"🎜NOW I'M SHAKING, DRINKING ALL THIS COFFEE🎝"
"🎜THESE LAST FEW WEEKS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTING🎝"
"🎜I'M LOST IN MY IMAGINATION🎝"
A closed room, not too big nor too small. A small table in the center with three couches taking up three walls, a big TV on the fourth wall with a door directly in front of it.
A disco ball hung at the ceiling, directly in the center of the room, reflecting light all over the room.
Within the room were five people, who else but Noah, Geto, Gojo, Misato, Illumi, and Kalluto?
With a mic in his hand, Noah shouted as if his listener were deaf.
Though it wouldn't be surprising that they would be deaf after his singing that seemed to kill the very ear germs of the listeners.
"STOP FOR GOT SAKE!" Geto finally had enough, protecting his ears with his hands, he snatched the mic away from Noah's hand, stunning him.
"What are you doing? Even if you are jealous, there should be a limit to jealousy. Give that mic back!"
"Over my dead body! In fact, I'll curse you even after my death!" Geto retorted, his leg on Noah's face as he kicked him away. "Can you not see how horrendous your voice is? You will end up destroying our ears at this rate!"
"Huh?" Noah looked at Geto as if an idiot before pointing towards Riko and Misato. "Look, they are crying at the beauty of my voice. Idiot! Give that mic back!"
"Never! They are crying due to the sheer pain they had to go through!"
"Sigh… Guess I have no other choice but to let the world hear my voice." At the side, Gojo sighed as he picked the mic and gave a smile to Misato, and Riko. "Please don't fall for me."
"Ahem…"
"🎜se~ no!🎝"
"🎜Demo sonnan—ghiya!🎝"
"Don't you fucking dare to ruin that song." In the throwing position, Noah glared at the white-haired man who had a bump over his head. "Kana-chan will cry."
How can he let it happen?
Such a legendary song that people would almost believe that it was the anthem of some creepy cult or organization, Noah would never let it be defiled.
It was one of his favorite songs, no way he would let some smug white-haired dude sing it.
This was the only song that should be sung by only females!
"Say, Noah, I'm thinking for a while but I think we need to talk." Looking towards Noah, Gojo cracked his neck. "It is obvious that whatever I sing will be heavenly, what's your point? Are you ignorant or something?"
"Sing whatever you want, Gojo, but do NOT dare to ruin that song. Or we can only face each other as enemies." Noah answered, staring at Gojo.
"Enemies? Heh. Have you ever seen an ant calling a human its enemy? You only squash them, like bam and they are dead."
"You…" Noah stared at Gojo with slight shock before saying. "Even I didn't put you as low as an ant (I at least had put you on the same level as an ant queen), but if you insist, it can't be helped."
"... What are they talking about?" At the side, Riko gave Gojo and Noah—who had their forehead touching each other, giving each other glare—a weird look, not understanding what they were talking about.
Everyone had come here for fun, how did it turn into such a situation.
'In fact, if I knew that all three of them were so bad at singing, I would have never asked to visit Karaoke.'
Initially, they all should have gone back to Jujutsu High, but Gojo insisted on taking Riko for some sightseeing around the town.
How could Geto and Noah not tell what Gojo was trying to do?
But none of them said anything.
Even though it has only been a day, Noah has come to a basic understanding with both Geto and Gojo, so it wasn't hard to see that Gojo wanted Riko to spend her last time outside in happiness.
"How am I supposed to know…" Misato replied with a tired voice.
She had never felt so tired in her whole life than how much she was right now after dealing with the shenanigans of both Noah and Gojo.
It was like facing one thick-skinned person after another, with a load of narcissism in them.
At the side, with their hands covered by the talisman used to stop the flow of cursed energy, Illumi and Kalluto stared at the circus in front of them with dead eyes.
To think they would end up in such a situation; it was first for them.
It was not like they have not taken assassination missions before—every member of Zoldyck, as they reach the age of 3, needs to start taking assassination missions to get experience.
This was Kalluto's second mission, but he had never imagined that it would end up in such a failure.
The problem was not with them, they were aware of it.
The problem was that their target seemed to have some sixth sense—the moment they appeared in a certain range around him, he detected them immediately.
Till now, Noah had thought that the target of the Zoldyck siblings was Riko.
It can't be helped.
Since he would have never imagined the target of Zoldyck siblings was not Riko nor any other, it was Noah.
If two empires are fighting with each other, and a new opponent pops out of nowhere between them, then they would rather focus on that opponent first than each other.
Why?
Because of the unknown.
Unknown gives birth to fear, delusion, and uncertainty.
Togi was a veteran fighter and assassin—how could he let an unknown factor such as Noah slip through?
A person with no prior knowledge of existence suddenly popped out of nowhere in the mission to escort the Plasma Vessel, of course, he would be cautious.
That's why, in addition to the bounty, he had asked the Time Vessel Association to hire the Zoldyck siblings specifically for Noah.
To study him, and if they can, to assassinate him and eliminate the unknown completely.
It would have worked well if Noah was any other sorcerer.
Zoldyck is known for their assassination and their ability to completely eliminate their curse energy from the perception, which allows them to literally become invisible from normal perception techniques.
If instead of Noah, it was another sorcerer (obviously except for the anomalies like Geto and Gojo), the Zoldyck siblings would have succeeded.
In fact, if not for the spell <<Sense Enemy>>, Noah was sure that even he would have had a hard time dealing with them.
After all, like them, he also had no idea what their curse techniques were.
He only had the knowledge of them from when they were part of Hunter x Hunter and used Nen, but now?
How can he be sure that they were not using any other techniques than what they had before?
Thankfully, he had two spells like <<Hold>> and <<Sense Enemy>> that could be used in any situation to come out alive.
And no one in this world possesses Ainz level monstrous magical resistance which was another bonus to all of this.
"Damn! That's big!"
Kalluto was brought out of his mind as he stared at the big mall in front of him, making him wonder when they changed their positions.
"But why do you want to go shopping when none of this is going down with you?"
"Oi!" Noah hit his elbow to Gojo's side, staring at him as if an idiot.
Why would you say something sensitive like that? — was what his look said, to which Gojo just shrugged.
He was curious after all.
"I'm not buying clothes for myself." Riko answered surprisingly softly. "I'm buying them for Kuroi. It's like my final gift to her."
"..."
An awkward silence descended between them, with Geto shaking his head while Noah stared at Gojo with a "See? Told you" look.
"Ahem! Let's go Kalluto! It is time to accept your real gender." With a cough, trying his best to depress the awkwardness in the air, Noah picked Kalluto like a sack of potatoes and said.
"W-wait! What are you doing!?" Kalluto, trying his best to struggle, said.
Despite having inhumane strength due to Zoldyck's training, he was finding it hard to get out of Noah's hand.
"Che! Even the voice, fucking anime logic." Noah clicked his tongue in annoyance, making everyone stare at him with weird gazes wondering what he was talking about.
Entering the mall, they were visited with the loud sound of people inside and the crowd, making Riko overwhelmed.
It was her first time entering a big mall, so the loud noise of people took her by surprise.
"It sure is crowded." Misato commented, having the same feelings as Riko.
"It can't be helped." Geto answered while following after excited Gojo and Noah. "It is the biggest mall in Tokyo, making it the center of most shopping addicts."
"Welcome, sir. How can I help you?" As they entered a shop, a girl came and bowed her head.
"Ah. You see, my phone is not working these days, can you help me?" Gojo said, giving her his phone.
"She didn't—"
"Let me see… Oh… hmm… here, it should work now." With a radiant smile, she returned the phone back, making Geto stare at Gojo and her with a weird gaze.
"She is Rika-chan. She has a degree in electromechanics." Gojo answered enthusiastically.
"I won't ask why you even know that…"
"Excuse me, but I would like clothes for him. He is a boy by the way." Pushing Kalluto, Noah said, making Rika stare at Kalluto with stars in her eyes.
"Oh, so cute! Is he your brother?"
"No. He is an assassin sent to kill me but I used reverse Uno card and kidnapped him instead."
"I-is that so?" She gave Noah a weird gaze before looking towards Kalluto.
Seeing his cute face, she wondered if Noah had eaten something weird, calling such a cute child an assassin.
"What are you trying to do with Kalluto, Noah Pendragon?" Illumi stared at Noah, his voice slightly threatening. "Mother will be quite mad if something happened to her. You don't wanna face—"
"Wait!" Noah cut him off before gripping his shoulders tightly, staring into Illumi's dark eyes. "What did you just say?"
"What?" Illumi confusedly stared at Noah, wondering if he was mentally ill or something.
"Something about Mother will be angry if something happened to…?" He pushed his ear close to his mouth, urging him to complete the sentence.
"... her?"
Gasp!
With his hand over his lips, Noah stared at Illumi with a stunned face before his gaze landed on Kalluto.
A silence followed after with everyone staring at Noah, wondering what happened to him.
With one step back, as if the shock was too much for his body to handle, Noah took a seat.
His head in his hand before he sighed.
"It's alright. It's alright. What did I expect? This world is based on anime logic, so it shouldn't be surprising to see a gender-bend happening. I should treat everyone as if I have no idea who they are."
He looked up towards Gojo before asking.
"Gojo… Are you a dude with a dick?"
"... Yeah?"
"Good Good." He nodded before looking towards Geto with suspicious eyes.
"I'm a man!" Staring into his suspicious gaze, Geto hurriedly said. He didn't want people to confuse his gender.
Nodding his head, his gaze now landed on Illumi.
Seeing his appearance that depicted a young girl with smooth skin, soft hair, plump lips, beautiful eyes, and a curvy body, Noah became silent.
"Illumi… Are you—"
"—man, I'm a man." He seemed to push a little pressure on the word man, seeing Noah's weird gaze that looked at him as if some weird creature.
"Kalluto…Rika… Just… I don't know… Just get her some clothes I guess."
He will need some time to calm down since his mind had started to imagine all the traps that confused his dick and wondered what would happen if they were gender-bent.
'This… doesn't sound that bad… In fact… it strangely excites me…'
