A Bizarre Adventure That Begins in Jujutsu Kaisen

Chapter 102 A Long Day, Part Two

Seeing his junior brother being severely "insulted" by that woman, Ri Che Kuan Jian immediately glared with dead fish eyes and stepped forward to protect the still somewhat dazed Shun Ping behind him, questioning him in a cold and hard tone: "You just activated a spell? Is this your welcoming ceremony?"

If you do not immediately disclose the tactics used and clearly explain the nature and specific effects of your actions, I have grounds to believe that you are carrying out a deliberate attack on our personnel, and reserve the right to take all necessary countermeasures.

He lived up to his background as a lawyer; his wording was precise, his logic clear, and he spoke with great flair.

The female boss playfully poked her cheek, revealing an innocent yet sly expression: "A spell? No, no, no, I didn't use any spells~"

This is just a unique little trick or technique of our Romantic School~

"A kiss can give you a general sense of a person's true nature and potential emotional compatibility."

"How about it, Mr. Chocolate Mousse? Want to see the adult world? I can teach you lots of fun things!"

"Uh————" It would be a lie to say that Yoshino Junpei felt no curiosity or natural adolescent excitement whatsoever.

But the absurd and inappropriate situation before him caused his remaining rationality to desperately sound the alarm.

"Thank you for your kindness," but I declined on his behalf. "Madam, please watch your manners." Hiromi Hinoki responded firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Oh dear, we should respect the wishes of the person involved~" the female boss persisted, her gaze still fixed on Shunping.

"That's enough!" Miguel, who had been silently observing from the back, finally spoke.

He had unknowingly removed the "Black Rope," a top-grade cursed artifact, from his arm and casually draped it over Shunping's head, which was still somewhat dazed, as if it were a barrier.

"Grace, the Witch of Desire," I don't know why even a school of thought ruler like you would be interested in leaving the European continent.

If you didn't come here specifically to cause trouble, you'd better explain your true intentions and the background now—this isn't your Elysium!

"What—?! She's a monarch?!"

Upon hearing this, Shunping instantly snapped out of his dazed state of being kissed, staring wide-eyed at the smiling female boss in front of him, who seemed like a friendly older sister next door.

"Oh dear, I guess I was recognized after all~"

Gracia shrugged, her expression slightly helpless, but not particularly embarrassed by being exposed.

"Trapped in that gorgeous but monotonous paradise, playing the same games day after day, it's so boring~ I feel like my soul is rusting."

Therefore, I have voluntarily relinquished the title of monarch of the Romantic school.

Right now, I'm just a law-abiding bar owner and freelance artist who loves life and has pretty good bartending skills.

Since the other party had given a reasonably reasonable explanation for the "magical contact" just now, Hiromi Hirashori steered the conversation back on track and asked again: "Even if you don't consider continuing to work in the field of curses, with your extraordinary abilities and knowledge, you should be able to find a decent ordinary job in Europe."

Why are you so determined to join us and go to a country with a completely different culture? What is your motivation?

"Having been a sorcerer capable of performing miracles and touching another side of the world, having witnessed landscapes that ordinary people could never imagine in their entire lives—"

—"

Gracia toned down her joking expression somewhat.

"If we were asked to go back to that mundane life of working nine to five and worrying about every penny of daily necessities, we would get so tired of it in a few months that we would go crazy."

As for me—isn't the most interesting and fastest-changing place in the world right now Japan?

Of course I had to join in the fun and see what new delicious surprises they could create~, she licked her lips again, her smile becoming alluring and suggestive once more.

"Ms. Gracia is absolutely right."

In the corner, a giant man, at least two meters tall and with a waist almost the same width, echoed in a deep, booming voice, his body fat seemingly trembling slightly as he spoke.

"Besides, modern society, especially the job market, is not a friendly place."

Mr. Nissan, as an outsider, you may not be fully aware of the true situation of young people in Europe today?

"Actually, I know a little about it." Hiromi Nichisha turned his head slightly.

He had a habit of reading newspapers, so he wasn't completely ignorant of worldly affairs.

"The global economy is in a downturn, and Europe is particularly affected by the sovereign debt crisis, with unemployment rates remaining high for a long time and structural employment problems being prominent."

"It's more than just outstanding!" A skinny boy who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old and was no more than 1.6 meters tall, sitting next to the giant, interjected, his tone filled with cynicism that didn't match his appearance.

"The slave trade is prohibited by law, but the labor market is sometimes even more brutal."

Many of the better positions require, as the first requirement, to have more than X years of relevant industry work experience.

But for someone who has just graduated or wants to change careers, how can they have work experience if they have never worked before?

As a result, countless young people are trapped in a vicious cycle of "needing experience to get a job, and needing a job to gain experience".

"Unable to find a decent starting point, they can only become the lowest-level human batteries, selling their time and physical strength for the cheapest, living a life even worse than some middle-class families' carefully raised pets."

He spoke faster and faster, his emotions growing increasingly agitated: "Just like the satire in 'Yes, Prime Minister':"

We raise the graduation age not to let them learn more, but to keep teenagers out of the job market to reduce unemployment. There's nothing wrong with this country's education system.

Politicians only know how to play these cheap tricks—putting on a show while actually doing nothing!

"Hypocrisy is evil's distorted tribute to virtue, and silence is the safest move for those who lack confidence."

Virtue vanishes into self-interest, just as a river disappears into the ocean.

"It's not that they don't know what's best for society, it's just that they won't do it for their own benefit," the giant added.

At this time, Britain had not yet left the EU. Upon hearing the scathing political satire, Gracia lively chimed in: "I deal with EU officials a lot, I know this!"

They possess the organizational skills of the Italians, the flexibility of the Germans, the humility of the French, the imagination of the Belgians, the generosity of the Dutch, and the intelligence of the Irish.

Half of them are meddlesome megalomaniacs, and the other half just want to reap some benefits!

"Good heavens, this is simply taking the dross and discarding the essence!"

"The economic downturn will trigger a chain of social problems and a reduction in opportunities—" Hiromi Nichisha pondered.

Out of basic social etiquette, he still offered a word of encouragement: "Theoretically, no matter how harsh the environment, as long as one continues to learn and constantly improves their core competitiveness—making them irreplaceable—they still have the possibility of breaking through and standing out in any era and any industry."
