Chapter 43
Regarding what happened to Zenin Shinji, Geto Xiayou tried hard to hold back his laughter but couldn't help it.
"Sorry." Geto Xiayou apologized politely.
Exhaling a puff of nonexistent smoke in a melancholy manner, Zenin Shiner sighed: "Are you here to find Tokyo?"
Geto Suguru originally just came to deliver cartoon books, but if Tokyo was here he really wanted to meet him. Their school was indeed in Tokyo, but it was a relatively remote place in Tokyo, and because of the urban consciousness he didn't like going there, which resulted in Geto Suguru rarely coming to Tokyo.
"Did he come today?" Xia Youjie was a little curious. Usually, Tokyo would only show up when a decision was needed. But for the organization he founded, he wanted to throw all the work to Zenin Shin'er, like a black-hearted capitalist who wanted to squeeze all the sweat out of Zenin Shin'er.
However, Geto Suguru would not stand up for Zenin Shon. With Gojo Satoru around, they would naturally not lack information. A new person who appeared in the organization under the name of city consciousness had already been investigated by them.
As for Zenin Jiner, we can only say that we feel pity and helplessness, but the traces he left in the gray area cannot be washed away. Before he met his wife, Zenin Jiner was indeed not a good person. This time he came to Tokyo to do "voluntary labor", and Xiayou Jie also regarded him as a labor reform.
However, it is indeed hard to handle these things alone. In addition to his main job as a sorcerer, Geto Suguru also has to intern at Scepter 4. It is not easy for him to squeeze out time to help here.
Seeing that Zenin Shinji was really working diligently, Xiayou Jie suggested: "I will be promoted to the second grade next year, and I can introduce younger students to come here for internship."
However, Zenin Shin'er waved his hand and said, "Don't try to deceive me with your juniors who you don't know if you can recruit. Anyway, I will have someone to share my work in the future."
Xia Youjie didn't understand, and Zenin Jiner pointed to the president's office inside and said, "The new workforce is inside."
Besides people like Zenin Jiner, what kind of people would Tokyo recruit? Xia Youjie was a little curious, so he went inside. As soon as he reached the door, he ran into a lady in her thirties coming out.
She was the type of lady you often see on the street, wearing a simple and elegant white dress, with her hair tied up at the back of her head and bangs that were rare in summer, covering her eyebrows.
"Hello." Although the two almost bumped into each other, the lady still greeted very politely.
Geto Suguru also responded politely, and at the same time loosened his hand that was used to support her to prevent her from falling.
"I'm here to apply for a job. Are you from here too?" she asked.
Xia Youjie felt that the other person's gaze was strange, but he couldn't explain what was strange: "I come here to volunteer occasionally."
"Well, I hope we can meet again in the future." After saying that, the lady turned and left.
When turning to look at her profile, Xia Youjie just caught a glimpse of her previously thick bangs being blown up a little by the wind, and seemed to see some streaks on her forehead below.
"Xiayou, don't stand there at the door." A voice came from inside the room.
Shinichi Hinawa had just sent off several high school students as a school doctor an hour ago, but he didn't expect that Geto Suguru would come to visit him again a little while later. Shinichi Hinawa logged into Tokyo's account because of the traces left on ■Sou before. Under Tokyo's constant surveillance, ■Sou failed to do anything he wanted to do.
It just so happened that there was no one to organize him, and various accidental factors accumulated. Either the person he was supposed to meet today had a flat tire and couldn't come, or the cursed spirit he was paying attention to was exposed very quickly and was exorcised in an instant.
■Suo, who was having trouble with everything, simply went back to his old ways. Anyway, no one would recognize him if he changed his body. The safest place to hide was in an organization jointly established by the city consciousness, the high school of sorcery, and the royal authority.
Unexpectedly, after being unlucky for such a long time, he finally got lucky. Just when he was trying to find a way to sneak in, he happened to come across this organization recruiting.
So, when ■Suo walked in with the only recruitment flyer, Zenin Shinjiro, who was waiting at the door, closed the door with a smile and warmly entertained him. Soon, Tokyo notified Hinami Shinichi to come for an interview, with the aim of completing the employment procedures for this "high-quality labor force" as soon as possible.
After solving this problem, Hinata Shinichi was in a good mood, so happy that Geto Suguru noticed something was wrong. He was relatively familiar with the consciousness of this city that he had been in contact with the longest: "That lady, how should we treat her in the future?"
I haven't seen Tokyo for a long time. He seems to have matured a little. He is wearing a straight suit and his hair is combed neatly behind his head. He looks like an interviewer.
Even Zenin Shiro knew the inside story, and Shinichi Hinawa had no intention of hiding it from Geto Suguru: "Just treat her as the mouse that stole the oil but couldn't eat the lampstand."
"Then I understand." Geto Xiayou nodded. Tokyo would occasionally use various types of cats to describe other people, but he usually used mice to describe cursed spirits, criminals, and the unforgivable.
However, compared to this matter that he could not help with for the time being, Geto Suguru wanted to come here to inform Tokyo that he and his classmates were going to Kyoto for the summer vacation.
He was originally sitting quietly on the sofa, dressed in formal attire, looking like a social elite, but suddenly he jumped up with joy, looking exactly the same as the boy in Geto's memory.
"Are you all going? Don't worry, Kyoto is big, enough for you to have fun for the whole summer." The boy rubbed his hands and tried to instruct them, "I remember that Gojo Satoru's technique upgrade is not yet completed, and you haven't mastered the use of the new cursed spirit you subdued. It doesn't matter, you can practice as you like after you arrive in Kyoto."
As for the relationship between Tokyo and Kyoto, Geto Suguru witnessed with his own eyes the boy's change from always saying "Kyoto" to what it is now. Although he is not sure what happened in between, Geto Suguru feels that the relationship between the two cities should still be very good. After all, Tokyo is the type of city that has taken being tough on the outside but soft on the inside to the extreme.
Xia Youjie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only respond verbally: "Okay, we'll try when we have a chance. Compared to this, can you tell us what Kyoto's urban consciousness is like, because no one has ever seen him, maybe he doesn't like humans?"
Hearing this, the young man sneered: "There is no city consciousness more bizarre than him, and there is no city consciousness closer to humans than him. The reason why no one has seen him is probably because those who have seen him don't think he is a city consciousness."
Seeing that Geto Xiayou had a thoughtful expression, Tokyo Consciousness said in a slightly more serious tone: "You can be curious, but don't get too close to him. You don't want to know what the price is."
Tokyo didn't say much, but it made Geto Suguru very curious. What is Kyoto like?
Close to humans, never seen before, dangerous...
Several labels were pasted on it, which made Xia Youjie's mind more imaginative, so that he was absent-minded when playing with the twin sisters and left here early.
Summer vacation in Japan usually starts in July and lasts until August. Even though students at the Jujutsu High School may be called out on business trips during the holidays, with the existence of city awareness, the busier ones are the hired sorcerers. Underage students like them have much more time, so if nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to spend the summer vacation well.
If nothing unexpected happened, an accident still happened.
It was almost when I arrived at the Gojo family——
"Why didn't anyone open the door for you?" Jialiu Naoko held her chin with lifeless eyes. She didn't expect to encounter such a tragic accident on her first visit to her classmate's house. "Damn it, I brought my kimono and sake. I don't think I have to work again."
Xia Youjie also lay on the table: "Glass, we are not yet adults, we can't drink."
"Why would I wear a kimono if I'm not drinking?!"
"So you girls wear kimonos for drinking?" Gojo Satoru didn't have the strength to do it.
"I don't want to rant about you two anymore. I don't have the energy anymore."
Before the start of summer vacation, Ye Mo Zheng Dao gave three people a task like a summer homework. It was not difficult as they were all low-level cursed spirits to be dealt with, but the things that needed to be investigated and the people who needed to be communicated with made it a very arduous task.
The head teacher originally wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to hone the social skills of the three students. Except for Geto Suguru, the other two, one relied on his own strength to do lawless things, and the other one thought he was a logistics staff and gradually became rotten. If this continues, the three of them will definitely become thorns in the eyes of the top management.
Ye Mo Zhengdao recognizes the ideals of his students, but if they learn to be flexible and not be so confrontational with the top leaders, some of these ideals may be implemented more smoothly.
In order to let the students learn this truth, the head teacher specially arranged such a summer homework. As a result, three foolish students thought that -
The nurse reserve believed: "If I have to do the mission, I won't be able to have fun during the summer vacation."
The white-haired boy took a look and said, "Let me see. Investigate, eliminate the cursed spirits, and report the results to the Spellcaster Association. It can be roughly divided into three steps."
The black-haired boy with a bun said seriously, "After division of labor, let's try to finish it in one day, and then we can take the Rainbow Dragon to Kyoto?"
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Just like all students who like to stay up late to finish their summer homework, the three technical college students worked hard all day to complete the task that Ye Mo Zheng Dao intended for them to use as training, and even smeared the task book on an old orange's face.
By the time Yega Zhengmichi knew about this, the three of them had already flown straight to Kyoto on the Rainbow Dragon.
They thought they could have the best summer vacation life, but when they arrived at Gojo Satoru's house, the gate of the Japanese-style courtyard was closed, and the three of them were turned away.
"Why don't we call our family and ask them to open the door?" Xia Yujie suggested.
Gojo Satoru scratched his head: "I blocked them."
"Did you finally get kicked out by your family?" guessed Ieiri Naoko.
Gojo Satoru stroked his chin and thought for a while: "It shouldn't be that serious, right?" Recently, apart from talking back to the elders, destroying the ancestral hall, and giving away the ancestral magic weapon, he hasn't done anything else.
