This day was later known as the “Dark Day of the Zenin Clan.”
The two brothers who had been treated as trash and useless since childhood proved one thing with their strength.
In this world, even without cursed energy, you could still crush so-called “genius jujutsu sorcerers” under your feet.
The bloodstains in the Zenin clan courtyard had not yet dried.
Crying and screams drifted through the night wind.
Standing in the middle of the ruined courtyard, Zenin Naobito looked at those clan members who had once been arrogant but were now trembling in fear, and suddenly spoke.
“Starting today, establish the Kukuru Unit.”
Everyone froze.
He continued, “Clan members without cursed techniques can join.”
“Train hard in martial arts.
Learn hand-to-hand combat.
Use your bodies as weapons.”
“Even without cursed energy, you can still contribute to the clan.”
His sharp gaze swept across the crowd.
“Never treat anyone as trash or useless again.”
Among the crowd, some lowered their heads, some fell into thought, and some were still unconvinced.
But Zenin Naobito knew that the rot of a great clan had already taken root deep within.
All he could do was cut a small opening into this decaying body.
As for whether new flesh could grow from it…
That depended on fate.
Time passed in a flash.
Mei Mei graduated from her third year of middle school.
The familiar cafe.
The familiar corner.
Mei Mei sat across from Yukio, holding a coffee cup with both hands.
There was a trace of reluctance in her eyes, along with even more anticipation.
“I should be going to Tokyo Jujutsu High this year.”
She paused, then showed a sincere smile.
“Thank you, Yukio.”
“You’ve really helped me a lot during this time.”
Yukio waved his hand, looking unconcerned.
“No need to thank me.”
“Even without my help, with your intelligence, finishing your family’s missions was only a matter of time.”
Mei Mei tilted her head and looked at him.
Her expression suddenly became serious.
“What about you?
Will you come to Jujutsu High?”
Yukio rubbed his chin and seriously calculated the timing.
“Maybe…
I probably will.”
“If nothing unexpected happens.”
‘Unexpected?’
‘What unexpected thing could happen?’
Mei Mei suddenly smiled.
The smile was both sweet and alluring, like a ripe peach in midsummer that made people want to take a bite.
“Then I’ll wait for you at Tokyo Jujutsu High.”
Yukio, “…”
Without changing expression, he picked up his coffee and took a sip.
Inside, however, he was frantically complaining.
‘Hmph!’
‘Trying to seduce me?’
‘No chance!’
‘There’s no way I’ll fall into a gentle trap that easily!’
After seeing Mei Mei off, Yukio walked home alone and suddenly remembered something.
He didn’t know whether it was because of his influence, but after seizing a two-handed battle axe during a mission, she had become completely attached to it and practiced with it every day.
The ranks of aesthetic violence had grown stronger once again.
[Back Home]
He pushed open the door and…
Yukio froze.
He saw something he had never witnessed in over ten years of his life.
Toji was showing an expression so rare that it was almost unbelievable.
Slumped on the sofa, holding his phone, staring at the screen…
He was grinning like an idiot.
The kind where the corners of his mouth kept rising, his eyes looked unfocused, and it was obvious he had fallen into some strange state.
Yukio rubbed his eyes.
After confirming he wasn’t seeing things, he walked over and carefully asked, “Bro…
are you in an online relationship?”
Toji snapped back to reality.
Instinctively, he wanted to put away his phone, but that seemed too deliberate, so he could only keep a straight face and wave him away.
“Go away, go away!
What does a little brat like you know about online relationships?”
“I just…
I just think she’s pretty interesting.
Talking with her feels comfortable.”
Yukio’s eyes lit up.
“Who is it?
A guy or a girl?”
Toji nearly jumped off the sofa.
“Of course it’s a girl!”
“My sexual orientation is completely normal!”
Yukio let out an “Oh” and nodded meaningfully.
He really had worried about that before.
After all, people with Heavenly Restriction were indeed better than most at controlling their desires.
On top of that, Toji had never shown any interest in women all these years.
Yukio had almost started wondering whether his brother had some unspeakable problem.
Now it seemed…
His brother was completely normal.
Very healthy.
Very…
lovestruck?
Yukio dropped onto the sofa beside Toji and switched into gossip mode.
“Have you met in person yet?”
Toji shook his head, “No.”
“I haven’t even told her my real situation.”
A rare trace of confusion appeared on his face.
“Tell me…
people like us, who kill as casually as slaughtering chickens, can someone really like us?”
Yukio thought for a moment.
“If you think she’s good, and you’ve never met anyway, you’re just talking through phones, then tell her the truth.”
“There are so many women in the world.
It’s not like she’s the only one.”
Toji was silent for a few seconds.
Then he looked up and stared at Yukio seriously.
“No.”
“She’s different.”
Yukio, “…”
After a long pause, he forced out three words.
“Impressive.”
“Seriously impressive.”
If he could say something like that, then his brother had truly fallen hard.
Yukio sighed, “Then at least…
tell her you’ve killed people.”
“If you really end up together, something like that can’t be hidden forever.”
Toji nodded, “We’ll see.”
“No, seriously, bro, why do you have to bring me when you’re meeting your online friend in person?!”
“Am I supposed to be your third wheel?!”, On the way there, Yukio complained weakly.
Toji wore a rare nervous expression.
Even his walking looked a little stiff.
“I just…
don’t want things to get awkward when we meet.”
“And she wants to meet you too.”
Yukio pointed at himself, “Meet me?”
He instantly understood.
Toji had definitely talked about his little brother quite a lot during their chats. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Soon, the two arrived at the restaurant they had agreed on.
At the entrance stood a girl wearing a white dress and a sun hat.
She was looking around nervously and uncertainly.
Yukio whispered, “That’s the big sister, right?”
Toji nodded nervously.
Yukio was speechless.
“Bro, you weren’t even this nervous when killing Grade 1 sorcerers, were you?”
Toji glared at him.
“Nonsense!
How is that the same thing?!”
He took a deep breath and walked over first.
Before he could speak, the girl had already seen him.
Sasajima Yumi smiled, her eyes curving into crescents.
“You’re…
Fushiguro Toji, right?”
“You’re even more handsome than in the photos!”
Toji’s cold, stern face actually turned slightly red.
He pulled Yukio out from behind him.
“This is my younger brother, Fushiguro Yukio.”
“Her name is Sasajima Yumi.”
Yukio was a little restrained too and obediently nodded.
“Hello, Sister Yumi.”
Inside the private room, Toji and Sasajima Yumi chatted enthusiastically.
Yukio occasionally joined in, but his main task was observation.
‘What if his brother got scammed?’
He spoke, his tone carrying a hint of probing, “Sister Yumi, you know some things about my brother too, right?”
Sasajima Yumi didn’t get angry.
Instead, she smiled gently, “I know what you want to ask.”
She glanced at Toji, trust visible in her eyes.
“I’ve talked with Toji for a long time.”
“I know he’s not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately.”
“The people he killed were all bad people.”
“There’s nothing wrong with killing bad people.”
“You could even say it’s contributing to society.”
Yukio scratched his head.
“Sorry.
I’ve been targeted for assassination before, so I’m a bit sensitive about this stuff.”
“Can I ask you a few more questions?”
Sasajima Yumi nodded generously, “Of course.”
Toji had already told him about her situation.
Her parents had died early, and she had struggled on her own all the way until now.
She had experienced darkness, yet still wanted to bring light to the world.
Yukio admired that.
After asking several more questions, Sasajima Yumi answered all of them calmly.
Only then did Yukio finally relax.
If he hadn’t never seen Toji interested in women before, he wouldn’t have been this cautious.
Now it seemed…
‘This sister-in-law is good.’
The meetup was a success.
Toji and Sasajima Yumi officially became boyfriend and girlfriend.
After that, Toji went out every few days.
Dates, meals, shopping, movies…
He looked exactly like a young man deeply in love.
Yukio watched it all and felt happy for him.
One night, he suddenly leaned close to Toji and quietly said, “Bro, it’s about time you gave her an answer, isn’t it?”
“You’re not getting any younger.”
Toji froze for a moment, then understood.
He nodded, “I know.”
“I’ll find someone to pick a date.”
“If everything looks good…”
He paused, unable to stop the corners of his mouth from rising.
“We’ll get married.”
“Start a family.”
