I, in a Jujutsu Kaisen Manga, Take the Detective Conan World by Storm Chapter 82 : Characters from the Gojo Family & Sukuna's Ingr
Ryon Sukuna looked like he didn't believe it at all. His expression and eyes were all conveying: I know you're disgusting , enough already.
Jiang Lai collected his perfunctory performance attitude and returned to his usual calm. He just silently replied in his heart: Indeed, in this era telling the truth gets no believers.jpg
"Alright, let's skip this topic for now." Jiang Lai walked forward a few steps, resting his book in his palm: "Where are you planning to go?"
"Where am I planning to go?" Ryon Sukuna chewed over this sentence, showing a sowhat sarcastic smile. He placed his hand on the transparent barrier, drawing out his voice: "Remove this, and naturally I'll go wherever I want."
"That's not impossible."
To Ryon Sukuna's slight surprise, the other's words seed to agree. He raised his eyebrows and stared at the black-haired youth, waiting for that guy's next sentence.
Jiang Lai's expression remained normal as he said gently: "But you left quite a ss before. Six Eyes is very angry, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet. If we just let it slide so simply, wouldn't that be..."
"Didn't you already disgust just now," the cherry-pink haired youth rolled his eyes, "with that brother relationship stuff."
Jiang Lai (smiling): "...That really was the truth. Also, not respecting one's elder brother deserves punishnt."
Ryon Sukuna snorted contemptuously, his crimson eyes filled with danger as always. However, since the current him couldn't beat Jiang Lai, all this dangerous aura had no real threatening power.
The snow had mostly stopped now, with the bright moon hanging overhead.
Jiang Lai gazed into the distance. After thinking for a mont, he said thoughtfully: "I've already figured out how to punish you. It's a very malicious move, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow during the day. It's too late today."
Ryon Sukuna looked indifferent: "No need to wait until tomorrow." He squeezed out low laughter from his throat: "Let see what skills you have... malicious moves? Do you even have any?"
"No, if I said tomorrow, then it's tomorrow."
As Jiang Lai spoke, he lightly flicked his fingertips, using spatial techniques to create an air hammock between two trees, then leaped up and lay down comfortably.
"Using your ability for this?" Ryon Sukuna mocked: "How boring."
Jiang Lai, lying comfortably on his side on the air hammock, heard this and seed quite considerate as he asked:
"Is that so? Do you want a hammock too, Sukuna? But you're currently in the punishnt phase of not being allowed to listen to stories, so I won't rock a hammock while telling you bedti stories."
The cherry-pink haired youth was thoroughly disgusted again. He used intersecting cursed blades to cut at the transparent barrier, the sharp clashing sounds ringing in their ears.
Jiang Lai treated it as white noise, floating and ignoring it completely. He just lightly waved his hand at the end, expanding that spatial barrier so Ryon Sukuna could sit or lie down to rest.
Jiang Lai: I really am a good older brother.jpg
Logically, true [Existences] didn't need sleep, but because he had just used his abilities and borne sinful karma, drowsiness arose.
Therefore, Jiang Lai still followed his instincts and decided to lie down for a brief night's rest.
"You should rest well too, Sukuna." Jiang Lai said: "Don't forget there's a super malicious move waiting for you tomorrow."
"Malicious?" Ryon Sukuna finally stopped his aningless cutting, grinning as he half-narrowed his eyes: "...Fine, I'm looking forward to it."
…
The next day.
Jiang Lai and Ryon Sukuna, surrounded by spatial techniques, walked to the vicinity of another new village.
To avoid trouble, Jiang Lai didn't bring Ryon Sukuna into the village. He constructed a transparent cat box to leave the other in place, calculating the ti in his mind.
Spatial technique arrangents without his presence couldn't be adjusted and repaired in real ti, so they had ti limits.
"Please wait here for a mont. I'll be right back." Jiang Lai put a fox mask back on his face and stepped into the village.
This village happened to be having a market day.
Jiang Lai had searched for Heian-kyo spice substitutes from his book (phone) in advance, but when he actually arrived at this market, he discovered he didn't need to slowly search using reference materials.
This Jujutsu Kaisen world's alternate version of Heian-kyo surprisingly had nearly complete seasonings just like modern tis, with similar nas even. This was very convenient.
Therefore, Jiang Lai didn't waste any effort and bought all kinds of items.
Regarding money, he had to thank the long-haired Gojo from before. When they were shopping there, the other had casually stuffed a lot of money into Jiang Lai's hands. Now it ca in handy.
Carrying the items in a simple bundle, on his way back, just as Jiang Lai was about to leave the village, his [Existence]-level highly sensitive hearing caught different low discussion voices from the crowd.
"...There are traces of that person. Soone around here said they saw a white-haired youth pass through this area. We should be able to find him at the next village..."
It was a deep voice, probably a guard or warrior's role.
"That guy is really sothing, just leaving on a whim to go play. The family is in chaos because of him. Why can't we just let responsible servants search? Why do we have to participate too, running around so hard..."
It was a sharp voice with so dissatisfaction and complaints.
"Don't be disrespectful, Tanitsu." Another gentle voice responded. Though the content was reproachful, the tone wasn't harsh: "Speaking about that person like this could get you punished in the family."
"...Sorry, I just..."
"It's fine, no problem. I'm just reminding you not to say complaining things in front of others next ti. Let's continue searching. If we find him, we still need to persuade him to return ho." The gentle voice continued.
The voices gradually beca unclear as distance increased. Jiang Lai tilted his head slightly, glancing over from afar.
The discussions ntioning "white-haired youth" made Jiang Lai pause for half a second as he realized who the "runaway" they were discussing was - most likely the long-haired Gojo Satoru from a thousand years ago.
Indeed, the Gojo family had been privately searching for the white long-haired cat who had impulsively run away from ho. After all, Six Eyes was very important to the Gojo family.
Jiang Lai's gaze swept over. Those figures turned a corner ahead, and he only caught the silhouette of the last speaker with the gentle voice - those narrowly outlined eyes were a particularly rare pale blue color.
The bustling crowd soon obscured those people, and Jiang Lai also withdrew his gaze, continuing to walk forward normally.
After walking so distance, he suddenly recalled sothing.
Wait, pale blue eyes... he seed to have seen this person before, had so mory of them!
Jiang Lai retrieved very old images from his mind. At the beginning of the Yesterday's Past arc at the Gojo family shrine, not long after witnessing young Gojo go down the mountain, another figure had co to the shrine alone.
At that ti, Jiang Lai had observed him from afar in the forest, catching sight of those pale blue eyes.
Later, when chatting with young Gojo at the fireworks festival, young Gojo ntioned there was a young elder in the family, saying maintaining appearance was probably the other's technique.
So were these two people with narrow pale blue eyes the sa person... or so ancestor and descendant relationship?
Being the sa person seed a bit ridiculous. This was a thousand years ago - could it be so immortality technique?
But the ancestor setting was also ridiculous, since those pale blue eyes seed more like a mutation rather than so stably inherited trait.
Pondering this, Jiang Lai temporarily noted this point in his heart, planning to consider it more carefully after gathering other intelligence clues.
He carried the bundle full of items back to the location outside the village. Ryon Sukuna was sitting cross-legged on the ground, already beginning to develop preliminary ti-killing abilities.
Noticing Jiang Lai's return, he only lazily lifted his eyelids, laughing nastily: "Did you go robbing or stealing?"
"Money left by Ohagi. These were proper transactions." Jiang Lai put down his bundle and took out the items one by one.
Ryon Sukuna noticed what the other had bought. After his expression paused briefly, it turned to keen interest: "You're going to cook?"
"Yes." Jiang Lai nodded, turning his head to smile: "You're hungry, right?"
Ryon Sukuna didn't think the person in front of him would be so kind. His crimson eyes glanced at the seasonings and wild birds on the ground, finding it sowhat laughable inwardly: could the so-called malicious punishnt thod just be forcing him to eat bird at?
The Heian-kyo prohibited eating beast at except fish, so they basically didn't raise livestock.
These remote villages occasionally ate so hunted wild bird at, but Japanese nobles absolutely wouldn't eat it.
However, Ryon Sukuna naturally had no such concerns. He even ate human flesh. If this was the punishnt thod, it would actually be more like a benefit for him.
Ryon Sukuna propped his cheek with one hand, watching with interest as the person in front used techniques to process the bird at from a distance.
The navy blue figure's movents were smooth and beautiful, processing cleanly and orderly. The series of operations from building a small barbecue stove to applying various seasonings were all very efficient.
Jiang Lai was quite good at cooking. He had learned all this processing before, and had specifically used his book (phone) to review it several tis before going to market. Plus, using techniques rather than his hands made the operation cleaner and smoother.
Soon, the aroma of roasted bird at wafted out. The fragrance lingered nearby, stirring up appetite. The transparent cat box didn't block scents.
Ryon Sukuna said leisurely: "Can't tell... so you really can cook."
"I'm strong in all aspects." Jiang Lai nodded confidently with a smile, taking the fragrant roasted bird at down from the rack.
Then, under Ryon Sukuna's gaze, he put the roasted bird at into his own mouth and began eating elegantly and happily.
Ryon Sukuna: "?"
Ryon Sukuna lowered the hand supporting his cheek, all four eyes staring at the black-haired youth: "...You eat at?" This wasn't prepared to force him to eat??
"What's wrong? It's very fragrant." Jiang Lai replied calmly, then smiled gently: "You're hungry, right? Don't worry, you can watch eat."
He lowered his eyes slightly, continuing his elegant al.
Ryon Sukuna: "??"
The official guidebook ntioned that Ryon Sukuna had no hobbies except eating, and even found a particularly good cook as his subordinate, Urau.
Therefore, for an extre libertarian who found pleasure in fine food, the most malicious punishnt was to restrain his freedom, let him go hungry, then eat deliciously in front of him!
Jiang Lai silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
Force works both ways. If he beat soone up, he'd still have to exert effort using techniques. Better to enjoy eating while the other suffered without him suffering at all.
As an [Existence], Jiang Lai had no sense of fullness or hunger. Therefore, after finishing the whole roasted bird, he made several roasted fruits.
He also deliberately applied plenty of seasoning while using techniques to fan the aroma toward the cherry-pink haired youth. His malicious intent was obvious.
Ryon Sukuna: "..."
If looks could kill, the navy blue figure would already be dismbered.
After Jiang Lai flowed through his delicious al like flowing water, drank so water, and cleaned up with techniques, Ryon Sukuna, who had been silent the whole ti, finally spoke slowly: "I changed my mind."
"What?" Jiang Lai looked up.
"Direct cutting and killing seems a bit wasteful." Ryon Sukuna laughed lowly, not hiding his malice at all: "I suddenly want to try cooking thods. But although your cooking is good, you probably can't cook yourself, so I'll need to find an additional chef."
"Planning to eat ?" Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling casually and calmly: "If you can manage it."
He was already used to Ryon Sukuna's hellish style and wasn't particularly surprised by what the other said.
However, Jiang Lai hadn't planned to actually starve the other to death. What if all the other's sinful karma accumulated on his own head? That wouldn't be fun.
By the way, honestly, could the other actually be starved to death? He was an [Existence] after all, even if a degraded chaotic version.
He threw over the flatbread he'd bought from the market, along with several wild fruits out of kindness. Ryon Sukuna caught them smoothly and ate without fuss.
When his canine teeth tore and bit, his eyes swept over the navy blue figure, his swallowing motions like devouring from afar.
Jiang Lai remained calm, treating it as his silly little brother having another rebellious phase episode. After using techniques to level the scene and complete his planned "malicious punishnt," the previous drowsiness arose again.
Although he had rested last night, he seed not to have fully replenished his energy.
Jiang Lai yawned lightly, lowering his eyes slightly, planning to rest a little more.
"Take your ti eating, no rush. If you behave well in the future, I might cook you a al too." Jiang Lai said with a grin, manipulating space to create another air hammock, preparing to sleep.
It was dayti now, but winter daylight wasn't harsh. Jiang Lai opened his book and placed it over his face, letting the tide-like drowsiness sweep over him as he drifted into sleep.
…
[Existences] probably didn't dream.
The sound of wind whistling past his ears grew louder and softer. His thoughts gradually returned. Awakening from deep sleep, Jiang Lai pulled the book from his face, only then noticing it was completely dark.
"I actually slept all afternoon." Jiang Lai stretched lazily, leisurely adjusting his position and descending from his air hammock.
The cherry-pink four-ard youth stood beside him. Jiang Lai was sowhat surprised - had his spatial barrier been set to allow the other this close to him?
Under the moonlight, Ryon Sukuna laughed with unclear expression, raising his hand slightly to send intersecting sharp cursed blades!
The cursed blades reached his side in a breath. The air barrier around Jiang Lai blocked those cursed blades, dissolving the attack!
"...You actually got out of the barrier?" Jiang Lai was sowhat surprised.
"Your spatial barriers can't last too long without real-ti monitoring and repair, right?" Ryon Sukuna squeezed out sounds from his throat, grinning: "Half a day is enough to break through, let alone ten days."
"Ten days?" Jiang Lai paused again. Had he really slept that long?
"Ah, sothing like that." Ryon Sukuna said casually, as if he hadn't specifically counted either.
"If it was that long, why didn't you leave but stayed here?" Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly, asking: "Don't tell you were really waiting for to cook for you?"
"Because I was trying to kill you!" Ryon Sukuna laughed loudly, his crimson eyes turning over as he rested one hand on his chin: "But I didn't expect that even while sleeping, you have a layer of spatial techniques for isolation... Of course, it's not completely unbreakable."
Jiang Lai frowned slightly, then touched his neck.
He could feel a not-very-obvious wound, like being scratched by a wire, short and shallow, but definitely there.
It seed bearing sinful karma would transform into a period of dormancy, he thought. Did he really sleep for ten days this ti?
"Resurrecting the village really had a price," Ryon Sukuna mused, his villain tone drawn out. He swept his gaze over, laughing lowly: "You've gotten a bit weaker. Don't let your guard down - I told you that before."
