Jujutsu Kaisen: My spells have no limit

"Sorry, I'm not interested. In fact, I'm planning to resign after finishing my work today."

On the sidewalk, Qi Haijian, who hadn't yet made a phone call, accepted the business card that Lin Yi handed him.

The top side had Lin Yi's name and the agency's contact number written on it, while the back side listed services for bodyguards and detectives.

Qi Haijian looked Lin Yi up and down for a while before returning the business card.

"Okay, then I wish you all the best in your next job."

Seeing that Qi Haijianren had refused his request, Lin Yi could only put the business card back in his wallet and leave dejectedly.

Without Lin Yi's uninvited guest disturbing him, Qi Haijian finally made a phone call, which was then answered.

"Hey, this is Nanami. I have something to tell you... Um, I can go back to the vocational high school tomorrow."

"Mr. Nanami? It really is you."

Another voice interrupted Nanami Kento's phone call. Nanami Kento pressed the receiver and looked at the three people walking towards him from across the street: two adults and one minor.

The assistant supervisor of Tokyo Jujutsu High School, Kiyotaka Ijichi, was standing next to two figures, one tall and one short. The taller one was dressed in a black casual outfit, had short brown hair, and wore a black knitted hat.

The shorter one had delicate features and, though still somewhat childish, a tall and upright figure that rivaled that of the young man beside him. His most striking feature was his hairstyle: a black, bluish-black urchin-style cut that made him look like a delinquent from some school.

"Ichichi, Ino..."

"This is Mr. Gojo's student, Fushiguro Megumi, a descendant of the Zenin family."

"Why should we come over to say hello? Isn't our mission this time observation?"

Fushiguro Megumi looked displeased and turned her head to look in the direction Lin Yi had left, while Nanami Kento, though he had doubts, still looked at Ijichi Kiyotaka in front of him.

This assistant supervisor has been assisting sorcerers in exorcising cursed spirits since his college days, and he is most familiar with Nanami Kento.

"I never expected to see you here, Mr. Nanami."

"Are you on a mission?"

"Yes, Mr. Nanami, that's right..."

Kiyotaka Ichi briefly explained the cause and effect, and also made Kento Nanami look in the direction where Lin Yi had left.

Could this unexpected visitor be an unregistered sorcerer active in Shinjuku Ward?

"He looks like an ordinary person."

"Perhaps, but we need to confirm, Mr. Nanami, are you working?"

"No, I'm preparing to resign. I'm talking to Satoru Gojo on the phone, but..."

-----------------

Ichiro Commercial Detective Agency, a mixed-use building in Ome Street, Shinjuku Ward.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to memorize the address just by glancing at my business card. Um..."

"Qi Haijianren, this is my colleague at my next job, and this is an intern."

Lin Yi greeted Nanami Kento, who had come to visit, with great enthusiasm. Nanami Kento introduced himself and also gave a lame excuse to the underage Fushiguro Megumi sitting to the side.

"Mr. Nanami, I'm in this line of work, I know the rules, and I'm not curious. So, are you here because of your new job requirements, or have you already decided to accept my commission?"

"Requirements for the new job."

"That's a real shame. Since it's a work requirement, do you have official credentials? If not, I should be able to refuse."

"some."

Nanami Kento took out his wallet and placed a large denomination Fukuzawa Yukichi (10000 yen) in front of Hayashi.

Lin swiftly pocketed the Fukuzawa Yukichi card, then smiled and asked, "How can I help you?"

"Then I'll be rude, Mr. Hayashi Ichiro. Where were you last night?"

Kiyotaka Ichi adjusted his glasses and went straight to the point, asking about Lin Yi's whereabouts last night.

"Oh, last night, I took on a commission to help the client with some personal matters."

"What kind of request is it?"

"That doesn't seem like a question you should be asking, sir?"

"Then let me ask you another question, Mr. Lin Yilang. Is your request related to this place?"

Kiyotaka Ichichi pulled out a photo of the building where the crime scene was last night from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yi.

"Mr. Nanami, your new job is quite strange. Yes, it's related to this place. I'm helping my client deal with some minor troubles."

"So, Mr. Hayashi Ichiro, are you a sorcerer?"

Kiyotaka Ijichi stepped back slightly, while Kenjiro Nanami and Takuma Ino, who were sitting on either side of him, secretly mobilized their magical power and locked their eyes on Lin Yi in front of them.

But Lin Yi looked puzzled and asked, "Excuse me, what is a sorcerer? Is it the same profession as a medium? And what are you doing, kid?"

Lin Yi looked at Fukuro Megumi sitting at the very edge. With Lin Yi's height, he could just see Fukuro Megumi clasping her hands together, making a gesture that made a dog's head silhouette reflected in the sunlight, looking puzzled.

"Can't you see?"

"What can't I see? What am I supposed to see? In our line of work, we can't just look around."

Lin Yi's serious answer only made Nanami Kenji and Ino Takuma, who were highly focused, even more suspicious. They, along with Ijichi Kiyotaka, wanted to see a sign of lying on Lin Yi's face or find clues in his eyes.

Because at this moment, in the field of vision of Nanami Kento, Ino Takuma, Ijichi Kiyotaka, and Fushiguro Megumi, on both sides of Lin Yi, there were two dogs, one white and one black, staring intently at Lin Yi, slightly bowing, ready to attack at Fushiguro Megumi's command.

Lin Yi remained oblivious, merely glancing around in confusion and muttering, "Hmm? Why does it feel like something's watching me?"

Seeing Lin Yi like this, Fu Hei Hui lost the will to continue probing. He spread his hands apart, and the two dogs beside Lin Yi turned into shadows and disappeared into the darkness.

"Mr. Hayashi Ichiro, can you tell me what happened last night when you were dealing with that little problem? I think I can answer that."

Seeing that his probing had no effect and confirming that Lin Yi was just an ordinary person, Ichiji Kiyotaka took out five more Fukuzawa Yukichi cards from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"Of course I can answer. I was prepared to fight, but someone took care of it for me first. I just took a picture and handed the task over to the client."

"Then I have no further questions. I'm sorry to have bothered you, Mr. Lin Yilang. Goodbye."

Take care.

Not getting the answer they wanted, Ichiji and the others prepared to leave. Before leaving, Nanami Kento noticed the calendar hanging on Lin Yi's wall and saw that Lin Yi had drawn a red circle on October 31st.

"October 31st, Mr. Hayashi Ichiro, would you mind telling me what that day means to you?"

"Oh, that's just a vacation plan I'm making after work ends this year. October has really nice weather, perfect for traveling abroad and relaxing. Mr. Nanami Kento, although I don't know what your new job is, it shouldn't prevent you from doing a part-time job. Why don't you consider it?"

"Excuse me, farewell."

"goodbye."

Lin Yi stood on the balcony, watching Qi Haijian and his group drive away before returning to the living room and collapsing heavily onto the sofa.

He couldn't see the shikigami summoned by Fushiguro Megumi just now, thanks to his cheat ability, which was also the basis for his survival in this country where everyone has curse power and this country is filled with two major factions: curses, cursed spirits, and sorcerers.
