Transmigrated as Sukuna, but the Host is Yukinoshita?

Chapter 49 Chapter 44 Is It Me?

No one would want to see someone worrying about their own appearance. If there is anyone, that must be someone with a strong facade.

“What should we do? Could it be that she has been too shocked and developed mental issues?” Snow下的母亲 caressed her daughter’s cheek, tears shimmering in her eyes. She had completely forgotten her usual elegant demeanor, leaving only worry for her daughter.

“Let’s take her to the hospital for a check-up.” Snow下的父亲 squatted down, waving his hand in front of Snow之下雪乃’s face, but she showed no reaction.

He originally planned to inquire about the specific details of the case after visiting his daughter, but he did not expect her situation to be so severe.

The moment she heard that she would have to go to the hospital for an examination, Snow之下雪乃 panicked and quickly asked Lin 琐 to send her consciousness back.

“In fact, you can come back by yourself… Don’t forget to put on a show.” Lin 琐 reminded her.

“I, I’ll try my best.” For her acting, Snow之下雪乃 was not confident. She was not like her sister Yuno.

After her consciousness returned, the dark teal irises slowly regained focus, and Snow之下雪乃 blinked her eyes.

Actually, there was no need for any performance. Seeing her mother’s tear-filled eyes reflecting her somewhat perplexed face, Snow之下雪乃 realized that no matter how she reacted, her mother wouldn’t notice anything amiss.

Her mother seemed like a different person. The girl found it hard to link the tearful yet beautiful woman before her with the stern mother who would educate her seriously.

Unexpectedly, a vague sorrow surged up from the depths of her heart, but it also felt like her long effort had finally paid off.

“Mom…”

Even though she had always used the more formal and solemn term “mother,” this time, a more intimate and softer “Mom” slipped out from her lips, as light as fine sand slipping through fingers and easy to overlook.

With sincere calling, she got a response. Snow之下母亲 embraced her tightly after a moment of stunned silence, her voice choked up with emotion, “Yeah, Mom is right here…”

True family affection is probably like this, melting away any formality or indifference as long as there is genuine sincerity.

The touching scene of maternal kindness and filial piety seemed perfect. Lin 琐, sitting on the eaves of the shrine with one leg crossed, murmured softly to himself, “This is indeed a great act, but isn’t it overdone?”

Despite confirming that their daughter was safe and sound, Snow之下’s parents still insisted on taking her to the hospital for thorough check-ups.

Right then, the second performer, someone affiliated with the Specialized School arranged within the police station, appeared.

It was due to someone spotting Lin 琐’s veil being spread the previous day that Ijichi Kiyotaka managed to make contact the next day.

These affiliates were part of the Specialized School system, able to perceive curses. Although they lacked combat abilities, they served as the school’s eyes across Japan. Thanks to them, task assignments could accurately reach jujutsu sorcerers based on the perceived cursed spirits.

Though many times, due to insufficient personnel, jujutsu sorcerers were forced to deal with cursed spirits above their own levels.

Initially praising Snow之下雪乃 for her courage and calmness, he proceeded to narrate the pre-planned sequence of events to the Chiba Prefectural Assembly member.

Snow之下雪乃 noticed suspicious behavior of a possible perpetrator while walking home from school and observed the weapon held by the individual. She followed quietly to report to the police who ultimately encountered the crime scene at the victim’s apartment, shocking her significantly.

As for the perpetrator, a death row inmate was chosen to stand in. The entire legal process was falsified, including autopsy reports, making it practically foolproof even if investigated by the concerned father who was also a politician.

Ijichi Kiyotaka was undeniably professional and trustworthy.

Snow之下雪乃 was taken to the hospital by her parents. Upon receiving his call, Sister Yuno abandoned her work immediately and rushed to the hospital.

“What happened to Snow乃?” Snow之下阳乃, slightly breathless as if she had run all the way, asked hurriedly upon arrival.

The Snow之下 parents explained the situation outside the consultation room, but she felt a strange instinctive uneasiness immediately afterward.

They met a murder scene?

Wasn’t Little Snow乃 doing fine yesterday?

Recalling Snow乃’s behavior at home the previous day, albeit more lethargic than usual—the extent wasn’t as bad as described by her mother, considering she could prepare dinner and breakfast.

Given her familiarity with Snow乃, she would see through any lies instantly, perhaps withholding information at most, never fabricating a full story.

Could it be I’m overly worried?

Perhaps a bit neurotic.

Snow之下阳乃 believed she needed a mental evaluation.

After the check-up concluded, naturally, nothing serious was found. She merely experienced some shock but was otherwise fine.

Snow之下’s parents watched their well-behaved daughter, finally relieved.

“Let’s stay at our ancestral home tonight. A few days off from school won’t be an issue.”

Gently rearranging her younger sister’s collar, the elder daughter Yuno stood rooted, gazing intently.

Is this really her mom? When did her mother exhibit such kindness before?

Something feels different in the house after just a night?

No, it isn’t.

In character as she is, facing injustice by intervening was natural. Just unfortunate timing—witnessing a murder.

Mother, usually strict yet caring, would naturally worry about her, understandable.

But something odd persisted throughout.

Unresolved suspicion clouded Sister Yuno’s thoughts, lingering like persistent dark clouds. Yet, without clear cause, akin to food stuck between teeth—unfindable, causing discomfort.

Snow之下阳乃 started to doubt herself.

Could it truly be me?

…

School ended, then becoming a jujutsu sorcerer.
