The brave Simmel wants to resign

You inherently evil humans! I'll personally deal with you all! ————

"call----"

Hei Mu's roar was interrupted.

Within the enormous, abrupt eyeball, a blue figure could be clearly seen flying towards him.

Because he was moving so fast, the residual vision caused his movement to leave a long shadow.

He held the knife in both hands, tilting it towards the ground.

【throat】

The sound of gears turning.

The gears behind Simmel have once again shifted from [Monk] to [Warrior].

Then, his demeanor suddenly changed.

From bottom to top—wave!

The next moment, a fierce and transparent storm caused Hei Musi's lips to roll up sharply, and his eyelids to close tightly in order to fight the pain.

The sound came delayed, then roared and swallowed up all the cockroaches that Hei Mu had released.

The cockroaches, their bodies enhanced by the curse, were as strong as steel, but they were completely annihilated and vanished like smoke in the face of such a fierce wind.

Hei Musi was pressed to the ground by the wind pressure and could not move at all; the muscles all over his body rippled like ocean waves.

boom!!!!!

The mud surged upwards.

Hei Musi, who had already accumulated a lot of injuries from Xia Youjie, was already at his limit, and now he was taken away by Xinmeier with a single blow.

"That's ridiculous..."

Xia Youjie watched this scene and simply stood still.

Won't this make me look like I'm slacking off?

Meanwhile, Simmel had already dragged the remains of Hei Mu to Xia Youjie's side.

"nailed it."

Simmel put her hands behind her back and tapped her waist.

"He really looks like an old man," Xia Youjie remarked.

Upon hearing this, Simmel, who had been smiling kindly, paused in her steps, and her expression slowly turned from gentle to cold.

"...This is the second time you've called me 'old man,' there won't be a third time."

"Why are you suddenly speaking in such a terrifying tone?! Come to think of it, wasn't the last time I mentioned the old man a month ago?! You remember?!"

"Just kidding."

Simmel laughed heartily.

He's not as petty as his old flame.

perhaps.

Xia Youjie took the remains given to him by Xinmeier and devoured the cursed spirit.

"really."

Immediately, as if confirming something, he handed Simmel a dark, indistinct object.

The latter was taken aback when he saw the physical object and asked instinctively.

"This is... a finger?"

"Ah."

Xia Youjie nodded.

At this moment, he held a deformed, purplish-black finger in his hand.

That is...

"Based on my understanding, this should be a top-grade cursed artifact—Su Nuo's finger."

Su Nuo.

This world is said to be the strongest sorcerer in history. Even his corpse turned into a cursed object after his death, possessing powerful cursed energy and toxicity.

What humans would avoid at all costs is a great tonic for cursed spirits.

"It seems that Hei Musi was able to be born as a special-grade cursed spirit ahead of time because of this finger. He was endowed with powerful vitality and is still growing. If we are slower, the situation will be even more troublesome."

"The appearance of two Special Grade enemies in a row, along with Su Na's finger... is not a good sign. We must be being watched."

"Any clues?" Simmel asked.

“…Hmm…” Xia Youjie pondered.

"Can't figure it out?"

"No, it's too much."

"?"

Simmel crossed her arms and asked with concern.

"You guys are really unpopular. I'm worried about you."

"I've already told you not to speak to me in that mature, overly mature tone—anyway, it's necessary to tell the teacher, Wu, and..."

Xia Youjie had already noticed that, after spending a month together, he had developed considerable trust in Xinmeier.

Because of the other party's status as an 'elder,' this trust will gradually evolve into a 'dependence' that is different from that towards Satoru and Shoko.

This must be avoided at all costs.

When Xia Youjie is troubled, he habitually pokes his forehead with his thumb.

"Let's also tell the sorcerers in Kyoto."

"Kyoto..."

Simmel also showed a subtle expression.

Obviously.

The two seemed to have some prejudice against Kyoto sorcerers.

...........

...

The mastermind, deliberately staying away from the battlefield, watched the two figures in the distance.

He rested his arm on the edge of the hospital window, smiling.

“Spirit Manipulation Technique... what a convenient spell.”

"But what's even more outrageous is that shikigami... Heh, humans are really too interesting."

Chapter 26 The Annoying Starter Three

Kyoto, the holy land of magic.

During the Heian period, the imperial court established the Bureau of Yin and Yang, where Onmyōji (Yin-Yang Masters) represented by Abe no Seimei laid the foundation for incantations and is the orthodox source of Japanese incantations, shikigami (spirits), and barrier systems.

Millennia of imperial power struggles and vengeful spirit beliefs have accumulated a massive amount of negative human emotions, making it the region with the most concentrated curse power.

The birthplace of the three starter families, it gathers the oldest jutsu bloodlines and traditions, and is the core of power and tradition in the jutsu world.

At the Tokyo Jujutsu High School that Simmel knew, apart from Gojo Satoru, there were no students from the three founding families.

However, judging from the reactions of Gojo Satoru and others, the members of the three starter families are rigid and have a natural tendency to discriminate, making them difficult to get along with.

This inevitably reminded Simmel of the king of her world once again.

Simmel and Azer made some disrespectful remarks, which even escalated to the point where they were about to be beheaded.

Haita and Frilian risked their lives to get this over with... Tch, even after I defeated the Demon King, they still shamelessly started coaxing me.

From that time on, Simmel developed a natural aversion to the power of the elite.

The reason Xia Youjie and Xinmeier came to Kyoto on this mission was because they heard about the large-scale overflow of cursed spirits here, so they came to help.

But, they clearly came to help—

.......

"Thanks for your hard work."

The shoji screen was pulled open a crack, and a woman in a kimono knelt outside the door.

The fabric was of the finest crepe, and the belt was black and tied very tightly, almost deforming the waist.

The maidservant in the Zen temple kept her head slightly lowered.

"Please wait."

The shoji doors slowly closed.

The woman's figure disappeared on the other side of the paper door.

Simmel and Xia Youjie exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.

—This is the residence of the Zenin family, one of the three great families of Kyoto.

After resolving the highest priority special case, the two rushed here overnight. In addition to needing to report directly on the special case, they also needed to meet with the three families of the Gosan family because the special-grade sorcerer Xia Youjie had come to Kyoto as a representative of the high school.

This is 'etiquette'.

The words and actions of that female attendant were also in accordance with etiquette.

how to say.

Ok.

In short—
