Dressed in black, with white hair and a black blindfold, his appearance was extremely distinctive.
As for his face, it could only be described as handsome; it was a pity that he wasn't a beautiful girl.
Gojo Satoru, the ceiling of power in "Jujutsu Kaisen."
Coincidentally, he was someone Rias recognized~
However, to actually fish up a Gojo Satoru... was this even reasonable?!
Rias sized up the youth before her, then pulled off the hook; the metallic fishhook emitted a faint glow.
"Good grief, it really was fishing."
Gojo Satoru marveled, then said with a grin, "So, little red-haired loli, I've already introduced myself. Can you tell Big Brother who you are?"
After speaking, Gojo Satoru took in his surroundings.
The sky was somewhat dim, and this place was a plaza paved with white marble... No, it seemed to be private property.
The loli in front of him was very cute, dressed decently, and sitting on a small stool holding a fishing rod, which looked a bit strange.
Moreover, he discovered that his 'Six Eyes' could not see through her.
Whether she was a Sorcerer, her Magic Formula, traces of Cursed Energy, and so on—he couldn't see through any of it.
One must know that humans in his world, except for those with special constitutions, more or less had Cursed Energy in their bodies.
However, because of this, he could be certain that the loli before him was by no means simple.
"Me?"
Rias tilted her head and said, "My name is Rias Gremory. You can just call me Rias."
"Then, Little Rias, can you tell Big Brother where this is?"
Gojo Satoru flashed a frivolous smile.
"The way you smile is disgusting; it reminds me of that fellow Rizevim."
If it weren't for the fact that this smile held no malice, combined with knowing who Gojo Satoru was, Rias would have slapped him long ago.
"Whoa, what a sharp-tongued loli~"
Gojo Satoru used two fingers to pull the corners of his mouth into a wide grin and said, "Look, how can you call someone as handsome as Big Brother disgusting? You should say I'm handsome instead~"
"By the way, who is this Rizevim you mentioned? I sense a bit of malice from that name~"
Gojo Satoru asked curiously.
"A reckless idiot who thinks he's invincible but is actually stupid as hell."
Rias said, "And he's a white-hair."
"Are you there? You might as well just read out my ID card number~"
Gojo Satoru grinned.
"Relax, I'm not talking about you."
Rias said indifferently, "That guy not only has a terrible personality, but his very essence is extremely twisted. Just because he found it interesting, he ordered his own son to persecute his grandson. After he got bored, he killed his son on a whim."
"That really is vile."
Gojo Satoru's body stiffened.
That description sounded like the kind of personality he might have had if he hadn't met his best friend... No, no matter how unscrupulous he was, he wouldn't do something like that~
But based on his fundamental nature, it really was possible for him to develop into that type.
His personality might be a bit extreme, but it was definitely not that twisted.
Even though he thought this, he actually didn't have much confidence in himself.
"You're really not talking about me?"
Gojo Satoru couldn't help but ask.
"This is no longer the world you belong to. To put it simply, you've come to a Other World."
Rias didn't answer his question directly.
Or rather, this was a form of an answer.
"A Other World?!"
Even Gojo Satoru couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Although he had been talking with Rias, he was actually paying attention to his surroundings.
He possessed special eyes: the Six Eyes.
They could not only see through an opponent's Magic Formula, track and predict Cursed Energy trajectories, and perform fine manipulation of his own Cursed Energy, but they also provided 360-degree long-range vision.
Indeed, he had felt a massive sense of incongruity from the start. He had even wondered if this was someone's Innate Domain.
He hadn't expected... that even the world itself was different.
"I'm the one who's surprised, okay?"
Rias said gloomily, "Setting aside how a mere human could survive in the Dimensional Gap, just being able to enter the Dimensional Gap is already no easy feat."
"And you... look quite weak?"
"At least you don't look like someone who can walk in the Dimensional Gap. You must have fallen in by accident~"
"Weak?" Gojo Satoru's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he was a bit dazed. Then, as if suppressing something, the corners of his mouth turned into a wavy line.
"Maybe you're very strong in your world."
Rias shrugged and said, "But you haven't yet transcended the shackles of your original world or stepped out into a unique system. In my eyes... you're just so-so."
"The concepts within you and the Magic Formulas they form are interesting, but that's all... Your energy system originates from human negative emotions, and the essence of your life and source have failed to sublimate."
"So you're saying you're very strong?"
Gojo Satoru joked, "And you're not human? You couldn't be a Cursed Spirit, could you~"
"I'm alright."
The corners of Rias's mouth also curled up slightly as she said, "As for Cursed Spirits... I am not a low-level creature born from negative emotions."
Shackles of the original world, unique system, internal concepts, composed Magic Formulas, energy system, essence of life... Dimensional Gap.
He had heard many interesting terms.
Moreover, he really was being completely looked down upon~
By a mere loli.
But a Other World... it seemed quite interesting.
"By the way, that strange rainbow-like place is called the Dimensional Gap?"
Although he really wanted to have a fight with Rias.
Right now, serious business was more important.
Bullying a loli was a small matter; figuring out the current situation was the big problem.
More importantly, this loli seemed to know a lot of things.
"Distance exists between worlds, and that distance is the Dimensional Gap. In essence, it is already outside of the worlds~"
Rias asked, "How did you get in?"
Gojo Satoru pondered for a moment and said, "Um... while experimenting with a skill, I accidentally cut open space. I was curious and stuck my head in, then I fell in."
"Are you a Husky?"
Rias deadpanned.
Although she could see that Gojo Satoru seemed to be hiding something, Rias didn't care.
No doubt the truth was even more embarrassing than what Gojo Satoru said; to Rias, it was irrelevant.
"Men remain boys until they die; it's normal to have a bit of curiosity~"
Gojo Satoru said with a grin, "So, Little Rias, is there any way for me to go back?"
"I don't know~"
Rias shrugged and said, "First of all, without coordinates, it's very difficult for me to help you. Secondly, I have no reason to help you. Fishing you out of the Dimensional Gap, though accidental, is already a great favor to you, isn't it?"
"After all, a human like you wouldn't last long in the Dimensional Gap before perishing. Without coordinates, the probability of returning to your original world is pitifully low."
Gojo Satoru's Cursed Energy was almost infinite; even in a place like the Dimensional Gap, as long as he maintained his Limitless Cursed Technique, he wouldn't be consumed by the void.
But no matter what, Gojo Satoru was just a human.
The energy and metabolism required for carbon-based life meant he couldn't stay in the Dimensional Gap for too long.
And wanting to return to his original world was not something that could be easily done.
The method of movement within the Dimensional Gap was fundamentally different from movement within a world.
Even if Gojo Satoru could interfere with matter at the atomic level and dominate space, how could he move in a place where neither matter nor space existed?
