Chapter 108: All Preparations Are Complete.
December 13th.
Kyoto School Principal, Yoshinobu Gakuganji, came to Tokyo High to discuss the matter of Suguru Geto.
Clang—
Yoshinobu Gakuganji, leaning on his cane, pushed open the door and looked at Masamichi Yaga and Gojo Satoru sitting on the sofa before walking in. Utahime Iori, who followed him, closed the door.
Just as Yoshinobu Gakuganji sat down on the sofa, he saw Tatsuro in the iron cage and asked, "What did this kid do to get locked up?"
"It's nothing. Let's discuss official business."
"No, he is the official business now. He destroyed two sections of my forest and got away with it, but now he's locked up?" Yoshinobu Gakuganji tapped his cane and said, "Kid, do you want me to seek justice for you?"
Tatsuro sat cross-legged, faint black markings appearing at the corners of his eyes. He was currently entering 'Sage Mode'; he couldn't hear anything, yet he could sense everything, but chose not to care, as if he himself were nature.
"Stop shouting. Tatsuro can't hear anything right now. Even if you hit him on the head with a stick, he wouldn't feel it. He's in the process of merging with nature," Gojo Satoru said with a smile.
"What the hell?" Yoshinobu Gakuganji glanced at him, then paid him no more mind. He looked at Masamichi Yaga and began to discuss serious matters, "I feel something is amiss regarding Suguru Geto. What if he doesn't attack these two locations?"
"What else can we do? We can only go support them. The initiative is not in our hands right now. Rather than scattering jujutsu sorcerers to supervise various parts of Japan, it's better to concentrate all of them in these two places."
Yoshinobu Gakuganji continued to ask, "What was the response from the Three Great Families and the Jujutsu Alliance?"
"The Gojo family agreed. The others haven't responded yet; it seems they're still considering. But if they don't respond in two more days, treating them as fools, I can only have Gojo Satoru personally pay them a visit. After all, this matter cannot be delayed," Masamichi Yaga said, glancing at Gojo Satoru beside him.
"Hey, hey! I'm Gojo Satoru, who grants every request!" Gojo Satoru said playfully.
"Is that so? I understand." Yoshinobu Gakuganji glanced at Gojo Satoru and said, "I will summon the fourth-year students who are away and past graduates to guard Kyoto. I hope your premonition is correct, Yaga."
After speaking, Yoshinobu Gakuganji felt as if someone was missing from the room. He quickly looked towards the iron cage where Tatsuro was. The black lines at the corners of Tatsuro's eyes were becoming more pronounced, and there was a round marking on his forehead. Although Gakuganji didn't know what it was, if he didn't look with his eyes, it would be very difficult to perceive his presence.
He asked, "Is this kid trying to become an immortal?"
"..."
Gojo Satoru and Masamichi Yaga couldn't answer this question.
...
December 15th.
Forced by Gojo Satoru's personal "door-knocking greetings," the Kamo family, Zenin family, and the Ainu Jujutsu Alliance agreed to provide support.
December 19th.
Evacuation of residents began.
Kiyotaka Ijichi: "Everyone, please evacuate in an orderly manner. A drill will be conducted here in five days. Temporary new residences have already been arranged for everyone. Please evacuate in an orderly fashion."
December 22nd.
All ordinary civilians had completed evacuation.
Kiyotaka Ijichi was checking if anyone had yet to leave when his phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw it was Gojo Satoru calling. He answered, "Mr. Gojo, is something wrong?"
"Mm, I asked you to investigate Okkotsu Yuta's background earlier. How is that investigation coming along?"
"Crap, I forgot!" Kiyotaka Ijichi screamed internally but still responded, "Still looking into it, but it's been delayed recently."
"Mm, sorry to trouble you. Please hurry."
"Okay."
...
December 24th.
The day of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
Tokyo High, poised for action, mobilized in full force. Several dozen people headed towards Tokyo's Shinjuku in a mighty contingent, leaving only a few to guard the school.
Tatsuro was also released. He stretched his back as he walked down the school corridor. Although he was very interested in the battle on the front lines, he was powerless at this moment.
Gazing at the sky, which was gradually darkening, he said, "What a pity. I was originally planning to dominate the whole show."
"Stop feeling sorry for yourself after being locked up for over ten days. Your Shura was taken by senior Hakari for breeding," said Maki, dressed in white casual wear, her hair tied in a high ponytail, as she walked over.
"Huh? When did that happen?" Tatsuro was completely bewildered.
"Have you been practicing 'Sage Mode' until you're possessed? It was just seven days ago," Zenin Maki said, kicking open a classroom door.
Okkotsu Yuta was sitting inside.
Startled, Okkotsu Yuta looked towards the door and saw it was Tatsuro and Zenin Maki. He said, "Weren't classes suspended this week? Why are you guys here?"
"I was just released today." Tatsuro hadn't exited 'Sage Mode' yet. After being locked up for over ten days, he felt it was quite fun to maintain this state.
Although he was locked up, he could still go in and out as he pleased, for things like using the toilet, eating, and of course, showering. It was just that it was all done under the principal's supervision...
"I was just bored and came over to take a look. Toge and Panda went out with the upperclassmen. Senior Hakari and Kirara Hoshi went on an expedition to Kyoto," Zenin Maki said, sitting on a desk, looking thoroughly bored.
"Is that so? Then I'll go to the forest to check on Shura." Tatsuro stood up to leave. After all, his son had been taken for breeding, and he, as the father, didn't even know. How derelict of duty was that?
"Mm, goodbye," Okkotsu Yuta waved.
Zenin Maki watched Tatsuro's departing figure, seeming very concerned.
Seeing this, Okkotsu Yuta asked, "Maki, do you have feelings for Tatsuro?"
"Ah! No!" Zenin Maki was flustered by the question. Then, realizing, she blushed and shouted, "Are you looking to die, Yuta?"
"If you like him, then go for it. You know Tatsuro's personality, Maki. He's always treated us as his best friends; he wouldn't think about dating." As Okkotsu Yuta spoke, he looked at the ring on his finger. He had fallen in love with Rika Orimoto at first sight, so he could sense these things.
"I won't. I'm not really sure." Zenin Maki, her cover blown, curled her legs up, her face flushed red.
Okkotsu Yuta just smiled at this and said, "Once Rika's curse is dispelled, perhaps I'll become an ordinary person. During this time, I want to help you all as much as possible."
"What are you talking about, like an idiot." Zenin Maki didn't want to talk about such a sad topic. She got off the desk and said, "I'm going back to my room."
"Mm, goodbye."
Zenin Maki closed the sliding door, muttered under her breath, "Who would like that idiot," and then left.
"Achoo!"
Tatsuro, in the forest, rubbed his nose. "Why do I feel like someone is cursing me?"
"Master, let me tell you, those few days were awesome! I felt like I reached the peak of dog life! I want to go again!" Shura wagged its tail, recounting the events of those few days out with Kinji Hakari.
"..."
Tatsuro was speechless. This child had been completely led astray by senior Hakari, becoming an unfeeling baby-making machine.
Lady Katsuyu said helplessly, "Sigh, Shura has had no interest in entering 'Sage Mode' these past few days. It makes me feel very helpless."
