New week bonus chapter
.......
Nanako and Mimiko arrived at the Gojo Family residence. Although they had mentally prepared themselves, they were still stunned by the magnificent sight inside the mansion, repeatedly exclaiming, "Wow, wow, wow."
Not long after they entered the mansion, the servants who were cleaning the courtyard noticed Chinatsu and the others, and slowly approached them with smiles.
As they got closer, they also noticed Nanako and Mimiko beside their young mistress. Although they were wearing luxurious clothes, the frailty stemming from long-term starvation and hardship could not be hidden by mere clothing.
Everyone immediately understood that these were the investment targets their young mistress had brought back from the countryside.
In fact, this kind of thing was not uncommon for major families in the Jujutsu World. Coupled with the thought of their young mistress's saint-like disposition, everyone felt the sentiment, "As expected of the young mistress!"
The group originally intended to show what they considered to be kind and friendly smiles to reassure Nanako and Mimiko, but the two girls, having mustered their courage, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and introduced themselves to everyone.
"My name is Kasaba Nanako!"
"My name is Kasaba Mimiko!"
"Please take care of us from now on!"
After speaking, the two girls politely bowed slightly, which startled the servants. These people had always occupied the lowest status within the Gojo Family; normally, no one would ever bow to them.
However, after receiving such a polite greeting from Nanako and Mimiko, their hearts felt warm. This was not due to the vanity of having someone of lower status than themselves, but a purer emotion.
After bidding farewell to the group, the repressed tension in Nanako and Mimiko instantly released. They gasped for air and turned to Chinatsu, asking how they had performed.
Chinatsu's assessment was naturally that they did very well; being polite was very important. Although those people were merely the lowest-ranking servants in the Gojo Family in the eyes of others, in Chinatsu's eyes, they were the relatives who had looked after her since childhood and shared a certain blood connection with her.
The feudalism of the Jujutsu families was like a microcosm of the corruption throughout the entire Jujutsu World. Chinatsu's efforts to change the Gojo Family were also preparations for the near future.
Subsequently, Chinatsu arranged the living quarters for Nanako and Mimiko within the Gojo Family residence. With Chinatsu's endorsement, the Gojo Family naturally wouldn't neglect the two girls, and leading a stable daily life would absolutely not be a problem.
Of course, if they only wanted a stable daily life, relying solely on Chinatsu would be enough. But if they wanted to gain recognition from the clan members, they would need to work hard.
However, Chinatsu was not overly concerned about the issue of the two girls' Jujutsu talent.
In the original work, the Disaster Cursed Spirit Jogo had the strength to defeat a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer with a basic attack, yet the two girls managed to withstand one of Jogo's blows using the effect of their special Cursed Technique, and they emerged virtually unscathed.
They are mechanism anomalies, definite mechanism anomalies.
In the world of Jujutsu, excellent mechanisms often prove more potent than excellent raw stats. If Nanako and Mimiko work hard, their future achievements should not be poor.
After settling Nanako and Mimiko, Chinatsu was not in a hurry to return to Jujutsu High. Third-years like them essentially had no classes, and even returning to school was not a mandatory requirement.
Lying on the bed in her long-missed room, Chinatsu clasped her hands behind her head, her pair of pale blue eyes quietly gazing at the ceiling.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised one hand and made the gesture that Satoru Gojo made in the original work when deploying the Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void.
Of course, this was just for show; she couldn't deploy the Domain even slightly.
Chinatsu let out a helpless sigh. A Domain is the manifestation of an innate domain, which, simply put, is related to the spirit. Therefore, even people with the same Cursed Technique might not necessarily possess the same Domain.
However, if Chinatsu followed the path of "Unlimited Void" in her training, she would definitely save a lot of brain cells, but Chinatsu wanted to see if she could create a Domain unique to herself.
Thinking that she was unnecessarily looking for trouble and making things hard for herself, Chinatsu, lying on the bed, couldn't help but sigh and softly complain, "I really am... so dramatic."
The next day, early morning.
Chinatsu got up from her bed. Nanako and Mimiko were settled within the Gojo Family to grow, and she was preparing to return to Jujutsu High.
However, she didn't immediately set off for Jujutsu High. Instead, she turned and headed toward the storage warehouse for Cursed Tools inside the Gojo Family residence.
Auctions for Cursed Tools in the Jujutsu World are held roughly every three or four years. Even if there are no particularly attractive Cursed Tools, the elders attending the auction will still buy at least one interesting Cursed Tool to place in the warehouse.
The family warehouse was filled with dazzling Cursed Tools; even special grade cursed tools were present.
After a quick scan, Chinatsu retrieved two Grade 1 Cursed Tools: one was a gauntlet-type Cursed Tool, and the other resembled a cleaver-type Cursed Tool.
In the near future, her underclassmen Haibara and Kento Nanami would encounter a Cursed Spirit far beyond their ability to resist due to a "misjudgment" by the higher-ups, resulting in Haibara's death and Kento Nanami barely surviving.
If it were merely a "misjudgment," then Chinatsu would only need to tell the two of them to be more careful and improve their strength.
But if this was not a "misjudgment" but a deliberate act by the Jujutsu higher-ups, intended to weaken the strength of Satoru Gojo's Jujutsu High, then simply being careful and improving their strength would likely not be enough to change this future.
It wasn't that Chinatsu liked to think in terms of "conspiracy theories"; it was mainly that the current corrupt Jujutsu World genuinely had the potential to resort to such despicable tactics.
They feared Special Grade Sorcerers forming factions, yet they dared not directly attack them, so they could only secretly target others to weaken their influence.
To avoid such a future, whether necessary or not, Haibara and Kento Nanami both needed a "backup hidden energy," or what is known as a trump card.
Thinking this, Chinatsu left the family warehouse with the two Cursed Tools and headed for Jujutsu High. If she couldn't save Haibara, let alone whether Suguru Geto would suffer a mental breakdown, Chinatsu herself might become obsessed and launch her Jujutsu World reform plan prematurely...
