Chapter 150: Aunt? Sister?
The three of them strolled around the courtyard of the "Zen Temple" casually, and the whereabouts of Megumi Fushiguro still needed further discussion.
Therefore, they stayed temporarily in the Zen temple, where they had rooms provided and people to serve them with food and clothing...even though Su Ze had dismissed all the servants.
In fact, there is nothing much to talk about Fushiguro Megumi. This is not a question that needs to be discussed. After all, Suze and Gojo Satoru came to the question with the "answer" in mind.
But Su Ze deliberately stayed for two more days. He wanted to observe the internal situation of the Chanyuan family - to observe carefully.
From the strict requirement that meal times must be within two quarters of an hour - to the fact that when women in the tribe walk with men, they must be three steps behind the men.
This rule was highly advocated by the young master, Zenin Naoya - he was even more oppressive towards the female members of his family.
After only a few brief contacts, Su Ze noticed that he had spoken rudely to his brothers in the clan more than once, and even commented on the appearance of his sisters.
He despised everyone in the Zenin family, even his uncle and father.
However, he is feared and dreaded by his tribesmen because of his extremely high talent.
In Su Ze's view, Zenin Naoya is a "dictator".
Su Ze tried his best to take everything in.
Because, "Zen Temple" will be an important and irreplaceable part of his "great cause".
Su Ze didn't want to wait any longer, and he didn't dare to wait any longer.
It's not just that unexplained uneasiness.
The word "noose" in his mind always served as a warning to him.
In addition to this, the word that appears and disappears together with the flying sword of the eighth hexagram is "Sukuna".
This seems to be an even more irrelevant word.
The thing that died thousands of years ago and was called the "Cursed King" by the world in fear.
In modern times, that mysterious Qi was brought into Su Ze's mind.
But Su Ze has tried his best, and the only thing related to "Sukuna" he can find is the Sukuna fingers sealed in the secret vault of the academy - there are six in total.
Sukuna had four hands, so the whereabouts of fourteen fingers are still unknown.
Although he didn't know if there was any inevitable connection between the curse from thousands of years ago and the present world, Su Ze would rather believe it.
He has begun to keep an eye out for clues about special-grade cursed spirits in various places, and at the same time tried to gather the remaining fourteen fingers.
At the same time, Su Ze has been reviewing the details of that summer three years ago.
He discovered some clues in those tedious task records.
That summer, Geto encountered many curses, many of which were extremely incompatible with him.
Among the tasks he was responsible for, there were seven that were all very intriguing.
The most obvious ones were once at a bond company, and another at a mountain village in Hokkaido - if you must insist, there was also the time when Huibara encountered the unexpected "land god".
Those cursed spirits and mission events seemed to have been manipulated in a rather obscure way——
And by coincidence, these tasks finally fell on Geto Suguru.
Su Ze carefully read the oral report record of Xia Youjie after his mission at the bond company.
He mentioned a seemingly insignificant incident in his report:
"At that time, there seemed to be a young woman laughing in the distance..."
"I suspect it might be my illusion. After all, I was not very emotional at the time—"
"...Her features? Let me think... Young, wearing a T-shirt, with short hair...?"
"—By the way, there seems to be a stitch on her forehead."
When Su Ze saw this line, his breathing unconsciously became heavier.
He asked Tengen about the "Noose", and the result was "an evil existence from the same period as Sukuna, who has been surviving in the world by changing his body--"
——So, that woman is the body that "Noose" currently occupies?
In short, taking all factors into consideration, the conclusion reached made Su Ze almost shocked.
——"Noose", it seems that it also wants Geto Suguru to fall into the "dark" side.
why?
What does it want?
What's so special about Jay?
...Is it the "Spirit Curse Manipulation Technique" that only appears once in a thousand years?
But what is its purpose in coveting the ritual?
——Tianyuan seems to know a lot of things, but she always keeps them secret.
Su Ze was a little depressed. He thought he should find time to have a good talk with Tian Yuan.
There seemed to be two small figures on the open-air corridor next to it.
Su Ze looked carefully and saw that Master Gojo, who was two steps ahead, also paused slightly.
They are two little girls.
He was breathing heavily and it seemed that he had run all the way here and caught up with Su Ze and the others.
They were both wearing loose, solid-color kimonos, one had a princess-cut bob with neat bangs, the other had an androgynous bob.
She looks to be around eight or nine years old, only slightly older than Megumi Fushiguro.
The girl with the princess cut seemed to be more bold and outgoing. She held the hand of the other girl and looked straight at Su Ze.
Another girl hid behind her.
"Ah, I remember you guys -" Su Ze said with a pleasant face, "- just now in the reception room, you were behind Mr. Chanyuan Shan."
In other words, they are members of the Zen Temple fan lineage.
"Let me think," Su Ze pondered for a moment, "Mr. Zenin Shan has two little daughters, named "Maki" and "Mai" respectively -"
He chuckled and pointed at the two sisters in turn.
Zenin Maki and Zenin Mai showed surprise at the same time. They didn't expect that Su Ze would remember the names of unknown people like them.
"Oh, don't think too much about it - I just paid attention to the main members of the Zen Temple in advance."
Su Ze is trying to hide his true intentions here.
But what he said was indeed true. Long before coming here, he had looked up all the information about the "Zen Temple" which had once been at the top of the list.
But what really made him pay attention to the two sisters was the scene in the reception room just now.
When he casually split the pear wood table with a stroke of his hand and then pointed his sword at Zenin Naoya, the other members of the Zen temple were either surprised, frightened, or angry.
But only Zenin Maki - only this little girl with a princess cut, Su Ze saw enthusiasm and pleasure in her eyes.
——And "admiration".
As for her younger sister, Zenin Shinyi, she grabbed her sister's arm the first moment she was frightened.
This is also rare in a "Zen" family where family ties are quite weak and siblings are very close to each other.
The two sisters still haven't recovered.
Su Ze suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to Fushiguro Hui beside him: "Hui, your grandfather and Mr. Zenin Fan are brothers--"
Fushiguro Megumi looked up blankly.
"——So, according to seniority, you should call Miss Maki and Miss Mayi "Auntie"."
Su Ze helped him sort out the generations with a smile, and there seemed to be a hint of amusement in his tone.
"W-what?!" Zenin Maki was instantly embarrassed and her face turned slightly red.
——What? I’m only one year older, so how come I’m an aunt?
In addition to nervousness, there was also surprise and a hint of panic on Zhenyi's face.
Young Master Gojo looked back and forth with great interest.
Suze's gentle voice sounded in Fushiguro Megumi's ears, "Megumi, don't you want to say hello to Miss Maki and Miss Mayi?"
It lingers like the whisper of a devil.
"what?"
Megumi Fushiguro also encountered the first biggest crisis in his life. He turned to look at Maki Zenin whose face was blushing.
The corners of his mouth trembled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and then he hesitated and spoke nervously -
"Aunt Maki, Aunt Zhenyi...good day."
Chanin Shinyi looked so aggrieved that she was about to cry.
