On the dark web bounty list?

On... a bounty?

A bounty?!!!!!

Holy crap!

Ikki was completely undone.

What the hell! (ノ｀Д)ノ

Which bastard did this?!

Who the hell dug up my coffin?!

That's a lot of info to digest—she needed a moment.

Thinking back on people she'd offended... could it be Geto Suguru?

No. When Geto came looking for her before, it was to capture her Sukima Onna, and when he saw her, the shock and disgust in his eyes were completely genuine.

It was that person called Kong Shiu whose words had seemed strange.

Ikki wasn't an idiot. Thinking carefully, scrutinizing every detail, after several rounds of pondering, a shocking realization hit her.

Maybe she had already been on the bounty list back then?

So the question was, if it wasn't Geto, then who could it be?

"The jujutsu world is the place that hides the most filth," the woman said, letting go of the strand of hair she'd been playing with and tucking it behind her ear. "For anything they cannot control, they usually choose destruction."

She was putting on airs again.

Since being reborn with Saiyan genes, Ikki's temper had become sharper than before. Especially when hearing stuff like this, she got even more agitated, already thinking about whether she needed to physically teach her to speak properly.

Her fingers twitched at his side—but then her phone rang. Ikki pulled it out, glanced at the caller, and swiped to answer.

"Moshi moshi, Aunt Yoshino."

"Ki-chan." On the other end, Yoshino Nagi's voice was panicked, desperate, "Do you have time now? I want you to come over."

"Something strange seems to be happening at my place."

"Junpei has also been acting kind of weird lately."

"Okay, I'll come over right now." Ikki didn't think twice, turning toward the front door.

Her slightly hurried movements stirred a light breeze.

The woman's light-brown bangs lifted slightly in the wind, revealing a faint, long scar.

She watched the girl's departing back, the smile on her lips deepening.

When did the strange things start happening?

Yoshino Nagi thought carefully, pinpointing the exact time.

It was the day she returned from Narita International Airport. As she exited the airport gates, a short old woman holding prayer beads stopped her.

"Take this," the elderly woman said, her wrinkled eyelids half-open, handing her a protective charm. "It will keep you safe."

The old woman wore a kimono, her back hunched, but her gaze was sharp and commanding, making one unconsciously obey her words.

After giving her the box, the old woman didn't ask for money, didn't request contact information, not even a business card. She turned and got into a luxury car with her grandson.

Full-on prestige.

So, Nagi half-believingly pocketed the charm and went home.

But then, the terrifying things started happening.

At first, it was just objects mysteriously moving around the house.

Then came muffled, barely audible murmurs.

Then came Junpei's increasingly strange behavior. He would often drift into deep thought, sometimes staring blankly at one spot, and occasionally performing odd actions. But when she asked him, he would remain silent, only lowering his head slightly.

This worried her.

Until one day, the glass in her house suddenly shattered, and she vaguely saw a massive black figure rushing toward her.

Luckily, the protective charm saved her, letting her escape danger.

After that incident, Nagi could no longer remain calm. Unable to find the old woman who had given her the charm, she remembered a girl from her time renting a place in the suburbs—Tsukishima Ikki.

Ikki was a well-known shrine maiden in that remote suburban area. Orphaned, she supported herself by exorcising spirits and doing odd jobs.

She had a good relationship with Chief Inspector Sanada and others at the police station, who would occasionally invite her over for meals.

As a neighbor, she would also often invite them over, and had even once considered adopting them—but due to financial constraints, she had abandoned the idea.

Everyone said Ikki was very capable; whenever there was something strange happening in a household, Ikki could surely handle it.

Nagi herself didn't really believe in such things, but she didn't judge someone else's way of life.

Yet, deep down, Nagi had never fully trusted supernatural occurrences.

Not until today, when she experienced it herself.

She never would have imagined that monsters could really exist in this world!!

After leaving the library, Ikki found a corner where no one was watching, slipped her phone into her pocket, lifted her right leg slightly, and in the next instant, the black-haired girl vanished from sight.

Like wind, like lightning—she was in Kanagawa in the blink of an eye, having left Tokyo behind.

Meanwhile, the woman she had been speaking to had only just stepped out of the library.

Her slender heels clicked against the ground, but she stopped after a few steps.

A meter away, a white-haired boy in a monk's robe blocked her path, his expression indifferent. "I heard Geto Suguru has gone missing."

"Ah, there was a little accident," the woman smiled. "But it's fine, I'm already handling it."

"It'd better be," the boy said coldly, glancing at her. "If something goes wrong, our cooperation ends here."

"Don't be in such a hurry," the woman's smile didn't change. "We've already waited this long; a little more time won't matter."

"The plan will proceed smoothly."

The boy studied her for a few seconds before turning to leave. "If it fails, I'll proceed according to my own plan."

Ah...

The woman watched his departing back, then turned and got into her car.

The scenery outside the window blurred rapidly as she rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

No one knew the sorcery world better than her, and no one understood sorcery better than she did. Heavenly Restriction?

She squinted. Gojo Satoru might fool others, but he couldn't fool her.

That wasn't Heavenly Restriction. An unexpected person had appeared—unknown strength, unknown identity. It looked like the plan would have to change.

For now, let them test her limits.

Ikki had assumed Nagi was just dealing with a few minor cursed spirits, something she could handle easily. But when she arrived, she was shocked to see...

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven—seven cursed spirits lined up, circling the room, drooling like ravenous wolves eyeing prime meat.

Good grief... she had poked a curse nest!
