The distance between Osaka and New Delhi is about 6,100 kilometers (3,790 miles).
The direct flight time from Osaka to New Delhi is approximately 7 hours 30 minutes to 8 hours.
"It's begun."
Looking out the window, Eiji watched the sunset completely.
That meant the Hyakki Yakou had started, a thousand Cursed Spirits invading Tokyo, Shinjuku, and Kyoto.
"The plane departed from Osaka at 5:30 p.m. Japan time. Calculating flight time, the plane will arrive in New Delhi at 9:30 p.m. India time."
Leaning back in his seat, Eiji calculated the estimated travel time.
*ZZZ*
The snoring from the neighboring passenger was quite loud.
It caused discomfort for Eiji, blessed with extraordinary senses.
Glancing sideways, he saw a man with a thick mustache sound asleep. The snoring not only disturbed him, but other passengers seemed annoyed too.
Judging by the man's appearance, Eiji was sure the others were Indian.
"Excuse me, do you have earplugs?"
As the beautiful stewardess passed by, Eiji stopped her.
"Please wait a moment, let me get them for you."
After that, the stewardess hurried to get the earplugs.
She not only handed earplugs to Eiji but also to other disturbed passengers.
"Thank you."
"It's my duty."
Putting in the earplugs, Eiji felt a little better. Then, he unfolded the small piece of paper given earlier by the stewardess along with the earplugs.
"So that's how it is."
The paper only had one word written on it: intercourse. In other words, the stewardess was offering sexual services.
It was a well-known secret that some stewardesses secretly conducted prostitution business on flights. Of course, their service rates were higher than regular prostitution. Moreover, each stewardess was a beautiful woman selected among others.
"Boring."
The heat radiating from his palm burned the piece of paper in an instant.
"India is not a women-friendly country, I hope Kosaki and Haru will be alright."
Eiji remembered a news article that made him worry about the safety of the two girls.
The news reported about a Brazilian motorcycle traveler who was gang-raped in India, while her husband traveling with her was beaten. It is worth noting that the married couple had traveled around 60 countries, by motorcycle, in the last five years. However, when they arrived in India, the wife was raped and robbed.
From the above news, India is not a safe country for women.
"Don't think negatively. Even if Suguru-san kidnaps Kosaki and Haru, he most likely won't do it directly, but his accomplice will. Considering our relationship, he won't harm them. At most, he wants me not to interfere in Hyakki Yakou."
Regaining his composure, Eiji stopped thinking negatively.
He could only wait for the plane to land at New Delhi airport.

At the same time, Tokyo, Shinjuku, and Kyoto faced the onslaught of Cursed Spirits from various ranks.
With his eyes covered with a white bandage, Satoru calmly stared at the approaching horde of Cursed Spirits. What puzzled him was that he couldn't find the figure causing this incident.
(Is the show-off not on the front lines? Is he in Kyoto? If that's true, we should have heard about it.)
"Gojo-san, what's wrong?" Ijichi asked, slightly worried about Satoru's trance.
"It's nothing. Why?" Stopping to ponder this, Satoru asked back.
"I know it's not the right time, but this needs to be conveyed immediately. It's about the investigation of Okkutsu-kun that you requested earlier."
"Blah Blah Blah..."
He asked Ijichi to investigate Okkutsu Yuta's past. So, he reported the results of his investigation.
"..."
After listening, Satoru understood how important Yuta was to Suguru. Immediately, he realized this was all a ruse to divert their attention.
"Panda, Toge!"
"What's up?" Turning around, Panda asked confused.
"Don't ask too many questions."
Dragging Panda and Toge, Satoru didn't give detailed explanations.
"I will send you to Jujutsu High School!"
"Ehhhh!!!" Panda exclaimed in surprise.
Moving away from the crowd, Satoru let them stand side by side, then he began writing a mantra surrounding them on the asphalt.
"Geto is there! Definitely, maybe, no doubt about it!"
"Which one?!" Panda complained about Satoru's inconsistency.
"If my intuition is correct, maybe Yuta and Maki could die. Eiji went to India to save his two girlfriends, while I will follow after dealing with that stranger. Protect them both." Satoru said seriously, then clasped his hands together and said, "Sorry, but it's a matter of risking your lives!"
Panda and Toge glanced at each other for a moment, then gave a firm answer without hesitation.
"Ohhh!"
"Salmon!"
*Whoosh*
Next moment, Satoru teleported them both. As a result, the asphalt cracked and produced shockwaves that blew dust and gravel into the air.
Of course, Satoru's actions drew the attention of Jujutsu Sorcerers on Suguru's team.
"Do they realize it?"
"I told you to prepare a decoy." Said the black-skinned Jujutsu Sorcerer named Miguel.
"Random decoys will only have a bad impact. Geto-sama already said so, right?" A logical woman named Suda Manami reasoned.
Because of Satoru's actions, Manami contacted Nanako and Mimiko, saying to expedite their plans.
The two girls were tired of waiting and were happy to start action earlier than planned.
Standing on the roof of a building, Miguel looked down at Satoru on the ground, looking arrogant.
"I am your opponent. Special Grade."
Holding the Black Rope, which was a Cursed Tool equivalent to the Special Grade rank that required generations of his family to weave it, Miguel felt no fear facing the current Strongest Sorcerer, Gojo Satoru.
"Sorry, but I'm in a hurry."
Not intending to play around as usual, Satoru removed the bandage and revealed his Six Eyes, as beautiful as the sky.
The chaos begins.
＊＊＊
On the other hand, Panda and Toge appeared in the sky of Jujutsu High School Tokyo.
Their presence was immediately known by Suguru.
Next, Panda and Toge worked against Suguru. Unfortunately, the power gap between them was too great.
They both suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Suguru.
After the fight, Yuta came to inspect because of the commotion.
Anger surged through him as he saw his friends lying on the floor severely injured, their life and death uncertain.
"Inumaki-kun..."
"Run..." Toge weakly said.
Gritting his teeth, Yuta summoned his girlfriend.
"Come out, Rikka!"
Rikka, in the form of a Cursed Spirit, appeared behind Yuta.
Cursed energy surged, forming a strong gust of wind.
"I will kill you." Suguru grinned without fear.
"I will kill you!" Yuta was blinded by anger.
The battle between Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers began!
