"This is it."
Gojo Satoru took the Tengu Feather Fan Shen Yuanyi handed him. Having removed his sunglasses, he carefully examined the strange Cursed Object in his hand. After a long while, he set the fan down. "It is indeed somewhat different from ordinary Cursed Objects. It seems to have undergone some artificial modifications, but the new cursed presence on it isn't very strong. It probably wasn't some kind of evil ritual."
Shen Yuanyi stood and yawned. "Then I'll leave it to you, Sensei. I don't want to deal with that crap that always ends up involving the bigger situation."
"Wait."
Gojo Satoru stopped Shen Yuanyi. "I might be getting busy soon. Until the Exchange Event begins, Itadori is in your care."
"Huh? Gojo-sensei, are you saying Itadori will still be targeted?"
Gojo Satoru waved the feather fan in his hand. "It might not be the higher-ups. After making such a blunder, at least that group won't have time to target Itadori. But aside from Jujutsu Sorcerers, Curse Users or Cursed Spirits may be watching him too. After all, he carries the legendary Sukuna. Letting him out would also be quite troublesome."
Shen Yuanyi thought about it and realized that was true. Itadori Yuji having eaten Sukuna's Finger was enough; there was absolutely no need to let Sukuna seize his body and return to the world.
"No problem. Have Itadori follow me for the time being. I'll let Kusukabe-sensei know later."
Inside a dark, chaotic building.
Three figures were strangely "dancing around," throwing punches and kicks as though they were fighting, yet there was no sign of an enemy before them. They looked more like a few deranged people having a fit.
Shen Yuanyi sat on a somewhat battered plastic chair beside a pile of junk, eating an ice cream
