Misunderstanding

Seeing Maki and Kimihito getting ready to fight, Panda immediately called her softly, "Maki! Maki! Come here!"

"I'm getting ready here! Panda, you should also get ready."

Maki was ready to fight, but she became confused because Panda suddenly called her. She didn't understand why Panda bothered her when she started fighting. However, she believes Panda has his reasons for doing so, and It made her feel something was off.

"Have you forgotten?"

"What are you talking about?" Maki asked with a little confused expression.

"Take a good look at that girl's head," Panda said, pointing his panda finger at Yuuna's head.

"Urgh... Why have you been silent all this time?!" Maki immediately realized and became stiff.

She can see something like a triangular-shaped white cloth and has what appears to be a blue wisp over her head. These two things make a clear distinction between ghosts and other supernatural beings. It's like a physical trait for them.

"Didn't Satoru already tell us?" Panda said casually.

"Now I look like a heartless, cold-blooded demon!"

"That's exactly what you look like," Panda muttered.

"Salmon"

"You should have made me feel like I realized it!"

"You should be kinder to old people."

After hearing Panda's words, Kimihito thought, 'Am I that old?'

Kimihito didn't want to be thought of as an old man who wished someone younger than him to give him manners. Besides that, he is still in his 20s, so it could be said that he was still a young man.

Kimihito had been beside them since earlier, listened to what they were talking about. Seeing the interaction between the three of them, it seemed Kimihito understood what was going on here.

"Looks like this was all a misunderstanding, right?" He concludes.

"Right... Please forgive Maki, she does look scary, but she didn't mean it like that." Panda said, apologizing to him.

"It's all just a misunderstanding, and she hasn't done anything either."

Kimihito believed that Maki didn't mean to hurt Yuuna at all. It was just her wariness of a supernatural being called 'Cursed Spirit' that caused the misunderstanding just now. So, in the end, it was all a misunderstanding, and he understood that.

"By the way, are you really a panda? I was curious from the moment you entered the shop."

"Hm?! Of course, I'm a panda. You can check."

Not only Kimihito but Yuuna was also curious about the authenticity of the panda in front of her. She began to float closer to Panda and took a closer look. Once satisfied to see, she also wrote down her opinion.

{Whoa! He is a real panda Kimihito!}

"That seems to be the case..."

"And… You guys look like high school students." Kimihito said, looking at Maki and the young man wearing the same clothes.

Since they were wearing the same uniform, he wondered if they were some supernatural research club at some school. It would be strange if normal humans went to buy magic equipment.

However, Kimihito forgot that he was also a normal human.

"The three of us are first-year Tokyo jujutsu high school students," Panda replied.

'This panda is also a high school student?' He thought, couldn't believe that a panda was following a lesson in class.

"Jujutsu?"

"In short, they are sorcerers who use cursed energy to eradicate cursed spirits."

When Maki heard their conversation, it made her a bit worried, "Is it okay to tell them, Panda?"

"What's wrong, Maki? Are you worried?"

"Absolutely not."

"..."

Seeing Maki taking issue with Panda made him think about what Jujutsu meant and why Panda shouldn't tell him that. For some reason, the behavior of his brain that always concludes or predicts the most reasonable possibilities in all situations around him sometimes irritates him. Sometimes he will jump to conclusions from the end of the news, story, or drama, preventing him from enjoying it. He had tried to break his 'calculation' habit, but it seemed his mind was faster than his will.

Kimihito only guessed roughly the origin of one of his abilities from a habit he had been doing since he was born in this world. He was a person who was reincarnated in this world while still carrying his memories from the world he had previously lived in. Because when he was still a baby, he couldn't be free to do anything besides his physical weakness, he spent his time just thinking because that was the only way to get rid of his boredom. Unbeknownst to him, this habit has been carried out until now, making it very difficult to get rid of it because it has become a part of him.

"I see, I understand." But sometimes, he is also grateful to have a quick understanding mind.

"Hmm? did you know?"

"No, I can only conclude a few things."

"What are you talking about?" Maki asked.

"I think... Jujutsu sorcerers can be considered types of mages like fire mages that use fire attack techniques or water mages that use water-based attack techniques. A jujutsu sorcerer is a magician who uses a cursed energy technique resulting from manipulating the cursed energy to create a cursed energy-based technique eventually, and it is used to attack the cursed spirit."

"Judging from the girl named Maki, it seems things about Jujutsu are a secret to ordinary people. I believe that ordinary people can't see cursed spirits. I also think that the weakness of cursed spirits is cursed energy. That's why there are people who can manipulate cursed energy, Jujutsu Sorcerer."

Kimihito is also curious about jujutsu sorcerers. He wants to know more about them, such as; whether everyone can become a jujutsu sorcerer, how a jujutsu technique is created, do they have any cursed weapons, and especially things about cursed energies.

"..." X3 Meanwhile, the three of them were surprised by Kimihito's explanation.

"Are you sure you're not a Jujutsu sorcerer?" Maki asked with an expression of disbelief.

"I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't even see ghosts."

Of course, the three still couldn't believe his words, especially Maki. She looked Kimihito up and down sharply. No matter how hard she judged his appearance, he only looked like an ordinary young man in his 20s. But she also could see that he had a good body shape. Even though he covered it with long sleeves, she could see it clearly without any problems.

'He looks normal.' she thought.

When Kimihito was stared up and down by Maki intensely, he felt a little confused. It's rare for a girl to see him constantly. Moreover, he thinks that Maki is one of the cutest girls he's ever met, even though her personality is a bit unique to girls in general.

"But, how do you become friends with a ghost?"

"Yuuna? Well… You could say it was a coincidence."

"Kimihito and I happen to live in the same room." Said Yuuna to Maki.

"W-What?!"

That's surprising for Maki. She has zero experience of romance or even anything romantic. She couldn't imagine how Yuuna, with such a beautiful face and seductive body, could live together with a man, even in the same room. It surprised her.

Kimihito saw Maki was surprising to be confused. He guessed it seemed like she was talking to Yuuna. But being unable to listen to their conversation, he decided to leave the two of them for a chat between girls.

"Hmm? What's up, Panda? Oh… Can I call you that?"

"Come to think of it. We haven't introduced ourselves since just now."

"Ah, you're right. I'm Kimihito Kurusu, just call me Kimihito."

"Hum, I'm Panda, and he's Toge Inumaki. For some reason, he can't say normal words, but he's a good person." Said Panda while introducing Toge beside him.

"Salmon," Toge said while making a peace sign.

For some reason, Toge could only say food words. Kimihito himself was also not too curious and asked because it might be his secret, and he also didn't want his secret to be exposed by others.

"And the one over there-"

"Maki, just call me Maki," She said, interrupting Panda.

Actually, Maki has a surname, but she prefers it if other people call her name directly. Not because her surname was difficult to pronounce or she was from a secret family, but because she hated it so much. Panda and Toge also know why Maki hates her own family.

Clack

"I found it, Kimihito-san! And also-"

"Ah, customer?! Welcome."

When Wiz just came out of the warehouse, she was surprised that there were other people besides Kimihito and Yuuna, not just one but three. She couldn't believe people were starting to come to her shop. That's because it was usually infrequent to see anyone entering or even buying something in her shop.

"You're back, Wiz. Is that item still available?" Kimihito asked.

"Um, I still have a lot of this stuff."

{Kimihito... With this, finally...} Yuuna was relieved when she heard that because, with the tool, Kimihito finally could see her ghost form.

"Ano... Is there anything I can help with?" Wiz asked Panda and the others.

Hearing Wiz's question, Maki said, "I'm looking for three spirit-detecting glasses."

"Is anything else needed?"

"Just that."

"Please wait a moment." Said Wiz, then she immediately went back to the warehouse to pick up the same thing she took just now.

Meanwhile, when Kimihito heard Maki's request, he asked, "You need that much, Maki?"

"That's just in case it breaks again."

"Do Jujutsu sorcerers need that?"

"No, it's for me." She said.

"Hm? Why?"

Sometimes, a clear answer even made Kimihito unsure of it. He could conclude that Maki couldn't see through supernatural beings but was still looking for other possibilities. "I can't see the cursed spirits. Besides, I can't use cursed energy either. That's funny, right. Someone like that becomes a Jujutsu sorcerer."

"I don't think so."

"Ha?!"

"I think you're really cool."

"I-I don't need your words!"

That's right, someone who crosses her limit. Kimihito thinks conditions like Maki's are pretty cool. Like a runner who has no legs, someone who wants to go on an adventure in the ocean but can't swim, or someone who everyone hates but wants to be a hero. Such people certainly work harder than others do. And in the end, they all achieved what they desired. It wouldn't be wrong if he said it was a cool thing.

'This...' Panda seemed to see something between Maki and Kimihito.

Even though he looks like a panda, Panda is not an average panda. Panda is the smartest of the three of them, and he has a strong intuition. And when he saw the conversation between them, his instinct said something…

"Kimihito! Come here! Hurry up!"

"What's wrong, Panda?" Asked Kimihito when suddenly called by Panda.

"I have a very serious question!" Even though Panda looks serious, he still looks like a panda, again a panda.

"Hmm?"

"Do you like the small or the big?"

"What do you mean, Panda?"

"Oppai."

"..." He was speechless after hearing Panda's sudden question.

Kimihito did not understand Panda's way of thinking at all. He couldn't believe how Panda could suddenly ask 'that' question at this time and situation. Right now, his mind was already filled with confusion.

'Why do you suddenly ask that?' He thought, confused.

"You don't need to think about it. Just answer it!" Panda said, forcing Kimihito to answer his question.

"Well… I…"
