Chapter 107 – Chapter 95 – Negotiation
It was clear that the teacher was not telling the truth, at least the reality had significant discrepancies.
Otherwise, Yoshino Junpei wouldn’t reveal such an incredulous and furious expression.
But this person was, at most, an ordinary person, so he shouldn’t have much to do with any Special Grade Cursed Spirits. It wasn’t worth wasting time on him.
Thus, Yukinoshita Yukino didn’t even think about talking with him, and instead decisively asked Itadori Yuuji to lead Yoshino Junpei away.
“Okay, I understand.” Itadori Yuuji nodded his head, gave Yoshino Junpei a signal, and then pulled him away.
Originally resistant to being led away, Yoshino Junpei, upon seeing that annoying guidance counselor, followed Itadori Yuuji without hesitation.
Rather than listen to him spout nonsense and elevate his blood pressure, it was easier to follow them and handle their inquiries.
“Children can’t have important matters…” Seeing the three turn around, the guidance counselor immediately panicked and hurriedly chased after them with his short legs: “Wait! Wait up!”
“Itadori-san,麻烦你解决一下.”
“Sure thing!” Itadori Yuuji turned around, blocking the man’s path.
The middle-aged man who was stopped seemed angry; on such a hot day, he had come well-intentioned to persuade an absent student back to school, but now he faces some unknown person blocking his way.
“You two planning to take this school’s student where? Are You saying we corrupted Jyunpei who doesn’t come to school? Who are you? Hey!”
Just as the guidance counselor was about to lecture the mischievous student in front of him, his lower body suddenly went cold. In the hot weather, he felt an unexpected cool airflow. Itadori Yuuji forcefully tore off his pants, revealing a colorful briefs underneath.
“Don’t, don’t tear it!” The middle-aged man bent over, reaching out to grab for his pants while trying to wrestle them from him, “Hey! Let go!”
A weak man lacking exercise, could compare with Itadori Yuuji?
He ripped off the middle-aged man’s pants, dragging him down in the process, and then ran the opposite direction that Yukinoshita Yukino and Yoshino Junpei had gone.
Looking at the floral boxers under him, then glancing at the figures of Yukinoshita Yukino and Yoshino Junpei who were already far away, the middle-aged man finally decided to chase Itadori Yuuji.
How could a naughty student be more important than his dignity?
“Hey! Stop! Give me back my pants!” He shouted loudly, struggling through the shame while feeling the refreshing coolness from his exposed area.
Meanwhile, running a distance away, Itadori Yuuji threw the middle-aged man’s business suit pants onto a white wall beside him and ran around the block before returning to Yukinoshita Yukino and Yoshino Junpei.
“It’s all set!” The pink-haired boy raised his thumb proudly towards Yukinoshita Yukino and grinned.
“Well done,” Yukinoshita Yukino smiled, clearly having seen how Itadori Yuuji stripped the guidance counselor.
“A piece of cake!” laughed Itadori Yuuji again.
“Hmm…”
Yoshino Junpei just wanted to speak but was cut off by Yukinoshita Yukino: “Find a place to sit down.”
She pointed toward a family restaurant.
“Huh? But isn’t it awkward to discuss… that stuff in public?” Itadori Yuuji scratched his head confusedly.
“Don’t worry, most people won’t understand what we’re talking about and will just regard us as delusional kids,” explained Yukinoshita Yukino. “Should anyone happen to understand, then we’ll have truly hit the jackpot.”
“Sounds convincing. Let’s go!”
… But, what did I say?
Yoshino Junpei felt embarrassed, but given the chance to deal with his hated teacher due to Itadori Yuuji, he obediently followed the two into the family restaurant.
They found a secluded spot, ordered drinks, and then Yukinoshita Yukino started slowly speaking: “Yoshino-kun, you really don’t like that person?”
“Yes,” Yoshino Junpei nodded.
“May I ask why?”
“That…”
His gaze fell on Itadori Yuuji’s crest embroidery buttons on the collar of their Juju High School uniform.
“Oh right, if you ever meet someone with spiral-shaped buttons on their clothes, try getting along with them; they’re Jujutsu Sorcerers, they should get along with you.”
Thoughts of Mr. Mahito’s words appeared in mind.
Though initially not giving much good first impression, since both came for movie incident, serious attitude was understandable, and even helped him shake off that troublesome guidance counselor.
These people were definitely good guys.
After a moment’s pause, Yoshino Junpei nodded: “Alright.”
Then he slowly lifted his bangs to reveal a ugly scar on the right side of his forehead.
“What is—?”
Itadori Yuuji’s pupils contracted sharply, and Yukinoshita Yukino’s expression gradually turned grave.
Placing the bangs back and covering the burn wound from a cigarette, Yoshino Junpei’s gaze grew darker: “They are those guys from school…”
Those bastards beat him up, occupied his club room forcefully, burned him with cigarettes, made him eat cockroaches…
Barely suppressing his emotions, he recounted to the duo in great detail the bullying incidents he had experienced.
“These beasts!” Itadori Yuuji’s anger spilled out visibly. He genuinely felt angry for Yoshino Junpei.
Yukinoshita Yukino still maintained her composure: “So, among the three students from Sakuragawa High School who died that day at the cinema, there was also one involved in bullying you?”
“Indeed.” Yoshino Junpei nodded.
“So, your motive for committing the crime is clearer now,” said Yukinoshita Yukino.
“Yukinoshita-senpai!” Itadori Yuuji looked at her incredulously, not having expected such comments from her.
“I’m only stating the facts,” said the black-haired girl unflinchingly.
“But it’s still too…”
Before Itadori Yuuji could continue, Yoshino Junpei interrupted, “It’s fine, I understand Yukinoshita-senpai’s reasoning.”
“But…”
“Let’s make a deal, Yoshino-kun.” Disregarding the flustered pink-haired youth, Yukinoshita Yukino seriously stated her terms.
“A deal?”
“Do you want revenge against the bullies? I can help you,” stated Yukinoshita Yukino, “I’ll put all of them in jail. In return, you’ll honestly describe what you saw in the cinema that day.”
“What do you think of this deal?”
…
School ended,
then become a Jujutsu Sorcerer
