The Goofy Spring Breeze Blows Everywhere, Geto's Sister is Truly Impressive Ch. 12

Tucking the flower pot under his arm, he dragged out his words, "Speaking of those guys upstairs—"

"There's one staying in the school dorms this time," Satoru said, his tone less than pleasant.

The words [Not Welcomed] were practically written all over his face.

"In the school?" Suguru raised an eyebrow, surprised. After all, whenever the higher-ups sent someone over, they usually just dropped off orders or reports—either arrogantly or with feigned decorum—before leaving immediately. Staying around wasn't their style.

Shoko nodded. "Yeah, supposed to be here for two or three days. Officially, it's for an 'evaluation,' but no one really knows what they're actually here for."

"Ugh, that is so unbelievably annoying," Satoru groaned, stretching his words with pure exasperation.

His eyes flicked toward the glowing sunflower again, and he suddenly paused. "Hey, Suguru, how exactly does this thing light up?"

"Oh, it just automatically produces sunlight. Even at night," Suguru replied casually.

"At night too, huh..." A slow grin spread across Satoru's face.

Suguru blinked, then immediately caught on. His own lips curled into a knowing smirk. "Yeah... that could work."

Shoko snuffed out her cigarette, half amused, half warning. "Don't take it too far, you two. That person was sent by the higher-ups."

Satoru Gojo & Suguru Geto, in perfect sync: "Of course not. Just a little sleep quality experiment."

That night.

The room where the higher-up was staying turned into a flickering, strobe-lit disco nightmare.

From the room where the higher-ups lived, a rhythmic flickering light shone—bright, then dark, then bright again—going on like that the whole night—!

The next day, Masamichi Yaga didn't even have to think to find the [culprits].

"You two, confess right now!" He lifted a potted sunflower. "What is this!?"

Suguru smiled and answered, "Obviously, a sunflower."

Yaga slammed the table. "Then why is it glowing? And why did it keep flickering all night long!?"

Satoru lazily waved a hand. "Photosynthesis, duh. Let nature take its course, will you?"

Yaga: "......#" What kind of photosynthesis does that!?

He turned to the only seemingly reliable person in the room, Shoko Ieiri, and tried a calmer approach. "Shoko, explain why the lights in that room were flickering."

Shoko tilted her head slightly and said matter-of-factly, "Did he scream last night?"

Yaga: "? He did."

Shoko: "Then he was probably playing with a voice-activated light."

Satoru immediately jumped in. "Ohhh—playing with a voice-activated light at his age? Come on, does anyone ever think about the struggles of voice-activated lights? Their lifespan? Their feelings? Yaga-ssan, you should show some care for them too."

Yaga slammed the table. "OUR SCHOOL DOESN'T HAVE VOICE-ACTIVATED LIGHTS!"

Suguru smiled and reassured him, "Yaga-sensei, don't get worked up. Just put the sunflower down, and we'll take care of it."

Yaga: "......#" Oh, will you? More like you two are just gonna take this weird glowing thing back and play with it yourselves!

Not a single one of them was reliable!!

But, Yaga also knew his students' usual attitude toward those higher-ups. This so-called [interrogation] was really just for show for the higher-ups.

Honestly, this little [prank] wasn't enough to cause any serious trouble, and the higher-ups couldn't really pin anything on them. If they did, they'd just come off as petty.

Yaga exhaled, plopped the sunflower onto the podium, and before he could say anything, Satoru swung his long legs over the desks, snatched it up, and walked off. "Out of sight, out of mind~ I'll take care of it for you~"

Suguru cleared his throat. Before Yaga could explode, he quickly changed the subject. "Actually, since everyone's here, there's something really important I need to talk about."

His expression gradually turned serious—completely different from the joking tone earlier.

The others immediately picked up on the shift, straightening up as well. Even Satoru set the sunflower aside, waiting for his best friend's next words.

"I need to show you guys something."

Suguru placed his backpack on the table. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he slowly pulled out—

A book titled 'Postpartum Care for Sows'.

"Look at this," Suguru said seriously.

Everyone: "."

Everyone: "......"

Satoru was the first to break the silence, slapping Suguru on the back. "So this was your true calling all along, Suguru! How about we start tomorrow? Turn the back of the school into a pig farm. Next time, we can let the higher-ups stay there!"

Yaga: "......Satoru, cut it out!"

Then he turned to Suguru, massaging his temples and sighing. "Having dreams is a good thing, of course."

"But as a jujutsu sorcerer, for now, I'd appreciate it if you could focus a little less on sows... and on pig farming as a career."

Suguru: "...Who the hell is focusing on pig farming?! No, wait—this isn't what I wanted you guys to see!"

To prove his innocence, he quickly flipped through the book.

Shoko glanced at it. "Hmm, Three Hundred Children's Poems. Not bad. Good way to boost your literary knowledge."

Suguru: "THAT'S NOT IT!! The important part is—" He finally located the page tucked in the middle and showed it to everyone.

[How to Become an Outstanding and Powerful Curse User]

Yaga paused, his brows furrowing. "This is..."

"According to my sister, someone's deliberately spreading this kind of stuff in remote, old-fashioned villages," Suguru said grimly. "They disguise it under either something ridiculously absurd or something plain and unassuming, making it harder for the jujutsu world to track down."

His words carried a lot of weight.

Yaga's expression darkened as well. He immediately understood the implications.

Taking the 'Postpartum Care for Sows' book from Suguru, he scanned the pages before shutting it and nodding. "Got it," he said. "For now, don't spread this around. We don't want to alert the enemy."

The three nodded.

Then Satoru raised a hand. "Since the curse users are already spreading their stuff, shouldn't we start some awareness campaigns that won't freak out ordinary people?"

Yaga blinked, then shook his head. "No. By the rules, information about the jujutsu world is supposed to be kept from regular people."
