When Natsume Became a Special-Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer

Updates and backlogged chapters are listed in the author's announcement in the comments.

The Jujutsu worldbuilding has been adjusted to move the plot along, using the Natsume world as the baseline.

One day, Natsume encountered a curse.

Just as the curse was about to bite down on his neck, Natsume instinctively threw a Friendship Face-Punch. The Grade 1 curse was subdued and became his lackey.

Megumi Fushiguro, who arrived late, stared at the clear-eyed curse in front of him.

Natsume: “...I-it's a misunderstanding.”

It felt like he'd just hit a kid, and now the kid's parent had shown up.

Megumi Fushiguro took a deep breath. “, Gojo-sensei!!!”

From then on, the world had a new jujutsu sorcerer: Natsume Takashi.

To prove that he was a frail human who couldn't hurt a fly,

Natsume agreed to work alongside the jujutsu sorcerers. But why was the plot gradually starting to go off the rails...

During his first week at school, Natsume received his first assignment from Jujutsu High.

Exterminate the remnants of the Star Religious Group and retrieve a special-grade cursed object.

Natsume was delighted: This is my chance to show them how weak I am.

The Star Religious Group had been a major organization negotiating with Jujutsu High for over a decade. Natsume put in a tremendous effort, kicking them twice, and they surrendered.

Natsume stared blankly.

Jujutsu High was overjoyed and awarded him the title of semi-Grade 1 sorcerer.

Natsume didn't put up a fight. Compared to the so-called semi-Grade 1 title, he was more curious about the transparent man with the weird bangs floating beside him.

The man with the weird bangs, apparently visible only to Natsume, twirled his fringe. “Yo, nice to meet you. I'm Geto, the former leader of the Star Religious Group...”

Natsume: “!!!”

He's come back from the dead!!!

Natsume thought, Last time was an accident.

This time, I'll definitely mess things up:

Looking at the long list of achievements,

Natsume said, “...” This can't be real.

From then on, Jujutsu High had a new legend:

Don't mess with Natsume Takashi. He'll subdue you and make you his dog.

Natsume: Don't believe rumors or spread them. I'm just a high schooler who loves life and likes returning names.

At some point, the Book of Friends suddenly stopped letting him return names.

After a long investigation, Natsume discovered something was wrong with the book: he could only return a yokai's name if a curse's name appeared in it first.

Fortunately, once curses entered the Book of Friends, they were purified and no longer wanted to do evil.

So, in order to return the yokai's names without a hitch,

Natsume took up a life of catching curses during the day and returning names at night.

Later, when a yokai knocked on his window and begged him to return its name, Natsume apologized. “Sorry, I haven't met today's quota. I'll catch a new curse tomorrow.”

Curse: ?

Natsume had a pair of special eyes that let him see things other people couldn't.

When he was young, those eyes made others shun him, and he grew up alone.

Later, he met Natori and Matoba, who could also see yokai, as well as Taki, Tanuma, and the others. His empty heart gradually began to fill.

After that, he met a group of people who could see other supernatural beings too: an invincible white-haired teacher, the teacher's black-haired childhood friend, a school nurse who always looked as if someone had drained her life force, and several classmates around his own age.

He was about to form even more bonds.

“What are curses?” Natori asked in shock.

“What are yokai?” Gojo asked curiously.

As the only person who could see both kinds of nonhuman beings, Natsume sighed.

“Takashi, there's something here I can't see. Come take a look and see if it's one of those curses!”

“Natsume, come over here! There seems to be a strange yokai!”

Jujutsu sorcerer and yokai exorcist Natsume was so talented that the exorcist clans and jujutsu clans all fought over him.

Coming soon: I Have No Special Ability, but Joined the Scriptwriting Group with My Intellect

Whatever Lord Ranpo says is, absolutely right!

Edogawa Ranpo woke up one day fifteen years in the past. Looking at a shrunken-down Dazai Osamu, a Nakahara Chuuya who didn't seem to have grown up at all, Mori Ougai before his lolicon tendencies got that bad, the president who hadn't parted ways with him yet, a baby Atsushi Nakajima just learning to talk, and Akutagawa Ryuunosuke looking well-behaved as he led his little sister around...

Edogawa Ranpo: ...This is making me feel a little sick.

Edogawa Ranpo had no idea why only the great detective had returned to the past, but there was the young Oda Sakunosuke, Tsujimura Mizuki pregnant with a child, and Fitzgerald gently holding his lover's hand.

Edogawa Ranpo: ...No way.

Then came a yellow octopus, hideous vengeful spirits, and a “discount little detective” who kicked a ball beyond the limits of non-Newtonian mechanics yet insisted that the world was materialist.

Edogawa Ranpo wailed: This has to be fake...

What happened when Edogawa Ranpo, with eyes that could see through every truth, returned to the past fifteen years?

Edogawa Ranpo: Why?! Why send a detective who can already figure everything out back in time? The great detective doesn't need to live with a script!!!

Edogawa Ranpo, forced back to the past, occasionally sent to the future, unwilling to deal with the plot, yet forced to join the scriptwriting group: “...I want some dagashi.”

Second blurb:

On the eve of the destruction of all worlds, a child made a wish, hoping someone would save the world that was about to be destroyed.

Unaware that they had the power to change the world, the child used the one and only wish they would ever be granted on Edogawa Ranpo. And then Edogawa Ranpo saved the world.

Change Oda Sakunosuke's destined death?

Change the ending where Byakuran destroys the world ten years later?

Change the deadly ending where the yellow octopus blows up the moon?

The great detective, dutifully forced to save the world: “...I'm done. I want to go back to my hometown for New Year’s!”
