of exaggerated language that only children use."
[That's not an exaggeration at all.] The system thought to itself.
Kanako is wearing, her race is infinitely close to the Yato. To humans living on Earth, they can be said to be alien creatures, but their appearance is very similar to that of humans.
The Night Rabbit race has a characteristic, which is fear of sunlight. If Kanako's skin is exposed to the scorching sun, it will begin to crack and break within a few seconds... In serious cases, it may even threaten her life.
In order to prevent Kanako from accidentally dying after traveling through time, in addition to the rice cooker she carried with her, the system clearly remembered that it had defaulted to allowing Kanako to carry sunshade tools. What went wrong?
"By the way, Kanako."
This was the first time Gojo Satoru called her full name correctly, and Kanako decided to respond to him properly, waiting attentively for Gojo Satoru to say the second half of his sentence.
"Actually, I noticed it a long time ago." Gojo Satoru couldn't help laughing, "Hat number two is fading."
Eh?
Kanako was silent.
Kanako was shocked.
Kanako threw Hat No. 2 out of the window in three seconds.
Gojo Satoru: "Didn't you say you'd cherish it? Hat No. 2—"
Kanako found a piece of reflective glass and carefully observed the top of her hair. She almost cried, "Why is my hair turning gray?"
Gojo Satoru: "Ah, that's easy to understand. After all, it's the gray hat that's fading."
Geto: "...You'd better stop talking."
Kanako rushed to the bathroom and wet her hair with the faucet. She rubbed it back and forth several times before raising her head and squeezing out her short white hair with her fingers in front of the mirror.
Fortunately, she had short hair, and she was born in good physical condition (system supplement: very good), so she was not afraid of getting sick even if she was in the cool breeze. She breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the waiting room.
White hair, red eyes, it feels more like a rabbit. Gojo Satoru thought aimlessly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we already know the cause of the incident. You have ten minutes." After the staff member said this to the three people in the waiting room, he left the room without saying a word and withdrew all the supervisors.
"Only ten seconds will be enough..." Gojo Satoru muttered.
Kanako pulled Geto Suguru's sleeve and followed Gojo Satoru into the meeting room.
The man surnamed Nakamura looked at the ceiling with a confused look in his eyes, and after the door opened, he stared closely at the three people who entered the room.
"It's you!" He recognized Gojo Satoru at a glance and glanced around suspiciously, "Where's the gray-haired kid you were with?"
Kanako: ...shift!!!
Xia Yujie stopped him in time: "Children, don't say weird things."
So Kanako took a step back for Xiaojie's sake, quietly raised her third finger and stuck out her tongue.
Geto Suguru: "...Strange movements are not allowed either."
He asked Gojo Satoru, "Did you see anything from him?"
Speaking of "seeing", Kanako suddenly remembered that she seemed to have this ability as well.
To be precise, it was a benefit temporarily given to her after the system left for two days and returned from the headquarters.
The full name of this benefit is "Eye of Insight into Identity". The specific operation is that Kanako can see the background identity of humans within her field of vision, but it cannot be too detailed, otherwise the balance will be disrupted.
This benefit needs to be manually activated, and then the system will notify Kanako.
This is how the true identities of Officer Sato and Officer Takagi were discovered.
System: [The benefit is valid for less than three minutes... The original purpose of issuing it was to help you find the first suitable binding partner as quickly as possible to complete the task! No nurturing value, no new benefits!]
Kanako: I've already said that I want to find the richest or strongest person in the world to meet my standards.
The system muttered: [Where can I find the richest and most powerful person who dropped from the sky for you...]
[With billions of people on Earth, it would take ages to find the "last"...]
Holding the thought that it was about to expire and it would be a waste not to use it, Kanako muttered to herself, staring at Nakamura.
The system sounded a notification: [Name: Nakamura Gaiichiro, Gender: Male, Age: 31, Note: One of the main culprits in many missing children cases. He abducted and trafficked 16 children and killed 3. He has been arrested.]
You can pull someone's underwear out with just one glance... Kanako secretly thought of a less elegant analogy and gradually shifted her gaze to the side -
System: [Name: Geto Suguru, Gender: Male, Age: 16, Note: "Spirit Manipulation Technique", Special Grade Strength, Strongest Reserve in the Curse World.]
Kanako exclaimed: What the hell!
The system suppressed its surprise for the moment: […Good boy, don't swear!]
"Kanako?" Gojo Satoru keenly noticed her abnormality.
Kanako, who couldn't believe her eyes and luck, heard someone calling her and subconsciously turned her head, and saw——
System: [Name: Gojo Satoru, Gender: Male, Age: 16, Notes: "Six Eyes," "Unlimited," Special Grade Strength, Strongest Reserve in the Curse World.]
Kanako was so shocked that her pupils trembled: What the hell!!!
The system also broke down: Damn it!
Oh my god! These are the two strongest (reserve forces) sent from heaven!!!
【Author’s words】
Good kid, don't swear at such a young age! But you can raise your third finger... (Auditor's kind look) Raising a finger isn't recommended either! (Serious face)
