When Toji finished his phone call with the pork supplier and returned to the supermarket, he was so shocked by the scene he saw that he couldn't be more shocked.
Yuki Tsukumo was chasing a customer with a kitchen knife. Riko Amanai was dragging a bag of flour that was heavier than her in a daze.
Zenin Kiyoshi was appeasing the rioting customers. Only Kento Nanami and Kuroi's situation was still relatively normal.
"Hey! Yuki Tsukumo, what the hell are you doing, you idiot woman?!"
After he had dealt with all this, he counted the supermarket's turnover for the day. It was only 600,000 yen, which was much less than he had expected.
But at least... after deducting the cost of the barbecue, there was still a profit of ten or twenty thousand yen, right?
Unfortunately, at the barbecue that night, Yuki Tsukumo alone ate 50,000 yen worth of food.
That night, everyone ate a lot. That night, Toji's wallet also became a lot thinner.
Kento Nanami didn't eat for long, because he needed to go home and discuss the matter of transferring schools with his parents.
In the early morning of the second day, when Riko and Miss Kuroi had not yet woken up, there were rustling sounds in this villa.
"Have you packed everything? Brat, we're going back."
"Yes, don't worry, I've brought everything. I'll leave the bedding and so on here. Anyway, I'll be coming over for the summer vacation later."
"Kiyoshi, this time when we go back to Jujutsu High, I will definitely not let those idiots in the higher-ups push the blame on you. Those few cases in Beika Town are very strange. It might be related to the black-robed person we saw at that time.
At that time, because of Yamata no Orochi, I had to let them go for the time being. But after we go back this time, we will have more directions for investigation."
When Yuki said these words, I don't know if it was Kiyoshi's illusion, but he always felt that there was a hint of killing intent on her face.
In order to prevent Yuki from doing anything too extreme, Kiyoshi at this moment smiled at her and said:
"I'm just a suspect now. It hasn't been said that the murderer is me. Miss Yuki, don't worry too much. It's just that I'm temporarily confined to Tokyo. But in fact, such a big place can't be considered confinement.
What's more, I will join Jujutsu High later and I am also on good terms with Lord Tengen. Even if the higher-ups are dissatisfied with me, there will definitely be different voices among them. So, in summary, my current situation is still relatively safe."
Hearing Kiyoshi's words, Yuki nodded, but there was still a deep unease in her eyes.
What kind of faces those people in the higher-ups had, she had already seen most of them the moment she stepped into the special-grade.
It can be said that out of ten higher-ups, eleven bad guys can be killed.
But since Zenin Kiyoshi had said so, she couldn't say too much more. The three of them quickly and quietly packed their luggage and, in the slightly cool morning mist, left this villa that had housed them from early July to late August.
After their figures had completely disappeared in the thick fog, Riko Amanai slowly sat up from the bed.
Her eyes were a little red. Looking at the rolling fog outside the window, she only felt as if she had had a long and distant dream.
There was a knock on the door. The sound, which was not particularly special on a normal day, seemed a little empty and lonely at this moment.
Kuroi pushed the door open and walked in. She was holding a glass of milk in her hand and handed it to Riko, who was on the bed, and said softly:
"Miss Riko, you drank some wine yesterday. Drink some milk today to nourish your stomach."
"Nourish my stomach, that sounds like something Kiyoshi would say."
Riko took the milk that Kuroi had handed her, a slightly sad smile on her face.
To this, Kuroi did not refute, but just said with a smile:
"Kiyoshi-kun has a lot of strange knowledge in his head. Maybe it's because he grew up abroad. Anyway, I've learned a lot from him."
Hearing this, Riko did not rush to speak, but took a sip of milk, felt the warm and mellow taste, let out a slight breath, and then said softly:
"Have they all gone?"
"Yes, they've all gone."
"The house feels so empty all of a sudden."
"It is a little, but it might be more convenient for daily cleaning."
Hearing this, Riko smiled and said to Kuroi:
"I'll clean with you next time!"
"Then you'll have to endure the hardship, Miss Riko. By the way, Kiyoshi-kun told me that next summer, he should bring more people over. He said he has also met many interesting friends at Jujutsu High."
Hearing this, Riko had a smile on her face, and then said softly:
"Kiyoshi also told me about this. He even told me to make a few more rooms available. Do we have any extra rooms in our house?"
"Yes, Miss Riko. If we cut your room in half and let Kiyoshi-kun move in, there will be enough rooms."
Hearing this, Riko's face immediately turned red. She looked at Kuroi and said shyly:
"Kuroi!"
The atmosphere of parting was not so sad under their conversation. With the dissipation of the morning fog, the golden light shone on this land, and a new day was about to begin.
2000.8.25, this was the first day that Zenin Kiyoshi and others returned to Tokyo.
Along with them, there was also Kento Nanami, who was originally planning to go to Osaka to study.
Originally, Nanami's parents were still considering it, but after meeting Toji, these two instantly changed their previous thoughts and immediately let Nanami follow Toji to study at Jujutsu High.
At 9:27 in the morning, Zenin Kiyoshi brought the somewhat apprehensive Kento Nanami, and the slightly relaxed Toji, and the three of them came to the school gate of Jujutsu High.
After a short period of training, Nanami already had a lot of understanding and knowledge of some of the common sense in the jujutsu world, but he still had an indescribable curiosity about this systematic sorcerer training base.
Just as Nanami was looking around at the surrounding buildings, two somewhat excited voices sounded from not far away at the same time.
"Kiyoshi! You're finally back!"
"Miss Mei Mei! Look there, it's that guy Kiyoshi! He's back!"
Looking in the direction of the two voices, Kento Nanami saw three very recognizable figures.
One was about the same age as him, but had a strange hairstyle, especially his bangs, which gave people the feeling that they were welded on with a steel ring.
And the other girl who was speaking was wearing a miko's attire, and looked a little bit careless.
