Suguru felt a warmth slowly envelop him.
The comfortable feeling made him want to sleep forever, until this warm sensation disappeared.
But he knew that would not do.
Because there were still many things he needed to do.
His family and his best friend were still waiting for him.
"Mmm."
Suguru let out a lazy hum.
Then, rubbing his eyes, he woke up in the hospital bed.
"You're awake. The operation was a success. You are now a lovely girl."
Eichi's voice came from beside him, and the content of his words instantly startled him, chasing away all his sleepiness.
Suguru subconsciously lifted the blanket, his right hand reaching straight down.
After confirming that his hand had indeed grasped something, Suguru breathed a sigh of relief.
"Seriously, making jokes like that will get you hit, Eichi."
Suguru looked with a chiding gaze at Eichi, who was sitting not far away.
Wait, the size is not right.
As something that had accompanied him for over twenty years.
Suguru naturally understood it very well.
The feel is not right either.
Suguru immediately threw the entire blanket off.
However, a strange phenomenon caught Suguru's attention.
My vision is so clear.
Bright sunlight, a pristine white blanket, and his own hand gripping the blanket.
Suguru placed his hands in front of him.
Although a Jujutsu Sorcerer's body far surpassed that of an ordinary person, there were also some Jujutsu Techniques with beautifying effects.
But Suguru clearly could not achieve that.
Moreover, Suguru was also a Body Refining enthusiast, a master of physical Techniques.
While his hands were not overly rough, there were still scars and calluses from his training.
But these hands were too fair and tender.
So fair and tender that Suguru would believe it even if someone said the owner of these hands was a young girl.
Not just my hands, has my eyesight also improved?
Suguru looked up at the window.
Bright sunlight, verdant leaves, dust stirred by the wind, and the constant flapping wings of insects.
He found that he could even see every single flap of an insect's wings.
Not long after, Suguru felt a discomfort.
That feeling was like a warning from his body after his brain suddenly received too much information.
"Eichi, what is wrong with me?"
Suguru looked at the instigator of it all.
"You will know if you look at this."
Eichi opened a drawer and took out the small mirror Shoko often used.
"A mirror?"
Suguru took the mirror in confusion.
What met his eyes was a handsome face that could make women shriek and secretly slip him notes.
White short hair, eyes as blue as the sky.
Smooth, fair skin, and a gentle aura of a sunny young man.
"Satoru."
Suguru recognized the person in the mirror at first glance, his best friend.
"No, that is me. I have become Satoru?"
Suguru's mind was a bit muddled for a moment. He began to try and understand everything that was happening now.
Let us rewind time a bit.
"Eichi, is there something you called me back for this time?"
Suguru, who had just jumped off the Pelican Cursed Spirit, waved at Eichi.
Nanako and Mimiko then crawled out of the Pelican's mouth.
"There is indeed something."
Eichi looked at the two little girls who jumped out of the Cursed Spirit's mouth, then looked at the Pelican Cursed Spirit with four wings.
He remembered a video.
A large rooster kept by a rural family gave a flying kick and knocked its grandson down.
The grandson started wailing.
That same evening, the rooster was on the dinner table, and its delicious drumsticks went into the grandson's stomach.
If this pelican accidentally swallowed the two sisters, would Suguru stew it too?
Eating it was impossible. After all, besides Suguru, there were also those Shikigami.
Normal people could not eat Cursed Spirits.
But slow cooking it for a few days to let the two sisters vent their anger was certainly possible.
"Interested in this Cursed Spirit? If you like it, I will give it to you."
Suguru saw Eichi constantly staring at his four-winged Pelican and thought Eichi had taken a liking to this mode of transport.
The Jujutsu World also had methods for capturing and subduing Cursed Spirits to make them Shikigami.
It was just that the restrictions were too many, and often it was a thankless effort.
So, unless the Technique had good compatibility, very few people would use Shikigami Techniques to catch Cursed Spirits to be their own Shikigami.
"No."
Eichi shook his head.
"Come in first. The reason I called you back this time is to have you learn Reverse Cursed Technique."
Eichi waved his hand, signaling Suguru to enter the house first.
"Reverse Cursed Technique?"
Suguru, who was smiling with narrowed eyes, had a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
In his mind, he recalled the scene of Shoko teaching them Reverse Cursed Technique.
"It is like a whoosh and then a hey, whoosh, hey, still do not understand? You really lack comprehension ability."
Suguru immediately banished the image from his mind, feeling that if he thought about it any longer, his head would start smoking again.
However, thinking that both Eichi and Satoru knew Reverse Cursed Technique, and only he did not, Suguru felt it was necessary to learn it.
Otherwise, he always felt like he had lost.
"How do you plan to do it?"
Suguru asked curiously.
"I plan to have Satoru teach you."
"Are you sure he can teach it?"
Suguru said this not because he thought he was stupid.
But because Satoru was indeed not very suitable for teaching people.
For example, the peak of physical combat in the Jujutsu World, Black Flash.
In Satoru's words, it was, "If you want to use it, just use it."
Many things that students struggled to master were, for Satoru, simply a matter of having hands.
So Suguru was very skeptical if Satoru could teach him Reverse Cursed Technique, Hanten Jutsushiki.
"It is fine. Although Satoru will be teaching, the teaching method is set by me, so do not worry."
Eichi naturally knew what Suguru was worried about, so he offered comfort.
"Even if you do not learn it today, your body will remember that feeling. Mastering Reverse Cursed Technique, is just a matter of time."
Hearing this, Suguru relaxed.
After all, those who knew Eichi well knew he was very reliable.
There had never been a situation where he made a promise and then failed at a crucial moment.
Then Suguru followed Eichi to Medea's temple.
Under Medea's direction, Suguru lay down on a bed.
On the adjacent bed lay Satoru, who had fallen asleep from boredom while waiting.
The flashback ended, and Suguru looked at himself reflected in the mirror.
He then looked at the infirmary, where only he and Eichi were present.
"I became Satoru."
Suguru said in disbelief.
"That is right, you can now return to the Gojo Family, inherit Satoru's hundreds of billions in assets, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of your life."
Eichi gave him an encouraging look.
"Stop joking."
Suguru finally sorted out the situation.
"Where is Satoru?"
Seeing the obvious signs that someone had been lying on the bed next to him, Suguru asked Eichi.
"He is outside. Satoru seems very interested in your body and is carefully researching it."
Eichi pointed out the window, an angle not visible from Suguru's side.
"Huh?"
Suguru's eyes widened in shock.
Then he immediately rushed to the window.
What met his eyes was himself flinging off a shirt and then fumbling around.
Even worse, that him was starting to take off his pants.
"Stop!"
