Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King

End of memories.

Yoshino Junpei suddenly said:

"Did the first person who said 'the antonym of love is indifference' go to hell?"

"It is impossible to treat others with 'malice' rather than 'indifference'."

"The antonym of love is hate, and Japanese people love this, keen to complicate simple issues."

"This is not what Japanese people said." Zhenren corrected: "I'm talking about the rumor."

"Huh?"

"The original foreigner said 'the antonym of love is indifference', right?"

"'Love' has many definitions, so the antonym can be defined as 'indifference'."

"I guess so." Zhenren shrugged.

Yoshino Junpei continued: "But, Japanese people don't usually use the word 'love', so in this country, it unconsciously becomes 'like'."

"Whether the antonyms of 'love' and 'indifference' can be established, there is no deep consideration at all, and it spreads, like this."

"Everyone likes to play word games, because humans can't survive without finding excuses."

As the real person said, he led Yoshino Junpei to look deep into the sewer.

At the end of the corner.

It was a bloated, dark purple "alien" that was so huge that it completely blocked the passage.

"What is this?"

"An experiment to test how big humans can become."

"On the contrary, this is how small they can become."

As he said.

The real person threw a thumb-sized unknown object to Yoshino Junpei.

"Is this... a human?"

Looking at the ghost-faced meat jerky in his hand, Yoshino Junpei was surprised for a moment, but soon calmed down.

Seeing this.

Masato asked curiously, "Junpei, are you used to seeing corpses? Your reaction after learning the truth was calmer than I expected."

"How should I put it..." Yoshino Junpei returned the ghost-faced meat jerky to Masato: "If this was my mother, I might lose my mind and hate Mr. Masato."

"Huh?"

"Shunpei actually has a mother~"

Masato was surprised, and a barely perceptible evil arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Yeah."

"But I know that human nature is ugly, so I don't have any expectations for others, and I don't have any thoughts about the death of others."

"Indifference is the ultimate virtue that humans should have."

"You want revenge like this." Masato sighed.

"Are you trying to say that I'm contradicting myself?" Yoshino Junpei asked.

The real person answered with a question: "Junpei, do you think people have a 'heart'?"

"No...?"

"No~"

The real person narrowed his eyes and eyebrows: "People have a 'soul', but that is not a 'heart'."

"How can it be?" Yoshino Junpei was puzzled.

"I am the only one in the world who understands the structure of the soul, and I can change the form of a creature by touching the soul."

"Happiness, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all products of the metabolism of the soul. Calling it the heart is too mechanical."

"People think too much of what they can't see."

"To me who can see, the soul is the same as the body, nothing special, just existing here."

"Do you understand? Life itself has no value or weight."

"Like water between heaven and earth, life is just in reincarnation."

"You and I are the same, meaningless and worthless."

"Because of this, you can do whatever you want, and you are free to live however you want."

"Junpei, you are free."

"Don't be bound by the ideal of 'indifference'."

"There is no need for people to live in the same way, just like eating when hungry and killing when disgusted."

"Everything about Junpei, I will affirm."

The heterochromatic eyes exude a bewitching charm, and the real person looks at Yoshino Junpei with a gentle smile, and at the same time crushes the ghost face jerky in his hand.

Yoshino Junpei could feel that his smile was sincere.

Unlike that fake-smile guy, who was full of hypocrisy.

…

Mao Ni Office.

"The people who have disappeared recently and those who have died mysteriously have all been compiled and compiled into a report by the 'window'."

"Well, and I have also visited all these places, and have basically locked down the enemy's base."

In front of a map posted on the blackboard.

Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu are speaking in unison.

Ichichi Jie Gao stood obediently at the door with his hands in his pockets.

Itadori Yuji put his hands in his pockets and leaned on a table very relaxedly.

"Yoshi!"

"So are we going to rush in now?" Itadori Yuji asked excitedly.

"No."

Nanami Kento denied: "It's just the 'basics', I will continue to investigate the details, Haibara and ItadoriAnother job."

Said.

Nanami Kento pinned the photo of a bullied boy with half-long black hair and bangs covering his eyes on the map.

"The boy who appeared in the cinema at that time was Yoshino Junpei."

"He was a classmate of two of the victims who attended the same high school. The remaining victim had also beaten and blackmailed him many times."

The remote control turned on the surveillance video.

The scene on the screen was Yoshino Junpei running out of the movie theater.

"From the surveillance video and his behavior, the possibility that he is a curser is very low, but there is a connection between him and the victim, that's another matter."

"Curser?"

Yuji Itadori was puzzled. This was another term he had never heard of.

Nanami Kento put one hand on his waist and explained: "Essentially, he is still a curser, but his behavior is bad, which is equivalent to a criminal among cursers."

"There are so many of them."

Yuji Itadori sighed: "This kind of people really exist in all groups. ”

“I have already explained the follow-up arrangements to Ichichi and Haibara. Please, the three of you, please investigate Yoshino Junpei together.”

As the leader.

Nanami Kento issued the final order.

“Oh!” ×2

The three stood in a row in front of Nanami Kento and saluted him like soldiers going out to battle.

“By the way, I don’t know anyone who assists the supervisor except Mr. Ichichi.”

“Well~”

Ichichi Jiegao narrowed his wise eyes and said frankly: “Because Tokyo High School is notorious, in order to have a longer career, everyone who can run away has run away.”

“The few remaining have also gone to assist normal magicians of the non-Zenin Future faction.”

“Huh?!”

Yuji Itadori exclaimed unhappily: “Does it mean that I am abnormal? ! I think I am quite normal? ! "

Ichichi Jiegao heard this.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and complained in a low voice: "Which normal magician would swallow a special-grade cursed object, and it was that Ryomen Sukuna = ="

"Well~"

"Never mind!"

Itadori Yuji got rid of the mental exhaustion state in a second, raised his hand and shouted: "Ikuzo!" (Let's go!)

"That's it!"

"In a big pocket, let's burn our youth! "

Haihara Yuji hugged Itadori Yuji's shoulders vigorously, and a shadow flashed in his eyes, and his sight stayed on Nanami Kento for a moment.

Then.

The two of them shouted all the way, like lunatics.

The passers-by on the road were afraid to avoid them.

"Ha..."

Looking at the two people walking away with their arms around each other, Ichichi Jiegao sighed softly. He always had a bad feeling.

The three of them left the meeting room like this.

Nanami Kento was left silent.

The shouts gradually faded...

Ichichi Jiegao suddenly turned around, revealing his upper body from the door, looked at Nanami Kento, and asked: "It's not 'basically', in fact, Mr. Nanami and Mr. Haihara already know it. "
