A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1281

"Of course! That's what we deserve for watching the market 24 hours a day!"

"Nanami! You've been here for more than a year, right? You're very smart, keep working hard!"

"I'm optimistic about you~"

As he said that, the boss came to Nanami Kento and patted him on the shoulder as a gesture.

Nanami Kento himself had a blank expression on his face and did not respond.

"I am a person who has no chance of achieving 'social value' or 'life value'."

"My goal is to make some money in my 3s or 40s, and then go somewhere cheap and live a carefree life."

This is the truest thought in Nanami Ken's heart.

"It's been four years since I left Jujutsu High School. No matter when, even in my dreams, I only think about making money."

"As long as I have money, curses and other people have nothing to do with me."

“Money money money money money money money…”

"Are you okay?"

When he came to the bakery again, Kento Nanami received care from the cashier who looked quite tired.

"Did you have a good rest?"

Nanami Kento shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine with a blank expression: "...but you, you look particularly tired."

"Ah? Can you tell?" The cashier tapped her heavy shoulders and complained, "I've been feeling heavy on my shoulders lately, and I can't sleep well."

"..."

Nanami Kento just looked deeply at the cashier's shoulder and didn't say anything.

The cursed spirit was still perched on the other's shoulder.

"My job is basically like this. Let rich people give them money, and then they make them even richer. To be honest, even if they are gone, no one will be bothered. But if there is no bakery, people who want to eat bread will be troubled, right?

But somehow, I make more money doing a job that has little to do with other people's lives.

It’s really strange when you think about it calmly.”

Nanami Kento was talking to himself.

"Are you really showing off?" The cashier felt a little embarrassed when she heard that.

"No."

Nanami Kento shook his head slightly, "Could you please move forward a step?"

"?"

The cashier was a little confused, but she did as she was told.

Then, Nanami Kento swung his knife expressionlessly and slashed at the cursed spirit on his shoulder.

The curse dissipated in the cashier's invisible field of vision.

"Shoulder, how do you feel?"

After doing all this, Nanami Kento asked calmly.

"Huh? Ah! Eh!?"

The cashier moved her shoulders in surprise and looked at the man in front of her curiously, "How strange, you seem to be much more relaxed! Did you do anything?"

"nothing."

Nanami Kento took the bread and turned to leave.

"If you still feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital. Goodbye."

With that, he stepped out of the bakery.

But the cashier chased him to the door, waved at him and shouted, "Thank you! Please come again--!!"

"Eh? Didn't you hear it?"

"Thank you! Please come again next time!"

Perhaps because Nanami Kento didn't answer, the cashier repeated it again.

At this moment, Nanami Kento felt for the first time that his existence was valuable.

“I originally thought that I was not worthy of the ‘value of survival’.”

He took out his cell phone and dialed the number of Gojo Satoru in his address book.

"Hello, I'm Nanami, I have something to talk to you about."

"Well, I'm going to the technical college tomorrow..."

"why are you laughing?"

This is the process of a man named Nanami Kento escaping from the world of sorcery and returning to it.

Ordinary, but no regrets.

"Now, I just want to thank you."

Therefore, in the face of the mocking thanks from the real person, Nanami Kento could calmly take off his single eye, wait for death to come, and respond: "No need. I have been thanked by many people."

"I have no regrets."

"Really? Then say goodbye. 'Transformation without action'."

The real person smiled and activated the technique.

And in the unfolding field, his technique is sure to hit the target.

This means that Nanami Kento in front of him is doomed to die.

But his smile froze at this moment.

click-

Something shattered.

It's his field.

The more the barrier technique increases internal resistance, the weaker the resistance against external forces.

"Field" is a barrier that specializes in the "sealing" effect, but on the other hand, it is much easier to invade.

Because it does not bring any benefit to the invader.

This is especially true in situations like "Infinite Space" or "Self-Enclosed Round Envelope", where dragging the opponent into the field means victory.

But the situation is different for Xuanhao.

Because there is a soul inside him that real people dare not touch.

Sukuna had warned him last time, "There won't be a next time."

"Puff-"

At this moment, Zhenren realized that something was wrong and his heart began to beat wildly.

But the "transformation through inaction" has already started, and it is too late to stop it.

Xuanhao came to the realm, which means he will touch Sukuna's soul again.

"I've already said it - there won't be a second time."

Sure enough, the chill from the depths of the soul was accompanied by an extremely cold voice.

The real person's body was torn apart by an unknown force.

I am the only one in the world, and whether I am happy or not is the only guide for my life.

For Ryoumen Sukuna, it doesn't matter whether it's Nanami Kento who dies or Mamito who dies, it doesn't make any difference.

The only one who was curious was that one person.

Other than that, he really didn't care.

The realm shattered as the real person's body was torn apart.

thump--

The real person fell to his knees on the ground helplessly.

As the domain was shattered, Nanami Kento was naturally not affected by the "inaction transformation" and survived.

"what happened?"

Faced with the scene of a real person suddenly falling to the ground, Xuan Hao was confused for 0.1 seconds and didn't know what was going on.

In this brief 0.1 second of thinking, the clearest thing is——

Can kill.

He rushed towards the fallen real person without hesitation, ready to kill this guy.

The real person lowered his head and seemed to have no strength to resist.

"'Extend the Field'... the consumption of cursed energy is too alarming. It is indeed a killer move, the ultimate secret technique! But that bastard Sukuna..."

He was filled with rage.

"But now is the decisive moment!! Give it your all!!"

The soul seemed to be roaring, and the real person exerted the last of his magical power, and his body suddenly swelled up strangely.

Facing the suddenly huge real person, Xuan Hao did not hesitate. The target was large, and the flow of magic power was also calm, so he would not be killed in return.

Can hit with certainty.

This is the last chance and there is no need for strategic involvement.

After thinking about all this.

There was only infinite...transparent murderous intent left in Xuan Hao's fist.

Curse power comes from human emotions, and murderous intent is one of them.

"Jingting Fist."

The unpretentious punch mercilessly struck the real person's swollen body.

However, the next moment, he felt something was wrong.

puff--

The real person's body burst like a balloon, and there was nothing inside.

"This way!"

When he reacted, Nanami Kento next to him had already taken action.

Holding a blunt knife, he rushed towards the sewer drain hole nearby.

At this moment, the real person no longer looked like a human being, but just a mass of wriggling flesh.

He was heading for the gap, and even a hand grew out of his flesh mass, waving at the two of them and saying goodbye sarcastically: "Bye~"

"stop!!"

Xuanhao roared.

But it was too late.

“I had a lot of fun~”

The real person has completely entered the sewer.

boom--

Nanami Kento's blunt knife ruthlessly smashed the drain hole.

But there is no trace of the real person anymore.

The sewers used for drainage are too narrow for humans to pass through.

"Tsk."

Although he felt a little unhappy, Nanami Kento had to admit that he let this guy escape.

He immediately turned on the phone and organized a search: "Wild boar, the real body escaped from the drain."

"Well, please chase him southeast from where you were with me before. Don't let him get away. You can easily deal with him in his current state."

"Let's catch up too—"

After hanging up the phone, Nanami Kento said to Xuan Hao behind him.

However, before he could finish his words, he saw Xuan Hao had fallen to the ground, seemingly due to excessive blood loss.

"!?"

It seemed that the pursuit had to be terminated.

  ···········

the other side.

“Ahahahahahahahahaha…hahahaha—”

The real person who successfully escaped leaned against the wall of the sewer and laughed wildly.

"That is the cursed king Ryoumen Sukuna... His total cursed energy is probably not as high as that of the clepsydra, but he has such a strong presence... The level of his soul is different. Now I am sure that even if we are all wiped out, as long as we can revive Sukuna, we can usher in the era of curses."

Thinking of this, he raised his trembling hands.

"But... it's a headache. I can't help wanting to kill that container now."

"Hmm... I'm so anxious! Let's just forget it!!"

Finally, the real person started to play badly like a child.

"Unlike the body, the soul can be killed as many times as you want. How should I kill it next time?"

  ···········

time flies.

Xuanhao's injuries have recovered to the point where he can move.

"Didn't I tell you to rest?"

Looking at Xuanhao who had already gotten out of bed, Nanami Kento walked up to him and said calmly.

"Preaching?" Xuan Hao looked at him puzzledly.

"What's the point of lecturing your lifesaver?"

Nanami Kento simply gave up on that idea.

"Me?" Xuan Hao was a little confused.

"Although not directly, I was saved thanks to you."

Nanami Kento explained, "That guy's technique interferes with other people's souls. You invaded his domain and allowed him to touch Sukuna's soul. I was saved because of this."

"But I didn't change people?" Xuan Hao was still a little confused.

"It wasn't Sukuna who came out, but that guy who went in." Nanami Kento continued to explain.

"That means, I didn't save you. It was Sukuna who acted on impulse."

Xuanhao understood.

"Human life is so fragile. In front of these guys, it's like a toy that can be manipulated at will. What is the correct way to die?"

"I also do not understand."

Facing Xuanhao's sudden question, Nanami Kento shook his head slightly, "Even if it is correct that good people have a good end and evil people die as a result of evil retribution, most people in the world are neither good nor evil."

“Death is the end of all men, but no one death is the same.”

"Trying to direct all deaths into the right path is only asking for trouble."

“I don’t recommend it.”

"But even if I say so, you're still going to do it, right?"

Nanami Kento looked at Xuan Hao and asked.

"..."Xuan Hao was silent for a while.

"But at least don't lose your life." Nanami Kento warned calmly, "Just like if it weren't for you today, I would have died, and there will be more people who need you in the future. Because you are already a sorcerer."

  ···········

On the other side, at Satoshi Sakura High School after the incident.

"Put it in this box when you're done writing it."

Teacher Waimura is collecting questionnaires about bullying.

“No need to write your name.”

The students wrote down what they knew anonymously in the questionnaire.

Through these questionnaires, he finally realized that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

"You were the one who caused Yoshino's injury, right, Ito?"

After understanding the whole story, Mr. Sotomura called Shota Ito to his office.

"I don't want to be lectured by a guy who was shaking with fear and doing nothing at the time."

Ito Shouta turned his head away with disdain. "Didn't that guy drop out of school and move away? That's enough, isn't it? Since then, my left hand has been out of control."

"We are talking about your crime now." Teacher Waimura's tone was firm. "You will bear the punishment yourself."

"What about the teacher's punishment?"

"As for me..." Mr. Sotomura sighed slightly. He was indeed negligent for not paying attention to the bullying of Yoshino Junpei. "Start from now on. First, see clearly what you didn't see before. You and I killed Yoshino. We have to carry this sin for the rest of our lives."

"I'll be watching you, Ito."

After hearing that Yoshino was dead, Shota Ito's expression finally changed.

Humans are creatures that only reflect on things after the fact.

  ···········

In the natural volcanic barrier, beside a smoking hot spring somewhere, Clepsydra, who had recovered, was leisurely smoking his pipe.

"Ah!! Found it—the clepsydra!"

At this time, a child-like cry was heard.

He turned his head and saw the real person taking off his clothes and walking towards the hot spring, then jumped in.

"It seems that most of the cursed power has been restored?"

Looking at the real person who recovered his vitality so quickly, Louhu asked.

"It's okay." Zhenren responded leisurely while swimming in the hot spring, "The environment here is good, and no humans are near."

"Not having a body is also a problem - the efficiency of self-repair is low." Leaky Pot pointed out his mistake calmly, "Are you just being brave?"

"The master has indeed consumed a lot this time." Xia Yu on the side also laughed.
