The Final Battle Approaches!

The world of Jujutsu Kaisen.

The Jujutsu Higher-Ups were actually in a rather awkward position.

First, they lacked sufficient strength.

They simply could not keep everyone in line.

Second, they wanted to preserve their right to speak.

When their own strength was insufficient and they were unwilling to surrender power,

the Jujutsu Higher-Ups could only resort to underhanded methods.

But when such conspiratorial tactics were used too often, they could easily backfire.

In the original story, Satoru Gojo was that fire.

He directly purged the Jujutsu Higher-Ups, slaughtering them until blood flowed like rivers.

For even someone with Satoru Gojo's personality to strike without mercy,

one could imagine what kind of trash these so-called Jujutsu Higher-Ups were.

And now, because Ronawa had appeared,

the Jujutsu Higher-Ups had become even more aggressive than in the original story, and their methods even more despicable.

This would inevitably bring them even more brutal retribution in the future.

All that could be said was that those who committed too much evil would ultimately destroy themselves.

On Ronawa's side,

after defeating Yuta Okkotsu and the others,

she quickly left the scene. When she reappeared, she was already in a remote area far from the battlefield.

Then, Ronawa no longer cared about appearances.

She shook her hand while grimacing and restored her cursed energy.

In truth, she was nowhere near as relaxed as Yuta Okkotsu and the others had thought.

Although she had indeed defeated them, she had sustained some injuries herself.

Especially when she took Toge Inumaki's cursed speech light cannon head-on. It had looked as though she had effortlessly blocked it with one hand.

In reality, the pain had made her want to shake her hand wildly.

She had only kept enduring it for the sake of her pride.

Only now did she finally stop pretending.

When it came to maintaining her image, she really did go all out.

Naturally, Ronawa also added this grudge to the tab owed by those Jujutsu Higher-Ups.

When she got the chance later, she would definitely pay them back.

If she did not twist off the heads of those damned Higher-Ups,

she would be too embarrassed to call herself the Death Curse Spirit.

Did they really think the word "Death" in her name was there for nothing?

But for now, she checked the time on her phone and found that it was already time to eat.

She would go back first and see what Suguru Geto had made today.

When all was said and done, food came first.

As time continued to pass,

only half a month remained until the final battle between Ronawa and Satoru Gojo.

During those two weeks, all of Jujutsu Society was unusually quiet.

But everyone knew that this peace was merely the calm before the storm.

As one of the people involved, Ronawa had been very busy lately.

Busy digging into her own potential, busy increasing her cursed energy,

and busy looking after children...

More specifically, the sisters Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko Hasaba.

Because Suguru Geto was even busier.

Although Ronawa did not know what Suguru Geto had been busy with lately,

Suguru Geto had even stopped taking Ronawa to the Time Vessel Association.

Perhaps he had already realized that he and Ronawa would never walk the same path.

Suguru Geto simply stopped thinking of Ronawa as a sharp blade for his plans.

Instead, he regarded Ronawa purely as a friend.

Besides, Ronawa did not know whether it was just her imagination,

but she always felt that Suguru Geto asking her to look after Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko Hasaba was somewhat like entrusting them to her before his death.

It gave Ronawa the feeling that Suguru Geto might drop dead at any moment.

It was a little too strange.

Furthermore, after spending so much time together, Ronawa's relationship with Nanako Hasaba and the others had greatly improved.

At the very least, they no longer snapped at each other over every little thing.

After getting along for this long, Ronawa discovered that the sisters actually had pretty good personalities.

For example, Mimiko Hasaba, the older sister, was actually gentle and took great care of her younger sister, Nanako.

She was also good at all kinds of housework, and more importantly, her cooking was delicious.

Nanako looked like a flashy delinquent girl and gave off a pretty bad-girl impression.

But in reality, she was just a little tsundere.

She was unexpectedly easy to get along with.

And what the sisters had in common was their absolute loyalty to Suguru Geto.

Even if Suguru Geto told them to die, they would carry it out without hesitation.

This was also evident in the original story.

In order to avenge Suguru Geto, the sisters disregarded their own safety and approached Kenjaku and Sukuna one after another.

Although they died horribly in the end, making them seem rather foolish,

their loyalty was beyond question.

This was also related to the sisters' past.

Once, ignorant villagers had imprisoned them, forcing them to live in hell every day.

Suguru Geto was the one who rescued them from that hell.

And because they always remembered that kindness,

they were willing to step into a new hell for Suguru Geto.

In this day and age, such gratitude was rare.

Precisely because of that, Ronawa's attitude toward the sisters had improved considerably.

At the very least, when she guided them normally, she genuinely put effort into it.

It was just that the results were rather mediocre.

For example, when she taught the sisters Black Flash,

Ronawa could never teach it properly.

Because for her, Black Flash was something anyone with hands could do.

But for the two sisters, Black Flash was simply far too difficult.

The gap in talent meant Ronawa was not really suited to teaching them.

Many things Ronawa considered naturally achievable were, to the sisters,

operations as mythical as legends.

They simply could not replicate them.

This was also why unparalleled geniuses like Ronawa and Satoru Gojo were not actually suited to being teachers.

They could not understand how students with ordinary talent thought.

They had no way to put themselves in their students' shoes while teaching them.

It was like that famous saying: "How could anyone be so stupid that they can't learn calculus?"

That was exactly the problem.

Geniuses like Ronawa and Satoru Gojo were only suited to teaching other geniuses.

Like the Tiger Heavenly Emperor, for instance.

Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko Hasaba were clearly incompatible with her teaching style, so their progress was naturally extremely slow.

But it was not a major issue.

Suguru Geto had never expected Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko Hasaba to truly learn anything from Ronawa anyway.

As long as they could build a good relationship with Ronawa, that was enough.

In fact, Ronawa's guess had been correct.

Suguru Geto had asked the sisters to get along with Ronawa.

It really was because he was entrusting them to her.

The reason was simple.

Suguru Geto had already decided that on the day Ronawa and Satoru Gojo fought, he would launch the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons and attack Jujutsu High!

On one hand, this would ease Ronawa's burden.

If nothing was done, then when the day of the final battle arrived,

Ronawa would inevitably have to face all of Jujutsu Society alone.

That would make it far too easy for something to go wrong.

After all, everyone knew what the Jujutsu Higher-Ups' reputation was like.

It was hard not to suspect that they were plotting something huge, waiting to stab Ronawa in the back on the day of the final battle.

To relieve Ronawa's pressure, the best approach was naturally to cause trouble.

And besides that, Suguru Geto wanted to give himself an answer.
