Both parties sat inside the shrine. The fading afternoon rays piercing through the window fell on Sanso's face, as he tried to avert his gaze. Next to him, Megumi was sitting looking deep into the old woman's eyes. While the girl stood outside peeking through the door.
"Who are you? State your business. It seems that I have never met you before. And you don't seem to live nearby!" The woman demanded in her husky tone.
'Seriously, hasn't this old hag ever seen him on TV. The greatest Jujutsu terrorist and the head of the Zenin clan is right in front. If it were someone else, they would be shaking in their boots.' Sanso thought.
"I'm Megumi. Nice to meet you. I have heard about you from Nobara. To say the least you possess quite formidable soldiers. Can you tell me where you got those souls. I hope you didn't kill someone." Megumi sneered.
The door slid open and the girl shouted "They were human who voluntarily gave their soul to us"
'What is her problem' both Sanso and Megumi thought.
"Hima shut up and closed the door. Stand outside" the woman shouted. The door was closed. "Now state your business" she added.
"Well, you see I want to bring back a long dead friend of mine. As a Seance user you can bring the dead back." Megumi stated and looked intently at her.
The woman was silent. And then spoke slowly "Don't take me for a fool. Your ambition scaled much higher. Seance is not a petty technique to meet dead friends. And you are addressing Nobara san as if she is your friend. Tell me at once who are you and what are you here for"
Megumi grinned and spoke "Let me re-introduce, myself, I'm Megumi Zenin, the current head of the Zenin clan and the most wanted Jujutsu terrorist"
An expression of unease at once set on the woman's face.
