The Goofy Spring Breeze Blows Everywhere, Geto's Sister is Truly Impressive Ch. 48

Prev | Directory | Next

Satoru and Suguru, who had received the mission to escort the Star Plasma Vessel, had already taken out the cursed users Q group smoothly, along with the unorganized cursed users that came after them for the bounty.

On the day of the assimilation, at 3:00 p.m., they finally returned to the edge of Jujutsu High's barrier.

"This is inside the barrier now," Suguru let out a breath, "We're finally back safe."

He thought, once the mission was over, he'd let his sister know he'd be coming home tonight.

The Star Plasma Vessel, Riko Amanai, and her caretaker (who was also her friend) Misato Kuroi curiously looked around at their surroundings. Still a middle schooler, Riko pumped her fist energetically. "Alright, now we can totally relax!"

Satoru had his hands in his pockets and made a face. "I never wanna do this kinda babysitting gig again."

Riko put her hands on her hips. "Hey, what's that supposed to mean! You're only a year or two older than me, aren't you?!"

Next to them, Kuroi had finally relaxed too. She pulled a box of milk out of her shoulder bag and handed it to Riko to draw her attention.

Kuroi said, "Thirsty? I picked up this new release on the way here—it's Dog Cocky Cat brand strawberry milk."

"Dog Cocky Cat? I think I've seen their ad before, it's super weird." Riko said as she took the milk.

Satoru's eyes lit up. "Oh oh—this, this is the strawberry milk I invested in! The founder is Suguru's sister, Chihori!"

"Eh???" Both Riko and Kuroi were super surprised.

Suguru gave a warm smile. "Too bad I've been busy lately and haven't had time to go visit—but my sister said she found some really reliable people to handle everything, so I'm not worried."

"Drink up, drink up! I promise it's delicious!" Satoru said to Riko.

Riko remembered what Satoru had said earlier about [not wanting to babysit] and pouted on purpose. "Hearing that from you just makes me not want to drink it anymore."

"That'd be your loss—" Satoru turned around dramatically and said in a drawn-out voice, "exclusive recipe, carefully crafted!"

Riko hesitated for a second. "Is it really that good?" She had never tried this brand before, and before assimilation, she really did want to try as many new things as possible.

...After all, she'd never get the chance to again.

Satoru's voice softened too. "It's really good."

The mood shifted into something a little sentimental and warm—but it didn't last long.

The next moment, chaos broke out!

A long blade suddenly pierced straight through Satoru's left abdomen from behind!

Everyone: "??!"

How was this possible—this was supposed to be inside the barrier of Jujutsu High—!?

With no cursed energy and moving like an invisible man, Toji had avoided the heart and chest area and drove the blade into his abdomen with perfect precision, speed, and force!

"Hm... if it's just one stab, he probably won't die."

Toji spoke in a pretty casual tone, tossing out an extra line without much thought.

"Relax, I'm not here to jack your kidney or anything—though I wonder if Satoru Gojo's kidney is worth as much as his Six Eyes."

Everyone, still blanked out from the sudden attack: "......"

System: [Can you not crack a cold joke at a time like this?! No one's in the mood to laugh!!]

Satoru Gojo, impaled by the long blade, turned to look at the dark-haired man behind him. He curled his lips and said confidently, "Duh, of course my kidney's worth just as much as my Six Eyes."

Everyone: "......"

System leaned back tactically: [You've been stabbed, Satoru Gojo, stop playing along with the cold jokes already!!]

Then, Satoru's expression sharpened. His voice turned low and raspy as he said to Toji, "Have we... met before?"

The first time Toji and Satoru met was when Satoru was a kid. That was the first time Toji had ever been noticed while standing behind someone—he'd truly realized the sharpness of the Six Eyes.

Before Toji could respond, Kuroi suddenly shouted out loud, "—It's you?! That super busty spokesperson for Dog Cocky Cat's corn cicada pupae bitter melon milk?!"

Toji: "."

While Toji was stunned for that one second, Suguru quickly released his cursed spirit: "Satoru!!"

The massive cursed spirit swallowed Toji whole, and Suguru instantly leapt to Satoru's side. "You okay?! Your kidney's still intact??"

Satoru: "Obviously it is!"

"No big deal~" He grinned. "I didn't have time to activate my technique, but I avoided the organs and reinforced myself with cursed energy. It was just like—a needle poking through a sweater? Anyway, don't worry."

The next second, the cursed spirit was split clean down the middle—Toji reappeared with his blade!

—Only, somehow he was now holding a different sword, and he had a new cursed spirit wrapped around him. Satoru narrowed his eyes. Still couldn't get a read on this guy.

From a distance, Riko yelled, "Aren't you the Dog Cocky Cat brand model?! Why are you attacking your investor? Are you trying to kill your boss??"

Landing not far away, Toji turned his head slightly at her words. "I'm not trying to kill my boss. But come on, all workers have those moments where they wanna beat up their boss a little, right?"

Suguru stood up straight and looked at Toji. "If you're not satisfied with something, there are legal avenues you can take. Resorting to violence isn't acceptable."

System: [Why does this feel like some legal awareness show now?! Is this the story of a disgruntled wage worker and his capitalist boss?!]

"Protect Riko. You guys go to Master Tengen first," Satoru said to Suguru next to him. "Since it's a labor dispute, we'll settle this ourselves."

"Don't go yet, I'm not done talking," Toji tugged at the scarred corner of his lip.

Chihori had told him to do some promo, get it on video, and get paid by the number of times it got shown.

Even though these people clearly already knew about Dog Cocky Cat, Toji still planned to get in one more ad plug. More plays meant more money.

His eyes landed on the strawberry milk in Riko's hands.

Riko instinctively tightened her grip on the milk carton. "...What do you want?"

—Wait, could it be that he was super unhappy with the corn cicada pupae bitter melon melon milk and wanted to snatch this strawberry milk instead??

"Alright, stay out of this part!" Satoru stretched out one arm and blocked the front. "You guys go to Master Tengen first."
