Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

Chapter 275 Old Friend

The woman thanked Yuji Itadori again, picked up her daughter and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, ma'am—" Yuji suddenly stopped her and said, "This is your work ID."

He picked up the card from the ground, looked at the photo to confirm it, then ran two steps to catch up with the woman and said, "Ms. Ito, be careful on the road--"

Ito took the work badge and nodded heavily.

Tiger Stick waved goodbye to her, turned to Mingming and shouted, "Miss Ming! Still no news from Teacher Su?"

Mingming swung the giant axe in his hand heavily and responded without turning his head: "The last time Yidizhi contacted him was twenty minutes ago-"

She jumped up suddenly and chopped down the axe vertically, splitting the cockroach curse in front of her in two. She wiped the blood off her face with the back of her hand, "It seems that Miss Kurokawa has not contacted him for a while..."

——Besides, there is Gojo Satoru. I haven't heard from him for a while.

However, given his close relationship with Su Ze and the fact that he bypasses the committee and follows Su Ze's arrangements directly, it is not certain how he is doing now.

Wild Rose supported her knees and stood up suddenly, "Tiger Cudgel, don't worry about that side - Ze-ge and the others are so strong and reliable!"

She turned around suddenly and swung the hammer backwards. The specially made cursed tool was extremely hard, and the "Rabbit" that attacked from behind was instantly smashed into a car nearby.

"I think we should pay attention to the periphery of the battlefield! For example, on our side--" Wild Rose simultaneously threw a cursed nail over there, completely erasing the "Rabbit".

Ming Ming put one hand on his waist and responded, "Ms. Kugisaki is right. The situation outside Shibuya is not very optimistic. Ms. Nitta, who is in charge of overall planning, and Ms. Tenchi, who is in charge of dispatching personnel, have contacted the magicians of each group many times."

Yuji threw another punch and listened quietly to their analysis.

Mingming continued: "Also, Yuji-kun, you should have noticed that most of the people, including Miss Ito just now, can see the curse directly-"

Yuji Itadori seemed to be thinking about something.

Wild Rose also had some guesses and asked, "Is this related to the sudden increase in the concentration of cursed energy in Shibuya?"

Nose used some unknown means to release tens of thousands of cursed spirits of various levels in one breath. Even with the committee's prior deployment, it still seemed stretched to the limit.

After all, "there are never enough sorcerers."

This has remained basically unchanged for thousands of years.

Even though the newly established committee headed by Su Ze intended to reform, and even though the number and quality of magicians were actually increased, the level was only improved from "very insufficient" to "somewhat insufficient".

What’s more, this is an “extreme situation” like the current one.

Mingming exhaled softly: "I don't know what the reason is, anyway, the concentration of cursed energy in the Shibuya area has risen to a terrifying level; the curse that was removed has turned into cursed energy again and dissipated into the air - the people in the "tent" seem to be turning into "acquired magicians."

Tiger Stick and Wild Rose opened their eyes wide at the same time.

Jiujiu Yuki had already proposed two ideas for "completely solving the curse".

The second one, which is what she is currently working on, is to "make everyone a magician."

The current situation coincides with her idea.

"I don't know what the situation is like outside the 'tent'... but the outside world should be in chaos - the 'curse' may not be able to be concealed." Mingming said shockingly.

Not far away, Youyou was standing on top of a street lamp, looking around and keeping watch on the surroundings.

Yuji Itadori now understands more clearly what "acquired magician" means.

-

Ito held his daughter in his arms and ran forward with big strides.

The name on the work badge in his hand was "Ito Ling".

She was panting as she ran.

——"Teacher Su"?

Is that what the child just called?

This surname is not very common in Japan.

And finally, there is the title mentioned by the brown-haired lady.

...Is it "Ze Ge"?

Ito Ling's round lenses flickered in the moonlight, making it difficult to see her eyes clearly.

……is it him?

The girl in her arms looked at her mother's sweaty face and said softly, "Mom, I can walk by myself..."

"It's okay, Mom will protect you!" Sato Ling put her forehead against her daughter.

——Although that guy is indeed unusual, he also helped me "exorcise demons".

But to say that he is the boss of this group... isn't that a bit too weird?

Oda Ling, no, now she should be called "Ito Ling"1, she remembered some small things from many years ago.

……

Note 1: According to Japanese custom, a wife takes her husband’s surname after marriage.

……

JR Shibuya Station, New South Exit.

Ka-

Kusakabe Atsuya slashed down with his sword heavily, and the second-level curse in front of him was instantly removed, and the rich curse power dissipated into the air.

In front of him, Goujuan suddenly opened his mouth: "Stop!"

The cursed body facing him suddenly stiffened, and strange fluctuations of cursed power spread around it.

"Alas!"

The huge panda took advantage of the situation and jumped out from the side, lowering both fists towards the curse at the same time. After a dull "bang", the quasi-first-level curse was easily eliminated.

The cooperation between the two was neat and smooth.

When Gojuan is fighting with his partners, he will often only say non-directly offensive spells such as "stop" and "don't move". This is for the sake of the entire team, he wants to ensure that the load of the spell is within the acceptable range - at the same time, he also trusts his partners.

Panda and Goujuan high-fived each other.

"Okay, you two, don't run too far!" Kusakabe drew out his sword and shouted over there.

Kusakabe scratched his hair hard and complained, "Really...you always throw troubles and troublesome kids to me——"

He tutted his words, seeming to be getting more annoyed. "Forget about Gojo Satoru. As the chairman, why didn't Su Ze send a message for so long? He is the leader! His condition is closely related to morale—"

"Um, Atsuya--" A simple and honest voice suddenly sounded from beside Kusakabe.

Mr. Kusakabe, who was analyzing the situation by himself, was startled. He uttered a "ha" and raised his eyebrows to look at the panda.

The panda elder tapped his chin with his paw and said with a bit of worry: "...Ze Ta, could something have happened to him?"

The dog behind it was also staring at itself with burning eyes.

Obviously want a reply.

"Ahh——" Kusakabe was even more troubled. Protecting the little ghost's safety was tiring enough, and he even needed psychological guidance——

He wiped the knife casually and said, "Don't think too much. Are you still unsure about Su Ze's work? What we should pay more attention to right now is not to let the curse slip out from here - we are all ordinary people behind us!"

Goujuan and Panda felt a little relieved.

Kusakabe looked at the two people who had returned to their positions, and his expression gradually became serious.

——Given Su Ze’s personality, if “nothing really happened”, he would definitely contact everyone on time.

What's more, I heard that now even the command has been transferred to Leyan Temple.

...I hope that something inside is isolating the talisman.

there.

"Hey, Ji--" The panda tapped Goujuan's shoulder, and the latter turned his head to look at it.

"Do you know how many people there are in Shibuya?" it asked curiously.

"Salmon roe--" Goujuan-san didn't know.
