Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King

"Mechanical Maru!!!"

Boom——

Sparks and lightning all the way, light cannons and hand knives.

『Ultimate Mechanical Maru Zero』 successfully swooped down in front of the real person and exploded instantly!

The damage was not great, only a small part of the body of the bloated grotesque insect-shaped real person was blown up, but the dazzling white light deprived him of almost all of his vision.

"What the hell, this puppet!"

The real person cursed lightly, and after he shrunk his pupils to the size of a pinhole, he could barely see the way ahead in this continuous flash of white light.

But he saw.

A figure with red eyes, like a ghost, tore his claws, roared like a wolf and a tiger, and pounced on him, almost occupying his entire field of vision.

"Wash the inner!!!" (Die!!!)

"Ah hehehehehe!!!"

The real person laughed wildly, and shouted with Kokichi, and the figures of both sides instantly intertwined...

A peaceful afternoon.

The chirping of sparrows out foraging can still be heard faintly.

The dim sunlight shines into the spacious utility room of the second-year classroom of Kyoto High School through the sliding glass windows that almost occupy the entire wall.

After Ultimate Mechamaru entered school, this almost became his exclusive room.

At this moment.

The girl and the puppet are sitting on the bench.

The quiet atmosphere is slowly spreading.

After stammering for a long time, Miwa Kasumi finally mustered up the courage and asked Ultimate Mechamaru, who she thought was "asleep":

"Hey, Mechamaru, when I'm free, can I go see you?"

"..."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Under the sunlight.

The girl's face showed a charming and sly expression of joy.

She intertwined her ten fingers, and the roots of her white jade fingers, the slightly yellowed training marks due to excessive sword swinging, pressed against each other and rubbed them anxiously.

"......"

Ultimate Mechanical Maru was in a dark corner where the sun could not reach. He maintained the heroic sitting posture with his arms folded and legs crossed when he spoke at the end, and remained silent.

He lowered his head.

The smile on Miwa Kasumi's face gradually faded.

Her clear eyes, like a clear lake, were rippled by the wind blowing from nowhere, sparkling and rippling with a moving light blue arc.

"That exchange meeting... After the baseball game, I felt that the distance between us and everyone suddenly became much closer."

"It may be an occupational disease of the sorcerer. Although we used to get along well, we still kept a distance."

"After all, if the relationship is too good, it will be painful when we part."

Miwa Kasumi kept circling her thumb nervously, and seemed to have noticed something, and sighed in a trembling voice:

"I feel, I feel that Zenin Sensai is really amazing. He seems to have a magical power that can bring everyone together."

"I like the close relationship between everyone now. I must thank him when I meet him next time."

"You can think about it, you didn't participate in the baseball game at that time, and a pitching machine was used to replace you."

Tick! Tick! Tick!

"I... want to get closer to you."

"Not the mechanical pill, but the real you."

"In the future..."

"I will definitely go to see you."

"Taka--" (So--)

"Don't die!!!"

Tears flowed like a spring.

Love is like rain.

On a battlefield hundreds of kilometers away.

The girl's cry was transmitted through the Ultimate Mecha Maru to the ears of Yukichi, who was wearing the "Ultimate Mecha Maru Armor".

At this moment.

The winner has been decided.

The dim sunlight illuminated the broken body of the "Ultimate Mecha Maru Prototype Zero", which lay powerlessly on a mountainside with its back to the sun.

In the shadow it cast.

Yukichi fell to the ground powerlessly, and the ten "simple fields" loaded on the fingertips of his armor had all been fired.

Not far away.

The body of the cursed spirit of the real person was rapidly melting.

But when his last head was about to collapse, Yukichi had no time to be happy, and a naked prison foot trampled the head with one foot, splashing deep purple blood.

Following the prison foot.

Yukichi moved his sight slightly upwards.

But saw.

The one who crushed the last head of the real person to pieces was actually another real person who was intact.

"How could it be?!" Yukichi was shocked.

The real person walked up to him with a sadistic smile, and one hand expanded to the size of the Hulk, tightly grasping Yukichi's neck, and lifted him up like a chicken: "Ah~ accident?"

The real person grinned from ear to ear, and couldn't hide his excitement: "Hahahahaha, it's very simple, just use the technique to split your soul in advance, and you can achieve perfection.The effect of a clone."

At this time.

Nosuo appeared from nowhere and came to the side of the real person.

"Is it a bit dangerous?"

"Whether it's the 'that' just now or the 'this' now."

"I will explode myself at the timing of the spell. After that, as long as the domain is lifted, he will think I'm dead. Everything is in plan. There is no danger."

The real person's tone is full of confidence, but Nosuo is a little "worried" about his growth:

"But before facing Zenyuan Future, you have already split your soul once, and now you have split it again. If you do it again, even as a 'special' cursed spirit, your soul will collapse."

"At least I'm still alive, right?"

The real person turned his head to look at Nosuo, and said nonchalantly: "If I hadn't kept this trick in advance when I took the initiative to explode for the first time, I would probably have been exorcised by his sneak attack just now. ”

Hearing this.

Nozomi shrugged helplessly and nodded: "That's true."

"By the way -" Pulling the struggling Yukichi in front of him, the real person said with great interest: "Is that also a 'simple field'?"

"Before the official start, I really saw something good!"

"It's something similar to the 'sword-drawing technique' of the little girl who left the exchange meeting early last time, but the aura is the same, so it must be from the same person."

"It's still a bit threatening to me, I have to find a chance to give her - ga!"

Said.

The real person wiped his neck with a knife, with a bad expression, and looked at Yukichi who was struggling more fiercely.

"Oh?"

The real person showed an interested expression on his face: "Could it be that the girl is very important to you?"

"No..."

"Hmm?"

"Don't attack him! "Yoko Yoshikichi's expression hidden under the mask was extremely fierce. He tore off the huge hand that bound the real person with one hand and punched the real person fiercely.

The real person did not dodge, but grinned with a weird smile.

"Shule!"

Kacha——

"Ah!!!"

Just when Yokoyo Koshi's fist was about to "kiss" the real person's face.
