Chapter 143: Going to See Manda.
"What's the situation?"
Tokyo High, Principal's Office.
Tatsuro looked at Noa Yorishie sleeping on Shura's back and asked, "This matter should be handled by the jujutsu higher-ups, right?"
By the time he returned from Chiba to Jujutsu High, it was already night. Tatsuro had brought the little girl to the principal's office to be handled by Principal Yaga and had explained the whole story.
"Mm, I understand."
Masamichi Yaga glanced at the little girl's innocent face, then brought up official business, "By the way, there are almost two months until this year's exchange event. You'll be participating, right?"
"The exchange event, huh..."
The first person Tatsuro thought of when the exchange event was mentioned was Aoi Todo. He heard that during last year's "Night Parade of a Hundred Demons," Todo had single-handedly defeated five first-grade cursed spirits and one special-grade. Although he himself had successfully repelled Suguru Geto...
But that wasn't Geto's full strength. The majority of the cursed spirits under Geto's control had all been deployed to Tokyo's Shinjuku and Kyoto. If he had brought all of them with him, Tatsuro probably wouldn't have even been able to touch his shadow and would have been worn down and killed.
A little bit of anticipation, then.
Tatsuro agreed, "I understand. In that case, I'll go back to my room to sleep first."
He then stood up and pulled Noa Yorishie, who was sleeping on Shura's back, up, handing her to Principal Yaga.
"No, you take this girl with you too."
Masamichi Yaga averted his gaze and said, "Reporting to the higher-ups takes time, so you take care of her for these few days."
"Huh!?"
"No, how am I supposed to take her?"
Tatsuro quickly refused. After all, he himself was only 16. Why would he take on a child when he was bored stiff? Did he not have to go out on missions anymore?
Masamichi Yaga couldn't be bothered. Anyway, he didn't know how to take care of children either. He directly dumped her on Tatsuro to let him have the headache, waved his hand, and said, "I'll leave her to you. Good night."
As he spoke, he lay down on the sofa and went directly to sleep, striking a "what can you do to me" pose.
"Mmm..."
Noa Yorishie, having been disturbed, rubbed her eyes. She didn't seem to feel that she was floating in the air, or perhaps she was used to sleeping like this, and then she went back to sleep.
"..."
Tatsuro looked at Noa Yorishie, who had fallen asleep again, completely speechless, but he could only take her with him. After patting Shura's body, he left with Noa Yorishie in tow, even thoughtfully turning off the light and closing the door.
He didn't know how normal people took care of children. Anyway, all he knew was that the child just had to not die. To be honest, he was going to be incredibly busy these next few days and had no spare energy to waste on childcare. It was better to let Lady Katsuyu worry about it; she should be more than willing.
The talk with Manda, the regenerative nature of my eyes, the expansion of Domain Expansion... he had to tackle these one by one.
Click—
Returning to his room.
Lady Katsuyu's voice came through, "Welcome back, Tatsuro-kun, Little Shura."
"I'm back," Tatsuro and Shura called out in unison.
"I'll have to trouble you to take care of this child, Lady Katsuyu. After I take a shower, I'm going into the scroll to talk to that stupid snake."
Tatsuro handed over Noa Yorishie and then walked into the bathroom alone.
"Okay."
Lady Katsuyu used her soft body to catch the girl. Then, remembering that Little Megumi had come by at noon to talk about learning 'Sage Mode,' she said to Tatsuro in the bathroom:
"By the way, Little Megumi came over at noon. He said he wants to learn Sage Mode from me."
"Fushiguro Megumi, huh..."
Tatsuro, who was showering, recalled Megumi's self-reproachful expression that morning and said, "Then teach him. It's not a secret anyway. It's just more trouble for you, Lady Katsuyu."
"It's fine. I'm usually free anyway. But this child is?"
Looking at the cute little thing on her body, Lady Katsuyu also took a great liking to her.
"She's fostering with us for a few days. She'll be leaving in a few days."
Tatsuro, having finished his cold shower, walked out naked. He had only taken two steps when he realized there was a child in the house now. Walking around naked might be a bad influence on her. He quickly ran back to put on shorts before coming out, relieved.
"Fostering? That's such a pity."
Lady Katsuyu felt some regret. After all, she liked children very much and wondered when Little Luo would have a child for her to take care of. Seeing she was dirty, she then took her into the bathroom to help her bathe.
Tatsuro glanced at Shura, who was tired from playing today and was lying on the ground asleep. He squatted down and kneaded its doggy head a few times before leaving with satisfaction.
He lifted the mattress and took out the 'Universal Summoning Scroll' from inside. Although he didn't know what that arrogant Manda wanted to talk to him about, he absolutely had to be on guard against Gamabunta when he went inside.
That guy's personality would definitely lead him to swing his sword and chop him into dregs. After all, it was just his soul body going in, which didn't have much combat power, and even then, not much. He had to rely entirely on Lady Katsuyu for protection.
He unrolled the giant scroll, placed his right hand on the two "Summoning" characters, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Gamabunta squatting right beside him. His two frog hands were placed on his sword hilt. The giant blade not only reflected a sharp, cold glint but also Tatsuro's awkward smile.
"Go... good evening. The moonlight is beautiful tonight."
"..."
Gamabunta took a puff from his pipe and didn't reply. He just raised his right hand, pointed at the sky, and then made a slicing gesture across his own neck.
He then roared loudly, "Where's the moon in this damn place! Are you asking to die!?"
"Let's... let's not get caught up in the details."
Feeling guilty, Tatsuro didn't argue with him but adopted an agreeable attitude. After all, he had stood him up for a good half a year.
"Regardless, take a slash from me first."
Gamabunta silently drew the short sword plunged into the ground and then slashed at Tatsuro.
"Swoosh—"
The sound of it tearing through the air came out. Tatsuro quickly dodged, his pupils instantly turning into the three-tomoe Sharingan. He said:
"If you make another move, I will fight back."
Although it was his soul body at the moment, his Sharingan was linked to his soul. This was why he dared to think about plucking out his eyes if they went blind and then creating new ones.
The benefits of 'Reverse Cursed Technique'—if successful, he wouldn't need the Eternal Mangekyo. He could just dig them out when they were worn out.
"Brat, if you could fight, you should have said so earlier!"
Gamabunta, seeing the three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes, no longer held back, his short sword swinging out cleanly.
Sweeping, uppercutting, throat-sealing, cleaving... that seemingly large and clumsy body was not slow at all when wielding a sword.
The ground that was split open automatically repaired itself. The sound of the person and the frog fighting attracted the attention of many slumbering summoning beasts. They opened their long-dormant eyes one after another.
Because they didn't get hungry, most summoning beasts chose to hibernate; they were unwilling to be ordered around by others. But they had all experienced war, and the sound of battle, engraved in their very bones, awakened the belligerent cells within their bodies.
They then twisted their giant forms. The sound of hissing and rattling chains echoed around the person and the frog.
They seemed to have arrived at the snake's nest...
