Chapter 4 - It's Really Hard Work, Being a Driver This Late

After finishing the discussion about Itadori's situation, Kenjaku continued analyzing the issue of Gojo Satoru for the group.

"Now that we're done with Sukuna, next is Gojo Satoru. As for him, my suggestion is that instead of trying to kill him, it would be more realistic to find a way to seal him."

Hearing this, Jogo asked in dissatisfaction,"Huh? Why do something so troublesome? Can't we just kill him if we work together?"

Kenjaku shrugged helplessly."Regrettably, he might escape with ease. In the worst-case scenario, all of you could be exorcised on the spot."

"..." Jogo fell silent for a moment."Then regarding sealing, do you have a good plan?"

"Of course. I plan to use the Special Grade Cursed Object 'Prison Realm' to seal Gojo Satoru," Kenjaku replied calmly.

The appearance of the Prison Realm—the key tool against Gojo Satoru—did not surprise Mahito. He had gradually come to accept that the manga's content was a 100% accurate prediction of the future.

However, the existence of the Prison Realm was also one of the reasons Mahito chose to cooperate with Kenjaku for the time being.

Because even if he used a refined Idle Transfiguration to make himself look like Geto Suguru, his Cursed Energy would be seen through instantly by Gojo Satoru, who possessed the Six Eyes.

He wouldn't be able to trigger Gojo Satoru's memories to fulfill the one-minute requirement for the Prison Realm's sealing condition, as Kenjaku did in the manga.

In stark contrast to the others' calm reactions, Jogo fell into extreme excitement upon hearing the name "Prison Realm."

"The Prison Realm is actually in your hands! That absolute taboo!"

As Jogo spoke, his excitement was evident—not only from the small volcano erupting on his head, but also from the intense heat radiating from his body.

Everyone in the restaurant could feel the abnormal rise in temperature.

"Don't get too excited, Jogo. It's getting too hot in here," Kenjaku advised as he watched the cursed spirit's temperature rise.

But Jogo's mind was filled with only one thought—adding the precious Cursed Object, the Prison Realm, to his collection.

After directly setting fire to the restaurant manager who had come to take their order, Kenjaku continued his serious persuasion.

"I hope you don't overdo it. It would be troublesome if you attracted Gojo Satoru with such a commotion."

Mahito also patted Jogo on the shoulder."That's enough."

After burning all those screaming "monkeys" who tried to escape, Jogo asked Kenjaku a question.

"So, Geto, how many of Sukuna's fingers do you think I'm worth in strength?"

"Roughly around eight or nine fingers, optimistically speaking..."

"I'll be the one to kill Gojo Satoru! In exchange, give the Prison Realm to me—I want to add it to my collection!" Jogo excitedly proposed.

Hearing this, Kenjaku didn't refuse immediately. Instead, he chuckled and reminded him:

"Gojo Satoru is very strong. It's best not to underestimate him."

This could be considered one of the few sincere truths Kenjaku ever spoke.

But Kenjaku was not kind-hearted. He simply found it a pity. Whether as a cursed spirit under his manipulation or as a partner in restraining Gojo Satoru, Jogo had significant value to him.

Although Jogo was not as indispensable as Mahito, it would still be troublesome if the plan was disrupted just because he rushed to his death with such a foolish idea.

Meanwhile, Mahito—the second person present who knew Jogo's fate—did not step forward to stop him.

It wasn't because he knew Jogo wouldn't die at Gojo Satoru's hands, but because he wanted to use Jogo's battle with Gojo Satoru to test his own ideas.

Clapping his hands, Mahito spoke on Jogo's behalf:

"Sounds like a good idea. So, Geto, can you provide us with Gojo Satoru's movements?"

"I can. But if you really go, you will die, Jogo," Kenjaku said calmly, though his tone was serious.

Jogo didn't care and spoke bluntly:"Shut up. Just give me Gojo Satoru's movements!"

By now, the smell of burning meat had drifted outside, and pedestrians on the street had begun to notice the disturbance inside the restaurant.

"Fine. Once Gojo Satoru leaves Jujutsu High, I'll provide you with his movements."

After finishing their conversation at the restaurant, the Four Calamities and Kenjaku temporarily parted ways.

Originally, Kenjaku had intended to move together with them, but Mahito refused, saying that since they were about to fight Gojo Satoru, they needed a proper "warm-up," which would inevitably cause a big disturbance.

Kenjaku did not insist. He only mentioned that he would pass along Gojo Satoru's movements later through that bird-like cursed spirit.

Did Mahito lie? Not entirely. The "warm-up" part was real—but the claim about causing a large disturbance was false.

Jogo looked at Mahito suspiciously."What are you planning to show us? Don't tell me it's another blank manga book."

Mahito had no intention of revealing the manga's future-predicting ability to the others.

After all, he had already tested it on the way to Shibuya. Not only Jogo, but even Hanami and Dagon couldn't see its contents.

Mahito smiled and replied,"Still interested in that? Unfortunately, it's already been burned."

Jogo clenched his already hardened fists. He swore that if Mahito made another joke about the blank manga, he would definitely beat him up.

"What I want to show you is a technique I learned from that manga—'Simple Domain.'"

Just as Jogo was about to fulfill his "promise" and attack Mahito, he suddenly felt a surge of Cursed Energy emanating from him…

That night, Mahito stood on a deserted highway, waving at a vehicle approaching from afar.

The vehicle was driven by Ijichi Kiyotaka, who had just dropped off Gojo Satoru.

Seeing the vague figure in the distance, Ijichi immediately slammed on the brakes.

But as the car slowly approached Mahito, he began to regret it—because he could feel an overwhelming and terrifying Cursed Energy.

By then, Mahito had already moved to the side of the car window and said with a smile:

"It must be tough, working as a driver this late at night."
