Boom!
A violent explosion made Tomie raise her arm to shield her beautiful face.
Nanami pulled a grenade from his waist and threw it directly at the largest head of the abomination.
The abomination immediately used its tentacles to block it.
The moment the tentacles came into contact with the grenade, it exploded with a huge blast.
Nanami, who had already prepared for this, wrapped his entire body in Cursed Energy, then rushed through the force of the explosion and appeared in front of the abomination.
Nanami swung his blade horizontally.
The short blade accurately struck the seven-three weak point, and the abomination's arm, which had been forcibly given a weakness, was severed on the spot.
Then came the second and third strikes.
Blood flew everywhere, and severed limbs kept falling onto the scorched floor.
The abomination was still struggling. The tentacles that had just been blown open by the grenade lashed toward Nanami's back.
Hearing the rushing sound behind him, Nanami did not pause. He smoothly turned and launched an attack.
Black Flash!
Nanami had never felt in such good condition as he did now.
The abomination before him constantly stirred his desires.
And he had also succumbed to those desires.
However, unlike what Tomie had imagined, Nanami selectively released his desire.
That was the desire for destruction.
Nanami felt as if his brain were burning.
Yet his rationality remained terrifyingly calm.
Just as when Satoru evaluates new students, he usually uses "how crazy they are" as one of the standards.
Most Jujutsu Sorcerers are lunatics.
And how to control that madness is a required lesson for every Jujutsu Sorcerer who becomes strong.
At this moment, Nanami was precisely in that state.
After the first Black Flash, Nanami felt the world change.
His body became lighter, the enemy became slower, and everything around him became astonishingly clear.
Black Flash!
The second Black Flash landed, followed by the third and fourth.
'So this is what a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer is like?'
The abomination before him shattered piece by piece under the Black Flashes, like a tattered rag.
Tomie, far from panicking, nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left before the abomination lost its ability to resist.
She was very satisfied this time. Not only had she learned the strength and combat style of a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, she had also witnessed Black Flash.
Now it was time to leave.
After unleashing Black Flash, Nanami's movements became faster and faster.
He quickly dismembered the abomination before him.
Looking at the abomination still trying to repair itself, Nanami chose not to continue dealing with it and instead went after Tomie.
However, Tomie had already made all kinds of preparations.
A strange suit of armor blocked his path.
Sensing that someone was hidden inside the armor, Nanami did not kill him and only knocked him unconscious.
"Is this boy the missing student?"
He remembered that Tsukiko, who had provided him with information, had come to find Tomie precisely because she was searching for a missing student. He wondered if it was this boy.
After subduing the boy, Nanami continued the pursuit.
However, Tomie had already disappeared.
After confirming that Tomie was gone, Nanami notified the Assistant Supervisor to handle the aftermath.
The Assistant Supervisor, carrying body bags and talismans, walked into the villa that had nearly been torn apart by the two of them.
Then he tightly wrapped the still-proliferating body parts with talismans and sent them back to the nearest branch for unified sealing.
A famous dessert shop in Sendai.
Several men eagerly presented the edamame cream kikufuku they had lined up half the day for to Tomie.
"Thank you. Please let me be alone for a while now."
Tomie smiled at the men around her.
Then she watched them leave, fully satisfied.
"I didn't expect the strongest person to like something like this."
Tomie curiously picked up an edamame cream kikufuku and elegantly put it into her mouth.
The next second, Tomie's expression changed.
Perhaps out of concern for her image, Tomie swallowed the kikufuku in her mouth with difficulty.
Then she immediately picked up a glass of water and drank it thirstily.
"Phew, it's so sweet. That guy actually likes this kind of sweet thing?"
Tomie was somewhat incredulous.
The person whom the Jujutsu Sorcerers praised to the skies, who was so cool and awesome, actually liked this kind of sweet treat?
However, what made Tomie even more incredulous was that in the next second, she saw the white-haired man she had been looking forward to emerge from the alley.
"I'm sorry, sir, today's limited edamame cream kikufuku is already sold out."
"How is it sold out this early?"
Satoru scratched his head in confusion, but he did not dwell on it too much.
After all, this was not the only shop that sold edamame cream kikufuku.
He could just go to another shop and buy some.
"If this gentleman really wants some, perhaps he can discuss it with that young miss."
With a professional smile, the waitress pointed at Tomie, who looked a little doubtful about life, sitting nearby.
Satoru turned his head and saw Tomie with several bags of edamame cream kikufuku in front of her.
"Beautiful lady, you bought so much that you definitely can't finish it all. Do you want me to help you share some?"
'So the strongest person in the Jujutsu world really can be lured with just a few servings of edamame cream kikufuku...'
"Yes."
Tomie smiled sweetly.
"But you have to help me with a favor."
"No problem, leave it to me."
As he spoke, Satoru had already skillfully opened the kikufuku packaging.
"Then come with me."
After saying that, under the envious and jealous gazes of the staff, Tomie led Satoru into a dark and deserted alley.
"This far is enough, right?"
Satoru tossed another snow-white kikufuku into his mouth.
"Are you already that impatient?"
Tomie waved her right hand and tossed her long hair back, then turned gracefully to look at Satoru.
"Yes, yes, I'm already impatient."
Satoru immediately nodded.
"Then come here."
Tomie stepped forward lightly and gracefully, her fair arms reaching out to wrap around Satoru's neck.
The next second, Satoru grabbed her by the neck.
"You, boo hoo."
Immediately after that, Satoru said something that completely shattered Tomie.
"Please, you're so dirty, don't touch me."
The "dirty" Satoru referred to was not external filth.
It was the filth of her Cursed Energy.
That Cursed Energy, transformed from the swollen and twisted desires of countless people, was clearly seen by Satoru's Six Eyes.
This kind of Cursed Energy was so strange and murky that Satoru disliked it very much.
By comparison, Suguru's Cursed Energy looked much better.
Although Suguru's Cursed Energy did not look sweet no matter how one looked at it, it was very pure.
It was a darkness even purer than that of Cursed Spirits.
And Satoru also recognized Tomie, recognized this woman who had recently made those old geezers nervous.
As a Curse User who could make those old geezers uneasy, Satoru had naturally taken an extra look at her.
Now that she had come to him herself, Satoru would of course catch her.
Moreover, this Curse User had even brought spoils of war with her.
Now he did not need to worry about snacks for today.
