Edogawa Satoru who wanted to be a detective is not a good sorcerer

Edogawa Satoru left without waiting for Yuji to wake up, to find the boy named Junpei.

After getting Junpei's home address from the supervisor, Wu ran out of the high school in the evening glow while Nanami and the supervisor were not paying attention.

Thanks to the person who assigned so many tasks to Gojo Satoru, and thanks to Itadori for going on missions so he can avoid the people of the Gojo family.

He put on his hood, buttoned up his windbreaker, and got into the taxi like a criminal.

The driver looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?"

Edogawa Satoru took off his hat, revealing a harmless face, and gave the address.

It’s actually quite far, but luckily he is quite rich.

When he arrived at his destination, the sun had already set, and the remaining red glow filled the sky.

The stars were hidden, the moonlight was murky. The doorplate read "Yoshino House".

Satoru knocked gently on the door.

The person who opened the door was not the young man, but a middle-aged woman. She did not know Edogawa Satoru, but she bent down slightly and asked gently, "Little boy, who are you looking for?"

"Sister, I'm looking for Yoshino Junpei." The boy looked up, fiddling with the hem of his shirt in front of him, and said in a thin and low voice, "Originally, Junpei's friend wanted to come and play with him, but his friend suddenly had something to do, so he asked me to come and talk to him."

Shunping's mother was surprised, she didn't know Shunping had such a good friend. "Do you want to talk to Shunping in person? Come in and sit down." She smiled and opened the door, and Jinwu came in.

It is a very ordinary house, with traces of life in every corner.

He sat upright on the sofa, eyeing the snacks on the table.

"Please eat, don't be so polite." Junpei's mother poured a cup of Coke for Wu, and then was surprised to see the boy with bright eyes eating a piece of candy gracefully.

As the sugar replenished, his vision was no longer blurred. Edogawa Satoru realized what he had done and said stiffly, "Sorry! I couldn't help it! ... That was delicious. Thank you for the treat!"

Shunping's mother chuckled and waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay. I wish my son had the same mentality as you."

Her relaxed expression was briefly tinged with worry.

Shunping pushed the door open and walked in, his pupils shrinking.

Shunping's mother smiled broadly: "Are you back? Someone is looking for you."

Edogawa Satoru nodded and waved. He walked towards Yoshino Junpei, stopped, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'll say a few words and then I'll leave."

The muscles on his face, which was half covered by his bangs, were stiff. He pulled the corners of his mouth and said after three or four seconds: "Let's go upstairs."

Junpei's room was also very ordinary. Edogawa Satoru looked around the room and sat down on a chair.

"The sorcerer will investigate you. You know the real person, and your life will not be peaceful if you don't explain it clearly."

He tried hard to control the cursed energy from flowing through his brain and keep himself calm.

He came here not for anything else but to solve the hidden danger.

But... I can't do it like I did to Yuji.

There are no more than three things.

[“To understand, you must rely on yourself, don’t copy the answers.”]
Is it true that I can't do anything if I leave my brother?

After being away from his brother for so long, hasn’t he made any progress at all?

...He can do it.

[I can do that.]
"I'm not threatening you!" Edogawa Satoru raised his voice, which was deafening in his ears and made his head dizzy. "Let me explain first--"

"I admire you."

"What are you talking about?" Yoshino Junpei grabbed the little brat who broke into his house, but he didn't expect him to be so light that he was lifted up all of a sudden, and the excess force bounced him backwards.

Both fell to the ground.

His bangs spread out, revealing burns. Yoshino pushed Satoru away and covered his face: "So what if Mr. Zhenren is a cursed spirit?! Isn't it much easier to get along with him who hurts others than the one who hurts me?"

Wu fell to the ground for the second time, his internal organs twisted.

If he had a soul, would his soul cry in pain?
"Listen, listen to me. I don't know what happened to you." Edogawa Satoru propped himself up. "The real person is a cursed spirit. Do you really know what a 'cursed spirit' is? It is a collection of human hatred. It is an existence without a trace of goodness."

Yoshino said, I don’t care.

"What if it hurts your family?"

Yoshino Junpei was stunned: "No way... How could Mr. Zhenren do this? Are you kidding, Zhenren understands me and supports me, he is a good-"

In an instant, the distorted memories became straight, and the broken human figures and bloody experiments flashed through Yoshino Junpei's mind.

Edogawa Satoru finally got up: "Listen to me... After my parents died, my brother disappeared, and I lived in an orphanage, where I was molested by the director. I was rescued from the orphanage by someone with strange abilities, and came to Tokyo to look for my relatives. The relatives I found were sorcerers, whose jobs were high-risk and could easily lead to death. I'm still looking for my brother. He disappeared and there was no news of him. As I was looking, I came into contact with a real person. He wanted to kill me, but didn't for various reasons. But I'm a sorcerer, and if I'm found to be communicating with a cursed spirit, I'll be sentenced to death."

Yoshino: "..."
It was so tragic that he didn't know how to comfort her.

"So!——" Edogawa Satoru grabbed Junpei's hand. Junpei wanted to break free but was afraid of dropping the child again, so he had to hold back, "I really envy you. Your mother is still alive and really loves you, can you see that? The house is clean, the bedding is clean, and the meals are nutritious. When you heard that I was your friend, you let me in and treated me to food. You don't want the real person to hurt your mother, do you?"

"..."

"Please, if anyone approaches you, please do not tell them that I was in contact with a real person."

"Just tell me the rest, just don't mention me."

Yoshino was still a young boy after all. After hearing the tragic life and sincere request, his expression wavered. He still didn't believe that the real person would hurt him. Junpei turned his head away: "I'll think about it."

Edogawa Satoru breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, mother knocked on the door: "It's time for dinner~" Yoshino opened the door, his lips trembled slightly, but he said nothing.

"It's so late, let's have dinner together!" Mom invited Wu, and Yoshino did not refute.

Edogawa Satoru touched Sora's belly and nodded vigorously. But then Nanami called: "Edogawa, where have you been?"

He subconsciously wanted to ask how Yuji was doing.

The next second, Yuji's voice came: "The supervisor said you looked for Yoshino Junpei?"

Glancing at Yoshino Junpei, he handed the phone to Junpei: "Do you want to talk to Yuji?"

Yoshino pointed at himself in confusion: "Me? Who is Yuji? I don't know him."

[They don't know each other?]
[After Yoshino Junpei came out of the sewer, Yuji was called to fight. It is indeed unlikely that they knew each other.]
……yes.

Why did he subconsciously feel that Yuji and Yoshino Junpei knew each other?
He apologized to Shunping's mother: "Someone is here to pick me up. It seems I won't be able to taste my sister's cooking. By the way, Shunping, Chuang will contact you. You'd better explain the matter to your family."

Mother looked at Yoshino. Facing her mother's complicated and expectant gaze, Yoshino raised and lowered his head several times, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

It is not easy to overcome your cowardice.

"I hope you can come to the technical college to study."

Edogawa Satoru bids farewell to the Yoshino family.

The moment the door closed, his sight fell into darkness. He had been using his magical powers all day, and his soul and body were beginning to feel exhausted.

He felt the wall, followed by the light, and slowly walked to the street corner. It was just a pain in his internal organs, but he could bear it.

[It wasn’t this serious when I was in technical college…]
The heart began to twitch again.

The scene of Yuji and Junpei talking and laughing flashed before his eyes.

Hallucination?

Is his brain going to fail?
Yidizhi was still on his way. He sat by the road waiting for a bus.

As soon as you relax, the cursed energy will spontaneously flow through your head. Wherever the cursed energy passes through, it will feel cool and comfortable, making you feel like you can do anything.

When a passing cursed spirit was about to attack him, Wu gently waved his hand.

Spell [Cang].

A black line cut across the cursed spirit, splitting it in two, and a plain brown finger fell off.

Now that you are on guard, you should be on guard to the end.

After just defending against a wave of gifts, he felt that there would be no next wave of eavesdropping. Were the curse master and the real person underestimating him?

God knows how speechless he was when he heard the message from the bug, "Throw a finger to Junpei's house to stimulate Yuji and Ryomen Sukuna to form a bond."

What did Yuji Itadori offend?
Such a humorous and kind boy would be a rare sight in the Edogawa family, how could someone actually want to harm him?
Oh, I forgot that neither the real person nor the curse master are human.

Edogawa Satoru rested for a while, and the sweets he had eaten earlier began to be digested.

He only used a [Cang] that was weakened countless times and easily killed the cursed spirit of about level two.

Gojo Satoru is indeed the “strongest”.

After meeting Gojo Satoru, he used his six eyes to learn how Gojo Satoru used spell power and analyzed the operation routes of Gojo Satoru's spells.

Unfortunately.

Although they are the same person, Edogawa Satoru is completely unable to use Gojo Satoru's abilities. It's not that he can't, but that he can't use them.

To put it simply, □□ cannot withstand the mana and frequency required to use the Five Jou Jutsu Style.

Not long ago, he had successfully used [Cang] with the strength of a silk thread by constantly modifying the body route through which the spell was run, and condensed the cursed power originally extracted from the whole body into the cursed power extraction that only required the left brain.

You can imagine how outrageous Gojo Satoru’s complete version of [Ao] is!
He, Edogawa Satoru, requested in his real name that Gojo Satoru be banned.

The finger fell to the ground, and Edogawa Satoru didn't want to pick it up. His weak body effectively stopped his crazy brain.

Head: "Come on, let's go fight!"
Body: "Go away."

Has the supervisor not arrived yet?

Edogawa Satoru opened his eyes and saw the gushing mud monster trying to wrap around his feet. When his eyes met his, it contracted its body in disgust.

The cursed spirit's target was not him, but Sukuna's finger on the ground.

"Why are these trash so fond of you?" Edogawa Satoru questioned, killing the cursed spirit with ease.

I originally wanted to give it to the high school for safekeeping, but when I thought about the tiger vine picking up things on the ground to eat -

Edogawa Satoru took out the cursed spirit pet from his sleeve, locked Sukuna's fingers in an iron cage, and then stuffed them into the cursed spirit's mouth.

Sorry, Knotweed.

Although I don’t know if he did anything wrong this time.

But it’s really not okay to just pick up random things and eat them.

Edogawa Satoru thought to himself: I am such a good sorcerer who cares for my companions.
