Yuji Itadori thought for a mont that he had misheard.
Cut her?
What kind of strange request was this?
Are young people nowadays all like this?
This was the first ti Yuji Itadori truly felt like he might be falling behind the tis.
"Um, may I ask why?"
Yuji Itadori inquired; perhaps there was so special reason behind this request.
"To be constantly slashed... just thinking about that continuous sensation of pain~ feels like it would be wonderful!"
While Yuji Itadori was in a daze, Sato Kazuma, who had been sent flying earlier, had already scrambled up and was attempting a flying kick at Darkness.
"Darkness, you idiot, what are you talking about?"
"This is a rare chance to et Mr. Itadori! I heard Mr. Itadori possesses Slashing-type Magic that can continuously cut into a target's body~ Ah~ so good~"
Darkness pressed her fingers against her face, seemingly lost in a fantasy as her face flushed and her body writhed.
Looking at Darkness, Yuji Itadori couldn't help but recall Elsa Granhiert, the Bowel Hunter from Natsuki Subaru's world.
They felt like the sa type of person.
In fact, Darkness seed to be a level above Elsa.
"That's enough, Darkness! You just t Senior Itadori for the first ti and you're already saying such bizarre things?!"
"This is an opportunity I've fought hard for! Mr. Itadori! If there's any combat later, please let act as the vanguard! I'll use my body to block any attacks from those Witchbeasts! I'll be beaten until I'm bruised and battered, my clothes in tatters, my head spinning~~~"
The fanaticism in her eyes beca more obvious, and her voice grew more hurried.
"Uh, Senior Itadori, let's just ignore her for now and discuss the main business."
Sato Kazuma shoved Darkness behind him with an elbow and approached Yuji Itadori.
"Senior Itadori, is there sothing I can help you with this ti?"
"Oh, I actually have so questions I want to ask Aqua."
The group sat around the long table in the hall. Yuji Itadori opened the Group Inventory and took out a box.
He felt that there was no need to deliberately hide the Chat Group in front of these people, because—
"Where did that co from?"
Darkness asked curiously.
"My master has mastered all sorts of Forbidden Magic! Doing sothing like this is child's play for him!"
gumin stood with her arms crossed, looking as though everything was within her expectations.
"Darkness, you've lived in a world of glamour and light, so naturally you can't glimpse the full view of the abyss!"
anwhile, Aqua was staring solemnly at the box.
This was precisely the vessel containing Sukuna.
"I feel a very evil presence!!! It's similar to the scent I slled on you the first ti, Itadori!"
Aqua's eyes widened as she spoke to Yuji Itadori.
"What is this thing, Itadori?!"
"This is Sukuna's Finger. I brought it from Jujutsu High."
Yuji Itadori explained.
Aqua knew about the Chat Group, and Sato Kazuma had given her a rough introduction to Yuji Itadori's world, so she was aware of Sukuna's existence.
"Sukuna's Finger? What's that?"
Hearing Aqua's words, gumin's curiosity was piqued. She craned her neck to stare at the box.
Especially seeing the dense layer of Talismans used for sealing, her chuunibyou heart imdiately surged.
So cool!
She didn't know what it was, but it was definitely powerful!
gumin's one visible eye projected a gaze of intense anticipation.
"This is... sothing like a seal for a certain Witchbeast?"
Yuji Itadori thought for a mont and explained using terms that fit this world's worldview.
"Part of a Witchbeast's soul resides inside."
"A legendary sealed Demon God! Is it sothing like that?!!! That's why there are so many Talismans! These are all used for the seal, right!"
gumin leaned forward, her body almost flat against the table, her eyes fixed on the box like a predator sighting its prey.
"That's right."
Yuji Itadori nodded.
"After all, Sukuna emits an evil aura. If it's not sealed, it could cause very serious consequences."
"Is it to be purified? For a goddess like , that's a piece of cake! I assu you ca here, Itadori, because you wanted to use my divine power!"
As Aqua spoke, she puffed out her chest, resting a hand lightly upon it with a look of pure pride. She even used a 'look at how a real pro does it' glance toward Sato Kazuma.
"Yes, I want to trouble you, Aqua, to purify Sukuna's Finger. This Cursed Object is quite troubleso; in this state, ordinary ans cannot affect it!"
Before Yuji Itadori could finish, Aqua had already raised her hand, her smug smile full of impatience.
"—Leave it to ! I'll purify it right now! I'll make it vanish from this world completely! Kazuma, witness the true power of a goddess!"
No matter what kind of Cursed Technique had been applied to this Cursed Object before, or how indestructible it was, it ant nothing in the face of the goddess Aqua.
"Um, wait a second!"
Yuji Itadori quickly stopped Aqua.
"What's wrong, Itadori? Trust ! Purifying sothing like this is effortless for !"
"No, I don't want it to vanish. I was thinking of sothing like an Exorcism, to purify the negative parts of its power and leave only a pure existence. I thought it might be useful later on."
Yuji Itadori explained.
Cursed Energy itself is a negative power, and the intense anger and hatred within Sukuna himself made these Fingers emit an incredibly evil aura.
In the past, it was precisely because of Sukuna's Finger that a large number of Cursed Spirits were generated in Yuji Itadori's school.
That was the beginning of everything.
"So I wanted to ask if you could do that, Aqua."
"Leave it to ! I am a grand goddess, after all! Even non-physical Purification is no problem! However, I need to be able to touch his soul."
Aqua wore a look of imnse pride.
"Currently, this Cursed Object is in an 'unactivated' state. It doesn't have its own consciousness yet. A Vessel would need to swallow it for his soul to awaken."
Yuji Itadori described the general situation of Sukuna's Finger.
"Does that an we have to unseal it first?"
Sato Kazuma said with so concern.
"Nothing dangerous will happen, right?"
"Probably not. As long as it isn't swallowed, there shouldn't be a problem."
Yuji Itadori said after thinking for a mont.
There are no Cursed Spirits in this world, so theoretically, even if Sukuna's Finger is unsealed, it won't attract or create Cursed Spirits.
"The only thing to be careful of is that these Fingers are, after all, Special Grade Cursed Objects. The miasma they emit might have so effect—"
"That ans we can just open it, Master!"
Before Yuji Itadori could finish, gumin could no longer restrain herself. She scurried across the table to the box, ripped off the Talismans in one go, and flipped the lid open.
Several of Sukuna's Fingers lay quietly inside.
"So these are the fingers of the Witchbeast known as Sukuna! Just being near them, I can feel an incredibly powerful presence!! Ah!!! I feel it—you, as a Demon God, have been sealed here for a thousand years of loneliness! You've been longing to appear and destroy the entire world!"
gumin struck a dead-serious pose, staring at the fingers while muttering sothing like a chant.
"I also feel an intense aura..."
Darkness said with a frown, then turned her head toward Sato Kazuma.
"Kazuma... Kazuma?!"
Everyone's attention shifted to Sato Kazuma, who was currently foaming at the mouth, having collapsed unconscious in his seat.
Yuji Itadori was stunned.
This was the second ti in half an hour he had been stunned.
"Oh! It looks like Kazuma died!"
Aqua tilted her head slightly, looking at the breathless Sato Kazuma, and spoke slowly.
Heaven.
"This is..."
Sato Kazuma looked around. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly realized he had been to this place before.
This was the place where he first t Aqua and was about to be reincarnated!
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Sato Kazuma... you just died suddenly due to an accident."
Just then, a gentle voice sounded in front of him.
He turned to look. Sitting before him was a girl in priestess robes with short white hair. her features were as delicate as a porcelain doll.
"Who are you?"
"I am the goddess Eris. After Senior Aqua left, I took over the reincarnation work for this area."
Eris had a gentle smile on her face and a kind, friendly tone, forming a sharp contrast to Aqua.
"Strange, how did I die again?"
Sato Kazuma scratched his head.
He rembered he was talking to Yuji Itadori about Cursed Objects, and in the blink of an eye, he was here.
"Um... I'm very sorry, Mr. Sato Kazuma... it seems... that thing called a Cursed Object... the miasma it emitted was sothing Mr. Sato Kazuma's body... couldn't handle."
Sato Kazuma was stunned.
He then rembered that Yuji Itadori had just started to give a warning when that idiot gumin couldn't wait to open the box.
And he had been right next to it!
"After all, Mr. Kazuma, your constitution really isn't great—but it's okay, Mr. Sato Kazuma! I can help you undergo reincarnation once more!"
"Reincarnate again?"
"Yes, after all, you've worked so hard on this journey, Mr. Sato Kazuma."
Eris said very seriously.
As a goddess, she could see every move Sato Kazuma and Aqua made in the Isekai from the divine realm.
And this had raised many questions in Eris's mind.
"It really is... a world of difference..."
Looking at the sincere Eris, Sato Kazuma felt like his tears were about to fall.
This was completely different from Aqua!!!!
"By the way, Mr. Sato Kazuma, I have so questions I'd like to ask you."
Eris wore a very serious expression.
"What is it?"
"That Chat Group and Yuji Itadori... what exactly is the situation?"
From the heaven, Eris could clearly see everything happening in the Isekai.
But what was the deal with Yuji Itadori?
He didn't belong to this world, yet he could co here without a goddess's guidance.
Furthermore, Eris had heard Sato Kazuma and Aqua ntion the Chat Group before, but even as a goddess, she couldn't perceive its existence at all.
This was a power that exceeded the gods.
"This... I can't really explain it easily. Basically, it's a Chat Group only I can see that can link people from different worlds together. Speaking of which, it seems the Group Leader is tagging in the group."
As Sato Kazuma spoke, he opened the Chat Group.
[Unsurrounded One: Kazuma? Can you see my ssage? Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die]
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: What happened?]
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Aren't you two together?]
[Unsurrounded One: Uh... Kazuma just died.]
Yuji Itadori sent those words after thinking for a few seconds.
[Only Love White-Haired Elves: What do you an, died?]
[Unsurrounded One: This... I don't really know how to explain it.]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Um, Group Leader, I'm currently in heaven!]
Sato Kazuma replied imdiately.
"It seems one can use the Chat Group even after physical death."
[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: You can still speak in the group after death? Does that an you can also...]
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: You an Return by Death, right! You have that ability too! Don't worry, in this Chat Group, ntioning that term won't have any consequences!]
Natsuki Subaru believed that his other self definitely possessed the Return by Death ability.
[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: I see.]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Mine doesn't seem to be Return by Death! I'm actually dead! My soul is in heaven, hey!]
[Only Love White-Haired Elves: Why is it like this? Did you encounter a particularly dangerous enemy?]
Himl was a bit surprised. With Yuji Itadori present, there shouldn't have been any danger, yet Sato Kazuma died anyway?
What kind of enemy could achieve such a feat?
Sato Kazuma edited several sentences, but in the end, he didn't send any of them—
No matter how he phrased it, it felt so embarrassing!!!
Clearly, everyone else was fine, and he was the only one who died!
