The brave Simmel wants to resign

"what!"

She let out a sweet, squealing cry.

"....call."

Seeing this result, Fukuro finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A surprise attack would likely elicit a reaction if the attacker were an ancient sorcerer.

The reason for sending Fushiguro was that even if Fushiguro went all out, his speed would be moderate, giving the ancient sorcerer within Tsumiki a chance to react. Sending Itajimaru instead...

He couldn't catch it himself, and Fuhei was afraid that the ancient sorcerer wouldn't be able to react in time and would be slapped to death.

On the contrary, if it were him, Itadori would definitely protect Tsumiki at the crucial moment.

He won't make a mistake.

—Fukuguro has complete trust in Itajō.

"Tsumiki, I'm sorry, about that just now—"

"poor!"

"Ugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Hei was slapped across the face.

it hurts! !

Although her consciousness is that of Tsumiki, her body seems to have already undergone physical transformation, and her curse power will instinctively strengthen her body—even if this strengthening is poorly done and very painful.

Tsuki looked at Fushiguro with red eyes, "Who tests their own sister like that? You ingrate!"

"That's right! You ingrate!" Seeing that Tsumiki was alright, Itadori triggered his straight man gene and launched an attack on Fushiguro.

"Didn't you agree to it too, Youzhang?"

Fushiguro's complaints went unnoticed, but Tsumiki repeatedly thanked and apologized to Itadori, emphasizing that her good-for-nothing brother acted without thinking, while Itadori touched his head and returned the gesture with a Japanese-style bow.

However... at least it's confirmed.

The Tsumiki from just now and the Tsumiki from now on are both the real Tsumiki.

"By the way, if you want to confirm, why don't you just tell me? I'll call her out."

"What?" This time it was Fuhei's turn to be surprised.

It was at this time—

【puff】

[That's right~ Slaps and all that, Tsumiki, your little brother is really a sadist~]

A grin appeared on Tsumiki's face.

"This is!" Fuhei exclaimed in surprise.

“This is the ancient sorcerer you mentioned inside me, right?” Tsuki said. “She’s a girl, and she can communicate normally. She doesn’t seem like the bloodthirsty person you described.”

Fuhei and Huzhang were also surprised.

The relationship between ancient sorcerers and modern bodies is delicate. After all, the former is the outsider and the latter the intruder. In most cases, the modern body deeply resents and despises the soul within, while the intruding soul hates the sorcerer.

However, examples of people being able to have a normal conversation are rare.

This seems like a good thing.

but...

Fuhei and Huzhang exchanged a glance, still intending to test the waters.

"An ancient sorcerer? What is your name?"

Tsumiki's mouth spoke naturally on her face—

【Wan, if you're an old-fashioned person, you probably know me, right?】

"!!"

"!!"

Fukuro and Huzhang both slightly opened their pupils.

But soon—the two pretended nothing was wrong.

"Never heard of it."

That's perfectly normal, isn't it?

There was no reaction.

My reputation isn't much better, and besides, I don't think those corrupt high-ranking officials would bother to pass on someone else's name—unless it's a nationwide calamity like Sukuna's.

[I have a question, though.]

"What's the problem?"

Fu Hei made a hand gesture behind Hu Zhang's back.

Pass.

know.

teacher.

—Information about a sorcerer named Wan, because of the [unclear text - possibly a typo or incomplete sentence], was obtained by [unclear text - possibly a typo or incomplete sentence].

(Damn it! Of all places, it has to be Tsumiki!! Why is her luck so bad!)

Fukuro knew that Wan was from the Sukuna faction and that the other party was a powerful sorcerer, but he never expected that the other party would happen to be his sister, the person they planned to contact directly.

Of the more than one hundred modern-day victims who are asleep, why is it Tsumiki in particular?

It is 鞯牟贾寐穑�

No, stop complaining, think, think!

(The other party is faking it!)

(Because he learned about the Death Returns and their current situation from Mr. Ijichi, and knew that rashly exposing himself would put him in a passive position, he pretended to coexist with Tsumiki.)

(With Wan's sorcerer level and soul strength, he could absolutely overwhelm Tsumiki's consciousness unilaterally.)

(Are they testing us—are they trying to trick us into giving them points?)

Since Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori would give up 100 points to help Tsumiki break free from the barrier, it's highly likely that Man's goal is the same.

In a normal timeline, Wan's scheme would definitely work.

But—even nine years ago, the situation was different.

The milk was cut off, and the fierce insects began to grow.

(We should pretend we don't know.)

Fu Hei remained expressionless, pretending to be thirsty and drinking water to conceal his facial expression.

(Ms. Simmel and Ms. Gojo will be back soon.)

(No matter who it is, once they return here, it won't matter what their purpose is.)

(Keeping this from Tsumiki was definitely the right thing to do.)

But the atmosphere between those two was quite impressive.

Yes, they should be back here tomorrow.

This conversation was a lie from the very beginning.

Fushiguro remained vigilant towards Tsumiki, and even after confirming that her mind had not been stolen, he still considered the possibility that there were other sorcerers within her.

Simmel and Gojo Satoru will arrive today; at their speed, it shouldn't take more than two hours.

(As long as we can hold them off....)

—This is something Wan shouldn't have known.

but...

Why do you all show such strong wariness towards me?

Tsumiki's mouth broke into a wide smile.

"！！！"

—Neither Fushiguro Megumi nor Itadori had anticipated this.

—Wan's level of mastery as a sorcerer is comparable to that of a top-tier sorcerer in this era.

—In addition, being born in the heyday of sorcery, her observation of the flow of sorcery power was extraordinary, so Fukuro and Itajimaru's feigned composure was seen through in that instant.

—Realizing that they have been exposed.

--she.....

[Replacement]

The natural command was completely different from the original voice that sounded like a friendly older sister next door.

"Tsumiki!!" Fushiguro shouted.

Before she could even realize what was happening, Tsumiki's pupils suddenly went blurry as her consciousness was stolen.

A crushing defeat in terms of the quality of the soul.

"Fu Hei! Back off!"

Tiger Rod also spoke up, but he didn't just shout; he grabbed Fu Hei and threw him backward with brute force.

(The teachers had warned them that this wasn't a warlock they could easily deal with.)

Currently, in addition to Fukuro, Itadori, and the principal, there are also additional Special Grade combatants deployed around the hospital.

If it's a test, then so be it—

【AAAAAaaaaa! ——! ——————]

In a corner of the ward, a large patch of darkness suddenly gushed out from the drain.
