Chapter 43 Extra 001: When Sugawara Megumi travels back to the original story
"Ahui, don't you want to leave with us?" Yuji Itadori leaned out of the bus and waved to the boy standing outside.
"I still have some souvenirs to buy, and I will go home by myself when the time comes. I'll leave the luggage to you." Sugawara Megumi stuffed the box of luggage that her parents had filled with during the training camp into the car.
"In that case, we'll go back first. Ah Hui, don't forget the training tomorrow morning." After the noisy goodbyes, the bus carrying the students of Mika High School gradually disappeared from sight.
Sugawara Megumi pulled out her phone and activated the map navigation. "That bastard dad secretly took on some work and broke the curse tool, and he even asked me to find a craftsman to fix it without telling Mom."
Following the navigation, Sugawara Megumi found that the scenery on both sides was becoming more and more desolate. After crossing a bridge, Sugawara Megumi saw a forest.
There was no sign of human habitation at first glance. Sugawara Megumi touched the little squirrel that came over and wondered if he had given the wrong address.
This place doesn't look like a place where living people would live.
Sugawara Megumi took out his phone to ask again, then he felt someone gently tugging at the corner of his clothes.
The hairs on Sugawara Megumi's back stood up as she was completely unaware of the person behind her.
You have to know that even under Shiro's devilish training, someone actually approached her silently. This was a situation that Sugawara Megumi had never encountered before.
All of a sudden, all the teachings of his parents over the years came to his mind. The black dragon in the shadow under Sugawara Megumi's feet was ready to move, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the guy who launched a sneak attack on the little master at any time.
Sugawara Kei turned around and saw a very unfamiliar girl who looked about the same age as him, with a relieved smile on her face.
"Hui, it's great to see you here." The girl said this and took two steps forward as if wanting a reunion hug.
This is a bit like the scam that appeared in novels many years ago. Sugawara Megumi thought cautiously and felt that the girl in front of her was very sincere and not a liar.
Sugawara Megumi opened her eyes wide and took a step back to avoid being touched by the strange girl in front of her: "I think you have the wrong person, I don't know you."
Sugawara Megumi pressed the call button to ask what the hell this place was, but after three beeps, she only heard a mechanical female voice: "Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service—"
Sugawara Megumi was full of questions. Could it be that Jiner had cancelled his account and was taking advantage of him to go out for a private time with his mother?
Considering how powerful Ke Leilei was before, it seems not surprising that he would do such a thing.
The girl opposite showed an expression of disbelief on her face: "What are you talking about, Hui, I'm Tsu Miki."
Sugawara Megumi took off her hat and said hesitantly: "Ms. Tsu Miki, have we met somewhere before?"
Fushiguro Miki stared at the confused boy in front of her for a few seconds, then covered her face and sobbed.
Miss Tsumiki, who had a smile on her face just now, suddenly squatted down, hugged her knees and started crying, leaving Sugawara Megumi a little at a loss.
"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?" Sugawara Megumi said as she took out a handkerchief and squatted on one knee to hand it to her.
“Wow, why did Hui play such a bad joke?
I was scared when I woke up and got lost and was alone. I didn’t know where my phone was and couldn’t contact you.
"Hui, didn't you come to see me?" Fushiguro Miki raised her head and asked with tears streaming down her face.
Sugawara Kei felt that Miss Tsumiki might really know someone who looked very similar to him.
Taking the girls Ayumi and Ai that Sugawara Megumi came into contact with as an example, girls would not easily cry so... intently in front of ordinary friends.
After realizing that her handkerchief was useless, Sugawara Megumi took out a wet wipe and handed it over.
The moment their fingers accidentally touched, Sugawara Megumi was stunned.
Miss Tsumiki's body temperature was very low, which made Sugawara Megumi imagine a possibility, and then she thought about what she had just said.
"Ms. Tsumiki, I really don't know you. In fact, I came to Saitama Prefecture for a training camp and only stayed here for a few days." Sugawara Megumi said sincerely.
Tsu Miki also noticed some details during the close observation: the sportswear and shoulder bag that she had never seen before, the cheerful expression on the boy's face and the disappearance of the prickly sea urchin head.
Sugawara Megumi also noticed the gaze lingering on his head. Is that person who looks like him also a sea urchin?
He touched his hair and said in a relaxed tone, "I had a hair treatment to make my hair smoother. After all, I'm in high school now and wanted to change my hairstyle."
What Sugawara Megumi didn't expect was that Miss Tsumiki suddenly showed a panic expression on her face: "What, Megumi, you are already in high school?"
Sugawara Megumi sighed: "Ms. Tsumiki, you seem a little confused, why don't we talk somewhere else."
Tsu Miki pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "But no matter how I tried before, I couldn't get out. I couldn't find the direction."
"It's okay, just follow me. I promise I won't lose my way again this time." Sugawara Megumi extended her hand to the girl in front of her.
Miki Tsunegi thought for a moment and put her hand on it.
"Ms. Tsu Miki, can you tell me why you came here?" Sugawara Megumi asked from the side.
“It was a courage test. I came to Hachijo Bridge with two friends at night. To my surprise, those two guys didn’t call me. When I woke up, I was alone under the bridge.
I lost my phone and was worried that Hui would be worried about me.
Just call me Tsu Miki, we look about the same age.
The Hui I'm talking about is my younger brother, you two look alike."
After hearing that the person who looked very similar to him was also called "Keiko", Sugawara Keiko thought to himself that this was indeed the case.
Sugawara Megumi nodded, recalling what Uncle Eugene had said, that wandering spirits usually don't notice the problems they encounter because they leave the body before death.
Sugawara Megumi held Tsumeki's hand. He knew what to do at this time because he had seen his mother do it.
The lost girl finally walked out of Hachijo Bridge.
"Looking back, it seems that this distance was very short!" said Tsu Miki, with a bright and lively smile on her face.
Sugawara Megumi felt that her smile was very comforting.
Soon a new problem arose before the two of them. Sugawara Megumi discovered that the first row of contacts in her address book were no longer in service.
"Sorry, there seems to be a problem here." Sugawara Megumi said with a forced smile, realizing that something was wrong.
Was he under the spell of a monster or the cursed spirit that Shir mentioned?
"Maybe there's a problem with the address book. Tsumiki, do you still remember your brother's phone number?" asked Sugawara Megumi.
The schedule of Juu High School's courses was not tight, and Megumi Fushiguro, who was the only student this academic year practicing with seniors, received a call from an unknown number.
The crackling sound of electricity made Fushiguro Megumi frown, and he remembered the prank phone curse he had dealt with before.
Then, a voice that only appeared in dreams came from the other end of the phone: "Is this Hui? It's Tsu Miki."
The urchin-haired boy in the high school uniform froze in place, holding his breath, a little afraid that he had encountered some terrible prank.
Tsu Miki held the phone with a confused look on her face: "Emi, are you still there?"
"Here." Fushiguro Megumi said slowly, but he couldn't control his trembling voice.
The trembling breathing sound was clearly transmitted to the other end of the phone, and Tsu Miki's face showed a serious expression: "Emi, are you fighting with the gangsters again?"
The familiar voice and tone made Fushiguro Megumi smile, and the playground and the concerned senior in front of her became blurry.
Fushiguro Megumi wiped her eyes and said, "I didn't fight with the gangsters. I'll come find you now, sister."
"I'll wait for you at home." Megumi Fushiguro said happily when she heard her sister's voice.
After the phone call was disconnected, Gojo Satoru appeared on the playground. This strongest man, who had recently been either on a mission or on his way to a mission, had a heavy expression on his face. "Keiko, Tsu Miki's condition isn't good."
Megumi Fushiguro, who just spoke to her sister on the phone:
"How far is your home from here?" Sugawara Kei asked after counting the cash on her.
He had a bold guess that he needed to go to the home of Miss Miki Fushiguro and her brother Megumi Fushiguro to confirm.
"It only takes half an hour to walk there, or we can take the bus." Tsu Miki said, holding back Sugawara Megumi who was trying to get a taxi.
Although the brother and sister no longer have to worry about not being able to go to school thanks to Mr. Gojo's help, both sisters have developed the good habit of frugality.
Sugawara Megumi stopped a taxi and opened the door: "The sun is very strong now, Tsumiki, you must be feeling very uncomfortable under the sun."
Tsu Miki was stunned for a moment and then nodded. She was indeed a little uncomfortable but she had been enduring it. Even her understanding nature was very similar to her brother.
"Driver, after the turn ahead, the house with the bunny-patterned wind chime hanging on the windowsill is my house," said Tsu Miki.
Sugawara Megumi repeated it, and the driver nodded to indicate that he heard it.
"Uncle driver, didn't you hear me?" Tsu Miki couldn't help but say angrily.
"Don't be angry, Tsumiki, I have some candy here, do you want to eat it?" Sugawara Megumi asked, taking out a handful of vitamin gummies from her pocket.
Tsu Miki, who was eating gummy candy, started humming a song again. The driver, who kept glancing back through the rearview mirror, looked away uncomfortably after meeting those emerald green eyes.
The boy acted too calmly. His actions when getting into the car and his body movements when talking made the driver suspicious as he held the steering wheel.
Is there really another passenger in this car, but he has a problem so we can't see him?
"We're home. Hui and I will live there," said Tsumiki.
Sugawara Megumi watched as he sped off at a speed exceeding the city limit without even giving a second thought.
Hearing Tsu Miki's words, Sugawara Megumi's helpless expression turned into confusion: "Are you two living alone?"
Where's your mother? Where's the neighbor, Tiger Stick's family?
Sugawara Megumi remembered that the policeman who often took him out to play said that his parents used to be excellent police officers who were good at destroying criminal organizations during undercover missions.
Therefore, for a period of time, they would often change their surnames as a way to ensure safety.
"They all left, and Hui and I have been living together since elementary school," said the girl.
"I'm sorry." Sugawara Megumi said, feeling a little depressed.
"It's okay." Tsu Miki said. Her voice was so gentle that for a moment, Sugawara Megumi felt her nose sore for some reason.
"Want to see our home?" asked Tsu Miki.
"Yes." Sugawara Megumi nodded honestly. At least he was curious about how he lived in this world.
There were only two signs of life in the room. Sugawara Megumi saw the photos on the table, a photo of a smiling Tsu Miki and a tsundere-looking boy with a sea urchin hair.
The face in the photo, Sugawara Megumi, is so familiar to me. Every time he makes that expression, people would even say that he is in his rebellious period and has a sour face.
While Tsu Miki returned to her room, Sugawara Megumi secretly took a few cute photos. His mother would definitely be worried about him after coming here, so it would be nice to bring some photos back to divert her parents' attention.
The life trajectories of Sugawara Megumi and Fushiguro Megumi are not completely different. For example, when Sugawara Megumi came across a photo of herself dancing in a pink dress, she couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that no matter which Hui has a name that sounds like a girl, he or she has had the experience of being confused by the teacher in kindergarten and forced to wear girls' clothes to perform. This is all because of the bastard father.
"Does Yuji live next door to you?" Although she didn't hold out any hope, Sugawara Megumi still asked.
"This name is unfamiliar. There is no one named Yuji living next door to us." Tsu Miki replied.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and an old voice came from the other side: "Is Hui back? I made some stew."
"It's the old lady next door." Tsu Miki said as she was about to open the door. Sugawara Megumi followed her silently, and her fingertips moved slightly as a cursed tool slowly emerged from the dark shadow on the ground.
The door opened, and Tsu Miki showed a terrified expression when she saw the monster outside. Before she could scream, she felt herself protected by a dark color.
Sugawara Megumi drew out the boning knife, Molong, and ate the cursed spirits in the front row with a low groan. Looking at the cursed spirits in front and the cursed spirits standing next to them, Geto Suguru felt complicated. Knowing that the ball-headed brother who invited him to eat candy when he was a child was the villain here made Sugawara Megumi feel complicated. And what about that monk's robe? Did Geto Suguru in this world give up medicine to become a teacher?
When Gojo Satoru arrived with his men, he saw a young man who looked exactly like his disciple and asked curiously, "What happened to Geto? Did you give up medicine to become a teacher? Is it because studying medicine can't save Japan?"
