Just A Normal Doom Scroller

Chapter 7: Yapping



"I-i-i don't know what you're talking about!" Okarun started shaking as he tried to deny what Kenji had just said.

Looking at his attempt of lying, Momo merely shook her head as her hand met her face.

A wry smile replaced Kenji's smirk as he lightly laughed at the shaking Okarun who was trying his hardest to avoid meeting his eyes.

"You suck at lying, Takakura-kun." Kenji removed his hand from Okarun's shoulder as he changed the song playing from his eyebuds to [Beneath The Mask] by Lyn.

"Well you don't have to worry about me knowing your secret, i'm not the only one anyway." Kenji said as he placed one of his hands inside his pocket.

"What do you mean by that?" Momo asked as Okarun nodded at her question, also wanting to know.

"Well, you know how your grandma is a Spirit Medium?" Momo nodded as Kenji continued.

"They are these special types of people called, Jujutsu Sorcerers. They're in charge of defending against both the Yokai, and what we call Cursed Spirits." Momo and Okarun looked at each other before Okarun asked a question.

"Cursed Spirits? What are those? Another form of Yokai?" Kenji equipped a pair of glasses as he raised his finger before explaining.

"I guess you could say that, When a human dies, they sometimes create a link to the physical world, they do that for various reasons. But the most common ones are trauma, deep attachments, or a grudge. Those, are what Yokai are." Kenji looked at the both of them before continuing.

"A Cursed Spirit however, is created with the lingering negative emotions that humans have felt, anger, sadness, pain, fear. They are mostly like the Yokai that you know, but they act more instinctively, like animals. Only the more powerful ones actually have a real consciousness."

"A yokai's power generally depends on what folklore they belong to, whilest Cursed Spirits are formed on the random with a few rare instances of them belonging to a legend. Unlike the Yokai however, Cursed Spirits can regenerate, making harder to kill than even Yokai." Kenji finished his explanation, it wasn't the best explanation, but from what little memories he still had about the lore of both lore, it was all that he could explain.

"I see, then what are Jujutsu Sorcerers?" Okarun asked.

"Hmm, in simpler terms, they're stronger spirit mediums. A spirit medium draws their power from what spirit they're contracted too. While Jujutsu Sorcerers are more versatile in that aspect. They draw on the power of Cursed Energy, the energy Cursed Spirits also thrive on. They have special powers called Cursed Techniques." Kenji pointed his finger over a decently sized finger.

"Let me show you an example, this is one of the abilities of my Cursed Technique." The pillar was suddenly slashed, as it separated to three segments the slashes parts of the pillar crashed down on the ground.

Kenji smugly presented his [Dismantle], but contrary to the reaction he was hoping for, Okarun simply pointed out that:

"Uh.. that's property damage.." Okarun pointed at the now broken pillar, with Momo now also laughing at him.

Kenji deadpanned at the two as he facepalmed, sighing he said. "I'll be paying for it don't worry."

"But I'm confused, what do you mean by these so called Jujutsu Sorcerers already knowing I have Turbo Granny's powers?" Okarun asked as he adjusted his glasses, Momo also returned to normal, but a wide smile was still present on her face.

"You don't feel it? Right now, you're exuding quite a lot of cursed energy. It's a miracle that people haven't been affected yet." Kenji was seeing a large amount of Cursed Energy flowing out of Okarun's body, while it wasn't in the leagues of someone like Yuta for example, it was still a pretty good amount of Cursed energy.

"Eh, I do? Well Ayase-san has indeed stopped containing it so maybe you're right." Okarun said as he started patting his body.

"Hm, well let's leave it at that. Just know that me knowing you're secret doesn't expose you to any sort of danger. At least now yet..." The last part Kenji had whispered low enough for Okarun and Momo not to hear.

"Why are you even telling us this? Do you have any ulterior motives you're not telling us about?" Momo asked with her hands crossed, her eyes seemed serious.

"..." Kenji deadpanned, her words not making any sense to him.

"You're not supposed to reveal ulterior motives, that's why it's an ulterior motive." He said as it was his turn to laugh at her.

"So you do?" Momo asked again.

"Of course I don't, If I did I would have already achieved it. You have two braincells, the other got lose and the other one is looking for it." Kenji said with a shrug.

"What's that supposed to mean? Do you know Okarun?" She whispered to him.

"He's calling you dumb, Ayase-san." Okarun whispered back.

"What did you say?! You squid! Crab! Tuna!" She raised her fist as she 'cursed' him out.

Kenji pulled out his phone as he felt it vibrate, he saw that the group chat had finally finished updating so he was excited.

"Well anyway, I'm just looking out for a fellow victim of the supernatural. See you guys around." He waved at the two of them as he started walking back to class.

"Seriously, what's the deal with that guy, suddenly yapping off about this cursed Spirit, and Sorcerery crap, he even called me stupid! He has some nerve!" Momo pouted as Okarun tried calming her down.

"Calm down, Ayase-san, I'm sure he didn't mean any harm. He was probably just warning us." Okarun said as he adjusted his glasses again.

"We don't need his warning, we've kicked a bunch of yokai and alien butt, we're plenty strong." Momo smugly said, her bold attitude on full display.

"Indeed, once I get the hang of controlling Turbo Granny's powers, I'm sure finding my... Family jewels would be a peace of cake." Okarun found himself confident.

"Seriously though, how did you not notice that your balls were missing?"

"Well, I am an awkward fellow, after all..." He rubbed the back of his head as he looked away from Momo.

"Kyaaa!! I told you to stop saying that!" She covered her eyes as she started fan girling again.

Their moment was ruined as a voice called out to Momo.

"Ayase Momo! I know what you are!" The both looked towards Aira, she was holding a cross pointed at Momo as she adopted a stance.

Their day was about to get a lot of hectic.

———[Chapter End]———

A/N: As the making of this chapter, I am severely sleep deprived and high out of my mind. So some things might no make any sense. I'll fix it when I get some much needed rest.

Also, world travel is near, just going to wrap up the Aira arc and then we'll start world hopping.

Any good ideas on what world MC and the gang should start with?

Also Reiko Kashima vs Sukuna, who would win? The strongest Yokai or the strongest Curse?

Next chapter will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
