Abnormal Moon

Fushiguro Megumi's face remained expressionless, but a few subtle thoughts arose in her mind.

So, Zen monasteries are the root of all evil?

Even a man like Shen Er didn't turn bad for no reason, did he?

"After living the life of a mercenary for a while, he fell in love with a woman and they had a child, which is you."

"After starting a family, Fuheshen'er toned down his sharp edges and became more tactful... Actually, I haven't seen it with my own eyes. If you ask me how he became tactful, I don't know either. In short, I can only tell you this much. You'll have to figure out the rest yourself."

Fukuro Megumi originally wanted to ask Shinji how he became so tactful.

But after hearing this, he nodded rationally and gave up the idea of ​​asking.

The news you hear is just news; ultimately, he has to make the decision himself.

Megumi Fushiguro's personality dictates that as long as his sore spot isn't touched, he will maintain maximum rationality and won't act on emotion. Even if his mood changes slightly in certain matters, his actions will not change.

"But the good times didn't last long. Not long after you were born, your mother died of illness. Then she became the dissolute woman she became. When she was broke, she would go around with various women and occasionally take on some missions from the world of sorcery."

Fushiguro was stunned for a moment, her eyes flickering slightly.

Did the man's mother's death have such a big impact on him?

That man, could he also have such a sentimental side?

No, if it were me, and Tsumiki died—

Fushiguro suddenly reached out and touched his head, and faint blue veins appeared on the back of his hand.

He gritted his teeth, unable to even imagine the scene.

If Tsumiki dies, he might completely fall into depravity.

They might fall even deeper into depravity than Shen Er.

Not long after that, Shen'er brought his son to marry into the Fuhei family. He married a woman from the Fuhei family who had a daughter, forming a remarried family, and changed his name to Fuhei Shen'er.

Megumi Fushiguro and Miki Fushiguro became siblings without blood ties, and lived together for more than ten years, relying on each other for survival.

"But shortly after they got married, they both disappeared without a trace. Was it because Tsumi and I became a burden to them?"

Fushiguro tapped her temples, her voice carrying a deliberately suppressed sense of irritation.

What's bothering him?

What does he have to be upset about?

Anyway, that man had long since fallen into depravity; he was the kind of guy who ignored his son and stepdaughter even at home.

Even if he had a terrible early life, it doesn't change the fact that he was a scumbag!

"I don't understand Shen'er's feelings, but the reason he disappeared was not because he wanted to abandon you, but because he is dead."

"die--?!"

Fushiguro Megumi's eyes widened suddenly.

He stared at Roy in disbelief, seeing his calm expression, and for a moment thought he was lying to him.

"He accepted a mission, a mission targeting the high school, fought a great battle with Gojo Satoru, and then died, killed by Gojo Satoru."

Roy's face remained expressionless as he recounted the past of Shen'er's death, failing to stir any emotion within him whatsoever; it was as if he were not speaking of a dead person.

But what he said didn't seem like a lie.

Fushiguro was momentarily stunned.

Incredibly, he accepted the outcome very quickly, as if it were the most natural result.

Why does he take it for granted?

Or is it that he actually hoped for this outcome and felt that this was the most acceptable result for him?

"But what about that man today..."

"That was the old woman's spell, which could summon the spirit of the dead. But because Shen'er had absolutely no spell power, the situation got out of control, and perhaps even beyond the reach of fate."

"..."

Fushiguro Megumi, looking dazed, fell into an indescribable silence.

"As for Tsumiki's mother, she has indeed vanished without a trace. She may have been killed by a cursed spirit, or she may have truly felt that you and Tsumiki were a burden and left... No one knows for sure."

"That's all I know about Shen'er. As you said, he is indeed a scumbag, but he wasn't like this from the beginning. Humans are complex creatures, and I, as an outsider, won't comment further."

Roy looked at Fushiguro Megumi, who was still sitting there with an expression of disbelief.

Upon seeing this, he stretched out his palm.

"If you don't believe me, I'll take you there right now so you can ask him the truth for yourself, how about that?"

He can now sense Shen'er's location.

Although constantly moving, the technique of instantaneous teleportation allows him to appear in front of him in an instant.

Even the Heavenly Tyrant, born with zero magical power, is extremely resistant to any means of interfering with him using magical power. However, magical power marks are not included in this category, because marks are not interference; they can be used on people or buildings, and the Heavenly Tyrant can certainly use them as well.

“…No, that’s not necessary.”

Fukuro Megumi remained silent for a long time, then let out a long breath, his once straight back now hunched over.

"I've already believed it, it's just a little... hard to accept for now."

It turns out that Shen'er had already died long ago.

He still died at the hands of Gojo Satoru.

Since they had become mercenaries, they could die at any time. The same was true for sorcerers. Fushiguro Megumi had long been prepared for where he would die.

Moreover, since he had actively provoked the high school, even if he died at the hands of Gojo Satoru, he didn't think the fault lay with Gojo Satoru.

It's more like Gojo Satoru supported the enemy's son for so long, and even after knowing that his techniques could counter him, he didn't intend to eliminate him completely. He was practically a saint.

Whether he lives or dies doesn't actually affect how Fushiguro Megumi views him.

Even if he has his reasons and a tragic past, it cannot be denied that he is a scumbag father who doesn't care about his own son!

However, after learning about these things...

The image of that scumbag father in Fushiguro Megumi's mind, which was originally blank, has unknowingly become a little more complete.

He finally understood what kind of person his father was.

It makes people laugh involuntarily.

"Alright, I have nothing else to tell you. Now let's talk about your bad habit of being indecisive when faced with a problem!"

Roy put down his phone and stretched.

The car had already left the city center and was speeding towards the high school in the suburbs.

Upon hearing this, Fushiguro Megumi temporarily suppressed the complex emotions in her heart and showed an expression of "here it comes after all."

"That's what I said to Itadori, and I would say the same thing to Professor Roy. I don't think I made the wrong choice. Professor, didn't you say it yourself? The result was indeed good."

"Yes, I don't deny that."

Roy smiled, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

"I just have a selfish motive; I also want to give a certain cursed king a big surprise... Hui, let's make a deal!"

"trade?"

Fushiguro looked over, puzzled.

“Okay, give me the Demon Void, and I’ll inscribe a brand new spell for you that you can control freely.”

Roy picked up his phone, opened a file inside, and handed it to Fushiguro Megumi.

"You can choose one of the spells here!"

"Engraving? Your choice?"

Fukuro Megumi remained stunned for a long while.

He suddenly realized what was happening, gasped sharply, and stared at Roy in disbelief.

"Teacher, you're not suggesting that you can freely bestow spells upon others, are you?!"

And you can even choose what you want!

Throughout the thousands of years of history of the sorcery world, nothing like this has ever happened before!

The spell is innate, something engraved on the body, and cannot be interfered with by human effort. This is an ironclad rule in the world of sorcery.

Roy's statement is as if he can really bestow spells upon others at will, which is simply challenging Fushiguro Megumi's values!

"That's what I meant!"

Roy crossed his legs, his expression becoming very pleased.

“I possess more than one technique within myself; those are techniques I have bestowed upon myself.”

So, is his self-positioning truly that of a "universal technique"?

That's absolutely insane!

This guy is probably even more terrifying than Gojo Satoru, right?
