Inside the cave landscape, everyone built a fire and sat around it eating barbecue and fruit.
Yuji took a bite of an apple and asked, "Kagura, why are your apples square? Also, all the various things inside the Domain are square too. Although the scenery is quite nice, it feels a bit unreal."
Shin shrugged helplessly, "That's just how my Cursed Technique is, there's no helping it. Although it's a bit lacking in visual effects, my Cursed Technique is very complete and comprehensive."
As he spoke, Shin constructed a large puddle on the ground and tossed a few axolotls into it.
"See? I can even create life. However, in the outside world, if they move more than sixty-four meters away from me, they will disappear. Within the Domain, there doesn't seem to be a distance limit. Do you have any favorite small animals? I can create some for us to play with."
While they were having a happy picnic at Jujutsu High, Kenjaku arrived at a room in an old apartment building.
A Cursed Spirit with a volcano head, one with its left arm wrapped and two branches growing on its face, a humanoid covered in stitches, and a man in monk's robes with stitches on his head were lying on beach chairs.
In front of them was a vast expanse of sea, with a red octopus head bobbing up and down inside.
It was the five of them: Jogo, Hanami, Mahito, Kenjaku, and Dagon.
Jogo puffed fiercely on his pipe twice and asked, "Have you still not found the vessel of Ryomen Sukuna you mentioned? I can't wait to crush all these bugs on the surface and let us new humans stand proudly on the earth."
Kenjaku said, "Don't be impatient, Jogo. The vessel has actually been found, it's just that he is inside Jujutsu High right now. You know, it's very difficult to snatch the vessel from right under Gojo's nose."
The active volcano on Jogo's head bubbled a few times, and the surrounding temperature rose significantly.
"I know? Know what! What kind of strength does that so-called Gojo have? I think that's just an excuse because you're too cowardly to face him!"
Kenjaku didn't get angry after being mocked by Jogo. He just took out a cubic object covered in talismans and toyed with it.
"If we want to force Gojo to exit the stage, we must use this, the strongest sealing cursed object in history, the Prison Realm, to seal him. However, it is not yet time."
"Prison Realm! This legendary cursed object is in your hands? I'm going to go kill Gojo right now, I want to add this cursed object to my collection."
Jogo burned the beach chair beneath him to ashes, excitedly declaring he would kill Satoru, while Kenjaku beside him smiled without saying a word.
Mahito, covered in stitches, jumped up and clapped his hands, fanning the flames.
"Why don't we discuss this again? Maybe Gojo is actually really strong. Jogo, you must not be impulsive. Maybe after you go, your head will be twisted off and kicked around like a ball. Hahahaha..."
Mahito's words successfully provoked the volcano on Jogo's head to erupt immediately.
He turned to ask Kenjaku, "Where is Gojo now?"
Kenjaku could only sit up and advise, "He must be at Jujutsu High right now. Even for you, it would be difficult to retreat unscathed if you rashly broke into Jujutsu High and were besieged by several Jujutsu Sorcerers. If you really want to kill Gojo, let's find a good opportunity, and I will notify you then."
...
At night, Satoru received a message from the Higher-Ups, asking him to take Shin to attend an emergency meeting.
It was said that because they heard there was another Jujutsu Sorcerer capable of using Domain Expansion, they called for Shin to go to the meeting to decide whether to grant him the status of Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer by exception.
To be honest, whether this status is granted by exception or not makes no difference. Although Shin doesn't have a Jujutsu Sorcerer to recommend him for the time being, it's only a matter of time.
(One cannot recommend their own students or juniors from their own school)
Ijichi Kiyotaka was driving, carrying Satoru and Shin to the meeting. The bumpy mountain road made Shin feel very uncomfortable.
"Gojo-sensei, why do those Higher-Ups like to set the meeting place in these mountain nests? Wouldn't it be fine to just find a place in Tokyo?"
"Ah, you're talking about that? It's just because those rotten oranges are very afraid of death. Every time they hold a meeting, they change the location, and they are all quite remote, just for fear that someone will plant a bomb where they are meeting."
Ijichi Kiyotaka, who was driving in front, was already sweating profusely.
Is this something he should be hearing? He was just a small wage slave.
Suddenly, Satoru told Ijichi Kiyotaka to stop the car, and took the opportunity to forcibly drag Shin out of the car.
"Ijichi, you go ahead. Shin and I have some things to do."
After hearing this, Ijichi Kiyotaka tried to negotiate with some difficulty, "Actually, I think..."
"Shut up, or I'll slap you if you speak again."
Ijichi Kiyotaka's face looked uncomfortable, but he had no choice, so he had to drive away alone.
After being dragged out of the car by Satoru, Shin was still confused, but he felt this mountain road was a bit familiar. It seemed like... Jogo?
"Haa!"
Boom!
Jogo let out a strange cry and descended from the sky, launching a pillar of magma at the two of them.
Satoru grabbed Shin and threw him backward, while he himself was swallowed by the magma.
Seeing this, Jogo mocked disdainfully, "Even at a time like this, you're thinking about saving others? Stupid."
Just as he was preparing to follow up with another attack to finish off Shin, he discovered that Shin was already fully armed and gnawing on a golden apple emitting purple light.
