Outside Kuoh Town.
A young man with stitches on his face sat on the ground, his eyes vacant, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just then, a voice sounded from behind.
"Mahito, we should go."
Mahito turned his head to look and asked, "How come you're the only one back? Where's Hanami?"
"Hanami made a sacrifice."
"Huh? Are you kidding?"
"No, I'm serious."
"Hanami was killed by him."
"Killed by whom?"
"Rias Gremory's new Peerage, a Devil named Tatsuma Nakamura."
He took out his phone and handed it to the other party.
"Tatsuma is a monster beyond imagination, his growth speed exceeded my expectations."
"I originally thought he only had the strength of a second grade Jujutsu sorcerer at most, but he killed Hanami head-on."
Mahito threw away the phone after watching the video. "What kind of head-on is this? He clearly relied on a sneak attack to cut off Hanami's arm first."
"How about the mission objective? Did you get the information you needed?"
"Rizevim's information is zero, but we confirmed that Yuji can withstand Sukuna's finger. As long as we have him, we are not afraid of anything."
Mahito crossed his arms. "Actually, I've been wanting to ask, isn't your plan a bit unreliable?"
"It's unreliable, but don't worry. I've prepared a Plan B for you guys these past two days. Besides, is there anyone who has investigated this matter?"
...
Occult Research Club.
Rias sat on the sofa with a serious expression. "Tatsuma, are you short on money lately?"
"No."
"Then do you have pica?"
(Note: Pica is a tendency or craving to eat substances other than normal food.)
"No."
"Since you don't have either, why did you suddenly want to eat Sukuna's finger?"
Tatsuma explained, "I wanted to test if I could eliminate it with this idea."
In fact, he hadn't thought about eating the finger at first. However, after seeing Yuji's situation, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of the Devil Pieces.
Since the system could convert the Devil Pieces in his body into a trait, could it also convert Sukuna's finger into a trait?
If it could succeed, not only would Sukuna's fingers be eliminated, but he would also get a trait for free. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
He won big, alright.
However, it was clear that Rias couldn't follow Tatsuma's train of thought.
"Why would you link eating Sukuna's finger and eliminating Sukuna's finger?"
Tatsuma said, "This is one of my personal abilities, I can completely digest some things I eat."
Koneko, who was watching from the side, narrowed her eyes. "That sounds like nonsense."
"I think it's very interesting."
Satoru chuckled. "Why don't you let him try?"
Rias glanced at him and said, "Gojo-san, please be careful with your words."
Satoru raised his hands in surrender. "Sorry, I'm just a little curious."
He had rushed over after receiving a message from Megumi. But by the time he arrived, everything was already over.
Satoru said, "By the way, Rias-san, let's end the contract here. I just received news from the higher-ups that they are preparing to transfer this Sukuna finger."
"I understand."
Rias pushed the finger over.
In her opinion, this news came at just the right time. Otherwise, not only would she have to defend against external enemies in the future, but she would also have to watch Tatsuma to prevent him from secretly eating it, which would be really troublesome.
"It was a pleasure working with you." Satoru put away the finger and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, Tatsuma suddenly greeted him.
"Add me as a friend?"
"No problem."
Satoru took out his phone and added Tatsuma, then curiously gossiped, "Tatsuma-kun, are you trying to take a different approach to get the finger from me to eat?"
"That's not it, I just want to develop some potential clients."
Ignoring Rias's suddenly tense gaze next to him, Tatsuma took out a business card from his pocket.
"I heard that you guys at Jujutsu High are short-handed. If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime."
"Whether it's beating... training students, or exterminating Cursed Spirits, I can take orders."
Satoru took the business card and said, "That sounds pretty good, but is it really okay for you to develop clients privately, bypassing your master?"
Tatsuma said calmly, "How can you say I'm developing clients privately? I'm clearly developing clients openly."
Rias replied, "As long as you don't feed him strange things, I'm fine."
Tatsuma's initial acceptance of her invitation was originally to fight with different people.
The people at Jujutsu High were all humans, and only Satoru had some strength.
The Cursed Spirit side were even more like cannon fodder. A single special-grade Cursed Spirit was no match for Tatsuma.
Fighting with these two forces, Rias was very confident in Tatsuma's safety.
Hmm... as long as he didn't touch Sukuna's finger, she was very confident.
"I've long heard that the Devils of the Gremory clan are very emotional, and it seems that's true."
Satoru scanned Tatsuma and Rias back and forth, smiled, and waved goodbye.
"Tatsuma-kun, I appreciate your kindness. I'll contact you later when I have time."
"You guys should also disband. You've been fighting all night, go back and rest well."
