Returning to the shrine with Okarun in tow, as Momo had to keep the curse from killing him, they introduced themselves and explained everything to Granny Seiko, except the fact that Jin got Nurarihyon's power, which meant he omitted some parts related specifically concerning his power from the two.
Facing the newly arrived cursed boy, Seiko's brows twitched.
"Again? Two in a row?" She muttered disapprovingly before addressing both teens who looked expectantly awaiting her response. "Follow me brat. You aren't allowed to leave until we exorcise you."
"Yes!" The cursed boy replied dejectedly as they moved to the main shrine.
Seiko set a few talismans and did a few rituals to keep the curse under control. Finally, the old woman let out a sigh of relief and announced:
"Everything should hold now. So you go to a haunted spot?"
"Not me, but him." Momo answered quickly, pointing Okarun accusingly.
"Hehehe..." He chuckled nervously, averting eye contact away from the two intimidating figures glaring menacing daggers at him.
"His schlong got stolen by Turbo Granny. Apparently the curse can't be lifted until he gets it back."
"Oh, so his dick is gone."
"Don't say it so casually like that!" Momo retorted in disbelief while covering her mouth, mortified by how vulgar Granny Seiko sounded, whereas Jin chuckled silently amused at hearing their exchange.
"Also, I got abducted by this alien and now I've got power."
Facing her granddaughter, Seiko flatly said, "There is no such thing as a UFO."
"But Grandma!!! Aliens exist, you know! They're coming from outer space! I didn't believe it either until yesterday, but my psychic power proves it." She protested fervently.
"I believe that psychic power exists and I am not surprised."
"Just what is your range of believing and not? Just ask Jiji over there, he saw the UFO that abducted me!" She pointed at Jin who minded his own business and realized, "Oh, right. Why is Jiji here?"
Finally his existence was registered in this conversation.
With a smirk, he said, "Obviously I came to see you, Momo. Do you know how much I miss you?"
Momo blushed furiously and quickly looked away. She wasn't used to getting teased romantically by good-looking men like him.
But like pouring a bucket of cold water to wake someone, Seiko interrupted.
"Jiji also got cursed so he came." She explained before turning towards Okarun again. "Now then, that Turbo Granny though... You've gotten involved in something troublesome."
"Right?" Jin added while nodding firmly agreeing wholeheartedly to whatever she had said earlier.
Seiko began to explain what Turbo Granny was to Momo and Okarun, who listened from inside the shrine patiently.
Granny Seiko opened her mouth, "The spiritual force inside the tunnel is so strong I can't even get near it. Also, the bound spirit..." She paused, "Turbo Granny has turned into something else entirely after fusing with it."
An audible gulp sounded off behind Jin as Okarun paled considerably after hearing about the details concerning his missing schlong. His facial features twisted grotesquely displaying utter horror written clearly across pale visage.
"Just give up chasing after Turbo Granny. I don't want to lose my grandkids early... Or so I would say if this brat isn't here."
"Hmm?"
Jin raised his eyebrows when Seiko suddenly pointed at him. He wondered what he had to do with anything currently being discussed among them three.
After all, he was just a bystander that saved them from the UFO, nothing more nothing less. He had no direct connection to their current predicament.
On the other hand, he also wanted to meet Turbo Granny directly. The 100 KM granny, the vicious youkai that often made a mess in the whole of Japan. Not to mention there was also an earthbound spirit there.
'I am curious.'
"But what's in it for me, granny Seiko?" He asked mischievously with a sly grin adorning his face. "I get to stay in your house for now, but I am not your personal helper or errand boy."
However instead of getting angry or disappointed by his refusal as expected, surprisingly enough the old lady merely laughed loudly. She laughed heartily and even went so far as to slap her thigh repeatedly, enjoying herself immensely.
Then she answered mockingly. "Oh~ Don't play dumb with me now, Jiji. I am sure that you understand perfectly why I'm telling ya this."
"Fine, fine." With a playful roll of eyes and shrug of shoulders, he conceded defeat reluctantly.
There was no excuse that could pass the old lady. Her youthful and sexy appearance shouldn't become an excuse to underestimate her intelligence.
Although he wouldn't mind if she were to offer a little reward for him, he also knew this was something he had to experience directly if he wanted to chase Evil Eye away from his house. He might also need Okarun and Momo's help to deal with the giant worm.
'Let's just think of this as a training mission.' Thinking so, Jin accepted.
They talked the plan out.
Their goal: Lure the Turbo Granny without getting caught out of Shono City.
After that, Jin would take Turbo Granny down and free Okarun from his curse with his power.
A pretty straightforward but difficult plan because it required both of them to work together without getting caught.
Once the discussion was finished, Seiko gave Okarun a futon to let him sleep inside the shrine while Momo hit the bed first, leaving only Jin and the grandma awake. They sat around the kotatsu chatting about various things unrelated to occult stuff.
Most of the topics revolved around school life and recent happenings in general.
"So... How do you feel about this world now after having that spirit vision?" She inquired curiously.
"It feels amazing." He answered honestly.
To see everything that was unseen before opened up countless possibilities for exploration.
Whether it's supernatural entities hiding amongst people walking on the streets or monsters lurking within shadows waiting patiently to pounce on unsuspecting victims, being able to observe these phenomena first hand brought immense sense of wonderment.
Not only that, being able to use Spiritual Power or even wielding mysterious powers like Nurarihyon was exciting on its own.
In fact, he felt addicted tapping into his youkai power. He could turn in less than a second now. When he tried it, his appearance changed immediately and he smirked.
"It'd be more incredible if you give me a reward for this plan, Seiko. Say, maybe a little date?" He asked playfully hoping that maybe she would agree just this once.
"Nope! Try again when you're older." She shot down his request flatly. "And don't transform to flirt with me."
"Ehhh, that's too bad. At least let me kiss you."
Before he could move further closer to her, Seiko had already kicked him and he reverted back to his original state. She glared harshly at him before continuing her scolding.
"As I said, you brat. Don't think just because I took pity and sheltered you means that I would give you special treatment! You need to earn what you want in this world, understand?" She barked sternly, glaring down at him coldly making shivers run down spine.
"Alright, alright!"
Having said that, she didn't look too uncomfortable with his request. Maybe after he had proved himself worthy, she may accept it later on.
After all, despite being the oldest character, Jin quite liked her. In fact, she was his favorite MILF character in Dandadan. And since he met her and knew that she looked way better and sexier than he thought, he couldn't help but develop some kind of interest in her.
Some of it was due to his assimilation with Nurarihyon which made him more confident and flirty. When he saw a fine woman, he couldn't help but chase after them, not just limited to younger girls.
With this in mind, Jin bid farewell to the granny before heading to his room.
