Future Yuji Itadori Joins the Chat Group Chapter 44: The Name of the Culprit, Let Me Tell You

Natsuki Subaru had sent a photo of Roswaal to the group before; that clown makeup was almost impossible to forget.

Yuji Itadori imdiately shared the images he had seen earlier and his own deductions within the group.

[Unsurrounded One: Although I can't be certain, I feel that this man nad Roswaal is sowhat suspicious.]

[Only Love White-Haired Elves: From these images, he does indeed look a bit off. But is there any more direct evidence? This can only stay at the level of suspicion at most, right?]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: No, I can guarantee this clown is a problem!]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Oh? Kazuma, how did you judge that?]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Does it even need saying? No guy with a functioning brain would put on clown makeup and talk in that tone, right?]

[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: That actually sounds like it makes a lot of sense.]

[Only Love White-Haired Elves: While that's true, judging soone by their appearance is wrong.]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Hey, hey, hey, aren't you the one who ntions appearance-related topics the most in this group!]

[Only Love White-Haired Elves: Can't help it. Who told to be such a Handso Guy?]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Are you really a proper Hero? At this rate, Frieren won't like you!]

[Only Love White-Haired Elves: Stop saying that! Stop saying that!]

[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: Speaking of which, why is the playback speed of the video the Group Leader sent so slow? Although the group functions have a slow-motion feature, the video you sent shouldn't have been slowed down in advance, right?]

[Unsurrounded One: It wasn't. It's only possible to reach this level because I used a Cursed Technique.]

[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: There's actually a Cursed Technique like that?]

[Unsurrounded One: Yeah. You'll find out later.]

Yuji Itadori did not reveal exactly what Cursed Technique it was.

After all, for the world where his younger self resided, Blood Manipulation was a technique passed down through the Kamo Clan, one of the Big Three Families, and was regarded as a treasure by them.

If that world learned that he would master Blood Manipulation in the future, it might cause so upheaval.

While his other self likely wouldn't proactively ntion it, it was best to avoid it if possible.

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Although there's no definitive proof, if we put it like that, Roswaal is indeed a bit suspicious... I wonder if Elsa will tell us the truth.]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Wait, wait, wait! Who did you say? Who is Elsa?]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Elsa, the Bowel Hunter. She was persuaded by Senior Itadori and has basically joined our camp.]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Wait, wait, wait, hold on a second! You an that beauty wearing black tights with a great body, super long legs, huge breasts, super fair skin, and a gorgeous face has joined your camp?]

Just looking at the text in the group, everyone could feel Sato Kazuma's resentnt.

Why were there so many beautiful girls on Natsuki Subaru's side?!

He said before that Natsuki Subaru's world was dangerous, but this guy had the Return by Death ability, so he shouldn't be afraid of danger at all!

And the people creating the danger ended up becoming his partners!

First ili, and now Elsa...

This is unfair!!!

Why are the people around all idiots!

While Sato Kazuma was throwing a fit in the group, Natsuki Subaru and Yuji Itadori closed the chat interface.

Ti resud. To Elsa, it was as if nothing had happened.

Natsuki Subaru cast an anxious gaze at Elsa's face, desperate to know the answer from her.

"Just from observation? That's a bit hard to believe~"

Elsa flashed a aningful smile.

"As an assassin, keeping secrets is the most basic professional standard—however, strictly speaking, I'm probably not an assassin anymore, am I? After all, I have a new employer who forbids from killing people at random."

"Who exactly is your employer?"

"He didn't guess wrong~"

Elsa said playfully, her tone carrying a hint of admiration.

The mont he heard those words, Natsuki Subaru felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, as if his soul had been sucked out.

Roswaal is the mastermind behind all of this?

No, no, no.

Natsuki Subaru forced himself to stay calm. After all, this was just Elsa's word; whether it was true or not remained uncertain.

"It seems this little brother doesn't quite trust ~ This cloak I'm wearing was given to by him. 'The target is a magic user, and this cloak can resist Magic'—those were the employer's exact words to ~"

As she spoke, Elsa took off the cloak she was wearing and handed it to Natsuki Subaru.

Natsuki Subaru took the garnt. He didn't answer, falling into a deep silence instead.

To verify this matter, only one choice remained.

"Let's go confront Roswaal face-to-face," Yuji Itadori said, as if seeing through Natsuki Subaru's heart.

"Yeah. But if I confront Roswaal directly, I feel like he won't admit it. At the very least, as long as Emilia is present, he'll never confess..."

Natsuki Subaru reached out, lightly rubbing his chin, before sothing suddenly occurred to him.

"Speaking of which, I have an idea! Senior Itadori, I might need your help!"

In the Mansion.

Roswaal was in his room, staring intently at the Book of Wisdom in his hand.

What was happening now completely exceeded his imagination.

Why did that Yuji Itadori suddenly appear here, and why did he bring ili with him?

Could it be that I revealed a flaw sowhere?

I shouldn't have.

Why on earth...

"No, I shouldn't be worried about this. On the contrary, I should be happy!"

Instead, a smile appeared on Roswaal's face.

Yuji Itadori's appearance made Roswaal realize one thing.

He, even more than Natsuki Subaru, resembled that Child of Prophecy.

He flipped through the Book of Wisdom, reading the text with greedy eyes.

"Before long, mbers of the Witch Cult will also invade~ That will be the best opportunity to verify who the Child of Prophecy is—once the candidate is confird, the next step of the plan can proceed..."

Just as Roswaal was talking to himself, there was a knock at the door.

"Co in."

The door was slowly pushed open. Natsuki Subaru walked in expressionlessly, his eyes like those of a lion, staring fixedly at Roswaal.
