The Goofy Spring Breeze Blows Everywhere, Geto's Sister is Truly Impressive Ch. 53

Prev | Directory | Next

The man's careless words echoed in his ears like a sharp sword piercing through the calm and composure he was desperately trying to keep.

"Snap."

Suguru heard the crisp sound of his sanity snapping inside his mind.

His sister.

The sister who always faced life with optimism, who never pitied or blamed herself even though she was born frail and constantly sick.

The sister who used to smile and say, "Suguru, you'll always be my best little brother."

That same sister had been used and deceived—right where their family couldn't see.

When they were kids, his sister would push Suguru on the swing with her thin little arms. The wind would lift the hem of her sky-blue skirt. Suguru had wanted her to sit instead, said he should be the one taking care of her, but his sister just smiled and said, "No need to rush, it's fine. You can take care of me when you're older."

"I'll definitely protect you," little Suguru had said seriously, trying to look mature.

His sister, one year older than him, had starlight-like warmth in her green eyes. She held down her wind-blown silver hair with one hand and smiled up at him. "Mm, I believe in you, Suguru."

She'd trusted him so much, but he hadn't protected her...

And the reason he hadn't noticed what was happening to her was because he'd been busy. Busy with school at Jujutsu High, busy going on missions to protect non-sorcerers.

—He had protected strangers, people he didn't even know, while his own sister was hurt during that time.

And among those strangers he'd protected...

Suguru shut his eyes. Half of him was burning with rage, the other half frozen cold.

Who knew if some of those he'd protected were part of something like the Star Religious Group?

Ignorant, clueless masses.

M*rderers who hired hitmen.

Disgusting, selfish people with zero worth.

He used to want to protect all non-sorcerers, take responsibility, do what he could for the weak. But now, he was starting to doubt if that goal had ever been right.

Suguru stood stiffly in place, like a silent stone pillar.

His outstretched hand was trembling slightly—not from fear or nerves, but from a deep, uncontrollable wave of fury and doubt rising from his chest.

Cursed energy, at its root, came from human negative emotions. And now, a huge surge of cursed energy gushed out of Suguru.

"...You... bastard..."

His voice was hoarse and low, like a volcano about to blow but still trying to hold itself back.

Toji stood in front of him with the Inverted Spear of Heaven resting on his shoulder. He raised an eyebrow as he watched Suguru's cursed energy spike. "What's wrong? I told you the truth and you're still this mad?"

Toji: Wow, what a hot-headed kid who can't handle the truth.jpg

System: [That is NOT how you tell the truth! What is this, "How to weaponize honesty and make people explode"?!]

"Anyway, you're not sad, right? You're not, are you?" Toji checked again with his usual lazy tone.

Toji: The mission instructions were "Don't let the kid feel sad." As for anger—well, that's not the same as sadness.

Efficient mission worker here, only sticks to the given conditions!

So he just made sure the kid wasn't sad. "Crying? You're not crying, are you? Little bro?"

System: [Yamette! You're just throwing oil on the fire at this point!!]

To Suguru Geto, of course, this all sounded like nothing but mocking and provocation from the enemy. He clenched his fists, teeth grinding, forcing out his words from between his throat and rage, "Doing that to a minor girl—my sister—how the hell can you live with yourself?!"

What even was a conscience? Why ask something like that out of nowhere?

The black-haired man with a scar on the corner of his mouth clicked his tongue. He thought for another couple seconds, then suddenly looked like he'd figured it out. "Oh, I get it. Wait, did you misunderstand something?"

Toji tilted his head, shrugged lazily, and added, "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm already married. Your sister's just taking care of my kid."

System (breaking down): [......Even if it's true, this is the worst time to say it—this just made the misunderstanding ten times worse!! Someone stop him!!]

Already married. Lied to his sister for her money and feelings. Made her raise his kid.

Crack. Rationality shattered completely.

—Those few, simple pieces of information were enough to smash apart the little that was left of Suguru's collapsing sanity.

"Unforgivable... Absolutely unforgivable!!" Suguru threw his head back and roared, m*rderous intent sharp as a blade, a tidal wave of fury setting off a storm of cursed energy. "Go to hell—! You bastard!!!"

Countless cursed spirits burst forth under Suguru's control, clawing and surging toward Toji on the other side of the field—!

"This is gonna be a pain," Toji said as he lifted the Inverted Spear of Heaven. He reached into Curse Womb: Death Painting again and pulled out another blade, shaking off his lazy posture as he focused up.

With two special-grade cursed tools in hand, he hacked a bloody path through the sea of cursed spirits.

At the same time, Suguru used the last of his rationality to move the unconscious Riko to a relatively safer corner.

Then he used the other cursed spirits to mess with Toji's vision and timing—suddenly appearing behind him when Toji was fully focused on the front!

To deal with this guy, he had to deal with that weapons arsenal wrapped around him first! Suguru reached toward the creature tangled around Toji—

Suguru's Cursed Spirit Manipulation allowed him to control and use any cursed spirit he had defeated. And if the spirit was two grades lower, he could bypass the defeat step entirely and just take it by force.

So, by that logic, he should've been able to take this thing wrapped around Toji—

But unexpectedly, it bounced Suguru away!

"!?"

"Choosing close combat against a Heavenly Restriction user—that's your biggest screw-up, little brother."

Toji turned around mid-sentence and slashed at Suguru—but at the last second, the blade shifted away from any fatal spots and only grazed him. Right after, Toji followed up with a heavy smack from the back of the blade and then a brutal kick that sent Suguru flying!

Suguru grunted reflexively, the hit to his gut making him gag, but while airborne he still managed to twist and land on his feet.

Brushing past death had sobered him up just a bit. He frowned and looked up.
