Everything for Retirement!

Xia Shi is an ordinary sorcerer in the jujutsu world. His greatest dream in life is to collect his pension.

Unfortunately, reality is cruel. A jujutsu sorcerer's work is full of danger, and the slightest mistake can mean death.

“Come on, Xia Shi. Go slap that curse twice.”

“...That's a Special Grade curse!”

“Hmph, a mere Special Grade...”

“...”

After nearly getting slapped to death by the curse, Xia Shi just wants some peace and quiet.

A jujutsu sorcerer's work is always hectic.

“Sorry, Mr. Oda. Teacher Fujiwara wants you to go to the school.”

“Wow, Xia Shi's failed another exam!”

“Should we call Xia Shi-ge smart or stupid?”

“His future looks bleak.”

“What if Xia Shi-ge can't get into college and ends up without a job?”

The children at home are worried sick.

“It's okay if Xia Shi-ge isn't very good at studying. Sakuraku is great at it, so she'll support Xia Shi-ge.”

“...”

It's not his fault his vacations are almost entirely spent exorcising curses. He has no time to study at all. After being assigned a tutor, Xia Shi decides that his dream of going to college is a distant one.

A jujutsu sorcerer's work is always misunderstood by all sorts of people.

“Look, it's Master Xia Shi from the class next door!”

“Sonoko, that's rude.”

“It's true! Last time, something creepy happened at Uncle Tsugichiro's house, and Master Xia Shi took care of it!”

“...”

What kind of embarrassing title is that?! Xia Shi, long past his chuunibyou phase, covers his face and wails.

“Wait, can I really make it to retirement, huh?!”

“Eh? Is that so?” Gojo Satoru hands Xia Shi a slip of paper. “Here's your pay for this month. And the amount you'll get every month after you retire...”

Xia Shi: !

“, But for the sake of my pension, I'll work even harder as a jujutsu sorcerer!”

Xia Shi clenches his fist.

“Something this small is nothing!”
