'Hm, I can get used to it...' Megumi is using his phone's front camera to check on the new lines under his eyes. These are the slits of the extra pair of eyes, but he can't open it, even with his fingers so it's not different from a tattoo.
"Are you listening to me, Megumi?!" Ah yes, he was in the Middle of receiving an ear pull from Gojo "Gods, what are you thinking? Eating Sukuna's finger like that?!"
She looks a little flustered... No, the correct words are worried and exasperated.
"Are you still on that? I am still here, right? Relaaaaax~" He tries to calm her. "I know what I'm doing, you can calm down."
Unfortunately, he forgot that the worst way to calm a woman is to say to her to calm down.
She pulls his cheeks, deforming his face, and says through gritted teeth "For some miracle you're still here! Why did you bet like that, huh?"
"Ugh, If notha bef..." After noticing how his words are sounding, he slaps her wrist to release himself "*Ahem* It was not a bet. I had a plan..."
But before he can spin some bullshitery using [Covert Talent], the door to the classroom opens revealing Maki and Mai, who unceremoniously enter without a care.
"What did the idiot do this time?" Maki asks already rolling her eyes.
Apparently, Gojo texted the two, to help tear him off.
"Megumi... What are those things under your eyes? Did you hurt yourself?" Mai gets closer, checking the changes in her boyfriend's face.
"The idiot ate a Special Grade Cursed Object, one of Ryomen Sukuna's fingers, something only one in a thousand people can eat without dying, but even if you survive you would be possessed by the King of Curses..." Gojo is not pulling any punches, laying the truth bare.
'How I can defend myself? Higuruma? Mahoraga? Defend me here!' Megumi screams in his mind
"..." As expected, his two girlfriends first look at Gojo with blank expression. Before their head robotically turned to Megumi... Keeping the blank expression... Shadow covering their eyes.
"Teehee~ Oopsie~" He can only try to appeal to his handsome face, so he tries to lighten the mood by acting cute.
"OOPSIE MY ASS!!" The Gag Punch on the top of the head flies in Megumi's direction while Maki shouts.
But as one that doesn't like cliches on himself, except Pervert Luck, Megumi catches it and spins Maki to hug her from behind.
"Calm down..." He foolishly says again
As expected, Maki escapes from his clutches with an angry expression.
"Why did you do that?!" Maki glares at him
"I was about to explain that... Calm down..." He is an idiot at this point "So... When I was reading about Jujutsu history, I stumbled around Sukuna's lore and all that, I remember at that time thinking 'Oh, I can deal with this' but moved on because I did not care. Then when the mission fell on my lap I remembered that thought, the small thought that 'I'm a counter to this', 'it can work'." He starts spinning his bullshit
"So you went and ate a Special Grade Cursed Object?"
"Obviously no, I didn't go there with that intention..." He lies easily "I went there with that thought, and to check my theory. A theory that becomes almost a certainty when I held Sukuna's finger... 'yep, I can deal with it' I figured out."
"Almost?!" His words don't appear to convince Maki
"How did you do that? How are you not possessed?" Gojo asks
"It's a simple case of storing Sukuna's conscious/soul, whatever it is, in pocket space similar to my Inventory. Isolate him in a Dark Abyss. Even having Mahoraga Adapting to the situation so that no complications happen. Now I'm in a slow process, the wheel slowly turning, while my body slowly adapts to Sukuna's power while isolating his consciousness..."
"..."
To their silence, he gives them a warm smile "With this I can solve this big evil that haunted the world a thousand years ago... When I eat the rest of Sukuna's remains I will deal with his consciousness through a Ritual, ending Sukuna once and for all."
"..."
"Bullshit, you're not that altruistic!" Maki calls him out
He raises his hands in the air in surrender "And if you know that, you know that I did not did do that with the intention of sacrificing myself..."
"..."
After finally silencing them, he chuckles "With this, I will at least increase my reserves of Cursed Energy while doing some good, two birds." Now he has an excuse for his even-growing reserves "And maybe gain some other bonus."
"..."
"How is your... bond? Symbiotic relationship? This thing that you have with him..." Gojo points unsure
"Hmm, he is trapped in my mind... He kinda made an Innate Domain inside the Pocket Domain that I trapped him."
"Can he escape?" Mai asks
"I will not say that it's impossible because nothing is impossible, but it' as improbable as Gojo-sensei losing to Utahime in a 1V1."
"So it's possible..."
""No it's not"" Megumi and Gojo says at the same time
"By the way, you said that you are using Mahoraga... Are you in a constant state of Totality?" Gojo turns to him
"That! It's what I want everyone to believe!" He raises a finger "It's not hard to keep Sukuna in check, but I want people to think I can't summon Mahoraga now because I'm sealing Sukuna." He gives them a smile. A smile they know too well...
"...you are fishing for trouble, right?" Gojo deadpans at him
"Teehee~" He smiles sheepishly again
"..."
"..."
"..."
After a long period of time Gojo finally relents with a long sigh "*haaah* Whatever, now what is done is done... By the way, the higher-ups want to talk and as a punishment, I will send you to explain yourself."
"Fair enough." He doesn't care, he finally can mark them
"But before that... Here, eat this." Gojo raises her hand, showing a big and red shriveled Figner at him.
"Ugh, this is the thing that you ate? Gross." Mai's face contorts in disgust
"It's not that bad, it tastes like a bar of soap and disappears before reaching your stomach." Megumi says casually before grabbing the finger and unceremoniously throwing it in his mouth.
For a moment he thought about trolling them, acting like Sukuna took over, but seeing their face he wisely(finally) decided against it. Being hacked by a Special Grade Tool or tanking a Red on the face is not how he wants the day to end.
"See? Safe~" He says as casually as possible as Sukuna's tattoos flare on his skin before fading. "Ah, I should've made him eat it."
"He can do that?" Maki asks
"Nice tattoos by the way..." Mai adds at the side
"Apparently he has a certain level of self-biokinesis. He can manifest an extra mouth on my body because he has two faces." He answers Maki's question
"Did you talk with him?" Gojo asks, suddenly interested
"Obviously, I needed to check who is living in my body."
"So can you let us talk with him for some seconds? It will be a test if you can really control it..."
"Oh... I can do that... Let me..." He closes his eyes to look at himself internally, trying to see if he can seal his abilities so that Sukuna can't access them.
It's possible, Sukuna can't use anything he owns except his strong body...
While his eyes are closed, the tattoos start appearing again and then Megumi opens his eyes... His four eyes, and they shine as red as blood.
"What? Fushiguro Megumi said that someone wants to talk with me..." His face is the same but the aura around his body is completely different. He dismissively talked while not even looking at them directly, Sukuna was checking his own hands, closing and opening them, like he was trying to feel something "But I will not refuse a chance to see the outside world..."
Maki instinctively puts Mai behind her. Lowering herself a little in a fighting stance. Gojo is also prepared.
Sukuna finally looks up at them.
"Hmm, is this the standard of this new era?" Sukuna asks in a somewhat impressed voice. This is probably a big praise coming from him.
His eyes focus on the empty air for some time before he says again "Ah, so this is the elite? Alright then..." He is talking with Megumi on his head
"Oh~ I never would have expected to have a civil conversation with the great Sukuna~" Gojo grins "I would ask for a spar, but I would win too easily because you're too weak now." She sighs regretfully
"Ah?! So a thousand years is enough time for jujutsu sorcerers to grow very bold, huh? Wait till I control this body and I will kill you first?"
The Strongest Sorcer of History and the Strongest Sorcerer of Today glaring at each other.
There's a certain magnetism drawing the two to the battlefield, like is some sort of destiny... Or maybe is engraved on the Strong's body and mind, the desire to fight someone on the same level or stronger.
"!" Suddenly Megumi shudders, his eyes widen a little, and then the tattoos fade away
"Don't start throwing hands with my body in the Middle." Megumi comes back saying "Argh, I will block you again..." This time he appears to be answering Sukuna inside him.
After tapping his head a few more times he turns to the girls
"See? All under control..." He opens his arms with a warm smile "Am I forgiven?" He reaches to hug and kiss the twins.
"Nope!" Maki stops him by putting her hand on his head "I'm still angry because of your recklessness..."
"And I'm not gonna kiss you after you ate a Special grade Cursed Tool.." Mai adds
"In truth, be ready for some abstinence from now on..." Maki declares
"!"
"You need to learn." Mai adds with a nod
Megumi is so shocked that he appears frozen in time.
"And like... Can Sukuna see what you see? Feel what you feel?" Mai continues by asking
"Yeah, what if you lose control and... Ugh, gross."
"That... that... I made sure that will never happen..." Megumi says with an agonizing voice. He spent a lot of credits in extra defenses just to make sure.
"Sorry, Megumi. I love you, but till we trust him a little more... No se-*Ahem* No nothing."
"Hmpf, this will be your punishment."
"You can endure till your deal with Sukuna, right?"
"But... But that can take months... Years..." He is trembling now
"You should have thought about that before hosting a 1000-year-old man in your body." Maki scoffs "And that's gay! There's a guy inside you."
"..."
Megumi finally collapses, his body hits the ground, and the clear sound of his heart shattering reaches everyone's ears.
"..." Gojo approaches him and puts a hand over his heart. "He's dead." She declares solemnly, closing his eyes.
Then clasping her hands together in a prayer.
.....
Megumi P.O.V.
"A sex strike... Against moi?" I grumble while walking to meet the higher-ups. "Hmpf, I will go to Kyoto and seduce Utahime and the other girls then..." I am absolutely not pouting!
Well, they are not that wrong... When I ate the finger I made sure that Sukuna couldn't see the outside, because it bothers me too. I'm not a cuck. I know that he can't, but they don't...
They will eventually come around, I can wait. I'm not a sex-starved beast, Maki is.
*Haah* I'm such an understanding boyfriend, is not for nothing that I deserve a harem...
"We are here." The one guy that was Leading me says before stopping in front of a door and leaving without saying a word.
He is one of those guys, you know? That answers directly to the higher-ups. Probably from a different unit from Ijichi-san and the others, who are closer to the sorcerers.
I bet that was one of them who watched my battle with Geto and reported everything that happened, and eventually passed it to the Zen'in clan. Useless bunch.
At least now I know the path to get here. Unless they use Tengen's barriers too, to hide themselves?
Without ceremony or any respect whatsoever, I open the door and enter that recognizable meeting place. A dimly lit circular place, the higher-ups sitting behind wall of Papers in a circle where I stand in the Middle like I'm ina trial.
Power plays... So annoying... Do they know that I can kill them?
This is probably how Anakin felt when he met the Jedi Council, a bunch of older people judging him, making him feel inferior or guilty just by existing.
Keeping my hands in my pockets, I walk to the Middle without showing any worry and wait there. If they expect a greeting, it's good that they're waiting while sitting...
"..."
"..."
Oh, the silence treatment~ Ah man, power plays are such a waste of time... But I don't like to lose, so I'm not gonna say anything first, and not even show that I'm annoyed by it.
After some more seconds, that felt like minutes, I took my phone out of my pocket and started using it in front of them
You old cogs, don't underestimate the Gen Z ability to not give a fuck. If you want to keep my attention, at least put a Subway Surfers video somewhere.
"Fushiguro Megumi. Do you know your crime?" An annoyed aged voice says a little louder than I expected. Someone is angry~
"Crime? Nope. Never heard of any of it." I say calmly
"Don't act innocently, boy!" Someone slapped the ground or something. I will also not comment on the "boy" thing.
"...oh~, you're talking about Sukuna's finger!" I act like I just now realized "But I'm still in the dark why is that a problem..." I continue, returning to my flat face
"You continue to act Oblivious!" Another one says in outrage
"You ate Sukuna's finger." This time is a woman's voice, she talks in a condescending tone like she is explaining to her grandchild that cellphones are bad.
"...and?" I like pissing them off. I udnerstand Gojo now.
"You!"
The truth is... They are beating around the bush. There's no crime, no law against me eating Sukuna's finger or anything. They just wanted me to admit that I did something wrong so that they could continue this circus in a trial-like situation, with me in a disadvantageous position.
"...me?" I just raise an eyebrow.
Go on. Say it. Say how it's wrong. You can't, right?
"You're wasting our time!" Another one says.
There's the thing that they do. There is not only one presiding over this meeting, everyone talks a little, I think they agreed to always allow the other to speak.
And that is another power play... Because of the positioning where I stay in the middle of a semi-circle, I can't see all of them at the same time. So they talk in turn to make me turn around to look at them.
And that's why I have been looking forward since the beginning.
The last one that talked was on my diagonal behind me, but I addressed him while still looking forward.
"You're the ones wasting my time..." I say calmly, time to start arguing back "By the work contract of a Jujutusu Sorcerer: 'The Jujutsu Sorcerer can keep in his possession any item without an owner retrieved during a mission'."
"But Sukuna's finger was the objective of the Mission!" Another one behind me argues back
"Then consider the mission a failure and do not pay me... Why are we even here again?" I answer in the same flat tone
"..." Cat got your tongue, bitch?
The only things that you guys have control over are my salary and my Grade classification... Tell me again what happens when I do not care about any of those things? Ah yes, You have no power then!
"Sukuna's finger's are special case... It's a dangerous Cursed Object." Another one continues, now they are talking more softly, aligning their view with public safety and morals, to make me the bad guy by default.
"It can bring endless trouble...
"And put many lives at risk if this matter is not dealt with properly" See?
I am good at this, maybe I don't need [Communication Talent] after all. Or is it simply because this whole situation is so cliche?
"Aren't I right here? Completely fine? Isn't this proof enough that I have things under control?" Let's start arguing, I'm already tired of this...
"But for how long?? What guarantees do we have that you can keep Sukuna's possession under control?" Another predictable path in their argumentation
"Again, the fact I'm still here... If it hadn't happened yet, it will not happen in the future." I say
"You can not be sure of that!"
"I'm the guy that started and thought about trapping Sukuna in the first place... and succeeded. Don't I have a little of credibility?" I scoff "Just because you can't do it, or can't even imagine it, it doesn't mean that it is impossible for other people. We're Jujutsu Sorcerers, for god's sake." I talk back a little more passionately
"..." They pause again
I really want to end this shit now, because I'm still a little bummed by the twin's decision of withholding sex(if these guys give me a reason I will beat them up), so let's jump to the end because I can see that these old bastards love their own voices and making fast decisions are their kryptonite.
"I will tell you what I'm gonna do... I'm gonna continue searching for and eating Sukuna's fingers, with little intervals between them to be careful and placate everyone's worries, and when I eat all of them, I will erase Sukuna for good, or die trying. In truth, even if I don't succeed I will take him down with me..." A little white lie
Putting a hand on over my heart I continue righteously "I don't mind dying for this, to end the reign of terror imposed by the existence of Sukuna. His possible return will haunt us forever if I do nothing... No, I say. Let's end this in this generation!"
I use this moment to massage a little their egos. I don't mind throwing them a bone...
You guys want it, right? To see the threat of Sukuna end during your reign? I bet you guys want it? Right? Good boys~ Who are the good boys who do nothing and love taking credit? You all are~ Who wants to go down in history as an important person? You all~ That's right~ Good boys~
After that, I explain in detail, with a lot of lies, how I'm trapping Sukuna and the fact(lie) that I can't summon Mahoraga. I know Kenjaku has a mole here... I bet one of them would be at my side anyway because Kenjaku wants Sukuna to exist.
After I waste my saliva, finally the matter is settled. I can continue my search for Sukuna's fingers, I can mobilize the workers like Ijichi-san for this, I will receive the fingers that are guarded periodically... I don't mind about this last part, because I'm waiting for them to be stolen anyway.
Finally, this shit show ended... It's what I would like to say...
"It's appropriate that you made a Binding Vow to ensure the termination of Sukuna incase you fail. Including your execution..." Someone has to push, right?
They want me to make a Binding Vow... Me?
There's a way to circumvent that shit, but trying to force me...
"PFFFT zehahaAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I can't help but giving them my answer in the form of a full-blown laugh.
"Fushiguro Megumi! Behave yourself!"
"No! You behave yourself! Behave like the fucking figureheads that you guys are!" I snap releasing my cursed energy. The candles are blown away and the room gets incredibly darker. I can feel their palpitation.
They are not totally useless yet. They can fight... But they will lose.
"I'm doing you all a favor, so stop complicating things. You can't kill me even if you want to." They know what I did in the Zen'in clan "I have no intention of dying, so I will deal with Sukuna. Don't worry about that, just enjoy your last years in power and thank the gods that me and Gojo are waiting patiently for all of you to die naturally before taking over!"
"Isn't that a good deal? Isn't everyone winning?" I open my arms to ask them, finally turning around so that they can see my face "Don't make me speed up the process..." I threaten slowly and in a low dark voice.
"..." After finally looking at all of them, and no one raising an objection, I'm satisfied. Their ego wouldn't allow them to agree formally, so this is the best I can get.
I start walking off with my hands in my pockets
"Don't get in my way and give my fucking Special Grade Id, I want to flex."
Fun fact: A Special Grade salary never stops no matter what, even if you do nothing. That's why they've been withholding it from me till now.
...
"I think I'm almost reaching Nirvana..." I comment while staring at the ceiling of my room.
Some weeks have passed since I became Sukuna's host and the twins kept their word. No sex.
"So this is what No Nut November is all about?... I feel like I can float now..." I'm for real almost hitting that Gojo High pose when he fought against my dad "I never thought my Enlightnement would come from semen retention..."
To be fair, beyond the sex, the girls are acting normal. We go out on dates, cuddle, and talk, I receive lap pillows and all that.
"But I'm horny..." I whine.
And I know they are too.
That one time that I got out of the bath shirtless, I almost heard Maki's womb pulsating, but she didn't give in.
"Damn, stubborn woman..." I'm stubborn too.
Now we are basically competing to see who holds for longer.
"I don't like this game..." I groan again
Mahoraga adapts to my full balls... Wait, this is gay.
I'm starting to regret not adding boobs or curves on Ankoku.
"I should have 'painted' her with that Mew-two build..."
Why aren't you a woman Mahoraga? Does [Universal Calibration] mean nothing to you? Is it because it would count as masturbation?
Should I make Merged Beast Agito? That thing has no right to be that thicc... Sukuna you pervy.
Talking about Sukuna....
.....
Little Flasback, Sukuna's Inner Domain
"Why the hell are you here? To gloat about my powerlessness?" Sukuna's asks me from his throne of skulls
"I was bored..." I shrug while piling a bunch of skulls in a tower "Just checking your 'seal'. Making sure that you can't see or hear anything outside... Then a thought occurred in me... You must be pretty bored right now." I point at him to accentuate my words
"Are you pitying me now?" He shows an annoyed expression... Damn, my face is beautiful in any way...
"Nope. I just kind of remembered a talk that I had with a friend of mine long ago" In my other life "About death. He was recommending me a good manga with a unique take on death... What is the name again? Hm~ Ah, Saihate no Paladin! In the manga, death is stagnation. Obviously, the stagnation of the body is the most common and popular death, but you can be dead while breathing."
I go back to pile the skulls while explaining "If you do nothing, you're dead. If you don't progress in some way, you're dead. Like these Hikikomori- Ah! You don't know the term... Depressive people who do nothing in their rooms. What I'm trying to say is that if you stop... You die. Being alive means that you're moving around, learning, seeing new things..." Then after making a good and tall tower of skulls, I point at him "At this moment, you're as good as dead!"
"..." He only looks at me with impassive eyes, all alone in this place.
"I was not here just playing with these skulls like a toddler in a sandbox. I was figuring out how to manifest my memories here so..." I pause to concentrate and suddenly a lot of books and a TV appear "You can watch everything I watched now. It will be a bore if you don't catch my references and memes, you Super Boomer."
"It appears that in a thousand years, people really forgot the things I've done..." He says while eyeing me carefully
"Are you talking about killing and eating people and all that? Nope, it's passed down from Generation to Generation. The Terror of the Great Sukuna, the Sorcerer that is more Curse than Man. OoOOooo~" I mockingly make a scared show while shaking my arms in the air.
"And here you are, acting all friendly... Hoping that I will spare you when I look down over your limbless body?" He asks
"Pfft, if you do that, I will look down on you." I scoff "The thing is... whatever vile thing you did... you never did to me, so why should I care?" I ask in genuine curiosity. No one is 100% good to everyone, it's a part of life, you need to step on other people's dreams and ambitions to step upwards... Oh, look at me talking like Blackbeard~
"!" I can see Sukuna's eyes widening a little before he bursts out in a laugh "Hahahaha!"
"...see? Staying alone here is already rotting your brain." I say before disappearing
A Naruto-Kurama relationship is impossible, but I literally came from nowhere to destroy the poor guy... Imagine concocting a 1000-year plan and being fucked over by a Cheater that read ahead?
The least I can do is let him watch One Piece.
End of the Flashback
........
"Ugh~ Should I go annoy Sukuna a little?" I continue here, looking at the ceiling.
Stagnated... Dead inside.
With a sigh, I finally stand up in a single swift move.
"Let's train." It is never a waste to train.
First, let's jog a lot to burn this "energy".
Putting on a tracksuit, black, of course, I walk out of the dorm, and with a dash, I start running.
Let's go with no breaks to put some strain on this body.
...
After a good training, not enough for me to grow in power, but enough for me to stretch around and feel the full extension of my abilities, I return to the dormitory.
I'm getting better at Anti-domain techniques. The day that I can keep them up perfectly while fighting and using my "out of context" powers is the day that I can defeat Sukuna and Gojo without a shadow of a doubt.
"Hm? Back from a mission?" I noticed Maki was getting some drinks from a machine in the lobby of the dorm. She was accompanied by Mai, because they always do these missions together.
"Yes, and you're training alone." She looks at my sweaty state
"Well, that's not the only thing I've been doing alone these days..." I tease her with my best pervy smile "Here, my most recent girlfriend... Say hello." I raise my hand at them.
That's a little lie, I do not do it alone.
"Gross." Mai comments while looking at my hand.
"Hey, don't talk like that to Hand-chan."
"So you're that desperate, huh? Finally thinking that eating that finger was a bad idea?" Maki mocks back, crossing her arms under her boobs... Those soft boobs... Perky mounds of... Ugh. That's how you want to play woman?
"Never. I stand behind my actions... Someone once said that it is preferable to regret things that you have done than things that you haven't done." I say while stepping into her personal space "And you? Missing me already? I can pity you and let you lick my sweaty abs now... If you ask nicely~"
"You wish! But if you admit that you're wrong and promise to be a good boy from now on, I can sit on your face." She talks back with the same heat.
"Just get a room already." Mai rolls her eyes at the side. Mai supports Maki on this, like a good sister, even though she is not that stubborn.
I think it is a good sign that my harem is so united, right? I remember reading somewhere that a good strategy to keep a harem is to let the women fight among themselves… They will fight for your attention and never fight you. Keeping them on their toes.
On my side, I prefer a harmonious harem. Yes, they can unite against me, but the pros outweighs that… threesomes and moresomes.
"..." Maki and I continue to eye-fucking each other right now. Too horny to move away, too stubborn to move forward.
When I was preparing my next line to keep her hot and bothered, someone called me.
"Hello girls and boy! I'm searching for Fushiguro-kun!" I recognize that way of saying "boy" anywhere.
I turn around to confirm my suspicions, an unexpected visit from Tsukumo Yuki. Unexpected, but makes sense if you think about it.
"And that would be me..." I give her a long look.
Hm, tall and fit, just a point of two beneath Maki in the muscular aspect.
"Oho~, I knew it! Before getting to the point let me ask you something..." Here it comes, I was prepared for this question since day one " What is your type of woman?" She claps one time and points her finger at me while closing an eye. Is she striking a cute pose?
"You" I answer without hesitation
"..."*Jiiiii* I can see the twins' eyes boring holes into me
"Hahaha!" Yuki gives a good-natured laugh to my answer, something a big sister would do if a kid said that he would marry her.
"Well, Todo asked me the same question, but the answer is long..." I explain "Let me start then..."
"Oh no..."
"Not again..."
The twins groan in unison while I start my passionate speech.
[5000 words omitted]
....
"Hahahaha, you're funny, Fushiguro-kun." After my long speech, me and Yuki are sitting together on a bench in the lobby.
Isn't this how Geto snapped? I will check later if I will leave this conversation with genocidal thoughts.
At the side, Maki and Mai are staring at us two while leaning on a wall... Now you're jealous. As a friend of mine would say "it is not the fence that keeps the bull inside, it is the pasture".
After finally controlling her laughter, Yuki releases a long and satisfied sigh before reclining herself.
"Tsk Tsk, I open my heart to you and you laugh at my face..." I shake my head morosely
"Hehe~. Sorry sorry, I was not laughing at you, just the way you said it was hilarious." She slaps my shoulder with a big smile on her face, acting all familiar.
She looks like one of those popular girls who is friends with everyone.
Oh, look at Maki glaring... Ah yes, she is a little defensive against Mature women. She still doesn't have that mature charm, so she can't compete in this aspect.
"By the way, my type of man is the hard-working and Muddy." Yuki says while pointing at her chest with a thumb
"Muddy?" Mai asks confused
"Yeah, Muddy. The rough country boys... The type that doesn't mind dirtying their hands if it means doing the job." She explains
"Dirtying their hands to complete the job, huh?" Maki slowly says while her head turns to me,
"Hardworking, huh?" Mai does the same.
Why are you looking at me? I'm a refined gentleman, not muddy. I'm a hard worker tho.
Thinking about Megumi is kinda her type... Wait a minute... Being Yuki type without even trying... Having that past with that Angel girl... An Onee-chan that is not related by blood... Mai also had a crush on him... (And to the fujoshi's, Sukuna is into him)
Damn, Megumi had that Harem MC energy!
Tsk Tsk, the guy really is a waste of potential...
"That's what I come to talk with you, Fushiguro-kun." Yuki continues "I heard that you ate Sukuna's finger and are ready to take him down for good... pretty sexy~" She gives me a nice and conspiratorial smile
Hm~, me likey~
"Just doing my job as a Jujutsu Sorcerer, it's my responsibility to end this threat when I have the tools to do so." I say so full of righteousness that I can feel the golden halo of providence shining before me. My own voice became deeper without me thinking.
"Hmpf" And to that Maki scoffs loudly
"...and I have everything under control." I confess. No need to hide that I am selfish "And if everything goes well, I may gain some powers from the King of Curses. Not a bad bet."
"I see, it takes a lot of balls to do that." She comments
"A little..." Mostly because I rejected the easy way of defeating Sukuna while he was in his 10-fingers state(minimum to the mission) and decided to fight him at his strongest.
"It's nice to see someone that is at least doing something nowadays." Yuki sighs
"You should go talk with Gojo then... And aren't you the one that does not do missions?" I raise an eyebrow during my accusation
"Hahaha!" She puts a hand behind her head and laughs bashfully "I talked with Gojo-chan a little... And it's not like I'm running from work, I exorcise curses sometimes... but I never report it. I stay away from Jujutsu Society because I'm going around the country, and even the world, searching for a solution to the problem instead of doing patchwork..."
She gets a little more serious while she explains things that I already know. How the curse problem will never stop, and there are two ways to make a human not generate uncontrollable cursed energy that will eventually create a curse.
Everyone becoming a Jujutsu Sorcerer or...
"...like your Father, having no cursed energy at all."
"Like Maki here then." I say
Yuji turns to the standing and grumpy Maki. "Oh, so you're Maki-chan, I also want to meet you and Okkotsu-Kun if I have the chance." Yuki greets, all smiles
"Hn" Maki nods in acknowledgment
Yuki continues unbothered by Maki's unfriendly demeanor "I have this theory that maybe people like your Father and Maki-chan here are the next natural step of human evolution. They are much better than us physically, right?" Talk for yourself "Hm, now that I think about it, very rare for this to happen so 'close' and 'fast'..." She pauses to think
"It's a Zen'in clan thing, don't think much about it..." I wave my hand dismissively
"Oh really? But this is exactly what I want to think about!" Her face flies close to mine "There's all type of Heavenly Restriction... Two so similar and so..."
"Perfect?" I complete to her
"Perfect! So similar and perfect happening in the same family it's something worth investigating. Hehe~ I knew coming here was not a waste of time, thank you for the clues." She smiles happily
Some seconds pass before the smile slips a little off her face "I had this same talk with Geto-chan, you know? She ended up coming up with the crazy idea of committing genocide. Haha~" Don't laugh at that, I will not put all the blame on you, but that epiphany was sped up because of you "And you, Fushiguro-kun? How you would solve this problem?" She finally asks me
Sincerely I don't give a single fuck... So problematic, why should I care about those random people?
I will only care about it if I end up conquering Yuki and she really wants to do it, then I will help. Because I'm a supportive boyfriend/husband
"First, I don't think turning everyone into a Perfect Heavenly Restriction would work."
"Why?"
"It sounds extra complicated... The person has to have Cursed Energy first and then get rid of it. If it's like that, just do half the step and awaken Cursed Energy in the person." I explain "If it's really the next step of Evolution or whatever I don't know. If it happens naturally, good... But I bet it would take millennia."
"Hmm." Yuki supports her chin between her fingers, her mouth pursed in a contemplative expression.
"I would try to make everyone Sorcerers." I give my answer "But this would also create another whole set of troubles... First, I know that it is possible because Cursed Techniques are ignited in a certain part of the human brain. At least we have something physical to touch and work with, so maybe it's possible to perform a surgery that can awaken someone's capabilities as a sorcerer? It will need a lot of study and experimentation, but it is possible. The other problem is the logistics, performing that surgery on 7 billion people... Ugh, and then there would be the chaos... 7 billion sorcerers. A good chunk of them with cursed techniques. The whole societal structure would change. I'm getting tired only by thinking about it..." I sigh loudly and recline myself too.
I can say many easier ways to do that, but that would reveal my meta-knowledge.
"..." Yuki looks at me for some time
"What?"
"Hehe, you're talkative when you want, huh?" She laughs and slaps my back again
I shrug my shoulders "You asked..."
"But that was interesting thinking, and yes I can imagine the chãos of so many new sorcerers... But maybe making it slowly can diminish the most unwanted problems. You're at least different from Geto-chan who simply decided to kill everyone, Haha"
"I wouldn't say that I'm a better person than her... I simply believe that everyone should at least have a chance to fight for their space in the world. Even if chaos happens... let it happen, Society would re-structure itself on its own."
"Hm, a very Dawinist way of thinking, Fushiguro-kun."
"You can call me Megumi. And yes, but Society is competition... If everyone is a Sorcerer, the only difference is that we would see more fist fights than silent competitions, like in politics, or studies..."
After we talk a little more, Yuki finally stands up.
"Well, the talk was very good, but it's time for me to. I will check on Ieiri-chan before hitting the road to ask about the brain of a Sorcerer." She turns to me after walking a little and blows a kiss "*Chu* Bye bye, Megumi-kun~ continue your hard work ~"
"I hate to see you leave, But I love watching you go..." I say while blatantly giving a look at her perky backside
This only earned me a laugh from her "Hahaha! I like honest boys too!"
She continues to walk away... Is she swaying her hips a little more, or I am too conceited to think she is doing that to me?
And damn, those jeans are practically painted on her ass... I can't take my eyes off it.
I didn't even notice Maki glaring at me.
"She is strong..." She finally says in an even voice
"She can actually kill me." That's the highest praise I can give someone in this world.
At this point, only her Suicide Black Hole attack and Gojo's Purple can actually kill me... Maybe Sukuna's arrow too?
Not even Yuta Love Cannon can do it anymore. I'm that tough.
But I think my words had a different meaning to Maki because she grabbed me by the collar.
"Are you sure Sukuna can't see or hear anything outside?" She asks with an intense glare
"Yes..."
"Good." Then she started dragging me away, in the direction of the female dorms.
Well, well... Someone wants to mark her territory~
Thanks, Yuki. You're my lucky star.
I will help you in saving the world...
If I have the time, or if you marry me
....
Extra
Outside a Crematorium, a teenage boy with pink hair watches the smoke swirl to the sky with a blank expression.
Itadaori Yuji is alone in the world and he is finally feeling the weight of the situation on his shoulders. His grandpa's last words resonated in his ears...
To try to not die alone like him.
But here he is at square zero, not even knowing where to start.
Maybe he will follow the other suggestions and become an athlete or something. He bets his hypothetical future fans would mourn his eventual death.
"Oh~, poor Yuji... I should've come earlier..." A sorrowful voice breaks him of his reverie
"Do I know you?" He asks confused
"It's a very long story... But, I'm your mother." The female monk with stitches on her forehead smiles gently at him.
