Under the carefully controlled positive energy output of Chinatsu's Reverse Cursed Technique, the soreness in Kana's shoulders was gradually healed.
Although Chinatsu's massage technique was quite unprofessional, Kana couldn't gauge the skill level of Chinatsu's technique anyway. The genuine tingling sensation from the Reverse Cursed Technique had already immersed her in an ocean of comfort.
A few minutes later, Chinatsu's massage session ended. Kana stretched out with a surprised yawn, simultaneously reaching out her hand to rub her previously sore shoulder. Now, she felt nothing but lightness in her body.
"Wow... that's amazing... Chinatsu, where did you learn this massage technique? The effects were so fast!" Kana exclaimed in surprise while rubbing her shoulder.
"Family secret, family secret. You need to pay more attention to taking care of your body from now on, alright? Don't think you can squander your health just because you're young; that will lead to big problems in the future."
Chinatsu lectured Kana like an old nagging mother. Kana smiled brightly, waving her hand to indicate that she understood and would definitely pay more attention in the future.
The two sat chatting in the inner room of the coffee shop. Perhaps because she had been preoccupied with mastering her Domain Expansion recently, chatting with someone outside the Jujutsu World made Chinatsu feel very relaxed.
This was the life Chinatsu wanted. Chinatsu herself did not pursue the power of the strongest in the world; she simply knew that in this world, she needed corresponding strength to ensure her life and future.
"Oh, right, why didn't Satoru Gojo come with you? Weren't you two always stuck together before?" Kana clapped her hands and asked with a smile.
Hearing Kana's words, Chinatsu couldn't help but cough aloud, thinking, "When did my relationship with that guy ever become 'stuck together'..." But sticking together aside, Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo actually had a very good relationship; they just tended to bicker due to their personalities.
If, one day, their interactions became respectful, and every word and action was harmonious, do not doubt it something would definitely be wrong.
Time passed minute by minute. Unknowingly, the two had chatted for over half an hour, and it was now time for lunch.
Just as Kana was about to ask Chinatsu if she wanted to eat lunch together, Chinatsu's phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
Chinatsu took the phone out of her pocket, opened the screen, and saw that it was a message from the Jujutsu World Higher-ups, stating that a Special Grade Cursed Spirit was suspected to have appeared in a mountainous area of Kagoshima, and asking her to handle it as soon as possible.
Seeing this message, Chinatsu couldn't help but click her tongue. After all, she had just managed to enter a relaxed state while chatting with Kana.
This counted as overtime!
Kana looked at the change in Chinatsu's expression. Having frequently served customers in the coffee shop, she had developed a keen ability to read people, and she immediately realized that Chinatsu suddenly had something urgent to attend to.
The words, "Let's go grab lunch together later," were swallowed, replaced by her taking her own phone out of her pocket.
"Let's exchange contact information. When we have time, we can get together with some of the old colleagues who used to work here and catch up."
"Sounds good. If we have time, let's go out for a meal. My treat."
After Chinatsu and Kana exchanged contact information, she stood up from her seat, waved her hand, and said goodbye to Kana.
Her initially relaxed mood became heavy once again after leaving the coffee shop. Chinatsu's eyes faintly flickered with pale blue light, and she still felt a lingering reluctance to leave her leisurely lifestyle.
"Just... push a little harder..." Chinatsu thought to herself. Just as she was about to flag down a taxi on the roadside to head to the location in Kagoshima where a Special Grade Cursed Spirit was suspected, her phone vibrated again.
Opening her phone, she saw that it was another message from the Jujutsu World Higher-ups, saying that a dedicated car was arranged for pickup and asking Chinatsu to wait patiently for a moment.
Chinatsu was a little confused. She had executed many Jujutsu missions, and this was the first time the Higher-Ups had specifically arranged transportation for her. Was it simply because the target this time was suspected to be a Special Grade Cursed Spirit?
Carrying this doubt, Chinatsu waited in place until a black dedicated car drove up from a distance and stopped in front of her.
"Are you Gojo Chinatsu? Please get in," the driver inside the dedicated car leaned his head out the window and said.
Once Chinatsu was securely seated inside the car, the driver stepped on the gas and drove full speed toward Kagoshima, the southernmost city in the country.
Uh, speaking of which, why is it Kagoshima again?
Chinatsu couldn't help but complain about the location, but compared to the waves of unease surging in her heart, complaining about Kagoshima was irrelevant.
She lay back in the left rear seat, her head slightly tilted to the left, gazing out at the rapidly changing scenery outside the window.
Two hours later.
"Miss, we have arrived at the destination."
"Alright."
Just seconds after Chinatsu stepped out of the car, the dedicated vehicle, which should have stayed put to wait for Chinatsu to exorcise the Cursed Spirit and then drive her away, suddenly started up again. It made a sharp U-turn, preparing to leave the area.
Seeing this, Chinatsu quickly extended two joined fingers toward the rapidly departing car. A scarlet orb rapidly condensed from her fingertips.
"Red!"
The lowest-power 'Red' shot out from Chinatsu's fingertip, instantly detonating the dedicated car. The driver managed to jump out at the last moment, rolling onto the ground, unable to move due to the shockwave of the explosion.
Chinatsu's eyes glowed with pale blue light. She did not continue to focus on the driver who had suddenly turned tail and fled, but instead turned sideways to look into the small woods.
"Stop hiding. I can see you clearly."
As soon as she spoke, a commotion suddenly arose in the small woods in front of her. A woman with a capable build, medium-short hair, and side bangs slowly emerged from the woods. A faint smile hung on her face, and most importantly, there was a horizontal scar across her forehead.
"As expected of the Rikugan. No, perhaps I should say, as expected of Gojo Chinatsu. Besides the insight granted by the Rikugan, your reaction time and thought process are also very keen." The woman said, smiling and clapping her hands as she walked out of the woods.
Hearing the applause, Chinatsu felt discomfort all over her body. Beads of sweat appeared on her face, and an unprecedented, intense sense of crisis surged from her heart.
Because the person before her was none other than the thousand-year-old brain-swapping Jujutsu Sorcerer, one of the two main antagonists of jujutsu kaisen.
