Curse Return: Demon Void Girl Doesn't Want to Be a Weakling

Gojo Satoru held up one finger and waved it, then changed the subject, "Speaking of which, your Kyoto school has already eliminated two people. We were the ones who exorcised the cursed spirits. Aren't you worried, Principal?"

"Hmph." Leyan Temple didn't want to pay attention to him, and just snorted coldly without responding.

Gojo Satoru, not wanting to make a fool of himself, put his leg off the control panel, took out his phone, and called Mashiro.

"Hey? Could you please take back the blue-haired girl from the Kyoto school?"

There was a half-second silence on the other end of the phone. Then Mashiro's voice came through.

"We've arrived."

As the sound reached Gojo Satoru's ears, Mashiro's figure also appeared on the surveillance screen.

"East? Or west?" Miwa spun around in place, and all directions looked the same.

The tree canopy overhead blocked out the sunlight, making it impossible to distinguish east from west.

She sighed and decided to walk in the direction that looked most like the exit.

Just then, someone tugged at her sleeve from behind.

"Waaaaaaah!!!"

Kasumi Miwa jumped up and leaped forward. Then she turned around and found Mashiro standing less than a meter behind her, having arrived at some unknown time.

The silvery-white wings obscured her vision, but she could still feel someone staring at her.

"...What are you yelling about?" Mashiro said, startled by Miwa Kasumi's scream.

"I...I...I didn't hear any footsteps!" Miwa Kasumi clutched her chest, her heart still pounding. "When did you get here?!"

"Just now."

It took San-lun Xia several breaths to steady her heartbeat.

She was frightened by this person once in the lounge, and now she's been frightened again. The psychological damage she's suffered today has exceeded the limit.

Mashiro tilted her head and looked at her, "You've been eliminated."

“Yes, I lost to the Zen temple.” Miwa Kasumi nodded and honestly admitted.

"I'll take you away from here to a safe place."

"Oh, okay, thank you for your help."

Mashiro raised her hand and grabbed Miwaka. "Get ready."

Miwa Kasumi took a deep breath and nodded: "I'm ready! Aaaaaaaah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Mashiro quickly moved her outside the arena.

"A tricycle? You're out of the game too?"

Nishimiya Momo sat under the shade of a tree, watching Miwa Kasumi being brought over and began to speak.

While still in the midst of the chaos, Miwa Kasumi heard a familiar voice and slowly calmed down.

"Nishimiya-senpai!" Miwa Kasumi ran to the shade of a tree and plopped down next to her. "I was defeated by Mayi's older sister. How are you?"

"I fought a nail thrower and lost." Nishimiya Momo placed the broom across her lap to inspect the cracks in the handle. "I can win next time."

A crow flew down from the treetop and landed on the clearing at the edge of the meadow, pecking at its wing.

"Speaking of which, I just encountered a crow over there that kept staring at me," said Miwa Kasumi, pointing to the crow on the grass.

“…This is a surveillance technique, allowing them to see the footage.” Nishimiya Momo glanced at the crow, then at Miwa Kasumi. “Wait, so you were talking to the crow just now?”

"I didn't!" Miwa Kasumi blushed.

In the monitoring room, Gojo Satoru looked at the two girls sitting side by side under the shade of a zelkova tree on the screen and chuckled.

This is what youth is all about.

Chapter 59 is coming.

Fushiguro Megumi ran through the stairwell of the residential building.

The old-fashioned apartment building has a wooden structure, and the corridor is so narrow that only two people can walk side by side.

He had just come from the forest area. Yu Quan stayed on the other side to help Maki-senpai and Inu-maki-senpai locate the remaining cursed spirits. Now he was all alone.

Turn left ahead, and then go through this corridor to reach the exit of the residential area.

He mentally calculated the route without stopping.

"call out."

Three arrows shot out from the corner at the end of the corridor, from the same direction but at three different angles.

Fushiguro Megumi dodged the first two, but the third one curved in mid-air and stabbed towards his shoulder.

He swung his cane backhand to deflect the arrow, which struck the wall with a dull thud.

He looked down at the arrow on the ground; the fletching was stained with blood, probably freshly applied.

The precision with which Kamo Kenki could control the trajectory of arrows in mid-air, this manipulation of blood, was a technique of his.

Sure enough, Noriyuki Kamo slowly walked over from the other end of the corridor, carrying a bow and arrows.

"You should still be able to summon shikigami, right?" Kamo Kenki stopped ten meters away, his eyes narrowed into slits. "Are you underestimating me?"

“Jade Dog is helping others find cursed spirits.” Fushiguro Megumi waved her cane, looking at Kamo Noriyuki’s quiver. “You’re the one who only has one arrow left, aren’t you? If you collapse from anemia, I won’t save you.”

"No need for you to worry."

Noriyuki Kamo nocked the last arrow, its tip gleaming coldly in the lamplight: "The blood was all prepared in advance."

"Well, you're quite well prepared." Fukuguro Megumi looked at him warily, raising his hands, ready to block at any moment.

Kamo Noriyuki smiled slightly, raised his hand, and shot out an arrow, but the target was not Fushiguro Megumi.

"What?" Fukuro Megumi's pupils shrank as a crack appeared in the ceiling above his head, spreading outwards from the arrow hole, before the entire wooden plank crashed down.

Wood chips and dust fell together, obstructing the view.

Just as Fushiguro Megumi was about to step back, Kamo Noriyuki's figure suddenly appeared in front of him from the other side of the dust, and a straight punch came crashing down.

Wow, so fast!!

Fushiguro Megumi took the hit with her arm, and the spot where she was struck felt faintly numb.

Is this person really that powerful?

Fushiguro Megumi took two light steps back to create some distance and swung her arms.

Upon seeing this, Kamo Kenki smiled, opened one eye, which was bloodshot and had bloodshot cracks around its socket.

"It's good that you were able to react, but you'll have to be careful from now on."

A barrage of rapid punches rained down on him, which Fushiguro Megumi barely managed to parry.

His speed and power are completely different from before!

He looked into Kenkichi Kamo's eyes. "Are you on drugs?"

"You noticed?" Kamo Noriyuki stopped his attack, a smile spreading across his face. "But could you please not call my technique drug-related?"

"Hmph, isn't it just something similar?"

Fushiguro Megumi began to fight back, swaying her body from side to side and constantly spinning her cane to strike Kamo Noriki.

Kamo Noriyuki bent his knees slightly and sank his body slightly. Taking advantage of this opening, Fushiguro Megumi reversed the right stick and used the end to stab Kamo Noriyuki's shoulder.

Kamo Kenki took the hit hard and stepped back, but the smile on his face did not disappear.

"It's rare to find a shikigami user so skilled in close combat." Kamo Kenki looked down and rubbed his shoulder where he had been poked. "Did you learn your staff techniques at a vocational high school?"

“Yes, it was taught by Maki-senpai.” Fushiguro Megumi gripped her cane again.

"You've grown up, I'm so happy."

"What's with this 'comradeship' thing that pops up every now and then?" Fushiguro Megumi struck hard, forcing Kamo Noriki back two steps. She shook her hand, which was a little numb from the recoil. "This is the first time we've met, isn't it?"

Kamo Noriyuki rubbed the spot where he had been hit and shrugged. "It's resonance, isn't it? You and I will both become the ones who support the three starter families from now on."

Then he was silent for a moment, "Although it's impossible now, I still want to kill Itadori Hisahito."

Fushiguro's fingers tightened on his cane, and he tentatively asked, "Is this an instruction from Principal Rakuganji?"

Noriyuki Kamo shook his head. "It's my own judgment, and as the next head of the Kamo family, I believe it's correct."

“You should be able to understand this too.” He paused. “I’m the same kind of person as you.”

"No, that's not true." Fushiguro Megumi's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing his words.

"...Isn't that so?"

“No.” Fushiguro Megumi shook her head. “You can say that to Maki. I have nothing to do with the Zenin family anymore.”

Noriyuki Kamo did not respond; he stared at Megumi Fushiguro, waiting for her to continue.

“And I don’t think I’m wrong.” Fushiguro Megumi put down her cane and let her hands hang at her sides.

"If helping others out of conscience, like that guy, is to be condemned, then we can't live without cursing each other from now on."

After Fushiguro finished speaking, he put his hands together and formed a hand seal.

Is it finally coming? The shikigami!

Kamo Kenki opened his eyes, ready to strike first, but before he could get there, Fushiguro Megumi's shikigami had already been summoned.

"【Full Elephant】!"

A gigantic elephant-shaped shikigami crashed down from the ceiling, spewing a massive wave from its trunk. The water struck Kamo Noriyuki squarely in the chest, carrying him off to the end of the corridor.

The wooden walls were breached by the water pressure, and wood chips and water droplets that didn't have time to disperse splashed onto the open ground outside.

In such an open space, Fushiguro Megumi was able to use that move!

The view cleared again, and Fushiguro Megumi stood at the edge of the wall, shouting, "[Nue]!"

really!

Kamo Kenki gritted his teeth and threw out a bag of blood plasma: "【Crimson Blood Technique - Crimson Binding】!"

The blood plasma exploded, forming a giant net in the air, wide enough to cover the wingspan of a nue.
