Chapter 84 - Chapter 84: Huaiyu Part 1: Making a Move

Night provided the best protection, burying countless unknown things.

Toji looked down at the woman leaning against him, too tired to move, then quietly got out of bed.

Drip.

Turning on the TV, Toji watched the sports match inside with boredom, guessing which team would win this time.

Whoosh.

A wind seemed to blow out of nowhere in the room, and Toji looked behind him.

There, a woman shrouded in a long robe appeared out of thin air.

'She's a troublesome woman, but there's no killing intent.'

Toji made a judgment in his heart.

"Who are you? Do you want to join in?"

Saying this, Toji turned around, revealing a strong physique that would captivate not only women but even men.

For Toji, who possessed the strongest body, dealing with two women was no problem at all.

This was also why rich women always sought him out.

'Ah, I forgot to send living expenses to Megumi and them. I'll go back tomorrow.'

Toji scratched his head.

"Unfortunately, you are not my type."

Medea's expression remained unchanged at Toji's words.

If Artoria or other female Heroic Spirits were present, they might have been disgusted by Toji's words.

But Medea was a hero from the age of Greek mythology.

She had seen too many heroes who often showed off their muscles, whose personalities, to put it nicely, were frank and straightforward, and to put it bluntly, were barbaric and rude.

However, there were also Heroic Spirits who were interested in someone like Toji.

For example, Queen Medb.

If Queen Medb were here, she might have already started to conquer Toji.

"Then why are you looking for a man late at night?"

Toji scratched his head, an expression of disinterest on his face.

To be honest, for Toji, one rich woman was a bit unsatisfying.

"Tomorrow, your old friend will come to you for a commission. Are you interested in earning some extra money?"

"I haven't taken commissions in years."

After confirming that the woman behind him had no ill intent, Toji's gaze returned to the television.

"I know, but he will persuade you to take that commission, and my request is simple."

Medea walked up to Toji.

"First, when you execute the commission, you must not damage the target's brain and must ensure the integrity of the body. This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Toji did not react to Medea's words.

"Second, after the commission is over, help clean up some trash."

Medea raised her hand, and stacks of cash fell onto the sofa from within her purple robe.

"The full payment for this commission is 500 million, and this 50 million is the deposit."

With that, Medea turned and left.

"Oh, by the way, the amount for the commission your friend will ask you about tomorrow is also 500 million."

Having said that, Medea disappeared from the room.

"A woman who plays at being a ghost."

Toji glanced at the spot where Medea had disappeared.

Then his gaze fell on the cash on the sofa.

"I'll just take this money to Megumi and them."

As for the commission?

No one could force him, the Heavenly Restriction, to take a commission he didn't want to do.

You threw this money here yourself; I didn't snatch it from you, so why return it?

He casually found a trash bag to pack the cash, and Toji left the villa, took a taxi, and went home.

The next day, Toji, after appeasing the rich woman, received a phone call.

The call was from an acquaintance whose name he almost couldn't remember.

After hanging up the phone, Toji's eyes became serious.

"Interesting."

It wouldn't be strange if Koshiu simply had a commission for him; although he hadn't taken commissions in a long time, he was once an ace, known as the Sorcerer Killer.

But adding that mysterious woman who seemed to know everything made it different.

"Like a chess piece placed on a board?"

Toji realized his situation.

Although Toji usually appeared lazy and like a social recluse, both his combat power and intelligence were extremely formidable.

In the original timeline, he relied on meticulous planning to weaken Gojo Satoru to the greatest extent possible, and then, using various pre-prepared methods, he nearly killed Gojo Satoru.

This all demonstrated Toji's intelligence.

"Let me look forward to it."

Toji got up and headed to the meeting point Koshiu mentioned.

His body was starting to rust after being so calm for so long.

Toji planned to see who and what dared to drag him, the Heavenly Restriction, into this.

If he wasn't satisfied... Tokyo Jujutsu High.

"Emiya-kun."

"What is it?"

Heroic Spirit Emiya, who was cleaning, looked up at Yaga Masamichi.

"It's an emergency mission. The difficulty is very high, and Jujutsu Headquarters specifically requested you to handle it."

"Oh?"

Heroic Spirit Emiya frowned slightly.

If it were normal times, a sudden emergency mission wouldn't be unusual, but Eichi had just told him a few days ago that there was an operation recently, and then he was specifically transferred away?

"What kind of mission?"

"In a Temple in Nagasaki, several Curse Users have kidnapped a dozen children as hostages to threaten Jujutsu Headquarters. This incident is extremely heinous, and Jujutsu Headquarters hopes you can quell it with lightning speed."

Heroic Spirit Emiya's heart sank.

"What are their demands? Why aren't they sending a Jujutsu Sorcerer from nearby, but instead sending me from Tokyo?"

Nagasaki was quite far from Tokyo Jujutsu High.

"They are demanding 30 billion in cash, three Special Grade cursed tools, and a car with a full tank of gas."

"As for the reason they specifically requested you, after local Jujutsu Sorcerers investigated the Temple, they found a Special Grade Cursed Spirit inside."

A Special Grade Cursed Spirit?

"Those Curse Users can control a Special Grade Cursed Spirit?"

"I don't know. This incident is very complex: Curse Users, hostages, a Special Grade Cursed Spirit. Any mistake could lead to irreversible consequences, so Jujutsu Headquarters specifically assigned you to this mission."

Yaga Masamichi looked directly at Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Unaware of the underlying reasons, he only thought this was a heinous special incident.

"I understand."

Heroic Spirit Emiya nodded in agreement.

Whether this matter was a coincidence or had ulterior motives, he could not stand idly by.

"I understand. I'll arrange a car to take you there right away."

Yaga Masamichi breathed a sigh of relief.

Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer Yuki Tsukumo was in Foreign countries and couldn't be relied upon. Others either lacked sufficient strength or had never faced such a complex situation.

Therefore, in Yaga Masamichi's view, Jujutsu Headquarters' arrangement was not wrong.

Heroic Spirit Emiya, powerful and having completed countless complex missions, was indeed the most suitable candidate.

Watching Yaga Masamichi leave, Heroic Spirit Emiya made a decision in his heart.

Complete the rescue and exorcism mission as quickly as possible, then await Eichi's summons.

If he acted fast enough, Eichi could summon him back with a Command Spell when he needed his power.
