The domain was called Self-Embodiment of Perfection, and Kento Nanami was on the verge of shutting down inside it. He had not despaired, however. Instead, he channeled all those negative emotions into his hatred of overtime.
No more overtime!
If overtime is unavoidable, pay me double!
Kento Nanami decided that once he returned, he would ask Miss Mei Mei for some proper advice. If he could not eliminate overtime, he ought to request some compensation, at least.
Seeing the gloomy expression on Kento Nanami's face, Yu Haibara hurriedly smiled and reassured him that he had already called Jujutsu High to request support on his way there.
Kento Nanami nodded. Even without Yu Haibara's reassurance, he had no intention of simply accepting death.
His face battered and swollen, Mahito looked down at the two of them. Having expected to see despair on their human faces, he pursed his lips in disappointment.
"How boring~"
He raised a hand and pressed it against his bruised, swollen cheek. In an instant, his face returned to normal, and a bright, cheerful young man's smile appeared on it once again.
"Then I'll just have to finish you off quickly. I'm going to find some more interesting humans!"
Mahito tilted his head up slightly and leisurely spread his arms. The cursed energy inside the domain began gathering, and the Simple Domains beneath Kento Nanami and Yu Haibara's feet began crumbling at an exponentially increasing rate.
With nothing more than a glance, Kento Nanami and Yu Haibara understood each other's intentions. One of them would focus on maintaining a Simple Domain, while the other devoted himself entirely to attacking Mahito.
After all, both of them maintaining Simple Domains would only mean a slow death. They might as well secure a brief window of safety and take their chances.
