Unsuitable, We Are Too Familiar

After dinner, once the Maki and Maki sisters returned, the entire house was left with only Shinsuke Zenin and Yuki Tsukumo.

Shinsuke Zenin leaned back on the sofa, turned on the TV, and casually asked, "What brings you back this time?"

Normally, Yuki Tsukumo wouldn't return so easily.

After all, it was easier to find ways to save the world in other countries.

She wanted to understand why there were so few Jujutsu Sorcerers in other countries and why far fewer Cursed Spirits were born.

The ratio of domestic to foreign Jujutsu Sorcerers was about 99:1, with 99% being domestic and only 1% foreign.

The number of curses born was also roughly in this proportion.

If she could figure out the reason, perhaps the root of curses could be solved.

Yuki Tsukumo took off her shoes, lay down on the sofa, and winked playfully, "Of course, I came back to see if you've fallen."

"And to catch up, is that not allowed?"

Hearing this, Shinsuke Zenin's expression remained unchanged, "We're all adults, and you're almost thirty. Stop saying such childish things."

"Mmm..."

Yuki Tsukumo's cheeks puffed up immediately upon hearing this, and she shot him a fierce glare.

"Can't you just play along with me?"

Shinsuke Zenin didn't reply. He wasn't a child.

"To tell you the truth, I just wanted to see you, and also to find out if there have been any changes at Jujutsu High."

Yuki Tsukumo sat up, crossed her legs on the sofa, propped her chin with one hand, and looked at the man beside her.

"What do you want to know? I'm a teacher at Jujutsu High now, so I can reluctantly help you with your homework."

"I never expected you to actually work for Jujutsu High," Yuki Tsukumo pouted.

Seeing him work for Jujutsu High made her a little unhappy. Those people weren't thinking about changing the world at all.

They only cared about preserving themselves and maintaining balance, never considering the world as a whole.

"It's just a matter of give and take."

"As for you, not only did you not take on missions, but you also caused Geto Suguru to become a Curse User.

He's now wholeheartedly burning himself for the world, intending to kill all non-sorcerers."

Yuki Tsukumo's expression was calm, "That was his choice. Even without my interference, he would have eventually walked down this path, possibly even more extreme."

"The most I did was make him make his choice earlier."

She was a bit surprised when she learned that Geto Suguru had chosen that simplest path.

As expected of a young man, he chose the easiest path to save the world, which was also the most difficult.

Without the strength to surpass a Special Grade sorcerer, this path was bound to fail, unless he could win over Satoru Gojo, or her.

Unfortunately, she wasn't considering that path for now.

As for Satoru Gojo, he probably wouldn't stand by his side either.

"I remember you also said some bad things, right? If we're being honest, you're also an accomplice."

Yuki Tsukumo glared at Shinsuke Zenin.

"Heh heh."

Shinsuke Zenin chuckled. If they were to count it that way, Satoru Gojo wouldn't escape either, and even the entire world was involved.

It wasn't anyone's fault, but the world's fault?

"You should get some rest. It's getting late."

Shinsuke Zenin turned off the TV and returned to his room.

Fortunately, the house he had bought back then was large enough, so he wouldn't have to worry about a friend having nowhere to stay.

Watching Shinsuke Zenin enter his room, Yuki Tsukumo pondered. Perhaps... she should take this opportunity...

Inaction breeds regret. What happened today told her that if she didn't get what she wanted now, it might become someone else's very soon.

About twenty minutes later, the house fell silent. Yuki Tsukumo showered, changed into her pajamas, and tiptoed out of her room.

She arrived at the door of Shinsuke Zenin's room.

She gently pressed the doorknob and found that the door was locked. She immediately became furious.

What did this mean? Was he that distrustful of her? Or was he deliberately guarding against her?

Shinsuke Zenin felt innocent about this. It was simply because tomorrow was Saturday, and without any surprises, the two girls, Maki and Maki, would come over early.

Moreover, Maki would definitely sneak into his room to bother him.

However, Yuki Tsukumo knew none of this. She only knew that she was very angry right now.

Guarding against her, huh? She was determined to have her way today, and no one could stop her.

A faint trace of cursed energy emerged, and with a "click," the door opened.

A mere door lock, how could it possibly stop her, a dignified Special Grade Sorcerer.

She gently pushed the door open, walked in, and then closed it.

The corners of her lips turned up slightly, and she rejoiced inwardly, Truly worthy of me!

"What are you doing?"

Shinsuke Zenin turned on the light and calmly looked at Yuki Tsukumo, who was sneaking around, his expression a little strange.

With such a commotion, couldn't he feel it?

"Ah!"

"What are you doing? You scared me!"

Yuki Tsukumo jumped in fright when the light was suddenly turned on, instinctively clutching her chest, trembling slightly. She was quite formidable.

"This is my room, and you're asking me what I'm doing?" Shinsuke Zenin was somewhat skeptical, wondering if this woman's IQ was a bit problematic.

"Alright, I'm done playing games. I did it on purpose. It's already this obvious, do I need to say more?"

Since she was caught red-handed, Yuki Tsukumo stopped pretending. She put her hands on her hips, looking utterly shameless.

No matter what happened today, nothing could stop her. She had been eyeing this prize for a long time and needed to secure it firmly before she could feel at ease.

"You..."

Shinsuke Zenin's eyes held a complex emotion. He had always thought Yuki Tsukumo was joking with him, but he never expected this woman was genuinely interested in his body.

And now she wasn't even pretending anymore?

"We're not suitable for each other."

"How are we not suitable? You don't know until we try, how can you say we're not suitable?"

Yuki Tsukumo pouted, puffing out her chest. "Am I not pretty?"

"Pretty."

"Is my figure not good?"

"Good."

"Is my strength not great?"

"Great."

"I know, you look down on me for being poor, right? I'll work hard and earn money from now on, is that okay? I'll let you live off my earnings your whole life!"

Yuki Tsukumo realized the problem and quickly made a promise.

"It's none of those things."

Shinsuke Zenin didn't care about money.

Now that he had quit gambling, he didn't care about having a lot of money; as long as it was enough, it was fine.

"Then what is the reason?"

Yuki Tsukumo didn't understand. Where was she not good enough for him?

Shinsuke Zenin scratched his head and tilted his head slightly. "Well... we're too familiar with each other, and I feel too embarrassed to make a move."

"Huh?"

Yuki Tsukumo was instantly dumbfounded. She had actually lost because of this!

Was this the reason childhood sweethearts could never compare to someone who came later??

"I don't care! You're embarrassed, but I'm not!"

Yuki Tsukumo lunged at Shinsuke Zenin, tackling him onto the bed, and turned off the light as she purred:

"It's not familiar with the lights off."

Shinsuke Zenin instinctively tried to push her away, but a wet sensation had already imprinted itself.

His stiffened hands eventually rested on her back.

This was the first time he had been so passive.

She really was an unreasonable woman
