Meanwhile, Geto had dropped the probing questions.
Now, he genuinely saw the Jujutsu Sorcerer called White Noroi before him as "Satoru's" student.
He smiled and said to White Noroi,
"Since you're Satoru's student, let's exchange contact information."
As he spoke, he took out his phone.
White Noroi immediately agreed with delight and quickly rattled off his phone number.
His gaze also wandered over Geto's black slider phone, a little curious.
Why did Geto's phone look kind of... old-fashioned?
As Geto entered White Noroi's number, his eyes happened to sweep over the other man's phone screen. His fingers paused when he noticed the signal icon at the top.
If he wasn't mistaken, that meant "no signal"... The icon looked much like the ones they had now.
...Right. If White Noroi really was a "time traveler," his SIM card would be from the future. Having no signal in this era was only natural.
He tried calling. Sure enough, the call failed to connect, and a busy tone sounded in his ear.
White Noroi froze for a moment. He checked the number Geto had entered, confirmed there were no mistakes, then looked back at his own phone in confusion.
Weird...
He rubbed his chin, looking puzzled.
"Could it be... out of credit?"
No way. He remembered Uraume had put loads of money on this phone-enough to last years!
He frowned in thought.
"...Don't tell me the phone broke when I went through that 'Gate'?"
What was he supposed to do if it was broken? He didn't even know whether this sort of damage could be repaired... Uraume had only just bought this new phone for his Sukuna!
What a waste! Would he have to wait until he got back to Jujutsu High and ask Uraume to take it to the store with him?
