II: Lily of the Valley
Chapter 73: Anxious Mountain Breeze
Megumin: Destroy this world.

＊＊＊

Life was really full of surprises.

With the desire to catch fish, Satoru, the person in charge of the first grade of the Tokyo Jujutsu High School and a teacher without a teaching certificate, without any guilt, gave the task to the only student in the first grade of the high school, the adopted son whom he had watched since childhood, Megumi Fushiguro.

After receiving Megumi's call, Satoru, who was originally on a business trip, took the Shinkansen and rushed over to Sendai overnight. On the way, he bought the local specialty, Kikusui'an Kikufuku.

Satoru stood outside the school gate. Through an iron gate, he could feel the thick and viscous curse inside. The curse in the school was obviously greatly stimulated that almost cheered with joy. The sky covered by the haze quietly pushed aside by the lonely moon, the clear light of the bright moon splashed down from the top of the clouds.

In an instant, the curses surging in the air subsided, as if the carnival just now had never happened.

Satoru raised his eyebrows. Although he was not sure what was going on, the situation inside should have stabilized for the time being.

After teleporting to the rooftop with "Blue", Satoru saw Megumi with blood all over his head, who looked like he had been beaten. Yuji, who was aggrieved and knelt down on the messy ground, obediently listening to the lectures, and there was also a particularly irritable redhead.

Satoru paused.

To be honest, Satoru had known the redhead for more than ten years, and he had never seen her so irritable. The practical anger made her red hair burn more and more vigorously, like a raging wildfire, and the veins on her forehead popped out. Her face was as dark as a pot, and his eyes were fierce, like the reincarnation of Godzilla.

Satoru's eyes passed over the shirtless Yuji and the steaming big bump on his head, and he realized.

A young man whose passion ran high during adolescence.

He thought back then, he was like this, kneeling in front of Yaga-sensei with a bump on his head to confess. Thinking back to that time and looking back now, Satoru only felt nostalgic and emotional.

"It's okay if you come out and wander around in the middle of the night." Yayoi was very angry, "Why are you shirtless? You will be arrested as a pervert!"

Satoru: "..."
It's nice to be young.

Megumi: "..."
This was no longer a matter of being caught in a police station.

Yuji: "..."
What happened QAQ

His mind seemed to be in a mess, chaotic and dizzy. Maybe the slap just now was too sobering. Megumi's mind was still echoing with the slap Yayoi threw.

The full moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight stirred up dust and floats in the air. The naked boy knelt on the ground and listens to his sister's lectures. The black incantation seemed to have faded. The ink dispersed from the skin bit by bit. The red-haired woman was obviously very angry. Looking at the scene, it seemed that this woman was more terrifying than the special grade curse.

Unable to think, he couldn't tell whether it was the curse or Yuji who was speaking now.

At least he would listen to his sister without a special grade cursed technique.

"What's the situation now?"

A sudden voice sounded in the clear moon.

Megumi was stunned and turned around to see Satoru holding a paper bag.

"Gojo-sensei, why are you..." Megumi was stunned, and the uneasiness and urgency accumulated in her heart disappeared silently.

"Uncle, who are you?" The gorilla who had swallowed the special grade cursed object turned around when he heard the sound.

The little tiger thought he looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Satoru: [cat shocked.jpg] U, uncle?

"You..." Yayoi came back to her senses and saw a 190+ cm man wearing a blindfold and hair pointing upward. The aura of the other person clearly told her that the 190+ wearing a blindfold was the big 190+ cm cat wearing sunglasses that she knew.

However, before she could finish her words, the big cat over there let out an extremely shrill meow.

Yuji: "..."
Now that I think about it, it's Gojo-san.

"Yayoi! You're too much!"

Megumi watched helplessly as Satoru let out a melancholy meow, then pulled off his blindfold, revealing his big eyes.

Megumi: "..."
You were twenty-eight years old, so you should have some face.

Megumi once again watched helplessly as the shameless white-haired teacher pounced on her like a hungry tiger, and pulled the red-haired sister's face with his two paws.

Megumi's pupils were shaking, what were you doing? You unscrupulous teacher!

"Look at my face, do I look like a middle-aged uncle? Is there an uncle as young as me?" Satoru's hands were placed on Yayoi's face, and he would round and flatten her face. His expression was sad, angry and aggrieved, "Do I look like that? I'm only three years older than you! Just three years older!"

"I... didn't... um..." Yayoi's face was so dizzy from being rubbed by his salty pig claws that she couldn't speak clearly and could only mumble out a few syllables.

Gojo the Cat: kitty feels wronged.jpg

"You let me go first..." Yayoi said with difficulty.

"I won't let you go! I won't let go!" Satoru said so loudly that his body almost fell on Yayoi. "You coax me, I'm not happy! I'm really not happy!"

"I didn't... said... you were... an uncle." Yayoi was a little suffocated by his two salty pig paws, and she stumbled to finish her words.

The face of the sea urchin head who were watching turned black, and he shouted in his hearts that he was condemning his bad teacher, "What on earth are you doing?"

The little tiger who was watching was expressionless. 'Could anyone tell me what the situation was now?'

"What are you here for?! Wake up, you unscrupulous teacher!" Megumi exploded.

Although this guy was usually very unruly, he was not so unruly as to touch a girl. Even if she was an old acquaintance, such an action was obviously out of bounds, right?

"Why are you here?" Yayoi, who finally escaped from the claws of the coquettish big cat, rubbed her face, and her red hair fell down from her shoulders to her waist.

She looked a little silly, and it was completely unimaginable that this redhead was the one who kicked the cursed spirit into the teaching building next door and slapped the special grade cursed creature back.

"I'm on a business trip~" Satoru turned around and patted the head of his student with messy hair. Maybe it was from the fierce battle just now. There was a lot of dust on the boy's hair and face, and his clothes became tattered. It was so bad that a big piece of the cuff was torn off. "This is my student, Megumi Fushiguro."

Megumi looked expressionless and slapped his hand off.

Yayoi's pupils were shaking. She looked at Megumi and then at Satoru. She couldn't believe it, "...Gojo-sensei?"

"Bingo!" Satoru made a V sign, "It's the Great Teacher Gojo!"

Yayoi felt that the jujutsu society would be finished.

"By the way, what's going on?" Satoru rubbed his chin and tilted his head, "Yuji, why are you shirtless? You will be arrested as a pervert."

"If you lose the special grade cursed object, the boss will keep nagging." Satoru added, "Also, Megumi, have you found the special grade cursed object?"

Three fatal questions.

The most fearful thing was that the air would suddenly become quiet.

An unusually heavy silence fell on both boys.

Megumi lowered his head and Yuji carefully raised his hand.

"Ano..." the shirtless little tiger said cautiously, "Sorry, I ate it."

The air fell into silence again, leaving only the sound of owls echoing in the night wind and the chirping of night insects one after another.

"...maji?" Satoru felt that he had learned a lot tonight.

"Maji." The two boys said in unison.

Satoru was silent for a while, then turned to look at Yayoi and spoke slowly, "Yayoi, your brother... does he have such a good appetite?"

Holy sh*t, Satoru was willing to call Yuji the strongest in this regard, after all, he himself had never thought of chewing special grade cursed objects.

After coming back to her senses, Yayoi rushed forward and opened Yuji's mouth, trying to see if she could dig out the cursed object, "Yuji! Don't eat randomly!"

She admitted that she was indeed a bit stupid, but she was not so stupid that she did not know the common sense that special grade curse should not be eaten randomly.

"Sis, sister, sister, I, I, I, I..."

"You're not a child anymore, why are you still eating randomly?" Yayoi collapsed, "It will ruin your stomach!"

Megumi: "..."
Was this a bad stomach thing?! It's better to eat Sukuna's fingers until your stomach collapsed!

Megumi squatted on the ground, feeling that he had never vomited as much in his life as he did tonight, but he had an unreliable white-haired teacher to join in messing around with him.

Satoru, who didn't take things too seriously when watching the excitement, had devoted his life to making troubles. He helped Yayoi open Yuji's mouth, "Come on, Yuji, open your mouth and let sensei see! Let me know if I can dig it out!"

Megumi: "...you three buffoons, please stop this!"

"This is interesting." Satoru came up and looked left and right at the little tiger whose chin was being pulled by Yayoi, "It's really mixed in."

"What's interesting?!"

The two siblings asked Satoru soul questions in unison.

"Is there anything wrong with your body?" Satoru asked.

"No." Yuji answered vaguely as his sister pinched his chin.

Yayoi released her hand holding Yuji's chin.

Yuji found that his sister looked at him with fear in her eyes, not pure fear, but hesitation, confusion, fear... all kinds of complicated things were mixed together. There were too many things that he didn't understand. It was the first time he saw his sister looked like a frightened deer.

"...Yuji, are you going to become... a 'vessel' too?" His sister's voice was trembling, and her face and lips were a little white.

"...sister?"

What was 'also'?

Yuji was puzzled.

"Can you swap with Sukuna?" Satoru paused and spoke nonchalantly.

"Sukuna?" Yuji was confused.

"It's the curse you eat." Satoru said.

Yuji: "I think it should be okay."

"Then ten seconds, exchange for ten seconds." Satoru's smile was frivolous and careless.

"But..."

Yuji hesitated. When his sister was lecturing him, he felt that someone had been messing around in his mind. The guy's words and deeds were full of violence, like an evil ghost who had been imprisoned for a long time and was too suppressed. With so much desire and violence, once unleashed, it would choose and devour others.

After his sister slapped him to the ground, the guy kept pushing, saying he would come out and kill his sister.

The little tiger got excited and said decisively, "I refuse, that guy has ill intentions towards my sister!"

If he wanted to hurt his sister in front of him, there was no way!

Yayoi: ???

Satoru: "..." the smile gradually disappears.jpg

"Let him out, I will blow his head off!" Satoru shouted loudly.

Angry cat.jpg

Megumi: "..."

Yuji: "..."

Megumi: "...what on earth are you doing?"

Satoru threw the kikufuku paper bag in his hand to Megumi and started doing warm-up exercises on his own, determined to knock off the head of Ryomen Sukuna.

Megumi was speechless. Why did he think Satoru was so... pretentious tonight? Although this person was usually very pretentious, tonight he seemed to be a little more... restless?

Then his eyes moved down and saw the specially drawn logo of Kikusui'an on the paper bag that was thrown over. Megumi was in no mood at all. When his life was at stake, this person actually went to buy souvenirs? All he wanted now was to blow that guy's head off!

"Don't eat it secretly." came an angry voice, "These are snacks I want to eat on the Shinkansen on the way back."

"Who would eat secre– from the back!"

The black curse spread from the young man's body, like plant vines growing wantonly. The curse that took over the body moved the muscles and bones, stretching the muscles. The broad back was like a tiger ready to go. The muscles contracted again, and then exerted force with his feet, stretched out his sharp five fingers, and jumped up like a ghost.

*boom—*

The opponent fell from the sky and hit the ground hard. The floor beneath his feet was vibrating. The dust on the wall began to fall, and dust particles filled the rooftop like a swinging haze.

The roar that was suppressed in the throat was like thunder rolling in the dark clouds. Under the moonlight, the cursed human being had eyes as fierce as evil ghosts. The feeling of being able to use his body again made him extremely relaxed and happy.

When Megumi reacted, he found that he had been picked up by Yayoi and put on her shoulders. The rapidly accelerating wind blew up his hair. After the smoke and dust dissipated, he found that he had fallen on the roof of the flat-roofed building on the top floor. The suddenly elevated viewing angle allowed him to watch the fight between the strongest modern sorcerer and the King of Curses from a thousand years ago from all directions.

Yayoi watched helplessly as her well-behaved ototo combed his hair and got unconventional tattoos, her expression a little dull.

The target suddenly disappeared, and the other party missed it.

Then he stood up slowly, raised his hand, put his palm against the skin of his neck, moved his neck twice and raised his head. He condescended to look at Yayoi, who was sitting on the flat-roofed building, and grinned, revealing his white teeth.

Yayoi was caught off guard and met Sukuna's eyes.

"This perspective is really unpleasant." The other party showed a malicious smile, "You are the first person who dares to hit me in the face, and you are a woman."

Yayoi spoke subconsciously and from the bottom of her heart, "...I didn't mean it?"

Sukuna: ???
Was this redhead being provocative? Okay, I'll kill you after I knock off that white hair.

Megumi: "..."
Itadori, was your sister stupid?

Gojo the Cat: "..." ##

Compared to Yayoi, the curse attached to Yuji was obviously more interested in Satoru. He turned around and was about to torture him, but in turn, he was hammered all over the head by the angry big cat.

The two people fighting together below were like matadors and bullfighters in the Spanish arena. The spin, side kick, elbow strike... extremely powerful blows, but he couldn't hit Satoru no matter what. This guy was so slippery. Like a loach, he was obviously only a short distance away from concentration, but he forcefully let him slip away.

"Let me show off in front of the little redhead and my student." Satoru said frivolously, leaning against his back and leaning back slightly, close to his ear.

Yayoi: !!!
Just fight, what were you doing? Were you plotting against my brother?! No, I, the little redhead, I wouldn’t agree!

The whistling wind stirred up the dust, and Sukuna turned around to elbow, but Satoru suddenly appeared behind him and grabbed his arm. He spun his body quickly, and punched the opponent's face directly in the middle of the cheek.

*bang—*

A violent sound exploded on the rooftop of the top floor. The King of Curses, who was holding the boy's body, was punched out by Satoru and hit the railing. The force of the impact caused the metal railing to deform on the spot.

"Really, no matter what era, sorcerers are always so difficult to deal with." Sukuna was not angry, but instead stretched a weird smile at the corner of his mouth.

*clank—*

The sound of metal friction suddenly echoed on the empty rooftop, the surrounding air suddenly vibrated, and the solidified reinforced concrete ground beneath my feet trembled.

Facts have proved that Satoru, a nasty man, was really deadly in fights. If the fight continued, he would do something bad to Yuji if he didn't keep it together.

'No more fighting.'

Yayoi began to form seals.

The sharp tip of the chain picked up the stone bricks on the ground and cut through the air. Sukuna stopped moving forward and grabbed the chain, trying to throw it out, but the chain just stopped. As if it had been infused with life force, it followed his arm and wrapped directly around his body, as flexible as a snake.

*crash—*

After a sound, the sharp tip of the chain cut through the stone bricks and sank into the concrete, which was considered fixed.

The cursed energy around him boiled, and Satoru raised his eyebrows.

It's strange that a mere chain can wrap around the King of Curses.

So there were more chains waiting for him. In a moment, the floor of the rooftop on the top floor was thrown into a mess. Several chains lifted off the stone bricks. The light chains exuded a soft golden halo in the dark night. Their offensive was sharpened again, tightly wrapped around his limbs.

'Can’t move.'

Sukuna paused and tried to wave his arm, but that arm was tightly wrapped in golden chains.

'The sorcerer’s ability?'

'No, no, that’s not his ability.'

Sukuna raised his head and his eyes fell on the red-haired woman on the flat-roofed building. She kept the gesture of sealing. The moonlight was very good tonight. From this perspective, he could still see the light chain extending from her back.

'That woman.'

'Is it similar to the ability of "binding"?'

"Ten seconds have passed, Yuji." Satoru's light voice came again.

The authority to control the body receded little by little like a fading tide. The eyelids of this body became heavy, and the extra eyes slowly closed.

'Here we go again.'

'Who is this boy named Yuji?'

'That woman...'

'Tsk.'

Yuji raised his head again, "Mm... huh? What is this?"

Yuji looked up and down at the chains wrapped around him, and was shocked.

"Well... you have to ask your sister." Satoru smiled and turned his attention to Yayoi who jumped off the roof of the flat roof with Megumi in her arms.

"I really didn't expect that, Yayoi." After Satoru clapped a like a little seal, he turned his face, and his expression changed as fast as a face change in Sichuan Opera. The white cat pinched the orchid fingers with his hands, his voice trembled, and the cat's shrill cries echoed in the sky above Sugisawa High School again, "You didn't tell me! I thought you were just an ordinary little redhead! You deceived my feelings!"

Yayoi: "I'm not, I did not, don't talk nonsense!"

Megumi looked at the big white cat that was meowing crazily on the redhead shoulder, his eyes dulled, "..."

Destroy this world.

Gojo the Cat: I'm going to beat him to death!

Little Redhead: You can hit Sukuna, but you are not allowed to hit my brother!

Megumin: Destroy this world.

Blueberry Yogurt: Let me out, I will continue to fight! [1]

Little Tiger: You are thinking about sh*t, there is no way!

[1] Ryomen Sukuna's Chinese characters is "两面宿傩 liǎng miàn sù nuó". The pronunciation almost the same with 'blueberry yogurt' "蓝莓酸奶 lán méi suān nǎi".

Hence why Chinese fans make a joke of Sukuna's name with blueberry yogurt.
