After getting released from the Jujutsu hospital, I headed towards the dorms, grinning while holding a piece of paper close to my heart.
A cheque of 1 million yen!
Damn! I should have asked 10 million instead. I am sure Gojo could cough out that amount of money?
Before heading inside my room, I stopped by at Mai's room. It was late night, and everyone was sleeping. Yet, the lights in her room was on, and I heard two voices of Maki.
...Did I mess up and gave her two mouths?
I knocked the door, and as it suddenly opened, Maki hugged me.
Wait, that's not her. Maki's hair is longer.
"Thanks for saving my sister."
Oh. So she is Mai huh?
I patted her head and looked at Maki, looking fully fine and smiling at me. And, I couldn't feel any cursed energy from her.
And, Mai's cursed energy is now quite a lot. Though I can't guess the amount.
"Can I come in?"
"Of course."
I sat on a chair, quite awkward around Maki. She almost died because Mahito spawned in front of me.
Maybe because I couldn't control Reincarnation at that time, I reincarnated the immense accumulation of human negativity of a black company and gave birth to Mahito?
That's certainly a possibility. As I was thinking about it, Mai was the one who broke the silence.
"You know, when Maki became transfigured, the world considered her dead. I felt my connection to her break, and I was filled with immense cursed energy. Something I always hoped that I would have more.
Yet, at that moment, all I felt was anguish, thinking that Maki had died. I came to Tokyo in hurry, only to find Maki in front of me."
She started crying, with Maki comforting her.
Well, I guess no one had to actually die for the other to get a power-up huh?
"Thank you for saving me, Miwa."
"Eh? Don't be like that. I got the technique to save you, so I did what was natural."
"Like making a curse spirit a cursed object, and then swallowing it?"
"Yup."
I said with a straight face.
"How did it taste?"
Taste? In that heat of the moment, I didn't exactly think how it tasted.
"I don't know."
Suddenly, Mai interrupted the awkward environment.
"I have a gift for you."
Suddenly, a katana materialized in Mai's hands.
"This is a gift from me."
I took the Katana, and stared at it in shock. It's the same quality as what Gojo gave me!
What was Mai's cursed technique again? Construction... Similar to Yorozu...
Suddenly, Yen signs appeared in my eyes.
"Your cursed technique is OP as hell!
Hey, can you create gold?"
Mai felt like she gained enlightenment.
"I need to know the properties, but...
Why didn't I think of this before!?
I could only barely create a bullet before. But, what if I just created gold even back then!? Even some grams daily could-"
"Infinite Money Glitch!"
I shouted, brimming with excitement.
"Hey hey, why don't you transfer to Tokyo Jujutsu High? You are in Kyoto, right?"
"Umm, you see, I am actually from Zenin clan, which is situated in Kyoto-"
"Fuck Zenin clan."
Maki said, feeling unusually determined.
Oh. Is Zenin clan going to face extermination so soon?
So, it was decided that Mai will transfer to Tokyo.
"Gojo-sensei is going to take care of it. He should start shouldering responsibilities of a teacher."
I said, but changed my statement.
"Let's talk to him tomorrow after we do some shopping! Who knows, that guy might bounce this check just to mess with me.
Anyway..., can you, um..."
How should I say it?
"Gift me some gold that you make? Just a little?"
I should just be shameless. Isn't it a good trait for sorcerers? Selfish, shameless, greedy and such?
"Well, you did give me the idea, so, sure!"
Mai is my favourite person now.
"Alright, let's go to the mall tomorrow!"
----------------------
The next day, the first thing I did was go to the bank and deposit the 1 million yen check in my bank account.
Thankfully, it didn't get bounced.
Hmm, this should be enough for my little brothers' university's first year. For schooling, government schools are free anyway. And private schools in the era of YouTube are just scam.
Then, I went to the nearby mall.
Sadly, Panda and Inumaki refused.
Panda doesn't really have anything he wants to buy, and Inumaki probably is smart enough to deny accompanying girls on shopping, because we take so much time.
So, it's just me, Maki, and Mai.
First, we went to buy clothes. Maki didn't really have any opinion on any clothes, and just bought a tracksuit.
I bought a tracksuit, some pajamas, and some comfortable casual dresses, which wouldn't restrict combat too much.
Mai was the one who bought the most dresses.
Then, I bought three new phones for myself and my two brothers. Since Mom and Dad are dead, we have been using Dad's phone till now.
"Hey, what does a Mangaka need?"
I bought a laptop with the manga tools necessary. Ryota wants to be a Mangaka. He can't just keep drawing on paper all day. He needs to get used to professional tools.
As we took our bags and were about to head back to Tokyo Jujutsu High, I was alert, ready to encounter Kenjaku.
Yet, it didn't happen, and we safely returned to the school.
I guess I have read too many fanfictions.
Not every chill day is filled with dangers.
