Chapter 64, Chapter 13: Remember to bring books next time you travel through time.
When the news reached the ears of the students at the high school that Gojo Satoru had been attacked by a talking, top-tier cursed spirit while waiting for the Shinkansen on the platform, everyone was stunned.
Attack on Gojo Satoru?
Are all cursed spirits these days so tired of living?
After hearing more details, the students at the vocational high school were all surprised by one thing—that a cursed spirit could actually escape from Gojo Satoru's grasp.
Xia Youjie had already mocked Wu Tiao Wu for this incident, saying that the strongest one had actually been let escape by a mere cursed spirit.
Gojo Satoru was very annoyed: "It's all because there are so many people on the platform, otherwise I could have packed both of them up for you as souvenirs."
Xia Youjie still smiled: "Is there no way to deal with a lot of people? The strongest one, huh? Well, never mind. There's nothing we can do anyway."
He said there was no other way, but his tone clearly implied it was a joke.
Gojo Satoru: = =#
"Enough of you! I was thinking of bringing you a souvenir! And you're making fun of me for that?! Look closely! I have six eyes! No limits! I only have two hands and two feet! Do you think everyone is like you, carrying an army around and relying on numbers to win?!"
Well, the phrase "winning by sheer numbers" struck a nerve with Xia Youjie again, and the result was quite obvious: the two of them got into another fight.
This time, Yuuta wasn't as alarmed as before; he had another worry in his heart—
"Um, Kuka Risa, my future self... I shouldn't be like this, right?"
Zhixue Yahuali:?
Before Oriyuki Karin could answer, he realized his words were a bit inappropriate and quickly explained, "No, I didn't mean that what Gojo-sensei and Natsuyu-sensei are doing is bad, no... I didn't mean that it's good... I, I meant..."
Seeing that he was so anxious that his tongue was almost tied in knots, Karin comforted him, "It's okay, Dad, I know. But don't worry, Dad isn't like that."
You only demolish the exterior buildings, not the homes.
Yi Gu You Tai was relieved to hear this.
That's good, he'll be more careful in the future.
If they demolish it like this... they'll have to pay a lot of money in compensation, right?
The person with the sacrum in their sacrum is worried about not having money.
Karin Okiyuki had no idea that Yuta Otsuko's focus was actually on money. When she heard the news of Satoru Gojo's attack, her reaction was different from everyone else's. She thought: The Shinkansen was bombed!?
Wait, I feel like this line should appear in a fanfiction of another anime, and now I'm trying to figure out who planted the bomb.
No, we've gone off-topic.
When Gojo Satoru was attacked, Karin Oriyuki naturally thought of Ryouko's volcanic head. However, she was a little unsure, since in the original story, Ryouko only attacked Gojo Satoru after Itadori Yuujin joined the high school and faked his death.
However, when Gojo Satoru showed the students the simple sketches he had drawn, Oriyuki Karin confirmed it—it was Louko and Hanami.
The students were still complaining that no one could recognize the drawing, when Ayaka Karin pointed with her little hand and said, "Louka and Hanami!"
Students: ?
Gojo Satoru, Natsuyuki Suke, and Ieiri Shoko all looked at Oriyuki Karin.
By the way, Xia Youjie is on duty in the infirmary today, so he's wearing the white coat.
Under everyone's gaze, Ayaka Shiki immediately displayed the composure befitting a shy child, quietly moving closer to her father and asking somewhat nervously, "W-what's wrong? Did I...I said something wrong?"
“No,” Gojo Satoru immediately shook his head, squatted down in front of Oriyuki Karin, pointed to his simple sketch, and asked, “Karin, what did you just say? Do you recognize these two cursed spirits?”
Origami Karin nodded slightly: "I recognize it. Dad brought back the college textbooks and showed them to Kuka Ri. It's written in there. Did Kuka Ri remember it wrong?"
As someone who audited two rounds of classes at the vocational high school, Ichiyuki Karin naturally knew the school's textbooks. In Volume 0, Brother Jie mentioned that there were 16 spirits designated as Special Grade Cursed Spirits. Subtracting Rika, who just appeared this year, I've seen all 15 of the previous Ichiyuki Karin spirits in the vocational high school textbooks.
It's likely that Louhu and the others will be added to the textbook later, so what she's saying now is definitely not wrong.
They could even take the opportunity to reveal the real person and Tuogen in advance.
Although they are most likely not born yet.
After hearing her words, the group exchanged glances, realizing they could glean some information about the cursed spirits from her. After all, even Gojo Satoru, who had personally fought those cursed spirits, only had a partial understanding of the two cursed spirits.
Gojo Satoru adopted a creepy, uncle-like tone and pulled out a lollipop from somewhere: "Hey, Hanari, how much do you remember about these two cursed spirits? Tell Grandpa Satoru, and Grandpa Satoru will give you this, okay?"
Everyone: "..."
Are you kidnapping children?
Karin Origami was also speechless, and whispered, "Grandpa Satoru, you... you look like a liar."
Gojo Satoru: "Hmm? What did Hanari say?"
The child quickly shook his head: "No, it's nothing."
Zenin Maki directly retorted, "You're like a fraudster, an unscrupulous teacher."
Gojo Satoru ignored her: "Kukana said she didn't say that~"
Zen Yuan Maki: "Yeah."
Even the panda couldn't help but mutter, "Is there any point in deceiving yourself? Wise."
Everyone present was a sorcerer; if anyone's hearing was so bad that they couldn't hear what the child had just said, then it was Gojo Satoru pretending to be deaf.
Meanwhile, Xia Youjie saw Jia Rujiang taking something out of his pocket.
"What are you looking for?" he asked.
Shoko Ieiri put her hand down: "No, I just felt that the candy this guy was holding looked familiar."
Gojo Satoru: "Let me borrow it for a bit, I'll buy you another box later."
Everyone: "..."
So it turns out even the candy was taken from someone else's pocket!
Ieiri Shoko was already used to this guy, so she simply ordered a more expensive candy brand, and Gojo Satoru said it was no problem at all.
But Xia Youjie, a master at taking care of kids, couldn't stand it anymore. He snatched the candy from Gojo Satoru's hand and put it back in Gojo Shoko's hand, while grabbing Gojo Satoru's collar with the other hand: "Hey Satoru, it's one thing for you to be shameless, but can you please not do this in front of children? Don't you know you're setting a bad example for them?"
Gojo Satoru defended himself: "Didn't Shoko already agree?"
"It's just a concept!"
Seeing the two classmates wrestling again, Ieiri Shoko ignored them and gave the candy to Oriyuki Karin: "Here, don't mind those two. Those two cursed spirits have never appeared before. If Kukari can tell us anything about them, it will be a great help. Do you remember anything else from the textbook?"
Karin Oriyuki has always been a fan of older women; the black stockings of the younger version of Ieiri Shoko already had her completely under her thumb, let alone the current adult plus version.
Her face flushed instantly, and her feigned shyness turned into genuine embarrassment: "Thank you. However, I don't remember much about Kuka Ri.
The manga didn't depict it in that much detail; I only remember that Rouroh's head was removed and flowers bloomed on Hanami's shoulder.
Shoko Ieiri smiled and patted her head: "It's okay, just tell me what you remember. We don't know much about anything yet."
"Hmm." Karin Oriyuki nodded, then began to recall the details of when several cursed spirits appeared in the story.
She pointed to the simple volcano head drawn by Gojo Satoru and said, "This is called Louhu. It is a cursed spirit born from humanity's fear of the earth. Its ability is... to control flames and magma. Its domain is... [Coffin-Covered Iron Mountain], which is like a magma cave."
He then pointed to Hanamichi: "This one is called Hanamichi. She was born out of humanity's fear of the forest. She is skilled at concealing her presence and can even fool the advanced barrier."
"They fooled the college's barrier?" Gojo Satoru, who had stopped tugging at Xia Youjie, peeked over. "What? Could it be that they actually infiltrated the college?"
Yes, that was back when you, Gojo Satoru, were still in high school.
While thinking to herself, Ayaka Shiki shook her head and said, "I don't know, that's what the book says."
Xia Youjie pulled Wujiao Wu back: "Don't interrupt. Kuka Risa, you continue."
Watching the interaction between the two, Karin felt that it was really... a straight man being more intimate than a couple.
No wonder so many people are against you, you deserve it.
She continued, "This cursed spirit speaks strange languages, not human languages, but strangely, they are understandable. It can control plants, conjuring up a field of flowers to relax people and lower their guard."
"There is also a kind of seed that feeds on magical power. Once it gets into the human body, the more you struggle with your magical power, the deeper the roots will grow."
"And... there's a flower wrapped in white cloth on my shoulder that can be used to absorb the life force of the surrounding plants. The domain is... the Sea of Radiant Bliss, but I've forgotten exactly what it's like."
Actually, it wasn't that he forgot; it's just that in the original story, Hanami was about to unleash his ultimate technique when Gojo Satoru arrived. Hanami immediately chose to run away, without even activating his domain.
Gojo Satoru rubbed his chin: "Earth and forest... why does that sound so much like Pokémon? Could there be an ocean too?"
Zhi Xueya Karin nodded decisively: "Yes, there are."
Furthermore, iivv itself stated in the official guidebook that it was based on Pokémon.
Everyone: "..."
Gojo Satoru paused for a moment, then said, "These days, do cursed spirits read comics too?"
Then, Yuki Ayaka revealed the identities of Tagore and Makoto as well. To prevent other cursed spirits from appearing if Gojo Satoru hadn't died, she added a safety net for herself: "I don't remember the others very well."
Gojo Satoru: "So remember to bring a book next time you time-travel."
Everyone: "..."
Do you think it's like taking a plane or a tram, where you can easily have another chance?
Karin was speechless. If she didn't know that this guy was a little mentally unstable, she would have thought that he recognized that she was alone in the previous few playthroughs and was calling her here.
It even came with a book, right? The book says the author is Oriyuki Karin?
"Ignore him," Xia Youjie said directly, then asked Zhi Xueya Karin, "Are these all spirits with their own consciousness?"
"Yes, the book says that it was because Grandpa Wu broke the balance that a more powerful cursed spirit was born."
As soon as Karin Origami said this, everyone looked at Satoru Gojo.
Gojo Satoru, of course, wore a confident smile: "As expected of me."
Everyone: "..."
Nobody is praising you.
I really don't want to admit that this seemingly special and powerful being is such a bastard.
