Let me study your body!

Jujutsu Kaisen world.

United States.

The scorching beach was overflowing with the vibrant energy of youth.

Countless graceful figures frolicked by the seaside.

A shirtless man lay on a beach chair, admiring the distinct flavor of summer through his sunglasses.

This is the only kind of place that's convenient.

Shinsuke Zenin was currently scouting his next target.

He had no interest in those with poor figures or empty pockets; when it came to living off others, he only picked the best.

Relying on his height of over 190 centimeters, his perfect physique, and his handsome face, he never missed his mark.

Excellent temperament, top-tier looks, and wearing a pricey bracelet—she's clearly not someone short on cash.

Having selected a tall, statuesque woman who looked like she had money to burn, Shinsuke Zenin prepared to stand up and strike up a conversation to cover his living expenses for the next few days.

However, just then, a beautiful figure blocked his view.

The newcomer tossed her long hair, struck a sexy pose, and held up a fair hand to flash a peace sign next to her bright, sparkling eyes.

"What type of women do you like?" the blonde girl asked with a smile, looking down at Shinsuke Zenin.

The girl wore a distinctive, tight-fitting black short-sleeved top and a pair of blue jeans, exuding a sense of effortless cool.

Seeing the woman appear before him, Shinsuke Zenin slowly removed his sunglasses, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Tell me, did you really not install a tracker on me?"

He knew this vibrant woman well; in fact, he had known her for a long time.

Yuki Tsukumo, a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer who never accepted missions from the Jujutsu World's higher-ups—a woman who loved drifting around foreign countries.

Come to think of it, he had known this unreliable person for four or five years now, hadn't he?

"Am I the kind of woman who would put a tracker on someone?"

Yuki Tsukumo helped herself to the iced juice sitting next to Shinsuke Zenin and took a deep, refreshing gulp.

"Ah—finally, I'm alive! This damn weather is truly hot."

Shinsuke Zenin was already accustomed to Yuki Tsukumo's behavior; he was practically numb to it.

"So, how exactly did you find me? I've only been in this city for a few days. Don't tell me it's another coincidence."

Part of the reason he never stayed in one city for too long was specifically to avoid Yuki Tsukumo.

He changed cities or countries almost every few months.

Yet, this woman was like a stubborn plaster, always able to pinpoint his location, which was exactly why he suspected she had installed a tracker on him.

Hearing this, Yuki Tsukumo blinked, a mischievous glint appearing on her face. "It's not a coincidence; it's fate!"

"Haven't you noticed how destined we are?"

Yuki Tsukumo pressed her palms together and bowed deeply. "So, let me study you properly again! Please!"

"This time, I'll definitely discover the secrets of your body!"

Her eyes shone as she looked up and down at Shinsuke Zenin's slightly scarred physique, as if she were examining some precious treasure.

"Haa..."

Shinsuke Zenin sat up, a flicker of interest rising in his eyes.

He knew why Yuki Tsukumo was so keen on finding him.

The reason was simple: Heavenly Restriction.

He had been in the Jujutsu Kaisen world for over twenty years. When he first learned he had been born into the Zenin Family—one of the three great clans of the Jujutsu World—he had been smug, thinking he was at least part of a prestigious family and the older brother of the Heavenly Tyrant, Toji.

With this identity, he figured he wouldn't have to worry about his future.

Given the Zenin Family's resources, he assumed he could easily become a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer without any issues.

However, surprises always arrived suddenly.

Perhaps as a "gift" for being a transmigrator, the heavens had unilaterally placed a restriction on him the moment he was born: he possessed not a single drop of Cursed Energy.

He knew the power of Heavenly Restriction; while he lacked Cursed Energy, it had granted him peak physical prowess, resistance to Cursed Energy, and heightened senses.

Although he couldn't exorcise Cursed Spirits or become a sorcerer, his strength surpassed that of the vast majority of sorcerers. With the right Cursed Tools, killing even weaker Special Grade Cursed Spirits wasn't difficult.

He hadn't really cared about his lack of Cursed Energy.

It was just that...

He knew the Zenin Family valued Cursed Energy and innate techniques, so he expected them to dislike him, but he hadn't anticipated that their hostility would far exceed his imagination.

Having personally experienced the malice Toji had faced as a child, he finally understood why Toji had become the Sorcerer Killer.

As for why he was currently drifting around foreign countries just like Yuki Tsukumo, the situation was a bit more complicated...

"Pay up."

Shinsuke Zenin looked at Yuki Tsukumo and held out his hand.

Since she wanted to study his body, she would have to pay for it; it just so happened that he was short on cash lately.

Hearing this, Yuki Tsukumo's face instantly fell, her entire posture deflating as if she had been punctured.

"I don't have any money."

"Tell me, is money all you ever see?"

Yuki Tsukumo puffed out her cheeks and straightened her proud figure. "Do I not have even a shred of appeal to you?"

She didn't understand why this man was always talking about money.

Didn't he know she was broke? She was probably the poorest Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer in the entire Jujutsu World.

Even though she was a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer who could earn a fortune just by taking on a few random missions, she didn't.

Because she was at odds with the old men in the upper echelons of the Jujutsu World and disagreed with their ideologies, she ignored every mission they assigned to her.

This resulted in her wearing clothes issued by Jujutsu High, which she had simply altered into her own preferred style.

However, aside from being broke, she wasn't lacking in any other department, was she?

She had the looks, the strength, youth, vitality, and a cool, commanding presence—where else could he find a woman like her?

"No money? If you've got no money, then what the hell are we talking about? Go play somewhere else and don't get in the way of me living off a woman."

Shinsuke Zenin lost interest instantly. If she had no money, how was he supposed to live off her?

She wanted a free ride on his body? There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"Oh, come on! For the sake of how many years we've known each other, can't you just waive the fee this time?"

Seeing that her charms were useless, Yuki Tsukumo immediately resorted to acting cute, grabbing Shinsuke Zenin's arm and shaking it with teary eyes.

"No."

Shinsuke Zenin refused heartlessly. A sigma male was naturally immune to coquetry, his eyes fixed only on his firm convictions.

"I'll put it on credit! Putting it on credit is fine, right?"

If it weren't for the sake of realizing her vision, she would never be this pathetic! This detestable man—one day, she would make him cough up every cent he'd swindled out of her!

"That works, but it'll be double."

"You...!"

"You what? Even loans have interest, let alone credit."

Shinsuke Zenin said as if it were only natural.

Hearing this, Yuki Tsukumo's face flushed red. She had never seen such a shameless person in her life!

"...Fine! I agree!" Yuki Tsukumo gritted her teeth.

Worst case scenario, she would just take on a few missions. As a dignified Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer, would she really be defeated by mere worldly possessions?

"In that case, follow me."

Seeing that Yuki Tsukumo had agreed, Shinsuke Zenin finally revealed a satisfied smile.

And in Yuki Tsukumo's eyes, that smile looked incredibly cunning and treacherous!
