Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1215: You Happy My Ass!

As the girl rushed up, she swung her fist at the boy’s head, her entire demeanor was extremely irritable.

"Think about your situation, loser!"

The cold-faced boy with black hair also spat out an insult.

"What the hell! I was just trying to save people!"

The energetic boy was visibly dissatisfied.

"Save people? Don’t get yourself killed first!"

"I’ll tell Gojo sensei after the mission, let him lecture you."

"Uwa... that’s a hassle too..."

The three teens argued amongst themselves, as if no one else were there, but their actions were not slow at all, one continued running while swinging a short sword, another summoned two large dogs with hand signs, and the other scattered nails infused with curse power, using a hammer to shoot the nails one by one, clearing away the surrounding Curse Spirits.

Watching this scene, Reiger was speechless yet amused.

"Looks like this is another joyful protagonist group."

Just like the Kamado Tanjirou trio in the Demon Slayer World, joyful and hardworking.

Thus, Reiger let go of his hand on the knife handle at his waist, folded his arms, and watched the trio’s battle like an indifferent bystander.

If it weren’t for the situation and if they weren’t facing monsters formed from negative emotions, it could have been written as a youthful passage.

After a while, all the attacking Curse Spirits were eliminated by the three teenagers.

Only then did they approach Reiger. Looking at how Reiger calmly observed everything with crossed arms, their reactions were varied.

"Hey, are you okay?"

The boy who rushed in first raised a hand to greet Reiger.

"I’m Itadori Yuji, these are my companions, Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara."

The name Fushiguro Megumi sounds like a girl’s, but it’s actually the cold-faced boy with black hair.

The name Kugisaki Nobara already sounds wild, and she is indeed wild, now standing there looking extremely annoyed, resembling a delinquent girl.

Whether it’s Fushiguro Megumi or Kugisaki Nobara, both look like hard-to-get-along-with characters.

On the contrary, Itadori Yuji, the energetic boy, would definitely have many friends in school.

As Itadori Yuji tried to approach Reiger, suddenly, his shoulders were grabbed by two hands from both sides.

"Don’t go too close."

"Are you really trying to get yourself killed?"

Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara each grabbed one of Itadori Yuji’s shoulders, one giving a soft warning, one shouting roughly.

"What’s up?"

Itadori Yuji was naturally puzzled, not knowing why his two partners suddenly acted like this.

In response, Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara spoke one after the other.

"Carefully look and see." Fushiguro Megumi stared intently at Reiger, with a stern expression: "This person is not on the list of missing persons, I haven’t seen his photo."

"Although I can’t feel any curse power, how can a normal person remain so calm upon seeing Curse Spirits?" Kugisaki Nobara also spoke with a cold face: "Plus, didn’t you notice he has a knife tied to his waist, idiot?"

With the reminders from his companions, Itadori Yuji also sensed that something was off.

They came here because of a mission.

This place was originally a juvenile detention center, a facility for corrective education of delinquent youths, but after the discovery of a curse womb, Itadori Yuji and the others were called in.

A curse womb is a Curse Spirit in the process of development.

As the curse womb appearing in the juvenile detention center was believed to have the potential to give birth to a special grade Curse Spirit, Itadori Yuji and others were sent to handle it.

However, when Itadori Yuji and the others arrived, the juvenile detention center had already collapsed, the curse womb seemed to have hatched, with a suspected special grade Curse Spirit turning the place into its domain, pulling some of the people who hadn’t evacuated in time into this different space, leading to their disappearance.

The list of missing persons had already been confirmed and delivered to Itadori Yuji and the others, though Itadori Yuji didn’t remember it, Fushiguro Megumi had memorized the information and even the appearance of those listed.

Coupled with Reiger’s overly calm demeanor and the knife on his waist, such abnormal behavior together with his absence from the list of missing persons instantly made Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara vigilant.

It was just Itadori Yuji, who hadn’t noticed anything and was about to foolishly approach Reiger, that would certainly be scolded by his companions.

"So, who are you?" Kugisaki Nobara unfriendly asked Reiger: "Don’t tell me you’re the staff here, they don’t have anyone as handsome and fair-skinned as you."

"Are you a Curse Mage?" Fushiguro Megumi asked solemnly: "Or are you... a Curse Master?"

Curse Master.

This isn’t a profession distinct from Curse Mage.

A Curse Master is also a Curse Mage, but because they use curse techniques for criminal purposes, harming others, society, and the order of the world of sorcery, they are differentiated.

In other words, the difference between a Curse Mage and a Curse Master is that one is an officially sanctioned occupation, and the other is underground and part of the criminal underworld; essentially, they’re the same, being skilled individuals capable of extracting and using curse power.

Fushiguro Megumi was suspecting whether Reiger was a Curse Master.

If Reiger was a Curse Master, was the anomaly here at the juvenile center his doing?

Both Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara had the same thought, and their gazes on Reiger grew increasingly wary, even Itadori Yuji wisely put away his smile, not daring to be so carefree anymore.

Of course, it was because he sensed the atmosphere was not right.

As for what a Curse Master is?

He had no idea at all...

In such a situation, Reiger raised his gaze, looking at the bewildered or wary teens staring at him, and shrugged.

"Don’t look at me like that, I’m neither a Curse Mage nor a Curse Master, and I have absolutely nothing to do with what’s happening here."

"I just accidentally ended up here."

"Do you believe what I’m saying?"

Believe it?

Heh...

Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara exchanged glances and were about to speak.

But before that could happen, Itadori Yuji spoke first.

"Oh, so you ended up here by accident!"

He clapped his palm with a look of sudden realization.

"Don’t believe him!"

Kugisaki Nobara shouted.

"..."

Fushiguro Megumi’s mouth twitched.

The originally serious atmosphere was disrupted entirely by Itadori Yuji’s antics.

"I know you don’t believe me." Reiger calmly continued to stand there, saying, "But shouldn’t you be more concerned about something else right now?"

What does that mean?

The three of them were slightly taken aback.

Until...

"————!"

An overwhelming presence appeared out of nowhere, freezing Itadori Yuji and the other two in place.

The presence was drawing closer, or perhaps it had been close from the start, rendering them immobile.

Heartbeats accelerated.

Blood boiled.

This wasn’t due to excitement, but rather trepidation, fear.

At that moment, not only Itadori Yuji but also Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara realized something within a split second.

That is, an incredibly terrifying presence was now standing right behind them.

(When did it...?!)

A simultaneous roar echoed in their minds.

There was no noticing it whatsoever.

No defense at all.

Even the two large dogs that had been happily munching on the Curse Spirit’s flesh until now couldn’t muster a bark, frozen in place like frogs caught in a snake’s gaze, not daring to move a muscle.

The air solidified.

Even time seemed to freeze.

The trio turned pale.

Only Reiger, looking at the phantom-like presence that had suddenly appeared behind Itadori Yuji and the others, tilted his head and spoke.

"Are you laughing?"

"Are you happy?"

"What’s there to be happy about?"

The series of blunt questions cast the scene into a deathly silence.
