Should the Punishment Scene Be Uploaded to the Diary?

However, Shinomiya Kaguya observed the other person's figure according to the theory given by Umaru.

Although she looks a little better than she does now, she's not as good as Miko; she certainly doesn't have the figure a leading lady should have.

In comparison, Maki Zenin, who seems to be carrying many secrets, is more likely to obtain the Diary.

However, Shinomiya Kaguya had just entered the Jujutsu Society, forgot one thing.

In the Jujutsu Society, being able to maintain a normal human personality is already considered abnormal.

When confronted by Shinomiya Kaguya's question, Kasumi Miwa suddenly snapped out of her reverie about taking a photo with Satoru Gojo.

She waved her hand at Shinomiya Kaguya with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Ah, that won't be necessary. Since my mission has failed, I should return to Kyoto to report on the operation," Kasumi Miwa said.

However, she had a completely different thought in mind.

Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to remind Satoru Gojo privately, but because I was always with Shinomiya Kaguya and the others, the only time we were separated was when they went to the principal of the Jujutsu High for an interview. But I didn't expect that Satoru Gojo would go in with them.

She hadn't found an opportunity to be alone with him, so she was too embarrassed to ask Satoru Gojo for help.

She planned to find an opportunity to secretly remind Satoru Gojo after Shinomiya Kaguya left.

To Shinomiya Kaguya, this somewhat insincere expression was a sign of "worry" that the other person had failed their mission and might be punished by the school upon returning.

Thinking of this, Shinomiya Kaguya apologized to the other party. "It was my choice that caused Miwa-senpai's mission to fail. If it has any impact on you, please be sure to contact me."

"Although our Shinomiya Family is only just entering the Jujutsu Society, I will try my best to compensate you for your losses, Miwa-senpai."

Since she had already enrolled in the Jujutsu High, Kasumi Miwa was now nominally her senior, so Shinomiya Kaguya took the initiative to change how she addressed her in order to get closer to her.

These words made Kasumi Miwa a little embarrassed.

She quickly shook her head at Shinomiya Kaguya.

"It's okay, it's okay. At most, I'll just get a scolding from the principal. It shouldn't affect my subsidy."

"Besides the train tickets, I haven't even touched the money the school gave me for this trip. That's already enough for my family's expenses for half a month..."

If you owe someone a favor, you must repay it as soon as possible. This is a family motto of the Shinomiya Family and one of Shinomiya Kaguya's beliefs.

Kasumi Miwa's family was short of money, but money was the last thing she lacked.

With just a quick thought, Shinomiya Kaguya had already come up with several ways to help Kasumi Miwa's family.

Last time she wanted to help Gokō Ruri, but before she could make a move, Jerry, who was born with good fortune, beat her to it. Now, no one should be competing with Kasumi Miwa for her, right?

Shinomiya Kaguya politely said goodbye to the girl and made a promise to meet again at the school exchange meeting in the second semester of this year.

"I won't hold back then, so you'll have to work even harder," Kasumi Miwa encouraged the girl in front of her.

Having obtained that Diary, she can not only use Reading Points to improve her strength, but also use it to sever the influence of the Shinkage Style on her. She should be able to become even stronger at the school exchange meeting in September.

By then, she probably won't be the weakest "useless tricycle driver" in school anymore.

Shinomiya Kaguya thought so too.

Although she is still very weak, she has been able to change a lot of things in just over four months through her own efforts and Reading Points.

Let's show them our growth at the exchange meeting in September.

The two girls waved goodbye in a friendly manner, which was considered as making a promise.

Just as Shinomiya Kaguya turned and left, a few minutes later, both of their Diary trembled slightly, revealing a new request.

"Exclusive Request: Defeat Kasumi Miwa / Shinomiya Kaguya in a head-to-head battle during the school exchange event in September. Completing this request will earn you a special reward (the reward level is at least B-rank)."

Upon seeing the request before her, Shinomiya Kaguya, who had just gotten into the car, couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.

What's going on with this suddenly appearing exclusive commission?

She quickly spoke with Yotsuya Miko and found that the other party had not received a similar request; it seemed that only she had triggered this special request mechanism.

Moreover, she is required to personally defeat Kasumi Miwa at the school exchange event in September in order to receive this reward.

Is it because of the agreement she just made with the other party?

It seems that making an agreement with someone can trigger this kind of exclusive commission.

This is something we can remind the girls in the group about; see if they can find similar requests.

With that in mind, Shinomiya Kaguya accepted the request without much hesitation.

Although I feel a little embarrassed, I'll just take this senior who introduced me to the Jujutsu Society as my first goal to surpass.

At worst, we can compensate the other party more afterward.

Thinking this, Shinomiya Kaguya, who originally planned to think more about how to complete the requests at hand in the car, realized that her Diary was giving her a new reminder after only a few minutes.

[The unaccepted commissions in your commission list have been completed by others. The penalty for failed commissions will be automatically applied in one minute. Please prepare accordingly.]

"Ah?"

Chapter 154: Should the punishment footage be uploaded to the Diary?

Let's go back a little bit.

Seeing the sudden appearance of a request in her Diary, Kasumi Miwa was initially worried that she might have accidentally stolen someone else's request again.

However, after carefully reading the instructions in the Diary and confirming that this request was a unique request that was refreshed due to her agreement with Shinomiya Kaguya and should not be related to anyone else, Kasumi Miwa finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because she had only received the Diary two days ago, and hadn't had much time to explore its Diary.

So when faced with this sudden request, she was not particularly surprised, but rather thought it was a function that the Diary was meant to have.

"So, besides taking other people's commissions, I can still receive commissions normally?" Kasumi Miwa thought to herself, feeling a little happy, because this way she wouldn't have to bear the guilt of taking other people's commissions.

At this point, she had not yet come up with the idea of connecting Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko with the Diary's owner; to be precise, she had not yet begun to consider searching for the other Diary owners.

On the first day after receiving the Diary, he saw the explanation that Satoru Gojo had been cut in half. Before he could accept reality, he was sent to Tokyo to carry out a mission. On the second day, he was deeply shocked by the secret of the Shinkage Style mentioned in the Diary.

After her mission failed, she is now preoccupied with Satoru Gojo's safety and the bond between herself and Shinkage Style.

Even this sudden request only distracted her for a short while.

After all, this commission was scheduled for September, and she would have to wait until she returned to Kyoto before she could arrange her future training plans.

It's more important to remind Mr. Satoru Gojo now.

With that thought in mind, Kasumi Miwa put away her Diary and ran quickly to find Satoru Gojo, who was still slacking off at school.

Because Sukuna was very famous in the Jujutsu Society, and because the twenty fingers he left behind after his death have not been destroyed even after a thousand years, they can only be sealed away.

So when Kasumi Miwa cautiously expressed her concern to Satoru Gojo about the possible resurrection of Sukuna, Satoru Gojo wasn't surprised.

"Ryomen Sukuna, he is indeed a very remarkable fellow."

"But is that what you think too?" he said, while gently rubbing his head, seemingly not taking it to heart.

Kasumi Miwa was somewhat surprised. Had someone already warned Satoru Gojo before her? "Are there other people who think the same way?"

"It seems you really came up with this yourself. To think of something like this in a conservative place Kyoto Jujutsu High, you're quite something. Would you be interested in transferring to Tokyo?" Satoru Gojo jokingly extended an invitation to Kasumi Miwa.

Kasumi Miwa quickly blushed and waved her hand in refusal.

Although she admired Satoru Gojo, she was grateful to Kyoto Jujutsu High for her kindness, so she couldn't just transfer schools and leave like that.

"That's a real shame," Satoru Gojo shook his head with some regret, then explained to Kasumi Miwa in a relaxed manner.

"Over the past thousand years, there have been quite a few people who have worried that Sukuna will be resurrected. After all, no one can destroy his fingers, and even an ordinary cursed spirit could gain strength comparable to a special-level cursed spirit by swallowing his fingers."

"Some people have even discovered that the cursed spirits that swallowed Sukuna's fingers are more likely to resemble Sukuna in appearance and even personality, and are more eager to devour Sukuna's other fingers."

"If there really is a curse that can devour twenty Sukuna fingers, then that curse could probably be called a completely new Sukuna."

As Satoru Gojo said this, he seemed to be expressing disdain for some of the decisions made by the higher-ups in the sorcery world.

"Due to the decline of the mystical arts in the last century, the Jujutsu Society relaxed its monitoring of the Sukuna Finger. However, the Mystery Revival is accelerating, but the higher-ups haven't taken any new measures. If this continues, who knows what problems might arise..."

However, he also knew that Kyoto Jujutsu High, where Kasumi Miwa studied, was a conservative stronghold, so he didn't continue. Listening to Satoru Gojo's words, corresponding images naturally appeared in Kasumi Miwa's mind.

A powerful curse, due to the inaction of the higher-ups in the curse, secretly devoured twenty of Sukuna's fingers, becoming a new Sukuna and killing Satoru Gojo.

Seeing Kasumi Miwa's nervous expression, Satoru Gojo smiled, telling her not to worry so much.

"But it's okay. Although Ryomen Sukuna is indeed quite difficult to deal with, it's still fine with me here."

Although Satoru Gojo's answer was indeed reassuring, Kasumi Miwa couldn't calm down as she recalled what she had written in her Diary.

She originally wanted to remind Satoru Gojo to report this matter to the higher-ups in the jutsu, but then she remembered that in the diary, there was a mention of a schemer who took advantage of the decline of mystery to secretly turn the higher-ups in the jutsu into puppets.

Perhaps, the schemer's goal was to revive Sukuna?

However, she found it even more difficult to utter such "rebellious" words.

Seeing that Kasumi Miwa still seemed conflicted, Satoru Gojo said something to reassure the girl.

"Actually, both Jujutsu High each keep a few Sukuna fingers, and I am in charge of a few of them. Even if you don't trust others, I should still be trustworthy."

Kasumi Miwa nodded naturally, indicating that she would definitely believe in Satoru Gojo's strength.

"Mr. Satoru Gojo, please make sure you keep those Sukuna fingers safe. Don't let Sukuna have a chance to come back to life!"

She believes that it was the original Satoru Gojo's negligence in guarding against Sukuna's fingers that led to someone collecting all twenty of Sukuna's fingers and reviving Sukuna.

But as long as I remind Satoru Gojo, and when I return to my school, I can bring up this matter with my principal and make sure that the Sukuna fingers managed by Kyoto Jujutsu High are on high alert, then the Ryomen Sukuna should not be so easy to revive!

Kasumi Miwa pondered this, she resolved that she must accelerate her training once she returned, and acquire greater strength before that so-called schemer revealed himself.

Even if something unexpected happens, she can step forward to offer some help to Satoru Gojo.

After warning Satoru Gojo to be careful, Kasumi Miwa, who was originally planning to leave, suddenly remembered the request she had intercepted the day before.

She felt she lacked the ability to resolve the case.

But she couldn't bring herself to let that shrine continue to harm other people's lives.

Unaware of the existence of penalties for failing a commission, Kasumi Miwa thought she could inform Satoru Gojo about this and have Satoru Gojo destroy the shrine.

What she didn't expect was that as soon as she mentioned the situation and location of the shrine to Satoru Gojo already knew what she was talking about.

"I know about that shrine, but it's actually a historical issue from the Shinto," Satoru Gojo shrugged and revealed the details of the shrine.

Then Satoru Gojo briefly mentioned to Kasumi Miwa the things suppressed beneath the Mitsukoya Shrine.

"The monster that Inari God once suppressed?" Kasumi Miwa's eyes widened in surprise. "Is it a real god?"

Inari God is indeed known as the "God of Three Foxes," and as the god of harvest who is in charge of food, Inari God are the most numerous shrines in Japan.

Kasumi Miwa doesn't disbelieve in the existence of gods, after all, Shinto originated from the existence of these gods. However, there are also all sorts of monsters and curses that use the name of gods to harm the human world.

Of all the cases that Kasumi Miwa has handled, she has seen many people who worship those cursed spirits as gods.

Those enshrined spirits have gained even greater power by absorbing the faith and fear of others over a long period of time.

She originally thought that the "deity" enshrined in the Mitsukoya Shrine was a similar case.

But judging from Satoru Gojo's words, that shrine seems to really be Inari God.

"If it were two hundred years ago, that would indeed be a legitimate Inari God," Satoru Gojo shook his head.

"But before the mystery began to decline, the human world had already completely severed its connection with the gods."

"After that, many shrines that originally had divine power were abandoned after losing their divine power. Shinto also went through a long period of chaos until the priests there found a way to make a contract with the Ley Line, and it gradually became what it is today."

"That shrine was originally a great shrine guarded by divine messengers because it sealed away an ancient monster, but it gradually fell into disrepair during the period of mystical decline due to the loss of divine power to replenish it."

In order to maintain the seal beneath the shrine, the divine messengers adopted a method of absorbing a soul offered as a sacrifice every few years to strengthen the seal.

During the mysterious decline period, the ability to sacrifice a soul every few years to ensure the seal of an ancient monster was indeed difficult for people to detect.

It wasn't until decades ago, when a reasonably skilled Exorcists died there, that Shinto rediscovered the shrine's history.

"Actually, in order to avoid the sacrifice of ordinary people, Shinto will voluntarily select some elderly priests and shrine maidens to go there for self-sacrifice every few years," Satoru Gojo, looking at Kasumi Miwa.

"But since you've noticed something's wrong with that shrine, it must be because of the Mystery Revival that the great demon sealed beneath it has started to stir, forcing the shrine to continue seeking new offerings from the outside world, right?"

He muttered to himself, then nodded to Kasumi Miwa: "I'll have the principal negotiate with the Shinto about this. It was wise of you not to get involved, since the shrine's messenger should at least have a level one strength."
