"...Tch, what the hell! You knew all along!"
Once Satoru Gojo realized that Aikawa Kaze had actually guessed the right answer, he puffed out his cheeks in indignation.
Seriously, it hadn't even occurred to him!
"No, wait. If you knew the right answer, why were your earlier guesses so far off?!"
"Of course I knew the optimal solution. It's just... given Suguru Geto's personality, I really didn't think he'd be willing to do it."
Did Aikawa Kaze not know that going to the government was the quickest, easiest route? Of course he knew!
As a rabbit from the great Flower Planting Country, he naturally trusted what a government could accomplish. Even here, in this country that had made quite a nice little life for itself, the government's influence was considerable.
Naturally, he couldn't believe that Japan's government didn't want to interfere in Jujutsu Society. It was simply that Jujutsu Headquarters had controlled everything before, leaving the government no opening.
Now Suguru Geto had emerged to challenge Jujutsu Headquarters, and he seemed to be doing a decent job of it. How could they not support him?!
To put it bluntly, if Suguru Geto hardened his resolve and threw his lot in with the government of ordinary people, then recruited enough jujutsu talent, he could easily establish a second "Jujutsu Headquarters" with the nation's support.
With the power of the state behind him, Suguru Geto's organization might even be recognized as "official," while Jujutsu Headquarters became the "false establishment."
"If you knew, why didn't you say so earlier?!"
Satoru Gojo stared at him, speechless, and pursed his lips.
"Well, as long as things are a lot better for Geto now... What's with that look? Isn't this a good thing?"
"Ugh... Why didn't you two discuss this with me before acting?!"
