Traveled through time and space and became Sukuna, but the host was Yukinoshita?

[If I put your sister's finger in her mouth, can she still hold back the smile on her face? ]

[You dare!? No! You must not do anything rash! You can’t involve my sister in this!]

While trying to stop Lin Qi's sudden bold idea in her mind, Yukinoshita Yukino was barely dealing with her sister's teasing.

"We were walking on the street together after school, and you still say he's not your boyfriend. Yukino, don't you admit it?" Yangno snorted twice, then turned and moved closer to Hikigaya Hachiman.

"I'm just a classmate from the club." The latter quickly raised his hands and gave a French salute. "I came here just because of a request to find a cat, that's all."

"Hey, it's the club that Yukino founded." Yukinoshita Haruno was naturally aware of her sister Yukino's establishment of the Service Club. After all, she had Comrade Shizuka as her spy in school, and she often asked Shizuka Hiratsuka about Yukino's academic performance in school.

"Let's just leave it at that." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled, "But there are no cats on the construction site, so don't just run in. After all, these are very old buildings, and there is still some danger."

It seems that the lie that Hikigaya Hachiman told casually has temporarily deceived her, or maybe he really doesn't have the free time to continue teasing the two of them. Yukinoshita Haruno waved goodbye to the two of them: "Well, I have to go back to the company first, Yukino, don't play too late, bye~"

Looking at Yang No's departing back, until she got into a black luxury car and drove out of their sight, Yukinoshita Yukino breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally left."

Hikigaya Hachiman was still staring at the direction where the car disappeared. He always felt like he had seen that car somewhere.

"Okay, all the irrelevant people have disappeared, it's time to go in." Now that there was no one around, Lin Qi appeared directly in front of Yukinoshita Yukino's face. He controlled Yukinoshita to raise one hand, make a finger-snapping gesture, and use the cursed power to destroy the surrounding cameras.

Although he has seen Yukinoshita Yukino in this look several times, Hikigaya Hachiman still feels that having an extra mouth and an eye on her face is a bit strange, but after looking at it for a long time, he develops a subtle sense of coordination.

"Well, the main entrance seems to be locked." Hikigaya Hachiman pointed at the locked iron gate and said.

"Flip over, idiot." Lin Qi cursed angrily, "If you dare to say that you can't jump over, I will throw you over myself."

I knew this would happen. I am such an idiot for still holding on to hope.

The dead-eyed boy sighed silently in his heart: "No need for you to do it."

After looking around and making sure there were no passersby nearby, Hikigaya Hachiman carefully climbed over the iron gate and entered the construction site. He looked at the quiet and empty surroundings, turned around and said, "Nothing unusual, Yukinoshita, come over too."

The next second, he saw Yukinoshita Yukino take two steps back, then sprint forward and jump over the two-meter-high iron gate like a professional high jumper. She even did a somersault in the air before landing gracefully.

"Is this true..." Hikigaya Hachiman stared with his eyes wide open, and murmured in disbelief with his mouth wide open.

"With this body now, I can easily do such an impossible thing." Yukinoshita Yukino lifted her hair with her hand, with a surprised expression on her face.

She just vaguely felt that she should be able to jump over it easily, so she gave it a try. Unexpectedly, it was not only easy, but she even had room to spare.

"Stop being surprised by such insignificant things, okay?" Looking at the two people's lack of ambition, Lin Qi said angrily.

He could cut the office building in front of him in half with one strike, but his host and his cheap student were gloating over how they easily jumped over an iron gate. Was that reasonable?

"Hurry up, hurry up! Stop dawdling!"

At Lin Qi's urging, they came to the abandoned office building. Looking at the locked glass door, Lin Qi controlled Yukinoshita Yukino to accurately cut the door lock.

Behind the glass door was a dark passage, as if a giant beast had opened its mouth wide, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

The two looked at each other, pushed open the door together and stepped into the office building.

Chapter 19: Paid Shit-Taking Workers

The devil's hour refers to the moment when day and night alternate at dusk or dawn. The skyline is no longer clear at this moment, but becomes blurred as the afterglow of the setting sun fades away. The yin and yang worlds are briefly connected at this moment, and demons and monsters are able to appear in the world at this moment.

All in all, this is a time period that is said to be prone to encountering ominous things.

"Thank you for your useless science, Hikigaya-san. It would be better if you didn't get so scared that your legs are shaking." Yukinoshita Yukino said as she carefully observed her surroundings.

"I'm not scared, I'm just nervous." Hikigaya Hachiman retorted stubbornly, "Aren't you shaking with fear too?"

"I'm nervous too."

"..."

The two were silent for a moment, and Hikigaya curled his lips and said, "Let's not talk about this topic anymore."

"That's true." Yukinoshita Yukino agreed.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the office building, Lin Qi turned off the microphone and did not respond no matter how Yukinoshita Yukino called her. It was obvious that she had made up her mind not to help unless it was an emergency.

I thought I had found a big boss, but I ended up inviting someone to watch the show.

The first floor of the office building is a hall. All the furniture and decorations have been moved out, leaving only some traces of furniture being dragged. Dust and stains cover the ground, and there is no trace of the cursed spirit in the empty and quiet space.

"Do you want to go up?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino.

"That's the only way." Hikigaya Hachiman shrugged casually, "Will Master Lin Qi let us get away?"

"And according to the classic plot of horror movies, the place where we came in might have disappeared... Could it be that we really can't get out?" Hikigaya joked as he looked back worriedly. When he saw the open glass door, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, that old-fashioned but deadly thing didn't happen."

"Anyway, let's go to the second floor and take a look." After confirming that there was nothing unusual on the first floor, Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath and clenched her fists as if to cheer herself up.

"Oh." Hikigaya Hachiman nodded, and then saw her standing there in a daze. He couldn't help scratching his head, "What's wrong?"

A few seconds later, he saw a blue-green cursed energy rising from the girl's body, enveloping her like a flame.

After successfully activating the cursed power, Yukinoshita Yukino's anxiety and tension were dispelled. She explained, "Although I can initially control the cursed power now, I am still very unskilled. If I wait until the battle happens to try, it will be too late, so I should prepare in advance."

"So that's how it is." Hikigaya Hachiman nodded in understanding.

"can you do it?"

"Well, just barely."

After receiving Lin Qi's advice yesterday, he went home and locked himself in his room and worked hard all night. He even caused Komachi's dissatisfaction by making strange noises, but he was finally able to keep up with Yukinoshita's learning progress.

Not long after, a layer of azure cursed energy also ignited around Hikigaya Hachiman's body.

Although it is a bit wasteful to keep the cursed energy burning, it is much better than being stunned for a few seconds in a sudden battle and getting injured or even killed.

"It's so quiet."

She stepped onto the stairs carefully. The narrow stairwell was filled with the sound of their intertwined footsteps. Hearing her own echo, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.

"Will I never reach the second floor, or will the stairs just keep going in a circle and I can't leave?" Hikigaya Hachiman was a little scared.

As if she had imagined the scene that Hikigaya had described, Yukinoshita Yukino's body trembled, and she didn't even bother to use her usually sharp tongue that made use of various rhetorical techniques, and directly scolded: "Please shut up!"

"...Private Marseille." The dead-eyed boy apologized sincerely.

Fortunately, the situation that Hikigaya Hachiman described did not occur, and the two of them reached the second floor smoothly.

Compared to the spacious lobby on the first floor, the passage on the second floor seemed a bit narrow. As the sky grew darker, the light in the building gradually dimmed. After stepping onto the second floor, the flow of time seemed to speed up. The sunset soon set completely, and the office building without electricity was quickly shrouded in darkness. People could only see things in the faint moonlight. The shadows under their feet were dragged very long and merged into the darkness in front of them.

This sudden change also made the two people's vigilance reach the highest level.

However, the corridor was still silent, and the so-called cursed spirit still hadn't appeared. But it was precisely because of this unknown that people felt fear.

"Hikigaya-kun, please watch out behind you."

"I see."

The two of them walked slowly in the corridor with their backs to each other. After a while, they passed through the corridor and returned to the spacious office area. All the things here had been moved out, and only a few load-bearing columns were standing alone.

“Is there no such floor?”

Just when Hikigaya Hachiman was relieved, Yukinoshita Yukino stared at the dark area in front of her: "No, someone seems to be coming?"

"Hoo... Hoo..." Heavy breathing sounds came from the darkness in front of her. There was also a narrow passage over there, which seemed to lead to the restroom on this floor. "No... No... No, deduct my salary..."

With a hoarse murmur like an old bellows, a bloated figure staggered out of the darkness.

No, that can no longer be called a human being, it is just a monster with a human-like shape.

The body was made up of bloated pieces of flesh, and the head was shaped like a fish head. The pair of big, lifeless eyes on the head were very similar to the dead fish eyes of Hikigaya Hachiman. The limbs were shrunk into thin strips like SpongeBob SquarePants, and he was wearing a tattered suit that was cracked and corroded, as if it had melted directly to his body, with disgusting tumors on it.

"I... don't dare to poop at work anymore..." The cursed spirit staggered towards the two of them, its mouth opening and closing to spit out unclear words, "Don't... deduct my... salary..."

After seeing the enemy's face clearly, both of them showed expressions of disgust.

The guy in front of him is far more disgusting than the vicious dog-like cursed spirit that attacked Yukinoshita Yukino at home. I'm afraid that within two weeks after today, no fish will appear on the table in Yukinoshita Yukino's home.

"So disgusting, but what you said is a bit pitiful." Hikigaya Hachiman curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the cursed spirit with a slightly pityful look.

"Do you see any resonance in the opponent's dead fish eyes? Mr. Salty Fish." Perhaps because the enemy looked really weak, Yukinoshita Yukino no longer acted so nervous, and all her skills in taunting people returned.

"That's why I decided to be a househusband. If I become a corporate slave, I'm afraid I'll become like this."

Seeing the appearance of the cursed spirit in front of him, Hikigaya Hachiman became even more determined not to work.

Chapter 20: Unpaid Overtime Boss

"What's next?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the cursed spirit that was staggering towards them and said with an embarrassed look on her face.

Although the enemy in front of them did not seem to have much strength, their disgusting appearance made it difficult for them to attack, not to mention that they had no weapons in their hands, which meant that the two had to fight the enemy with bare hands.

"Run away?" Hikigaya Hachiman said in a funny way. Like Yukinoshita, he had to overcome some psychological difficulties first if he wanted to punch the monster covered with tumors.

While the two men hesitated, the enemy did not stop their actions.

The fish-man cursed spirit instinctively staggered towards the two sources of cursed power it sensed, and then its staggering movements suddenly stopped, as if a target had appeared within the wandering monster's search range. It changed its previous slow and stiff zombie-like movements and rushed towards the two people, shouting hoarsely.

"Wages...Salary!!!" The lifeless eyes suddenly lit up, as if the salted fish suddenly had a dream and was running towards a bright future while spitting out saliva.

"What have we become in this guy's eyes? A bunch of Fukuzawa Yukichi?!" Hikigaya Hachiman complained loudly as if to give himself courage.

Although the fishman cursed spirit in front of him looked weak and was actually very weak, and was not at all comparable to the cursed spirit that Yukinoshita Yukino first attacked at home, when such a monster with an inhuman appearance opened its mouth full of fangs and roared as it rushed towards him, the first thing he felt was a subconscious panic.

Yukinoshita Yukino took two steps back, looking hesitant, and no one knew what she was thinking about writing.

Hikigaya Hachiman took a step forward. Although he had said that he wanted Yukinoshita to be in the front, his physical actions were completely the opposite.

The fish-man cursed wolf rushed up howling, and was only five meters away from the two of them.

At this moment, Lin Qi started speaking and sighed.

【well! 】

As a sigh filled with disappointment sounded in her mind, Yukinoshita Yukino's mind suddenly went blank.

Time seemed to suddenly stop. At this moment, scenes of memories wrapped in bubbles flashed through the girl's mind.

"Think more about the nature of cursed power, and you will know why you failed just now. It is not that easy to truly master cursed power, but she is much stronger than Yukinoshita. After all, she has not succeeded yet."

"You can take back control of your body at any time, so what are you afraid of? If you hesitate, you will never achieve anything great!"

"Tsk tsk, in the end you still have to rely on others."

"Xue-no-chan, who is used to relying on others, is so cute~"

"Yukino, if you have any requests, just say them openly. Why are you being so shy? You are the daughter of the Yukinoshita family!"

What Lin Qi said, what her sister said, and what her mother said were like sharp arrows piercing her heart.

Am I really that unbearable?

At the moment when Hikigaya Hachiman was about to pass Yukinoshita Yukino, the latter suddenly moved.

Don't run backwards, run forward!

Perhaps it was just as Lin Qi, her sister and mother said, that she was a weak girl who was easily upset, hesitant about many things, and used to relying on others.

But it doesn’t matter, I have accepted my weakness, and all I have to do next is make changes.

I couldn't accept Lin Qi's sigh of disappointment in herself, I couldn't accept my sister's comments about my dependence on others, and I couldn't accept my mother's evaluation of myself as weak.

Basically, I don’t want to be disappointed in myself!

Forward! Face the ugly monster rushing towards you!

Fight! Then win! Then let Parasite-kun take back that sigh of disappointment!

What the girl lacks is not the strength to defeat the enemy, but the courage to face the enemy without fear.

I remember Lin Qi once said that her body had gradually departed from the level of ordinary humans and reached a higher level. At that time, Yukinoshita Yukino could not intuitively understand the meaning of this sentence.

But now she understands.

so slow.

After mustering up the courage and deciding to fight, the world before his eyes seemed to be completely new, and the movements of the cursed spirit seemed to be slowed down countless times and were clearly visible.

The girl's movements were much faster than those of the fishman cursed spirit. The distance of less than five meters was closed in the blink of an eye. The cursed spirit waved its sharp claws to grab Yukinoshita Yukino, and its shiny black nails were clearly reflected in its navy blue pupils.

Seeing that Yukinoshita was about to be disfigured by the attack of the fish-man cursed spirit, Hikigaya Hachiman's pupils suddenly shrank, his heart skipped a beat, and he shouted anxiously: "Hey! Yukinoshita... ah?"
