Chapter 153: Senpai Hakari's Invitation, Casino Operations

The moment Tatsuro answered the phone, Kinji Hakari's boisterous voice came through, punctuated by the occasional sound of a dog barking. "Junior Luo, have you considered coming over to manage my casino?"

"Sure, I'll be there in a couple of days."

Tatsuro, deciding to go on strike, opted to go out and rest for a few days. He also wanted to see if his son, Shura, had inherited his cursed technique. After all, they were of the same bloodline; it was time for a family reunion.

"Uh… okay!"

Kinji Hakari hadn't expected to successfully invite him over so smoothly this time. After all, he usually came up with all sorts of excuses. He asked quizzically, "Did you get into some huge trouble again, junior?"

"Not at all. It's just that it's July now, and the missions to exorcise curses have decreased (for others, at least). The Tokyo Goodwill Event is in August and September. I'm just going to your place to relax."

"Not staying for long, then…"

Kinji Hakari was a bit wistful. If his junior came, he could expand the scale of his casino. If this thing got too big, the higher-ups and the three great families would surely interfere.

He was easily ignited by passion, but he wasn't an idiot. How to operate the casino was a crucial issue for him. It was impossible for him to take on the higher-ups alone. After all, if his luck was bad and he didn't hit the jackpot, he'd be finished.

Junior Tatsuro was also very strong. Having him come over for a month or so to help run things and intimidate those guys from the higher-ups should be no problem.

A smile of anticipation spread across his face. "Great! I'll be waiting for your arrival, Junior Tatsuro!"

"Mm."

Tatsuro looked at the disconnected call, feeling like he had jumped into another wolf's den. He put the phone in his pocket and walked out, carrying the unconscious Yuji.

Yuji's performance this time, how to put it, was like he was just coasting along the whole time without any highlights. But he should have learned a lot and become clearer about his own position. The rest could be left to Maki and Gojo-sensei to polish his martial arts. He should be more than ready for the upcoming Tokyo Goodwill Event.

"Welcome back."

Junpei Yoshino saw Tatsuro emerge from the sewer with the unconscious Yuji Itadori and quickly ran up to them. "Tatsuro… uh, what happened to Yuji?!"

"You can just call me Sorcerer Tatsuro from now on. We're in different departments, after all."

Seeing that Junpei Yoshino didn't know how to address him, Tatsuro said, "Yuji is fine, just unconscious. He'll be okay after a good night's sleep."

"Oh, I see…"

Junpei Yoshino breathed a sigh of relief knowing Yuji was okay. Kiyotaka Ijichi, after finishing his tasks, walked over, looked at Tatsuro, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Sorcerer Tatsuro."

"It's fine. It's just that the special grade curse was too good at running, so I couldn't keep him here. I'll have to trouble you to keep a slight eye out in the future…"

Tatsuro gave a simple report, then summoned Shura and had him carry Yuji Itadori back to Jujutsu High.

"Jujutsu sorcerers are all such strange people. Their mounts are strange too," Junpei Yoshino muttered, watching the two leave on the back of a dog.

"That dog, Shura, is very strong. If we were to rate his sorcerer grade, he could be rated as a Semi-Grade 2 Sorcerer."

Kiyotaka Ijichi pushed up his glasses. He had seen Shura fight at Jujutsu High before. He was tough, had explosive power, and could even perform ultra-long-range attacks. The rating of Semi-Grade 2 was actually quite conservative.

"Eh! Is that so? What level is a Semi-Grade 2 equivalent to?" Junpei Yoshino asked with curiosity.

"Compared to a normal human, you'd need at least a rocket launcher to deal with him, and even then, you might not be able to break his defense."

"That strong!?"

Junpei Yoshino swallowed hard. The people who became jujutsu sorcerers were truly not ordinary. No… this should be considered non-human, right? No wonder he didn't agree to let him become a sorcerer. Compared to Mahito's sweet talk, Sorcerer Tatsuro's strictness felt more appropriate for him now!

"Alright, prepare yourself. Don't throw up your breakfast when you see the cursed spirit's corpse inside. Sorcerer Tatsuro always goes for a one-hit kill, especially with curses that were once human. They aren't exorcised; they simply meet their death."

"Mm…"

Remembering how he hadn't cared about those humans yesterday, Junpei Yoshino now felt ashamed. He was also glad that he hadn't interacted too much with Mahito. Otherwise, once he got bored of him, he would have ended up in the same state.

"Let's go."

Feeling that Junpei was ready, Ijichi walked ahead, taking him to see what he would have to face in his future.

A person has many choices in life. The most important thing is to adhere to one's own bottom line. A person without a bottom line lives a meaningless life. Try setting some small goals for yourself; that might make things much better.

An hour later, as soon as he arrived at the gates of Jujutsu High, Tatsuro saw a black car parked by the roadside. The characters for "Kyoto" were written on the car door, making it easy to guess that the Kyoto principal was here to discuss the Goodwill Event.

They had to decide on the competition events in advance to start preparations. He had destroyed one of their forests last year; was that old geezer planning to get revenge this year?!

Walking into Jujutsu High, he saw two blurry figures zipping across the rooftops. Tatsuro paid them no mind. After all, fights between the two schools upon meeting were all too common. It could even help increase their friendship.

"BEST FRIEND! WHERE ARE YOU!?"

A sudden loud shout made Tatsuro freeze. He then looked up at the blurry figure in the sky. He seemed to be shirtless. Needless to say, this was definitely Aoi Todo!

After all, only he would do something like this. He tossed the Yuji in his arms to Shura at his side and said, "Keep an eye on this kid for me. I'm going to check it out."

"Yes, Master!"

Shura nodded. Watching his master's departing figure, he turned and scanned the surroundings. For some reason, he had the feeling he was being watched. It wasn't the same feeling as that one-eyed curse; it was just a feeling of being observed. Very strange.

"Stop shouting. Luo is out on a mission. He's not here."

Panda stared at the shirtless Aoi Todo before him. Behind him, Fushiguro Megumi was beaten and paralyzed on the ground.

"Stop bleeding."

Inumaki Toge was using the command aspect of his Cursed Speech to help Megumi heal, but it could only stop the bleeding. Anything more precise was beyond the reach of his words.

"He's not here? Well, forget it then…"

Aoi Todo was disappointed to learn that Tatsuro wasn't here. He had thought he could have a spar with his best friend today. His spar with Fushiguro Megumi had been forcefully interrupted, and now he had lost interest, not to mention there was a Cursed Speech user staring at him.

"Just got back. What did you call me for?"

With the sound of footsteps on wood, Tatsuro's voice echoed in the ears of the three boys and one panda. He gave the battlefield a quick glance and said, "Aoi Todo, you're bullying a first-year junior. That's very immoral, you know."

"Luo!"

Panda was overjoyed, waving his fist and shouting, "Hurry up and demolish him! Show this guy how strong you are."

"I don't want to fight. I just had a head-on clash with Ryomen Sukuna an hour ago. I'm a bit tired."

Tatsuro refused outright. He really had no interest in fighting anymore. Although he had never seen Aoi Todo go all out, it was better to save the fight for the Goodwill Event.

If they really fought here, they would level the place, and Principal Yaga would start yelling again.

"Then let's save it for the Goodwill Event."

Aoi Todo didn't mind. His main purpose for finding Tatsuro wasn't to spar anyway. There was a Takada-chan handshake event later, and he wasn't familiar with Tokyo. Outside of Kyoto, he had no sense of direction.

He fumbled for the ticket in his pocket and said, "Let's go find Takada-chan together, best friend! After not seeing each other for a year, we need this kind of romantic friendship, under the gaze of Takada-chan!"

"..."

"This guy is seriously sick," Inumaki Toge remarked.

"Indeed."

Panda nodded, but at least the crisis was averted. If they had really fought, he and Toge might not have been able to handle this guy. After all, he was a man who could single-handedly exorcise a special grade curse!

Although Luo could probably do it too…

"I know. Wait a minute, I have an unconscious junior to take back."

Tatsuro didn't refuse. He jumped down from the wooden post, and the dark purple rhombus on his forehead came into the view of the others.

"When did Luo start liking accessories?" asked the sharp-eyed Panda.

"No idea. It's probably some cursed technique. After all, Luo doesn't like those fancy things."

Inumaki Toge shrugged and looked at Fushiguro Megumi beside him. "Can you still move? Ah! I forgot to ask Luo to heal you just now!"

"I'm fine, Inumaki-senpai."

Fushiguro Megumi slowly got up, his eyes reflecting Aoi Todo's figure. This guy was really strong, with terrifying physical power. Although he lost this time, once he could enter 'Sage Mode', he would definitely be able to beat him!

"Then I'm leaving. See you at the Goodwill Event!"

Aoi Todo was quite polite. He muttered, "Where did my clothes go?" and then jumped down from the ten-meter-high platform.

"If you want to continue being a jujutsu sorcerer, you have to learn to choose who you provoke."

In a hallway, a "clank" sound came from a vending machine as a drink fell into the slot. Nobara Kugisaki was lying on the ground, her white tracksuit torn, revealing a hint of flesh through a round hole.

Zenin Mai, holding a gun, gently pulled the trigger. A "click" sound was heard. She smiled and said, "The bullets here are custom-made. They hurt a lot when they hit people, but they don't draw blood."

"Who are you? What did you do!?"

Kurosaki Mafuyu, hearing the sounds of fighting, came running. Seeing Nobara on the ground, her black pupils went from surprised to furious, glaring at the woman who resembled Maki-senpai.

"Oh my, isn't it obvious?"

Zenin Mai looked with interest at the girl glaring at her. Seeing her easy-to-bully appearance, her venomous-tongued instincts kicked in. "I heard you have a classmate named Yuji who is the 'Sukuna vessel'. I'm really worried for you all. Being with a monster that could lose control at any moment must be terrifying, right?"

"Don't you dare insult Yuji! He's not a monster!"

This time, Kurosaki Mafuyu didn't call her sister to come and deal with her. She charged forward herself, gathering her 'Cursed Technique' in her hands and striking at the enemy before her.

Yuji Itadori was Ryomen Sukuna's vessel, that was true, but he was not a monster! And this person had hit Nobara. Unforgivable!

"You're as stupid as that one. Provoked by a few words, regardless of how much stronger the enemy is."

Zenin Mai raised her gun and fired. The special bullet accurately hit Kurosaki Mafuyu's ankle. Taking advantage of her loss of balance, she kicked her in the face, sending her flying.

Bang!

"Ow, my face…"

Kurosaki Mafuyu clutched her face, tears streaming down her cheeks. Although she had been in special training, it had only been a few days, and the effects of the training hadn't shown at all. In a real fight, she only knew the basics.

"Oh dear, crying already? This year's first-year students at the Tokyo school are not very good," Zenin Mai said with a laugh.

"This is ridiculous. You dare kick my face?!"

Kurosaki Tama, taking over her sister's body, glared at the woman before her. The tears were still in her eyes, making her expression look somewhat eerie. She picked up a broken piece of stone from the ground, applied 'Stardust Manipulation' to it, chose the explosion effect, calculated the timing, and threw it.

Zenin Mai prepared to catch this non-lethal move with her bare hands. After all, what kind of attack could a first-year who cried after one kick possibly have? It was just a powerless rage…

"Stop messing around!"

Zenin Maki's voice came out. A wooden staff suddenly shot out, knocking the stone away. Just as Maki turned her head to look, a violent explosion sounded behind her.

BOOM!

The violent explosion created a shockwave that blew through the hair of the girls present. Zenin Maki scolded, "Are you trying to kill her, Tama? And you, Mai, what's with bullying first-years?"

"Tch, she was the one who kicked me in the face first and made my sister cry."

Kurosaki Tama looked unconvinced. A woman's face was her taboo. Precisely because it was a taboo, their conversations were always cutting. Not to mention, she had also made Kurosaki Mafuyu cry. It was a pity she didn't die…

"..."

Nobara Kugisaki, who had been playing dead, had at some point crawled behind Zenin Mai. She suddenly lunged, locking her in a chokehold, the veins on her forehead bulging. "It's a shame Tama's move didn't finish you off. How dare you put a hole in my tracksuit! Hurry up and leave your uniform as compensation."

"Isn't this a sneak attack?" Zenin Mai said indignantly.

"You should burn some incense that you didn't die this time, Mai."

Maki walked over, exasperated. Luckily, her sharp eyes had spotted the cursed technique engraved on the stone. Otherwise, that hit would have at least blown off an arm. To provoke Tama to the point of wanting to kill someone, should she praise this girl for her venomous tongue or for being a fool?

She was about to catch a stone that someone else had touched with her bare hands. In the future, she probably wouldn't even know how she died.

"Tch, how dare a good-for-nothing with no cursed energy lecture me?" Even at a disadvantage, Zenin Mai's mouth was still as stubborn as ever.

"How are you any different from me? You only know how to imbue items with cursed energy, but you don't know a single cursed technique."

Looking at Mai, who was locked in Nobara's grip, Zenin Maki was thinking about how to punish her. Her mouth was foul and stubborn, and she refused to admit her mistakes even in death. As her older sister, she had to teach her what it meant to correct one's mistakes.

"A fight broke out over here too? Looks like no one's seriously hurt."

Tatsuro's voice came. He looked at the situation and, seeing that no one was seriously injured, didn't plan to use the Reverse Cursed Technique to heal them.

"Yo, isn't that Maki's little boyfr—"

Seeing Tatsuro arrive, Zenin Mai had already thought of how to mock Maki next. She had only gotten halfway through her sentence when a size 38 shoe filled her vision, followed by an intimate contact between her face and the sole.

In the next moment, she was unconscious…

"If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!"

Zenin Maki, upholding justice even against her own family, looked at the unconscious Mai and signaled for Nobara to let go. She said, "Why be a person when you've got a mouth like that?"
