morning.

When Amanouchi Riko and Kuroi Misato appeared in the restaurant, Gojo Satoru and Kayu Kei had already ordered a big meal.

Tenuchi Riko's eyes lit up, "So abundant?"

She pulled out a chair and sat across from them, muttering to herself, "It feels a bit like a celebration of my future as a Tianyuan-sama!"

Kuroi Misato: “…”

Just before Tenuchi Riko was about to reach for the chopsticks, a bottle of hand sanitizer fell on their dining table.

Tenuchi Riko was stunned, then turned around and looked around.

The way this hand sanitizer fell was the same as the grenade before. It should have been dropped by that strange long-haired boy.

She picked up the bottle of hand sanitizer and asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"

Xia Yujie gave a helpless smile and answered, "Wash your hands before eating."

Tenuchi Riko: “…”

This is absolutely disrespectful!

Tenuchi Riko said: "I have already washed it!"

Geto explained, "Hahaha, don't get me wrong, Riko-sister. It's just that Al's family attaches too much importance to hygiene. He is also doing this for our own good."

...Well, before the barbecue last night, Xia Yujie reminded them to wash their hands first. It turned out that there was a guy in the team who had a serious obsession with cleanliness. He was strict not only with himself, but also with his teammates.

Tenuchi Riko squeezed out some hand sanitizer and gave some to Kuroi Misato. Gojo Satoru reminded her in a friendly way: "Remember to rub it for a full five minutes, otherwise he will make a fuss."

The consequences of the "nurse"'s outburst are horrific, and this resort hotel may not be able to handle it.

Amanouchi Riko & Kuroi Misato: "..."

I don’t really understand you high school boys.

As they were washing their hands carefully, Kagome suddenly remembered something and asked in the team channel, "By the way, does the hygiene condition of this hotel meet Al's standards? He didn't even disinfect the hotel room with grenades yesterday."

Al replied calmly, "You don't have to be so particular about your temporary residence."

He said tolerantly: "Although I really want to remind the hotel owner to improve the hygiene standards here, but, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Xia Yujie: “…”

Then why don’t you just stop staring at us and tell us to wash our hands ten times a day!

After washing their hands, they began to enjoy breakfast at the resort hotel. Tenuchi Riko looked very happy and carefree, but Kuroi Misato, who was taking care of her, seemed to be worried.

She is probably the person in the world who cares most about Riko Amauchi.

After the four of them finished their breakfast, Tenuchi Riko touched her stomach and said with emotion, "I feel so full!"

As expected of Okinawa Beach, everything you eat is doubly delicious!

Gojo Satoru said lazily, "I'm telling you, Riko-chan."

Tenuchi Riko immediately had an expression of "Why are you pretending to be so familiar?" She made a fisting gesture and said vigilantly: "What do you want to do? You call me so affectionately, there must be some conspiracy, right? Do you want to borrow money from me?"

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Gojo Satoru propped up his chin and said, "Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't care about the dead's inheritance. It's just that someone told me that it's less likely to scare the children this way."

Kagome Xiayou nodded with a smile.

kid……

Tenuchi Riko shook off her goosebumps and said, "Just say what you want to say. Are you leaving for the technical secondary school?"

Gojo Satoru said, "That depends on your own opinion."

Tenuchi Riko was stunned.

"What do I mean?"

"Wait." Al reminded them kindly: "Set up a 'tent'."

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru then remembered that this was the hotel's restaurant, and there were several other tables filled with people besides them.

They are now in the second year of high school, but their habit of always forgetting to set up the "tent" has not changed at all.

"Born from darkness, from darkness to darkness, filth and impurity are all cleansed away."

Following Getsu's voice, a pitch-black mini "tent" fell from above their heads and quickly enveloped their table.

The main function of this "tent" is to isolate the sound and make people outside subconsciously ignore this place.

Tenuchi Riko poked the "account".

As a star plasma body, she is of course also a sorcerer, but the only sorcerer she usually comes into contact with is Kuroi Misato, and this is the first time she has observed the so-called "account" at such a close distance.

Is this... the power of Lord Tianyuan?

Both Amanouchi Riko and Kuroi Misato realized that the following conversation might be beyond their imagination.

"No, wait." Gojo Satoru suddenly said, "Jie, the 'account' is Tengen's thing, right? If we talk here, will it be aware of it?"

Xia Yujie: “…”

Xia Yujie: "What should we do? Let's go back to the room and talk?"

Al thought for a moment and said, "Jie Jun, don't "Incarnation of Tamamonomae" and "Incarnation of Kaguya-hime" have their own birth domains? Why don't we talk about it in the birth domains?"

Xia Yujie paused and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I can't use the curse spirit's life domain yet."

Gojo Satoru commented, "You're a jerk."

Xia Yujie: “…”

“…”

Everyone looked at each other, then decisively moved to the rooms of Gojo Satoru and Kagome Ken.

After returning to the room, the cursed spirit with long light-colored hair showed up, picked up the mop in the corner of the room naturally, and started mopping the floor of the hotel room, with a look of "you guys talk your own way" on his face.

If he hadn't been keeping an eye on Amauchi Riko yesterday, he would have wanted to do this a long time ago!

Everyone: “…”

They all had strange expressions on their faces, and then tacitly turned their attention to the previous conversation.

Gojo Satoru said to Tenuchi Riko: "Riko, tell me the truth, do you really want to assimilate with that old guy Tengen?"

“…”

Riko Amauchi's subordinates consciously grabbed their clothes.

Kuroi Misato looked at her worriedly and said, "Mr. Gojo, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Isn't it obvious?"

Gojo Satoru tilted his head and smiled, "What we mean is, if Riko-chan really wants to assimilate with Tengen, then we should take a plane back to the high school now. If not, then we won't go back to the high school."

Kuroi Misato: “!!!”

Tenuchi Riko's eyes widened in shock. "What did you say?"

Gojo Satoru complained: "He's already hard of hearing at such a young age, it's incredible..."

"Hey!" Tenuchi Riko said in disbelief, "Explain it to me quickly!"

Xia Yujie sighed and continued gently: "What we mean is that if you refuse to assimilate with Tianyuan, we will also give up the mission assigned to us by the High Commissioner."

“…”

Tenuchi Riko's breathing became rapid. She opened her mouth and hesitated several times before she said in a hoarse voice, "Really?"

Xia Yujie nodded gently, "Really."

Tenuchi Riko bit her lip and remained silent for a while before asking, "What happens after you refuse to assimilate?"

Geto Summer Oil shrugged: "After refusing assimilation... we will probably start to go against the entire magic world, right?"

Other guys who have nothing to do with the issue might not care, but those idiots at the top will definitely go crazy.

Gojo Satoru turned around and asked Kagome Jie with a smile: "Isn't this good? What is this called? Defection? Dropping out of school?"

"Hahahahahaha, both of them, maybe we'll start being cursers tomorrow."

Under the incredulous gazes of Tenuchi Riko and Kuroi Misato, the two male high school students looked extremely relaxed.

The Heroic Spirit at the side was even more relaxed. He walked over calmly and said calmly, "Lift your feet."

Amanouchi Riko & Kuroi Misato: "..."

They silently lifted their feet and watched Alto clean the ground under their feet. Then they heard Gojo Satoru say excitedly, "Isn't that exciting? If you go from a special grade sorcerer to a special grade curser - ha, that's amazing. There are only three special grades in Japan, and now two of them have become cursers. The blood pressure of the rotten oranges must be soaring."

While mopping the floor, Al solemnly reminded them, "Wu Jun, Jie Jun, if you really want to defect, we still have one day to prepare for it."

Xia Yujie was stunned and asked in surprise, "Preparation for defection?"

Al said seriously: "Well, after we defect, our original bank accounts will most likely be frozen by the top management, so you should transfer all your savings to other accounts before that."

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Xia Yujie: “…”

What is foresight? This is foresight!

Al continued to ponder, "After that, there may be pursuers, so it is necessary to disguise yourself appropriately. If possible, you should go to the black market to get a new identity for yourself to facilitate future activities."

“…”

Why is this nurse so skilled?

Gojo Satoru's eyes lit up and he agreed, "That's right. Although I'm not afraid of being pursued, if you want to defect, you should act like a defector and follow all the necessary procedures."

Xia Yujie said helplessly: "I say, Wu, do you think we are playing house?"

"Wait, wait!" Amauchi Riko was shocked. "Are you guys... serious?"

The male high school students turned to look at her at the same time and nodded calmly.

Tenuchi Riko suppressed her rapidly accelerating heartbeat and asked in confusion, "Why? You...are all powerful sorcerers, right? You all have great futures, so why would you do this for me? If you help me, those people will never let you go, right?"

They were just strangers who had known each other for one day.

They were clearly just a sacrifice and a guard.

But...but...she knew they must be serious.

Xia Yujie pursed his face and said, "Well, of course your future is important, but if we send you to death like this, we will have nightmares for the rest of our lives."

Gojo Satoru was stunned. "Huh? Really? I can't do that."

Xia Yujie: “…”

Al said calmly, "Neither can I, Jake."

Xia Yujie: “…”

What? What? Are you looking for trouble?

The veins on Xia Yujie's forehead jumped, and he said sinisterly, "You want to fight?"

Seeing that Xiayou Jie looked like he was about to get angry, Al turned to Gojo Satoru and said, "Satoru, don't say such embarrassing things when others are showing off. Jie will be embarrassed."

Xia Yujie: “…”

You have no right to say that about Gojo Satoru! And, in fact, he didn't feel embarrassed at first, but after Al said that, he instantly felt very embarrassed.

——As expected, the core of Al is still Al.

Seeing that he remained silent, Al took the initiative to comfort him: "It's okay, Jie Jun, don't feel embarrassed."

Xia Yujie pressed his forehead and said, "...No, I'm not embarrassed. I'm just suppressing the urge to beat up my teammates."

Under the nervous and hopeful gazes of Tenuchi Riko and Kuroi Misato, Geto Suguru cleared his throat and concluded: "In short, sister Riko, just make a decision according to your heart. No matter what choice you make, we will do our best to protect your future."

Gojo Satoru shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's right, Tengen has lived long enough. He is old enough, so he should stop worrying about the fate of the magic world. The more parents are reluctant to let go, the less promising their children will be. He has lived for so many years, it is impossible that he doesn't understand this."

…

Fushiguro Shiori ran into some trouble.

He was haunted by a ghost.

As a "heaven and cursed" from the Yusan family, it would be ridiculous to say that he was haunted by a ghost, but in fact, he was indeed haunted by a female ghost.

When I first met her, the female ghost was wearing a suspicious witch costume, with her hands clasped together, a red bell cruelly pierced through her palms, and her eyes were as big as a character in a two-dimensional animation.

...Really, the black eyes take up half of the face, and the horror effect is directly maximized. If it were put in an animation, it might make people exclaim how cute it is, but in reality——

Fushiguro Shigeki calmly put down his phone, picked up the cursed tool beside him and exorcised it.

After thinking about it, he felt that this strange "female ghost" should be related to the posts in the curser forum. The witch costume, big eyes, red rope, bells, all the features matched.

Fushiguro even found it very interesting.

He went onto the forum again and tried to chat with the people who had replied to the posts, but all the messages he sent fell on deaf ears.

“…”

Fushiguro Shiori pondered for a while and decided to put this matter behind him for the time being. The most important thing now was to gather his strength and complete this transaction with the Bandei Cult.

Unexpectedly, the female ghost appeared at his bedside again in the middle of the night.

It was wearing a red and white shrine maiden's costume, standing upright in front of the bed, its pair of pitch-black eyes staring at him quietly in the darkness. If Fushiguro Shinji hadn't woken up in time, the female ghost would have almost stuck to his face.

“…”

He stabbed the ghost girl's throat with a knife.

After that, the female ghost began to appear around him once an hour, in the bedroom, kitchen, corridor, balcony, and even in the reception room and racecourse of the Panxing Cult. Not only did it follow him everywhere, but every time it appeared, it would change its clothes, such as witch costume, miko costume, classic shrine clothes, JK school uniform, maid costume, beach swimsuit...

When the female ghost appeared in the toilet wearing a bikini and made eye contact with Fushiguro Shinjiro who was squatting in the toilet, Fushiguro Shinjiro finally broke down a little.

What is this curse all about?

No matter how many times he exorcised it, it would reappear before him an hour later as if nothing had happened. And he couldn't just leave it alone. Fushiguro even found that as long as his eyes were not fixed on the female ghost, she would quickly approach him. Once she even stretched out her hand in front of him, but he broke her arm and dismembered her body on the spot.

An hour later, the female ghost resurrected with full blood as if nothing had happened.

Fushiguro Shiji: “…”

Damn it.

After a sleepless night, Fushiguro Shigeki went to the Curse Master forum and posted a message.

"Who knows what kind of cursed spirit would keep changing clothes? It looks like a female."

Of course, cursed spirits have no gender, so they just look like women.

The few replies I received this morning were all useless responses such as "I don't know", "I've never heard of it", and "Does this curse really exist?"

It was not until ten o'clock in the morning that Fushiguro Shige was forced to have a belated breakfast with the female ghost wearing a modified version of the kimono, and a message popped up on his phone again.

——I don't know about the cursed spirits who changed clothes, but I know there are cursed spirits who were forced to change clothes. Do you know the cursed spirit operator? The one who was promoted to a special level a while ago. I heard that he has a habit of playing dress-up play with his cursed spirits.

Fushiguro Shiji: “…”

What a coincidence, didn’t he recently offend a cursed spirit operator?

Fushiguro Shinobu pursed his face thoughtfully.

There is no such coincidence in the world. This female ghost is most likely sent by the Curse Spirit Operator. But what is going on? Could it be that the ghosts in the academy already know of his existence? Is this female ghost sent by the ghosts in the academy to deal with him?

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. If they really knew his existence and address, they should have killed him the first time instead of just sending a level one female ghost to disturb his sleep. This is more in line with Gojo Satoru's style.

——Yes, Fushiguro Shiori knows a lot about Gojo Satoru.

Although Gojo Satoru didn't know him, he thought he knew Gojo Satoru quite well.

The real purpose of letting other cursers to trouble Tenuchi Riko continuously is to consume Gojo Satoru's energy and strength. In this way, when he really takes action, Gojo Satoru's condition is no longer the best to deal with the enemy.

As for the other curse spirit operator, Fushiguro Shigeki never took him seriously. He was a guy whose strength was always limited by the level of the curse spirit, so he was not to be feared.

But what he never expected was that he was the one who was harassed and unable to sleep.

“…”

Fushiguro Shier stared at the female ghost in front of him for a long time, and finally asked: "I say, you are not the curse, right?"

An immortal cursed spirit that exists almost exclusively in legends.

Because of its seemingly indestructible trait, the number of cursed spirits is extremely small, and its abilities are severely restricted, so it cannot kill humans at will like other cursed spirits.

When did I trigger the curse of the grudge?

That...post?

…

Gojo Satoru, who should have become increasingly exhausted due to the harassment of the cursers, was now very lively.

He was sleeping when his best friend got up in the middle of the night to change Shirai's clothes.

He was sleeping when his best friend got up early to go to the store to buy burial clothes.

While his best friend was helping Shirai put on the newly bought maid outfit, he slowly walked to the hotel restaurant, waved his hand, and ordered a bunch of delicious food.

Anyway, Amanouchi Riko has Al guarding her closely, and the mastermind, Geto Suguru, has also started to retaliate, so all he has to do is to get rid of the curser who is so foolish as to cause trouble.

However, after they repelled wave after wave of cursers, the number of cursers who continued to come and cause trouble gradually decreased.

Xia Yujie took Al's advice into consideration and said, "Since we have decided to defect, there are two things we need to do next. One is to prepare for defection, and the other is to plan a route."

No one knows yet that they are planning to defect, so now is the best time to prepare.

"Considering the issue of bank accounts being frozen, the first thing we have to do now is to transfer the deposits, but the question is, where to transfer them?"

Al volunteered, "I can go to the black market and make new identities and bank cards for you."

Xia Yujie was shocked: "Black market? What are you going to do?"

Aldao: "Give me the Curse Master's cell phone and bank card."

Xia Yujie looked at Gojo Satoru. Gojo Satoru paused for a moment and then remembered that the cell phones of the two cursers of "Q" were with him. He threw one to Al and took out his own bank card.

"Is this enough?"

"Yes." Al said, "Leave it to me. I have experience."

As for the black market, although he couldn't say that he was very familiar with it, he was still relatively familiar with it. Although this world was not his original world, things like the gray area were basically the same.

Al took the things and set off alone in a mysterious manner. During this time, Geto Suguru and Misato Kuroi went to a clothing store and bought some clothes.

A uniformed hero, two high school boys, a junior high school girl, and a maid... Their attire is so recognizable that it was fine when I didn't want to avoid the fight before, but it's better to change it now.

"Have you chosen yet?"

Kuroi Misato nodded: "Almost done. I also bought a backpack for the lady."

She showed off the white rabbit backpack, and Xia Yujie couldn't help but say, "It suits her very well."

Kuroi Misato smiled bitterly, "I really didn't expect things to turn out like this, but... Miss has a chance to survive, I'm happy, I hope everything goes well."

Xia Yujie asked him, "You come from a family of sorcerers, right? Is it okay for you to defect with us?"

Kuroi Misato shook her head, "You are right, I am the only family the young lady has."

Her eyes were full of confusion about the future, but her tone was firm.

"She has been growing up as a star plasma body since she was a child, and has always lived in anxiety, having to sacrifice herself at any time. I also hope that she can live a normal life... You are the first person to lend a helping hand to her. I want to seize this opportunity to help the young lady escape her fate."

“…”

"It's all so unfair to her."

Xia Yujie's eyes were gentle and his tone was firm: "Don't worry, sister Riko will definitely have a bright future."

"...Yes, of course!"

Two hours later, Alshun solved his identity problem and returned triumphantly with new bank cards and phone cards. They withdrew all their savings and deposited them into the cards at another place. Finally, several people changed their clothes, completely gave up the idea of ​​returning to the Polytechnic, and headed in the completely opposite direction.

Al said, "We will take the bus and rent a car to go into the mountains after arriving in Aomori Prefecture. We will try not to leave any residual cursed power on the way. The safety of Tenuchi Riko is the most important thing."

He distributed a mask to each person.

"Put it on."

Tenuchi Riko's eyes sparkled: "Is this also a costume prop?"

Al shook his head: "No."

He was the first to put on a mask and explained, "There are many people on the bus. Wearing a mask can effectively prevent the spread of droplets. I plan to give one to everyone on the bus after I get on."

Everyone: “…”

Hey, don't do something so conspicuous while you're on the run!

At this time, there are only 21 hours left before Tianyuan assimilates with the star plasma.
