Year 2000, August 23rd.
The weather is sunny, the temperature is 37°, and the wind is force three to four, suitable for outdoor sports. Pay attention to sun protection.
"Hey! You idiot woman, Yuki Tsukumo, be careful when you take things. Can't you see the words [Handle with care] written on it?
And you, you bastard brat! I gave you money to help me work! Who told you to bring that stupid snake, and is that stupid snake really okay? She's so sunburnt that she's shedding her skin!
Also, Miss Kuroi, you've arranged those things so well. Why do you have to flatten every corner?! This is too much of a waste of time!
If you have time, go and see your stupid lady. She was just moving fresh food and was fainted by a piece of stinking pork. What an unlucky idiot, to actually encounter pork from a broken cold chain.
And you, you look very smart, why can you even get this kind of accounting wrong? Haven't you learned sixth-grade arithmetic?"
Toji's series of irritable voices sounded, and in this slightly scorching afternoon, it was like hot oil splashed on cold water, "sizzling" non-stop.
Hearing this, the veins on Yuki Tsukumo's forehead bulged. She turned her head fiercely and roared at Toji:
"You muscle-brained idiot man, shut up! You said you would take us to eat barbecue, but it turned out to be letting us help you finish this day's work?! And without commission?!
If it weren't for Kiyoshi feeling that you are too pitiful, I wouldn't be driven by you idiot here!
Also, are you dizzy from the heat? The glass cups that need to be handled with care are over there. What I'm holding is rice! It's a twenty-kilogram bag of rice! Who would let a girl carry rice! Are you really a human?"
Hearing Yuki's complaint, Toji chose to ignore it directly. He had figured out Yuki's temper. Instead of reasoning with her, it was more effective to talk to Zenin Kiyoshi a few words.
Although he didn't know why, this guy Yuki was surprisingly able to listen to Zenin Kiyoshi's words.
And Toji didn't think it was an excessive thing to let Yuki move flour and grain oil. Among everyone present, besides him, Yuki was the one with the strongest physical fitness.
A woman who can directly carry a motorcycle across three rivers, does she still need him to pity or consider anything?
Obviously, if he really believed the woman's complaint in front of him, then he would be the one with a problem in his head.
"You bastard brat, you help me watch here for a while. Check the ledger here. I'll go make a call and ask how those bastards sent me the goods, to actually send me two boxes of stinking pork.
Remember to get the surveillance footage, otherwise the store manager will say it's my responsibility."
Toji spoke very quickly. This guy didn't wait for Zenin Kiyoshi's answer. After giving instructions, he walked outside on his own.
Before long, Kiyoshi could already hear Toji's roar of arguing with someone outside.
As for him at this time, he found a basin of water and put Orochi's body, which was a little peeling from the sun, into it.
To be honest, Orochi also had a very stubborn personality. She was almost sunburnt to a snake jerky, but she didn't make a sound and just stubbornly lay on Zenin Kiyoshi's head.
If it weren't for Toji reminding him, perhaps by the time he came to his senses, Orochi would have really become a snake jerky.
Looking at Orochi, who was finally slowly stretching her body in the basin of water, a helpless look appeared on his face.
He touched Orochi's gradually moist scales with his hand, and feeling the other party's intimacy towards him, Zenin Kiyoshi smiled slightly.
If we look at the current affection level given by the system, in fact, Yamata no Orochi's affection for him is the highest.
After all, just when Orochi touched his finger, the system's voice once again came to his mind:
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Yamata no Orochi (Remnant Soul) affection +5!
Current Yamata no Orochi (Remnant Soul) affection: 86/100 (Absolute Trust).
When the affection reaches 100, 120% of the Yamata no Orochi remnant soul's ability will be unlocked!
Currently unlocked: 100% Yamata no Orochi (Remnant Soul) ability panel, weak adaptation ability (about 12.5% of the main body)
Note: All ability panel bonuses obtained by the host are from the opponent's current strength level, and are locked to the maximum combat power at the time of obtaining the opponent's affection.
That is, if the opponent dies or their strength weakens, the host will not be affected."
When the system first showed Yamata no Orochi's terrifying affection level, Zenin Kiyoshi admitted that there was a hint of ecstasy and inflation in his heart.
However, to be honest, when he saw the two words "remnant soul," Zenin Kiyoshi had already roughly guessed what would happen next.
The system would definitely not let him exploit such a big loophole. Otherwise, if he only obtained 80% of Yamata no Orochi's power, he would probably be at a half-invincible level in this world.
Except for the peak Gojo Satoru and Sukuna, who he couldn't beat, he probably wouldn't be a match for anyone else.
But unfortunately, those were all fantasies. Just like Yuji Itadori swallowing Sukuna's fingers one by one, the power he obtained was only one hundred percent of Yamata no Orochi (remnant soul).
But this also made Zenin Kiyoshi very satisfied.
Yamata no Orochi was indeed worthy of being the [King of Curses] for a period of time. Although it was only one-eighth of her power, it also had nearly 1.5 times the cursed energy of Sukuna's finger.
According to this calculation, in fact, Yamata no Orochi's complete form of cursed energy is estimated to be about 12 times the strength of Sukuna.
Of course, this is just a simple comparison of cursed energy, and their respective comprehensive combat power cannot be arranged in this simple way.
In actual combat, the innate technique still determines a large part of the balance of victory.
The jujutsu world, to put it bluntly, from the moment a person is born, their innate technique has already determined 70% of their strength.
It is hard to imagine that a complicated and not very effective technique like [Projection Sorcery] and Takaba's [Conceptual Gag God] are things that appeared in the same worldview.
Jujutsu... it's amazing, isn't it?
Counting the cursed energy of Sukuna that cannot be used at any time, Zenin Kiyoshi himself now has:
10% of Hanami + 10% of Zenin Naobito + 10% of Masamichi Yaga + the cursed energy of Mei Mei, Utahime, Nanamin, Gojo Satoru, and others.
Among them, the one that gave Zenin Kiyoshi the biggest boost so far is the 1.5 times the special-grade cursed energy total of Yamata no Orochi (with the cursed energy of one of Sukuna's fingers as the special-grade standard).
