1. Maki?
Copy !req
2. She's just a weakling.
Copy !req
3. She can't even see curses.
Copy !req
4. She's just a normal person swinging around cursed tools.
Copy !req
5. She's forever a fourth-grade.
Copy !req
6. Why is she a jujutsu sorcerer in the first place?
Copy !req
7. Break's over.
Copy !req
8. Okay!
Copy !req
9. I see.
Copy !req
10. That's a relief.
Copy !req
11. Mai, you idiot!
Copy !req
12. She's crazy strong!
Copy !req
13. She's using a long weapon,
so I need to close the distance,
Copy !req
14. but I've got my hands full just defending!
Copy !req
15. If she were using the blade,
Copy !req
16. I would've died twice already!
Copy !req
17. You call this a fourth-grade?
Copy !req
18. She'd clean up a second-grade curse no problem!
Copy !req
19. And how the hell is she swinging
a polearm in these cramped woods?
Copy !req
20. New Shadow Style: Simple Domain!
Copy !req
21. My Simple Domain allows me to attack anything
within a 2.21-meter radius on full-auto reflex.
Copy !req
22. It's released if my feet move from their current position.
Copy !req
23. On top of that, my Quick Draw is most effective against enemies attacking head-on.
Copy !req
24. It covers my blade with cursed energy and accelerates drawing of the sword.
Copy !req
25. It's the fastest technique within the New Shadow Style.
Copy !req
26. But I doubt that'll be enough to settle the match.
Copy !req
27. I need to focus on creating an opening first.
Copy !req
28. Iaijutsu, huh?
Copy !req
29. Looks like she's got some tricks too.
Copy !req
30. Since I have the advantage of reach,
Copy !req
31. she probably wants to knock away my cursed tool and create an opening.
Copy !req
32. In that case...
Copy !req
33. She broke it?
Copy !req
34. She's throwing away her reach advantage?
Copy !req
35. She threw it?
Copy !req
36. A hidden weapon?
Copy !req
37. Her intuition's sharp!
Copy !req
38. She's using decoys to close the gap!
Copy !req
39. My legs moved!
Copy !req
40. But that's okay.
Copy !req
41. I'll pull back and draw her in just close enough—
Copy !req
42. Aikido? She's skilled!
Copy !req
43. Huh?
Copy !req
44. Nice blade you've got here.
Copy !req
45. Sword-stealing?
Copy !req
46. Give it back?
Copy !req
47. What an interesting girl.
Copy !req
48. You should promote her to second-grade already.
Copy !req
49. I feel the same way,
Copy !req
50. but the Zenin clan keeps getting in the way.
Copy !req
51. They should just be honest
and acknowledge her skills already.
Copy !req
52. I just can't understand connections that are not based on money.
Copy !req
53. I see you're just as miserly as ever.
Copy !req
54. Anyway, I can't help but notice that the footage around Yuji keeps cutting out a lot.
Copy !req
55. Animals are fickle.
Copy !req
56. Sharing my senses with them is tiring too.
Copy !req
57. Huh? Is that true?
Copy !req
58. Let's be blunt. Which side are you on, Mei-san?
Copy !req
59. Which side?
Copy !req
60. I'm on money's side, of course.
Copy !req
61. There's no value to something that can't be bought.
Copy !req
62. You can't make money out of it, after all.
Copy !req
63. Just how much have you saved up?
Copy !req
64. I don't know what you guys are planning,
Copy !req
65. but it won't be that easy to deal with Yuji anymore.
Copy !req
66. Oh!
Copy !req
67. We got some action.
Copy !req
68. We got some action.
Copy !req
69. We got some action.
Copy !req
70. Charms are placed on curses released in the area.
Copy !req
71. When the curse is exorcised,
Copy !req
72. When the curse is exorcised,
Copy !req
73. the corresponding charm here
in the viewing area is extinguished too.
Copy !req
74. They are extinguished in different ways based on the cursed energy registered.
Copy !req
75. When the Tokyo school exorcises one, they burn red.
Copy !req
76. When the Kyoto school exorcises one, they burn blue.
Copy !req
77. Since Maki-san is participating, we've made sure any unregistered responses burn red as well.
Copy !req
78. All these one-on-ones...
Copy !req
79. Did they forget why it's called a team battle?
Copy !req
80. Why can't they just get along?
Copy !req
81. They must take after you, Utahime.
Copy !req
82. You're the only one I have an issue with!
Copy !req
83. By the way, Panda-kun is the one who exorcised it.
Copy !req
84. Lucky!
Copy !req
85. Get down here, you damn witch!
Copy !req
86. I've come down a few times already.
Copy !req
87. Gonna catch me or not, rookie?
Copy !req
88. Her cursed energy wind is
strong enough to blow me away!
Copy !req
89. It hurts like hell when
pebbles and branches get caught in it!
Copy !req
90. If I drop my guard, it'll rip me to shreds!
Copy !req
91. How dare you hurt my precious face?
Copy !req
92. A scar on the face is a badge of honor for a man.
Copy !req
93. Though it's only a flaw on a woman.
Copy !req
94. Say what?
Copy !req
95. You think the world of
jujutsu sorcery is all about skill?
Copy !req
96. And it actually is.
Copy !req
97. That only applies to men.
Copy !req
98. Huh?
Copy !req
99. Even if a girl is skilled,
Copy !req
100. if she's not cute, she's looked down upon.
Copy !req
101. Of course, it's the same
even if she's cute but not skilled.
Copy !req
102. Do you get it?
Copy !req
103. They don't just demand strength from female sorcerers.
Copy !req
104. They demand perfection!
Copy !req
105. And on top of that,
Copy !req
106. Mai-chan has to deal with even more outrageous demands.
Copy !req
107. I get that you're a pain in the ass!
Copy !req
108. She's only a first-year, and she's already used to fighting?
Copy !req
109. She gets right back up no matter how many times I knock her down.
Copy !req
110. I've gotten used to being tossed around.
Copy !req
111. If I up my output any further, I might kill her.
Copy !req
112. But that's really just an excuse.
Copy !req
113. The main reason I can't attack her
Copy !req
114. is Inumaki-kun.
Copy !req
115. Cursed speech is words with spirit.
Copy !req
116. Essentially, imbuing sound with cursed energy.
Copy !req
117. You just need to protect yourself with cursed energy,
starting from ears to your brain.
Copy !req
118. Cursed speech is a technique specialized for use against cursed spirits.
Copy !req
119. Like I said before, it's nothing
to be afraid of if you know it's coming.
Copy !req
120. However, if you're not sure it's coming,
you're constantly distracted.
Copy !req
121. Protecting the inside of your head is difficult enough as it is already...
Copy !req
122. He's such a nuisance no matter where he is!
Copy !req
123. All done with your lecture?
Copy !req
124. Perfection is easy compared
to what is demanded of Mai-chan!
Copy !req
125. As one of the three elite jujutsu sorcerer families,
Copy !req
126. perfection is the norm for the Zenin clan.
Copy !req
127. "Inherit the Zenin clan's hereditary technique."
Copy !req
128. Any who don't meet that demand start their sorcerer lives as failures.
Copy !req
129. Among those, women aren't even allowed to stand at the starting line.
Copy !req
130. Without the Zenin clan lineage,
they're not considered sorcerers.
Copy !req
131. And if they're not sorcerers,
they're not considered people.
Copy !req
132. She has lived her entire life being despised in a family without a shred of affection.
Copy !req
133. Can you imagine the pain she and Mai-chan go through
Copy !req
134. just to enjoy what we take for granted?
Copy !req
135. Why don't you try thinking that over with that brain of yours that confuses curses for friends?
Copy !req
136. Shut up already.
Copy !req
137. You think misfortune is a free pass to do anything?
Copy !req
138. What, then?
Copy !req
139. You're okay with those who are blessed getting trash-talked behind their backs?
Copy !req
140. Because of that, Saori-chan...
Copy !req
141. I can't stand her, regardless of her upbringing.
Copy !req
142. And I love Maki-san, who endured the same thing.
Copy !req
143. Have any of you ever stopped to consider
what kind of person the idiot you're trying to kill is?
Copy !req
144. What makes us obligated
to meet such such absurd demands?
Copy !req
145. Is your entire life just a job?
Copy !req
146. Straw Doll Technique: Hairpin!
Copy !req
147. Is this why she kept shooting
nails that didn't land any hits?
Copy !req
148. You might have brought me lower, but you still won't reach me!
Copy !req
149. Nope, I got you!
Copy !req
150. This is plenty!
Copy !req
151. My broom's bristle? She must've grabbed it just now.
Copy !req
152. I don't give a damn about "men" this and "women" that!
Copy !req
153. You can keep that shit to yourselves!
Copy !req
154. I love myself when I'm pretty and all dressed up!
Copy !req
155. And I love myself when I'm being strong!
Copy !req
156. I am...
Copy !req
157. Kugisaki Nobara!
Copy !req
158. I can't control my broom!
Copy !req
159. If I hit her with my hammer, I might end up killing her.
Copy !req
160. In that case...
Copy !req
161. A squeaky hammer?
Copy !req
162. One more time!
Copy !req
163. Just barely within effective range.
Copy !req
164. I'm so glad it hit its mark.
Copy !req
165. Hello? Momo?
Copy !req
166. Don't worry, it's a rubber bullet.
Copy !req
167. More importantly, that light
earlier was Ultimate Cannon, right?
Copy !req
168. But I can't get in touch with Mechamaru.
Copy !req
169. If he was forced to use such a powerful technique and this is the end result, he probably lost.
Copy !req
170. Panda will most likely be back.
Copy !req
171. Get away from there and
support everyone from above.
Copy !req
172. We're all in trouble without you.
Copy !req
173. Okay.
Copy !req
174. Mai-chan, I...
Copy !req
175. It's all right, Momo. I know.
Copy !req
176. Yeah.
Copy !req
177. What, not gonna call your friends?
Copy !req
178. I don't mind going two-on-one.
Copy !req
179. There are other ways to enjoy this, you know?
Copy !req
180. I could have everyone beat you up together,
Copy !req
181. but I'd like to enjoy you...
Copy !req
182. all by myself.
Copy !req
183. How about calling me "Onee-chan," little sister.
Copy !req
184. What do you think of Maki-san?
Copy !req
185. She'll be mad no matter what I say!
Copy !req
186. I-I think she's a very wonderful lady.
Copy !req
187. Huh? I'm talking about as a sorcerer.
Copy !req
188. Oh, that? Thank goodness!
Copy !req
189. Honestly, I still don't know
much about jujutsu and all that,
Copy !req
190. but she's a fighter.
Copy !req
191. Maybe it's her balance or the way she walks
but you can tell she's something else.
Copy !req
192. Maki-san is a fourth-grade.
Copy !req
193. Huh? Seriously?
Copy !req
194. Her family is an annoying clan of sorcerers.
Copy !req
195. After she basically expelled herself and left, they've been interfering with her promotion.
Copy !req
196. If they're a powerful sorcerer family,
why wouldn't they want someone that strong?
Copy !req
197. They won't acknowledge what they've already rejected,
Copy !req
198. because they're idiots.
Copy !req
199. But if she performs well at the exchange event and her name gets spread around,
Copy !req
200. it'll be harder for them to harass her like that.
Copy !req
201. So let's start by winning the team battle!
Copy !req
202. Fight like you're gonna die again!
Copy !req
203. Sure.
Copy !req
204. I can hear you.
Copy !req
205. Jeez.
Copy !req
206. I shouldn't let myself get distracted.
Copy !req
207. What are you smiling about?
Copy !req
208. You think you can get the jump on me,
Copy !req
209. while also maintaining your distance?
Copy !req
210. As if!
Copy !req
211. From below?
Copy !req
212. I already knew.
Copy !req
213. Maki has a talent I don't.
Copy !req
214. Have you heard about Ougi's daughters?
Copy !req
215. One can't even see curses, let alone use techniques.
Copy !req
216. Twins are a sign of ill fortune, after all.
Copy !req
217. Maybe it's better this way.
Copy !req
218. I couldn't bear to see an eldest son as a servant.
Copy !req
219. Mai.
Copy !req
220. What's the matter? Hurry up.
Copy !req
221. I don't wanna.
Copy !req
222. What is it?
Copy !req
223. We'll get in trouble if we're late again.
Copy !req
224. Something's there.
Copy !req
225. Again?
Copy !req
226. All right, fine.
Copy !req
227. Are you ho... home...
Copy !req
228. C'mon, close your eyes.
Copy !req
229. Huh?
Copy !req
230. If you can't see it, then it's like it's not even there.
Copy !req
231. You've always been so fearless,
Copy !req
232. and plowed forward toward your future.
Copy !req
233. I hated you.
Copy !req
234. You're leaving the clan, Maki?
Copy !req
235. You have plenty of servants, right?
Copy !req
236. Don't worry, though.
Copy !req
237. I'll be back someday, Clan Leader.
Copy !req
238. What for?
Copy !req
239. To become the head of the Zenin clan!
Copy !req
240. Then I'll put you through ordeals befitting that!
Copy !req
241. Do as you please.
Copy !req
242. And Mai, as well.
Copy !req
243. She has nothing to do with this.
Copy !req
244. Liar.
Copy !req
245. I hate you!
Copy !req
246. That's six shots!
Copy !req
247. I won't let you reload!
Copy !req
248. I hate you!
Copy !req
249. Which is why
Copy !req
250. I never told you about things like my first crush
Copy !req
251. or my cursed technique!
Copy !req
252. Construction is a technique which uses one's cursed energy to create matter from nothing.
Copy !req
253. Unlike creating objects within
the barrier of a Domain Expansion,
Copy !req
254. the matter produced by Construction
doesn't disappear when the technique ends.
Copy !req
255. Because of that, it consumes a lot of cursed energy and puts a heavy strain on the body.
Copy !req
256. Creating one bullet a day is Mai's limit.
Copy !req
257. That's why she uses a revolver
to create an obvious bluff of her bullet count.
Copy !req
258. I win.
Copy !req
259. She caught the bullet?
Copy !req
260. Ow...
Copy !req
261. I shouldn't touch that with my bare hands.
Copy !req
262. Maki has a talent I don't.
Copy !req
263. It's similar to Mechamaru's Heavenly Pact, but the opposite.
Copy !req
264. You were supposed to be born with a cursed technique.
Copy !req
265. But you traded that for superhuman physical abilities.
Copy !req
266. The Zenin clan wouldn't acknowledge it.
Copy !req
267. That talent I lacked.
Copy !req
268. That's game, set, and match. Wouldn't you say?
Copy !req
269. Why did you leave?
Copy !req
270. Huh? Do I have to spell it out?
Copy !req
271. You joined Jujutsu Tech yourself!
Copy !req
272. I...
Copy !req
273. I never wanted to be a jujutsu sorcerer!
Copy !req
274. It's all your fault!
Copy !req
275. Always trying your hardest!
Copy !req
276. Forcing me to do the same!
Copy !req
277. All this effort, pain, and fear. I've had enough!
Copy !req
278. What was so bad about
being ordered around back home?
Copy !req
279. We could have just done a few chores and lived a normal life!
Copy !req
280. Why wouldn't you stay at the bottom with me?
Copy !req
281. Because I would have hated myself if I did that.
Copy !req
282. That's all there is to it.
Copy !req
283. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
284. Onee-chan, don't let go!
Copy !req
285. I won't.
Copy !req
286. Promise?
Copy !req
287. Jeez, give it a rest.
Copy !req
288. Promise me you'll never leave me behind.
Copy !req
289. Of course I won't.
Copy !req
290. We're sisters!
Copy !req
291. You lied to me.
Copy !req
292. I hate you so much.
Copy !req
293. Juju Stroll.
Copy !req
294. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
295. If I recall correctly,
Copy !req
296. I kept leftover edamame from lunch in the...
Copy !req
297. Sorry.
Copy !req
298. At least try to look a little sincere, will you?
Copy !req
299. Here, have this and forgive me.
Copy !req
300. No, I'm not into late-night cup ramen.
Copy !req
301. How about this?
Copy !req
302. Nishimiya-style Seafood Cup Ramen recipe!
Copy !req
303. First, chop up hot chili peppers using scissors into the seafood cup ramen!
Copy !req
304. Then, fill the container halfway with milk.
Copy !req
305. Finally, add hot water up to the line inside!
Copy !req
306. Since we're using milk,
make sure the water's boiling hot!
Copy !req
307. I-It's delicious!
Copy !req
308. This is really good!
Copy !req
309. Right?
Copy !req
310. Maybe I'll try it next time too.
Copy !req
311. You could've just eaten this if it's so good.
Copy !req
312. Well, you still pay for
late-night cup ramen the next day.
Copy !req
313. Once again I woke up with warm tears in my eyes
Copy !req
314. Where are all those dreams I longed for?
Copy !req
315. Where are you?
Copy !req
316. I'm all alone
Copy !req
317. Give it back
Copy !req
318. Tell me when will it get easier?
Copy !req
319. I will wait here
Copy !req
320. I'll keep enduring
Copy !req
321. all the waves
Copy !req
322. that come and go
Copy !req
323. I'm not alone
Copy !req
324. That's what I want to believe
Copy !req
325. Take my hand so we don't get separated
Copy !req
326. Tomorrow, let's move forward on the path we've chosen for ourselves
Copy !req
327. Once again I woke up with warm tears in my eyes
Copy !req
328. Where are all those dreams I longed for?
Copy !req
329. Where are you?
Copy !req
330. I'm all alone
Copy !req
331. Please
Copy !req
332. Give it back
Copy !req
333. Tell me when will it get easier?
Copy !req
334. I will wait here
Copy !req
335. I'll keep enduring
Copy !req
336. all the waves
Copy !req
337. that come and go
Copy !req
338. I'm not alone
Copy !req
339. That's what I want to believe
Copy !req
340. Take my hand so we don't get separated
Copy !req
341. Tomorrow, let's move forward on the path we've chosen for ourselves
Copy !req
