Tatsuma and Meredith chatted along the way and soon arrived in front of a villa from the airport.
"This is my home." Tatsuma led Meredith and pushed the door open.
The next second, a living room filled with various decorations and exuding a warm atmosphere appeared in their sight.
"Huh?"
Meredith stopped and looked around before showing a puzzled expression.
"Tatsuma-san, did you set up a magic workshop at home?"
Tatsuma, knowing what she was asking, replied, "It's not a magic workshop, I just set up some defensive facilities just in case."
Two days ago, Rias found a construction team from the Underworld to come to the house.
After just twelve hours of renovation, the interior space of this villa, which only had two floors on the outside, was greatly expanded.
There were four floors above ground and seven floors underground, and it was also equipped with a hot spring and a series of rooms for various purposes.
After that, Tatsuma carried out a new round of armament on this basis.
To put it simply, he inscribed a dozen layers of defensive magic and set up a large Senjutsu array. Under the nourishment of natural energy, the people inside this villa would gain various benefits.
Relieving fatigue, improving physical constitution, speeding up the recovery of physical strength, increasing concentration during work...
Although most of the effects were average, Rias and the others were very satisfied with it.
"The room prepared for you is on the second floor."
After introducing Meredith to the various functions of the large Senjutsu array, Tatsuma led her to a room on the left side of the second floor.
The layout inside the room was very simple. Aside from a set of wooden tables and chairs and a large double bed, there was nothing else.
"Because I didn't know your preferences, we didn't buy too many things. After you put away your luggage, see if there's anything you need and let me know, I'll reimburse you."
"No, these are enough."
Meredith was very satisfied with this room.
As a magician, it was best for everything in the room to be arranged by herself.
Taking out three full large boxes from her storage equipment, Meredith immediately started unpacking her luggage.
Tatsuma asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No need, Tatsuma-san, you can go and do your own things, I can handle this by myself."
"Then you go for it."
Tatsuma said goodbye and turned to leave the room.
However, just then, the defensive magic he had set up on the periphery of the villa was suddenly triggered.
Releasing his senses to scan outside, Tatsuma's figure flickered and appeared in front of the villa gate.
"I didn't expect you to come looking for me, is there something?"
"Oh dear... Don't be so cold."
Satoru stood with one hand in his pocket and smiled as he greeted Tatsuma.
"We haven't seen each other for so long, aren't you going to invite me in to sit for a while?"
...
Tatsuma led Satoru into the villa.
Sitting down in the living room on the first floor, Satoru looked around.
Since becoming the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer, he had seen a lot. But having been to so many places, this was the first time he saw someone make their home look like a fortress of war.
Walking into this room, the range of his Six Eyes was compressed to three meters.
"Your house is really exaggerated."
Tatsuma sat down opposite him and said, "Just in case, I've only set up a few defensive magic spells. Is there something you need from me?"
Satoru said, "Reimburse medical expenses."
"How much?"
"I'm joking, don't be so serious."
Satoru shrugged, "That punch you threw was very heavy, making me lie in bed for over a day before waking up. But I forgive you."
Tatsuma said, "I can't hear any forgiveness in your words, only a lot of resentment."
"Because it really hurt so much, okay? I even thought I was going to die at that time."
"How about I reimburse the medical expenses, and then you go back?"
"Cough cough! Don't be so impatient, I was just complaining a bit."
Satoru coughed twice, then leaned forward, crossed his hands, and his expression became serious.
"Tatsuma, I only have one purpose in coming to see you this time. I want to ask you to help me kill a few people."
"Elaborate."
Tatsuma's eyes lit up and he perked up.
Satoru explained, "About two hours ago, Jujutsu High was attacked. The composition of the enemy is very complex, there are Cursed Spirits, Curse users, and also magic users."
"I was on a mission outside at the time, and everything was already over when I returned."
When Satoru said this, his voice had already turned cold, and a hint of killing intent emerged from him.
"After the investigation, the enemy's targets were the Sukuna fingers and Itadori kept at Jujutsu High."
"Yaga and the others had limited manpower, so they gave up the warehouse to cover the students' retreat. But even so, Jujutsu High still paid a very heavy price."
"Seven Grade 1 and twenty-six Grade 2 Jujutsu sorcerers died, and everyone else, including Yaga, was severely injured."
"I roughly understand the situation."
After hearing this tragic battle report, Tatsuma asked after a moment of thought, "What is Yuji's current situation?"
Satoru said, "He suffered some minor injuries, but Megumi was captured while covering him."
Tatsuma asked, "Megumi? What happened?"
Satoru said, "The woman who was chasing Yuji is a Sacred Gear user. Megumi summoned Mahoraga to cover his teammates, sacrificing himself so that Itadori and the others could retreat."
"Now Itadori and the others are all staying at the Tokyo branch of the Church, you don't need to worry about problems."
Tatsuma asked, "What did the Church say?"
Satoru replied, "It's all polite talk, saying they need to collect enemy intelligence first and then transfer personnel from the headquarters, but I don't want to wait anymore."
Satoru took out a contract and slapped it on the table, his expression serious.
"Four Special Grade Cursed Tools, three tenths of the Gojo clan's businesses, 20 billion Japanese yen in cash, and a favor from me."
"I want to ask for your help to seal off the battlefield and clear out all those guys, leaving no one behind."
"No need for the favor, I'll give you a discounted price for Yuji's sake."
A hint of demonic power emerged from Tatsuma's fingertips, and he signed his name on the contract.
The contract took effect smoothly, turning into two copies that floated separately in front of Tatsuma and Satoru.
Taking his own copy, Tatsuma got up from the sofa and asked the last question, "You just said seal off the battlefield, which means you know where the enemy is hiding, right?"
