The two girls currently being dragged by the adults were named Nanako and Mimiko, children who had awakened their Jujutsu abilities in this rural area.
When they awakened their Jujutsu abilities and their eyes could perceive the Cursed Spirits that ordinary people could not, the kind-hearted girls even tried to use the power awakened within them to help the villagers exorcise the Cursed Spirits.
However, this action not only failed to exorcise the Cursed Spirits and save the villagers, but instead made the villagers believe that the disturbances plaguing the village, which were caused by the Cursed Spirits, were their doing.
Monsters, wicked monsters... When Geto Suguru in the original work carried out this Jujutsu mission, he was locked in an iron cage by these ignorant villagers, dressed in rags, with bruises visible on his face.
They were huddled together, trembling in the corner of the iron cage; if they dared to speak, they would be fiercely scolded or even beaten and kicked.
A Jujutsu Sorcerer whose core philosophy was protecting the weak, non-Jujutsu Sorcerer population was instead treated as a monster by ignorant ordinary people, causing Geto Suguru's worldview to collapse.
Were non-Jujutsu Sorcerers truly the weak? Perhaps in the eyes of non-Jujutsu Sorcerers, there wasn't much difference between a Jujutsu Sorcerer and a Cursed Spirit—they were both "monsters."
Now, Chinatsu felt exactly what Geto Suguru had felt back then, but she didn't have a mental breakdown; such an imperfect world was already within her expectations.
It was just that... sure enough, even with psychological preparation, seeing Mimiko and Nanako treated this way at such close proximity still caused waves of anger to surge in her heart.
Just as Mimiko and Nanako were about to be dragged by several adults into an iron cage inside a house, Chinatsu suddenly appeared right in front of the adults, like a phantom in the eyes of bystanders.
Before they could react, Chinatsu's fist, which had not a trace of Cursed Energy attached to it, struck them in the face, causing them to spit saliva as they tumbled to the ground.
Perhaps some people, based purely on external appearances, might have thought Chinatsu was a delicate, wealthy young lady, but Chinatsu immediately shattered those external prejudices with a powerful punch.
Nanako and Mimiko stood frozen in panic, their bodies still trembling slightly; seeing this, Chinatsu smiled, crouched down, and gently reached out to stroke both their heads.
"It's alright. I am the same as you."
After Chinatsu finished speaking, a fingers extended from her retracted palm, and a small, delicate "Blue" was released from its tip.
Ordinary people cannot perceive Cursed Spirits, and similarly, ordinary people cannot perceive Jujutsu, so for the adults, they could only see Chinatsu simply extending one fingers.
Nanako and Mimiko, however, clearly saw the "Blue" released from Chinatsu's fingertip at close range, and their pupils involuntarily widened.
"Big Sister, are you a monster too..."
"A monster? No, we are Jujutsu Sorcerers."
During this brief exchange, the ignorant villagers around them continued to wildly spew crude language without any sense of propriety.
"Truly... noisy."
Chinatsu extended two fingers held together and pointed forcefully upwards; the many surrounding villagers were all affected by the "Blue" that Chinatsu had placed in the air above them, and one by one, they were forcefully dragged into the sky.
Screams of terror erupted from their mouths, but as they ascended higher, the sound grew fainter, eventually becoming no louder than the buzz of a mosquito.
Chinatsu wouldn't go so far as to kill them, like Geto Suguru, but giving them a psychological lesson was certainly not a problem.
Even if someone investigated this matter afterward, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups could not hold her accountable or judge her based on an incident of this level.
The Gojo Family would not permit it.
Her power as a Special Grade Sorcerer would not permit it either.
Nanako and Mimiko were both stunned by this sight; they also knew special moves, but a technique like this... wasn't this a divine skill?
Facing their adorable, dazed expressions, Chinatsu continued to smile and stroke their heads, gently comforting them.
"This is Jujutsu, an ability that only Jujutsu Sorcerers with a Cursed Technique can use. We Jujutsu Sorcerers are not monsters. You must understand this point and never look down on yourselves."
Chinatsu's gentle words entered their ears. After listening to the villagers' complaints for so long, they had started to develop some self-doubt.
But at this moment, such feelings instantly vanished into thin air.
Nanako and Mimiko were twin sisters, classic examples of twins. At least one of their biological parents must have possessed Jujutsu talent, but they were now gone, leaving the two girls alone in the village.
"Do you two want to come back with me?"
Hearing this, Nanako and Mimiko immediately raised their previously lowered heads, looking at Chinatsu with some shock.
"R-Really? Is that allowed..."
"Of course it is. Although I am not a god who can take care of everything, I have no problem taking care of what is within my sight."
In just a few sentences, the matter was settled. Nanako and Mimiko couldn't continue staying in the village; being young yet possessing Jujutsu talent, they needed guardianship, and Chinatsu happened to have the ability to care for them.
Chinatsu held Nanako's hand with her left and Mimiko's hand with her right, walking step by step out of the village.
As for the villagers who had been pulled into the sky by "Blue," they slowly descended more than an hour after Chinatsu left, landing safely on the ground without physical harm.
Mentally, of course, Chinatsu offered no guarantees.
Because Chinatsu was carrying out a Jujutsu mission, she relied entirely on her teleportation ability for travel and hadn't called or driven a car.
Having no choice, Chinatsu took out her phone and called a taxi, using it to return to Tokyo.
In this country, taxi fares are extremely expensive; the ride back to Tokyo cost over 30,000 yen. For this distance, the cost would probably be less than half that amount in other countries.
Nanako and Mimiko had never seen so much money and were instantly panicked. Chinatsu merely smiled lightly, indicating that they didn't need to worry about it, as simply taking a taxi wouldn't make the slightest dent in her financial reserves.
After all, years of performing high-level Jujutsu missions had accumulated vast wealth for her, combined with her status as a member of the Gojo Family, and the slight possibility of becoming the next Head of the Family in the future.
Chinatsu led the two girls out of the taxi. They originally thought Chinatsu was taking them to her residence, but instead, Chinatsu quickly led them toward a designer clothing store...
