Future Yuji Itadori Joins the Chat Group Chapter 68: New Group Member Debuts, a Drowner from Another

"Se-Senior Itadori, excuse ... do you co here every day?"

Okkotsu Yuka finally couldn't help herself and asked curiously.

"Pretty much," Yuji Itadori replied as he placed a basket of ga coins on the table.

"Previously, others in the Jujutsu World were constantly looking for Senior Itadori..."

"While I generally don't proactively interfere in your business now, I haven't exactly been hiding my tracks either."

Yuji Itadori shrugged.

He wasn't lying; from start to finish, Yuji Itadori hadn't deliberately concealed his whereabouts. Even the regulars at the nearby Pachinko parlor knew his na.

It was just that Yuji Itadori hadn't expected those in the Jujutsu World to be so unable to find him.

Hearing Yuji Itadori's words, the siblings looked at each other, montarily at a loss for words.

After a few seconds of silence, Okkotsu Yuka and Okkotsu Tsurugi bowed sincerely to Yuji Itadori:

"Thank you so much this ti, Senior Itadori!"

"Thank ?"

"Maru told us. It was thanks to Senior stepping in to help that they were able to live in peace with us Earthlings... and we also heard that Senior Itadori took all the responsibility upon himself in the end!"

"This is what I should do as a senior. On the contrary, letting you young people step onto the battlefield is the failure of us elders."

Yuji Itadori shook his head and sighed.

"Grandpa told us about the past! The battles Senior Itadori experienced were far more cruel than what we encountered..."

Okkotsu Yuka's voice gradually trailed off. Everyone in the Jujutsu World knew about the battles that could be recorded in history.

Yuji Itadori, Satoru Gojo, and the others had successfully defeated Sukuna and saved humanity.

"I didn't do much. It's just because I had good companions, a good Sensei, and good brothers. All I needed to do was follow behind them and walk the correct path."

Yuji Itadori lowered his head, looking at his hands thoughtfully.

"Then, may I ask, did Senior Itadori have sothing specific in mind for calling us here today?"

Beside her, Okkotsu Tsurugi took a deep breath, wearing an incredibly serious expression; he was fully prepared.

"I called you here today to—"

Tsurugi and Yuka both took a deep breath at the sa ti.

"—have you take a good rest."

The two of them froze simultaneously.

"After all, you're just kids, right? So you should be doing things that kids do—I thought about how much I loved playing Pachinko when I was younger, so I wanted to bring you along to play a bit."

Yuji Itadori looked very serious.

Tsurugi and Yuka opened their mouths slightly, taking a few seconds to process Yuji Itadori's words.

It wasn't to entrust them with a heavy responsibility or conduct special training; it was simply to let them have so fun.

But...

Pachinko?

Senior Itadori was a bit different from what they had imagined.

But smiles soon returned to their faces as they nodded to Yuji Itadori.

Unknowingly, two hours passed.

At first, Yuka and Tsurugi didn't understand the rules, but after getting the hang of it, they quickly began to enjoy themselves.

Seeing the smiles radiating from their faces, Yuji Itadori seed to understand sothing.

This must be how Gojo-sensei felt when he looked at back then.

[You've been tagged]

Yuji Itadori saw the notification from the Chat Group and imdiately opened the group chat interface. Previous ssages rushed in like a waterfall.

Fortunately, this Chat Group had functions almost identical to a ssaging app, and Yuji Itadori quickly located the ssage tagging him.

[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: Senior, my death sentence seems to have been canceled. Do you know why? @Unsurrounded One]

Young Itadori had previously been sentenced to death for swallowing Sukuna. It was only because Satoru Gojo intervened that it was changed to a suspended sentence until all of Sukuna's Fingers were consud.

However, the Jujutsu World had previously wanted to eliminate the Young Itadori at every possible mont.

Now that Satoru Gojo had wiped out nearly all the higher-ups, the death sentence against Yuji Itadori naturally ca to an end.

[Unsurrounded One: Gojo-sensei probably did sothing.]

Yuji Itadori replied.

[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: Eh? Did you et Gojo-sensei, Senior?]

After Yuji Itadori helped them resolve the crisis of the Special Grade Cursed Spirit and Sukuna, he had separated from the Young Itadori, so the latter didn't know what Yuji Itadori had done.

Now that the timing was right, Yuji Itadori inford his other self of so of the details, though he didn't reveal everything that would happen in the future.

[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: I see! I didn't expect Gojo-sensei to accept it so quickly! But I'm still curious, how did Gojo-sensei convince the higher-ups? They wanted to execute so badly before.]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: I feel like your higher-ups have water in their brains. You're the vessel for that Sukuna guy; you're clearly an incredible existence. Shouldn't they protect you properly? Instead, they want an execution. That brain power is on par with an Aqua.]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: What kind of miraculous analogy is that?]

[Only Love White-Haired Elves: I don't agree with the actions of your higher-ups either. You haven't done anything wrong from the start, so why should you bear such guilt? If I were there, I would absolutely never allow them to do that. They have no right to decide your life or death at will.]

[Unsurrounded One: Luckily the incident is over. Gojo-sensei likely used so 'ans' to convince those people.]

Although Yuji Itadori said this, he knew well that Satoru Gojo likely used physical ans.

The Jujutsu World higher-ups of that world had probably been purged by Satoru Gojo.

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: By the way, is our function to recruit group mbers ready?]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Exactly! We can recruit a New Group mber again! Everyone's Check-in Points can increase! And it would be even better if it's a beautiful girl—provided she's a beautiful girl with a functioning brain.]

Sato Kazuma was now desperate for more Points.

Now, it wasn't just for his plan to make a fortune.

At the sa ti, Sato Kazuma wanted to further improve his strength—this way, when his team fell into a bizarre crisis because of his bizarre teammates doing bizarre things, he could at least clean up the ss.

Natsuki Subaru from the other world felt the sa.

He simply wanted to beco stronger so he could better help those around him and also cause less trouble for Yuji Itadori.

Without Yuji Itadori, Natsuki Subaru couldn't imagine how many tis he would have died in this world.

He might have even been stuck at the encounter with Elsa Granhiert.

If he could never get past the Bowel Hunter incident, what would happen to him?

Natsuki Subaru shook his head, pulling his thoughts back to reality:

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Should we just start the recruitnt?]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Fine by .]

[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: 1]

[Only Love White-Haired Elves: I'm fine with it too, but what does 1 an?]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: That's not important...]

[Unsurrounded One: Okay, then I'm preparing to recruit.]

Recruiting now required 2000 Points. However, after accumulating them over this period, everyone now had a certain amount of Points. Even Young Itadori had transferred part of his to Yuji Itadori.

[Points required to invite a new group mber: 2000]

[Invite a new group mber?]

Yuji Itadori imdiately chose to agree.

[Searching for suitable target]

[Search complete]

[Waiting for the other party to accept invitation]

[The other party has agreed]

[Joining...]

[mber 'Coin Decides Your Life or Death' has joined the group chat]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: What kind of nickna is that?]

[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: Hello, newcor!]

[Only Love White-Haired Elves: New mber, please take care of . I'm called Himl.]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Is the newcor a girl? Single?]

[Unsurrounded One: Coin Decides Your Life or Death, newcor, though it's a bit hard to explain, you can check the Group Announcent. All your questions will have answers. We are people from different worlds.]

After a brief silence, the New Group mber finally sent the first ssage.

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: I've finished reading the Group Announcent. Is this a group chat that links different worlds together? It's hard to believe, but it seems to be true.]

The new mber seed to accept it very quickly.

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Newbie! Are you a single girl?]

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: Male.]

[Only Love White-Haired Elves: Honestly, who asks for gender right when they join! Let's introduce ourselves first.]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Sato Kazuma.]

After learning the other party was male, Sato Kazuma seed to lose all his energy; his words were far less enthusiastic than before.

[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: I'm Yuji Itadori. Nice to et you.]

[Unsurrounded One: I'm also Yuji Itadori. Not just soone with the sa na, but an existence from a parallel ti-space.]

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: Parallel ti-space. It was ntioned in the Group Announcent.]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: I'm Natsuki Subaru. Nice to et you!]

The mont Natsuki Subaru finished his introduction, the newcor's ssage was sent instantly—

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: You said... what is your na?]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: I'm Natsuki Subaru. Is sothing wrong?]

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: My na is also Natsuki Subaru.]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: For real?]

Natsuki Subaru's eyes widened, finding it hard to believe.

The probability of soone having the exact sa na as him was simply too low.

Another 'him' had joined the group?

But thinking about it, there were already two Yuji Itadoris in the Chat Group, so it wasn't impossible for another him to appear.

Maybe it's a future version of himself!

Natsuki Subaru was actually full of curiosity about the future, so he hurriedly sent a photo—a selfie in the mirror.

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Are you from Another Worldline!!]

A few seconds later, the new mber sent his own photo.

It was a face almost identical to Natsuki Subaru's.

However, the heavy dark circles under his eyes spoke of a lack of sleep, and his face was sowhat gaunt.

And unlike Natsuki Subaru's vibrant appearance, the newcor looked incredibly gloomy. His eyes didn't even have any light in them, as if his soul was no longer there.

[Unsurrounded One: Have you been through sothing?]

Yuji Itadori felt surprised.

In his heart, Natsuki Subaru was a youth full of vigor, much like Sato Kazuma.

But the other Natsuki Subaru before him lacked that aura entirely.

On the contrary, those eyes looked incredibly dark, as if they would swallow everything around them.

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: Been through sothing? Nothing special.]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Wait, wait, what's your situation? Did you travel to the world where Emilia is, just like ?]

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: Yes.]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Then how long have you been in that world?]

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: How long? I haven't counted carefully. It should be a few years. You?]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: It's only been less than a month for .]

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: Less than a month? Then are you at Roswaal's Mansion?]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Yes...]

By naming Roswaal, Natsuki Subaru could confirm the other party was indeed another him.

It really was a future him.

But...

How did his future self beco like that?

While Natsuki Subaru was in a daze, the new mber's ssage had already arrived.

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: So, is Rem dead on your side?]

[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Rem? Rem died? What are you talking about? Rem is perfectly fine?]

Natsuki Subaru hurriedly asked about the other's situation and exchanged information with his other self. Only then did they learn what had happened to each other.

The future Natsuki Subaru had found Reinhard in the Royal Capital. Although heavily injured, he successfully repelled Elsa Granhiert and went to Roswaal's Mansion with Emilia.

In terms of results, their experiences weren't very different, except that the original Natsuki Subaru only died once and wasn't injured because he had Yuji Itadori's assistance.

However, the next words from the other Natsuki Subaru caused everyone to feel shocked.

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: Rem suddenly died, and Ram believes it's my fault and wants to kill —]

It was only then that Yuji Itadori noticed that in the photo the New Group mber sent, there was an incredibly glaring strangulation mark on his neck.
