Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

Chapter 264 Preparation and Intention

Two hours later.

meeting room.

Genpei Kiyoshi left.

He actually just wanted to convey one thing.

"Nozomi and his men will launch an incident in Shibuya tomorrow night, and it is likely that the action will be directed at Gojo Satoru."

At the conference table, several people still looked calm.

"...How credible are what he said?" Mingming asked first, breaking the silence.

Nanami pushed down her goggles, crossed her arms and said in a deep voice: "I think that no matter whether what Minamoto Hirakiyo said is true or not, we should not take any actual action because of it."

——This is gambling with the sorcerer’s life.

Kusakabe, who was sitting at the end of the table, nodded heavily, agreeing with Nanami's point of view.

The singer frowned slightly and whispered, "I can feel that... he is telling the truth. You should also be able to see that he is actually very tired..."

Auxiliary magicians usually have very accurate perception of people's hearts.

Moreover, Genpei Kiyoshi's dark circles were indeed very heavy, as if he had not slept for several days.

He must have tried his best to find the location of the college.

"His wish... no, 'begging', is also very simple—" The singer's face did not look good, she frowned slightly and closed her eyes.

"He just wanted his friend's body to rest in peace - instead of being used as a puppet by the rope."

The singer's voice was trembling slightly, and it echoed softly in the conference room.

Leyanji Jiashen said: "...I agree with Nanami's opinion - prepare in advance, and then wait and see what happens."

The singer opened her mouth slightly and looked up at everyone, but everyone avoided her gaze, except for Gojo Satoru who was wearing an eye patch.

The singer hesitated and lowered her head again.

Su Ze exhaled lightly and said, "We have been dealing with each other for a long time--"

"An ordinary person in the lair of Zuosuo...what he saw and discovered is probably something that Zuosuo doesn't care about."

"——Or rather, Nozomi let him find out on purpose."

Everyone already understood what Su Ze wanted to say.

"This is most likely a trap, and an open conspiracy."

"... Maybe it's because Nozomi is issuing a challenge."

Su Ze concluded.

Everyone nodded.

-

after one day.

October 10, 31pm.

Shibuya.

Tokyo Metro, Shibuya Station.

Exit 13.

"Did you find anything unusual?" the man with brown hair asked in a calm voice, his specially made goggles reflecting the light under the neon lights at night.

The sign next to it reads "Mark City" in cursive script, and there are many shops on the street.

"Yes..." The assistant supervisor, who was walking towards this side, wearing black-framed glasses, saluted first, "All teams are currently normal. The last unified contact was 4 minutes ago."

Ijichi looked serious and relayed the information fluently.

"Really..." The man with a 3:7 haircut, Nanami, nodded.

Behind him, there were two young men following.

One of them, who looked like an old senior, had a smug smile on his face, and he said to the boy next to him: "Fushiguro~Fushiguro~"

Fushiguro-san beside him turned and looked at him.

"Let me tell you, the 'tent' that's going to fall soon will block the signal. Although this is only a 'secondary effect' after the operation, it is often used as an important means--" He said slowly, wearing a black knitted hat on his head.

Fushiguro listened to him calmly, then blinked with a slightly strange look on his face, "Oh, I know that."

"Ino, he's very good. Chairman Suze and Mr. Gojo have both taught him... You don't have to act like a senior all the time." Nanami, who was communicating with Ijichi nearby, interrupted.

"Mr. Nanami! What do you mean by that--" Senior Ino felt extremely aggrieved.

Over there, Nanami was still confirming the news, "Then, besides Mr. Gojo and the Chairman...what about the other special-class ones?"

Ijichi held a file board between his legs and responded, "Otsutsuki-san is on standby near Shibuya. Chairman Suze has also made arrangements for the others, but I don't know the details."

……

18: 45.

The entrance to Restaurant Avenue.

"Although Zen Temple should be grateful for the committee's generosity, as the head of the family, I should also do my part to express my gratitude..." The old man with shoulder-length hair stroked his mustache and said thoughtfully, "But Chairman Su Ze, isn't it a bit unreasonable to let me take care of two girls?"

Zen Temple Zhibi's expression looked a little strange.

Behind him were the two sisters Maki and Mayi.

Zenin Maki was wiping the big sword "Akabi", the blazing red blade was quite conspicuous. After hearing what Zenin Naohito said, she uttered "Ha", then stopped what she was doing and pouted: "I don't want to follow you either! You are obviously a "jutsu flow", which is totally incompatible with me——"

Zenin Shinji beside her held her forehead and sighed, "Hey, Maki, please use your not-so-smart little brain..."

Zenin Maki was about to open her mouth to refute.

"Think about it, why did Teacher Su arrange you, me and the head of the family into the same group?" Chanyuan Zhenyi looked disappointed.

Zenin Maki stroked his chin, "...We both have the last name Zenin?"

Mayi snapped her fingers lightly, "At least you're not too stupid."

Zenin Maki looked unhappy.

Mayi ignored her and said, "The committee is very powerful now... but not powerful enough to have the final say. Tokyo and Kyoto are fine, but in remote areas, especially before the establishment of the committee, many folk magicians have never heard of the so-called "Directorate" in their lives-"

"…Who do you think is managing them?"

Zenin Maki thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "... "Gosanke"? "

Mayi nodded, "To be precise, it is the various sorcery families headed by the "Three Great Families" - although there is indeed a tendency for them to split up, they do solve the curse incidents in the region."

Zenin Maki raised an eyebrow: "…What does this have to do with our grouping?"

Zhenyi looked tired: "Teacher Su wants to weaken the influence of the aristocratic families, but he knows that he can't act too hastily. At the same time, he needs a "model" family as an example-"

"Our performance this time, as well as that of the Patriarch, will serve as a basis for Mr. Su to reuse the "Chanyuan" in the future—"

——In addition, there are also considerations for the next head of the family.

Contributing to the committee and maintaining stability in the world of sorcery are important credentials for becoming a "family head".

Zenin Naohito stroked his beard quietly and looked seriously at the little girl that Zenin was fanning.

Her cleverness was far beyond his expectations.

And this kind of sensitivity is absolutely indispensable for a candidate.

Zhenyi crossed her arms and bowed her head, saying, "Since Teacher Su wants us to take some "credit", and has arranged for a strong first-class magician like the head of the family to accompany us, then the next arrangement must be..."

"——Everyone, please stay where you are!"

The assistant supervisor in a suit saluted and spoke loudly.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment.

"Huh?!" Zhenyi looked unhappy, she was totally confused.

Assistant Supervisor Ms. Akira Nitta noticed their surprise and quickly waved her hand to explain: "This is the arrangement that was just issued."

"Chairman and Mr. Gojo, it seems that they are about to take action——"
