Facing Chinatsu's sudden appearance, Nanako, who was tied with ropes, and Mimiko, whose body was immobile, first showed a panicked expression, then pursed their lips in shame.
Who wants others to see them in such a embarrassing state? What's more, Chinatsu was someone they respected. If their bodies weren't immobile, they would have really wanted to dig a big hole with their toes and crawl into it.
Seeing this scene, Chinatsu, who was covering her forehead with her hand, knew exactly what these two girls were up to. She even knew how they ended up in this state.
Nanako was affected by Mimiko's Cursed Technique.
Mimiko was affected by Nanako's Cursed Technique.
Although neither the original work nor the official fanbook detailed the names and effects of their Cursed Techniques, based on the plot and their dialogue, one could infer something. Moreover, Chinatsu possessed a very special pair of eyes.
"Although you'll recover once the Cursed Technique's duration ends or your Cursed Energy is depleted, what you two did was still a bit too reckless."
Chinatsu said this as she walked towards the two girls.
She first reached out and untied Nanako, who was entangled in ropes. Nanako let out a sigh of relief, picked up her phone which had slipped from her hand, and took a picture of Mimiko with a "click!"
With the sound of the camera, the Cursed Technique's effect on Mimiko also vanished, restoring her ability to move.
Nanako and Mimiko exchanged glances, both showing awkward smiles. In reality, they had only intended to suddenly scare each other.
Who knew that the sisters had such telepathy? Both of them made their moves simultaneously—one with ropes, the other taking a picture with a phone—and it resulted in the comical scene Chinatsu witnessed.
Chinatsu couldn't say much to these two girls. After all, it's normal for children to be playful. Taking away a young person's youth is an unforgivable act, and the same goes for a child's pure childhood.
However, with her Rikugan, Chinatsu could tell that Nanako and Mimiko hadn't neglected their training just to play.
From her unique perspective, Nanako and Mimiko were enveloped by wisps of Cursed Energy resembling flames, though these flames were not fierce.
Their "level" had clearly increased. People with Jujutsu Sorcerer potential usually awaken between 4 and 6 years old, and most Jujutsu Sorcerers who have mastered the basic usage of a Cursed Technique have the ability to deal with the lowest-grade Cursed Spirits.
Now, they had successfully advanced from "unranked" to "Grade 4 Jujutsu Sorcerers." They must have consulted members of their clan during their training.
Nanako's awakened Cursed Technique is called [Shadow Capture Window]. Its basic application involves reflective surfaces like mirrors, but with the changing times, this Cursed Technique could even be combined with a phone's camera function.
After she uses her phone to take a picture of a target or scene, Nanako can use her Cursed Technique to interfere with the objects within the photograph, giving it strong versatility and potential.
Mimiko's awakened Cursed Technique is [Rope Binding], a Cursed Technique that allows her to freely manipulate ropes to restrain or even strangle others.
Perhaps Mimiko's Cursed Technique seems simpler compared to Nanako's, but sometimes simplicity isn't a bad thing.
Because of the Cursed Technique's simplicity, there's no need to expend extra effort researching its various intricacies; all energy can be focused on a single point.
Chinatsu gently stroked their heads with both hands. To reform the Jujutsu World, merely killing those currently in power is not enough. The Jujutsu World needs to change from the inside out; it needs fresh blood.
Nanako and Mimiko are this fresh blood, and so too will be the future Itadori, Megumi, Nobara, and others.
In the original work, Itadori bore the fate of "dying surrounded by everyone," Fushiguro Megumi had his body taken over by Ryomen Sukuna, who toyed with his flesh and soul, and Nobara's life stopped at the moment of her death, her fate unknown.
Such treatment makes it difficult to associate them with their roles as male lead, second male lead, and female lead. This combination, often used for power-ups and comebacks in other works, even faced the risk of a final wipeout.
But such a future... Chinatsu would not allow or accept it!
Through Chinatsu's deep, azure eyes, she pierced through time, declaring her resolve.
Meanwhile, Gojo Satoru, who had experienced Chinatsu's Domain, did not leave the training ground within the school. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground.
He closed his eyes in frustration, trying to recall the feeling his sister's Domain Expansion had given him. His experience bar in the realm of Domains was already at 90%, and now there were clear signs of it continuing to rise.
Geto Suguru and the others naturally wouldn't disturb him upon seeing this scene. Domain Expansion is the ultimate secret of Jujutsu, and often a single thought or idea determines whether a Jujutsu Sorcerer can successfully expand a Domain.
After maintaining a safe distance from Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru also couldn't contain his excitement. He turned to Shoko beside him and asked his question.
"Shoko, what do you think my Domain would be like if I mastered it in the future? To be honest, I'm completely at a loss right now, with no direction at all."
Hearing Geto Suguru's words, Shoko immediately showed a shocked expression, almost dropping the cigarette from her mouth.
Because previously, in her opinion, Geto Suguru, a monster who could even switch to the world of free combat, would have no interest in Domains whatsoever.
Domain Expansion? That's not hand-to-hand combat at all!
However, with Geto Suguru bringing it up now, Shoko couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, beginning to ponder what it would look like if Geto Suguru were to awaken a Domain.
Night Parade of a Hundred Demons?
Although thinking in that direction, from a logical standpoint, it was undoubtedly correct, Shoko couldn't help but want to cross out that part of her fantasy. Her mind conjured an image of Geto Suguru leading a horde of muscular Cursed Spirits, punching and kicking enemies.
Shoko took a sharp intake of breath, then couldn't help but let out a soft laugh. Geto Suguru beside her tilted his head slightly, wondering why Shoko suddenly laughed.
Shoko, with a smile, turned to Geto Suguru. She quietly stood on her tiptoes and placed her hand on Geto Suguru's shoulder.
"Instead of a Domain, why don't you try developing Hollow Technique first? It's simpler, and relatively more suitable for you!" Shoko said with a smile.
If a Domain is the ultimate secret of Jujutsu, then Hollow Technique is the extreme of a single Cursed Technique, belonging to the category of the strongest skills.
Geto Suguru naturally understood Shoko's meaning and knew that if he seriously worked towards Hollow Technique, he should be able to master it in no time.
However, he had no interest in Hollow Technique. Compared to practicing that, he stated that he would rather tinker with his cloud of wandering triple section staff, which he bought for 1 billion...
