"They seem quite happy, don't they?" Satoru Gojo placed the papers on the table and calmly said to Aman.

"This..." Aman was startled by Satoru Gojo's expression; his calmness was... somewhat frightening. He sighed heavily. "That's right, they're very happy. They already knew you were alive when you became the King of Southern Europe, but they never mentioned it, as if you had never existed in their world. Or perhaps they were afraid of your revenge..."

"That's for the best. When Amaha gave his life to give them a chance to escape, he repaid the debt of gratitude for giving him life." Satoru Gojo sat up, using his Cursed Energy to shred the paper, a familiar smile spreading across his face. "I know Mr. Aman, you're doing this for Amaha's own good. You've practically watched him grow up. He's almost 30 and still so childish. Although he's very powerful, he doesn't have a single relative. You must feel sorry for him."

"Yes." Aman shook her head with a bitter smile. "Sir... no, Amaha's childhood wasn't good. He was alone from a young age, constantly striving to become stronger without a moment's rest. He's outstanding, incredibly outstanding, the most outstanding person in the world. In his early teens, he single-handedly dominated the entire Europe continent, becoming a Europe overlord whom everyone respected and kept at a distance. But the more he did this, the less people dared to approach him. In the end, he had no one behind him."

So you want him to reunite with his parents?

"Yeah, sigh."

"Hehe, you're overthinking it, Mr. Aman." Satoru Gojo stood up, patted Aman on the shoulder, and laughed heartily, " Amaha would never care about those things, and who said he's all alone? You, me, Jetsu, Mirai, Okkotsu, Little Megumi, Itadori, and so many more... these are all..."

"My family." Igarashi Amaha lay on the rooftop, one hand behind his head, the other holding a chess set piece positioned near the sun. He squinted one eye and smiled, "And you, Aoki, my family, my... brother."

Perhaps I should have given up the surname Igarashi long ago...

"What? Feeling lovesick?" At that moment, a familiar voice rang out from below.

Igarashi Amaha stood up and looked down, only to see Suguru Geto leaning against the railing, waving at him with his fox-like eyes narrowed.

"Hey, you busy man, what brings you back? Where are Mimiko and the others?" Igarashi Amaha chuckled, sitting cross-legged above, lighting a cigarette and laughing.

"He went on a trip abroad and probably won't be back for a while."

Igarashi Amaha was somewhat surprised, "Wow, you won the lottery? You even have money to send people on trips abroad."

"Swipe your card."

Igarashi Amaha froze. "How did you know my password?"

"Your highest combo count in the King of Fighters? That's easy." Suguru Geto said matter-of-factly.

Igarashi Amaha was taken aback. "Are you sick? Why are you memorizing other people's combo counts?"

"That's because you bragged to me for two whole months! Do you think I wanted to remember that? If we weren't close, I would have hung you up!" Suguru Geto suddenly went berserk, pointing at Igarashi Amaha and cursing.

"Oh, oh, oh, how novel! You talk like you can beat me." Igarashi Amaha curled her lip, her face full of mockery.

Suguru Geto completely lost his temper, pulled out his phone and yelled, "You wait, I'll call Wu over and we'll both take care of you!"

"Yo yo yo, you even called Wu over here? What kind of bastard is Wu? If he comes, I'll beat him up too."

Snap!

The rooftop door was kicked open, and Satoru Gojo walked in, looking indignant. "Damn it, I just got here and I'm being called a jerk! Is there no justice in this world?"

"Gouba, you're here! Ugh, Wu, you're here. I was just about to call you," Suguru Geto greeted him.

Igarashi Amaha chuckled, "What, you've come here to get a beating?"

"Stop with the nonsense, let's get down to business." Satoru Gojo waved his hand, plopped down next to Igarashi Amaha, and said to the two of them, "I just received news that Kenjaku has obtained the 19th Sukuna's Finger."

Hearing this, Suguru Geto stopped joking and stroked his chin, saying, "If that's the case, then it means a great battle is imminent, right?"

"That's right. We've been searching for the last finger for so long and haven't found it. They probably can't find it either. And given their precarious situation, they're probably getting impatient." Satoru Gojo nodded and said seriously.

"That Itadori..."

Before Suguru Geto could finish speaking, Igarashi Amaha interrupted him, "Don't worry about Itadori. If he swallows more than 10 fingers at once, he won't have time to adapt. Sukuna will temporarily take over the use of his body, and during this time he will definitely find a new vessel for himself. After all, he doesn't want to be forced to change people halfway through his show-off act."

"Hmm... the body can't usually handle the load of 19 fingers," Satoru Gojo said.

"Yes, good containers aren't easy to find."

"This shouldn't be a problem for the three of us to worry about," Igarashi Amaha said helplessly, jumping off the rooftop. He walked to the fence, pointed in the direction of Shibuya, and whispered, "Let's slowly relocate the ordinary people in Shibuya over the next couple of days. I'm afraid too many might get killed in the fighting."

The two didn't ask why Igarashi Amaha wanted to evacuate Shibuya; they simply nodded.

" Amaha."

"Hmm?" Igarashi Amaha turned around in confusion, looking at Satoru Gojo with some bewilderment.

Satoru Gojo smiled mysteriously, "If I, along with Sukuna, were to join forces, could we defeat you?"

"Not a bad idea." Igarashi Amaha stroked his chin, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "Fighting to your heart's content shouldn't be a problem, but killing me is probably still out of the question. However, if you're fighting me as a vessel for Sukuna, then it's hard to say."

Suguru Geto's lips twitched. "You really dare to think that way, don't you, Wu..."

"Hey." Suguru Geto was startled when he saw Satoru Gojo's serious face. "You don't really have that idea, do you?"

Satoru Gojo nodded, chuckled, and said, "Don't you find it interesting? The reason we couldn't fully enjoy fighting Amaha is because we were constantly trying to change the trajectory of our Cursed Energy, making it impossible to truly kill Amaha. Sukuna, on the other hand, can neutralize that, can't she?"

(I know this idea might be a bit bold, but if I were to write it all in the conventional way, it would be too boring. Since I've already started writing, I might as well be a little bolder and try something new and fresh. Besides, Amaha Gojo to pursue the strongest battle, while Satoru wanted to have a real life-or-death fight with Amaha, without any emotional involvement. Sukuna just happened to be the perfect opportunity, without acting like a clown or ruining his character!)
