On top of the roof of a high-story building stood a man with his arms resting on the railing.
Raising the binoculars in his hands, he zoomed in on a black sedan stuck in traffic.
Moving slightly to the back seat, he found his target — a white-haired girl with beautiful blue eyes.
Satori Gojo.
The gem of the Gojo clan.
Having confirmed the target, he opened his phone and quickly wrote down her location.
After he was done, he looked back through the binoculars.
But just as he did...
He saw something.
That made him freeze in place.
Satori Gojo.
Was staring straight at him.
With an indifferent look on her face.
The man forgot to breathe. Cold sweat formed on his forehead as he fell onto his back with a horrified look on his face.
Satori Gojo.
What a monster!
On the other side, Satori calmly turned her head back and said in a cold tone,
"Don't look at me, trash."
It was starting to get on her nerves — these weaklings who kept following her to track her location.
"Tsk."
Her mood only worsened as she looked at the heavy traffic.
Opening her phone, she casually went through her gallery and stopped at a particular picture.
It was the one she took while tightly squeezing Naoya's cheeks.
Seeing his dumbfounded face, a small smile unconsciously formed on her lips, and her previous bad mood diminished a little.
Then she suddenly remembered that this bastard hadn't bothered to see her in so many years!
He always made excuses whenever she asked to meet!
The smile vanished from Satori's face; her expression even darkened a little.
Somehow, her mood became even worse!
Satori clenched her hand and pressed down on Naoya's face in the photo as if wanting to crush him.
Honk Honk*
This unmoving traffic was really challenging her patience!!
Zenin Clan Residence.
"Gojo came to meet me? Is it Satori?" Naoya asked as he took a wet towel from Kiyo and wiped his upper body.
"Yes, Naoya-sama. She barged in and demanded to meet you," the guard replied in a calm tone.
"Well, it has been some time since we met....."
The Zenin family members must be going crazy since a Gojo came to their place out of nowhere.
Especially when that Gojo was none other than Satori.
Naoya gave the towel back to Kiyo before putting on a shirt and placing the cursed spear inside his shadow.
A lot had changed in the past few years; his way of life had become a lot more casual too.
Following behind the guard, Naoya suddenly remembered something and touched his chin.
This..... it seems as if he had forgotten something important.
Scratching his head, Naoya entered the room and stopped for a moment.
His gaze was instantly attracted to the white-haired girl sitting on the couch with an indifferent look on her face, surrounded by Zenin and Gojo family guards.
'Although I expected it, I have to say she had become beautiful.....'
His eyes landed on her otherworldly face, then silently slid down to her very gifted chest.....
Indeed.
Satori Gojo was without a doubt the strongest.
A shame she had neck-length hair; if only she'd let it grow longer and reach her waist....
As he raised his gaze, his eyes landed on a smile.
Naoya froze.
A pair of beautiful blue eyes met his own.
Oops.
It looked like she found out.
As Naoya smiled awkwardly and was about to say something, Satori suddenly jumped off the sofa, startling the Zenin guards, and ran towards him while waving her right hand.
"Na-oo-ya-kun~" Satori cutely called out his name while smiling brightly like the sun.
Naoya was shocked.
I-is this a dream?
'Don't tell me...'
Did she fall for him?
'Well, I am quite handsome.....'
Naoya also smiled, then opened his arms wide and ran towards her.
"Sa-to-ri-chan~"
"Na-oo-ya-kun~"
"Hahahah~"
"Hahahahaha~"
And just as they were about to hug...
Satori suddenly clenched her palm and punched Naoya right in the face.
"Take this, you lying piece of shit!"
Naoya hurriedly tilted his head and dodged the blow.
'Damn it! I knew something was wrong!'
Seeing her attack miss, Satori grinned and sent a punch to his stomach.
Naoya blocked it, then sent an attack of his own.
Unfortunately.
It was blocked by Infinity.
Then, the very next moment.
A punch landed on Naoya's face, making him fall to the ground.
"Got you!"
Satori smiled in satisfaction while raising her arm in a victory pose.
'I let you hit me on purpose, idiot.'
There was no point in having a fistfight with someone you couldn't even hit.
That's why taking a punch and calming her anger was the fastest way to solve it.
Naoya gave her a disdainful smile in his mind while holding his face in pain.
As he acted hurt, a concerned voice suddenly reached his ears.
"...Did I hit too hard? Are you really hurt, Naoya?"
Naoya slightly opened his eyes and saw a hesitant look on Satori's face.
The victory smile was gone, replaced by confusion and concern.
Seeing this, Naoya dropped his hand and smiled.
"Like your weak punch could hurt me."
Satori blinked, then saw his spotless face and smiled back.
"I knew you couldn't be so weak!" Satori said as she raised her hand.
Naoya got up from the ground and clapped her hand with a smile.
On the side, the Zenin clan guards looked at each other in confusion.
Naoya-sama was just assaulted right in front of their eyes.
...Should they do something?
But the opponent was Satori Gojo.
Fortunately, their dilemma was solved as Naoya quickly told them to disperse and leave them alone.
Satori did the same and told the Gojo guards to go back and wait for her.
Finally left alone, Naoya invited Satori to sit and poured her a sweet drink.
"Hum~hum~"
Satori hummed happily while drinking the sweet beverage.
Naoya knew all too well that she had a sweet tooth.
After she put down her drink, Naoya asked,
"Satori, what brings you here?"
Instead of replying, Satori narrowed her eyes, leaned forward, and poked his forehead with her finger before saying in a dissatisfied tone—
"Do I need a reason to visit my friend?? Of course! You probably don't even consider me one anymore!"
She suddenly pulled back and put on a sad expression.
"How could you? After everything we've been through... sniff..... cheater....."
She wiped away her invisible tears while holding her face like a helpless woman betrayed by an evil man.
Well, she had certainly gotten a lot more dramatic over the years.
Naoya watched her performance with a smile, finding it quite amusing.
Seeing him ignore her, Satori dropped her act. Then she thought of something, smiled mischievously, and placed her hands under her chest before slightly lifting them and saying,
"I saw you staring at my chest earlier.... wanna grab a feel—"
Before she even finished speaking,
Naoya moved at a crazy speed and stopped right before her chest.
Well, to be exact, he was blocked by Infinity, not stopped.
"Tsk."
Naoya clicked his tongue in annoyance before pulling his hand back and leaning on the sofa as if nothing had happened.
Satori, on the other hand...
Was looking at him with a blank expression.
Letting go of her chest, she opened her mouth and said in an incredulous voice,
"You... you didn't even hesitate....."
Naoya gave her a look and replied without hesitation,
"Why would I? You're beautiful."
"Beautiful!? You..."
Satori's white face turned crimson for a moment before she let out a fake cough and said while pushing her hair behind her ear,
"At least you're self-aware!"
"Still, aren't you a pervert? Instead of going 'What???' or 'No wayyy?!?!' while acting surprised, you actually went straight for my chest?"
Naoya gave her a weird look before replying,
"It seems to me you've been reading too many rom-coms these days."
"Oh? Have you seen 'My Dress-Up Darling' as well??" Satori's eyes lit up with excitement.
She quickly forgot about the previous incident and started talking like a true fan.
"....They should just get married already! I wonder when the author will release the new volume..."
She said with a longing look on her face.
'I should ask Phantom to hurry up with the updates.'
"Did you know? Mr. 'Strongest' is now considered the modern-age Picasso? Every single one of his works has been a worldwide hit!"
"Oh? Are you his fan or something?"
"I enjoy his works, but a fan? Not really. Still, if possible, I would like to meet him...." Satori said after thinking for a moment.
"He might be closer than you think."
"Hm? Could be...." Satori replied in confusion, not understanding his words.
After having some more small talk, she finally explained why she came here.
"You're joining Jujutsu High? And you want me to come with you?" Naoya asked while pointing at himself as if to say, 'Seriously?'
"Of course! It will be fun!"
"Hehe, my old man will go crazy...."
Jujutsu High operates under the authority of the Jujutsu Headquarters and is managed by the three sorcerer clans.
However, compared to the other two, the Gojo clan's influence over Jujutsu High was much greater.
This was also a reason why almost no Zenin clan members attended.
He had also been invited by Jujutsu High to join, but his old man rejected it without hesitation.
Although that wasn't the real reason he was uninterested in going.
The real reason was that he didn't want to become a slave like Gojo, who kept hunting cursed spirits all day long.
It was too much trouble, and the pay wasn't even that good.
Heh, he even rejected his father when he was offered the Grade Three Jujutsu Sorcerer certificate.
The old man got really pissed, but he didn't care and ignored him.
That was why, technically, he was an unranked Jujutsu Sorcerer.
"Like you care about your father's opinion." Satori gave him a judgmental look, clearly not buying his nonsense.
Naoya didn't care and continued spurting excuses.
"I really can't. You know how it is, the Zenin wouldn't allow it. And did you know my zodiac sign actually says I should stay away from school..."
Satori placed her chin on her hand and silently listened to his rant.
"....My doctor also said it isn't good for my health—"
"Alright, you can stop now."
Satori waved her hand, and Naoya instantly shut up.
Just as he was waiting for her to curse at him or something, she suddenly sighed and looked at him calmly.
"Naoya, if you really don't want to, then I won't force you."
'Hm? Why did the atmosphere suddenly turn serious?'
Naoya blinked and straightened from his lazy posture.
She had even stopped smiling.
Satori ignored him and entwined her fingers before continuing,
"I respect your thinking, but know this...."
She suddenly paused, then said with a genuine smile,
"I think... it will be fun if you were to come with me."
Holy shit, was this emotional blackmail??
Because it's really working!
Naoya touched his nose, then let out a small sigh and said,
"Alright, I'll come with you. I can't leave my weak, helpless friend alone, can I?"
'You didn't change... you're the only one who dares to call me weak and helpless... Naoya.....'
Satori's expression melted into a smile at being treated like a normal person.
"Yes, yes, yes! Please help this poor, weak, and helpless maiden! Oh, all-powerful Naoya-sama!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Alright, since you understand my greatness, I'll take pity on you and agree..."
The two of them sat in the room, chatting nonstop, forgetting about time and everything else.
After some time, Satori suddenly placed a finger on her lips, signaling him to remain silent.
Under his curious gaze, she quietly walked toward the door, grabbed the handle, and suddenly flung it open.
"Waah!"
Instantly, a black-haired girl fell face-first onto the floor with a loud thud.
It was Mai.
And right behind her stood Maki.
Seeing Naoya and Satori staring at her, Maki instantly pointed at Mai and said without hesitation,
"It was her plan."
"Maki! How could you sell me out?!"
