After all, no one knew what the situation inside was with such a large-scale Barrier, and they, who had just experienced the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons last year, seemed to be unable to bear the large-scale casualties of sorcerers.
The people didn't have too many objections in their hearts, and this discussion had ended quickly;
[The Jujutsu Headquarters' announcement is as follows: Special Grade Sorcerer Gojo Satoru will quell the Shibuya disturbance alone. The sorcerers, who are free at this moment, should leave and go to the outside of the Barrier to stand by and clean up the curses that Gojo Satoru has missed, and Special Grade Sorcerer Yuuki should stand by at the Tokyo school, and Special Grade Sorcerer Okkotsu Yuta should be contacted to return to the country.]
It was impossible for them to protect all of the non-sorcerers inside the Barrier, and it was the most stable method to protect the sorcerers to the best of their ability at this moment, and although they were a group of old things, who clung to conventions, they had also sensed that things were not right keenly at this moment;
The three Special Grade cursed spirits would normally be handed over to Grade 1 and Grade 2 sorcerers to cooperate and besiege, but these three were so powerful that Grade 1 sorcerers might be killed in an instant if they were even slightly careless.
They were thinking about having Gojo Satoru clean up those cursed spirits at this moment, and if Gojo Satoru couldn't do it, they still had Yuuki, as well as Special Grade Sorcerer Okkotsu Yuta, who could be summoned back from abroad at any time.
This kind of battle might very well be something that regular Grade 1 sorcerers couldn't interfere with.
A large number of Grade 1 sorcerers and family heads' phones had started to ring at the same time as the Jujutsu Headquarters' announcement was transmitted.
"Drip, drip, drip…"
Kento Nanami took out the phone, which had been ringing in his pocket, and his pupils had contracted slightly when he had checked the text message, and he picked up the suit on the chair, and he said, "Ino, let's go."
"Oh, is there something urgent? Nanami-san."
Takuma Ino was looking at Kento Nanami, who had a serious expression, and he quickly finished his coffee in one gulp, and he chased after him.
"There is, and as for whether it's urgent, we'll only know when we get there."
...
The Kamo family hadn't responded to this matter, and after all, the current family head had already died at home, and no one had found out; the Gojo family head was Gojo Satoru, and he was wandering on the streets and eating ice cream at this moment, and he had just said "Interesting" after glancing at the information, which had been transmitted suddenly on his phone; Naobito Zenin had glanced at the information, and his mustache had curled up, and he didn't have any intention of going, and he was waiting for his grandson's arrival at this moment.
The people from the Kyoto school and the Tokyo school had also received the information at this moment, and everyone, who wasn't out on a mission, had been notified to leave and go to outside the Shibuya Barrier to wait for orders, and they would exchange information with the assistant supervisors, who were waiting on the field.
Yuuki, who was outside, was looking at the information, which had suddenly started to ring on his phone, and the corners of his mouth had raised slightly, and he opened his mouth and said, "They're truly quick… the final battle, and let me see what you guys can stir up."
Above a height of ten thousand meters, the Explosion Clay Bird, whose size was hundreds of meters long, was flapping its wings at this moment, and Yuuki had teleported away after leaving a Flying Thunder God mark on its body, and he was going to the Tokyo school to get his equipment, and he had glanced at the direction in passing and had had the Golden Eagle fly straight.
He wasn't taking the old guys from the higher-ups' announcement seriously at all, and would he wait obediently just because they had him wait for orders?
And they had Gojo Satoru advance alone, and it would be good if he didn't lose a layer of skin after going in at this moment, and after all, that guy was cunning and thoughtful.
"Swish—"
Yuuki had returned home, and Ueno Shune, who was sitting on the bed and was watching TV, said happily after seeing that her older brother had returned, "Older brother!"
"Mm, and your older brother has some things to handle tonight, and I'm going to take Shura away, and you have to sleep quietly alone, and I bought you this cloth doll."
Yuuki handed the cloth doll in his hand to Ueno Shune, who was on the bed, and then he picked her up and placed her on the ground, and he lifted up the mattress and took away the All-Purpose Summoning Scroll, which had been stored inside.
"Mm, and when will older brother be back?"
Ueno Shune also knew that it was a very important matter while looking at her older brother, who had taken away the scroll under the bed, and after all, Maki-nee had suddenly left not long ago, and she had said that she had some important things.
"…Tomorrow, and I'll definitely be back."
Yuuki slung the scroll on his back, and he picked up the backpack, which had been placed in the corner of the wall, and he opened it and checked the Wave-Breaking Blade, which had been stored inside, and then he slung it on his shoulder, and he was carrying the Explosion Clay Bird, which was a Flying Thunder God mark, and the pouch, which had the Flying Thunder God kunai and the Spear of Heaven marked on it, across his body.
He stroked Ueno Shune's head, who was on the side, after confirming that there wasn't anything wrong, and he said, "You have to sleep well."
"Mm, and I've already grown up, so, older brother doesn't need to worry about me."
Ueno Shune nodded, and she looked at Yuuki's smiling face, which was full of gratification, and older brother and Shura had left in an instant as scarlet cursed energy had wrapped around Shura.
Older brother… was a very strong person, and he was also very responsible…
"Let's watch TV together, and my main body will be summoned if Yuuki has any problems."
The Slug Sage on the wall opened his mouth and said.
...
"Master, are there strong enemies?"
Shura, who was standing on the Golden Eagle, said with an excited expression.
"Mm, and there are indeed strong enemies, but it'll still take a bit of time to hurry over, and it's somewhat far."
Yuuki opened the map and glanced at the distance, and he estimated that it would take about an hour, and he turned his head and dialed Diablo's phone, who was out, and he told him about this matter to have him evacuate the crowd ahead of time, and they couldn't be in the center of the Barrier even if they were all squeezed at the edge of the Barrier, or else he wasn't sure just how many people would die when they started to fight in a bit.
Non-sorcerers would die in an instant if they were even slightly affected by the battle between Special Grades.
This wasn't a fairy tale world, and the people, who had been born in this world, had to be prepared to die mysteriously at any time, and it was the same even for him…
The diversity of techniques, and did techniques, which possessed so-called immortality, exist in this world?
They definitely existed, but they just hadn't been born yet, and Tengen's technique was immortality, but it wasn't truly "immortal", and he had only found out about this after he had become a Special Grade sorcerer;
The so-called immortality was just immortality on the level of techniques, and the body would still age with the passage of time, and a body, which was aging all the time, would ultimately die under normal circumstances, but his immortality technique had him live instinctively, and it would even violate the main body's will and forcibly evolve the body until it had arrived at the level of immortality.
This kind of evolution would cause Tengen to be forced to evolve into a creature that was similar to a "cursed spirit", and after all, only the body of a cursed spirit could conform to that immortality requirement.
And Tengen was maintaining the operation of the Barriers throughout Japan, and he was an existence that was the lifeline of the jujutsu world in Japan, and in order to guard against this kind of situation from happening, people, who conformed to the requirements - the Star Plasma Vessel, would be assimilated with Tengen every five hundred years to reset the information of his body.
But the most recent assimilation seemed to have failed, and only the heavens knew what kind of existence Tengen was at this moment, a human? A cursed spirit? Or was he in between the two?
Techniques possessed endless possibilities, and he might suddenly die one day, but the possibility wasn't big, and after all, his strength was displayed here, and he could only suddenly die if that person's strength was stronger than his, and they committed suicide.
...
[20:14]
Tokyo Metro, Shibuya Station, near Exit 13.
Kiyotaka Ijichi was explaining the matters inside the Barrier to Kento Nanami and Takuma Ino, who had hurried over, as well as Megumi Fushiguro, who just happened to be nearby, and after all, it was Halloween today, and the people from Jujutsu High had gone out to play, and they could only have the sorcerers, who were nearby, go in the event of an emergency.
Kento Nanami was listening with a serious expression, and Takuma Ino was looking at Megumi Fushiguro, who was also a Grade 2 sorcerer, but was still going to school, and he put on the appearance of a senior right away and opened his mouth and said, "Fushiguro, Fushiguro.
I'm telling you oh, the Barrier… or in other words, the barrier, and the fundamental of the conditions for its effectiveness to be supplemented is things that are related to cursed energy.
To put it simply, it's people, cursed spirits, and cursed objects.
So the fact that the signal is being blocked is a secondary effect that the Barrier is bringing about after it has been cast, and the Barrier's barrier technique doesn't contain the option of whether it should block the signal or not."
"…Oh, and I know this."
Megumi Fushiguro had a speechless expression, and every jujutsu sorcerer should know this, right?
"Ino, that person is very excellent. He's already in the process of being evaluated to be promoted to Grade 1 sorcerer, and you don't need to always put on the appearance of a senior and act like you're old and experienced."
Kento Nanami, who was on the side, had finished speaking, and he continued to look at Kiyotaka Ijichi, and he asked, "And then? Where is Gojo-san?"
"...I don't know."
Kiyotaka Ijichi turned his head and looked at the streets in the distance, and Junpei Yoshino was guiding some passersby, who were approaching, there and was having them stay away from here.
At the same time;
Shibuya Mark City Restaurant Avenue Entrance (Outside the "Barrier").
Akari Nitta was looking at Yuuji Itadori, Nobara Kugisaki, and Mafuyu Himura, who had hurried over, and she waved her hand and said, "Here!"
"What's going on? Nitta-san?"
Nobara Kugisaki, who didn't understand what was going on, but had sensed that something big had happened, was surveying the empty streets, and she said with disbelief, "There's actually not a single person at the intersection before the station!? And this is Halloween Shibuya!!"
"It seems that something has already happened there. Everyone scattered and fled and came to the edge of the Barrier, and everyone was saying the same sentence…"
Akari Nitta, who was standing by, opened her mouth and said, "Bring Gojo Satoru here."
The three were startled, and after all, how could non-sorcerers know him!!
Yuuji Itadori asked with confusion, "Can't you destroy the Barrier since non-sorcerers are being trapped inside the Barrier?"
"It's difficult to do."
Akari Nitta explained, "It's because the Barrier itself doesn't reject sorcerers from entering and exiting. So we can't attack the main body of the Barrier. It's faster to find and resolve the curse user, who cast the Barrier, instead."
"Then our mission is to assist in resolving this matter?"
Mafuyu Himura asked with confusion.
"That's not it!! You should please stay in place and wait for orders!!"
A figure had charged over before Akari Nitta could finish speaking, and he had plunged into the Barrier in an instant, and he was so fast that people had almost been unable to see who it was clearly.
"...That just now was Yuuki-senpai's butler, right?"
Nobara Kugisaki swept back her hair, which had been scattered by the wind, and the two on the side nodded, and Akari Nitta had only seen an afterimage…
Diablo, who had charged into the Barrier, shouted, "Everyone should focus their attention on me! I'm announcing something…"
At the same time;
JR Shibuya Station, New South Exit (Outside the "Barrier").
"They've deployed a high-level barrier technique, and they're also specifying that Gojo Satoru should come. It should be the same group of people, who attacked the exchange event."
Atsuya Kusakabe was walking at the very front while holding a lollipop in his mouth, and Panda and Toge Inumaki were following behind him; "The higher-ups have decided to have Gojo Satoru quell the disturbance in Shibuya alone to minimize the losses."
"The losses that you're minimizing are the casualties of the sorcerers, right? And the lives of ordinary people don't matter?"
Panda also knew what the higher-ups were doing, and he still said it out loud, and after all, their usual mission was to protect non-sorcerers as much as possible, and his "father", Yaga Masamichi, had also said this.
"That's right, and you shouldn't get excited first. This time is different from the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons from last year, and things have already happened." Atsuya Kusakabe said:
"I also think that this is the best method. And I went to take a look at the inside of the Barrier just now, and it's truly a peaceful scene.
Although most people have fallen into panic, there aren't any cursed spirits or curse users killing people, so the current situation is just that many ordinary citizens have been locked up.
But, to tell you the truth, I won't be going in again."
"Why?!"
Panda and Toge Inumaki had confused expressions, and they were looking at Atsuya Kusakabe, who was scratching his head and cheeks and had a pensive expression, and it seemed that there was something inside that was scaring him.
"It should be the Shibuya Hikarie building, right?"
Atsuya Kusakabe said with contemplation, "It's estimated that many Special Grade cursed spirits have gathered in the basement of that building."
!!
A group of people were banging on the Barrier, and they were shouting about why they couldn't get out! And some people were wondering who this Gojo Satoru was in the end? And why were so many people shouting for him to come in?
A person, who had his hair slicked back, said while sweating, "Didn't you guys see it just now? They were all sucked away!
A huge group of people had been at the intersection, and they had all been sucked into the station!! It was like the water in a bathtub being drained after the drain plug had been pulled out! Or else we would have already taken the subway back!!"
"You should be able to understand if you think about it, right!? You dunce!!"
