Consider Me!

Geto Suguru didn't know what he liked.

Before, when he was on missions with Gojo Satoru, he hadn't been this lost.

Until Gojo Satoru walked further and further away, gradually leaving him behind.

Until he could no longer distinguish himself.

"Why would you say something like that? Aren't you afraid he'll go down the wrong path?"

In a quiet restaurant, Tsukumo Yuki happily ate a Moscow chicken wrap, asking Zenin Shinsuke.

"Compared to what I said, aren't your words more likely to mislead him?"

Zenin Shinsuke rolled his eyes at her.

What was wrong with doing something you liked? No one was born to save the world, and besides, not everyone had the ability to save the world.

"That's too much! I was just stating my opinion, how could I mislead him?"

Tsukumo Yuki was unconvinced.

Her conversation with Geto Suguru was just an exchange of views; the final choice still depended on his own judgment.

She believed that a Special Grade sorcerer, even if lost, would make a choice they wouldn't regret.

"Heh."

To this, Zenin Shinsuke just chuckled. Normally, that would be true; a few casual remarks wouldn't have such a powerful effect.

However, the other party was just a teenager. With everything else piling up, a few words could very well become the trigger.

But none of this had anything to do with him.

As a specially appointed teacher, he had already counseled the young man, barely fulfilling his responsibility as a teacher. As for the outcome, he didn't care and wasn't interested.

"Oh, right, you can owe me the money for now. I'm a bit tight on cash lately, I'll pay you back later."

Tsukumo Yuki said nonchalantly, as if she were already familiar with the process of not repaying debts.

Hearing this, Zenin Shinsuke's cheek twitched slightly. He knew it; this woman was an old hand, no less than him.

So, this trip was for nothing? He didn't get his money back and even paid for a meal?

He just got his motorcycle fix.

"Where are you freeloading these days?"

Tsukumo Yuki asked the question that was on her mind.

"Don't talk nonsense, am I the kind of person who freeloads?"

Zenin Shinsuke said, his face not blushing.

Tsukumo Yuki looked unconvinced, "Don't tell me you've turned over a new leaf?"

"I'm currently a specially appointed teacher at Jujutsu High, so I don't need to freeload anymore."

Besides, not freeloading was actually turning over a new leaf.

"Hahaha, stop kidding me. You don't take missions, just like me. With Jujutsu High's salary, is it even as much as you used to earn in a day?"

Tsukumo Yuki burst into laughter. She didn't believe that someone who had freeloaded for seven or eight years would suddenly reform.

How could a man who had made quick money be interested in Jujutsu High's meager salary?

Zenin Shinsuke didn't retort, just calmly ate his meal.

"No? You're really not eating anymore?"

Seeing his calm expression, Tsukumo Yuki was a little shocked. Was this still the same greedy man?

In response, Zenin Shinsuke stated that he had never been greedy for money, it was just that many activities abroad required money.

Like small bets for fun.

However, that decadent lifestyle had temporarily ended.

Seeing Zenin Shinsuke nod, Tsukumo Yuki's eyes flickered, "So, you're giving me a chance?"

Not freeloading meant she had an opportunity.

"What chance?"

Zenin Shinsuke didn't understand what Tsukumo Yuki meant.

Tsukumo Yuki looked at him with wide eyes, "If I remember correctly, you're already twenty-six this year, twenty-seven by East Asian reckoning, almost twenty-eight. By that calculation, you're almost thirty!"

"It's not good to be single at such an age. How about it, have you considered finding a girlfriend? Want to consider me!"

Tsukumo Yuki rested her hands on the table, leaned forward, and moved closer to Zenin Shinsuke, blinking her eyes.

If she could get this man, her first plan wouldn't be impossible to continue researching. After all, if they were a couple, she could not only get his body for free, but she wouldn't have to spend money!

It was killing two birds with one stone!

Zenin Shinsuke stared at Tsukumo Yuki, who was sending him sparks, and immediately frowned, "Don't think about not paying me back! I'm telling you, you can't get away with it."

Don't think he couldn't see it; she was trying to get something for free again.

She even had designs on his body this time. That woman is wickedly cunning!

"Sigh..."

Tsumiki Ninety-nine sighed, "To think he saw right through me."

That idiot.

She cursed inwardly, then continued to gnaw on her chicken wrap.

After getting a free meal, Tsumiki Ninety-nine rode off on her scooter, bidding farewell to Maki Zenin.

"Goodbye, don't miss me too much."

She came and went in a hurry; Tsumiki Ninety-nine had to go off searching for a way to save the world again.

She had already made a decision in her heart: if this guy still hadn't found a girlfriend by the time she returned, she would have to resort to more forceful methods.

While his strength was not to be underestimated, she was a dignified Special Grade Sorcerer. Taking down someone who couldn't even use cursed techniques would be as easy as pie.

Watching Tsumiki Ninety-nine depart, Maki Zenin felt that getting his money back would be rather difficult.

He was completely unaware that he had already become the target of her affections.

And so, Maki Zenin returned to his peaceful life once more.

Not long after, he learned of the incident where Jujutsu High's Special Grade sorcerer Suguru Geto massacred a village.

Undoubtedly, even with this small interference from him, this event could not be prevented.

The higher-ups in the Jujutsu world declared Suguru Geto a curse user and a target for execution.

Maki Zenin didn't pay too much attention to Suguru Geto's choice, merely continuing his peaceful life day after day.

In the courtyard.

Maki Zenin was squatting with a stone weighing several tons, heat radiating from him like he had just emerged from a steam bath.

"Ooh, cousin's become Steam-Man! So cool!"

Maki Zenin cheered excitedly from a distance, her eyes shining, her small mouth agape in admiration.

Meanwhile, Mai was beside her, mimicking the movements of her future master, carrying a wooden board and exercising.

Although she hadn't officially taken him as a master yet, she came here to learn almost every day to acquire true skills sooner.

She carefully observed how this cousin of hers grew stronger.

Originally, Maki Zenin had sworn never to come to this courtyard again, but her sister dragged her here every day to learn stealthily, ignoring Maki's pleas.

She felt lonely without her sister's company and could only force herself not to be afraid, knowing that with her sister there, she wouldn't be eaten by the scary brother!

From being too afraid to come at first, to watching her sister train from afar, she had now completely overcome her fear of him.

She gradually understood that he wasn't some monstrous human but the brother of her and her sister.

He didn't bully them like others did.

This transformed Maki from someone who used to cry when scared by him to a complete fangirl.

After all, the mere fact that others dared not bully them when she and her sister came here was enough to make her admire this brother.

"What Steam-Man? Be careful, I'll eat you if you talk nonsense."

"Nyah nyah nyah~, Maki's not scared!"
