Tomie was very surprised.
She had not expected Satoru to be completely unaffected by her abilities.
After her experience with Kenjaku in the underground bar, Tomie had gained some understanding of how Special Grade powerhouses resisted her abilities.
Coupled with what she had learned from Curse Users and Jujutsu Sorcerers controlled by other Tomies, as well as the information provided by Kenjaku, Tomie's understanding of Jujutsu and the Jujutsu world was no longer insignificant.
After all, because of her constant proliferation, Tomie's learning speed was comparable to Naruto using multiple Shadow Clones.
One day of learning could surpass a normal person's month, and the best part was that there were no side effects.
However, those who had not truly encountered Satoru could not understand just how overpowered he was.
Under the observation of his Six Eyes, the constantly expanding twisted Cursed Energy emanating from Tomie's body was even more conspicuous than a lighthouse in the dark night.
Therefore, Satoru perfectly used Limitless to isolate Tomie's influence.
Many things cannot be understood just by reading information on paper.
Only through real contact can one grasp their meaning.
For the first time, Tomie now had a concept of Satoru's Limitless, which was praised as absolute defense.
It was an absolute Domain that even her charm could not penetrate.
Tomie lightly bit her finger and began to ponder her next move.
If Satoru had been like Kenjaku, where although there were no major overall issues, he was indeed affected by Tomie's abilities, then Tomie would not have given up on her strategy of conquering Satoru.
Instead, she would have been full of motivation to prepare for her next action.
However, until she knew how to break through Satoru's impregnable Domain, Tomie could only abandon her thoughts about Satoru.
Instead, she turned her attention to the other modern strongest mentioned by Kenjaku.
What changes occur in your life after getting a girlfriend?
Having lived two lives, Eichi, who had a girlfriend for the first time, found that his life had indeed changed.
When he was little, he would run around in the mountains and by the river, looking for things to play with when he got bored.
When he got a little older, he would run to bookstores to read.
Of course, these were comic books.
As long as you went to the bookstore when it was busy and pretended to be choosing books, the staff would not pay attention to you.
This way, you could read one or two hours of comics for free.
With the content from those free comics, you would not lack material for daydreaming over the next few days.
If there were fewer people in the store, then it would be troublesome.
Because the staff would probably come over often to ask questions.
There were many reasons for that. Not wanting people to get something for free was only one aspect. There was also concern that you might steal books when they were not paying attention.
Or that frequent handling might stain or damage the pages.
After all, the appearance of new books was very important.
When he got even older, things became even simpler.
He would scroll through short videos for hours, not stopping until his eyes hurt unbearably.
He would play games all day, and even if he lost terribly every time and his mentality exploded, he could switch to another game and continue playing.
As for girlfriends, at that time, Eichi found it hard to understand why girls always asked whether they were more important or the game was more important.
He could not understand why those girls thought they were more attractive than games that cost hundreds of millions in funding and were meticulously developed over several years by hundreds of game developers.
However, Eichi now understood a little.
Because Artoria had made Eichi realize that there truly were people in the world worth letting go of everything for.
Now, when Eichi was bored, he would make voice calls or video calls to chat with Artoria.
Even though both of them were doing their own work, handling the miscellaneous tasks they had voluntarily taken on in preparation for taking over the Jujutsu world in the future, that did not stop them from chatting and complaining together.
After all, chatting idly while working nonstop was an essential skill for many workers in his previous life.
Otherwise, such dry and boring work could bore a person to death.
During meals, he would wonder whether Artoria had eaten enough.
When passing by certain shops, he would think that Artoria seemed to like that item, and wonder whether he should bring some back for her.
Even Eichi himself had not expected this kind of change.
However, Eichi did not dislike this feeling. He even enjoyed it a little.
After all, both sides were sincerely giving to each other.
Artoria never brought up attitudes, details, or emotional value with him.
Sometimes Eichi even felt as if he must have saved the world in a past life to be lucky enough to meet Artoria.
Just as Eichi was wondering whether to have dinner out with Artoria that evening, the Cursed Spirit that had struggled for a long time in front of him finally dissipated.
Mahoraga, now with +1 added to the inventory, smiled and returned to Eichi's shadow.
Because a large number of Assistant Supervisors and low-level Jujutsu Sorcerers had recently been deployed to track Tomie's whereabouts, the already understaffed Jujutsu Sorcerers became even busier.
Satoru even invited Suguru and his family to join the Cursed Spirit exorcism team in the name of the Tokyo Branch.
Eichi, who had originally been in a semi-clerical position, also moved to the front lines and began exorcising Cursed Spirits everywhere.
This allowed the Jujutsu Sorcerers, who had originally been overwhelmed with work, to finally catch their breath.
"Hmm?"
Eichi, who was just about to head to his next mission location, was drawn in by a charming figure.
It was a woman with golden proportions, radiating an intoxicating charm with every movement.
Eichi felt that his heartbeat seemed to be speeding up.
Dressed in a white dress, with white stockings perfectly outlining a pair of long and graceful legs.
The Tomie standing before Eichi smiled happily when she saw Eichi's reaction, which was different from Satoru's.
This time, Tomie had come prepared to completely capture Eichi.
Not only had she learned from Kenjaku that Eichi was a veteran otaku, she had also sent out the Tomie with the most immense Cursed Energy among those she had proliferated, the one confirmed to be capable of influencing Special Grade individuals.
At the moment, it seemed her plan was very successful.
Eichi's eyes had stayed fixed on Tomie for more than ten seconds without moving.
And Tomie could feel that Eichi had already begun to develop desire for her.
"Hello, I feel like you look familiar. Can we get to know each other?"
Sure enough, not long afterward, Eichi proactively walked up to Tomie.
"That pick-up line is outdated, you know."
Tomie smiled charmingly, crossing her arms.
Her calm demeanor showed no trace of the wariness that a young girl alone in the wilderness should have when encountering a strange man.
"Is that so?"
Eichi scratched his head.
That kind of conversation should be universal, right? After all, even in his previous life, Eichi often saw classmates talk to girls like that at school.
'Wait, now that I think about it, it really does seem outdated.'
In the end, Eichi gave up on his limited vocabulary for interacting with the opposite sex and went back to being straightforward.
"Since that's the case, I'll ask directly. Are you Tomie?"
"Oh, you know me?"
(To be continued.)
