The Devils of Jujutsu

Chapter 38: The 4 Diamonds part 1

(Yuji's p.o.v.)

The naked red head came running at us, saying, "Excuse me?! I'd appreciate it if you three could get these thing off my ass!" Todo shouted back, "Only if you put on some pants after!" Kamo and I both nodded in agreement. The nudist yelled, "Alright, just help me!" Kamo decided to take out the boars himself. He took out a bow and arrow that he had been carrying on his back.  The arrows he used were special, imbued with his own blood.

  Kamo's cursed technique is Blood Manipulation, it allows the user to manipulate their own blood, and objects imbued with that blood. It's a well balanced technique that is prized among the jujutsu community.

  Kamo drew the bowstring with 3 arrows in his hand, because there were three board chasing the nudist. He fired and manipulated the arrows so that they all hit the boars' eyes. They arrows went in so deep, they pierced the brains of three beasts, killing them. The naked old man stopped running and said, "Thanks guys, you saved me." Todo reached into his bag and pulled out a pair of pants. Kamo asked, "Why do you have another pair of pants, Todo?" He replied, "In case of emergencies." "Like what? You shitting yourself?" I tried my best not to laugh at that. Todo just scuffed at Kamo's remark and tossed the pants to the naked man. He puts them on and said, "Call me Zell, who are you guys?" When he first came running at us, I thought I knew who he was, but when he said, 'Zell' I knew for sure. "Oh, so you're Fanzell Kruger, the guys who trained Asta." I said and he snapped his head toward me and asked, "You know Asta?!" I replied, "Yeah, he's a good friend of ours. We even trained together." Fanzell smiled and said, "If you're friends of Asta, then your friends of mine. Come with me to my house so we can talk." The three of us nodded and followed him back to the house he was staying at.

  We reached his house, Fanzell opened the door and called out, "I'm home, Domina!" Then, around the corner, a woman with long orange hair came out and saw that he was missing his clothes. She got mad, charged forward and started wailing on Fanzell with a flurry of punches. As she punched him, she said, "You idiot! I told you to break that stripping habit, you can't run around buck naked in public!! What if children saw you?!!" As this was happening, me, Todo, and Kamo had no idea how to respond. I just rose my hand and said, "Uuuumm, sorry to interrupt your lover's quarrel, but you have guests." The woman named Domina turned her head to us and stopped beating Fanzell. "Oh, very sorry you had to see that!" She apologized as she bowed. Kamo replied, "That's alright, we've seen our fair share of awkward moments." Todo and I nodded in agreement. "Domina, these are some of Asta's friends. They helped me when I was being chased by giant boars." I had just realized some important. "Oh, right. We haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Yuji Itadori." "I'm Aoi Todo." "Noritoshi Kamo, pleasure to meet you." Then, she introduced herself, "Pleasure's mine. I'm Fanzell's wife, Dominate. What brings you to this part of the country?" Todo answered, "That's a rather long story." "Well, let's talk about it over tea." We went further inside and saw two younger women sitting at the kitchen table. One had long, wavy pink hair, and turquoise colored eyes. The other had black hair at shoulder length, pink eyes, and more endowed than the pinkette. But what stood out the most about the pink haired girl, was that there was a small centipede like cursed spirit on her right shoulder. The three of us could tell that it was harmless, thankfully, though once it saw us, it started hissing. The two women noticed this and the black haired one said, "It looks like it doesn't like them at all." "Dominate replied, "Yes, I wonder why?" Kamo asked surprised, "Wait, you three can see it?" Fanzell answered, "Not just them, I see it too. And now you can see it." Dominate asked, "Do you guys know what this is? It's been clinging to Fana's shoulder for the past two days." I answered, "Yes, we do. It's know as a cursed spirit." The girl named Fana asked, "Cursed Spirit?" We sat down and explained to them about cursed energy, cursed spirits and jujutsu sorcerers. "I see, so this thing can only be seen by people who have above average cursed energy?" Dominate asked. I replied, "That's right, and thankfully this one is a harmless weakling." "Can you get rid of it?" Todo scuffed and replied to Fanzell's question, "Child's play." He then stood up and walked up to Fana. He said to her, "Don't move." He then swiped to the side and the curse shrieked as it disappeared. She shrugged her shoulder and said, "It's gone! It's finally gone!" Kamo said, "With training, you four could do it too." They all turned their attention to him, and the black haired girl asked, "We can?" I explained, "Yeah, you all are able to see the Cursed Spirit. So, all of you have the potential to learn jujutsu." They were all surprised by what we told them, and Fana said, "By the way, you didn't tell us why you three are out here." We all realized that we forgot about that. Kamo replied, "Oh, right. We were sent to Clover Kingdom to look for an ideal location to build a base, and also anyone who is able to see curses." "Why look for such people?" The black haired girl asked a good question. I answered, "To ask if they want to become jujutsu sorcerers. The base won't just be a base, but a school to train new sorcerers." Dominate said, "So, since we all have the potential, will you ask us to become sorcerers?" Todo replied, "It's your choice, we will not force anyone to become jujutsu sorcerers against their will." Fanzell said, "Could you tell us more about the jujutsu community? I'd like to know more about it before we make our decision." I replied, "Fair enough. Alright, we'll tell you about the jujutsu world. But before that..." I turned my gaze to the black haired girl and asked, "I don't believe we got your name yet." She realized that she hadn't introduced himself yet. "Oh, sorry. My name is Mariella." "That's a pretty name for a cute girl." She blushed at my compliment. With that out of the way, me and my team began explaining the world of jujutsu sorcerers.
