Chapter 51
"clang clang——" Baichuanmu picked up the mirror and placed it in front of Jiarui Xiaozi, and adjusted the angle so that she could see the bun on her head.
Ieiri Naoko tilted her head slightly, and the two golden stars on the hairband used to tie her bun swayed slightly as she tilted her head. She seemed to hear a slight collision sound. It was obviously not like the sound of wind chimes, but Ieiri Naoko still associated it with the crisp and lively ding-dong sound that came when Toda Miki pulled her to open the door.
It is now almost noon, and the sunlight is not as soft as in the morning, but a little stronger.
The two of them were sitting in the best-lit spot in the store. It was already late autumn, and it was indeed quite pleasant to sit in the sun. However, Jia Ru Nishiko felt that the sunlight from the hair accessories was a bit dazzling, and she felt a little sleepy... and a little confused.
So, why did things turn out like this?
Ieiri Shoko tilted her head with a helpless expression. After Toda Miki left, the beautiful sister sitting opposite her narrowed her eyes. That seemingly gentle smile made Ieiri Shoko feel a sense of crisis. She felt uncomfortable all over, as if she was being stared at by a thousand-year-old fox.
I always feel that... this beautiful sister is very cunning...
Baichuanmu narrowed her eyes, playing with the hair band her little sister gave her. Looking at Jiaru Xiaozi, she felt itchy in her hands: "Xiaozi, how about I put a bun on your hair?"
Ieiri Nitsuko was confused: "Huh?"
Bai Chuanmu tilted his head and blinked: "Is it okay?"
Ieiri Naoko has always been easy-going, or perhaps because the contrast was too great, she was unable to react, and she replied blankly: "Okay..."
So Baichuanmu tied a bun for Jiaru Xiaozi. It looks good and cute, but it feels like her character has changed? Xiaozi's lazy temperament has been slightly diluted?
When Ieiri Nozomi came to her senses, Baichuanmu had already taken out a mirror and let her admire her new hairstyle.
Bai Chuanmu asked with great interest: "How is it?!"
Ieiri Naoko is usually too lazy to tinker with her hairstyle, mainly because she finds it a bit troublesome. She used to have long hair, but just to save trouble she trimmed it to shoulder length.
However, when Naoko Ieiri saw her new hairstyle, her first thought was that if her hair was longer, it would be more suitable for a bun. The current "bun" was a bit too small.
"Not bad, thank you..." After saying this, Ieiri Naoko yawned.
"Have you not had a good rest recently?" Baichuanmu asked, "Glass is still an elementary school student, so she shouldn't be that tired, right?"
Although Ieiri Shoko is a super rare sorcerer who can heal others with reversal magic, those rotten oranges shouldn't exploit an elementary school student, right?
Wait, you shouldn't expect anything from rotten oranges.
Thinking of those rotten oranges, Bai Chuanmu couldn't help but reveal a slight disgust in his eyes.
However, this made Jia Ruxiaozi, who was secretly observing her, a little alert. Although she didn't quite understand Bai Chuanmu's complicated eyes, she felt that this beautiful sister was unfathomable.
However, Jialili Naoko felt that this beautiful sister should have no ill intentions. Wasn't it to relieve her tense mood that she offered to tie her hair? By doing this, the beautiful sister was also telling her that she had no ill intentions.
No, Bai Chuanmu was simply acting on a whim. He just did whatever he wanted.
After a while of silence, Ieiri Naoko finally decided to speak: "It's really not hard, it's just that I haven't been able to sleep well recently... I keep seeing some..."
"Curse spirit?" Bai Chuanmu asked.
Ieiri Naoko was stunned: "Cursed Spirit? Is that the name of those monsters?"
"Yes, but it's quite strange..." Baichuan Mu held her chin with her hand and looked sideways at Ieiri Naoko beside her. In order to make a bun for her, she moved from the opposite side to sit next to Ieiri Naoko.
Ieiri Naoko asked, "Strange? What's strange about it?"
Baichuan Mu thought for a moment and said, "I remember the awakening technique was between the ages of four and six. Glass is nine years old now, right?"
Ieiri Naoko pursed her lips and said, "I was indeed six years old when I suddenly began to see those monsters... I wasn't that scared at first, but this year my parents went to work in other places, and only my grandma was with me at home... I'm not used to this, and I feel that those monsters have become even scarier, so I've been suffering from insomnia recently."
Baichuan Mu nodded thoughtfully as he listened. The original book did not mention Ieiri Shoko's family background, and Geto Suguru's family was only briefly mentioned. At least we knew that his parents were ordinary people.
It sounds like Ieiri Nozomi's family members are all ordinary people?
But thinking back to Ieiri Shoko's reaction when she heard the word "curse", Baichuan Mu should have guessed this at that time.
Come to think of it, Gojo Satoru's classmates all grew up in Muggle families.
"Although your reversal technique is extremely rare, but... it should be able to exorcise the cursed spirit, right?" Baichuan Mu was not very sure. At least the comics did not say whether Ieiri Shoko had the ability to fight.
But even if there is, the high-ranking officials of the Jujutsu would not be willing to put her on the front line, right? She is the only nurse now!
Ieiri Naoko repeated blankly, "Reversal of the ritual? Purification?"
It was the first time she had heard these terms. Ieiri Naoko looked at her palms, opened and closed her fingers, and then a small ball of blue-white flame appeared in her hands: "This?"
Baichuan Mu heard this and put on her cursed glasses so that she could see the cursed flame in Jiali Nozomi's hand: "Wow - it's not blue-black. Is it because it's reversed and changed color?"
She muttered to herself, it seemed that she didn't see Ieiri Shoko performing the magic in the original book.
Ieiri Naoko stared at Baichuanmu's glasses curiously, and thought that this pair of seemingly ordinary black-framed glasses might be some powerful props, such as... for example, being able to observe one's own abilities more clearly.
There is nothing wrong with saying this, it is indeed clearer, and it has transitioned from being invisible to being unable to see.
The previous pair of one-sided gold-rimmed glasses has been "retired". Although Geto Suguru is now able to control his cursed energy very well, it is just an ordinary pair of glasses. It is not easy to withstand the cursed energy injected several times.
The cursed glasses that Baichuanmu is using now are already level 3.0, and she now prefers simpler styles.
"What color are they usually?" asked Naoko Ieiri.
"Blue-black," Baichuanmu replied, "But Glass, since you can reverse the technique, you probably don't know how to use the cursed power without reversing it, right?"
Ieiri Naoko hummed and lowered her eyes: "Actually... I haven't used it much."
Baichuanmu was confused: "Huh? Why?"
After a moment's hesitation, Ieiri Shoko replied, "...After I told my parents that I could see monsters, they took me to see a psychiatrist, so...so I haven't really used this ability."
Baichuanmu gently comforted her, "Your parents are concerned about you, but most people can't see those monsters. Only a very few people can see them. And Xiaozi, you are even more special. Your talent is also one of the few among the few."
Ieiri Naoko also vaguely sensed this, so she calmed down and thought that sooner or later, she would meet someone like her, just like now.
The corners of Jialiu Naoko's mouth could not help but curl up slightly, and she looked at Baichuanmu with expectation in her eyes: "Then..."
Ah, come to think of it, she still doesn’t know her beautiful sister’s name.
Bai Chuanmu was quite considerate at this time: "I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Bai Chuanmu."
Ieiri Naoko hesitated for a moment whether to address her by her first name or her last name, but when she thought of the other person calling her by her first name, she said, "Sister Mumu."
"Hmm~" Baichuanmu responded, his eyes narrowed with laughter. The cub Glass is so cute, so soft and adorable.
But... Ieiri Naoko calls me "sister" and Xiayou Jie calls me "mom"...
Hahaha, how come Nozomi is suddenly older than Geto Suguru? Hahahahahaha——!
Baichuan Mu was trying hard to hold back her laughter, but Jiaru Nishiko's words calmed her down.
"Sister Mumu, can you show me how to use the cursed power?" Jiaru Nozomi looked at Baichuan Mu expectantly. The cursed power flame in her hand had been extinguished. She placed her hands on her knees and looked at Baichuan Mu obediently.
Bai Chuanmu said helplessly: "I want to, but I'm not a sorcerer. I'm just an ordinary person who doesn't know how to cast a spell."
Ieiri Naoko was surprised and said, "That's impossible..."
"Really, but..." Baichuan Mu thought for a moment, then blinked at Jialiu Xiaozi and said, "Xiaozi, you think cursed spirits are scary because they look scary, right?"
Ieiri Naoko nodded: "Some of them can even talk, and their voices sound very eerie and scary."
"Is that so~" Bai Chuanmu dug into his pocket, took out a cat strip, and then shouted, "Cats, dogs--! There's food~"
There was a "da da da" sound coming from upstairs. After a while, the cute and ugly cats and dogs rolled down the stairs. This was the only way for the little fool to go downstairs.
Looking at the cats and dogs rolling down the stairs, Ieiri Nishiko couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then, looking at it running towards them happily, she thought that this ugly and weird little guy was also a little cute.
Cat and dog came to Baichuanmu's feet, wagging their tails quickly. Baichuanmu lifted them onto the table and handed the cat food to Jiaru Nishiko: "You can feed them... Although cats and dogs occasionally come to the table, I will wipe the table carefully afterwards, don't worry."
Naoko Ieiri faced this ugly but cute cat and dog with its tongue sticking out. She had encountered this type of cursed spirit before, but none of them was as docile as this one.
Cats and dogs rushed into the house and meowed at Glass, watching the cat strip in her hand shake even faster.
Ieiri Nozomi groaned, and her fear of the cursed spirit was alleviated a lot. She opened the cat food strips and fed the cats and dogs.
Bai Chuanmu's eyes sparkled as he showed off his pets: "Aren't cats and dogs cute?!"
Ieiri Naoko pursed her lips and said, "Well... compared to other monsters... cursed spirits, it is indeed cute."
Bai Chuanmu said: "When I first saw the Curse Spirit, I almost cried with fear, but after seeing it many times, I felt it was nothing."
While feeding the cats and dogs, Ieiri Nozomi nodded and uttered a few "hmm"s as if to perfunctorily answer the call. Her eyes looked a little vague.
Ieiri Naoko muttered to herself in a low voice, "Someone who can control monsters... Is Sister Mumu trying to hide her own strength?"
"Huh?" Baichuan Mu didn't hear clearly what Ieiri Naoko was saying to herself, so she didn't notice that the lovely Ieiri Naoko also had a tendency to become Di.
"Ah, what I mean is..." Ieiri Naoko came back to her senses, "Being able to control these monsters... Cursed Spirits should be a very rare ability, right?"
Baichuan Mu nodded: "Indeed, although the ability to control cursed spirits, which is called the Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique, should be rarer than your reversal technique, but you are the most needed talent in the curse world, right?"
"Why?" Ieiri Naoko was stunned for a moment.
"Because Glass's reversal technique can heal others." Baichuanmu replied.
Ieiri Naoko pressed on, "Can't others do it? Is it just me who has this ability?"
Bai Chuanmu thought for a moment and replied, "Now, only you can do this."
"Now..." Ieiri Shoko murmured the word.
"Well, now." Bai Chuanmu nodded.
Ieiri Naoko took a deep breath and her pupils dilated slightly. She didn't understand why Baichuanmu emphasized this point, as if Baichuanmu knew what would happen in the future.
