Nanami Kento Is Still Working Overtime / Kanoe Kirie Wants to Atone

What followed was spoken to her.

"Just consider it the power that I awakened this month. I would only say this to others."

Miyauchi Hiyage said this, but to Fujimiya Miki, it meant something else entirely.

In other words, Miyauchi Hiyage has awakened more than one power, but to avoid trouble, he is only planning to show this part of his power to the other side for the time being?

So, is the hidden power of Miyauchi Hiyage related to the mysterious object mentioned by the two Kanoe Yuko during their conversation?

Fujimiya Miki was pondering this.

Meanwhile, on Miyauchi Hiyage's side, after confirming that Fujimiya Miki teleported over with him without any issues, he took out his phone and started calling for backup.

Chapter 184: Kento Nanami, still working overtime

Nerima Ward, Tokyo.

For the Kento Nanami, tonight is another night of working overtime.

Originally, these Sorcerers mainly dealt with cursed spirits.

However, with the rapid pace of Mystery Revival in the past year or two, monsters and demons that no one has ever seen before have appeared from time to time. As a result, the relationships between different supernatural systems have become much closer due to these new forces.

If a real situation arises, Onmyoji will help exorcise cursed spirits, and Sorcerers can also deal with undead apostles who have wandered into Japan.

Today, Kento Nanami went with several Exorcists to deal with a batch of newly emerging supernatural creatures that resembled vampires.

These guys suddenly appeared in Tokyo in the last month, and their identities could not be discovered until their power was used.

These guys not only suck human blood, but also eat human flesh.

You could even say that those creatures that look no different from humans have humans as their only food source.

In less than a month, they had already secretly hunted down many ordinary people.

Fortunately, these guys aren't like vampires who can convert more companions through the Embrace.

Although the higher-ups in the Reverse Side World have not yet figured out how these creatures, who call themselves ghouls, appeared in Tokyo in groups.

However, the attitudes of the various factions in the Reverse Side World towards these humanoid creatures that feed on humans are not significantly different.

Try to capture some prisoners alive for interrogation, and once we find out their origins, we'll wipe them all out.

"What an unpleasant job," Kento Nanami, adjusting his glasses as he looked at the carnage after severing the arm of a ghoul that was devouring human flesh using his Innate Technique.

Although he had seen far more hellish scenes than this during his career as Sorcerers, his enemies were always those cursed spirits that were inherently quite ugly.

Among these, only a very few cursed spirits appear to resemble humans, but the distinct differences between them and humans are still immediately apparent.

But these guys who call themselves ghouls are different.

They look almost indistinguishable from humans.

Fighting these guys was something he wasn't quite used to.

Who created these ghouls whose identities cannot be found and brought them to Tokyo in groups?

While continuing to curse this shitty era in his heart, and counting down the days until he had gone overtime again, Kento Nanami finished dealing with the area he was responsible for that day with the Exorcists. He then nodded to the Exorcists beside him, indicating that they would take care of the rest of the work.

After all, the Jujutsu Society is small and there aren't many researchers. The Jujutsu High only needs one or two ghoul researchers. These are actually outsourced orders placed by the Church and Shinto with money from higher-ups in the jutsu field.

Just as Kento Nanami was about to change out of his blood-stained work clothes to relax, the ringing of the phone made his already low spirits plummet even further.

Upon seeing the familiar name under the caller ID, Kento Nanami's expression changed again.

Is the other party calling now because they've learned the truth about this world from the shrine maiden at Takanomiya Shrine, and are now calling to inquire about the situation here?

With that thought in mind, Kento Nanami answered the phone.

However, the news he heard from Miyauchi Hiyage after answering the phone immediately worsened his mood.

Miyauchi Hiyage did indeed realize the other side of this world according to his idea, and he also personally met with the ghost of Yuuko.

But the information doesn't mention that Yuko actually split into two half a century ago!

One is the ghost of Kanoe Yuko, who was the main body but lost her memory and lived in a daze for sixty years, suppressing another clone in her subconscious.

The other is Kageyuko, who has borne all the negative forces and has been relying on the negative emotions born from the school to strengthen herself over the past sixty years in an attempt to regain Shadow Yuuko.

Now, the mystery has indeed been solved.

Why is it that Kanoe Yuko, who was already classified as First-Class Grudge ten years ago, has never attacked an ordinary person in the past half-century?

It turns out that the other person's desire for revenge has never faded; on the contrary, it has been growing stronger over time. It's just that there's another remote control controlling her from the side.

As a result, because the other party had been stable for too long, Shinto lowered his guard against them, which ultimately led to the other party gaining power in recent years that was enough to turn against his own body.

If the other party really devours my original body, I might immediately become a top-tier Vengeful Spirit.

Thinking about Miyauchi Hiyage's description on the other end of the phone.

Even if the other party hasn't reached the level of a top-tier Vengeful Spirit yet, it's probably not far off.

Hiiragi Inori, whom he sought out for help, is probably in danger now!

"Is it safe over there?" he asked Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage over the phone.

Miyauchi Hiyage's answer also surprised him somewhat.

In other words, the other party awakened a teleportation-like power in a critical moment under the pressure of that Shadow Yuuko, and has now successfully escaped the school's boundaries. However, Hiiragi Inori and the two members of the Kanoe Family who have a blood relationship with Kanoe Yuko are still trapped inside the school.

When he heard the news, Kento Nanami was really stunned.

When he first saw Miyauchi Hiyage, he did notice that the other party's physique was quite special. If he really brought the other party into the Reverse Side World and he cultivated diligently for ten or twenty years, he would have the potential to become a level one.

In their subsequent meetings, he vaguely sensed that Miyauchi Hiyage's physique was still improving at a relatively stable rate, leading him to wonder if the other party was about to awaken some kind of physical-based technique or ability.

As it turned out, Miyauchi Hiyage told him that what the other person had awakened was the ability to teleport.

It's like initially thinking the other person is just an R-rank card, but later realizing that with some effort, they have the potential to become an SR-rank card.

Upon closer inspection after taking out the card, it turned out to be an SSR card radiating colorful light.

Few abilities related to space are weak, so Kento Nanami's thoughts changed after hearing about Miyauchi Hiyage's newly awakened ability.

Miyauchi Hiyage was someone he had been keeping an eye on even before his abilities awakened. If he were to be poached by other forces, it was hard to say what the higher-ups in the sorcery world would think, but the principal of the Jujutsu High would definitely be nagging him for a long time.

So, after only a brief moment of thought, less than ten seconds later, Kento Nanami asked Miyauchi Hiyage to guarantee his safety and then went to call for reinforcements.

Apart from Suguru Geto, who had long since fallen into the ranks of a top-tier curse master and was buried by Satoru Gojo himself, there are currently only three top-tier Sorcerers in the Japanese Jujutsu Society.

There's one in Kyoto, Tokyo Satoru Gojo in Tokyo, and the newly promoted Special Grade Mage Yuta Okkotsu, is currently training abroad.

So at this moment, Kento Nanami's first thought was to ask his senior, Satoru Gojo, for help.

After all, Satoru Gojo's limitless technique inherently possesses the ability to teleport, allowing him to appear anywhere in Japan within half an hour.

However, the other party doesn't usually like this way of traveling; when the situation isn't urgent, they will take the tram directly.

Given his relationship with Satoru Gojo, he could have simply called him for help.

However, to be more formal, he first dialed the number of Masamichi Yaga. As the principal of the Jujutsu High, the other party was also aware of Miyauchi Hiyage's situation.

The fact that the principal personally arranged the rescue further demonstrates the importance that the Jujutsu High attaches to Miyauchi Hiyage.

As expected, after hearing Kento Nanami's report, Masamichi Yaga naturally wouldn't let go of Miyauchi Hiyage, an SSR character.

Although the Jujutsu High currently boasts two top-tier combatants, Satoru Gojo and Yuta Okkotsu, as well as over ten jujutsu masters with first-tier strength, any promising new talent is worth investing in if one wants to bring more change to the Jujutsu Society.

As for the test of the Miyauchi Hiyage?

It's likely that Miyauchi Hiyage had already noticed the anomalies in this world before this, and under such circumstances, he still chose to explore those anomalies despite having billions in assets.

This alone reveals the madness within Miyauchi Hiyage.

Masamichi Yaga had already planned to have Nanami Kento bring the person to the Jujutsu High after Kento Nanami Miyauchi Hiyage officially intervened in a supernatural event, and try to help the person awaken.

Now, under the pressure of the Vengeful Spirit, Miyauchi Hiyage has completed his awakening ahead of schedule and has also gained the ability to create space. As a potential top-tier talent, Masamichi Yaga naturally did not hesitate.

Five minutes after Miyauchi Hiyage left Seiwa Academy, Satoru Gojo, who was enjoying limited-time snacks in the shopping district, received a request call from his principal.

"Hey, is that the haunted house video blogger who's been all the rage online lately?"

"What? So the principal and Nanami were already in contact with that blogger all along..."

"But this era is really amazing. The ability to teleport people right after awakening is no wonder you contacted me, Principal."

"... It's alright. It's not like every day there are top-tier guys around Tokyo who can give me a warm-up. I'm just going to check out that interesting Vengeful Spirit and warm up on the side."

After taking a bite of the sweet, Satoru Gojo, having learned the location of the Seiwa Academy, savored the deliciousness of the sweet while also calculating the distance between the two places.

"Since this person may become my student in the future, I have to go and see what kind of person this new student is."

Regarding the particular Vengeful Spirit mentioned by Masamichi Yaga, Satoru Gojo simply used "interesting" as an adjective, showing absolutely no sense of tension.

Indeed, it is rare for a Vengeful Spirit to split into two individuals, good and evil, and even rarer for one to grow to this extent.

As for the handling method.

It's simply a matter of exorcising or sealing away the evil Vengeful Spirit, while keeping the normal Vengeful Spirit.

This might be a bit more difficult for other people.

But for him, who is "the strongest," this is nothing more than a simple matter.

Feeling regretful that he couldn't savor the delicious treats slowly, Satoru Gojo finished off his sweets in a few bites, stretched his limbs slightly at the entrance of the confectionery shop, looked around for directions, and then disappeared into the streets of Tokyo without anyone noticing.

On Miyauchi Hiyage's side, after hearing Kento Nanami's tone on the other end of the phone, Miyauchi Hiyage had a pretty good idea of who would be coming next.

A super-level Vengeful Spirit might not be of much use to an ordinary level one sorcerer, especially since there are no other level one Sorcerers in Saitama Prefecture right now.

Kento Nanami was able to help bring in someone from the Shinto side, which already shows he has connections.

Given the current situation, with Miyauchi Hiyage actively revealing his potential, who else besides the strongest Satoru Gojo could have sufficient strength and be summoned so quickly?

Therefore, after hanging up the phone, Miyauchi Hiyage said to Fujimiya Miki, who was standing next to him, "They should be sending someone over to handle the situation here soon. We can just wait here patiently."

Seeing Miyauchi Hiyage's appearance, Fujimiya Miki, who was out of danger, was no longer nervous about her own safety.

Miyauchi Hiyage's expression suggests that he probably knows what kind of person the person who is about to arrive is, and that he is sure that the person can resolve the situation here.

Right now, she's just a little worried about the people who are still at school.

Kanoe Kirie, Kanoe Shizuuko, Hiiragi Inori, Itou Kaiji.

And then there's Kanoe Yuko's original form.

Can they hold out until reinforcements arrive in front of that particularly eerie-looking Shadow Yuuko?

In the basement of the Old Schoolhouse Seiwa Academy.

After Shadow Yuuko suddenly left, Hiiragi Inori quickly found a flaw in the basement barrier and led Kanoe Kirie and Itou Kaiji to break through the blockade and arrive at the real basement.

Dark, damp, and old.

In this basement, with the light from Hiiragi Inori's hand already dimmed considerably, only two places were noticeably visible.

One was a broken corpse leaning against the basement wall, long since reduced to bones.

Clearly, these are the remains that Kanoe Yuko left behind, which she did not want anyone to discover.

The other one was an even more dilapidated old shrine.

This is the last and only remaining shrine of the Kanoe Family.

After the shrine, which the Kanoe Family had guarded for generations, fell into disrepair, this became the last place the Kanoe Family used to worship the gods.

Who could have imagined that the person sacrificed in front of the shrine that the Kanoe Family had guarded for so many years would be a direct descendant of the Kanoe Family?

Chapter 185: Kanoe Kirie, who wants to atone for his sins

Kanoe Kirie and Itou Kaiji, two people who hadn't seen much of the world, were so shocked by the sight of the corpses that they could barely walk.

Kanoe Kirie was a little better off, because at least she could take advantage of being a girl and hide closely behind Hiiragi Inori.

Itou Kaiji didn't receive this treatment.

His pathetic appearance would only make Kanoe Kirie more nervous if he got even a little closer.

As a result, Itou Kaiji can only maintain a certain distance from the two girls now.

He asked the people in front of him, Hiiragi Inori, in a trembling voice what they needed to do next.
