Chapter 7 - Tea

There was intense knocking on the door.

"Wait I'm coming. Who the hell is it? Are you trying to break the door" Nobora shouted as she went to open the door.

"Oh! It's you. Come in" she said upon seeing Megumi.

"Here I have brought some cake" Megumi said while handing the package to her.

Nobara took it and placed it in the kitchen.

"So, why has the most wanted jujutsu terrorist thought about paying a visit after decades of absence" she said sarcastically 

"Well I will come to the point. I need your help." he said earnestly.

"How so? Are you still trying to accomplish your plan? It is a futile dream. You can't Megumi! I sympathize with your pain but you are putting everyone into risk." She said.

Megumi stood staring at her and said "The plan is already in motion. Even if you don't help me it will still move forward" 

"So what do you want from me?" She asked

"You know a certain sorcerer who can bring back the dead, don't you? I need her whereabouts" he said.

"Well I do, but she won't be of much use. I will suggest you get her daughter she is a prodigy among séance users." She said while placing a cup of tea in front of him.

He sipped the tea and said mockingly "so the daughter surpasses her successor, quite a contradiction" 

For a minute there was silence, only broken by the sipping noises and the clinking sounds of cups. 

"How many lives will be lost?" She asked

"A lot of them" he said

Nobara took a paper strip and wrote the address . She handed it to him and said

"Better that I should not get involved in your schemes" 

Megumi smiled slightly and took the paper. He went out quietly.

"Damn why have these two remain so young? Gosh I look like their mother" she sighed.
