The three of them placed the cushioning pads in the place where Kinji was supposed to fall with the fastest efficiency, then left and shouted loudly for the others not to approach, preparing their weapons to prevent an enemy attack.
Everyone here didn't want to fight, but they were willing to dedicate themselves for the future of this group, after all... the present was much better than the days of hiding and being afraid of dying one day.
Miyahara Kazuya, who was the leader, stood at the front, because he was the strongest, a leader without strength was destined to be a joke.
Kinji, who was about to land, also naturally saw their actions, glancing at the underage children standing in the distance, roughly understanding that they had been huddling together not to hunt other sorcerers, but to live.
"Thump!!!"
Even with the support of the cushioning pad, a one-meter-deep pit was still inevitably smashed out, the aftershock dust sweeping in all directions.
Miyahara Kazuya, whose face had been covered, still had a smile on his face, waving away the dust by his mouth with his right hand, asking, "Let me ask, what's your reason for coming to the Culling Game?"
"Looking for someone."
Kinji walked out of the pit, patting the dust off his body, taking off his sable fur coat, saying, "Do you know where Hiromi Higuruma is?"
"I know, but... what are you looking for him for?"
Miyahara Kazuya, who had been the first to possess a hundred points in the Fujisawa Barrier, how could he not know, and he had taken the initiative to win him over to participate in his team this afternoon, but he had been rejected;
It was because of his "I only judge the guilty" that they hadn't fought, and he hadn't seemed to be bad, and he had only been judging this world in his own way.
"To snatch the hundred points in his hands!"
Looking at the large team, Kinji said, "You can head to the Second Barrier in Tokyo to meet up with my juniors in a few days, it's safe there."
"You've come specifically to add a rule..."
Miyahara Kazuya, looking at the man before him, who seemed to have an organization that specialized in dealing with this kind of situation behind him, asked with a serious and responsible attitude towards his own team, "How can we be sure that it's safe there, and which organization in the country do you belong to? What's your operation code?"
"...Stop, stop, stop!"
Kinji had started to get a headache looking at the guy before him, who had started to give a lengthy speech, saying, "I only need to know where Hiromi Higuruma is, and it's none of my business whether you go to the Second Barrier in Tokyo or not."
"...Wait a moment."
Miyahara Kazuya, who had been looking at the man before him, who hadn't wanted to answer this question, also knew that they might fight if he had asked too much, so it would be better to follow him to Hiromi Higuruma's side, and they could join hands to resolve this guy if the situation hadn't been good, reducing casualties.
Saying, "My name is Miyahara Kazuya, and as you can see, there are a few too many people here, so the target will be too big if we walk together, and we're not the only ones huddling together, so I'll arrange things first, and I'll take you over together later."
"My name is Kinji Hakari, and you can also call me Kin-chan."
Kinji couldn't help but marvel in his heart while looking at the guy, who had been willing to take the lead and show him the way, and smart guys were truly good, and he had been shouldering the backbone of this team, understanding the general situation of this Barrier, and everything had only been for the sake of the big picture, and it would definitely be very good if he could be dug over to his side to guard the place.
Miyahara Kazuya, who had been leaving, had shouted loudly at the people nearby, "I'm going to leave temporarily, and everyone should take turns standing guard according to the plan, and the children shouldn't run around at night, and you'll create a burden for the adults, and that's it."
"Yes!!"
Everyone had responded loudly, and the smiles on their faces had visibly been a satisfied evaluation of this shelter, and the children had shouted, "We won't run around, Brother Miyahara," and had then walked inside the nearby houses, and the women and the elderly had also followed closely behind, and the men had started to discuss the matter of taking turns standing guard;
They firmly believed that everything had been advancing in the best direction!!
"Alright, I'll take you over."
Miyahara Kazuya had come to Kinji's side, actively patting his shoulder to indicate that he had been trustworthy, and he had then walked at the front to show the way, saying as if he had been chatting about everyday matters, "You seem to be very powerful, and you didn't have any problems after falling from such a high place, and you have to know that many sorcerers had directly died from falling in the past."
"Died from falling? Then how have so many people survived after entering the Culling Game? Most of the sorcerers here would have died from falling, right?"
Kinji had looked at the men, who had been standing guard, and none of them had seemed to be people, who could have fallen from a height of a hundred meters and still have been alive, especially those women and children.
"Non-sorcerers can step inside directly, and after all, they can't see Kogane, and the locations where the sorcerers fall are also roughly divided into seven, and we've occupied one place, and the height of the fall is completely random, and some are high and some are low, and whether they can live depends entirely on fate."
Miyahara Kazuya had been trying to get close to him along the way, wanting to ask some questions that would have been useful to him, intentionally and unintentionally saying some things about the organization, wanting to know whether it had truly been safe on his side.
After all, there had been several people, whom he couldn't provoke, in this Culling Game, and those madmen would go crazy and their brains would go haywire when they had been fighting for their lives, so it couldn't be said to be absolutely safe, and the people behind this guy had actually directly occupied one Barrier, so it could be imagined just how powerful they had been.
Kinji hadn't been stupid either, and he had only responded "I can be considered to be relatively powerful in the jujutsu world," giving him even more to guess.
The appearance of the word "jujutsu world" had also caused Miyahara Kazuya to determine that they had been sorcerers, who had existed before the birth of this new world, and he had also wanted to see his standard of being relatively powerful and then aim at the standard of the strongest person behind him.
After all, he had also been a relatively powerful swimmer in this Culling Game.
...
Half an hour later.
After pushing open the gates of a temple, candlelight had been illuminating it, and a man, who had been wearing a suit, could be seen to have been lying in a bathtub that had been filled with water, and he had seemed to have been very exhausted, his pupils looking up at the ceiling.
"Someone is looking for you, Higuruma."
Miyahara Kazuya, who had stepped into the room first, had greeted Hiromi Higuruma, who had been lying in the bathtub.
"Looking for me?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Hiromi Higuruma had turned his head to look, his pupils locking onto the man by Miyahara Kazuya's side, saying, "Let me say first, I'm a lawyer, and it costs 500 yen every thirty minutes to chat with me."
"...Oh, you should wait."
Kinji, who had seen that the person he had wanted to find had been quite professional, had instinctively taken out money from his pocket, and after all, he hadn't liked to beat people, whose brains had been filled with knowledge, and these people had been very valuable.
"I'm joking."
Hiromi Higuruma had instinctively felt that this person had been very interesting after seeing that the person had truly been preparing to take out money, saying with a smile, "I only wanted to try to play the role of a hateful unscrupulous lawyer. I've become not very concerned about many things recently, so I'm letting myself go and challenging some things that I had thought were absolutely impossible to do in the past."
"..."
Kinji, who had already taken out a 10,000 yen bill, had only felt that he had been an idiot at this moment, scratching his head and saying directly, "Hiss…, I might as well get straight to the point, and it was my miscalculation to have been led by the nose. Hiromi Higuruma, you should give me those hundred points."
"...Reason."
Hiromi Higuruma hadn't refused, but rather, he had asked about the reason, and after all, these points had only been extra gifts for him, who had been judging sinners, and it wouldn't have mattered if he had given them all away if the reason had been suitable.
"The money that I earn will transform into waste paper if the Culling Game continues to operate, and I want to stop this game."
Kinji had stuffed the money back into his pocket, throwing the sable fur coat in his hand to the side, tearing open his clothes to reveal his sturdy muscles, saying, "If you don't give them to me, I'll have you experience my passion."
"...I refuse."
Hiromi Higuruma, looking at Kinji, who had been like a hoodlum, had felt from the start that he hadn't been a good bird, and after all, he, who had been a lawyer, had seen too many people, saying directly, "I didn't expect you to be a good bird in the first place, and you've probably done many sinful things in your life, right?"
"Just fighting or something, and then what?"
Kinji hadn't denied it, and he wouldn't deny it, and after all, he had been prepared to snatch these hundred points by force from the very start!!
"Fighting, huh... isn't a big deal either, and after all, hoodlums can only do this kind of thing."
Hiromi Higuruma had looked at the burning candlelight on the side, saying, "In my opinion, the start of the Culling Game is even more suitable for a hoodlum like you, because the law has become ineffective, and you can do whatever you want, and is money that important to you?"
"It's not important, but the disappearance of money will cause me to lose my passion."
Kinji had clenched his two hands, shouting, "Who can ignite their passion when the thing that they're chasing after vanishes in their hands!!"
Miyahara Kazuya, who had seen that the two had been about to fight, had actively retreated, and he had never seen Hiromi Higuruma's technique, but he had only possessed a hundred points after just four days, so he truly lacked confidence if he had fought him.
"...Since that's the case, then we can only use a court trial to resolve our current problem."
Hiromi Higuruma had been tidying the suit, which had been soaked in water, and he had walked out of the bathtub, and his shikigami, which had symbolized the absolute scales, had appeared behind him, and a gavel, which had been used by judges to convict people, had also appeared in his hand, and majestic cursed energy had gathered.
Kinji, who had felt that things had been bad in an instant, had put his two hands together;
The two had shouted together:
"Domain Expansion \[Deadly Sentencing]!"
"Domain Expansion \[Idle Gambling]!"
Looking at the new world, which had been opening, Miyahara Kazuya's pupils had shrunk, and this was a domain, which he hadn't stepped into.
The two's domains had been deployed at the same time, and the domain effects, which had been guaranteed to hit, had been offsetting each other, and a tug-of-war had started at this moment.
"So you also know this move."
Hiromi Higuruma, who had been gripping the wooden gavel, had felt for the first time that this kind of result would be born from the collision of each other's domains, and the effect of his own technique had been ineffective at this moment.
The courtroom was a serious and sacred territory, prohibiting all violent behavior, and it had been the same for both him and himself.
However, the courtroom would transform into a gathering place for hoodlums if it had lost its original sacredness, and this scale of absolute justice would also tilt.
Neither he, who had been a lawyer, nor he, who had been a judge, would allow a fight in such a sacred place, and the staining of blood... would have caused him to feel sinful.
To actively release the domain was the only method to prevent the absolutely fair courtroom from being stained with blood.
Hiromi Higuruma hadn't hesitated, and he had directly released his own domain, allowing Kinji's domain to completely occupy the leading position, and a large amount of information had started to pour into the two's minds.
Even Kinji hadn't expected that that guy would actually release his own domain actively, and why had he done it?
Kinji hadn't entered the courtroom of judgment a few times, because he hadn't been an honest person in the first place, and he had started to cause trouble as soon as he had entered Tokyo Jujutsu High, and he had even gone up and beaten the second-year seniors if he hadn't liked them, and although he had been beaten black and blue in the end, he had still gone up to beat them.
During the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons last year, he had even beaten those conservatives fiercely, and he had actively escaped after being judged for a while, and he hadn't been willing to be with those guys anymore.
Even after so long had passed, the seriousness and solemnity of the courtroom could still appear in his mind.
Was it because he had been afraid that the inviolable courtroom would be stained with blood?
Thinking of this, Kinji had raised the corners of his mouth with a smile and had actively released his domain, shouting, "Let me see, that passion that belongs to you!!"
The two had released their domains one after another, and their own techniques had all entered a brief \[Meltdown Period].
Miyahara Kazuya, who had just absorbed a large amount of Kinji's game rules, had been dumbfounded at this moment, what had these two people been? Or was it that this Domain Expansion itself had been like this?!
Amid surprise, the two could be seen to have been fighting in close combat at this moment, without the amazing and outrageous techniques that he had imagined, it had just been a normal fight of you throwing a punch and me throwing a hammer...
No, normal people would have techniques when they had been fighting, and it would have been even more reasonable to use elementary school students fighting for these two, and they hadn't been dodging at all, and it had seemed that they had been comparing to see who would fall first.
"Bang!"
Hiromi Higuruma, who had been hit straight in the face with a punch, had directly gritted his teeth and had butted up against him, shouting, "Why did you release the domain?!"
"Of course it's because you released it first, and I don't like taking small advantages, and there's no passion like that!!"
Kinji, whose face had been hit by the wooden gavel, had instantly broken two teeth, and he had spat out a mouthful of blood, swinging the fist in his hand with all his might.
The two had been fighting for their own dreams.
"Hmph, you're not bad for a hoodlum."
Hiromi Higuruma had been swinging the wooden gavel in his hand with all his might, and he had been powerless to deploy a domain again, and he, who had been a lawyer and had been a judge, hadn't been confident in his own strength, and he would be equivalent to losing once the cursed energy inside his body had been completely exhausted.
He should say that he had already lost at the moment that he had been firm in his own belief and had actively released the domain, and after all, the BUFF enhancement effect of the domain had been no different from being invincible.
Even he, who had just awakened his technique not long ago, had relied on his own innate talent to kill twenty sorcerers, who had been running rampant during this chaotic world, in a row.
This world still needed laws, and he had been the scale of the law in this Barrier.
