Chapter 57 - Chapter 53: The Niece and the Salaryman

[AUTHOR NOTE: Thanks to Jandro123 for giving me tip on Gumroad. Gojo vs Mirai Round 2 is going on at patreon now.]

Jujutsu High. Training Ground.

Dusk dyed the sky blood-red.

Nobara and Megumi lay on the grass, exhausted.

"Maki-senpai is a monster," Nobara panted.

"Hey! Weaklings!" Maki Zenin stood over them, twirling her polearm. "Done already?"

"Bonito Flakes," Toge Inumaki nodded. Panda sighed. "Give them a break, Maki."

"NIECE! SISTER 13!"

A voice shouted from the edge of the field.

White Zetsu (in Haruta's body) ran over and jumped onto Panda's back.

"So soft!" Zetsu snuggled into the fur.

"GET OFF!" Maki glared. "And stop calling me Niece!"

"But I'm Grandpa," Zetsu argued. "So you're my Niece."

Maki pointed her weapon at him. "You're participating in the Exchange Event too, right? Don't embarrass us."

"Relax," Zetsu picked his nose. "It's just the Kyoto kids. I'll wipe them out."

Maki squinted at Zetsu's face.

"What's that purple mark under your eyes?"

Zetsu touched the triangle markings.

"This? This is a Miracle."

"Miracle?" Maki snorted.

WHACK!

She hit him with her polearm.

"OW! Niece! You have no martial ethics!"

Zetsu scrambled away, using the "King of Qin Walks Around the Pillar" move (running around Panda) to dodge.

"HELP! PANDA! SISTER 13!"

Panda sighed, caught in the middle.

...

The Hot Spring.

Kenjaku sat on a rock, holding a Cursed Object (a finger).

Jogo sat beside him, smoking his pipe.

"Is this the plan?" Jogo asked. "Planting Sukuna's fingers?"

"Yes," Kenjaku smiled. "To lure out the enemies. And to test the vessel."

Hanami spoke in their mind. Is it wise to antagonize Zenin Mirai now? We have a deal.

"Don't worry," Kenjaku said. "Whether Mirai wins or Gojo wins... chaos benefits us."

"Hanami. Be careful." Jogo warned. "You're the best at stealth. Don't get caught."

"Where is Mahito?"

"Playing with humans," Kenjaku chuckled. "In a cinema."

...

Kinema Cinema.

A man in a beige suit and polka-dot tie inspected the crime scene.

Kento Nanami. The Salaryman Sorcerer.

Beside him stood Yuji Itadori (wearing a hood to hide his identity).

"Itadori-kun," Nanami pointed at the seats. "Can you see it?"

Yuji focused his Cursed Energy.

He saw Residuals. Black handprints. Footprints leading to the exit.

"Yes," Yuji nodded. "Cursed Energy remnants."

"Good," Nanami adjusted his glasses. "We track the Curse. We exorcise it. Then I go home. I hate overtime."

"Osu!" Yuji followed him.

...

Jujutsu High.

"Senior Zetsu," Megumi waved at Zetsu. "My Ten Shadows improved. Can you give me advice?"

Zetsu yawned, scratching his head.

"Sure! I taught Mirai everything he knows about shadows!"

Zetsu walked over arrogantly, hands behind his back.

"Watch and learn, kid. The essence of the shadow is—"

SPLAT.

Zetsu stepped into Megumi's shadow and sank straight down.

"GRASS!" (Damn it!)

Zetsu's head disappeared into the darkness.

Megumi stared blankly.
