The Goofy Spring Breeze Blows Everywhere, Geto's Sister is Truly Impressive Ch. 76

Just when it seemed like the topic was finally wrapping up, Satoru put on his sunglasses, waited a bit, then couldn't hold it in any longer, "By the way—nobody's gonna comment on the fact that we all gathered to watch Morality & Law and Pretty Cure together??"

System: [Finally! Someone noticed the highlight!]

Chihori tilted her head. "Eh? Are those two shows not good?"

Satoru: "They're good."

Chihori: "Then there you go. Everyone's happy."

Satoru: "True."

And the topic closed... perfectly.

System: [? Did Satoru Gojo seriously get convinced by that logic?! How did that even work??]

Chihori: [Because our brainwaves match.]

As the conversation ended, Shoko's voice cut in calmly, "Logically speaking, shouldn't we be focusing on the origin and applications of those strange plants instead?"

Everyone: !

—Yeah. Everyone had gotten way off track!!

The air fell silent for a beat, then Satoru spoke first, "Actually, I've been wondering for a while now—those plants don't have cursed energy. They're just like regular plants. But they can still hit cursed spirits. Why?"

His voice was full of curiosity as he looked to Chihori, the only one here who could possibly explain.

Chihori paused in thought for a moment, then smiled as she replied, "Because they come from Crazy Dave. They have powerful souls."

Satoru clapped his left hand into his right palm. "Ohh, makes perfect sense now."

System: [No it doesn't, how is that a satisfying explanation?!]

"Information is always being updated. Maybe we just didn't know enough before," Suguru said with a light chuckle.

Shoko nodded slightly. "If these plants can be used against curses, the impact could be significant. If they could be mass-produced, then perhaps—" she paused, then smiled, "the balance of power in the jujutsu world could shift."

"Mass production, huh..." Suguru went quiet for a while. Eventually, he seemed to make up his mind, nodding. "Alright. I'll do my best to get mad a lot, and launch Satoru into the sky countless times."

Satoru: "?"

Chihori: "Ah—no need!"

Even if the plants were originally born that way, that didn't mean it had to stay that way moving forward—

Chihori explained things briefly to the others, using the manual that the system had pulled up in her head.

The plants required a certain amount of sunlight to summon, and they also had cooldown periods.

Since Chihori was the cardholder, she could directly summon plants barehanded as long as she had enough sunlight. Everyone else, however, needed to have at least one existing plant first, and then use sunlight to replicate it.

Take Fume-shroom, for example. If Chihori had 75 units of sunlight, she could summon one right away. But for anyone else, not only did they need 75 sunlight, they also had to apply it to an existing Fume-shroom in order to generate a new one through duplication.

"That sounds super cool," Satoru grinned. "Chihori-chan's awesome superpower!"

After calmly analyzing it in his head, Suguru said, "We'll talk more about this later. For now, let's keep this ability a secret from the higher-ups."

Everyone there knew what a rotten bunch the higher-ups were, and none of them wanted those people finding out too soon. Suguru especially didn't want those decaying geezers doing anything to his sister.

Shoko added, "Still, maybe we could plant some at Jujutsu High for now?" She raised an eyebrow, suggesting, "I mean, just a few simple ones—the ones they already know about."

"Eh?"

Sunflowers. Satoru and Suguru had once pranked the higher-ups by putting them in one inspector's house and turning the place into a disco light show.

Later, when the higher-ups sent someone to investigate, Satoru and Suguru just said they found the plants while out on a mission.

The higher-ups didn't detect any cursed energy and just assumed the plants were weird-looking. That incident had been brushed off pretty quickly.

Chihori blinked. "Ohh—so before things really change, we'll make sure we have enough sunlight on our side."

The second-year students at Tokyo Jujutsu High submitted an official application form, saying they wanted to use a patch of land to plant greenery, decorate the school grounds, and enjoy the joy of farming.

At the time, their homeroom teacher—soon-to-be-principal Masamichi Yaga—felt a surprising sense of pride: these brats were finally growing up a little, putting their energy into something halfway decent.

They even wanted to beautify the campus.

Yaga gladly approved the request.

The next day—

Yaga noticed the light outside was way too bright, and he suspiciously pushed open the office window to glance down at the field the three from Jujutsu High had just gotten approval to use.

—And saw the whole plot absolutely packed with swaying, grinning, big-faced sunflowers!!

Masamichi Yaga: "?"

Masamichi Yaga: "Satoru! Suguru! And Shoko—who the hell corrupted you, too!! What the hell is this!!"

"What the hell are all these?!" Masamichi Yaga called the three students into his office and pointed out the window at a field of sunflowers downstairs.

"Those are sunflowers, Yaga-sen. You've seen them before, haven't you?" Satoru stood there all chill, then leaned over to Suguru and muttered, "Geez, is this what happens when you get old? Forget stuff like this? How's he gonna be principal like this..."

Suguru tilted his head and whispered back, "Yeah, totally. And he's taking over next month, isn't he? Tokyo Jujutsu High's future looks real grim..."

Yaga: "#"

Yaga: "I can hear you! Also, Satoru, Suguru, could you be any more obvious?"

Shoko shrugged and stated the truth, "They weren't even trying to hide it, Yaga-sensei. They wanted you to hear."

Yaga: "#"

Yaga: Knew it. A bunch of pain-in-the-ass brats, all of them!!

After two years of mental warfare with these three, Yaga took a deep breath to calm himself, then went back to the original topic. "I know it's that... weird sunflower. You used it to prank the research guys from the higher-ups. But back then, there was only one."

He pointed outside. "—So tell me, why is there a whole freakin' field of them now? And how did it all get planted in like, a day or two?!"

Outside, flashes of sunlight flickered wildly, casting shifting light and shadow across Yaga's face like some kind of art film.
