Chapter 123: The "Deceased" Suguru Geto.
"Well? How about working with me to complete what Suguru Geto left unfinished before his death? I need your power."
In a small alley, Nanako and Mimiko looked at Lord Geto, who was supposed to be dead, now appearing before their eyes. Their pupils contracted violently.
They had only come here with curiosity after receiving a message from that woman.
[Although Lord Geto is already dead, someone has inherited his will and his body. Join us, Nanako, Mimiko. On Sugisawa Road, you will see what you wish to see.]
"Bastard! Who are you? How dare you steal Lord Geto's esteemed remains!?" Mimiko was full of rage, pulling a rope from the doll in her arms.
Nanako, meanwhile, opened her camera, and blue cursed energy fluctuated on the lens.
"Now, now, don't be like that."
Suguru Geto held up his hands and said with a smile, "Although I have stolen his body, would you two really attack your most beloved Lord Geto? How about we make a deal?"
"What deal?"
Nanako pressed down on the rope in Mimiko's hand. She wanted to see what this person intended to do with Lord Geto's body.
"Work with me to once again overturn this era, and when the time comes, I will return Suguru Geto's remains to you, completely intact."
A smile lifted the corners of Suguru Geto's mouth, his eyes full of hope for the future world.
The two looked at each other and said, "Why should we believe you?"
"Because I am the one occupying this body now. Isn't that reason enough?"
"...Understood. We will cooperate with you."
The two now only wanted to get Lord Geto's body back. After all, even if they overturned this world, their most beloved Lord Geto would not be there.
After sending the two away, Suguru Geto gazed at Sugisawa Third High School in the distance. He said, "Well then, next, I should find some time to meet my dear Tatsuro-kun. After all, he is very good at keeping promises, hahaha."
...
The next day.
Tatsuro woke up early. Bypassing the sleeping Shura and Lady Katsuyu on the floor, he went into the bathroom, quickly washed up, then got dressed, slung his sword on his back, and went out.
Staying at school was too boring. He would go find Maki and the others. He didn't want to worry about these first-year juniors; it was better to let the professional, Gojo-sensei, handle it personally. He wasn't suitable.
Just as he closed the door, Gojo Satoru's voice came from the corridor.
"Yo! Where are you off to?"
"Going out. Is there something you need, Gojo-sensei?" Tatsuro turned to look.
"Since you're going out, how about you do me a favor and pick up the new student?" Gojo Satoru casually put his arm around Tatsuro's shoulder.
"...I'm going to meet up with Maki and the others. Besides, shouldn't picking up students be your job, Gojo-sensei?"
Tatsuro looked speechlessly at Gojo Satoru, who was being clingy with him. This guy was definitely trying to avoid trouble.
"Isn't this all because of Yuji Itadori? Those old geezers in the higher-ups found out he became a vessel and are now demanding his execution by name. I have to go get tangled up with them today. Those guys are so annoying. How about you help me pick up your junior girl?"
"..."
Tatsuro's left cheek was currently being snuggled by Gojo Satoru, his right cheek being kneaded. He said, "Got it, got it. Can you stop rubbing my face now..."
"Alrighty then! I'll send you the address in a bit. Bye-bye!"
Gojo Satoru, seeing his plan had succeeded, didn't linger and quickly departed.
"...Why do I feel like I've been had..."
Tatsuro was speechless. Then, a message came through on his phone.
[Gojo-sensei: The new student is named Nobara Kugisaki. Pick her up in Shinjuku. I've sent you a photo. Take your time finding her! By the way, help me test her strength. Bye-bye.]
The girl had orange hair and pupils, short hair, her eyes exuded confidence, and she was wearing the Jujutsu High uniform.
Tatsuro glanced at it, put his phone in his pocket, and became even more certain that Gojo-sensei was just too lazy to go pick her up. It was one thing to make him pick up Kurosaki Mafuyu before, but now he had to pick up Nobara Kugisaki too.
A bit troublesome...
...
11:20 AM.
Shinjuku Street.
Tatsuro, dressed in casual clothes with a backpack, appeared on the street. His 175cm height plus his rather mature face also attracted some glances from passersby.
"The muscle definition on his exposed arms is so perfect, and he looks really handsome too."
"Want me to go up and ask for his number for you?"
"Don't. What if he already has a girlfriend?"
"We'll find out if he does..."
Tatsuro's black pupils gazed around, then his eyes locked onto a girl across the street who was looking at her phone. Just as he was about to walk over, a female voice came.
"Hello, handsome."
Tatsuro looked over. A beautifully dressed girl was currently looking at him with a smile. He asked, "Is there something I can help you with?"
The girl pointed behind her and said, "My best friend would like your number. Would it be convenient to share it?"
Tatsuro glanced over. A blushing girl was currently ten meters away from them. He declined, "I'm sorry, I don't like that type of weak girl. Goodbye."
With that, he walked towards the junior girl he was supposed to pick up. The girl who had approached him saw that the boy already had someone he liked, turned to the girl behind her, shook her head, and announced that her love story was over.
"Hello. I..."
Tatsuro walked up to Nobara Kugisaki. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by her, "Sorry, your way of picking up girls is already outdated. Don't think that just because you have a clean-cut style and a black backpack, I'll fall for you. Get aside, don't bother me while I'm waiting for someone."
"..."
What's with this girl? Do I look like I'm here to pick up girls?
Tatsuro hesitated for a moment, then took out his second-grade sorcerer ID and said, "I'm the second-year senior sent to pick you up, Tatsuro. Gojo-sensei is busy today."
"..."
Nobara Kugisaki stared dumbfounded at the second-grade sorcerer ID in Tatsuro's hand. Then, remembering what she had just said to him, she quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, senior Tatsuro! Please pretend what just happened never happened. How about I treat you to milk tea as compensation?"
"It's fine."
Looking at the bowing and apologizing Nobara Kugisaki, Tatsuro didn't intend to blame her. After all, it was rare to see such an interesting junior. With her, that fellow Fushiguro would have his hands full with three lively characters; it would be a wonder if he didn't get annoyed to death.
He said, "It's almost noon. Want to go get something to eat? My treat."
"Food! Okay, okay!"
Hearing she could get some good food, Nobara Kugisaki's eyes began to sparkle. She asked, "What are we eating, what are we eating? I want to eat steak from a high-end restaurant, hairy crabs, caviar, and..."
Is this kid just ordering whatever's expensive...?
Tatsuro was speechless. He knew he shouldn't have been so polite. He should have just dragged her over to exorcise a cursed spirit, test her skills, and then dump her on Fushiguro.
But now that the polite words were out, he'd just have to let his wallet take a major hit this once. Truly vexing.
