Chapter 22 - JKNS: Chapter 22

Yuuki picked up the backpack on the ground, waved to Ito Shuuichi, and followed the housekeeper into the villa. As soon as he entered, he was shocked.

The floor was so clean that it could be used as a mirror. Four giant pillars carved with flying dragons supported the entire hall, and the dragon's mouths held golden spheres. However, why did the color look so much like gold…

The word "rich" was deeply imprinted in his mind.

As the housekeeper's footsteps went deeper and deeper, Yuuki's face became more and more gloomy.

There was a room at the end of the corridor, and that room was emitting a powerful curse.

Although he could vaguely feel it before outside, he didn't expect it to be in the room of the person he was supposed to protect.

"Um, housekeeper-nee-san, have there been any strange events in this house recently? Like bottles flying up or people disappearing?"

"No, why are you asking these things, Yuuki-san? It's kind of scary."

The housekeeper smiled slightly, and answered with a kind expression.

"No, I was just asking. I heard that strange things often happen in big villas. I'm just a little afraid of ghosts, so I might need housekeeper-nee-san to sleep with me at night."

Yuuki said with a playful expression, "If housekeeper-nee-san doesn't mind, you can call me Yuuki-otouto in the future. I'd be happy to serve you."

"Hahaha."

The housekeeper stretched out her right hand and politely blocked the smile at the corner of her mouth.

She stared at Yuuki with a sentimental expression, and said with a smile, "Since Yuuki-otouto said so, then I'll accompany you tonight."

"Thank you, nee-san. Have you felt anything heavy on your shoulders recently? Even if you don't move your shoulders, you'll still feel tired."

"Indeed, I don't know why, but I've been able to feel that my shoulders are very heavy recently. I went to the hospital, but there was nothing wrong. How did you know, Yuuki-otouto?"

The housekeeper pinched her shoulders, and asked with some curiosity.

Of course he knew, after all, there was a cat perched on your shoulder. Yuuki glanced at the black cat on the housekeeper's shoulder calmly.

This kind of cursed spirit was basically in every household, but it was too weak and wouldn't cause harm to people, so jujutsu sorcerers usually wouldn't care.

Rather than saying that they wouldn't care, it was better to say that they were too lazy to care. It was too weak, and the curse might dissipate one day.

Moreover, they were also people, and it was impossible for them to exorcise curses at all times.

Living like that would be too tiring, and people would die.

"I could tell. I used to rub my mother's shoulders often, so I can tell that your shoulders are a little droopy. Do you want me to rub your shoulders for you, nee-san? It might make you feel a lot better."

"Is that so? Then thank you, Yuuki-otouto."

Just as the housekeeper squatted down, Yuuki stretched out his right hand and exorcised the cat, and then symbolically rubbed her shoulders a few times, and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Hmm, I don't know why, but after Yuuki-otouto rubbed them, I do feel a lot lighter. It's as if the weight on my shoulders disappeared in an instant, it's really strange."

"Is that so? That's good. I'll be very sad if you collapse from exhaustion, nee-san, after all, you're so beautiful."

"You're so glib, you're not learning good things at such a young age. If you become unfaithful, be careful I tear your mouth apart."

The housekeeper said as she pinched Yuuki's face, "My name is Kazekoshi Shiko, you can call me Shiko-nee in the future."

"Okay, Shiko-nee."

Kazekoshi Shiko nodded with satisfaction, retracted her right hand, and continued, For the next half month, Yuuki-otouto, you'll be responsible for protecting Miss at all times.

You can't let her out of your sight.

"Not even when she's taking a bath?"

Yuuki said faintly.

"Yes!"

"…"

"No!"

Kazekoshi Shiko realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly corrected herself.

Then, she grabbed Yuuki's face with her right hand and said angrily, "Good for you, you actually have such thoughts?"

"I was just asking, I didn't mean anything else. Does Miss hate being stared at? I feel like those bodyguards outside are very strong."

Yuuki quickly changed the topic.

"That would be too conspicuous. Miss doesn't like that. Although it's a special period now, and my master-sama, her brother… forget it, this isn't a topic I can talk about."

Kazekoshi Shiko stopped talking, looked at the door that was close at hand, took a deep breath, and changed her previous charming appearance.

She put on a smile and said in a neighborly big sister's tone: "Then, please come in, Yuuki-san."

As soon as he entered the door, it wasn't the morning breeze blowing through the beauty's hair, and seeing the true face of the Miss.

But a grimacing cursed spirit was baring its teeth at him. Its body was in a mist-like state, and Kazekoshi Shiko to the side directly passed through the cursed spirit's body.

Strange!

What kind of form was this?

Yuuki just glanced at it and immediately withdrew his gaze, and then passed through it from inside its body.

It wasn't suitable to start fighting here.

There were two ordinary people, so he should try to suppress the fluctuations of cursed energy in his body as much as possible, otherwise it would be over if they found out that he wasn't an ordinary person.

Even more importantly… He might not be able to beat it!

"You've come. This is our second meeting."

Oto Mi smiled calmly.

"Yes." Yuuki looked at Oto Mi, who was surrounded by cursed spirits, and said, I didn't expect that our first meeting in the alley would lead to me becoming your personal bodyguard at this moment.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Yuuki, and I'm very happy to serve you.

"Hahaha, you're so glib."

Just as Oto Mi laughed, the cursed spirits around her seemed to have been stimulated by something.

The mist-like bodies instantly covered the entire room, and a dense curse swept towards Yuuki.

The sudden pressure made him kneel down directly. He shouted inwardly that something was wrong, but he didn't make a move.

If he made a move at this moment, then these two people would be killed in an instant.

He had to calm down. So many people in the courtyard were fine, so that proved that this cursed spirit wouldn't hurt people.

He would take a gamble and continue to pretend that nothing was happening.

A hoarse voice came from all directions, Don't get close to my daughter.

Kill… no… can't kill people, if I kill people, my daughter will be scared… I can't let my daughter be scared.

As the voice slowly dissipated, the curse that was pressing on his body directly disappeared.

"Yuuki-san, what's wrong?"

Kazekoshi Shiko's concerned voice came from the side, and a fair and tender arm stretched out.

"No… nothing, the floor is a little dirty, so I'm wiping it…"

Yuuki pulled up his sleeves and wiped, looking at himself reflected in the floor, his face was pale, and he didn't know what to say anymore at this moment.

Moreover, he had to report that cursed spirit to Gojo-sensei. It was at least a quasi-first-grade in strength, and he couldn't exorcise it.

[Mission: Exorcise the Cursed Spirit in the Ring alone. Mission reward: 15 points, permanently increase 100 cursed energy.]

"…"

Damn you… Was the system's mother doing well?

Was he able to exorcise this quasi-first-grade cursed spirit?

Yuuki was speechless, and slowly got up and asked, "Um…, my blood pressure is a little high, can you let me go out and get some air?"

Oto Mi said with some concern, "Of course, your face doesn't look too good, do you want to see a doctor?"

"No, I'll just get some air outside."

After Yuuki finished speaking, he pushed open the door and left directly.

The heavy wooden door slowly closed, and the echoing sound of "squeak" reverberated in the corridor.

The strong curse became faint as the distance increased.

He looked at the guards who were standing guard outside through the window.

His heart was complicated.

From the existing clues, that cursed spirit wouldn't hurt people, at least not in front of Oto Mi.

Then there was the system's mission prompt, [Cursed Spirit in the Ring], which meant that the cursed spirit was stored in a ring.

It was a bit like Rika, but how was such a powerful cursed spirit born?

Forget it, he should contact Gojo-sensei.

The phone was dialed, and Gojo Satoru's somewhat uncomfortable voice came from inside.

"Hello, Yuuki-kun, I didn't expect you to leave so early. I'm a little sad that I didn't get to eat the breakfast you made."

"Um, well… I don't make breakfast…"

Good thing he ran fast, otherwise he would have been dragged by a bunch of people to make breakfast, who could stand that?

Yuuki rejoiced inwardly. "Is there anything you need me for?"

"Yes, I've encountered an invincible cursed spirit here, but fortunately, it seems to have its own restrictions and won't hurt people. But the trouble is that it's Oto Mi's mother."

"Although I haven't verified it, that's what the cursed spirit itself said. I'll check it later. Based on the fact that it won't hurt people in front of Oto Mi, my solution is…"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Gojo Satoru interrupted, "Since you have your own ideas, then why are you telling me? Why don't you just go and put them into practice?"

"This…" Yuuki looked at himself reflected in the glass, with a worried expression on his face.

That's right, he was afraid. Faced with a quasi-first-grade, he didn't have the strength to fight it.

But the system had left him with such a mess, to exorcise a cursed spirit with quasi-first-grade strength alone.

It was very difficult… "Are you scared?"

Gojo Satoru seemed to have noticed it, and asked, "If you're scared, then give me the 10 million, and I'll help you exorcise it. I only need one finger to destroy it."

"No… no need, I just… wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Gojo-sensei. Since we've finished talking, then I'll start my plan."

After Yuuki finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly. His originally worried heart was now filled with more speechlessness.

Was it strong for you to exorcise a cursed spirit with one finger?

When I exorcise this cursed spirit, and then draw a powerful ninjutsu with a 12-draw combo, I'll spit fire and kill you.

What was said was done, he would go see where the ring was first.

…..

At Jujutsu High at this moment.

"Gojo-sensei, what's wrong?"

Megumi Fushiguro looked at Gojo Satoru, who had a sneer on his face, and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'll be going on a business trip and traveling for a dozen days in a few days. You'll be training with Maki-senpai then."
