Chapter 133 The Second Player
Well... the ending of that day and that incident seemed to be that Gojo Satoru dragged him away. Hanayamain Haruna was very angry, but there was nothing she could do. Of course, Saikai Haruto still went to find her to compensate her and apologize.
It's no wonder that there have been several posts on the forum recently joking about whether “the manga has changed from a passionate fighting series to a romantic comedy series”. In fact, the content of this episode has almost nothing to do with fighting, and most of it is just a few people's arguments.
Xihai Qingdou's eyes wandered.
It's not like they don't have missions and classes, right? It's just that classes are boring, and missions are always solved a little too quickly, but they have exorcised quite a few cursed spirits in the past few months… They are still doing real work, it's just that it's not shown in the comics.
So it's not his fault—it's all the manga's fault.
Saikai Haruto nodded affirmatively.
The only pity is that the person he wants to find - Fushiguro Shiji, has not appeared in the comics yet, so he can't find him even if he wants to.
Although he might not be difficult to find - after all, that guy's nickname was "Magic Killer", and he was quite famous. Money allowed him to do many things, so naturally he could be found.
But "Igarashi Yuuki" is just an ordinary, innocent student at Jujutsu High School. There is no reason for him to be related to the "magician killer". Moreover, Fushiguro wants money, which is what he lacks the most. Not to mention asking him to give money to others, forget it!
——Although Geto and the others didn't lie to him, being a sorcerer did pay well, but the bad luck debuff on “Igarashi Yuuki” was too strong. Every time he made money, it would slip away from him again for various reasons, and he couldn't stop it…
In short, Xi Haiqing Dou is now just maintaining a balance in an infinite cycle of "make money - lose money - make money - lose money - make money". He has money but no money, and can only barely maintain a well-fed life.
You want him to give money to Fushiguro Shiori just like that? Haha, you are dreaming.
At worst, he could just... try his luck with Hanayamain Haruna.
Anyway, the players will definitely not be unhappy about it.
As for Gojo Satoru not allow it... then he will just do it secretly. At worst he can just apologize after the incident - I'm sorry, but I'll do it again next time.
We are all friends anyway, who would have any bad intentions?
Time passed slowly and it was the end of July.
If it were any other normal high school, such as De Ming High School where Yuuki Igarashi had studied before, they would normally have a normal summer vacation of more than a month at this time, and would not go back to school until September.
However, for the Jujutsu High School, this is impossible.
The weather is hot during the summer vacation, and people are more likely to have more negative emotions, which is naturally the time when the number of curses increases dramatically.
As sorcerers, this period is naturally their busiest time - let alone long holidays, they may not even have normal weekends, 996 and 007 are the norm.
In the evening, a crescent moon hung quietly in the dark blue night sky. Four young men in black uniforms pushed open the door of a dessert shop that was about to close.
"Ah, I'm so tired... Is it finally over? No more tasks for today, right?"
A weak sound came out of his mouth, and Xi Haiqingdou lay on the table half dead, rubbing his face against the glass filled with ice water in his hand.
He looked up at Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru who were sitting opposite him, and then glanced at Ieiri Naoko who was sitting next to him. His green eyes had lost their seemingly infinite vitality and brightness. His eyes were empty, and there were obvious dark circles under his eyes. He looked as wilted as a leaf of grass that had been sunburned by the sun.
"What time is it?" he asked.
Gojo Satoru lazily leaned on the back of the chair, with his long legs spread out to fill the entire space under the table. His sitting posture was as uninhibited as usual. Although he looked a little listless, he was full of energy compared to Saikai Haruto.
He sent a mocking message to Saikai Haruto: "It's only eight o'clock, Yuuki, are you not good enough? We agreed to stay upright outside and not stagger around, why are you not good enough so soon?"
Although everyone in Jujutsu High School is usually laughing and joking, and can do all kinds of naughty and rule-breaking things, but once they go out, Saikai Haruto and Geto Gaguru always pretend to be "good boys", sitting more upright than the other. Gojo Satoru is not convinced - he is used to being free, and of course he understands those "messy" etiquette rules, but he is too lazy to follow them.
This was the first time he saw Saikai Haruto collapse and lie on the table in a store like he did today.
"Anyway, there's no one here. Didn't you always say there's no need to go through so much trouble?"
Xi Hai Qing Dou rolled his eyes at him unhappily: "Yes, yes, you have rested for so long, of course you are not tired, but I have been on a mission for three or four days in a row, it is not easy to hold on until now, okay?"
There have been more and more curses recently, and there are only so many sorcerers in the world of curse. Not to mention first-level sorcerers, even special-level sorcerers have to run around doing tasks - no, that's not right, special-level sorcerers are even busier than first-level ones - isn't that what they call "the more capable you are, the more work you do"?
"Huh? Why do you have so many missions, Yuuki?"
Gojo Satoru straightened his posture a little, narrowed his eyes, and showed a little doubt on his face: "Something seems a little wrong? Jie and I don't have that many tasks. Where is Naoko?"
He turned his head slightly to look at Geto and Nakano for agreement. Geto slightly slightly, frowning slightly: "I have been very busy these past two days, but not to the point where I have been on missions for three or four days in a row... Yuki, do you have so many missions?"
Ieiri Naoko: "Yeah, even I had a break yesterday... Yuuki, have you not had any break these past few days?"
Ieiri Shoko is one of the rare sorcerers who can reverse the technique to not only heal herself, but also others. She can probably be said to be one of the very few rare nurses in the current sorcery world. Even though she is not a top-grade sorcerer like Gojo Satoru and others, she is also very busy - sometimes, Ieiri Shoko is even busier than them.
But even if everyone is busy, there are still only a few who are as busy as Saikai Haruto who "works non-stop for three days". But there are so many missions, and their abilities are very strong - there are only a few special-level ones in the world of sorcery, and they can be counted on one hand, and as a result, there are three of them in the Jujutsu High School. Even special-level cursed spirits can be exorcised by one person, and there are not many missions that require all of them to go out together to complete.
In order to exorcise the cursed spirits as efficiently as possible, they naturally had to carry out their tasks separately. They rarely even got together, and only saw each other once or twice a day, morning and evening. If someone was "on a business trip" to another city to exorcise the cursed spirits, it was normal not to see each other for a day or two. In this way, it was naturally difficult for everyone to know the situation of others. so many tasks accumulated?
You have to know that he is "Heaven and Curse Bound". Let's not talk about the cursed power, but his physical strength is naturally far superior to others. On weekdays, he is the only one who is sleepy, so how can he be tired? Even if he is fighting with Gojo Satoru and Geto, and both of them are tired, "Igarashi Yuuki" is not necessarily tired.
Being so tired as today that you want to collapse and fall asleep, or feeling so listless that you don't even want to move, is truly rare among the rare, and it is extremely rare.
Gojo Satoru's expression suddenly became serious: "Hey, Yuuki, are those idiots from the Directors' Council causing you trouble?"
Countless conspiracy theories emerged in his mind. Gojo Satoru thought for a long time and suddenly said to himself: "But that's not right. You are the one who forgets to set up the account the least among the three of us. It doesn't make sense, right?"
"Ah, this..."
Xi Haiqingdou lay on the table, looking up and blinking, then slowly raised one arm and smiled: "Satoru, don't think too much. Well, actually, I took those missions myself..."
He muttered quietly: "I didn't expect those tasks to be so troublesome. Tsk, I was almost exhausted to death."
-Yes, the "culprit" who caused him to work as 007 for four consecutive days and almost exhausted himself to death was actually himself. There was no other "conspiracy" at all.
"Huh?"
Gojo Satoru's sunglasses fell down from his nose: "Did you catch it yourself?"
Xia Yujie's mouth twitched: "Are you crazy again?"
——The word "again" simply expresses the sophistication and bitterness.
Ieiri Naoko asked bluntly: "Yuuki, how is your brain?"
"I just wanted to use my free time to take a full day off... I thought that with my physical condition, there wouldn't be any problems, and the missions weren't that difficult."
Xi Haiqing Dou said weakly, "I didn't expect those missions to be so troublesome... and I'm so unlucky."
He had great difficulty in saying the last few words.
Originally, he planned to take on all the tasks at once, take a few full days off, and test his physical limits.
It was a pity that he overestimated himself. In fact, the mission itself was not difficult, but very, very troublesome and time-consuming. Working on the mission for more than ten or twenty hours a day without sleep was difficult for even the "Heaven and Curse" to bear.
In addition, he has a "survival in desperate situations" buff that makes people worry. It can create difficulties for him even if there is no difficulty. A task that could be completed in ten minutes can be delayed to half an hour because of an accident. Fortunately, although there was an accident and the time was prolonged, he still completed the task successfully without any mistakes.
Now, he has completed all the tasks and can rest, but the tasks have been taken away by him, and no matter how many cursed spirits there are, they will not be endless forever. Others are also relieved... Everyone can take a short "rest".
——In other words, a world where he was the only one hurt was created.
"Hahahahahahaha, I thought you would have gotten used to your luck, Yuuki?"
Gojo Satoru was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "I am dying of laughter, you guys, you didn't take dozens of missions in a row, did you? I was wondering why there are so many fewer missions in Tokyo all of a sudden, now everyone can rest... So you are doing good things? Are you some kind of saint? So how long can you rest?"
"Yuuki, you..." Xia Yujie's expression was also very difficult to describe. He opened his mouth and said, "...There's no need to fight so hard, right?"
"You did a good thing, Yuuki."
With a smile in her eyes, Ieiri Naoko praised him generously: "Ah, this is a rare time when I agree with Gojo."
"Three days—just one more day this weekend."
Xi Hai Qing Dou rolled his eyes.
"I never thought I would be so unlucky. When I encountered a cursed spirit, it was like poking a den of cursed spirits, bringing out a series of cursed spirits at once..."
Xi Hai Qing Dou was speechless: "Who knows what's going on with those cursed spirits? They all got together with their brains and almost made me fall over. When and where did the cursed spirits get this habit of gathering together?"
"You didn't flip over, did you?"
Xia Yujie smiled with a sad face: "You always say that, but every time it's fine. Although the cursed spirits don't have the habit of gathering together, it's not a matter of one or two days for them to change their habits and break through themselves for you, Yuxi. I thought you should have gotten used to it, Yuxi."
Although he said this, Xi Haiqing Dou could see clearly that there was a sly, gloating smile in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was not serious about comforting him.
——This guy is clearly mocking me, right?
Xi Haiqingdou was so angry that his teeth were itching - if he wasn't really exhausted, he would have crawled up and had a good "fun" with Xia Youjie. Unfortunately, now he only had the energy to roll his eyes at him.
Ieiri Naoko couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Kayou you..."
Xia Yujie blinked his eyes and said innocently: "What's wrong? Was I wrong?"
——For some reason, the expression on his face seemed strangely familiar to Xi Haiqing Dou...but for a moment he couldn't figure out what it was about.
"No no no, Jay, you are absolutely right!"
Gojo Satoru couldn't help laughing: "Yuuki has been welcomed by the curse spirits. The second-level curse spirits have evolved into first-level ones, and the first-level ones have suddenly evolved into special-level ones on the spot. There are also curse spirits that have been picked out from nowhere... They have been keeping an eye on Yuuki, hoping that he can break through himself and change his curse spirit habits!"
"But I'm not the one saying this, Jay. Hahahaha, you're imitating Yuuki too much, aren't you? No, no, are you two looking in the mirror? Hahahaha!"
Gojo Satoru pounded the table and laughed until tears were about to come out - the expression on Geto Suguru's face now was exactly the same as the expression on Igarashi Yuki's face at ordinary times, especially when the real person was beside them. Although the two people looked nothing alike, their expressions and demeanor were as if they were printed from the same mold, which was extremely funny to Gojo Satoru.
"Satoru, please don't slander me." Xia Yujie's expression became even more innocent: "How did I learn from Yuki?"
Now not only the facial expressions but even the tone of voice has been learned perfectly.
…I remember now, this guy is taking revenge on him for copying him last time? But that was almost a week ago, right? Isn’t this guy, Geto Suguru, too vindictive and vindictive? !
Not knowing where the strength came from, Xi Haiqing Dou suddenly raised her head and bumped into Geto Gayu. "Hey, hey, hey, Geto, you're too good at holding a grudge, aren't you? Or maybe you like me so much that you can imitate me so well... Wow, so touching!"
"Hey, stay away from me!"
Xia Yujie's expression changed instantly, and he pushed Xi Haiqingdou back with a slap in disgust: "I am a straight man."
Xi Haiqingdou lay back on the chair like a tumbler and sneered: "Jie, you are a gay meeting a gay! I am also a straight man, what's wrong with being a straight man? Can't I lean on you for a bit?"
Ieiri Naoko rolled her eyes and sat aside: "Hey, gays, stay away from me!"
Xi Haiqingdou screamed: "Wow, Xiaozi, you don't believe me——"
"Oh, if only Haruna were here too, she would definitely believe in my innocence." He sighed sincerely.
"Haruna will have to wait until tomorrow to come back, right?"
Xia Yujie smoothly continued the topic: "She told me this morning that if everything goes well, she might be able to come back tomorrow."
Hanayamain Haruna is not like Gojo Satoru, who comes to Jujutsu High School and wanders around freely, returning to the Gojo family whenever she wants. She still has to return to the Zenin family and Kasuga Shrine regularly - after all, she is still the "goddess" of the Zenin family and the shrine maiden of Kasuga Shrine, with a professional title.
She had gone back to Kyoto for some business in the last few days, so she wasn't with them now.
"Is this true?" Gojo Satoru almost jumped up from his chair and smacked his lips. "Ah, the few days when Haruna was away went by so fast, didn't they? How come she came back so soon?"
It seems quite regrettable.
"Hey, hey, hey, Gojo, Haruna didn't do anything to you, did you? Do you dislike her that much?"
Ieiri Naoko was simply disgusted: "You are Haruna's fiancé... You don't even know when Haruna will come back. This is really infuriating."
"Huh? I don't care about her, why should I care when she leaves and comes back?"
Gojo Satoru didn't care: "Anyway, this engagement is not what I want. It's Haruna who doesn't want to break it off now. She said she wants to wait until she's 18 years old to break it off."
"Satoru doesn't dislike Haruna, he just feels uncomfortable around her."
Saikai Haruto came to Gojo Satoru's rescue. Fortunately, after these few months, everyone has adapted to Gojo Satoru's awkward attitude towards Hanayamain Haruna. Even Hanayamain Haruna herself didn't say anything and didn't seem to care, so it was even harder for them to say anything.
"But will Haruna be able to come back tomorrow?"
He stroked his chin, thinking: "Come to think of it, I thought she would come back the day after tomorrow? Has she already resolved the matter?"
"Hey, Yuuki, you're not going to go out with Haruna behind my back again, are you?"
Gojo Satoru glanced over with an extremely alert look, like a domineering cat protecting its food: "I don't agree!"
"Eh? But I've already promised Haruna-san that I'll host a party for her the day after tomorrow."
Saikai Haruto blinked innocently: "It just so happens that it's my turn to rest the day after tomorrow... so I'm sorry, Satoru. I'll definitely do it next time."
Ieiri Naoko teased, "I say, Yuuki, you are not going to work so hard these days to take on tasks and free up your vacation time just because you have a date with Haruna the day after tomorrow, right?"
"Huh? Anyway, I don't agree! I can't agree to this!"
Gojo Satoru's eyes were almost rolled up to the sky. Ieiri Naoko inexplicably felt that his tone was just like a wife questioning her husband who was cheating on her - she shook off goosebumps and quickly threw this strange idea out of the black hole of her mind.
However, Gojo Satoru knew that his protest was probably useless. Saikai Haruto had already agreed and made up his mind, and he would never regret it. So he asked again, "Where did you meet and what did you do?"
"Eh, 'date'? I like this word." Sai Hai Haruto smiled brightly, "But the location was decided by Haruna-san, and she said she couldn't tell me in advance... But it won't be dangerous anyway."
"But I didn't take the holiday because of Haruna, but because I have to work part-time. The day after tomorrow I can take a day off to work part-time and earn some money."
Xi Haiqingdou counted on his fingers: "If I don't go again, my boss might fire me."
Gojo Satoru, Kagome Kyo, and Ieiri Nozomi immediately looked at him with sympathy when they heard this.
"Igarashi Yuuki is either short of money or on the way to being short of money." This is something that many people know in the Jujutsu High School - no, even in the Jujutsu world.
The money earned will inevitably be lost within a week due to various reasons. In short, this guy will never have much money.
So even though he said at first that he had given up his "part-time job," within a month Nishimi Haruto resumed his daily routine of working part-time whenever he had time.
Even though Gojo Satoru was unconvinced and often gave him money and tried to tie him up every day to observe how he "lost money", he had to admit under the influence of Saikai Haruto's bad luck buff and admit that "Igarashi Yuki" had millions of strange and bizarre ways to "lose money".
But you can confidently borrow money from him - after all, this guy makes money by exorcising cursed spirits very quickly.
"That Hanayamain Haruna guy is so mysterious...Is he trying to get you to do something bad?"
Gojo Satoru rolled his eyes and smiled slyly: "Hey, Yuuki, since Haruna is coming back tomorrow, anyway, Gon, Nazo and I can all have a day off tomorrow, how about letting Haruna move up the time she made with you to tomorrow, and we can all go on a date together tomorrow?"
