Airport chaos and Hakone trip
Because of the bounty on the dark web, today's plans were disrupted. Fortunately, she went to school this morning to withdraw from school. Riko also said goodbye to her classmates, but she couldn't personally hand over the contact list she had written for them.
Gojo Satoru, the assistant director, booked the plane tickets online. Without even packing their things, the group took a taxi directly from their apartment to Tokyo International Airport.
"Satoru, is that person a curse master?" Looking at the tall man who had been staring at them from not far away, Tsurumi Kawaru hesitated for a moment before turning to call Gojo Satoru.
He turned around and saw a man in a suit approaching Kuroi Misato. The man seemed not to have expected to be noticed. The moment he made eye contact with Tsurumi Kawa, he suddenly jumped up and reached out to grab Kuroi Misato, who was on the outside.
The moment the man in the suit made his move, Xia Youjie, who was walking next to Tian Tian Lizi, reacted in time, grabbed Tian Tian Lizi's arm and pushed her to the side, and then attacked the man in the suit.
"Hmph, brat, your opponent is me." Tsurumi Kawaru opened his eyes wide and was about to run to Natsuyuu's side to help when he and Gojo Satoru were stopped by a tall man walking from a distance.
The tall man with a scar on his lip looked down at her with a disdainful expression. His tight black T-shirt revealed his perfect physique, with smooth lines of bulging muscles. The hormones of a mature man and the oppressive feeling of a strong man were overwhelming.
As soon as the man finished speaking, seven or eight more curse masters suddenly appeared in the airport hall. Instantly, the noisy hall became extremely chaotic, with screams and people running in all directions scattering Tsurumi Kawakami and his group.
Gojo Satoru tried to take to the air but was stopped by the tall man. Tsurumi Kawaru was unexpectedly ignored by the other party. He and Gojo Satoru exchanged a glance, and he resolutely turned around and ran towards Natsumi Yujie, who was surrounded and unable to move freely.
Few people know about the existence of the world of sorcery; at least most ordinary people are unaware of its existence, though political officials might be aware of it.
The airport siege caught them off guard, and because of the explicit law in the world of sorcery that it is forbidden to harm ordinary people, Xia Youjie and Wutiao Wu were somewhat unable to use their skills.
But the curse masters didn't care about these things. Some of them directly targeted Tian Lizi, who was being protected by Xia Youjie, while a small number of them, like the man in the suit, targeted Kuroi Misato, who was dressed as a maid.
Tsurumi Kawaru and Natsuyuki exchanged a glance, then rushed towards Kuroi Misato, leading her out of the encirclement. They then escorted the two to a corner together. The curse masters were numerous and their spells varied, but Natsuyuki, as a spirit manipulator, was no less formidable.
Tsurumi Kawakami protected the two, dodging the incoming spells. Some spells that couldn't be dodged were deflected by his own abilities, creating chaos in the scene. Airport security personnel rushed over, with others approaching from behind holding shields.
"Tsk, Liu, call the assistant supervisor and Moth Teacher separately, tell them the situation here, and have someone come and coordinate with the airport." Xia Youjie frowned deeply, a fierce glint in his eyes, already somewhat impatient with the flea-like curse master.
Tsurumi Kawakami nodded, protecting the two people behind him, and took out his phone from his pocket to make a call.
As time dragged on, one of the curse casters, a gaunt middle-aged man, chuckled and veered his spell toward the airport security guards not far away. An invisible force repelled three or four security guards wielding shields, sending them sprawling into a heap.
The sudden attack threw everyone into chaos, and the situation, which had been brought under control, descended into disarray once again.
In the chaos, the man in the suit and a short, hooded man used a concealment spell to slip into a corner. They exchanged a glance, but instead of attacking the Star Essence, they turned their attention to Misato Kuroi, who was protecting Riko Tennen.
"Misato——!!"
After the riot broke out, Riko grabbed Misato's arm in fear. When Misato was being pulled back by the shoulder, she immediately noticed the man in the suit and the short, hooded man who were approaching her. In a moment of panic, she stepped out of Tsurumi Kawa's protective circle and grabbed Misato with both hands.
With a pull and a tug, Riko Tennen lost her balance and fell forward. Tsurumi Kawa noticed the commotion out of the corner of his eye, quickly hung up the phone, and leaped forward, kicking the man who was holding Misato Kuroi.
"Riko, you and Kuroi go to Jie's side, I'll deal with them." He grabbed Kuroi Misato and threw her toward Riko.
The scene became increasingly chaotic. Benches and signs in the airport terminal were smashed, and ear-piercing sounds scraped against eardrums. Accompanied by screams from airport staff, it was impossible to tell whether the curse caster's side was more violent or the other side was more chaotic.
Fortunately, the college responded quickly. After Tsurumi Kawakami finished making the call, Yagami Masamichi immediately reported to the General Directorate, and the nearest assistant supervisor also contacted the person in charge at the airport by phone.
About ten minutes later, security personnel began to evacuate the airport staff, giving them space.
Seeing their retreat, the curse masters sensed something was wrong. Some withdrew from the battle, glanced reluctantly at the star-like body protected behind the cursed spirit, and then turned and left.
After Tsurumi Kawakami defeated the man in the suit and the short hooded man, he turned to look at Gojo Satoru. The tall man with a scar on his lip was not at a disadvantage and was fighting Gojo Satoru back and forth.
Its powerful physical explosive ability is terrifying.
"Hey, I recognize you. You're Zenji, right?" Gojo Satoru was knocked back several meters. His sunglasses slipped down, revealing a pair of azure eyes on the back. With six eyes, he could see that the man fighting him had no curse power in his body. Even ordinary people would not have a trace of curse power in their bodies.
The absence of magical power and the unparalleled physical strength immediately reminded Gojo Satoru of the special existence in the world of magic—Heaven and Binding.
He had only ever seen one such person before, when he visited the Zen temple as a child. Now that he thought about it, although the appearance of the person in front of him had changed somewhat, it still matched his memory, and such a person would make it impossible for Gojo Satoru to mistake him.
"Tch, the six-eyed brat is still as difficult to deal with as ever. But I've married into the family now and changed my surname to Fuhei." The man now called Fuhei Shen'er hated the surname Zen-in-Yuan so much that he didn't hesitate to marry into the family and change his surname.
Fukushige twitched the corner of his mouth, and the somewhat conspicuous scar smoothed out. He glanced at Kong Shiyu out of the corner of his eye and saw him fail, raising an eyebrow in surprise, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes. Finally, he gave the Gojo family's Six-Eyed a deep look, stuffed the weapon into the mouth of the cursed spirit coiled on his shoulder, and intended to stop there.
The assistant supervisors, who rushed to the scene, set up a dark tent outside the airport, and the curse masters who failed to escape in time were all captured.
After all that trouble, I still missed my flight to Okinawa.
After being picked up by the assistant supervisor, the back seat of the car was a bit cramped. Tsurumi Kawaru was squeezed against the car window. He moved his legs, trying to move forward a bit, but was immediately pressed down by Natsuyu Jie next to him.
Wu Tiao Wu, with his long legs, couldn't fit in the back seat, so he was moved to the front passenger seat. Exhausted from the battle, he had a slight headache. He expertly reached behind him and asked Xia Youjie for some candy.
"Wu, are you going back to the vocational college?" Xia Youjie looked at Wu Tiao Wu with some concern and handed him the milk candy from his pocket.
He tore open all the candies and threw them into his mouth. With five or six candies in his mouth, Gojo Satoru's voice was a little muffled: "I'm not going back yet."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Riko, who was sitting in the back row, her expression panicked and clearly still reeling from the fight: "Riko, where do you think you're going?"
Riko Tennatsu, who had been called out, was like a frightened bird. Under the comforting words of Misato Kuroi, she gradually calmed down and swallowed hard before saying, "Let's go, let's go to the hot springs."
"Let's go to Hakone for hot springs!" Gojo Satoru suggested cheerfully, stroking his chin and thinking for a moment before letting his right fist hang in his palm.
Xia Youjie wanted to comfort Nen no Riko, but Gojo Satoru's interruption made him look somewhat helpless. However, seeing Nen no Riko calm down and agree with Gojo Satoru's Hakone trip, a smile appeared on his face.
"Well, Kato, you can take us to the station," Gojo Satoru instructed the assistant supervisor who was driving.
The group got off the train at the station. This time, in order to prevent those curse masters from ruining their Hakone trip, they went to a nearby shopping mall to buy clothes to disguise themselves before setting off, and changed out of their iconic college uniforms.
Xia Youjie looked at Wutiao Wu's conspicuous white hair and casually took a sun hat and put it on his head.
After changing clothes, they first ate something to fill their stomachs, then took the Shinkansen to Hakone, and then transferred to a train. After about an hour and a half of travel, they arrived smoothly at the hot spring hotel in Hakone that they had arranged to meet two hours in advance.
June is a relatively quiet month for tourism in Hakone, considered the off-season. After checking into their hotel and resting for a while, they went out to find food around 4:30 pm, and after eating, they returned to the hotel to enjoy the hot springs.
"Riko's bounty is still up, but it seems like fewer curse masters are taking it." Tsurumi Kawaru lay by the hot spring looking at his phone, the rising steam blurring his features.
Xia Youjie came over, and the two studied the bounties posted on the dark web for a while. Then, Ieiri Shoko sent a message in the chat room.
"Shoko wants us to go back to the high school. The high school has a barrier set by Tengen, so those curse masters who have accepted bounties can't get in." Tsurumi Kawaru said to Gojo Satoru, who was comfortably soaking in the hot spring, after reading Shoko's message.
"No way! We promised to take Riko out for some fun, but now we can't go to Okinawa. I don't want to go back to the vocational high school right now." Gojo Satoru, with a towel on his head, reached into a tray floating on the water and took a soft-boiled egg.
Xia Youjie paused, just about to say something, when he heard the sounds of Tian Tian Li Zi and Kuroi Misato playing around coming from next door.
When choosing a hot spring, they were worried about what might happen to Riko, so they chose one that was separated by a bamboo fence.
Hearing the noise coming from next door, Xia Youjie immediately fell silent.
After their hot spring outing, Riko Tennen and Misato Kuroi enjoyed an aromatherapy massage offered by the shop. The three boys, who weren't particularly fond of massages, sat outside waiting, bored. After their ordeal, they returned to their hotel room around 8:40 PM.
"Where else does Riko want to go?" Gojo Satoru asked, hooking his sunglasses up.
Riko paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I want to go to Ginza for a Western meal!"
“Western food? No problem! Let’s go tomorrow!” Gojo Satoru said, winking.

Almost missed the update, thank goodness. [Image of a sesame and peanut butter noodle dish] Yesterday I bought a jar of sesame and peanut butter noodles, and this morning when I woke up, my eyes were swollen from being inflamed, like I'd been stung by a bee = =
My new pre-order book, "Fu Hei, She Starts Raising a Child," consists of two short stories. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites on my author page. I'm planning to start this next book. →
[Also known as "I'm Raising a Child in a Curse to Revitalize the Game"] [Mainly about raising a child + daily life, with some romantic pairings, but the romance is not very obvious]
Chinatsu Fushiguro is an ordinary game architect who designs pixel games aimed at ages 8+. The only unusual thing about her is that, in addition to being an architect, she also has the role of a creator.
So pixel games seem to have become something special.
Recently, Chinatsu Fushiguro's game encountered problems. In order to revive the game, she made a deal with her parallel world counterpart, taking over two cubs and raising them.
-
In Saitama Prefecture, the Fushiguro family is in dire straits. After the scumbag father disappears, the mother, the breadwinner of the family, also decides to leave home. Leaving behind a note and some money, only 6-year-old Fushiguro Megumi and her 8-year-old sister, Tsumiki, remain at home.
Just when they were forced to accept reality and start living frugally, their mother, who had run away from home, suddenly returned!
It's just that Mom seems to have changed.
Megumi Fushiguro, who could see the cursed spirit, stared wide-eyed as her mother took out a glass jar, put the cursed spirit inside, and carried it home as a precious treasure.
"What's in the jar?" Tsumiki stared in confusion at the glass jars filling the shelves.
“Ah, it’s a little fairy.” Chinatsu Fushiguro said with a smile.
"Liar, it's clearly a weird cursed spirit." Fushiguro Megumi said with half-moon eyes.
-
After taking over the mess and settling down with her two children, Chinatsu Fushiguro suddenly received a call from the high school's auxiliary supervisor, informing her to come and collect the body.
Looking at the mangled corpse, most of which was missing, Fukuro Chika bent down and patted the two children's heads: "This is probably what happens when a father abandons his wife and children."
After collecting the body, Chinatsu Fushiguro immediately took it to the crematorium, and in the end, she received a small urn containing ashes. She planted the urn in her yard, and in the fall, she gained a free laborer.
"Shen'er, hurry up and organize the shelves, and remember to take the children to school later."
Chinatsu Fushiguro, who currently runs a rather unusual convenience store, ordered the other party around.
