"Nothing, what is it?" Nobara asked Yuji a question as if she hadn't said anything before.
"No, it is just good to see that you …are back," Itadori said as he looked at Nobara with a relieved look but…
"Hah! What's with that look?" Nobara's face twisted as she saw how glad Itadori looked that she was fully healed, he seemed to be in a grave misunderstanding and she wasn't going to let it continue any longer.
"Do you think that I am your responsibility or something?" Nobara asked as she folded her arms with a big frown on her face.
This was the main reason for Itadori's reaction, he believed that he was the reason Nobara got to that injured state, but he wasn't right to assume this…
"I am a Sorcerer, it is natural that cursed spirits would target me since I have to fight them, and it is only natural that I might die while doing this, it is something that I know about already and I still choose to do this every time, it has nothing to do with you being there. This whole thing was bound to happen either way, you just happened to be caught in it," Nobara spoke in a harsh tone but what she wanted to say to Itadori was something else, seeing how he was still suffering from the aftermath of the event she wanted to set the record straight for him.
"None of this is your responsibility, neither sensei getting sealed, or Nanamin dying, or me getting that wound, and neither what Sukuna did after taking over your body," Nobara had caught up on the things that had happened in Shibuya and she was sure that Itadori suffered a tremendous blow from all of the things that had happened.
Nobara already had an idea that Itadori would end up this way which is why she tried to leave him with some words, but her time was limited at that instant, but not now…
"But those people still died…" Itadori still blamed himself for the death of the innocent people who were caught by Sukuna in his domain, if only he was dead then those people wouldn't have been killed that way.
That is why he continued to fight, his thoughts were that if he continued to fight he would die eventually and at least will do something useful, but things only got worse.
'After all, that is what those bastards wanted, that is why…' Nobara looked at the Itadori who was still wallowing in the aftermath just like their opponents wanted, but she couldn't let this go on because if he continued to stay like this something worse will happen.
"Didn't Adam confirm it for you as well? You weren't the one who killed them and they don't even resent you, Do you understand what I am saying?" Nobara asked and Itadori just blinked because he did remember hearing that, but he didn't think about it seriously at that time.
But after that he couldn't understand the point since first he didn't know Adam, and second, there was no evidence suggesting how he knew what the spirits of the death thought about him in general, third since Sukuna killed everyone with a domain none of the people knew who killed them so how did Adam know that their hated wasn't sent to him?
But even with those thoughts, There wasn't much he could say when she went to such lengths to make sure he didn't fall down in a downward spiral.
"Thanks, Kugisaki, you're so awesome," Itadori smiled like he always did and…
"Idiot, did you just notice my greatness? Seriously, boys like you are the reason I am still single," Nobara shook her head in disappointment leaving Itadori in confusion, but that was beside the point since right now…
"And shouldn't you be more worried about yourself at this point?" Nobara was really shocked to see that Itadori had the time to worry about others now, just how dumb was he to be running around in a place with so many Sorcerors?
Given that Gojo, the biggest deterrent to Sukuna and the top guarantor of Yuji was now sealed, along with the massacre Sukuna did in Shibuya pairing it up with the tensions that will rise in the Jujutsu world thanks to this incident paired with the strongest sorcerer gone, the one who was in most danger at this moment was…
"Ah? Me?" Itadori pointed at himself and Nobara nodded with a flat look since this guy still didn't get it.
"You should go away quickly before the order comes from above, and if that happens we'll need to run with you as well," Nobara could already see that Yuji would most likely get an executioner on his neck at any time, she could see that even with what little she knew of how the Jujutsu world operated.
"Oh, yeah, that is what I wanted to tell you, but you snapped at me," Itadori laughed hollowly as he told Nobara that he was planning on leaving with Choso, who was now calling him his little brother and there was also Todo who was tagging along.
But as they were talking, Yuki came out running from the building and she looked shocked the reason for this was…
"What is that?" Yuki muttered looking at the symbol that appeared in the middle of the sky.
No one was able to answer her but she got it from the person that followed her.
"That guy is quite a show-off," Adam said as he walked out with the other following as well, They were curious as to what could make Yuki run out like that.
'He deliberately had this appear here to let these guys know what he was up to,' Adam thought as he knew that the brain bastard was up to no good.
"What do you mean?" Yuki asked since it looked like Adam knew something about what was going on.
"Hmm, the simplest way I can explain this is, there are now more than a thousand people like that boy over there," Adam pointed at Itadori who also pointed at himself in confusion, and then…
"Wait, A thousand like him then that means…" Utahime frowned the more she thought, if what she had understood was correct then at this moment in Japan there were a thousand people who had cursed objects inside of them and there was a high possibility that…
'They are Jujutsu users from the past just like the King of curses, and since they were awakened by Suguru Geto, they will likely be up to no good,' Yuki thought as to her this problem wasn't that big on the surface, what irked her the most was…
"He got Mahito in the end," Yuki muttered with a frown and Adam nodded.
"He did that while he was fighting everyone, you guys didn't notice it?" Adam asked while tilting his head and most of them could only shake their head, they had indeed not noticed when Suguru managed to do that, it went unnoticed and for good reason because he trying to do it as discreetly as possible thanks to the presence of certain someone who could've stopped him.
"Gah! Adam if you saw it you should've stopped him, now I can't get my revenge, I still have to pull 99 holes in the bastard's face, Damn it!" Nobara was having another fit of rage as the others just looked at her in shock, this certainly wasn't the time to be worrying abuot revenge and not to mention that…
'So uncouth and vulgar,' Momo even thought seeing how Nobara had no filter on her mouth as she continued to curse.
"Well, How about this?" Adam said as he showed Nobara a head, and yes it was the head of…
"Wait, why do you have that patchwork's head? And, Why is it still like that? It is hella creepy!!" Nobara moved back with a disgusted face, while the others didn't even know what to say since Adam just pulled that out of nowhere.
There was no warning or anything this guy just pulled out the head of an already assumed dead cursed spirit like he was taking out his phone from his pocket. And of course, he didn't care for their shock and all because…
"It is in a still state now, but if you attack it will go back to normal and you will be able to land your hit how about it? Neat?" The more Adam explained the closer Nobara got with the smirk on her face getting wider.
"Yeah, this is perfect!" Nobara looked about ready to strike but then she stopped all of a sudden before anyone else even spoke or tried to move.
"You said that guy Geto or whatever had used this Patchwork's cursed technique to do that right?"
....
