"Anyway, change your clothes a little..." Megumi Fushiguro produced a black high-powered uniform from somewhere. "You're too flashy in that outfit..."
"Alright~" Sōgo Shihoin nodded and changed into the clothes provided by Megumi Fushiguro... A few minutes later, "These clothes really fit me~"
Sōgo Shihoin swayed back and forth in front of the mirror, finally giving a thumbs-up to his reflection—a figure in the black uniform of the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School with his hair spiked high.
"Isn't this your clothes?" Even now, Megumi Fushiguro still believed that Sōgo Shihoin was Satoru Gojo, but... due to an unknown curse, Satoru Gojo's mind had become muddled. However, perhaps it was precisely because the one bearing the curse was Satoru Gojo that he experienced this confusion in self-identity. If it were them, they would probably have gone mad and died long ago!
"So what do I need to do now?" Sōgo Shihoin asked Megumi Fushiguro. "I mean... how should I impersonate Satoru Gojo?!"
"It's very simple..." Megumi Fushiguro raised an eyebrow and pulled out a small notebook from his pocket. "This is a summary of Gojo points about the relationships between the teachers. Keep it safe and review it whenever you have time. Remember, never reveal it."
"I think I understand." Sōgo Shihoin, flipping through his notebook. "His interpersonal relationships are quite complicated..."
"After all, I've been a teacher at the vocational college for many years." Megumi Fushiguro nodded. "Having many students is quite normal, isn't it? By the way, my name is Megumi Fushiguro, and I'm also your student. Please remember that."
"I understand, Megumi-chan ~" Sōgo Shihoin slightly, his face always bearing a faint, teasing smile. "I'll remember your name; after all, you're the first person to discover me."
"Tsk~ Fine, call me whatever you want." Megumi Fushiguro raised an eyebrow at Sōgo Shihoin's address, pulled a cell phone from her pocket, and tossed it at him. "This is your phone, the same Sōgo Shihoin as the one you threw away. I've already entered all the important information into it..."
"Oh~ a smartphone." Sōgo Shihoin held up his phone, his eyes, hidden behind his blindfold, seemed to sparkle. "In my time, these things weren't common yet~ The future is so wonderful... Technology is so amazing..."
"Beep beep beep..."
Just as Sōgo Shihoin was engrossed in examining his smartphone, it suddenly rang... Sōgo Shihoin looked at the name displayed on the screen and murmured, " Megumi Fushiguro..."
" Megumi-chan ~ Did you call me?" Sōgo Shihoin looked at Megumi Fushiguro and asked, "We live so close, you didn't need to call, did you?!"
"No need to connect." Megumi Fushiguro nodded and hung up the phone. "I was just trying to see if I could get through. By the way, Gojo- sensei, turn your ringer up to the maximum. If someone calls you, make sure to answer. Don't worry, your phone is secure; ordinary spam calls won't get through. Calls to you are all urgent... Remember, you must keep your phone on 24 hours a day, just in case you disappear again, Gojo- sensei."
"Okay, okay..." Sōgo Shihoin nodded. He had just seen that Megumi Fushiguro had saved Satoru Gojo's contact as " Gojo- sensei," and he could roughly understand that Satoru Gojo held a high position in Megumi Fushiguro's heart. However... he still wanted to emphasize, "I am Sōgo Shihoin..."
"Before Principal Yaga informed you that you had found your way back to the manga... cough cough, I mean, before you successfully returned to your world," Megumi Fushiguro coughed lightly a few times, "You must be Satoru Gojo- sensei."
"I understand, I understand..." Sōgo Shihoin smiled slightly, "So what should I do next?"
"You... you should familiarize yourself with Tokyo a little!" Megumi Fushiguro said after thinking for a moment. "I have another task to do, but it's not a big one; I can handle it alone."
"Let me get to know Tokyo on my own~" Sōgo Shihoin scratched his back paw. "Okay~ I understand~"
"Remember, be home by nine tonight," Megumi Fushiguro Sōgo Shihoin, her eyes filled with worry. "Don't linger outside too long."
"Okay~ Are you my mom? Hahaha..." Sōgo Shihoin looked at Megumi Fushiguro, inexplicably feeling as if he were facing a parent who was worried sick about their naughty child. "Okay~ Don't worry~ I know what I'm doing..."
Sōgo Shihoin spoke, he put his hands in his pockets and with a Shunpo, instantly disappeared into the corridor.
"This speed..." Megumi Fushiguro calmly observed Sōgo Shihoin's speed, which surpassed his dynamic vision, "And you still say you're not Gojo- sensei..."
"Principal Yaga, we have some good news..." Megumi Fushiguro murmured, staring at the clear sky outside, "At least... Gojo- sensei just seems to have lost his mind; his strength doesn't appear to have been affected at all."
"That's enough." Satoru Gojo, who had been standing behind Megumi Fushiguro, slowly Masamichi Yaga forward. "As long as Gojo Satoru is still the invincible Satoru Gojo, that's enough. We have plenty of ways to restore his sanity. Given enough time, we can try them slowly. There will always be a way to restore Satoru Gojo. I'm sure the organization that secretly targeted Satoru Gojo didn't expect that the great curse they had prepared for so long would only cause Satoru Gojo some cognitive confusion, but his essence cannot be changed."
"I'll leave the matter of restoring Gojo- sensei to Principal Yaga." Megumi Fushiguro turned and bowed slightly to Masamichi Yaga. "I have a mission to complete and need to go on a long trip, so I won't stay any longer..."
"Go!" Masamichi Yaga nodded. "It's my duty to help Satoru Gojo recover; you can rest assured and leave it to me."
"Hmm..." Megumi Fushiguro, hands in his pockets, and slowly walks away...
The streets and pedestrian zones of Tokyo are teeming with people: tourists, office workers constantly on their phones, business travelers walking and talking, handsome art school applicants, aspiring idols preparing for their debut and organizing street support events, and even Dabai otaku who, without a day job, mingle with glow sticks in hand and cheer from maid cafes...
And then Sōgo Shihoin, sitting in a maid café surrounded by a group of otaku... All these scenes seem so harmonious that you don't feel the slightest bit out of place...
However, beneath the seemingly peaceful streets of Tokyo lie countless undercurrents. In the world where humanity lives, there are countless curses born from humanity. Some of these curses choose to coexist with humanity, while others choose to stand in opposition to humanity. These curses that stand in opposition to humanity, even in their very existence, have become anomalies threatening the human living space... Therefore, in order to eliminate these curses that affect the normal lives of humanity, a group of people who make a living by exorcising curses were born in this world... They are called Cursed Technique masters!
Nighttime... Hamasawa Third High School, Miyagi Prefecture...
"They actually put a top-grade cursed artifact in a place like this?" Megumi Fushiguro, hands in his pockets, slowly walked to the louvered box. "Whoever stored this must be out of their mind!"
Megumi Fushiguro thought to herself as she walked to the white louvered box...
"Huh?!" Megumi Fushiguro frowned as she looked at the unlocked louvered box, a sudden sense of foreboding rising in her heart. "No way?!"
Although Megumi Fushiguro had a bad feeling, she still opened the louvered box...
"Huh?!" Megumi Fushiguro stared at the empty space before her, sweat beading on her forehead. "No way?!"
Megumi Fushiguro stuck her head into the Stevenson screen to observe carefully...
"No..." Megumi Fushiguro's body trembled slightly, "Perhaps I opened it wrong?!"
Megumi Fushiguro deceived herself, repeatedly opening and closing the Stevenson screen several times... until she finally confirmed one thing...
The cursed king, Ryomen Sukuna, has indeed lost a finger...
"Sigh..." Megumi Fushiguro sighed helplessly and dialed a cell phone number.
"Hello?! Is this Gojo- sensei?" Megumi Fushiguro instinctively dialed Sōgo Shihoin. "I can't find the thing?!"
"What is that?" asked Sōgo Shihoin, who was enjoying a spa treatment.
"What else did you say...?" Megumi Fushiguro said excitedly, "Of course it's Ryomen Sukuna's fingers..."
" Ryomen Sukuna?! What is that?"
"Oh, sister, right there, just a little more pressure..."
"..." Megumi Fushiguro listened to the voice on the phone, speechless for a moment, then hung up and called Masamichi Yaga, "Hello!? Principal, Ryomen Sukuna's finger is missing... I need to continue searching and wait for reinforcements, right? Okay, okay, I understand."
"Sigh..." Megumi Fushiguro hung up the phone and sighed helplessly, "Come again tomorrow during the day, maybe someone at this school took it?"
According to Megumi Fushiguro's deduction, since the King of Curses ' finger was stored in a louvered box in this school, it's quite reasonable for one of the students to have taken it... right?!
"Should I put up a lost and found notice?!" Megumi Fushiguro rubbed her temples. "Forget it! What am I doing? The high school has Gojo teachers and one idiot is enough..."
The next day, around four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Damn it... what on earth is going on here?" Megumi Fushiguro had changed his clothes, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and leather shoes, looking like a member of some gang. This attire would make his daytime investigations much smoother. However... he was now walking on the deserted rugby field, his brow furrowed, because he had discovered a curse here... and the curse wasn't low-level, appearing to be around level two, making it quite troublesome to deal with...
"The game! The game!"
A competition between teachers and students?!
"This is so interesting!!"
Just as Megumi Fushiguro was investigating the deserted rugby field, searching for the source of the curse, he suddenly heard a commotion. On the nearby field, countless students were gathered, as if they were playing some kind of game.
"Should I go check it out?!" Thinking this, Megumi Fushiguro climbed over the no-entry fence and stepped onto the crowded sports field...
"Call!"
"Bump!"
Just as Megumi Fushiguro stepped onto the field, an iron ball, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed heavily into the frame of the soccer net...
"That guy..." Megumi Fushiguro looked at the pink-haired youth who had thrown that incredible ball and nodded slightly, "He's really amazing! To be able to do that with just his physical strength... Is he the same kind of person as Zenin- senpai?!"
"However, it has nothing to do with me..." Megumi Fushiguro simply thought she had seen something unexpectedly interesting and didn't take the pink-haired boy seriously. "A curse~ a curse~ what exactly is Ryomen Sukuna's finger doing..."
However, the moment Megumi Fushiguro turned around, a terrifying Cursed Energy that sent chills down his spine emanated from his side...
"This is..." Megumi Fushiguro stared intently at the pink-haired youth beside her. There was no mistake... this was the Cursed Energy of Ryomen Sukuna! "Hey! You brat..."
Upon sensing the Cursed Energy, Megumi Fushiguro's first thought was to stop the pink-haired youth, but... the instant he tried to call out, the youth had already vanished without a trace...
"What kind of speed is that?" Megumi Fushiguro stared wide-eyed at the figure that had vanished in an instant.
"Hey! I heard that kid can run fifty meters in just three seconds..." someone behind Megumi Fushiguro was discussing.
"Are you kidding me...?" Megumi Fushiguro's eyes widened.
On the other side.
"Beep beep beep... beep beep beep..."
Just as Sōgo Shihoin was having a wild time, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
"Hello?!" Sōgo Shihoin answered the phone impatiently, "I'm currently supporting Urara- chan, let's talk later..."
After finishing his Sōgo Shihoin was about to hang up the phone.
" Gojo! This is Masamichi Yaga, it's urgent!" Just as Sōgo Shihoin to hang up, a furious roar suddenly came from his phone.
"Ah~" Upon hearing this, Sōgo Shihoin characters "Masamichi Yaga " displayed on his phone screen and smiled slightly, "So it's Principal Yaga! Have you finally found a way to send me back?"
"Stop messing around, Gojo... Why didn't you answer the phone yesterday?" Masamichi Yaga asked.
"Ah... yesterday?" Sōgo Shihoin recalled, "After Megumi called me yesterday, my phone died... hahaha..."
"You bastard... never mind..." Masamichi Yaga a beat, and he suddenly wanted to curse, but he held back. "Anyway, there's something I need you to do! I've already sent you the address. Make sure you successfully contain Ryomen Sukuna's fingers."
" Ryomen Sukuna?! You've been talking about this thing since yesterday... So what exactly is it?!" Sōgo Shihoin sat up from his seat at the maid café. "Well, basically, it's just about getting your hands on that finger, right?"
"Yes..." Masamichi Yaga nodded, "I'm counting on you."
"Simple." Sōgo Shihoin Shihouin nodded and hung up the phone. He turned to his comrades at the maid café, and to his idol Urara, who was holding a fan meeting there. " Urara- chan, and everyone in the fan club, I need to go out for a bit. I'll be leaving now~"
"You're leaving, Gosho-chan~"
Be careful on your way home!
"Come support Urara again next time!"
The idol, who was dancing energetically, immediately sent a heart to the top fan after hearing what Sōgo Shihoin.
"Don't worry~ Little Urara ~" Sōgo Shihoin took off the rabbit ears from his head and casually tossed them onto the coffee table. "Even in this world, I'm still invincible."
Leaving behind these cryptic words, Sōgo Shihoin pushed open the coffee shop door and walked away...
Late at night... on the rooftop of the teaching building at Hamasawa Third High School, Miyagi Prefecture...
"Hahaha..." A shirtless, tattooed pervert laughed maniacally, "This world is wonderful! Women and children everywhere... Hahaha..."
"Oh no!" The heavily injured Megumi Fushiguro frowned as she looked at the dissolute figure. "The worst has happened... Ryomen Sukuna has successfully possessed him."
"So what's the situation now?" Sōgo Shihoin finished navigating the Japan version of the "morally bankrupt" map in his hand, and in a flash appeared beside Megumi Fushiguro to ask, "Who is that lunatic?!"
" Gojo- sensei..." Megumi Fushiguro looked at Sōgo Shihoin beside her and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "You've arrived?!"
" Gojo- sensei, the worst has happened..." Megumi Fushiguro stood up, "That student was possessed by Ryomen Sukuna, and has now been reborn in someone else's body."
" Ryomen Sukuna?!" Sōgo Shihoin was slightly taken aback, then pointed to the pink-haired man opposite him. "You mean... him?"
" Ryomen Sukuna?!" At this moment, the pink-haired girl opposite him scratched her head and looked at Megumi Fushiguro with a completely bewildered expression. "Who is that? Fushiguro-kun, are you sure you're not mistaken? I'm Yuji Itadori!"
"You are... Yuji Itadori?!" Megumi Fushiguro looked completely bewildered. "I have absolutely no idea whether the guy in front of me is actually Yuji Itadori, and Gojo- sensei seems to still be in a state of mental instability. In this situation... what should we do?"
Megumi Fushiguro's face was grim. His teacher had gone mad, and a passerby had been possessed by a demon. He didn't know what to do. He needed help urgently...
"So where's the finger?" Sōgo Shihoin shrugged; he remembered his mission. "Principal Yaga sent me to retrieve a finger."
"His fingers... he ate them," said Megumi Fushiguro, pointing at Yuji Itadori.
"You ate it?!" Sōgo Shihoin was taken aback, then walked up to Yuji Itadori.
"What... what do you want to do?" Yuji Itadori looked at Sōgo Shihoin.
"Good boy, spit your finger out..." Sōgo Shihoin smiled slightly, "Spitting it out is better for everyone."
"How could you possibly spit out something like that?!" Yuji Itadori's eyes twitched slightly.
"Spit it out..." Sōgo Shihoin said, grabbing Yuji Itadori's waist with both hands. The next second, Yuji Itadori Yuji Itadori down, head down and feet up, and started swinging him around. "How could something like a finger be digested right after you swallow it! Spit it out..."
