“No!
You mustn’t!
Please get up!”
Seeing Kie kneel, Minoru felt overwhelmed and quickly stepped forward to help her up.
With all the bowing and prostrating, he really couldn’t handle such a grand gesture.
“It was nothing, madam, you’re too kind.” Minoru waved his hand, looking at the circle of people around him.
The grateful Kamado family, Megumi with eyes full of adoration, and Yuji, looking happy in the distance.
He cleared his throat, deciding to say something to lighten the mood.
“Ahem.”
Minoru showed a smile, and said in a half-joking tone, “Actually, there’s no need to say too many thanks.
If you all really feel bad and insist on thanking me…”
He paused, and under everyone’s puzzled gaze, rubbed his fingers together, showing a ‘you know what I mean’ expression.
“Just give me money.”
He still didn’t know how to pay off his credit card.
“…”
The entire place instantly fell into a dead silence.
Kie still had tears of gratitude on her face, but her expression froze.
Megumi, who was full of remorse, was stunned.
Yuji stood with his mouth open, his brain malfunctioning, clearly unable to follow this jump in logic.
Shibata…
what did he just say?
Pay…
pay up?
“Pfft!
Hahaha!”
A burst of unrestrained laughter broke the strange silence.
Satoru pointed at Minoru while laughing, tears almost streaming out.
“Hahaha!”
“Megumi, did you hear that?
This is how adults communicate.
Learn from this.
Stop shouting about fighting and killing all the time.”
Though Yuji and Megumi didn’t laugh out loud, the corners of their lips couldn’t help but twitch.
The noble image that had just been established in their hearts instantly collapsed by more than half.
It was then reconstructed in a more down-to-earth and ridiculous manner.
Now, Megumi even started to wonder if all powerful people had personalities like this.
Satoru was like this, and Minoru turned out to be the same.
Kie was also momentarily stunned, then chuckled, nodding repeatedl.
“Yes.
Once we settle down, we will definitely repay you handsomely.”
Seeing that everyone was finally less constrained, Minoru nodded in satisfaction.
Done!
The power of money is still the best way to bridge the gap between people!
Now, he just wanted to find a soft bed, lie down comfortably, and properly examine the system rewards he had received this time.
“Alright, stop standing around, get in the car.” Minoru called out to the group.
“Gojo-san, we’ll take off first.
This place is yours.”
“Go on.” Satoru waved his hand, his smile undiminished.
“Don’t forget tomorrow’s breakfast, Megumi.”
Megumi’s face darkened again.
Minoru said no more and led the group toward the taxi that had been waiting for a long time in the distance.
Under the driver’s slightly frightened gaze, Minoru got into the taxi.
He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and focused on the system panel.
[Luck Points: 7600]
Looking at this figure, which could be called a massive sum, Minoru immediately began allocating points.
The strategy was the same as before: Agility was still the focus.
‘System, allocate 6000 Luck Points to Agility.’
[Agility: 18.09 → 19.26]
‘Allocate another 1000 points to Spirit.’
[Spirit: 7.8 → 7.86]
As soon as he finished, a warm current surged from deep within his body, and the fatigue accumulated from the previous battle was swept away.
Minoru felt incredibly refreshed right now.
The ability to relieve fatigue through point allocation was certainly good news. The source of this chapter is g.com.
It seemed he should keep a few thousand Luck Points reserved for emergencies going forward.
While Minoru was allocating points, the taxi still hadn’t started.
Yuji, who was accompanying him, looked at the driver’s pale face and suddenly realized the problem.
Minoru, covered in blood like this, was indeed a bit frightening.
He quickly explained, “Um…
Driver-san, this is my older brother.
He just accidentally fell down the mountain and got injured.
That’s why he’s covered in blood, really.”
After hearing Yuji’s explanation, the driver’s expression didn’t relax.
Instead, he looked even more terrified.
These guys clearly just finished a fight with someone.
Looking at Minoru’s aura, he must be a big boss from some Yakuza group.
“I can testify that he is telling the truth.” Minoru looked at the driver and spoke calmly.
Although this sentence sounded unconvincing, when the driver met Minoru’s eyes, he nodded almost involuntarily.
“Uh…
o-okay…”
The driver stepped on the gas, and the car finally started moving.
Minoru noticed that this was indeed a genuine taxi.
The driver was just a regular middle-aged man, not Ijichi Kiyotaka, the dedicated utility man for Tokyo Jujutsu High, as he had initially suspected.
Minoru knew well that it was best not to expose his power to the Jujutsu World for the time being.
Those old fogeys would absolutely not tolerate the existence of a powerful, unfamiliar Jujutsu Sorcerer.
Even a harmless kid like Yuji was immediately sentenced to death.
Since he had displayed such combat strength, it went without saying that Satoru might even come after him.
However, it wouldn’t matter.
There were ways to play even when exposed.
If he were really pushed, Minoru, who was familiar with the plot, wouldn’t mind giving the Jujutsu High Command a major reshuffle.
On the way back to Tokyo, Minoru, now in peak condition, pulled out his phone and started scrolling through Twitter.
(Note: This is before Twitter was changed to X.)
Yuji, sitting beside him, saw Minoru take out his phone and immediately sat up straight, eyes fixed straight ahead, daring not to glance at his phone.
As for Megumi, he was currently in another taxi, responsible for protecting the Kamado family in case any special circumstances arose on the road.
