Chapter 32 Chapter 32 The old man is not at home tonight (? ...
A few more days passed.
Apart from not having a cell phone, Eri Kimoto has adapted quite well to the place. She eats well and sleeps well.
If she hadn't been able to spar with several different Geto Suguru and his family members almost every day, she would probably have gained a few pounds... She should have been a little stronger, and even felt that she could fight better.
Nanako and Mimiko were out today, and Geto was not there either, so Eri Kimoto could only arrange to practice speaking with a foreigner named Miguel. Actually, Miguel spoke Japanese quite well, but he stuttered a little and sounded strange.
"A magic bottle doesn't refer to a bottle that contains magic, it refers to a thermos cup."
Eri Kimoto lazily sat aside, turning a page of the book in her hand while guiding him on the correct pronunciation: "It's mahoubin, not mahaobin."
"WOW!" Miguel exclaimed, "I thought it was a magic bottle that could summon Aladdin!"
Qi Ben Eri paused in her reading and glanced at him in confusion: "Isn't that Aladdin's oil lamp?"
“Yes!”
Eri Kimoto yawned, changed to a more leisurely sitting position and read a book.
This posture made Miguel show a look of disapproval, and he said in a worried tone like a male mother: "Eri-chan, reading like this will make you nearsighted!"
The movement of turning the pages of the book paused.
"Hey, you don't want your eyes anymore?"
The sudden voice of the young man in her ear made Eri Kimoto silent. She thought to herself, this is really strange. Has the frequency of this guy Megumi Fushiguro appeared too often these days?
The first few days after being imprisoned were fine, but what happened in the past two days? I think of him from time to time.
"Oh," Eri Kimoto said, turning over with the perfunctory attitude of someone whose parents couldn't handle the situation. "I understand."
Miguel sighed and went back to studying Japanese seriously.
After a few minutes, Eri Kimoto silently turned her gaze to the man.
Miguel should have a cell phone, even an old one will do. Can I borrow it from him? I just want to send a message and warn Yuta Okkotsu not to come looking for me. If he comes, he will be walking into a trap.
If someone were to come and take him away, no matter how I thought about it, it would be more reassuring if it was Gojo Satoru. But who on earth would remember Gojo Satoru's phone number... Who on earth would memorize this guy's phone number?!
Apart from Yuuta Okkotsu, Eri Kimoto seemed to only remember one mobile phone number.
"Miguel~ Can you lend me your phone so I can send a message~"
Miguel looked up at her from behind his book. "No, Eri-chan. Gosho specifically told me not to post memes online. But what does a meme mean?"
...Damn Geto Suguru.
Forget it, I'll find a way to get a mobile phone myself. Qi Ben Eri explained the meaning of the word "艮" lightly, yawned again, and glanced calmly at the Panxing sect members guarding the door.
At dusk, the sky gradually darkened, like a colorful oil painting gradually blending into the night.
Although Geto Suguru is not here today, he was the one who set the rule that every time it is mealtime, no matter how many cadres are present, all of them must gather together to eat. Now the only ones left in Panxing Sect are Miguel and the pink-haired pretty girl named Suda Manami.
Rather than a sorcerer, Suda Manami looks more like an accountant... She was even typing away on her calculator while eating.
Eri Kimoto secretly leaned over to take a look at the report in front of her and found that she had never seen such a long string of numbers, with real money symbols in front of it.
...it really fits her stereotype of cults.
"Let's go!" Manami Suda quickly ate a few mouthfuls of food and left in a hurry in her high heels, with a look of disgust on her face, complaining that the money collected this month was not as good as last month.
After finishing his meal, Miguel said goodbye and left. In the huge Panxing Sect restaurant, except for the passers-by believers waiting to be served, only Eri Kimoto was left.
The golden sunset slowly sank into the horizon, replaced by the gradually deepening night.
The place where the Panxing Sect is located is very remote. We only know that it is probably in some mountain valley. After it gets dark, it is completely quiet with only the chirping of birds and insects, which is a bit unbearable.
Qi Ben Eri was silent: "..."
It’s so weird, I feel like a left-behind child!
She slowly turned her head, her eyes flickering as she looked at the unfortunate believer standing quietly on the side.
Unlucky Cultist: ".......What's wrong, Eri-chan... Lord Kimoto?!"
Ten minutes later,
Finally, after threatening the unlucky guy with a bruised face and nose not to tell her about how she had stolen his phone today, Eri Kimoto returned to her room and threw herself on the bed.
What should I send to Fushiguro-san... Eri Kimoto began to think.
[Hey, Fushiguro-san, are you still alive? ]
[The snapping sound I heard wasn't the sound of my kick breaking your ribs, haha.]
...Forget it, let's not bring this up anymore. It would be embarrassing if I really broke his ribs.
[Fushiguro-san, I'm leaving my unfinished summer homework to you!]
Phew... I can already imagine the expression on that sea urchin's face after this sentence is sent... Anyway, it should be very funny.
It’s better to be serious. Eri Kimoto rolled half a circle on the bed, changed her position and held the mobile phone.
【Be well, don't worry. 】
This should be fine, it expresses the theme briefly and directly, but the two words "don't read" are a bit weird... If he really doesn't read himself at all, well, wouldn't it make me feel a little unhappy?
Eri Kimoto scratched her head and thought that if she was sending a message to Yuta Otsutsuki, she would probably just send a '1' and then add 'Don't come' and 'I told you don't come, you bastard'.
Although I feel that I am a little too perfunctory towards my brother-in-law...but other than that, I really don't have much to say to Yuta Otsutsukota. It has been like this for so many years. It is Yuta Otsutsukota who talks most between the two of them, not me. My brother-in-law has a strong desire to share.
Huh? That's not right...
It seems like, it’s okay to send a message to Megumi Fushiguro without stealing someone’s phone?
It was perfectly normal to send a message to Yuuta Otsutsuki, but why did she have to send one to Megumi Fushiguro as well? Was it because she knew that no matter what message she sent to Yuuta Otsutsuki, he would come looking for her?
But it seems that it is not entirely due to this reason...It is really strange.
Eri Nori suddenly turned over and sat up. This question really made her feel a little confused. She didn't feel like she was the kind of person who had to tell others that she was safe. Why was that?! And why did she seem to talk more to Megumi Fushiguro?
Is it because he was under the constant supervision of Fushiguro Megumi some time ago? In short, it seems that Fushiguro Megumi is different from other classmates. Could it be that, most likely, he is his guardian?
...Oh, that makes sense, because that's how they've been interacting for the past few months! Eri Kimoto feels like she can even see the question mark coming from Megumi Fushiguro right now!
Or the numerous question marks that came after I didn’t reply to his messages!!
I understand. Eri Qiben has also thought about what to send him. Just send it as usual. One sentence can let him know that it is him, and that he is safe and can relax.
The black-haired, red-eyed girl nodded, lowered her head and began typing. After checking that there were no typos, she pressed the send button.
.....
.....
At the same time, the Spell High School.
The atmosphere in Jujutsu High School was still depressing. Ever since Eri Kimoto was captured by that man named Geto Suguru, the atmosphere in Jujutsu High School was indescribable.
Megumi Fushiguro, who has fully recovered after treatment, Yuta Otsutsuki, whose face is so gloomy that water could drip out of it, and several other seniors all look unhappy.
'The Panxing Cult has been hiding for a long time'
"Eri will be fine."
'Wait for news'
"Believe in Eri and..."
'He won't hurt Eri'
These words were almost unable to appease Yuuta Okkotsu, and compared to Yuuta Okkotsu, 'Rika', who almost went berserk more than ten times in the past two weeks, seemed to be unable to hold it back anymore. If it weren't for Yuuta Okkotsu trying his best to appease her, the Jujutsu High School would have been demolished long ago. Of course, for this reason, Yuuta Okkotsu was also ordered not to leave the school.
Gojo Satoru has not returned to the technical high school in the past few days. He must be outside looking for information or doing something. However, the comfort of the seniors is no longer useful. Fushiguro Megumi's face is gloomy, and finally she went to knock on the door of Senior Otsutsuki's room.
"Come in."
Senior Otsutsuki's room was very ordinary, clean and nothing special. However, Fushiguro Megumi didn't want to pay any attention to it at this time. He felt a hint of coldness as soon as he entered the room.
The dangerous aura from the special-grade cursed spirit and the abnormal expression on Senior Otsutsuki's face made Megumi Fushiguro get goosebumps unconsciously as she watched her senior sitting on the edge of the bed sharpening a knife.
"Huijun, what's wrong?"
"Senior," Fushiguro Megumi paused and looked him straight in the eyes, "Would you like to come with me to find Eri?"
The two boys stared at each other quietly for a few seconds until Yuta Otsutsuki, who was sitting beside the bed, stood up. The boy didn't have much expression on his face, but just asked lightly,
"Do you know where we're going?"
Yuta Okkotsu's dark circles look a little heavy, probably because he hasn't slept well for these days.
Fushiguro Megumi felt a little guilty. If she had been more decisive at the time, maybe she could have held on until her senior came to help, and then Eri would not have been captured by Geto Suguru...
Fushiguro Megumi nodded slightly, glanced at the tightly closed door, and then said, "I heard that the Banking Sect seems to be in Nikko City."
The city he was referring to is located in the northern Kanto region of Honshu, Japan. Covering an area of 320 square kilometers, the city is renowned for its rich natural landscapes and historical sites, making it a major tourist destination in Japan, with numerous mountains and forests.
Yuta Otsutsuki didn't ask him about the source of the information. He just quickly made a silent gesture to Rika Kimoto who suddenly appeared in the room, "Rika, be quiet, you will be discovered."
Norimoto Rika couldn't hold it back any longer, and the terrifying momentum that suddenly surged made Fushiguro Megumi take a step back involuntarily.
"I'm sorry, Hui-kun."
Otsutsukota, who had finally calmed Rika Kimoto, nodded to him: "Rika is too anxious. It's never happened before that Eri has been out of contact for half a month."
"...Yeah." Megumi Fushiguro could understand.
Otsutsuki Yuta looked at him quietly for a few seconds before calmly asking, "Excuse me, but that man named Geto Suguru is very strong, on the same level as Gojo-sensei. If you go there, not only will you not be able to save Eri, you might even lose your life."
"Why do you want to go?"
"I don't think you and Eri have become life-threatening friends in just a few months."
Why go?
Fushiguro Megumi was stunned for a moment, and instinctively felt something strange about the senior's expression.
The senior clearly didn't seem to have many doubts and could even say he was calm, but I always felt that if I gave the wrong answer, I would be refused to go with him.
Megumi Fushiguro was silent for a few seconds, and her mind thought back to that day when Eri Nori kicked her away and was carried away by Geto Suguru, and also the way she looked at her deeply.
“…”
“There aren’t that many whys.”
Fushiguro Megumi looked him straight in the eye: "I just want to bring that guy back."
“…”
“…”
Yuta Otsukotsu smiled and said, "Okay."
.
"Then let's go now. No one will notice if we sneak out."
Having packed his things and carrying his samurai sword, Yuta Otsutsuki was ready to hit the road with his future apprentice.
Just as Fushiguro Megumi nodded, she heard the beep of a new message on her phone.
[The old man is not at home tonight, and I'm so bored. Just transfer 500 yen to me and you can unlock the secrets of the Bankei Cult (Rose)]
Fushiguro Megumi: ""
Just when the corners of Fushiguro Megumi's mouth were twitching and she was confused for the umpteenth time by the nonsensical message sent by that person, her phone vibrated again.
[ps. Remember to transfer it to my real card! ]
Fushiguro Megumi: ""
The boy with the sea urchin hair fell silent.
Just when he was about to hand the message in his hand to his confused senior who was about to go out, new message jumped into his eyes.
"I'm fine here, Fushiguro-san, don't worry about me. And, the most important thing is that you must help me do it."
[You absolutely cannot let Yuuta Otsutsuki come to see me. ]
Absolutely.
Fushiguro Megumi: ""
..........What if you had sent a message earlier? ! ! ! !

Megumi: Tension?!
