The Goofy Spring Breeze Blows Everywhere, Geto's Sister is Truly Impressive Ch. 19

Prev | Directory | Next

Raised in a traditional, patriarchal clan, Naoya had always believed that women should obediently follow behind men, admiring the strong and stepping over the weak. But now, his deeply ingrained ideology was clashing violently with reality.

Who the hell was that? Which family did she belong to? Tokyo Jujutsu High? No way—he'd never heard of someone with speed like that!

A Heavenly Restriction...? No, the only one he ever acknowledged as worthy was Toji-kun!

Confusion, humiliation, fury, and disbelief churned inside his chest. Naoya clenched his teeth hard, fists tightening. His sharp, fox-like eyes scanned his surroundings, seething.

Then, a voice spoke up beside him.

"Uh... excuse me, I think I'm a little lost." A girl's voice. "Do you know how to get to—"

Naoya, still fuming and absolutely not in the mood to deal with some random passerby, snapped impatiently, "I don't know! Don't bother me! There's a sign over there, go read it yourself!"

But the voice wasn't fazed in the slightest. The girl just replied calmly, "Oh, thank you for the reminder. I'll check it out then."

Naoya glanced over absently—

And froze.

His eyes locked onto a silver-haired girl with a ponytail, tied up with a black ribbon. His entire body jolted like he'd been electrocuted. In a flash, he shot out his hand, trying to grab her—

"It's you—!!"

But Chihori, whose entire focus was on finding the strawberry milk factory, was too busy studying her map to notice his expression or movements.

She stepped forward—and whoosh! She vanished at an impossible speed.

Naoya didn't even get the chance to grab so much as a corner of her sleeve, let alone finish his sentence.

His eyes followed the silver blur as it once again disappeared into the distance.

Naoya: "......"

He stood there for a couple of seconds, fists clenched. Then, just as he was about to lower his hand—

The silver-haired figure suddenly reappeared.

Chihori, in a friendly tone, "By the way, friend, your face is all red and you look like your blood pressure's spiking. Make sure to drink plenty of warm water, okay?"

Naoya blinked, momentarily stunned. Then he lunged forward again, trying to grab her— "You—"

Then, that silver-haired figure didn't even pause, turning around and swiftly leaving without a trace.

Naoya's hand froze in midair once again.

Naoya: "......"

After a two-second pause, he lowered his hand again.

The next moment, that silver-haired figure came back—again!

All polite Chihori: "Excuse me... where exactly is that road sign you were talking about?"

Naoya Zen'in: "......#%@!!"

Back and forth, over and over—were you messing with me?!

You definitely did that on purpose, didn't you?!

When Chihori rushed out of the [curtain] and left the small park, she sensed that someone might be following her.

[Someone's following me? Who? They wouldn't be asking for an autograph, would they?] Chihori thought to herself, [Should I represent the Kingdom of Light and give them an autograph?]

System: [I don't think they're following you for a Kingdom of Light autograph—wait a minute, is that Naoya Zen'in behind you?!]

Naoya Zen'in? Chihori recalled a recent manga in her mind, then thought to herself, [Is that the guy who should really be attending the gentleman's class, the Colorful Cloud Pig Pig*?]

(*The nickname "Colorful Cloud Pig Pig" (彩云猪猪 (Cǎi yún zhū zhū) for Naoya Zen'in (Chinese: 禅院直哉 Chányuàn zhízāi) in the Chinese Jujutsu Kaisen fandom comes from a playful combination of his name's abbreviation and the way fans perceive his character.

彩云 (Cǎi yún) - "Colorful Cloud" refers to something flashy or attention-grabbing, which can be a subtle jab at Naoya's somewhat pompous and showy nature. Naoya has a tendency to flaunt his abilities and heritage, and the "colorful cloud" part plays into this flashy persona.

猪猪 (Zhū zhū) - "Pig Pig" is a cute, almost childish nickname, and it's often used to sarcastically diminish someone's seriousness or maturity. The fandom uses it to poke fun at Naoya's arrogance and his somewhat childish tendencies, despite his powerful status. The "pig" part also alludes to the fact that he can be perceived as stubborn or gruff, which adds a humorous layer to the name.)

System: [...Why do you always remember these weird nicknames?]

[Maybe because nicknames are easier to remember than actual names.] Chihori answered honestly.

She wasn't really concerned about who was following her; after all, they probably couldn't catch up anyway (?)

The system had downloaded a map into her mind, so Chihori could navigate by the images in her head.

But sadly, the system didn't have real-time navigation. (To be honest, Chihori didn't trust the idiot beauty system with navigation either—who knew, it might lead her straight into a ditch!)

Unreliable navigation, still serving you.jpg

So, Chihori also kept a paper map in her pocket, just in case she needed to ask someone for directions.

At this point, after zooming through an area at high speed, she realized very rationally that she might be lost.

After all, maps couldn't update in real-time, and small cities changed much faster than you'd think, with alleys and side streets popping up everywhere.

Though the big landmarks hadn't changed, some structures had definitely been altered.

Chihori stopped in her tracks, pulled out the map from her pocket, and decided to ask a nearby passerby.

However, there weren't many people at this hour, and most of them were rushing around, looking like they were on some sort of mission, like machines with engines, having no time to stop.

Chihori glanced around. From her point of view, Naoya Zen'in, the rigid-looking blond guy standing at the edge of the street, actually seemed like the least busy person around, and he even had time to admire the ads on the opposite building.

System: [...He probably isn't admiring the ads! It looks like he's having some deep mental breakthrough!]

Chihori: [Mental breakthroughs, huh? Those cat-headed thinkers were always meant to be eaten.]

System: [What kind of weird mixed-up joke is that?!]

She approached him and asked. Naoya looked like he was in a terrible mood and was pretty rude. But Chihori still managed to get useful information from him.
