"Please enjoy, Kamiki-sama."
A servant placed a sweet offering in the form of pastries on the table, bowed respectfully, then withdrew.
"Um."
Eiji didn't even glance at the servant; he was reading a book while munching on a donut.
"Delicious." He commented lightly.
It had been three days since he had brought Nanako, Kosaki, and Haru back to the world of Jujutsu. Of course, this attracted attention from the Gojo Family, especially the upper echelons.
It was the first time Eiji had brought a woman home to the Gojo Residence, let alone a mother and her two daughters. How could this not cause a commotion?
As a result, many rumors circulated among the servants and family members that he had a fetish for oyakodon and shimaidon.
Eiji even got called out by his Cousin, Gojo Satoru, who kept cracking jokes about the rumors.
Nevertheless, he didn't care about the bad rumors about him. He explained the origin of the three women to his cousin.
Although the Limitless Technique had been updated due to innovations made by Eiji, the Cyan and Azure skills were not listed in the best edition of the Limitless Technique. So, only two people knew about those skills: himself as the creator and Satoru as the current head of the family.
Knowing that Nakano, Kosaki, and Haru were people who made sweets from another world, which Eiji usually brought back, Satoru gave them a choice.
The first option was for them to stay at the Gojo Family Residence and be hired exclusively as cooks to make sweets.
The second option was for them to live in the city, given a sum of money to start a business opening a sweet shop, and live a normal life.
Considering that Kosaki and Haru had to go to school, Nanako chose the second option. Then, Satoru gave them debit cards with a considerable amount of money and assigned one of the Gojo members to protect them.
Eiji didn't mind the decision. As long as he could eat their sweets, there was no problem.
"Today my suspension ends, huh... I wonder how Panda and the others are doing."
Closing the book he was reading, Eiji reclined in a folding chair while staring at the cloud-shaped dirt in the sky, suddenly losing his appetite.
"Eiji, let's play~!"
Satoru approached with a cheerful expression.
"What's up, Satoru-Nii-san?"
"Eh, so mean~, can't I visit you without a reason~?"
"..."
Meeting his indifferent gaze with his Six Eyes, Satoru shrugged while picking up a donut from the plate and eating it.
"You're not fun at all, Eiji. With a cold attitude like that, you won't have a girlfriend, you know~"
"As if Satoru-Nii-san has a girlfriend."
"No no no, you're mistaken about something. Being single doesn't mean no woman likes me. On the contrary, I'm too good-looking, so I attract women easily with just my appearance, in other words, I'm too popular! I'm single by choice, not because no woman likes me. You get it?"
Satoru deliberately removed his eye cover, revealing his handsome face, and struck an exaggerated pose while uttering narcissistic words.
"..."
Seeing him pose strangely, Eiji was too lazy to say anything. After all, he was accustomed to his cousin's absurd behavior.
"So, what's your reason for coming to me? Satoru-Nii-san didn't come just to show off, right?"
"Oh right, I almost forgot."
Putting the eye cover back on, Satoru tapped his forehead while sticking out his tongue playfully.
"For the time being, Jujutsu High Schools in Tokyo and Kyoto will be closed."
"Huh?"
Eiji was surprised to receive this news.
He was really looking forward to going to school tomorrow, only to find out that Jujutsu High School would be closed!
"For how long?"
"Well, about a year?! The time is relative and depends on Tengen-sama."
"A year huh... Wait, what does this have to do with Tengen-sama?"
This news was even more shocking than before. Eiji couldn't find this event in Lin Fan's memory.
(Indeed... Lin Fan's memory can only be used as a reference. The future is not fixed and can change. Don't believe everything in the plot.)
The closure of Jujutsu High Schools for a year was due to Master Tengen convincing Lin Fan not to rely solely on Jujutsu Kaisen anime and manga in memory.
"Hey, Eiji, are you listening to me?"
"Sorry, I was lost in thought."
His cousin's voice brought Eiji back to his senses.
"You're not even listening to me, are you... You're probably thinking about Kosaki-chan or Haru-chan? It's normal, Eiji is still a teenager going through puberty; it's time for you to be interested in romance."
"Don't talk nonsense, Satoru-Nii-san, my relationship with both of them is not like that. Stop joking around, tell me why Tengen-sama is related to the temporary closure of Jujutsu High Schools?"
"Hey, Eiji, do you know about the Star Plasma Vessel?"
Instead of answering, Satoru asked back.
"I do. Tengen-sama Cursed Technique is Immortality. Although it sounds impressive, her technique cannot stop aging. Every 500 years, Tengen-sama has to merge with a new vessel chosen from humans with specific characteristics. The so-called Star Plasma Vessel is the human vessel for Tengen-sama."
*👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻*
"A perfect answer, unfortunately, no prize~"
Satoru clapped after Eiji gave his answer.
"You probably already know that in this generation, Tengen-sama failed to merge with the Star Plasma Vessel. It's all because Suguru and I failed to protect Amanai Riko, the human who became the Star Plasma Vessel."
Eiji could hear regret in his cousin's voice.
"Is the Star Plasma Vessel important to Tengen-sama? The answer is, of course. As you discussed earlier, although Tengen-sama is immortal, she can age, and her immortality technique forces Tengen-sama's body to evolve."
"Tengen-sama's evolution has a negative impact on the world of Jujutsu and humans. One of them is the shields protecting both Jujutsu schools, which are made by Tengen-sama, and the shield that limits the human and Cursed Spirit world is also Tengen-sama's creation. If Tengen-sama evolves, these shields will weaken or collapse, because of her changed body, and that is very dangerous because humans and Cursed Spirits could meet, leading to chaos."
"The most dangerous thing is Tengen-sama becoming a Cursed Spirit itself. To prevent the worst-case scenario, I, Principal Yaga, and Yuki Tsukumo will oversee Tengen-sama. If she loses control and evolves into a Cursed Spirit, then we will kill her."
"..."
Ignoring Geto Suguru, who is now a criminal, the people participating in overseeing Master Tengen are the strongest individuals of the current era.
Gojo Satoru and Yuki Tsukumo are Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers, and their strength is beyond question.
Although Yaga Masamichi is only a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, he could actually be promoted to the rank of Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.
What confuses Eiji is why he isn't participating in such events. He is also a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer. Is he being discriminated against because of his young age?
"You must be wondering why you weren't invited, right?"
As if seeing his doubt, Satoru smiled widely.
"Um." Eiji nodded.
