Himura Mafuyu then unzipped the backpack behind her and took out a silver-white iron rod from inside.
A gentle breeze brushed past, and the trees rustled, and even the sound of friction between the leaves was so clear in this silent night, and the stream water was flowing with a gurgling sound, and the three were stepping forward with confidence at this moment;
Because, other than being full of confidence in themselves at this moment, Yuuki-senpai would also dare to come at the first moment even if something happened, and they just needed to have the attitude that it was either them or the curse, who would die.
They were being favored by the heavens, because they had become jujutsu sorcerers, and they had also run into a friendly senpai and trustworthy comrades.
Actually… everyone was being favored by the heavens, because they had succeeded in being born into this world, and they were experiencing all kinds of "bizarre and strange" lives.
Although Itadori and Himura didn't know about the things that were circulating in the jujutsu world, Kugisaki Nobara remembered them vaguely;
"At night, entering from under the bridge, and there's also one thing, a gorge…"
The three, who were full of confidence, crossed the stream;
A sudden change occurred!!
It was like stepping into another world, and it had transformed from an empty gravel area into a place that was similar to a natural cave, and the top of the cave was covered in all kinds of tumor-like swellings, and they were wriggling like they were living things;
It seemed that the owner of the domain had sensed the invaders, and the path that they had left from behind was quickly wrapped by vines, and a cursed spirit suddenly drilled out from the wriggling swellings, and it was singing a pleasant sound in its mouth, and it seemed that it was welcoming the guests, who had arrived.
"Iyaaaaaah~!"
A sharp, high-pitched sound was echoing on the field, and the cursed spirit, which had four eyes and was like a groundhog, in the swellings was staring intently at the three, who had invaded.
"The sorcerer's range is this wide, and is this supposed to be whack-a-mole?"
Kugisaki Nobara surveyed her surroundings, and those wriggling swellings were just groundhog holes to her at this moment, and she was the "groundhog", who was about to be exorcised.
"Iyaaaaaah~!"
"Iyaaaaaah~!"
"Iyaa…"
It seemed that the cursed spirit's technique had been activated, and holes started to appear on the ground one by one, and the same cursed spirits were drilling out from the swellings in the sky, and they were all singing loudly, and they were staring intently at the three people on the field, and the number of them was increasing, and it seemed that they were going to fill this place up.
"Oh! So it really is whack-a-mole."
Itadori Yuji was waving his hands, and blue cursed energy was wrapping around his hands like flames, and a confident smile was revealed on his face.
"Then, you should just leave these to me."
Himura Mafuyu waved the rod in her hand, and blue cursed energy wrapped around her body, and then she rushed over, and she was waving the iron rod quickly with both hands to allow it to speed up;
Although her strength was inferior to others, and she was also the weakest among the four first-years, she was already trying to get stronger, and she had lost before, and she had lost more than once, and so she understood what getting stronger meant even more, and she could only protect herself and her friends by getting stronger in this "about to go berserk" world;
She had heard about the cursed spirits invading Tokyo Jujutsu High when she had woken up, and she had also seen Inumaki-senpai's unconscious appearance, and even the powerful senpai had been like that, so wouldn't she die even more miserably?
So, she had to get stronger, and the opportunities to get stronger were all in understanding them during the life-and-death battles with curses.
"Iya!"
"Thud!!"
The cursed spirit, who had just poked its head out from the hole, saw the young girl, who was wielding a rod, at this moment, and the iron rod, which was wrapped in cursed energy, had directly snapped it in half at the waist, and the force of her wielding it was so great that it felt like the ground was trembling because of it;
The young girl was slaying inside the cursed spirit group while wielding her rod, and that cursed spirit, who had poked its head out at the very start, had already disappeared at this moment, and it seemed that it had already merged into those clones.
"This cursed spirit doesn't have any offensive abilities."
Kugisaki Nobara, who was also exorcising the cursed spirits, surveyed her surroundings, and she sensed the flaws of this cursed spirit, and the main body didn't have any offensive abilities because of the equivalent exchange of the technique, and although this cursed spirit was limited to individuals, the range of the technique was too wide;
Although it was just a guess, this was the most reasonable explanation at this moment, and although there were a lot of cursed spirits, none of them would attack, and they were really just hiding like groundhogs, and the main body was also mixed among those hiding "groundhogs".
"Itadori."
"What's wrong?"
Itadori Yuji, who had heard Kugisaki Nobara calling his name, stopped the movements in his hands.
"You should just go and charge at them without any worries, and these are all targets, who won't fight back!"
Kugisaki Nobara said, and then she threw out three nails, and then she knocked them forcefully;
"Clang clang clang!"
Blue cursed energy cut through the air, and three nails pierced through three cursed spirits, who had drilled out from the ground, in an instant.
"Hmph, I know that even if you don't tell me!"
Itadori Yuji had just prepared to continue taking action when a voice was transmitted from behind, and it caused him to stop unconsciously.
"Huh? What's wrong? There's a guest, who's arrived before us?"
"..."
The sudden outsider had caused Itadori and Kugisaki to stop immediately, and they were staring intently at the cursed spirit, who had spoken human words, and Himura Mafuyu had already lost herself in the sea of cursed spirits at this moment, and she was wielding the rod quickly with both hands, and she was annihilating all of the cursed spirits, who were poking out from the ground, and she hadn't noticed the situation on Itadori's side, and after all, the cursed spirits' sharp "Iyaa" sound was already loud enough.
"This guy…"
Itadori Yuji glanced around, and he felt that this place wasn't much of a threat to Kugisaki and Mafuyu, and he said, "I'll be the one to exorcise this guy."
"Exorcise me?"
Kechizu scratched his eyes with his left hand, and his two mouths laughed loudly and said, "What's wrong? Do you want to play with me? Although the mission that my brothers and I have been assigned doesn't include killing jujutsu sorcerers, it's fine if you want to play with me!"
"Mission?"
Itadori Yuji, who had heard the key point, decided to prioritize resolving him, and after all, cursed spirits, who could communicate normally, were truly rare, and because of its special nature, Itadori decided to ask what the mission in his mouth was;
He definitely wouldn't have paid attention to these things in the past, but the situation was different now, and it might be related to those Special Grade cursed spirits, who Yuuki-senpai was investigating;
Those guys, who had invaded Tokyo Jujutsu High.
"Ah, you should quickly resolve that disgusting guy."
Kugisaki Nobara didn't care after hearing that Itadori Yuji was going to resolve him himself, and after all, Itadori was a crazy person, who would fight people with his life on the line, and what was more important now was to capture the main body of that "groundhog", who was running around randomly;
"Straw Doll Technique Resonance!"
The nails were shot out towards the "groundhogs", who were running around randomly, in an instant, and the "groundhogs" at this moment had become scarce compared to the start, because most of them were on Himura Mafuyu's side.
"Iyaaaaaah~!"
The cursed spirit's piercing screams were echoing in his ears, and Himura Mafuyu slapped a "groundhog", which had just poked its head out, with her left hand, and she left a star mark on its head;
"Star Mark Manipulation Control!"
As the technique was released, the cursed spirit, who had shrunk back, poked out from the hole again at this moment, but its eyes weren't on Mafuyu, who was slaughtering, and it was surveying the locations of the other groundhogs, and there was more than one, who was doing this;
The next second, it disappeared from its original location.
"Iyaaaaaah~!"
The "groundhogs" poked their heads out, and it seemed that they were mocking her, and they were staring intently at the young girl, who was being surrounded by a large number of clones; they were all the main body, but they weren't the main body at the same time, and he would always be around unless "he" in the technique was completely annihilated.
"Eat!"
Himura Mafuyu said softly, and those "groundhogs", who had been marked by her, started to turn against each other collectively, and they swallowed those "groundhogs", who had already poked their heads out, and they were devouring them.
The war between "groundhogs" and "groundhogs" had started, and they started to devour each other;
And Himura Mafuyu, who had started all of this, was watching all of these things silently, and after all, her own strength was limited, and it was better to just allow them to slaughter each other.
Her eyes were somewhat lowered, and it seemed that she was exhausted, and the young girl was holding the iron rod and sitting in the center of the battlefield, and she was listening to the sounds of the curses devouring each other; the cursed spirits' heads were falling from the sky one by one, and they were rolling on the ground, and their unwilling eyes were staring intently at the front, and they were staring at Himura Mafuyu…
It was raining, and warm rainwater, which was mixed with red, was sprinkling onto the young girl's body, and the cursed spirits' heads seemed to be ornaments in the rain, and they were falling like hailstones, and they were slamming onto the ground heavily.
The rain was falling non-stop, and that piercing sound of mockery had transformed into terror at this moment, and the groundhogs, who had been surrounding Himura Mafuyu originally, were fleeing at this moment, and they were fleeing outwards, and he would really die if this internal conflict continued!!
"Hoo…"
Himura Mafuyu got up slowly while looking at the cursed spirits, who had started to flee, and she let out a long breath, and she made hand seals and said, "We should be buried together, Star Mark Manipulation Detonate!"
The Star Mark Manipulation technique had three abilities, but she had also been playing it more and more creatively as Himura Mafuyu had been studying her own technique, like Detonate, for example, and the marks, which had been left on other people, would disappear after detonating them.
But Control and Disorder wouldn't, and the marks would still exist even if they were used, and one of them was to control other people, but it could only be used when the opponent was weaker than her, and one of them was to disrupt the cursed energy flow inside other people's bodies.
Because the marks that the technique had left were still around, she had the sudden idea of what would happen if those marks absorbed the cursed energy inside other people's bodies, and then they self-destructed?
Anyway, they had already been controlled, and it wasn't too difficult to inject cursed energy into the marks that had been left in Star Mark Manipulation, and it was just that it was somewhat mentally taxing;
And at this moment…
"Boom!!!"
A violent sound of commotion was echoing on the field, and the rocks, which had been constructed from cursed energy, started to collapse, and the violent sound of commotion had caused everyone on the field to be paying attention.
"Mafuyu is playing too crazily."
Kugisaki Nobara had recognized that this was Himura Mafuyu's masterpiece with just a glance, and the sound of the explosion was extending along the way, and just as she was preparing to retreat, a hand cut through this cursed spirit's technique, and it suddenly grabbed Kugisaki Nobara's shoulder and pulled her out.
"Eh?!"
Kugisaki Nobara, who had been pulled suddenly, was stunned, and she recognized that the pair of rough hands on her shoulder and right arm belonged to the cursed spirit, who was confronting Itadori Yuji, and he had reinforcements!
Because Yuuki-senpai's fingers weren't this thick!!
"Kugisaki!!"
Itadori Yuji's pupils contracted while looking at Kugisaki Nobara, who had been pulled away suddenly.
"What's wrong? Is it a brother?"
Kechizu looked at the direction, where Kugisaki Nobara had been pulled away, and he ran over in a flurry and said, "I'll go too!"
"Eh?!"
Itadori Yuji was in a dilemma for a moment while looking at the cursed spirit, who had suddenly run out, and who should he go to save, Mafuyu, who was inside, or Kugisaki, who was on the outside?
Itadori Yuji gritted his teeth while looking at the space, which was collapsing, and he still decided to go and help Himura Mafuyu, and her cursed energy had definitely bottomed out at this moment after she had activated a technique on such a large scale, and not to mention that Yuuki-senpai was on the outside, and Kugisaki would definitely prioritize helping Mafuyu if he was the one, who had been pulled away.
"Get lost! Don't touch me, you idiot!!"
Kugisaki Nobara, who had been pulled out, swung her hammer forcefully and slammed it at the unknown guy, and she wasn't expecting Itadori to come over at this moment, and after all, Mafuyu needed him more on that side.
"So it's a female?" Eso had a look of apology, and he apologized while striking what he thought was an elegant pose, "Then I'm truly being rude."
"Uh…"
Kugisaki Nobara only felt that her eyes were about to be ruined while looking at the man, who was wearing sexy lingerie for females and was striking a flirtatious pose, and she didn't know how to describe the man before her anymore.
"The mission that my brothers and I have been assigned… doesn't include killing jujutsu sorcerers… and I won't make things difficult for you if you want to retreat, miss."
Eso said with an elegant tone.
