Playing house in the anime world

Chapter 244 Akashi-kun's Determination

After a busy day, Aiko Gojo lay in her newly renovated room reading a book.

She seldom goes to the library to read now, because her family has bought a lot of books, and many are given by others, filling up several large bookcases. Although many of them are books she has read before, reading the same book again at different ages will give her different experiences.

Not many people actually know that Aiko Gojo loves reading, only those around her know about it.

But if you ask around a little, you'll find out this interest is actually quite easy to find out.

After all, she spent every day in the library when she was in elementary school, and there were books everywhere in her house. There were even a few books in the kendo hall that she had forgotten to put away.

Plus, the books she read are usually world classics from various countries, and they are not children's versions, so with a little thought you can tell that she probably loves reading.

There were many books in the thank-you gift that Akashi Seijuro and Atobe Keigo gave to Gojo Aiko, and they all happened to be books she had never read. I don't know how they did it.

Many of them are special customized editions or collector's editions. Some of the authors are still alive and even have the authors' signatures.

However, compared to the good-looking appearance, Aiko Gojo pays more attention to the level of translation. Only an excellent translator can translate the true soul of the original work.

Of course, if conditions permit, it would be very interesting to learn a foreign language directly, read the original foreign language works yourself, and then compare them with the translated Chinese version.

The sets given by Akashi Seijuro are very classic translated versions, which are considered to be the most accepted and widely circulated versions by the public. However, what he gave was not an ordinary version, but a collector's edition, which had some beautifully bound covers and decorations.

The sets of books given by Atobe Keigo were not the most widely circulated translated versions on the market, and the books he gave were not the most famous masterpieces, but relatively niche ones. However, they were all selected as fine products, and the covers were very gorgeous. They can be collected as heirlooms.

Aiko Gojo even suspected that the beautiful big gem on the cover might be real...

The difference in style between the two people is very obvious and also fits their personalities.

Just when Gojo Aiko was examining the gem on the book given by Atobe Keigo to see whether it was a real gem or a fake, Akashi Seijuro actually called her.

"Akagi-kun?" Gojo Aiko was a little surprised. Although she had added Akashi Seijuro's contact information a long time ago, the two of them rarely communicated with each other. They would usually chat for a few words when there were matters concerning the basketball club that needed to be conveyed or explained.

"Good evening, Gojo-san. I'm very sorry to contact you so late. Are you ready to rest?" Akashi Seijuro was sitting in the study, with the desk in front of him full of documents.

Aiko Gojo looked at the time. It was only eight o'clock in the evening, which was actually not very late.

"Good evening, what's up? I still have two hours before I go to bed." Gojo Aiko guessed that Akashi Seijuro had something important to tell her, otherwise he would have just sent a message and there would be no need to call.

"Then I'll make it short. Regarding the matter of Mimiko and Nanako, the preliminary interrogation report has come out, but it has not yet been given to Mr. Geta and his team to review. Because this incident was not a collaboration with the Jujutsu world, but an independent criminal incident, there are some slightly controversial details in the handling of it."

Akashi Seijuro had just finished a phone call with Atobe Keigo. They were jointly responsible for this incident. Both sides had connections in the police force, and there was nothing to dispute about such a crime with solid evidence. They just sped up the execution of certain procedures.

However, since ordinary people are unaware of the existence of sorcerers and cursed spirits, other words need to be used to replace the relevant details.

For example, Mimiko and Nanako were regarded as monsters because they could see cursed spirits, but the public had no idea that cursed spirits existed, so the villagers actually thought that the two of them could see creatures similar to the legendary monsters. That's why their confessions also stated that they believed the two of them could see strange things, and that they must be of the same kind, so that's why they could see things, etc.

As for things like monsters, the public also believes that they do not exist.

So this case is about villagers in a remote village who believed that the orphan twin sisters in the village could see unclean things, so they thought they were monsters and deliberately hurt and murdered the sisters. They even took the initiative to look for exorcists, onmyojis, and shrine maidens to kill them, but the evil deed was exposed and reported by the sorcerer they found.

Moreover, there are hundreds of villagers in the village, but after interrogating them one by one, it is definitely impossible for so many to be convicted. Some marginal figures do not know what happened, and some are simply bystanders. Legally, they cannot be convicted.

They didn't have the time to discuss these things with Geto Suguru because he was busy raising the children. He only cooperated in taking Mimiko and Nanako to the hospital to check their injuries at the beginning.

After hearing all this, Aiko Gojo didn't know what to do.

What Akashi Seijuro meant was, should they continue to keep the matter of cursed spirits and sorcerers a secret, or should they take the opportunity to slowly expose it to the public?

"The special handling department has not been established yet, so it is unlikely to expose the truth now, unless this case is dragged on until the special department is formally established, and then this case is used as the first very important project of the special handling department..." Gojo Aiko felt that it was impossible to make the existence of cursed spirits and sorcerers public in a short period of time, and she had to take it slowly.

For example, first recruit some staff who have come into contact with cursed spirits and sorcerers but are ordinary people to join the special processing department, and then train some non-sorcerer sorcerers. But in that case, you have to first research cursed tools that ordinary people can use, and the glasses that allow non-sorcerers to see cursed spirits also need to be able to be mass-produced.

And all of these need to be done slowly. After all, their only technical support now comes from the Gojo family and the Jujutsu High School, and scientific research takes time, and no one knows how long this time will take.

"That's true. We should really ask Mr. Getsuyu's opinion." Akashi Seijuro had the same idea as Gojo Aiko.

Although he was involved in the handling of this case, he was not involved in matters related to the special handling department because he was still a student and his focus needed to be on studying.

But because the sorcerer is very important and the special handling department is also very important, both families accepted the request for help from Geto Suguru very enthusiastically, and even pushed the heirs of both families out to handle the matter, so that they could establish some good relationships with Geto Suguru.

Compared to Atobe Keigo, who is very interested in the world of sorcery and even tries to get in touch with it himself, Akashi Seijuro actually has some little thoughts of his own.

Although he had known about the existence of sorcerers and cursed spirits a long time ago, he had never experienced them personally, so he was not clear about the lethality of cursed spirits and the situation of sorcerers.

Now that I have experienced it myself, I can’t help but have some thoughts.

Their fathers have accumulated considerable wealth and have a certain status. How can they, the heirs, carve out a place for themselves under the protection of their fathers?

He felt that the Jujutsu World and the Special Handling Department were a great opportunity.
