Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Male Mother. ...
The daily life at Jujutsu High School seems to be quite normal.
Eri Kimoto, who has already been doing very well here, has become familiar with not only the teachers and seniors, but also some property staff who come in and out of the college from time to time to replenish supplies or repair dormitory equipment.
I've seen Gojo Satoru more often since school started. He's really busy, but surprisingly, he sometimes teaches very seriously...of course, that's only sometimes.
Because another classmate who had not yet enrolled due to personal reasons had not yet arrived, and Fushiguro Megumi and Kimoto Eri were obviously already quite capable, Gojo Satoru would often take them out for practical classes.
If Gojo Satoru really has no time, he will practice some physical training classes with his seniors. Zenin Maki and Otsutsu Yuta will act as temporary teachers. The training method is to fight after physical training, and keep fighting until everyone is satisfied.
Originally, some people didn't like Zenin Maki very much, but her physical skills were really impeccable. Eri Kimoto liked people with strength, and after fighting with her a few times, she felt that Zenin Maki was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye. Finally, after seeing that Zenin Maki and her sister got along well, that feeling of dislike gradually changed until she became as fond of her as other seniors.
Time flies and a month has passed.
In a month, Eri Kimoto was able to crochet a normal finger puppet doll. The doll was not very big and looked almost the same as her Q-version doll, almost the size of a smaller finger puppet.
Eri Kimoto really enjoys the process of crocheting dolls. She is very quiet and focused. At the beginning, she was immersed in this state a few times and surprised some seniors, but after seeing it more often, they were no longer surprised. They all sighed that Eri seemed to be a different person at this time. At this time, Rika Kimoto and Yuta Otsutsukota looked at their sister and smiled silently at each other.
There is also Megumi Fushiguro who is very familiar with her state. The two of them used to go to bookstores together to read books in Saitama, and at that time, Eri Kimoto was also quietly immersed like this.
The first finger puppet she drew was of course given to her sister. It was a Q-version little sister. Eri Kimoto was very satisfied with her finished product. Her sister was also very happy to receive the gift and immediately hung it on her body.
Then the remaining balls of yarn of the same color were not wasted. I made a Q-version brother-in-law as a couple with my sister, but it was still quite exquisite. When I received it, Yuta Otsutsuki was so moved that he almost cried!
He looked so moved that he didn't know what to do. In the end, like his sister, Yuta Otsutsuki also tied the doll to the knife bag, and then began...
Eri Kimoto is starting to get out of control!
After drawing two jade dogs, one black and one white, Panda Senior's gaze was simply impossible to ignore, so she drew a Q-version little panda. Thinking that she couldn't favor one over the other, Eri Kimoto simply drew Inujuki Senior and Maki Senior.
Eri Kimoto's craftsmanship has skyrocketed in this month. Starting with Panda senior, the expressions of the finger puppets have also begun to change. Panda has yellow four-pointed star eyes, Maki senior has a cool frowning expression, and Inujuan senior still has small eyes and looks cute and silly.
The seniors all like it!
In this way, finger puppets from the same series appeared on several seniors, either hanging on their bags or weapon bags. In short, even Gojo Satoru came to Eri Kimoto when he saw it and asked when his own doll would be ready.
Eri Norimoto (Cold version: "Step back a little."
But there is still one person who has not received his own doll from the same series. Megumi Fushiguro only received two Q-version dolls that look like jade dogs. These days, he has more or less glanced at Eri Nori's handicrafts inadvertently... but it seems that it is not his turn yet.
How strange...why hasn't it been my turn yet?
Megumi Fushiguro didn't know who she was flirting with first, she just felt that they looked like they were from the same series... two girls wearing sailor uniforms.
Yes, it’s Nanako and Mimiko.
Then someone will ask, Eri-Eri, why did you choose Nanako and Mimiko's dolls? Do you have such deep feelings for them?
Of course there is a reason. The reason is that a few days ago, a photo of dolls sitting in a row was posted on the circle of friends. It was commented by a person with the note "weird bangs". He said it was quite cute.
A few minutes later, he sent another private message saying that Nanako and Mimiko also wanted to hang on the bag.
Qi Ben Eri immediately rolled her eyes and replied,
【Eri: Line up.】
【Eri: Give me money.】
Weird bangs: (Picture)
Eri Kimoto clicked on the picture, which showed an electronic remittance receipt with the amount being one million yen.
“.....”
After silently counting zeros several times, Eri Kimoto was silent for several seconds. Then, when Geto Suguru asked when it would be finished, she quickly changed his note and replied very sincerely,
【Eri: Of course!!!】
[Eri: Besides Nanako and Mimiko-san, you and your other family members can also do it!]
[Rich weird bangs: Hahahahahahahahahaha]
[Rich Weird Bangs: You actually used honorifics, hahahahahahaha!]
Honorific?
This is the victim... No, this big client deserves it, Qi Ben Eri thought.
She decided to temporarily slow down the production of the dolls for the same period. The maid uniform was not easy to crochet. She would wait until she finished this big order before crocheting Fushiguro's finger puppet. She didn't know if he would like it.
So this month, Eri Norimoto had a very fulfilling life, in every aspect.
Then half a month later,
Yuta Okkotsu was assigned to go abroad to complete tasks and study.
Because her brother-in-law took her sister with him for further studies, Eri Kimoto has had a very bad face these past two days, and her low mood is clearly visible.
The exorcism task just now was completed ridiculously fast, probably because she vented her anger by breaking the second-level cursed spirit into eight pieces. The senior panda who took her on the task was stunned.
On the Shinkansen train back to the dormitory, Panda's expression and tone when talking to her seemed a bit respectful, and he even lowered his head and acted when handing her something.
"Eri-sama, do you want to eat your bento now?"
Lady Qiben Eri didn't really want to eat her bento now. She shook her head and continued looking out the window.
The night view that was rapidly moving backwards was actually not very clear. Before reaching the city, I could only see the vague lines of mountains and fields.
I feel a little inexplicably restless, maybe because besides not knowing how long my sister will be away, I'm also upset about something else.
Eri Kimoto clicked her tongue, took out her phone and scrolled through her Line account for a long time. It was only nine o'clock in the evening. In the past, all those people would send her messages, but why didn't anyone ask her out to play today?
...Why do I feel even more unhappy?
Eri Qimoto silently opened a dialog box and glanced at the chat history on the screen. A long time had passed but there was still no reply.
【Eri: When will you come back? 】
Fushiguro: Come back after you get the things.
[Eri: Which school is it in Miyagi Prefecture?]
[Mr. Fushiguro: Sugizawa Third High School in Miyagi Prefecture.]
[Eri: Eh... I haven't heard much about it. It doesn't seem very famous.]
[Eri: But other schools in my hometown of Miyagi Prefecture are pretty famous. Do you know Karasuno High School? Fushiguro-kun! They're on TV again!]
[Eri: Besides Karasuno High School, there are several others. It seems like the schools in my hometown are pretty good at volleyball! I'm really looking forward to watching their spring high school games!]
Fushiguro-san: ...The Spring High School Games ended a long time ago, didn't they? It's almost June now, and several months have passed. You're talking about the next national championships, right?
Fushiguro: You're a fake fan.
【Eri: Well, that seems to be the case! 】
【Eri: Then when will you come back? 】
Eri: Well, forget about volleyball. In a month or two, we can go watch the Koshien baseball game!
Fushiguro: It's almost time. I'm at the school gate.
Fushiguro-san: (Picture)
Fushiguro: Sure, we can go to Koshien when we have some time off.
Fushiguro-san: If nothing unexpected happens, we can return to Tokyo soon.
Fushiguro-san: Did you and Panda-senpai complete the mission?
【Eri: (Picture)】
[Eri: We're getting ready to board the Shinkansen! If Eri-sama takes action, those cursed spirits will be nothing!]
Fushiguro: Yes.
Fushiguro: Go back and get some rest.
[Eri: I want to see Ryoumen Sukuna's fingers! !]
Fushiguro-san: (Picture)
Fushiguro: It should be like this. I'll take a picture of it when I get it.
【Eri: Great! 】
And then nothing happened.
Eri Nori checked the time. Half an hour had already passed. Could it be that Megumi Fushiguro still hadn't gotten Ryoumen Sukuna's finger? Wasn't it said to be in a window box at the school?
The two were referring to a being known as the Curse King thousands of years ago, a demon with four arms and two faces. At the time, curses were at their peak, and sorcerers gathered their forces to challenge him, but each failed. He was later given the name "Ryomen Sukuna," and after his death, his twenty severed fingers were transformed into specially enchanted objects, sealed away and scattered across Japan.
Of course, it comes from the popular science of theoretical classes. Eri Kimoto imagined the image of this cursed king from a thousand years ago in her mind, with four hands and two faces... Of course, she also drew a small one, and of course it was also a Q version.
Of course, Dangdang received a silent evaluation from Megumi Fushiguro.
Places like schools or hospitals, which are prone to gathering a lot of resentment, will secretly store some "exorcism" cursed objects. If more evil cursed objects are stored, other curses will not approach. The one stored in Sugizawa Third High School is Ryomen Sukuna's finger.
They say the seal has been loosening over the years, and to prevent any accidents, they're trying to retrieve it now. But to see this special-grade cursed item just sitting there in a high school window is kind of unsettling.
The Shinkansen continued to move steadily towards Tokyo.
Eri Kimoto pouted as she stared at her phone which had not yet received a reply. Finally, she snorted before exiting the chat interface with Megumi Fushiguro. After thinking about it, she sent a message to another person.
[Eri: What do Ryoumen Sukuna's fingers look like? Are they similar to ordinary people's fingers?]
I received a reply soon.
[Rich Weird Bangs: Why are you asking this all of a sudden? ]
[Rich Weird Bangs: That's all we've learned? I remember thinking Ryoumen Sukuna wasn't even in first grade, right?]
[Eri: Yes, I learned it. It's been ten years since you started school, so isn't it normal for the textbooks to be updated?]
[Eri: Have you seen Ryoumen Sukuna's fingers? ]
[Wealthy Weird Liu Hai: I've seen it. It's wrapped tightly in sealed talisman paper, and inside is a finger. It's a human finger that looks a bit like a chicken claw, dry and flat, and purple in color.]
Eri Kimoto: “….”
What a weird description! It suddenly reminds me of finger biscuits.
Turning around, she took the bento that Panda Senior had just asked her if she wanted to eat, and continued to reply to Geto Suguru's message while stuffing her mouth with sushi.
[Wealthy guy with bangs: Want to see one? I have one here.]
[Eri:? ]
[Eri: Why do you have one? Do you have it in your collection?]
[Rich Weird Bangs: Yeah.]
[Wealthy people with weird bangs: I collected one by chance.]
Rich Weird Bangs: If you want to see it, come over tomorrow? Miguel and Lalu are back home, Riku is traveling, Manami is busy every day, Nanako and Mimiko recently started school and only come home every night. It's such a big Bankei Cult, and now it's just me and those monkeys left.
[Eri: Left-behind old boy. 】
[Rich guy with weird bangs: ...Haha, that's pretty funny.]
Qi Ben Eri thought for a moment, then lowered her head and typed,
[Eri: If you have time later, please come over and deliver the goods yourself.]
【Eri: (Picture)】
The picture sent over showed several finger puppets sitting together, including Nanako, Mimiko, Manami, Riku, Laru and Miguel, but the only thing missing was the sponsor himself.
[Eri: Your cassock is difficult to draw. I feel like the ones I drew before weren't very realistic.]
【Eri: And of course, your bangs.】
[Rich weird bangs:...]
[Rich Weird Bangs: Let's come tomorrow. We haven't practiced in a while. Don't you want to improve your taijutsu skills?]
[Wealthy Weird Bangs: Have you made any substantial progress on your ideas in this field recently? How about I help you?]
She rejected Geto Suguru's kind invitation and decided to go directly to Fushiguro Megumi instead of going to Bankei to teach her.
If you go to Panxingjiao, you can only see lonely and nagging old men in robes, but if you go to Miyagi Prefecture, not only will you return to your happy hometown, you may also meet the young and handsome volleyball boys on TV. With such a comparison, there is no need to hesitate for a second about where to go.
However, after a few minutes, Eri Kimoto saw the picture sent by Geto Suguru.
In the paper box was a strip of object tightly wrapped in talisman paper. Eri Kimoto enlarged the picture and thought that it should be easy for Megumi Fushiguro to just take this thing back.
Then why hasn’t he replied yet?
Qi Ben Eri snorted heavily, turned off the phone screen, turned around and started talking to Panda Senior.
"I'll be the only one in class tomorrow morning... Can I skip it and go out and play?"
"Where are you going to play, Eri? Can you take me with you?"
"I want to go to Miyagi Prefecture to see Fushiguro-san. Don't you have any missions tomorrow afternoon, senpai?"
“…Yes, QAQ.”
"You probably can't skip classes, but you can go to Miyagi Prefecture at noon. I don't think there's anything to do this afternoon, and there won't be anyone at school. The day after tomorrow is the weekend, so I think you can stay back home for two more days if there's no urgent mission."
"Tsuki, Maki, and I have agreed to relax for two days this weekend before we go on another mission. Woohoo, do you want to go with us this weekend, Eri?"
Eri Kimoto shook her head and said that she decided not to participate in their second-grade team-building activities, and would go find her classmates to play with on the weekend.
"But Hui's mission hasn't been completed yet? What if he comes back tonight?" asked the panda next to him.
Qi Ben Eri paused, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "Who knows?"
.....
.....
At the same time, Megumi Fushiguro was standing in a remote corner of Sugisawa Third High School, looking at the shutter box in front of him that was opened but empty, and fell into silence.
There should be a wooden box, and inside the wooden box should be Ryomen Sukuna's sealed finger, but there is nothing inside the louvered box, only air.
Fushiguro Megumi didn't believe it, and thoroughly examined the shutter box. She even suspected that she had opened the box incorrectly and opened and closed the door three times.
But there was nothing, nothing was nothing, his mission target was gone.
“…”
I called the teacher and Fushiguro Megumi said, "I can't find it. The blinds are empty!"
"Hmm?" Gojo Satoru's voice came from the other end of the line: "Is this true?"
"That's so funny! Did you go out for a walk at night? After all, you've been locked up here for so long, hehe." Gojo Satoru chuckled and continued, "You can't come back if you don't get that!"
"beep--"
The call was hung up.
Fushiguro Megumi: “^_^+”
Go back and beat him up.
.
While frantically searching around the blinds, a Line message alert on her phone brought Fushiguro Megumi back to her senses. She clicked on it and saw Eri Norimoto's emoticon pack.
[Eri: (Fat Tiger boxing.gif)]
Fushiguro Megumi: “….”
It's quite funny, probably because I didn't reply to her for a long time.
His tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and a hint of a faint smile and indulgence flashed across his eyes, which he himself had not noticed. Fushiguro Megumi typed slowly,
Fushiguro-san: I won't be back today.
Fushiguro-san: Ryoumen Sukuna's fingers are missing, and there's nothing inside the blind.
【Eri: Huh?】
[Eri: So who placed the special-grade cursed item here? Are you really in your right mind?]
Megumi Fushiguro strongly agreed with her harsh remarks this time. He really couldn't understand why Ryoumen Sukuna's finger was placed here. Couldn't they find a more secluded place?
Megumi Fushiguro sighed and thought that she should come here again tomorrow during the day to check. Maybe it was picked up by someone. Anyway, it couldn't be Ryomen Sukuna's finger as that person said, that he went out for a walk at night.
[Eri: Then I'll come and help you find it tomorrow! ]
Fushiguro: Yes.
[Mr. Fushiguro: You are not allowed to skip classes. You can only come after finishing your morning class.]
【Eri: ....】
Male mother.
