In the pitch-black, abandoned sewer, Inumaki Toge was holding a flashlight, cautiously watching the corpse of the "Cursed Spirits" in the distance.
Most Cursed Spirits possess powerful regenerative abilities.
Because their bodies are different from humans, composed of Cursed Energy.
Therefore, after discovering that the enemy had not dissipated, Inumaki Toge maintained a vigilant stance.
However, the "Cursed Spirits" corpse remained there quietly, showing no signs of recovery.
"Twist."
Hesitating for a moment, Inumaki Toge, who had originally wanted to judge where the vital point was based on the Cursed Spirits' regeneration, tentatively launched another attack.
Under the effect of Inumaki Toge's Cursed Speech, the Cursed Spirits' right leg suddenly twisted, and the crisp sound of bone breaking echoed through the sewer.
Inumaki Toge looked suspiciously at the Cursed Spirits in front of him, which still showed no movement.
Seeming to suddenly think of something, Inumaki Toge took out his phone.
Click.
A photo of the "Cursed Spirits" corpse was taken.
Inumaki Toge looked at the photo on the phone in surprise.
His phone was an ordinary phone, so it shouldn't have been able to photograph Cursed Spirits.
Yet at this moment, the appearance of the Cursed Spirits had been clearly captured by his phone.
Inumaki Toge's expression was grave; he knew what this meant.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Maki's voice came from behind Inumaki Toge.
"salmon roe?"
Inumaki Toge turned his head in confusion to look at the approaching Maki.
"It's just that seeing you hadn't come down for so long, Panda was worried about you."
Maki used Panda's name without hesitation.
Although her personality is quite straightforward, if you get to know Maki deeply, you'll discover something.
Actually, she also has a little bit of a tsundere side; although it's not much, it's cute enough.
Should I say, as expected of sisters?
"salmon roe."
Inumaki Toge smiled and expressed his gratitude.
"Alright, is the mission over? What is that over there?"
Maki looked at the few lumps in the distance with an expression of disgust.
It must be said that things like this, slimy and with tentacles, have great destructive power for girls.
It's very annoying.
Inumaki Toge handed the phone to Maki.
After taking the phone, Maki saw the photo that had been taken.
"How is this photo..."
Maki didn't react at first.
Because she couldn't see Cursed Spirits without using cursed tool glasses before, and her sister Mai often ran to the research institute.
So Maki had seen many specially made phones that could photograph Cursed Spirits.
Therefore, she didn't understand Inumaki Toge's meaning at first.
However, after thinking it over, Maki also realized the severity of the problem.
The thing in front of them was very likely not a Cursed Spirits, but a human.
"You go up first; I'll call the Assistant Supervisor and have them transport this thing back to Tokyo Jujutsu High."
Not long after, the Assistant Supervisor brought a few people with body bags into the sewer, collected all the flesh fragments scattered on the ground, and transported them back to Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Waiting for these things would be Shoko Ieiri's full autopsy service.
"Geez, I definitely need to take a good bath tonight."
Having waited for the Assistant Supervisor for over an hour in the sewer, Maki felt that she was now covered in the smell of the sewer.
"Speaking of which, isn't there a hot spring nearby?"
Due to the geographical location of the island nation.
There are many hot springs distributed all over the country.
"A hot spring, huh? I remember it being on the edge of the small town."
Panda pointed at his chin with one hand, recalling.
"Alright, let's go soak in the hot spring to relax in a bit."
Maki made a decision.
"Salmon!"
Inumaki Toge, who also wanted to clean his body well, raised his hand in agreement.
"A hot spring? You guys should enjoy it."
"Aren't you coming?"
Maki asked suddenly.
"I won't go; the hot spring will make me all wet too."
Panda waved his hands from side to side, indicating refusal.
"Always not bathing will make you smelly."
Maki's words dealt a critical blow to Panda.
"That's not true, I won't get smelly."
Panda immediately retorted.
"You will get smelly, so hurry up and go take a bath."
Maki showed an expression of disgust on her face.
"I won't! I spray deodorant properly and sunbathe properly, I am abso~lutely not smelly."
And so, one human and one Panda began a debate on whether Panda would get smelly if it didn't take a bath.
"Excuse me."
Just as Panda was about to be mercilessly dragged away to take a bath by Maki, their Assistant Supervisor, Nitta Akari, appeared in time and saved it.
Nitta Akari, one of the Assistant Supervisors at Tokyo Jujutsu High.
She had slightly wavy, shoulder-length golden hair and a pair of gray-blue eyes.
She was wearing the standard black suit for High School Assistant Supervisors.
She gave the feeling of a cool and capable career woman.
Originally, as an Assistant Supervisor from the Tokyo Jujutsu High faction, she was responsible for assisting Yuji Itadori and others after Ieiri Kiyotaka.
Eichi also chose her to be responsible for assisting the High School first-year students this time.
"What's the matter?"
Maki turned to look at Nitta Akari.
Maki had a good impression of this Assistant Supervisor who had strong observation skills, meticulous thinking, and a straightforward personality.
"It's the latest mission sent by Jujutsu Headquarters. Since the mission location is nearby, they hope you can head there."
Nitta Akari handed a file of intelligence to the three of them—Maki and the others.
"Geez, we just finished a mission."
Although she was complaining, Maki still took the intelligence and began to look through it.
"Although we just finished a mission, this mission took 3 days."
Usually, because the number of wandering Cursed Spirits is relatively small, the exorcism of Cursed Spirits is completed on the same day.
Situations like this one, where the three of them chased the Cursed Spirits for several days before catching and eliminating it, are rare.
"And it was only a Rank 3 mission."
The rewards for missions of different Ranks vary greatly.
Usually, you could do at least 3 missions in 3 days.
As a result, because this strange enemy kept running around, the group only finished one, and the reward had to be split among 3 people.
Although Panda is a Cursed Corpse, under the operations of Yaga Masamichi, it became a student and Jujutsu Sorcerer registered at the High School.
So it also receives rewards for exorcising Cursed Spirits.
It's just that Jujutsu Headquarters is unwilling to give Panda the status of a Jujutsu Sorcerer, allowing a Cursed Corpse to be their equal, so they attribute all of Panda's actions to Yaga Masamichi.
Therefore, the reward for Panda's exorcism of Cursed Spirits is first paid to Yaga Masamichi, and then Yaga Masamichi pays it to Panda.
"Because the content reported by the Window regarding the details of this mission is incomplete, you can take a good rest while waiting for the Window to supplement the mission information."
Nitta Akari said with a smile.
This also made Maki and the others, who wanted to go soak in the hot spring to relax, feel much better.
"When do we leave?"
Maki quickly finished reading the mission details.
"Tomorrow morning. If the Window responsible for observation doesn't send back specific news, we will enter the village directly and rendezvous with the Window."
Summer has arrived again recently, and as people's negative emotions rise, the number of Cursed Spirits has also begun to increase rapidly.
Therefore, there isn't much time for Jujutsu Sorcerers to relax; everyone is running around the country, constantly exorcising Cursed Spirits.
