The two head out

"Another one! I've lost count of how many assassins my iron fists have taken down for trying to hurt the young master and young miss. What rotten luck!"

The bodyguard exhaled, waving his massive fist as he looked down at the assassin he had flattened with a single punch, whose face was already somewhat misshapen.

Satoru Gojo hopped lightly over to the assassin the bodyguard had knocked down. After looking the man over, he turned toward the bodyguard with a disgruntled expression.

"You were way too quick. I wanted to teach this guy a lesson for going after my sister," Satoru Gojo said, his hands in his pockets and his lips pursed.

The bodyguard awkwardly raised a hand to scratch the back of his head. What could he say? If a bodyguard didn't act first, could he even call himself a bodyguard?

"Satoru, stop giving the bodyguard a hard time. And what's this about teaching someone a lesson for going after me? I think you were just itching for a fight."

Though she had seemingly come close to having her head blown apart moments earlier, Chinatsu felt no lingering fear and remained perfectly calm.

After all, having her head blown apart had never been a possibility. Even though the assassin's [Concealment Technique] had rendered the incoming dart invisible, it still couldn't escape Chinatsu's and Satoru's eyes.

Six Eyes.

An exceptional trait rarely seen even once in a century, and sometimes appearing only once in several centuries, these beautiful, clear eyes granted their bearer several gifts that surpassed those of the vast majority of people in Jujutsu Society.

First: perception spanning all three hundred and sixty degrees, without a single blind spot. Even pitch-black sunglasses or bandages wrapped around the eyes couldn't stop them from gathering information about their surroundings.

Second: the ability to keenly observe the flow of cursed energy. Take the dart that had just tried to blow Chinatsu's head apart: though the dart itself was invisible, the cursed energy attached to it was completely exposed under the scrutiny of the Six Eyes.

Third: the ability to see through other people's cursed techniques, allowing a sorcerer with the Six Eyes to avoid fighting without sufficient information about an opponent's abilities.

Fourth: extraordinarily precise control over cursed energy, which was also a prerequisite for activating the Gojo Clan's secret [Limitless] technique.

Having "Limitless" engraved in one's body without possessing the "Six Eyes" was like playing a MOBA where your character had the skill, but its icon stayed grayed out. No matter how many times you pressed it, nothing happened.

Precisely because of the utterly broken combination of "Six Eyes + Limitless," the first-rate jujutsu sorcerers on the dark web couldn't muster the will to go after Chinatsu and Satoru.

Only third-rate jujutsu sorcerers who couldn't even gather all the relevant information would be blinded by the astronomical bounty and underestimate how difficult the job really was...

The assassin lying on the ground with blood covering his face hadn't died, but the Gojo Clan wasn't about to simply let him leave, either.

As for what would happen to the assassin next, Chinatsu and Satoru had no idea. They didn't linger there for long, instead ignoring him and heading out.

Their destination was... Akihabara!!!

Although Akihabara at this point hadn't yet become the sort of place people in later years would jokingly call a holy land, it had already begun to take shape.

For the two children, who had spent their entire lives under tight protection at home, their eagerness to leave the house and explore the outside world had become almost unbearable.

Playing off each other like a comedy duo, Chinatsu and Satoru had finally won over the Gojo Clan's head elder, who said that once they mastered "Limitless Defense," they would be allowed to go out.

With a goal in sight, their motivation had blazed to life. At just six years old, both had mastered "Limitless Defense." With that defensive technique, they would be unharmed even if a cannon fired straight at them.

A private car took the group straight to Akihabara. The moment Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo stepped out, they drew the gazes of countless passersby.

There was no other reason: they were simply too good-looking.

Though they were only six, the number of little-boy and little-girl enthusiasts in anime-heavy Akihabara was not to be underestimated. Add in the sacred anime doctrine that "cuteness is justice," and the stares directed their way never stopped throughout their walk...

Faced with all those eyes, Satoru Gojo, who still had a slightly aloof streak at this age, didn't wave back at the people making such a fuss around them.

Chinatsu, however, felt that ignoring them completely would be a little rude, so she turned toward the surrounding crowd and gave a small, token wave.

That wave only made things worse. The onlookers excitedly raised both hands to their cheeks. Had the burly bodyguards not been standing behind Chinatsu, the girls might well have rushed over to pinch her cheeks.

"You're really popular, Sis," Satoru Gojo remarked flatly as he watched from beside her.

"Believe me, if you wave at those girls over there and smile, their reaction will be even more... intense," Chinatsu replied, waving a hand.

Hearing that, Satoru Gojo turned his head slightly in doubt toward the crowd of girls on his side, who were all looking at him expectantly.

Sure enough, that perfectly ordinary glance from Satoru Gojo immediately set off a considerable commotion among them.

Satoru Gojo promptly turned his head back. After a brief moment of contemplation, he looked at Chinatsu beside him and posed an astonishing question.

"Am I handsome or something?"

"..."

Chinatsu nearly burst out laughing with a snort. Thinking about how this Satoru Gojo would grow up into the world's most insufferable flirt made it genuinely hard for her to keep a straight face.

Forcing back her laughter, Chinatsu slowly raised a finger, her expression utterly serious.

"No."

"..."

Satoru Gojo offered no reply, looking thoughtful instead. Their group continued wandering through Akihabara, looking this way and that without any particular destination.

With the blind-spot-free perception of the Six Eyes, both children noticed several people furtively following their group. Their movements were awkward and hesitant, not much like assassins.

Indeed, they weren't assassins, but agents from entertainment and idol agencies. The instant they saw Satoru Gojo and Chinatsu, they had wanted to invite the two to join their companies as child stars, certain they would become huge hits someday.

It was a lovely dream. Unfortunately, the reality was that the two children were surrounded by burly bodyguards who could clearly shatter every bone in their bodies with a single punch, leaving the agents trembling and indecisive, too afraid to approach and strike up a conversation...
