- Silas -
At this point all of us were confused. The guy sensed it and explained to us.
"I was cursed. You just somehow broke my curse. Please don't feel bad about it."
Ohhh.
Ohhhh. That made sense. Touma's power negation actually removed his curse.
And being a budding expert on curses, I enquired about his story.
The people around were shocked for a moment before they gathered around the new guy Zeref to know his story.
Zeref Dragneel explained a bit about himself.
His family was killed in a dragon attack when he was still a kid. Both his parents and a younger brother died.
I saw Tohru shifting awkwardly in her place at the mention of the incident.
When he grew up, he learned magic and started researching ways to bring back the dead and invented a type of magic which broke some laws.
This caused him to get cursed by the God of Death.
I felt a chill down my spine.
To be cursed by a God….seriously….
It seems that his world was far more dangerous than the ones I knew of.
On the other hand, I felt pity for the man.
Zeref seemed like a very kind person.
Losing his entire family might be a shock for anyone and this guy was just trying to get back his family.
While trying to break taboos is bad, this kind of curse was just too cruel.
Especially for someone like Zeref, who wanted to live a peaceful life, that kind of a curse….was probably the worst thing which could happen to him.
And it wasn't even the worst part yet.
Due to the deaths the curse had caused, he was regarded a Black Wizard and shunned by the world.
And then, after over hundreds of years of living a lonely life, he gets a lover and even she was afflicted by the same curse due to using some magic to save a friend of hers.
I suddenly felt annoyed at the God.
This explained why he was so grateful to have the curse removed from him.
"Zeref, I don't know how it worked but if you want, I can help your lover too. My power is to negate the powers of those I touch. I can try using this and see if it works." Touma offered. "I still don't know the exact range of my powers so I can't say anything for sure."
The man's eyes widened slightly and he nodded. "Thank you."
"Yes. While not much, I have been studying about purifying curses too. I don't know if we can do anything against a curse from a God but I assure you that we will do our best." I reassured the guy too.
He bowed deeply at us.
"Thank you. I cannot thank you all enough for the favour you have done me."
The atmosphere soon became calmer as we all settled down.
I served the guy some food to celebrate him being free of the curse which had hounded him for years….probably centuries.
"But that really scared me. I thought that the kid messed up." Kensei laughed and we joined in awkwardly while I gave Touma some water.
The other customers explained to Zeref about the shop while I took a seat nearby to hear the stories.
"Still I didn't expect this kind of place to exist. A restaurant connecting several worlds and that too run by a demon. In my world, Demons are mostly cruel and lean towards destruction and chaos. So to see one who is this different….it is really a surprise."
….
….
"Say what?"
- Yaga Masamichi -
He stood in front of the higher ups from the Jujutsu High however, today, the situation had changed.
Back then, he was expecting an execution due to the mess at Shibuya and Gojo getting sealed.
It was not a secret how much these bastards wanted to get their hands on his techniques.
In fact, they had even announced his house arrest and that was the main reason why he had to run away with Gojo.
But ever since the day Sakura had awakened….
He still felt chills recalling the incident.
Who would have thought that the girl they had helped would be that strong? Even from so far away, he could feel the enormous Cursed Energy of that girl.
Just the fact that her awakening and casually releasing her Cursed Energy had almost shattered the entire countrywide barrier over Japan was a terrifying thought.
And she could control curses and even become stronger, not to mention her incredible talent which surpassed even Yuta.
They had all devoted all their efforts to find out the reason behind it, and with some help from Kisuke Urahara, the man from a different world, they found some clues in the notes of the madman whom Gojo had killed.
The history of the Matou or rather Makiri family and that monster Zouken….
How Sakura was actually adopted and had the Matou blood forced on her, of all the atrocities she had to go through for the twisted pleasure and goals of that madman, the Grail Wars and finally about the corrupted grail manifesting the spirit of a real God.
A God.
Those madmen actually tried to mess with the spirit of an actual God and not just any God but the King of Daemons who bore the six billion curses of the world, the source of All the World's Evil, Angra Mainyu.
Suddenly a twenty finger Sukuna felt tame.
There was however a ray of hope which was Sakura's ability to control it.
They had hypothesised several things and found out that the whole reason for this was based in the Matou trait of Absorption.
Although they had removed most if not all of the tainted grail from her, the girl's body had absorbed the power and coming to their world and awakening her Cursed Energy was the final trigger for the insane event.
In all, it was several, almost impossible facts coming together to work in just the right way to give the girl her powers.
Gojo had verified that she was not being possessed and the fact that she practically followed every word of the shop owner Silas, they considered her safe.
It was one of the reasons why they were investing so much effort to train her to control her powers.
In the past month and half, no one had gone there to check the source of that power.
They were too busy fending off the curses which had started increasing at an unbelievable rate. For now, they had decided to put aside their scheming and work together to get through this crisis.
Many were of the belief that some old Curse had ascended but the fact that the power was not felt after made people confused.
That, coupled with Gojo's return and specifically guarding the area had deterred these people from taking any action against him and the students.
And Satoru took this opportunity to lay out some conditions for his continued services since they had already declared him as a Curse User before. So if they wanted his help, they must pay the price.
"Has that brat gone crazy?"
"Who does he think he is?"
"Do you think that the Jujutsu world will bow to your wishes?"
"You are colluding with him too?"
As expected, there was commotion at the demand.
"Arrest this man!" Someone commanded.
He let out a sigh inwardly.
At this time, a voice sounded in the place.
"See, I told you Sensei. There was no use. I should have directly erased them back then. Even when under such a condition, they still think more of themselves than the rest of the world."
"Gojo Satoru! Are you rebelling?" One of them shouted, being at the end of their wits.
"Rebelling? Hahahahahaha that's the funniest thing I have heard in such a long time."
Satoru faced them.
"Rebelling against whom? You people?" He walked towards them. "Who exactly are you people? Just a bunch of living fossils too far beyond their expiry date." He mocked. "Oh yes. I remember.You people are the higher ups of the Jujutsu community. So scary. But then again, I am a Curse User, right? So we are enemies. Why are we even arguing then? Let's get this over with." he turned back. "Will you be staying, Sensei?"
He let out a sigh and walked out and a moment later, blasts occurred inside the room and Satoru walked out.
"The trash has been cleaned. Please choose some proper ones next time. I recommend you and old man Gakuganji." With that said, he just disappeared from the scene.
A few minutes later, several of the students came rushing at the scene.
He took a deep breath and walked forward to take control of the situation.
- Interlude - Sukuna's Isekai Adventures -
He threw one of the books aside in anger.
Useless.
Everything left here was useless.
Maybe the only good thing was in the underground….the black mud which attracted him like nothing else.
Even just touching the mud made his power increase by a bit but the increase was not stable.
So he tried to research more about what it was but there wasn't anything left in this accursed place that could tell him.
On the other hand, the boy was somehow binding himself onto his soul. Was it his Innate Technique?
If this goes on, he will have a harder time controlling him in the future. Even now, the resistance by the boy increases.
He needed to find a safer body to explore this world.
A whole new world.
He couldn't help but smile.
What a discovery.
And that Restaurant.
The owner of that place….he could travel to all these worlds.
Suddenly, he had a plan. The ideal vessel for his soul….the Restaurant owner, Silas.
Too bad that place was protected by Satoru Gojo right now and the current him was not in a state to fight him or he would have slaughtered everyone of them when he had spied them destroying his fingers.
But now, with his fingers destroyed, he needed to find other ways to strengthen himself from this world before he could attempt such a thing.
Until then, he couldn't go near that place. Not to mention, there were lots of dangers in this world as well.
He could sense that enormous aura on the other side of the town.
So, what should he do?
He looked at the black mud in front of him and then with a smile, stabbed his heart, plucking and throwing it out.
The boy inside his mind started to shout in panic at the scene.
Appearing in the shared mindscape, he smiled.
"Shut up and listen to me if you want a way to live."

Author's Note:
I am back with another chapter of the 'Isekai Restaurant'.
Zouken was toyed with by both Gojo and Kisuke.
A fitting death according to me for such a guy.
Sakura awakens and the JJK world is in chaos.
Gojo finally decided to take things into his own hands.
And so did Sukuna.
Silas is still trying to figure out what his Innate Cursed technique is.
On the other hand, Zeref is here and Silas' life is going to get turned upside down.
The dragon maid is also in the house.
And amidst all this, Shadow-sama blends in as usual.
The story is picking up pace finally.
We will see what is happening in other words next.
Look forward to the next chapter.
Enjoy the new chapter.
Good Day, Peace Out.
