Chapter 165: High Curse [Bond] +1
"……snort."
As if hearing some silly words that made people laugh, the Curse King, who was leaning casually on the white skeleton, sneered in a way that was neither happy nor angry, but it was undoubtedly malicious.
The scarlet pupils glanced around casually, and everyone present felt the tangible pressure weighing heavily on their hearts.
The player's eyes lingered on the other person's unusual facial features and the eye-catching symmetrical patterns on his face, sizing him up curiously.
When he raised his arms, the wide cuffs of his kimono naturally slipped down, revealing his sturdy forearms, which also had symmetrical pure black lines on them.
Cool...
If I'm not mistaken, he's also wearing an earphone amplifier?
But, the meaning of that gesture is...
A brief moment of doubt flashed through the player's mind. Gojo Satoru, who was closest to her in her peripheral vision, quickly stood up and ran towards the player in two steps.
The second after Gojo Satoru grabbed his hand without controlling the strength, a strong airflow swept silently, and the player's hair that was scattered on his shoulders was lifted back.
"..." A straight line appeared on the wall behind him, neatly cutting it in half, splitting the entire building in two as well, and it collapsed as he watched.
The Warlock Killer, who delighted in seeing the sorcerers' troubles, mouthed "Ooooh" as if enjoying the show. "I wonder how much the news of Ryomen Sukuna's appearance would fetch on the black market."
"Hey, so it's not the cowherd's?"
Geto Xia Yu blocked the other person's gaze towards the player and calmly met the eyes slightly obscured by his hair. "Are you sure you don't want to leave?"
"...An inexplicable protective urge is typical of immature brats." He sneered at Geto Suguru's pretentiousness. Before leaving, despite the wary glances from everyone at the high school, who were wary of a sudden comeback, he suddenly curled his lips at the player, "What I just said in the domain wasn't entirely casual."
"?" The players gradually became confused.
Which sentence?
Xia Yujie wore a compassionate smile like the Buddha, but his words were completely different and sharp: "It's just the bad nature of men."
Maybe it means that players don’t need to care?
"Eh—so you're unwilling to give up," Gojo Satoru exclaimed. "Besides, married men shouldn't say ambiguous things to innocent girls."
"Married?" The player looked around but saw nothing, so Gojo Satoru reminded him, "Look at his hands."
Oh oh!
It turned out to be abstinence marks!
You noticed such subtle details, amazing...
Gojo Satoru proudly pulled down his sunglasses, raised the corners of his mouth, and felt the players' astonished gazes.
Players aren't the only ones who think this way.
"A six-eyed creature worth 100 million is indeed troublesome..."
The man didn't feel guilty at all, as he should have after being exposed. Instead, he was thinking about something. He showed his hand and asked the player, "Do you care if I'm married?"
"This is a sign of a woman's presence. If you're really bothered by it, you can give me a new ring to cover it up." He admitted it openly, and took the opportunity to hint at a 'chance'. "But... it has to be full of diamonds."
It was really... so bad it felt frankly terrible. The player stared at the figure's back in a daze.
"If you trust this kind of scumbag, you will definitely be cheated and become a penniless homeless man!" The moment the other party's figure left his sight, Gojo Satoru put his hands on the player's shoulders and shook him wildly.
"Satoru, Fushimi probably doesn't have that idea." Geto Xia Yu stopped his colleague's behavior, then thought of something else and nodded in affirmation, "That block for my junior just now was very timely."
"...No," Gojo Satoru's tone became strange. He turned his head inexplicably and said to Geto Suguru, "I didn't block that slash."
Attacks in the field are guaranteed to hit.
"On the contrary, maybe this time I benefited from the help of my junior." Gojo Satoru looked at the player thoughtfully.
Fushimi Kyoji picked up the dry finger that fell on the ground. The remaining figure of Ryomen Sukuna disappeared after the slash and turned into a cursed object again.
【Psychic】+15!
"* [Favorability Event]: Triggers the [Bond] effect, slightly increasing the favorability of the capture target..."
[Channel]: Your connection with the spirits deepens!
The moment the cursed object came into contact, a red light flashed on Ryomen Sukuna's fingers, and the player noticed that the same red mark appeared on his wrist at the same time.
——Like the thread that was cut by Ryomen Sukuna not long ago.
"Hmm..." As soon as she turned her head, she saw Gojo Satoru holding his chin and studying the player's face. Seeing her looking at him, he replied in the affirmative, "That's right!"
"You are—cursed!" he declared.
The players cooperated with each other and made an unbelievable long sound: "Hey——"
"Perhaps the binding had a higher priority than that special-grade cursed spirit, so the curse it cast on you and Ryoumen Sukuna remained." Gojo Satoru roughly analyzed the situation. "Ryoumen Sukuna probably didn't expect this to happen!"
"It's unlikely we'll be able to hide this kind of commotion from Window. The higher-ups will probably find out soon." Gojo Satoru stretched his body into a long, thin line and spoke casually in a tone that hardly aroused any nerves. "Then I might be called in for questioning, just to go through the motions."
Nanami Kento said calmly, "If you are associated with the Curse King, you will most likely be secretly sentenced to death by the higher-ups."
Haibara Xiong unconsciously let out a surprised sound.
"That won't happen."
Gojo Satoru's frivolous tone made Nanami Kento unable to trust him. He wanted to say something, but ended up keeping silent.
The player's vision lowered, and someone held down the top of her hair. A pair of narrowed blue eyes looked at her with a smile: "I won't allow it."
Hey, he claims to have changed...
"Well, thank you very much," the player said tentatively, seeing Gojo Satoru's expression clearly expecting him to say something. The other person immediately threw his head back and laughed, "That's right, that's right. More compliments like that!"
So cute.
The player was distracted for a moment. Usually at this time, Geto Suguru would remind Gojo Satoru not to be so complacent, but this time he didn't hear any sound from the other party.
Turn your head and look for the other person.
Geto Xiayou stood not far away, watching this side silently.
How to describe that expression...
Compared to the worry that could be seen on Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu's faces, the compassion in his eyes seemed to be saying...
“…How pitiful.”
The senior who strictly adhered to social etiquette looked down at her, as if looking at a bird with its wings broken: "I will protect you."
Geto Suguru once said something similar.
This time he did not add a subject.
Mr. Shen'er's words about the desire to protect are actually not without reason.
The above thought suddenly occurred to the player.
