Nighttime.
"Hmm... My wounds should fully heal in two or three more days."
Finishing his meditation, Eiji concluded after evaluating his own body.
If an ordinary person received injuries like his, even if treated in a hospital with the most advanced equipment, he was sure they would be bedridden for at least half a year.
"The only problem is the scars. Even the Reverse Cursed Technique can't remove scars... Never mind, it's a miracle I survived the siege of ten million Cursed Spirits, scars are nothing to worry about."
From the beginning, Eiji wasn't someone who cared about his appearance. Except for his face, his entire body was covered with various large and small scars.
"It's unusual for Siesta not to be back yet. Usually, by this time, she has finished working. Could something have happened to her? That's impossible, she is a heroine, even if something bad happens to her, the protagonist will always come to save her to improve his good impression."
Eiji recalled the plot of Zero no Tsukaima very clearly. Among the heroines, Siesta had no combat power and was rarely involved in dangerous situations.
"What if there is a butterfly effect? My presence might cause changes I don't know about... There's no harm in checking."
After making a decision, he decided to look for Siesta.
During the day, Eiji had explored the Tristain Magic Academy, except for certain areas, he had memorized the places he passed by.
The academy environment at night was quieter than he imagined, not many people were seen except for the maids or patrolling guards.
Eiji leapt from one pillar to another unnoticed by the people walking below him.
'Even though the power scale of this world is very weak, I have to admit the night sky is more impressive compared to other worlds of swords and magic.'
Stopping on one of the pillars, he was mesmerized by the beautiful view of the sky.
Two large moons illuminated the Tristain Magic Academy.
The natives of this world were used to seeing two moons shining in the night sky, they didn't appreciate it as much as Eiji did.
'After my Cursed Energy recovers, I'll leave a world coordinate marker here. Maybe... One day I can bring my girlfriend to enjoy the night sky view.'
Up until now, Eiji still hadn't given up on wanting to live a normal life.
Going to school, working part-time, having a girlfriend, and so on.
He might not be able to do all that in the Jujutsu Kaisen world due to his extraordinary status, but it's not impossible in a slice-of-life world. As long as he hides his true power, he can live normally, right?
'Siesta's body doesn't have magical energy, I can't use the Six Eyes to find her.'
After being satisfied with the view, Eiji continued to wander aimlessly.
'Thank goodness, she's fine.'
A few minutes later, he found Siesta and Saito talking in the laundry area.
Eiji had no intention of revealing himself and just watched from above.
"This is it."
Siesta returned a basin of women's underwear to Saito after he helped her wash them.
"I really appreciate it, before coming here, I never did laundry."
In his world, his clothes were washed by his mother. In this world, Saito was treated like a lackey by Louise.
"By the way, where did Saito come from?"
Recalling Eiji in her room, Siesta wanted to confirm whether Eiji and Saito came from the same place.
"Ah, how should I put it... You could say from a faraway place."
Staring at the two moons shining brightly in the sky, Saito missed his parents.
'The same answer as Eiji.' Thought Siesta.
They talked for a bit before parting, Saito had to deliver the underwear before Louise got angry.
Seeing them take opposite directions, Eiji suddenly remembered a forum post.
"So this is what NTR feels like? I don't feel anything. Well, it makes sense since I don't have any feelings for Siesta."
Shaking his head to dismiss the silly thought, he intended to return to the room before Siesta.

The next day.
After Siesta went to work, Eiji was bored just sitting around in the room.
He had been confined to the Gojo Family residence since childhood. Now that he had gained freedom, staying in one place for long wasn't his style.
Like yesterday, he quietly wandered around the academy.
Passing by a classroom, Eiji peeked in to see a professor teaching the noble students magic theory.
Among the students in the class, there wasn't a single character from the original work. In other words, they were just unimportant mob characters.
After that, Eiji looked into another classroom and finally found the classroom where important characters gathered.
He could see Saito sitting on the floor because Louise did not allow him to sit on a chair that was considered for nobles only.
'Look at their arrogant faces, their noble status was earned by their ancestors, not by themselves. This is why there's no disdain for feudal rule. Everything is determined by lineage, not by the individual's achievements and accomplishments.'
Eiji felt disgusted towards the noble children who boasted about their backgrounds.
Although the Gojo Family could also be considered aristocrats in the Jujutsu Kaisen world, remember that strength is everything. Even in the Zenin Family and the Kamo Family, if their descendants were useless, they weren't valued and would be excluded. Ultimately, strength determined their status within the family.
'That was close, her intuition is very sharp.'
A blue-haired girl with glasses looked in his direction. Unfortunately, Eiji's response was quicker and he moved to another pillar.
'Charlotte Hélène d'Orléans... She is recognized as a genius by the academy and everyone. It seems that it is not just an empty title.'
Even the professor teaching did not notice Eiji's presence, but the girl vaguely felt someone watching.
'I have to be more careful around her, I mustn't let my presence be discovered.'
Stopping his peeking into that classroom, Eiji continued his activity of exploring the Tristain Magic Academy.
