Dusk had just fallen. Inside the Star Religious Group, silence filled the air.

A group of curse users gathered in the hall, some sitting, some standing, all with serious faces and grim expressions.

The heavy silence pressed down on everyone's chest, making the atmosphere suffocating.

After a long while, Nanako finally couldn't hold back her anxiety anymore. She suddenly shouted:

"Didn't any of you see Geto-sama?!"

"It's been three days!"

"Geto-sama has already been missing for three days!"

"Nanako." Beside her, Mimiko lightly patted her shoulder. "Calm down."

"Geto-sama is strong. Nothing's going to happen to him."

"But it's been three days already!" Nanako's eyes reddened. "Geto-sama has never disappeared this long before! And his phone doesn't even go through."

"Something must have happened to him!!!"

"Ughhh, what do we do? I'm going to find Geto-sama!!"

"You won't find him like this," Mimiko, though just as worried, was a lot calmer than Nanako. "I remember, the last time Geto-sama left, he said he took on a bounty from the dark web, just to earn some extra cash."

"Minami, can you pull up that bounty?" She looked toward Minami.

Minami was Geto-sama's secretary, the one who handled his finances. Normally, Geto Suguru told her most things.

At Mimiko's words, Minami turned on the projector, dimmed the lights, and pointed at a row of photos on the screen.

"Geto-sama decided on the spur of the moment. He didn't tell me the exact details."

"But I've already downloaded all the dark web bounties from the days before his disappearance."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go already!" Nanako jumped to her feet. "We'll grab them all and interrogate them until they spill where Geto-sama is!!!"

Her eyes swept across the screen, immediately locking onto the first picture of a black-haired girl. "Let's start with this one—this 'Tsukishima.'"

"No. That one has to go last." Minami cut her off.

"Huh?" Nanako scowled. "Why?"

"Because she belongs to Gojo Satoru."

"And she's also a newly promoted Special Grade sorcerer."

"Special Grade?!" The curse users were stunned. "She's actually Special Grade?!"

Nanako raised a brow in disbelief. "Seriously? She doesn't look much older than me."

On the side, Miguel, who'd been silent until now, spoke up, "If she's Special Grade, then Geto-sama's disappearance could very well be connected to her."

"We can't act rashly. Otherwise, we'll all be in danger."

"Then what do we do?!"

"We watch her in secret first. Find her weakness before making a move."

Just then, Minami suddenly let out a gasp. "Everyone, look at the screen!"

Everyone turned their heads.

Tsukishima Ikki's file and bounty had just refreshed.

The two previous bounties had merged into a single new one.

【Tsukishima Ikki, second-year at Hyotei Academy.

Ability: Heavenly Restriction

Shikigami: Sukima Onna (Grade 1 Imaginary Cursed Spirit, sorcerer unknown) 【currently missing】

Mission: Kill Tsukishima Ikki

Danger Level: SS

Bounty: 400,000

Time Limit: None】

"The bounty... it just refreshed!"

"More than fifty million?"

Inside the room, Gojo sat with one leg crossed over the other, listening to Ijichi's panicked report, totally amazed. "Wow, it's going up so fast."

"But still not higher than mine."

"This isn't something worth bragging about." Ijichi sounded exhausted and speechless. "Gojo-san, is it really okay to just leave things like this?"

"Tsukishima-san is still just a kid!"

"Even if it's unavoidable for sorcerers to deal with some dark stuff, letting her be put on a darknet bounty list is a little too much, don't you think..."

"Ijichi, are you saying you're unhappy with how I arranged things?"

Ijichi went quiet, then after a pause said again, "Anyway, the bounty is already over fifty million. That's enough to tempt a lot of dangerous curse users. Not to mention, Tsukishima-san only just joined the jujutsu world. She doesn't even know much about sorcery yet—it'll be way too easy for her to get hurt..."

"Mm, mm, what you're saying makes a lot of sense."

For once, Gojo actually agreed with him. Ijichi was instantly caught off guard, his eyes even turning red with emotion.

But the next second, Gojo went on, "That's it, Ikki's back. You hang up by yourself."

"Wow, she's really fast—only took thirty minutes to rush back from Shibuya."

"Looks like tomorrow I can send her to Sendai to buy me edamame cream Kikufuku. I've been craving those forever."

Ijichi: !

'Gojo-san, what exactly are you doing to Tsukishima-san?!'

'Sendai is seriously far from here!'

Through the line, he faintly heard the sound of a girl opening the door, followed by Gojo's upward-tilted voice, "Geez, you're so slow coming back. If you wanna be a special grade sorcerer, this kind of speed won't cut it."

In between, the girl asked curiously, "Are special grade sorcerers really that fast?"

"Super fast~"

Gojo Satoru, acting all serious while totally making stuff up, said, "Take out the time waiting for food, and a special grade sorcerer can do a round trip in three minutes."

Ijichi: 'Besides Gojo-san who can teleport, no one else could ever pull that off!'

'Stop lying to Tsukishima-san just because she doesn't know better!!'

"But you said forty minutes."

"Did I? Then I must've typed it wrong, sorry. Sometimes my fingers just do their own thing."

"It's fine, really." The girl's voice was soft. "Gojo-sensei, since your eyes aren't convenient, you don't need to apologize for typos."

Ijichi: 'Wait, Tsukishima-san, you don't know yet? Gojo-san isn't blind!!!'

'That whole blindfold thing—it's just his weird fashion choice!'

And yet, Gojo Satoru had no intention of explaining.

He sighed vaguely. "Ah... these eyes really are a bit troublesome sometimes..."

Hearing that, the girl hurried to say, "Actually, Gojo-sensei, you're amazing. Your hearing ability is top-tier, even bats would bow down."

"Super awesome!!!"

"Wow~ Ikki-chan, are you comforting me? I'm so touched~~~"

"I'm not comforting you. I mean it sincerely."

"Hahaha, well of course. I am the strongest."

Ijichi: ...

'Gojo Satoru, you damn bastard!!!'

Inside, Ijichi was panicking again. 'Tsukishima-san, don't just believe everything Gojo-san says!'

'He's totally messing with you!'

'Really messing with you!!!'
