Chapter 257 - Chapter 257: The Cursed Spirit of Minegahara High School

When Shinomiya Kaguya said these words, even Yotsuya Miko could feel that the tone of Shinomiya Kaguya's speech seemed a little off.

Why did she always feel that Shinomiya Kaguya had a taste of throwing herself at Miyauchi Hikage when facing him?

But Yotsuya Miko wouldn't say this out loud.

Her relationship with Shinomiya Kaguya was quite good. If it weren't for Shinomiya Kaguya's help back then, she wouldn't have been able to enter Jujutsu High and change her life so quickly.

She subconsciously thought that Shinomiya Kaguya simply admired Miyauchi Hikage's ability and wanted to have a good relationship with this supernatural being who had a boundless future.

Sakurajima Mai's gaze also lingered between the two for a while, and then she nodded to Miyauchi Hikage as if nothing had happened: "Okay, when I can control my ability, I will definitely give you a friendly price to make a cameo appearance in your TV series."

She also remembered that Miyauchi Hikage was now a Grade 1 supernatural being, second only to special-grades in combat power in the inner world. It was indeed a bit of a waste to let such a person accompany her as a bodyguard for a week.

And indeed, there were differences between men and women, so she still had to pay attention to this aspect.

Although she felt a little regretful in her heart, Sakurajima Mai quickly adjusted her emotions.

Miyauchi Hikage first nodded to Shinomiya Kaguya, indicating that there was someone specifically connecting with Asahigaoka Media, and thanked Shinomiya Kaguya for her support.

Then he told Sakurajima Mai about her arrangements for the next week.

"A week is indeed about enough. If your situation doesn't improve after a week, or even gets worse, I'll find another way to help you return to normal next weekend."

"But don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if your current situation gets worse, it won't be that bad. Anyway, with Yotsuya's eyes, she can definitely see you."

The other way Miyauchi Hikage mentioned was to take Sakurajima Mai to the Metaverse and listen to the heartfelt words of her mother, or even her own Shadow in the Metaverse. If her mother's attitude was too tough, just beat her up and force her to have a change of heart.

This was the origin of Sakurajima Mai's ability rampage. As long as this origin was repaired, Sakurajima Mai wouldn't have so much pressure in her heart.

Maybe she could even awaken a Persona?

However, anyway, the ownership of the Other World app was now in his hands. Even if she awakened a Persona, Sakurajima Mai couldn't enter the Metaverse alone.

And Sakurajima Mai's character was quite good. In the case where he helped her, she wouldn't tell this matter.

It was just that under normal circumstances, Miyauchi Hikage felt that there was no need to communicate too much with Sakurajima Mai, so as to avoid any trouble in the future.

Hearing Miyauchi Hikage's alternative comfort, an awkward smile appeared on Sakurajima Mai's face.

But what Miyauchi Hikage said was indeed correct. No matter what, her situation wouldn't be worse than it was now.

As the night completely darkened, Miyauchi Hikage and his group also left the coast and went to a nearby restaurant to fill their stomachs.

Mashiro and the others had already eaten and were now on the train back.

Fortunately, these girls had their friends around them, and playing by the sea for a day didn't make them feel uncomfortable because Miyauchi Hikage was absent.

Hikari also kept sending photos taken while playing outside today to his phone, mocking him there, saying that everyone was playing on the weekend, and it was pitiful that only he was still working.

Miyauchi Hikage glanced at the three beautiful girls beside him.

It was said to be work, but he didn't seem to have done anything. He just accompanied Sakurajima Mai, the big star, to wander around outside for an afternoon.

He casually sent a few photos of Sakurajima Mai to show his current situation.

Naturally, Hikari, who had forgotten Sakurajima Mai, didn't notice the existence of the beautiful girl in the photo, and just sent a few question marks to Miyauchi Hikage, indicating that she didn't understand what he meant.

"It's okay. Save these photos first. When you come back to look at them in a few days, you'll know what I mean."

He didn't know what kind of distorted mentality Miyauchi Hikari would have when she recalled her favorite actress and saw these photos again.

After an afternoon of experiments, Miyauchi Hikage confirmed that Sakurajima Mai's information still existed in this world and had not been erased.

Sakurajima Mai's ability only eliminated her own presence, making people forget her and also not notice her traces on the internet.

From this point of view, the upper limit of Sakurajima Mai's ability was indeed not low, and even vaguely had the meaning of rule-level.

After the four of them finished dining together, Miyauchi Hikage originally thought that he would go home after the Grade 2 sorcerer came over to greet them. But unexpectedly, after the Grade 2 sorcerer rushed over, she also brought a commission to exorcise a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit by the way.

This female sorcerer, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, looked like a person with a relatively serious personality. Her gaze first fell on Miyauchi Hikage, and then on the other three girls.

Obviously, knowing the commission in advance, she could notice Sakurajima Mai's existence.

However, the effect of Sakurajima Mai's ability on people refreshed its CD after sleeping once. Whether to apply a reminder again after waking up tomorrow depended on the other party's reaction after getting up tomorrow.

"Mr. Nanami meant that you should have solved many low-level vengeful spirits, but probably haven't fought Cursed Spirits head-on. Taking this opportunity, you can also experience the feeling of exorcising Cursed Spirits."

The female sorcerer knew Miyauchi Hikage's name.

Since Nanami Kento discovered Miyauchi Hikage's existence last month, he had set up a specialized team to target the supernatural rumors under Miyauchi Hikage's videos.

From that time on, she had known Miyauchi Hikage, but Miyauchi Hikage only had some voice in the videos at that time and hadn't really shown his face.

It was only after Miyauchi Hikage naturally completed his supernatural awakening and caused quite a stir in Chichibu that the name of this genius gradually spread.

Then came the news of reaching Grade 1 relying solely on swordsmanship half a month after awakening.

Hearing this news, she, who had lived in the Jujutsu world since childhood but was still only a Grade 2 sorcerer, or a quasi-Grade 1 sorcerer due to talent, was more or less envious.

However, she had long been accustomed to the appearance of these geniuses.

After all, as a peer of Gojo Satoru, she witnessed with her own eyes how Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru carved out a bloody path in the Jujutsu world and became the strongest duo of Jujutsu High, and then how these two embarked on different paths due to different beliefs.

The turbulence set off by Okkotsu Yuta, who became a special-grade as soon as he entered school last year, she also participated in resisting the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons triggered by Geto Suguru.

Now it was just another genius who seemed different from the previous ones.

This referred to his luck with women.

She didn't know how Miyauchi Hikage provoked so many beautiful girls.

She shook her head and continued to explain the situation of this temporary commission.

After finishing, she looked at Miyauchi Hikage.

However, it was not Miyauchi Hikage whose expression changed, but the beautiful girl beside him who looked very pretty but had a power that wasn't very clear on her body.

She knew that this was the object of her protection for the next week.

Child star Sakurajima Mai, whose ability went berserk during the supernatural awakening process.

She also knew why the other party showed such an expression.

Because that Cursed Spirit was discovered by the Grade 3 jujutsu sorcerer responsible for Fujisawa City while patrolling at the Prefectural Minegahara High School where the other party attended today, and reported to Jujutsu High.

To be precise, it was Miyauchi Hikage and the others who first confirmed Sakurajima Mai's existence, and then the Grade 3 jujutsu sorcerer noticed the existence of the Cursed Spirit when he went to confirm the spiritual fluctuation in the place where she frequented after knowing about this.

The strength of that Cursed Spirit was temporarily rated as Grade 2 because the Grade 3 jujutsu sorcerer made the judgment after fighting the Cursed Spirit and retreating completely.

A Grade 3 sorcerer could barely fight a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit. If it were Grade 1, that jujutsu sorcerer would probably be a corpse now.

During the exorcism process, investigating whether there was a connection between that Cursed Spirit and Sakurajima Mai's ability rampage was a commission temporarily received by the female sorcerer on the way here.

"Miss Sakurajima Mai, have you felt anything wrong at school these days?"

Sakurajima Mai shook her head.

Not to mention that she had been forgotten by people these days, even before she was forgotten, she didn't have any friends in school to discuss gossip with, so she naturally didn't know the situation in school.

"Let's go and have a look first. I'm getting tired of cleaning up the vengeful spirits near my house in Beika Town these days," Miyauchi Hikage said, turning to look at Shinomiya Kaguya.

Shinomiya Kaguya seemed to realize something under Miyauchi Hikage's gaze, and immediately took out the projected Nichirin Blade she had been carrying with her recently from her car.

"Hikage, you use it as a weapon first. This should have been a weapon for you originally."

She knew that although Miyauchi Hikage should possess some storage and projection abilities relying on the holy sword, he didn't seem to want to expose these abilities to others.

As a good woman who could understand what a man was thinking, Shinomiya Kaguya certainly wouldn't let Miyauchi Hikage fall into that awkward situation.

Miyauchi Hikage sincerely thanked Shinomiya Kaguya.

The female sorcerer glanced at the Nichirin Blade taken out by Shinomiya Kaguya and didn't say much.

Although money wasn't as useful in the inner world as in reality, as the basis of life, no one would hate it.

Especially a super chaebol like the Shinomiya family.

Relying on the decline of mystery in the past hundred years, those former supernatural families shrank their influence in the outer world. Coupled with the rapid development speed in the past hundred years or so, a bunch of ordinary people stood at the top of power, and even infiltrated many declining supernatural families in reverse, allowing their descendants to gradually transform into supernatural beings.

The Shinomiya family was currently in the prelude to transformation. Relying on their huge resource advantages, even converted to the inner world, it was still a wealth that could not be ignored.

If Shinomiya Kaguya wanted, she could even exchange resources with others. Special-grade Cursed Tools might be a bit troublesome, but customizing a set of high-grade Cursed Tools for herself was no problem.

This Nichirin Blade commissioned by Shinomiya Kaguya was forged by someone in Jujutsu High for a lot of money.

Although not many special metals capable of conducting and absorbing cursed energy were used, and it could only be barely considered a mid-grade Cursed Tool in the Jujutsu world, because this sword seemed to fit well with a certain breathing style Shinomiya Kaguya was currently practicing, it could be considered a very good weapon if its performance was maximized.

It was just that as a pay-to-win warrior, Shinomiya Kaguya would probably need a long time to maximize the performance of this sword.

It was quite appropriate to give this sword to Miyauchi Hikage now. After all, the power currently displayed by Miyauchi Hikage was almost entirely in swordsmanship, and many people felt that the supernatural ability awakened by Miyauchi Hikage might also be related to swords.

She was just a Grade 2 sorcerer. Although her strength was above Grade 2 Cursed Spirits, she had to concentrate fully on fighting.

With the help of this weapon, Miyauchi Hikage should also be able to reduce a lot of pressure for her in the process of exorcising Cursed Spirits.

Miyauchi Hikage took the Nichirin Blade projected by himself, drew it out, directly entered the Crimson Blade state, then waved it casually twice, and finally performed a sword flourish to return it to the scabbard.

For a weapon of this level, there was almost no difference between the projection and the original body, and even if it was taken for testing, no problems could be found.

After all, this was the power displayed based on Unlimited Blade Works, a Reality Marble infinitely close to a miracle.

Before the magic power ran out, this thing was as real as it could be in the eyes of others. Only Miyauchi Hikage, the owner, could detect the difference.

Even relying on his proficiency in Projection magic, if he re-forged it in Unlimited Blade Works, he could make these projected weapons more useful than the original body.

It was just that he didn't have so much energy to adjust these weapons now, and this Nichirin Blade was enough for now.

Watching this seemingly ordinary sword automatically turn crimson the moment Miyauchi Hikage held it, and the waves of scorching heat coming from Miyauchi Hikage when he waved it.

Except for Shinomiya Kaguya who had seen it once before, the faces of the other girls couldn't help but show surprised expressions.

Looking at the strength displayed by Miyauchi Hikage at this moment, the female sorcerer felt much more reassured about the subsequent exorcism mission.
