The Goofy Spring Breeze Blows Everywhere, Geto's Sister is Truly Impressive Ch. 75

Prev | Directory | Next

Chihori: Anyway, this time you are not swapping out my little brother's brain! No brain-snatching Suguru, you hear me, Brain-chan!!

The original story never said who Brain-chan had been using as a host in the time between Mama Itadori and Suguru. Chihori rubbed her chin and nodded firmly. Alright—next step: keep an eye out for anyone walking around with a stitch across their forehead!

"Shopping trip?" Suguru blinked after hearing the timeline Chihori mentioned. Then he suddenly remembered that group lunch from the break.

—That was the first time Satoru and Chihori met. On the way, they'd even beaten up the black-haired Naoya because of a misunderstanding.

Back then, after lunch and shopping and chatting around the mall, Suguru had planned to head home with his sister, but a last-minute emergency mission had forced him and Satoru to rush back to Jujutsu High.

...So it was on that trip home alone that his sister had run into a special-grade curse?

Suguru's mood turned very complicated. Shock, relief, confusion, and anger tangled together.

He couldn't imagine another version of that day—

While he had been off following orders, handling some mission mess for the higher-ups, his sister might've been walking home alone... only to die quietly on the roadside at the hands of a special-grade cursed spirit.

"..." Suguru's hand, which had been hanging at his side, slowly curled into a fist.

"Suguru?"

Chihori's voice pulled him back to reality. He spaced out for a moment, then returned to his usual polite smile. "Oh, I'm fine. Please, go on?"

Satoru cut in from the side, "How'd you get rid of that guy? I don't think a cursed spirit would just let its target walk away out of kindness."

After experiencing The Divine Punch™ firsthand (?), Satoru now had a clear idea of Chihori's physical power—but dealing with cursed spirits wasn't something brute force alone could handle. You needed cursed energy and technique for that.

For someone under a Heavenly Restriction, they'd need to use cursed tools to actually exorcise spirits.

But did she have a cursed tool? And where would she even get one from? Curious Cat Gojo wanted to know.

Under the three pairs of concerned eyes, Chihori took a few seconds to organize her words, then gave a simple rundown of what had happened back then:

Mahito's fake "let's be friends" speech, what he actually did after she got home, Toji's sudden appearance, and Squash's bizarre skill set... As Chihori went on, everyone's expressions shifted with the story.

When her voice finally trailed off, Suguru paused and directed a question at one particular name: "Toji?"

That guy who may or may not be a Zen'in or a Fushiguro, and allegedly (he only said allegedly because there was some logic in the whole "it was just a contract" excuse) played with his sister's feelings?

Of course, Suguru understood that workplace romance often came with power plays and strategy, so the whole "employment relationship" explanation wasn't nearly enough to kill his hostility.

No way was he going to stand by and watch some "Innocent CEO vs. Scheming Big Sister: dokidoki Battle of Wits (Genderbend Edition)" kind of plot happen!!

System: [Why would you even think of that title?! Can't believe you—serious brows and shifty eyes—have apparently read so many of those books!!]

That said, the fact that that guy had shown up in a crisis involving a special-grade curse still came as a bit of a surprise to Suguru. It somewhat improved his impression of him... though just somewhat.

Back in the hall, that man with the scarred mouth had spoken so casually, but his words still hit Suguru hard.
(System: Also known as emotionally wrecked to his core.)

Come to think of it, he hadn't had a proper talk with his sister about that situation yet—but now didn't feel like the right time either.

Suguru opened his mouth to say something, but then fell silent again.

He'd observe things for a while first. Later, he'd drag that man in, and the few of them could sit down and talk it out properly. That was his plan.

After listening to Chihori's explanation, Shoko tilted her head. "You mentioned something called Squash? Is that some kind of magical plant? Like a sunflower or something?"

She habitually pulled out a cigarette, but paused when she remembered Chihori was present and supposedly sickly. She didn't light it—just held it between her fingers.

"Sounds like it's got some pretty... hmm, solid abilities," Shoko nodded.

"Yep! Squash is a solo fighter!" Chihori said cheerfully. "Its paper compression feature is super useful. A total space saver."

When it came to that special-grade curse, Suguru still wore a polite smile, but his tone went cold, "Next time you can just toss him in a shredder, Sis."

"Well, that might just result in an unshreddable sheet of paper." Chihori definitely remembered what the Squash card had said. She added, "The process of flattening the target and turning them into a paper cutout doesn't actually hurt them. Plus, in paper form, they're in an invincible state—nothing can harm them."

"Yeah, that makes sense. It balances out the final effect, so it doesn't violate natural laws." Shoko spoke calmly. "Absolute imprisonment usually comes with some kind of built-in protection."

Chihori thought for half a second, then her eyes lit up, "Actually, that reminded me of something, Suguru."

The silver-haired girl gestured, "Next time, I could toss the paper cutout into a rock crevice. When it suddenly pops back to 3D, maybe we'll get the Stone Monkey Emerges effect! It could even help break through mountains and reduce manual labor."

Satoru: "Eh? That sounds super fun~"

System: [?]

System: [Very creative. Creative as in creating pain.jpg]

Suguru went silent for a second, then smiled. "Alright, Sister. I'll keep an eye out for rock crevices in nearby mountains and any upcoming excavation projects."

System: [Wait, he's actually planning to test it out??!]

The system had already started envisioning the storyline of Paper-Mahito finishing his three-lap orbit around the earth, then landing and beginning the saga of Journey to the West: Unlimited Stone Monkey Reboot – Now I Help Humanity Break Through Mountains.

Chihori (knocking on the blackboard): [This is called serving the people!]
