Toji Fushiguro's pupils trembled; he completely didn't understand why Chinatsu would save him, especially since he not only failed his mission but also lost to her. And he had genuinely killed her brother… Just as Toji Fushiguro thought this, Satoru Gojo, who was lying on the ground not far away, slowly got up from the ground like Chinatsu, as if coming back to life a second time.
Seeing Toji Fushiguro's shocked, speechless expression, Chinatsu immediately guessed what he was surprised about. She couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle softly.
Amidst Chinatsu's laughter, Satoru Gojo, who wanted to go wild but couldn't find an outlet, slowly walked to Chinatsu's side with his hands in his pockets.
"Sis, you were one step ahead of me again."
"Otherwise, how could I be your sis~"
Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo chatted casually in front of Toji Fushiguro, seemingly completely ignoring him.
Just minutes ago, they were enemies, even to the point where they almost killed each other, not just a minor squabble between friends.
A saint?
This adjective suddenly came to Toji Fushiguro's mind, but almost immediately, he shook his head, dismissing that possibility.
Finally, he couldn't suppress the doubt in his heart and turned to Chinatsu, asking,
"Why… why did you save me?"
Hearing Toji Fushiguro's question, Chinatsu turned to look at him, while Satoru Gojo turned to look at Chinatsu. Although he wasn't interested in Toji Fushiguro's life or death, he was indeed curious why his sister made such a decision.
Soft-hearted?
Satoru Gojo didn't believe that word would ever describe his sister; there had to be a reason.
Facing their gazes, Chinatsu paused for a moment, then extended both hands and raised one finger on each.
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"The truth."
Toji Fushiguro chose the truth without the slightest hesitation. He had no leisure to choose a lie and let Chinatsu specifically tease him.
Switching to truth mode, Chinatsu put one hand on her hip and sighed helplessly. Under their intense gazes, she sincerely spoke the truth.
"Hmm… I simply found you pleasing to the eye?"
"Then you should tell the [lie] instead."
Toji Fushiguro's face clearly said, "Do you really take me for a fool?" Satoru Gojo next to Chinatsu also twitched slightly, telling Chinatsu to stop joking.
Chinatsu was helpless; in this day and age, no one believes the truth.
"A lie, then. The lie is that I plan to overthrow the current corrupt Jujutsu World and carry out major reforms in the near future. To achieve this goal, the strength of one or two people is not enough, so I want to recruit strong individuals who share my vision."
Chinatsu shrugged, reciting the template answer for lie mode.
Of course, although she called it a lie, it was actually also the truth. Overthrowing the corrupt Jujutsu World and carrying out reforms was indeed Chinatsu's goal.
However, this matter had nothing to do with saving Toji Fushiguro; it could be judged as a mismatch between the question and the answer, hence it was a "lie."
But it was this "lie" that Toji Fushiguro genuinely took to heart, even lowering his head in deep thought.
The Zenin Family, where he was born, was a microcosm of the corruption in the Jujutsu World. It could be said that no one detested the current Jujutsu World more than him.
"Do you… have confidence?"
"Reforming the Jujutsu World is still somewhat difficult, but if it's just overthrowing the Jujutsu World, I think you should already have the answer in your heart."
"Indeed."
Toji Fushiguro looked at Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo in front of him, then subconsciously raised his hand and pressed it against the wound where he had just been pierced by "Hollow Technique: Purple."
Now, under Chinatsu's positive output of Reverse Cursed Technique, the wound that would have killed him in less than a minute had completely healed. If not for his tattered clothes, there would be no trace of the damage from his flesh being blown away.
Possessing the power to destroy everything while also possessing the power to heal everything—this was truly a monster.
However… unexpectedly, not disliked.
"If you truly plan to target the Jujutsu World in the future, you can find me. I will help, but if you ask me to join Jujutsu High, please allow me to decline."
Toji Fushiguro said this, and Chinatsu naturally didn't insist. Or rather, she never intended to drag Toji Fushiguro to Jujutsu High, as that would be too unconventional.
Just as the three of them were chatting like friends, a giant fleshworm Cursed Spirit suddenly rushed out from a distance, opening its bloody maw towards Toji Fushiguro.
Toji Fushiguro reacted instantly. He picked up his Cursed Tool, the soul split katana, and swiftly cut the fleshworm Cursed Spirit into pieces with several sharp slashes.
Suguru Geto arrived at the scene, holding the cloud of wandering triple section staff. He had intended to shout to Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo that he was also here to help.
But as he got closer and took another look, he immediately sensed that the atmosphere was off, and three large question marks appeared above his head.
Satoru Gojo, with a silly grin, quickly went to Suguru Geto's side and, using their language of close friends, explained as concisely as possible what had just happened.
Riko Amanai and her maid, Kuroi Misato, also emerged from the Jujutsu High building after seeing that the situation seemed safe.
Seeing that Riko Amanai made her own choice and did not meet a tragic fate, Chinatsu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Before seeing Riko Amanai appear, she was afraid that the chain reaction she had caused would lead Riko Amanai to eventually agree to assimilate.
It's good that she didn't assimilate, it's good that she didn't assimilate.
Although doing so would definitely lead to some new plot developments, for example, Chinatsu could already guess that in the near future, she, Satoru Gojo, and Suguru Geto would be summoned by a certain Higher-Up of the Jujutsu World, who would then question them about this and that.
While it would be troublesome, compared to Riko losing her life, these troubles were truly trivial.
Chinatsu and the others talked about many things inside Jujutsu High. To be safe, Suguru Geto accompanied Riko Amanai and her maid, Kuroi Misato, back home to ensure their safety.
Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo, on the other hand, turned and headed to the Tomb Chamber inside Jujutsu High, where Tengen resided, preparing to confront this immortal Jujutsu Sorcerer who had lived for over a thousand years.
As for Toji Fushiguro… his phone buzzed in his pocket. He opened the screen to find a call from a Star Plasma Cult executive, likely wanting to ask Toji if the assassination mission had been completed.
Toji Fushiguro silently added the number to his blacklist, turned off his phone, and put it back in his pocket.
"What should I do next? Never mind, I'll just go home for a long-overdue visit…"
