Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 193: The Five-Tailed Mistman Makes His Debut

Chapter 193 Gojo Kirito Makes a Grand Appearance (Part 2)

Only important figures from Kyoto possess extraordinary abilities, because they are descendants of nobles. Nobles are born with special abilities, unlike the poor and destitute people like them.

This has always been the version of events they've heard.

There is a world of difference between nobles and commoners.

Su Wu, who was pretending to be unconscious but actually resting with his eyes closed, couldn't understand why the couple kept assuming he was from Kyoto.

Even if he knew what the couple was thinking, he would only scoff dismissively.

The neon-like notion of superiority based on aristocratic lineage doesn't quite apply to gardening.

After all, what the Chinese people are best at is... shouting "Brothers, are kings and nobles born with special privileges? The emperor's throne rotates, next year it's my turn!" while simultaneously pulling people together to overturn the table and rebel...

On the morning of the fourth day, Su Wu's stiff body finally regained sensation, which meant that he could move and no longer needed to lie down!

To be honest, the couple initially just let him lie on the ground. Later, they probably had a change of heart and put a blanket under him, but it was still rock hard. It felt like the living conditions were even worse than in Meteor City in the Hunter x Hunter world...

The only advantage is that it doesn't smell like Meteor City.

He stood up the moment he regained his mobility.

My husband, who used to look sickly, seems to be in much better shape today. He's not coughing or wheezing anymore, and his complexion looks much rosier.

He had clearly figured it out: he hadn't been sick before, but had been possessed by a monster. No wonder no matter how much medicine he took, it hadn't worked.

Seeing that his savior had finally woken up, he thought of thanking him in person.

"Thank you, sir..." He had barely finished speaking when he was interrupted by the white-haired boy.

"Where is this?" The white-haired boy looked at the low house, clicked his tongue, sat down, crossed one leg and bent the other.

The house is so low, you can touch the roof with your head when you stand up, and you have to bend over to go out.

The man in front of them looked to be only about 1.6 meters tall, and the woman looked to be less than 1.5 meters tall, hmm...

It's very neon-colored, which fits the traditional stereotype.

"This is Odagiri Castle..." The man stepped down and introduced the castle with trepidation.

A place I've never heard of... Did such a place really exist in Japanese history? Oh, and there were no cursed spirits or sorcerers in Japanese history either.

It's all in the world of anime and manga, so I can understand.

"Hiss..." Su Wu rubbed her temples, looking somewhat troubled.

The man, afraid of upsetting this important person, carefully held his breath.

"System, where's the mission?" Su Wu asked inwardly.

The timeline is all wrong, what is he doing here?

"Under planning." The system's response was extremely indifferent.

"If the world consciousness in the Hunter world is so vengeful, there must be a world consciousness here too, right? If I mess up the main storyline again, will this thing pop up and kick me again?" Su Wu asked inwardly, a smirk on her face.

He didn't want to experience that terrible situation, like chasing a dog, again.

[Main quest planning complete—]

[Task 1: Please strive to become stronger, maximize the compatibility, and transform the character's skills into your own unique skills.]

[Mission Two: Kill the World Consciousness.]

The system notification sounded extremely cold.

Su Wu was speechless for a moment.

Has the system forgotten its past experience of being chased by the world consciousness of the Hunter world? Kill the world consciousness? Seriously?

Who will kill? I will.

I don't know whether to criticize the system for being so imaginative or to thank the system for trusting him.

What exactly is world consciousness? It's uncertain whether it even has a physical form, and it's unclear whether conventional methods can kill it. It seems very troublesome...

Turning a character's skills into their own unique skills is also a headache-inducing task.

I was just being nosy by asking that question, haha.

"Sir...? May I ask your name..." The man, who hadn't heard the boy speak for a while, asked nervously.

"..." Su Wu fell into deep thought.

Since it's a cursed return world, it's reasonable for him to impersonate the surname of one of the three starter families, right?

But being mistaken for a Japanese person is still a bit much...

During the Heian period, the land of China should be... the Tang Dynasty?

But the style of the name seems a bit off, doesn't it?

Zen Temple Mist? Gojo Mist? Kamo Mist? Which one sounds better...?

This seems like something that doesn't need to be worried about.

"Gojo Kiri." Su Wu raised the corners of her mouth, mischievously coming up with a pseudonym for herself.

Only those from China can understand this: "Mist" and "Enlightenment" are homophones. Five "Mist" and five "Enlightenment" sound exactly the same, and when shouted out, they are indistinguishable.

However, it's different when used in other languages.

Fog is kiri, enlightenment is satoru.

"Gotō...?" The man seemed to have heard of this surname before, and his posture became even more respectful.

This attitude... Could it be that at this time, there were already so-called "Big Three" families?

Oh wait, this is the Heian period, and it seems that ordinary people in Japan during this era... don't have surnames.

Those with surnames are all nobles, because they are mostly surnames bestowed by the Emperor. So... this guy in front of me is probably not being respectful because he has heard of Gojo, but because he has a surname.

"How do I get to Kyoto?" Su Wu asked slowly.

If I'm not mistaken, the noble families like the three great families are all in Kyoto, where interesting things are probably more likely to happen.

"This..." The man lowered his head.

For someone who has never left the place of their birth, how can they travel to a city full of nobles?

"..." Su Wu sighed sadly.

Forget it, why make things difficult for this guy? He can just find his own way and treat it as a casual stroll to clear his head.

"I'm leaving. Oh, right..." Su Wu stood up, touched herself before leaving, and left the two earrings she was wearing with the other person.

These are genuine silver and ruby ​​earrings, and the craftsmanship is quite exquisite. I bought them in the Hunter World, and they cost me several million gold.

These pieces of jewelry are usually meant to match his clothes, but he typically only wears his clothes once.

He hasn't changed his clothes in the past few days since he couldn't move, so you could say these earrings are the ones he's worn the longest.

I won't wear it a second time; it's a waste to make use of it.

"Consider it payment for lodging." He tossed the earring aside and walked out of the house.

The woman pulled him out of the sea, but he helped kill a cursed spirit, so they were even.

They provided him with a place to stay for three days, and it was reasonable for them to pay for the accommodation.

"This is too precious, sir..." The man looked at the sparkling gemstone earrings, and was even hesitant to touch them, afraid of dirtying them. He hurriedly tried to call out to the boy, but found that the boy had already disappeared from sight.

The first thing Su Wu did after leaving the house was to find a place and summon Maro and Kong.

"My lord?!" Maro and Sora, who had just been summoned and were still confused about the situation, had memories of the Dark Continent and couldn't understand how they had suddenly appeared in an unfamiliar place.

But when she saw the familiar boy's figure, she immediately felt at ease.

"I want to take a shower," Su Wu said to herself, her brows furrowed.

I couldn't stand not changing my clothes for three or four days, especially since I hadn't even gone all out yet. I had even soaked in the sea before, and there were salt crystals on my clothes.

He felt like a salted fish that had been thoroughly marinated.

"...I'll prepare it for you right away!" Maro stopped himself from asking any more questions and immediately said.

Serving adults should always be the top priority, no matter what.

After three or four days, Su Wu finally took a hot shower. She scrubbed herself so hard she felt like she was peeling off a layer of skin. She washed herself three times until she only smelled of shower gel.

The clothes she took off were burned, and she was put on a new outfit that matched the ancient style, but looked more like Hanfu than a kimono.

The outfit features a Chinese-style stand-up collar with Chinese knot buttons, a wide-sleeved outer garment, a predominantly black and red color scheme, embroidered with red flowers, and a jade pendant hanging at the waist. It looks incredibly stylish from every angle.

Wearing this in the Hunter x Hunter world might be a bit over the top, but in this world... well, it's still a bit over the top.

Su Wu looked at the simply dressed people she encountered along the way, and raised her chin even higher.

Who is the most handsome man in all of Japan? It's him.

"Where...is this place?" Maro frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.

This backward style is very similar to NGL, but... compared to NGL, which uses horses as a means of transportation, this place seems to be more backward and more... poor.

"I don't know," Su Wu replied casually.

"It seems something unexpected happened; we've arrived in another world," he simply explained.

However, having witnessed the various bizarre abilities in the Hunter world, Maro and Sora would find their own suitable reasons.

Especially considering that they were in such a strange place as the Dark Continent before they crossed over.

"Could it be that we triggered some rule, or some condition for some ability, and were transported to another world?" Maro speculated.

"Maybe." Su Wu shrugged.

"So what should we do now?" Maro asked with some concern.

He didn't have any attachment to his original world; as long as the adults were around, he didn't care where he went.

"Just treat this as a vacation, walk around and take a look," Su Wu yawned.

To be honest, the scenery on this side of Japan is actually... not that great.

Weak cursed spirits are everywhere, and they are all at a level that will not cause any harm to humans even if they are not killed.

Occasionally, you can even see some... monsters.

"Help! Help!"

Su Wu narrowed her eyes as she looked at the thing on the side path, its voice hoarse and weak as it cried for help.

It is about one meter long, has a Mediterranean hairstyle, is entirely green, and is neither human nor inhuman; it is quite lewd.

That thing... looks like a kappa?

Su Wu slowly stepped forward and poured some water on the kappa.

The kappa, which seemed to be dying of thirst, came back to life immediately after being splashed with water.

"Waaah... You're such a kind person, I'll definitely repay you..." the kappa cried in a high-pitched voice.

So Su Wu stretched out her hand. "Treasure."

The kappa was stunned.

"If you save a monster, it will offer up its treasured possessions. Isn't that a well-known rule?" Su Wu said confidently.

Some monsters would even offer themselves in return, but usually it's fox spirits or snake spirits; as for kappa, forget it, there's no market for that kind of thing.

"But...but...I don't have any treasures..." The penniless kappa wrung his hands awkwardly.

"Tch." The white-haired boy stood up, turned around and left without saying a word.

Even his back view exuded disdain.

The kappa stood frozen in place, inexplicably feeling as if its soul had been severely wounded.

"Next time you encounter a kappa, there's no need to save it; they're poor." Su Wu silently memorized this information.

However, there was one thing he didn't quite understand.

This should be the Cursed Return World, right? The system here is about cursed spirits and sorcerers, right? How come there are monsters here?

Since there are yokai, there must also be onmyoji... haha... haha...

The Heian period... Heian-kyo... Abe no Seimei?!

Could there really be an Abe no Seimei? Wouldn't he be taking photos with him and collecting them like stamps?

He's Japan's number one Onmyoji, and he's even a well-known NPC in many novels and games.

Of course, first he needs to find the way to Kyoto...

Su Wu stopped in her tracks, took a deep breath, and decided to ask a hapless... well, a lucky one for directions.

Using my six eyes to sense things, I found the place with the most people gathered nearby and just happened to catch an event.

A woman dressed in a gaudy kimono, her limbs bound with hemp rope and her mouth stuffed with white cloth, was carried by four strong but short men as they walked into the mountains.

Su Wu realized that this was a sacrificial ceremony. After all, in ancient times, human sacrifice was very common, for river gods, mountain gods, sea gods, and the like.

Ignorant fool... no, that's not right either.

These kinds of strange things probably really do exist in this world.

However, Su Wu prefers to call them demons rather than gods.

Not just any random thing can be called a god when it comes to growing flowers.

If he were a hero, he would have stepped forward to stop the ignorant villagers and save the beautiful woman.

But firstly, Su Wu isn't a hero, and secondly... that girl isn't a beauty, at least not in the conventional sense.

His face was probably covered in lead powder, making him frighteningly white. His eyebrows and teeth were blackened, and with a layer of blush, he looked like a paper figure at a funeral.

No matter how hard Su Wu tried to deny it, she couldn't say that she was a beautiful woman.

But that had nothing to do with him; he was just asking for directions.

Just as the villagers were happily offering the village's pure young girl to the mountain god as his lover, a tall man with richly dressed clothes, white hair, and red eyes walked out from the roadside.

Behind them followed a ferocious beast about six meters long, and a blond-haired, blue-eyed follower.

Their attire and demeanor clearly indicate that they are not people they can afford to offend.

"Does anyone know how to get to Kyoto?" the adult, whom they couldn't afford to offend, asked.

The villagers looked at each other, speechless.

"..." Su Wu shook her head.

Okay, maybe we shouldn't target ordinary people, but should change our target.

"For example... which way to go to the nearby cities?" he asked again.

Even a city lord is usually a minor nobleman, so he would at least know the way to Kyoto.

Just go ask the city lord.

"The nearest city is over there, it's about a five-hour walk..." the villager said, pointing in a direction with a fawning smile.

Five hours, that's pretty close.

Using Cang's words would be even faster. With his current physical condition, even if he bumps into something on the road, he won't be hurt. Oh, and if he's driving without any limits, he's even less likely to be hurt.

Su Wu nodded and was about to leave when an old woman rushed up and knelt down in front of him with a thud.

"grown ups……"

"Please... save my daughter." She cried pitifully, but never dared to reach out and grab the hem of the person in front of her.
