Kid:
Mama! Mama!!
Mother (tired, annoyed):
Yes, yes.
Just a moment, sorry.
Kid (crying):
Mama—! Come here, Mama!!
Mother (snapping):
Shut up!!
Mother (thinking to herself):
I told them it was a work call… What are you doing…?
Kid (tearing up, lost):
I don’t know…
[Scene shifts to a sorcerer collapsing with thud SFX]

Old man (charging in):
Damn it!
My prediction was off!!
Tsurugi (thinking, sweating):
Tch…!!
I wanted to quickly check Maru’s condition…
Narration Tsurugi (lower panel):
Looking at it now… everything so far has gone just as I predicted.
The only thing that was unexpected…
Page 3
Maternal Spirit Intimidation!!
Old man (attacking, sneering):
Perotsu (lick SFX)
Tsurugi (angry, glaring):
You bastard!!
Page 4
“Strong!!”
Old man (grinning, countering):
“It’s not just talk—!!
This is the real skill of a first-class jujutsu sorcerer!!”
SFX:
ズドッ (Zudo) — thud / impact
シュッ (Shu) — slash / swift motion

Page 6
Tsurugi:
Those arms…
Did you ever once think of using them for the sake of others?
Old man:
Such naïve words… are nothing but sentimentality.
If you live long enough… that sentiment rots into malice.
Tsurugi:
No matter how much you try, people will always kill each other.
That’s the fate that can never be avoided.
Old man:
But strangely enough… people still keep trying again and again.
There are even fools who cling to empty ideals.
Page 7
Flashback narration:
Hand in hand, walking under the cherry blossoms.
The numbers given to me at enrollment, used to identify myself.
The outside world that defined me through grades and evaluations.
Old man:
I loved being an elementary school student.
I always wanted to stay as a child forever.
(SFX: ミキミキ… / Miki miki… — creaking, twisting sound)
⸻
Tsurugi:
Nice.
The more you talk like that… the easier it’ll be to cut you down.
Tsurugi:
…That’s what I asked you earlier.
But strangely enough… people keep regaining their awareness, and try again and again…
That’s why—
Page 8
The origin of this incident…
was the rampage of an elderly jujutsu sorcerer suffering from cognitive decline…!?
Old man (walking away, recalling):
I really loved being an elementary school kid.
I always wanted to stay as a little kid forever.
Old man:
What people can’t notice… is the difference between what they ‘can do’ and what they actually can’t.
Tsurugi:
Now…
…I understand your feelings.
Old man:
Heh. Then let me teach you…
…the trick to keeping your sanity intact.

“Simple Domain”
“Ma-ai!!”
Old man:
This brat… he knows simple domain?
By replacing physical technique with cursed energy,
he’s gained the ability to sense distance—
a natural-born physical gift.
To apply cursed energy,
and on top of that knows simple domain… Not bad at all.
SFX:
ガチン ガチン (Gachin, gachin) — clash! clash!
Page 10
Page 11
Old man:
Only within a Simple Domain can this technique be performed…
Automatic counterattacks to anything that enters!!
Old man:
I’ll do it!!
Tsurugi:
Darker than night,
blacker than darkness itself…
Offer up that blemish as a sacrifice—
Page 12
The guy at the top left I forgor his name:
Did he get trapped—?!
Tsurugi-kun!!”
Good—!!
Tsurugi, keep pushing him until he’s neutralized!!
Go all out!!
Old man:
Checkmate!!
Tsurugi:
Too bad…
I’ve been serious this whole time!!
Fang Twist!!
Page 13
Yuuka
Need a hand?
Tsurugi:
Tch. What kind of job is it if you’ve gotta step in and help?
This is just another training ground drama.
Yuuka:
Keep your eyes on the thread and the needle.
Once you’ve seen through his transformations, there aren’t many variations.
But be careful once you lose sight of them.
Old man:
Heh—
Yuuka:
His shikigami body doesn’t move much,
but the little ones will get in your way.
Tsurugi:
…Got it.
PAGE 14-15
Page 16
Old man:
I see… You’re not the type to add up damage little by little.
You’re the kind that piles it all on in one big blow!!
Yuuka:
Haa… haa…
Tsurugi:
Yuuka?
Old man:
Are you out of breath?
Page 17
SFX: ドチュ (Dochu – stab / thrust sound)
Tsurugi:
Yuuka!!
SFX: ドサッ (Dosa – thud, body hitting the ground)
Old man:
Heh… You underestimated my transformation skill.
