I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

"Yes! Lord Sesshomaru!!"

Clutching the fluffy, tail-like ends of their shawls, the two monsters, one large and one small, from the Warring States period, simply left. Presumably, they intended to go to the Bone-Eating Well to first ascertain a way back.

As for Sukuna, who currently occupies Gojo Satoru's body...

The little cat Sukuna in Takagawa Takayuki's hands was unaware of what was happening; it only sensed the presence of its own fingers nearby.

He was about to yell at the boy to take it back!

Then, they found themselves with their mouths gagged and were thrown back into the black plastic bag.

Darkness fell all around in an instant, and they had no idea what was happening outside!

That wretched brat!!

How dare they treat the King of Curses like something to be used and discarded!

I will get my revenge on this humiliation sooner or later...

……

"Liyuan has gone back too."

In the distance, the red-haired youkai girl waved goodbye to him and left with Hagoromo Gitsune.

In terms of beauty, she was in no way inferior to Chizuru; she was a black-haired girl of the same caliber, and she cast a subtle glance at him.

Is that Hagoromo Gitsune?

It seems a little different from what I imagined; it's a bit too calm. The matter between her and Abe no Seimei is indeed worth exploring, but let's talk about it later.

Takagawa Ryu then looked at the somewhat lost and dejected Kirinmaru in the sky.

Clearly defined.

Knowing that he had just "lost," the great demon was somewhat distracted and clearly had no intention of continuing the fight.

Especially after seeing her daughter leave, she only glared at the boy in the distance before turning to leave as well.

"Since we're family, let's talk more. Although people can't always understand each other, they can tolerate each other, and that's the key to family harmony..."

"!!!"

He hissed a threatening expression on his face.

Kirinmaru probably never imagined that one day he would be taught by a young man how to get along with his daughter, and most importantly, he couldn't argue with him!

Because his daughter has a better relationship with him than with him!

This is infuriating!!!

Watching Kirinmaru's departing figure, Takagawa Takayuki shook his head.

Immediately afterwards, Sukuna, who had taken over Gojo Satoru's body, was pulled out of the lake. At that moment, because Sukuna had activated the "Two Sides" safety mechanism, his consciousness and soul had fallen into a deep sleep.

Now, it's time to do the final "wrap-up work".

I didn't originally have this idea.

However, after learning about the abilities of his Zanpakuto, Takagawa Takayuki added this one on the spot.

"Eat it, Langhuan."

The pitch-black blade pierced Su Nuo's chest as he lay by the lake. Then, countless golden characters emerged, continuously being absorbed from his body and becoming his own power.

"so slow."

The whole process will probably take several hours?

After all, he was absorbing the abilities of an "SS" level powerhouse, Takagawa Ryu thought to himself, lowering his eyes slightly. Then, he considered which ability he should take from Gojo Satoru or Sukuna first.

The lack of limits is strongly bound to the special constitution of the Six-Eyed One; taking it away would be useless. And with the ability of his own Zanpakuto's Shikai, he cannot take away such a special constitution as the Six-Eyed One.

Therefore, we can only choose Sukuna's own abilities.

【untie】;

【eight】;

【open】;

[Reversal Technique];

And, over the millennia, there are general spells developed by sorcerers, similar to the [Secret Technique: Mixu Gelong].

what……

The domain cannot be taken away either; it is strongly bound to the soul and is not a pure "ability".

Right now, Takagawa Takayuki really wants the [Reversal Technique].

Just before, I was thinking of using this skill to change the courtesan's "absorbing the life force of others" into "giving life force to others," so as to create a perpetual motion machine and restore Taira no Masakado's strength.

But after thinking it over carefully, Gao Chuanlong finally decided against it.

Because the [Reversal Technique] is also very important to Sukuna himself, as he will be needed to bite those who have possessed other bodies in the future—this is also why Takagawa Ryu doesn't intend to take away all of Sukuna's abilities at once and directly [de-harm] him.

With Rime's assistance.

Sukuna, who is currently occupying Gojo Satoru's body, is a very convenient and usable character, just like today.

Moreover, one can learn the [Reversal Technique] by oneself, so there is no need to seize it.

So……

……

Under an autumn night.

In a daze, Rimei felt as if a long time had passed in an instant.

She could only watch from a distance as Lord Sukuna and Kirinmaru suddenly engaged in battle, until...

Did it just end?

Completely unaware that she had fallen under an illusion—the great fox's illusion was certainly not something a sorcerer like her, who didn't even have a "special" level of magic, could see through.

Therefore, from Rime's perspective, Sukuna and Kirinmaru have been fighting all this time.

The fight ended abruptly when the boy somehow managed to stop it.

And now.

The boy entrusted the sleeping Lord Sukuna to him.

"I'll contact you again later."

Takakawa Ryu smiled as he watched Rimei look at him with disgust, then helped Suku Nao's tall figure away.

She was clearly completely unaware that the battle had ended just hours earlier.

But Su Nuo now has lost him forever—

【untie】.

Chapter 122 The fish was hot and clear, and the dream was filled with choking.

When Su Nuo woke up, she felt that she had forgotten something important.

All memories containing the word "solution" have vanished from its soul, because the carrier of memory is "words." No matter who it is, when something comes to mind, what emerges are words composed of characters.

After being sealed away by Takagawa Ryu's Zanpakuto [Langhuan], she naturally lost everything related to it.

Su Nuo just felt a little tired.

They then discovered that, late at night, they were almost back at the high-rise apartment where they had been staying temporarily, but the great demon named Sesshomaru had vanished without a trace.

"It seems they've found a way back and are now going to check the situation."

Rime explained.

"what……"

Sukuna knew this, of course. He knew that Sesshomaru's biggest concern was finding a way back, and that he had told Sesshomaru to find the guy who had brought him to the modern world and was planning to use him for something.

However, it was only his second goal.

It doesn't matter, since that woman's soul is still inside him anyway. Sukuna could tell that Sesshomaru wasn't the kind of guy who would just abandon her and leave her alone.

and so.

"He will come back."

Let's rest first.

I went to see a play, but somehow we ended up in a fight. What happened next... I can't remember... Hmm... What happened?

The memories, pieced together and implanted by illusion, made the King of Curses' thoughts somewhat chaotic.

However, with only three fingers at the moment, he couldn't detect it.

"Illusion" is an attack that primarily targets consciousness and the soul. For Sukuna, who currently only has three fingers and whose soul is extremely incomplete, it is incredibly effective.

And then Su Nuo fell into a deep sleep once again.

Rimei didn't turn on the apartment lights. Instead, she sat on the sofa in the dark, took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then sent a message to Takakawa Takayuki to report the situation.

The most important thing now is to get the woman's soul out of Lord Sukuna's body.

This is Rime's idea.

And about this...

……

Kinkaku-ji Temple under the autumn night presents a kind of serene and ethereal beauty.

Red maple leaves drift down with the gentle breeze, floating on the lake. In the distance, golden pavilions are hidden in the deep darkness, only faintly emerging by the light of lanterns.

This scene perfectly aligns with Japanese aesthetics.

It should be called "the feeling of profound mystery," right? Or perhaps "wabi-sabi"? But it probably has nothing to do with "mono no aware" (the pathos of things)...

what.

I don't really understand Japanese aesthetics.

Thinking this, Takagawa Ryu saw that Minamoto Chizuru seemed to think, "Since we're already here, let's take Shinomiya Kaguya, Kikyo Moroha, and the others to visit Kinkaku-ji Temple in the distance, just like a vacation."

Instead of going with them, he stood by the lake, thinking about what Sesshomaru had just told him about the high school girl's soul inside Sukuna.

No wonder Tsukumo Yuki called earlier saying that Sukuna, who had taken over Gojo Satoru's body, was acting strangely.

It turned out to be like this...

Does that girl named Hiyori Iki possess the ability to astral projection?

I guess it's just bad luck.

When his soul left his body, it was captured by the demon Marbas, who had made a deal with the body-snatchers, and then directly stuffed into the body of the dead Gojo Satoru.

In any case, the content of the transaction is most likely to be "to revive the soul of an ordinary person in the body of Gojo Satoru".

Don't worry about where this soul came from, or whether it's ordinary or resurrected.

If so, there is no problem.

This perfectly matches Takagawa Takayuki's stereotype of demons.

Although the transactions are indeed fair and just, they still manage to pull all sorts of dirty tricks.

Sesshomaru was clearly very grateful for Iki Hiyori's help, which surprised Takagawa Takayuki a bit, making him think that this guy was actually warm-hearted despite his cold exterior.

But he seemed unable to separate the souls of Sukuna and the girl, who were currently both inside Gojo Satoru's body.

This is indeed very difficult.

Manipulating the soul in a crude way, such as putting it into a deep sleep or directly devouring it, is not difficult. However, to completely separate the soul from the body is a different matter.

Moreover, the fact that it has a body with two souls makes things a bit complicated.

We might have to go find the devil.

After all, they are the true "experts on the soul"...

Takagawa Ryu slightly turned the ring on his finger, which bore the mark of Marbas and was directly connected to this demon god.
