"Mm, I have to contact the slug sage, and I feel like I've been disconnected from this world after waking up not long ago."
Yuuki had revealed a wry smile while looking at Yuta, who had been preparing to step towards the Culling Game Barrier as soon as he had returned, and he said, "You've worked hard, Yuta, and we should raise our glasses and have a heart-to-heart talk again after this incident is over, and we should do it with everyone."
"Mm."
Yuuki at this moment and the him in his memories were gradually overlapping while looking at him, and it was just like they had returned to the time when they had been exorcising cursed spirits together last year.
"I've come!!"
Panda, who had fallen on the ground and was completely fine, had hurried over and had hugged the two of them, and he shouted, "The five Grade 2 people are all here at this moment! What should we do tonight? Yuuki, I'll go and catch them in the forest now, and although Tokyo is already chaotic, the ingredients that should be there are all available in the forest."
"You can just get something together, and I'm going out to prepare some things, and I'll move all of the things, which are in the warehouse, out, and we'll have a grand feast tonight."
Yuuki had waved his hand at Ueno, who had been floating in the sky, after speaking, and he had signaled her to come over.
"Alright, leave it to me."
Panda had hugged Yuta Okkotsu and said with a smile, "Yuta, you truly gave me a fright just now when you were mimicking Inumaki's technique, and we should go and collect the dishes for tonight together in the forest."
"...Mm."
Ueno had flown over after the two had left, and she had hugged Yuuki's neck and had asked, "What's wrong? Big brother."
"Where are the slug sage, Diablos, and Shura?"
Yuuki had rubbed Ueno's long hair, and he asked.
"Diablos-nii went to settle the score with something called the Jujutsu Headquarters, and Shura also went along, and the slug sage's main body is still in Shibuya at this moment, and the split body is guarding the summoning scroll inside the house at this moment."
"Oh? Settle the score?"
Yuuki asked with doubt, "Did anyone come when I wasn't here?"
"I don't know, and Diablos-nii had said the words 'I'll take down the Jujutsu Headquarters' yesterday with Shura and had left, and it seemed that Choso-nii had talked about something with him."
Ueno had shaken her head to indicate that she didn't know anything, and then she said with a smile, "I've been waiting for big brother to come back the entire time! It's just that I couldn't hold on and had fallen asleep first, and I was truly too sleepy."
"Mm, I have to leave again in a few days, and you should stay obediently, Ueno, no... and we should participate in a game together."
Yuuki had recalled that Tokyo High wouldn't be safe either if they all went out, and he might as well take Ueno and leave together and step into the Culling Game Barrier, and he would also teach her just how she could dismember cursed spirits quickly.
"Okay!"
Ueno, whose expression had originally been downcast, had had a happy smile cover her face instantly after hearing that her big brother was going to take her out together.
"Mm, you should go back to the house and bring the slug sage out first, and I'm going to go and ask about your Diablos-nii's movements."
"Okay, big brother, and oh right, I've changed my name, and you should call me Yuuki in the future."
Yuuki had stuck out her tongue and had left directly, and she had gone to bring the slug sage out of the house.
"Heh..., this girl."
Yuuki had raised the corners of his mouth and had revealed an inexplicable smile while looking at Yuuki, who had been leaving, and he had turned his head and had looked at Choso and the others, who had been standing in the infirmary, and he had started to organize the intermittent information in his mind, and he had been unconscious… and his memories seemed to have become somewhat incomplete.
Was this the price of burning the soul...
That guy, Mahito, had actually burned his own soul for a full minute before his oil had run out, and it had been to prove himself to Jogo and the others, who had been standing on the Other Shore...
Had he been competent as a leader...
Every surviving "person" had different views on humans, and some hated them, and some were neutral, but there were few "people," who liked them, and it was because even he couldn't be said to like them…
Humans...
Were an indescribable creature, and all kinds of complex emotions were entangled together, and they were just like a thousand-faced person, and they might be giggling in the previous second, and they might have already thought about how to stab you in the back in the next second, and he also didn't particularly like them…
His incomplete memories had caused him to not be very good at thinking at this moment, and the reason that he had said that he would set off five days from now was to fill up his cursed energy and to organize the fragments of memories in his mind.
Yuuki had leaped to the third floor, and he had looked at Choso and had asked, "What did the Jujutsu Headquarters do when I left, big brother?"
"It wasn't anything big..."
Choso had spoken about the things on the night of October 31, and this had caused Yuuki, who had been slightly puzzled, to understand just what Diablos and the others were preparing to do, and they were probably preparing to kill all of the higher-ups.
But he didn't have time to care at this moment anyway, and Shura would call him if something happened to him, and he should go to Shibuya and handle the slug sage first, or he should go to Kyoto High and negotiate about the Culling Game.
The deaths of the higher-ups were unrelated to him, and the jujutsu world of Japan was completely chaotic at this moment, and there were also too many people, who could replace those old guys, and it was just that he didn't have time to pay attention to them at this moment, and otherwise, he would have the old guys of the Headquarters update and replace themselves directly.
He didn't need the following of others, and it was fine as long as everything operated according to the track, and secular rumors were only what secular people cared about;
It was better to act directly and slap their faces than to waste too much saliva to explain.
"...Is that so, and I'm truly troubling you, big brother."
Yuuki, who had been pensive, had nodded, and he said, "I'll cook tonight, and you can taste my cooking, and it's rare for everyone to be here, and I also have time."
"Is that so, then I'm truly looking forward to the food that you'll make, younger brother."
Choso had felt inexplicably somewhat touched in his heart at this moment after hearing that Yuuki was going to cook.
"Eating..."
Kechizu had scratched his eyes, and then a smile had been raised at the corners of his mouth, and he said, "I'm also looking forward to the food that you'll make, third brother."
"Mm, and although I'm not that confident in other things, I'm still skilled at being a cook, and I'll trouble you with the matters of the Culling Game, and I have to go out for a bit."
Yuuki had instructed them to pay attention to safety and had left, and he had run into Yuuki, who had been hurrying over with the slug sage, on the way, and he had instructed her to have the main body stay in Shibuya temporarily and not leave, and then he had set off towards Kyoto High, and he was going to talk to Principal Yaga;
About his views on this Culling Game and the higher-ups' views on sealing Gojo Satoru.
Maki Zenin, who had also been preparing to leave the school, had walked to Yuuki's side at this moment just as he had left, and she asked, "Jun'e, where's your Yuuki-nii? Why can't I see his figure after I just came down?"
"He just left, and it seems that he has some things to handle, and he'll be coming back to cook personally tonight."
"...Is that so."
Maki Zenin hadn't said anything, and she had stroked Yuuki's head, which had been above her in the sky, and she had set off to leave Tokyo High with the black backpack, which had been storing the razor, on her back, and she had already been very satisfied after seeing Yuuki awaken, and she… could only rely on herself next.
She would always be absent from this dinner, but she had to stand by Yuuki's side openly and honestly, and not stand behind him and look up at him, on the day that she returned next.
She had to grip the meaning of life tightly in her hands. "Huh? That's strange, and is Maki-nee also leaving the school?"
Yuuki, who had been looking at Maki Zenin, who had been walking towards the school's gate, hadn't thought too much, and after all, her big brother had left, but he would be coming back at night, and there was no reason for Maki-nee to leave after hearing that her big brother was cooking;
Yuuki, who had thought back and forth and had felt that there weren't any problems, had put her attention on the happy feelings of her loudly saying that she had changed her surname today, and she had left while humming a ditty and hugging the slug sage:
"La la la~"
Toge Inumaki had left the infirmary and had gone to the forest to find Yuta Okkotsu and Panda, who had been hunting for food, and to be honest… he was very curious about how Yuta had mimicked his technique;
He could accept it if he had practiced for a long time beforehand, but he would have his worldview completely shattered if he could do it after only looking at it once.
Megumi Fushiguro and the others, who had been taking Yuuji and leaving, had also started to discuss the matters of the Culling Game at this moment.
"What's wrong, and you've been dragging me here the entire time."
Yuuji Itadori had sat down on the ground with a thump in the training grounds, and he was clearly displeased about them having him leave forcefully.
"Yuuki-senpai and Okkotsu-senpai have their own things to discuss, and we should talk about the matters of entering the Culling Game."
Megumi Fushiguro said while looking at Yuuji Itadori, who had been displeased, "I don't want to entrust the matters of my older sister to the senpais, and they're already busy enough, so… I want to ask you guys."
Megumi Fushiguro had to have Tsumiki Fushiguro participate in the Culling Game, but that was after the senpais had added the rules and they had leveled all of the enemy forces inside the Barrier, and this meant that they needed one person to take Tsumiki-nee in, and one of them four had to stay behind.
Megumi Fushiguro continued, "I want to ask one of you to stay by my older sister's side and take her into the Culling Game Barrier ten days from now."
"..."
The three had looked at each other and had looked at each other.
To be honest, they also wanted to step inside even though they knew that it was very dangerous inside the Barrier, and after all, their companions had all gone in, and they would feel bad in their hearts if they didn't go in together…
And choosing to withdraw from entering the dangerous Culling Game Barrier at this moment and choosing the safer rear to take care of Megumi Fushiguro's older sister seemed to have become the behavior of a weakling…
Everyone also couldn't say that they wouldn't go to take care of her, but they also didn't want to withdraw from the team and separate from everyone.
They were conflicted… Everyone was looking at me, and I was looking at you, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.
...
Megumi Fushiguro, who had raised this suggestion, was even more silent at this moment, and he was the one among them, who didn't want to withdraw the most.
The four were glaring at each other, and no one had said a word for a long time.
...
[12:33:56]
Kyoto High.
A white-haired boy, who had been wearing a hospital gown and had been wearing slippers, had suddenly appeared at the originally empty and flat school gate.
"The Heian period, when jujutsu was at its peak, huh..."
Kyoto High; Yoshinobu Gakuganji was drinking tea in the principal's office, and he was murmuring:
"The current head of the Kamo family has died, and Tokyo is completely chaotic at this moment, and that guy, Gojo Satoru, has been sealed by Fake Geto Suguru, and dozens of Culling Game Barriers have appeared in Japan."
All kinds of bad news had been echoing in his ears, and Yoshinobu Gakuganji was also very helpless at this moment, and he was in a state, where his heart was willing, but his strength wasn't enough, and he also knew about the news of Yuta Okkotsu returning to the country, and Yuuki had been unconscious in Shibuya, and his news was unknown at this moment.
Japan… was about to change…
"Knock knock—!"
A crisp knocking sound had been transmitted, and Yoshinobu Gakuganji had looked at the tea leaves, which had been sinking in the teacup, and he had said a bad omen in his heart, and then he opened his mouth and said, "Come in."
"Yes."
Kasumi Miwa, who had been wearing a katana at her waist, had opened the door and had come in and said, "Principal, Yuuki has come."
"Oh!?"
Yoshinobu Gakuganji's tightly closed eyebrows had opened after hearing that Yuuki had awakened, and he had looked at Yuuki, who had been standing beside Miwa Kasumi at the entrance, and he had been waving at him with a smile at this moment.
"Thanks."
Yuuki had patted Miwa Kasumi's shoulder and had thanked her for leading the way for him, and he seemed to have come before, but his confused memories had caused him to have difficulty recalling it for a time.
