Toji Fushiguro had a bad feeling about this commission from the start.
If it was just Koshiu asking him to take on a big job, Toji Fushiguro wouldn't have thought there was a problem.
After all, his reputation as a Curse User killer was well-established, and with Gojo Satoru of the Gojo Family protecting the target, ordinary Curse Users would definitely not succeed.
However, Medea's appearance made it clear to Toji Fushiguro that "this commission is problematic."
Even Toji Fushiguro, who usually disliked thinking, would sense that something was wrong.
Later, Toji Fushiguro casually asked Koshiu about Medea's identity once.
After hearing Toji Fushiguro's description, Koshiu found it increasingly strange and finally showed Toji Fushiguro a fate poster.
Toji Fushiguro, whose brain had been idle for a long time, finally remembered why this woman looked familiar.
After all, Eichi had never hidden his and the other Heroic Spirits' identities from Toji Fushiguro. Not recognizing her at first was simply because Toji Fushiguro usually didn't pay attention to anyone.
After all, Toji Fushiguro was someone who often forgot even his most beloved child.
After remembering Medea's identity, Toji Fushiguro had called Eichi.
However, Eichi was trapped in a barrier at the time and had no signal.
Unable to contact Eichi, Toji Fushiguro decided to deal with the Six Eyes brat first before thinking about anything else.
Now, having defeated Gojo Satoru and slapped the Jujutsu World in the face, Toji Fushiguro finally felt relieved and remembered the matter with Medea.
"Given that brat's personality, he definitely wouldn't stand by and do nothing, so I just casually called out to see, and you jumped out yourself."
With that, Toji Fushiguro threw the unconscious Amanai Riko towards Medea.
"You're surprisingly clever."
Medea reached out, and Amanai Riko stopped in front of Medea.
"Medea, what's going on?"
Suguru Geto finally couldn't hold back.
From the moment Toji Fushiguro appeared at Hoshiumi Palace—no, from the moment Gojo Satoru was stabbed by Toji Fushiguro—Suguru Geto's heart had been repeatedly shocked.
Now, seeing his companion Medea standing with Toji Fushiguro, who was an enemy, Suguru Geto's mental state almost collapsed.
"Don't worry, Amanai Riko will be fine. Everything is within Eichi's plan."
Medea naturally knew what Suguru Geto was thinking when she saw his expression.
For this, Medea brought up Eichi.
As expected, Suguru Geto's expression relaxed considerably after hearing Eichi's name.
"Are all these Eichi's arrangements?"
Ultimately, Suguru Geto chose to trust his best friend.
"Yes, compared to here, you should pay more attention to the situation outside. The real enemy is still out there."
Indeed, upon hearing about the real enemy, Suguru Geto no longer dwelled on the current situation.
He was worried about Gojo Satoru, whose whereabouts were unknown.
"After everything is over, if you can't give a reasonable explanation, Satoru and I won't let you off."
With that, Suguru Geto ran outside.
Not long ago, a large amount of terrifying Cursed Energy continuously appeared and disappeared in that direction.
"What do you plan to do with that star plasma vessel?"
Toji Fushiguro looked at Amanai Riko floating in the air.
"Let's go to the Star Religion together. Remember to clean up the 'trash' once the commission fee is paid."
Saying that, Medea temporarily handed Amanai Riko to Toji Fushiguro, then spiritualized and followed Toji Fushiguro to the Star Religion headquarters... Not long ago.
Eichi, riding on Yuto, rushed back towards the High School at the fastest possible speed.
To save time, Eichi didn't even have Yuto use the entrance/exit gate within the High School barrier.
Instead, he directly had Yuto activate the Piercing Ox Technique, crashing a hole through the barrier and rushing into the High School.
This was only the outermost area of the High School; the barrier's range was vast, its performance primarily focused on vigilance and concealment, not high defense.
Such a blatant action naturally attracted Kenjaku's attention.
"Tsk, how inconvenient."
Just moments ago, Kenjaku had personally witnessed Toji Fushiguro inflict a fatal wound on Gojo Satoru with the Inverted Spear of Heaven.
At that instant, Kenjaku's heart was filled with excitement.
The obstacle of the Six Eyes had been cleared, and the star plasma vessel would naturally be no problem.
"I just need to buy a little time."
Toji Fushiguro was already heading towards Hoshiumi Palace; he only needed to buy a little time, and Toji Fushiguro would complete his mission.
Eichi had contacted Heroic Spirit Emiya and Medea through their contract as soon as he entered the High School barrier.
Upon learning that Medea was still hidden in the shadows, ensuring the worst wouldn't happen, Eichi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Whoosh.
"Watch out!"
Just as Eichi's hanging heart had settled, several powerful attacks suddenly emerged from the ground.
Artoria swung her Holy Sword, blocking the attacks aimed at the two of them.
Yuto was not so lucky.
Flying at full speed, Yuto failed to dodge in time and was instantly struck down.
The two people and one beast fell from the sky.
Artoria pointed her Holy Sword at the ground, releasing Wind Barrier.
The strong airflow slowed their descent.
Another few Cursed Energy cannonballs shot towards the two.
At the same time, waves of Cursed Energy fluctuations began to appear ahead.
Eichi waved his hands.
The Max Elephant Technique was activated by Eichi.
Water Wall.
The Cursed Energy cannonballs were deflected by the violent water currents and fell into the distance.
After landing, Eichi looked solemnly into the distance.
There, a person in a black robe, barely discernible as female, stood amidst dozens of Cursed Spirits.
Eichi's gaze quickly swept over the Cursed Spirits opposite.
'Most of them are Semi-Grade 1 and Grade 1 Cursed Spirits, with 4 Special Grade ones. Including the woman shrouded in black robes, that's five Special Grade level enemies in total.'
Eichi quickly locked onto the targets requiring vigilance among the dozens of enemies.
The four Special Grade Cursed Spirits were: one floating in the air like a large mouth; a dog-shaped Special Grade Cursed Spirit much uglier than Jade Hounds; a slender, skeletal female Special Grade Cursed Spirit; and a Special Grade Cursed Spirit with a spider's body and a woman's upper half.
Finally, there was the mysterious woman surrounded by the Cursed Spirits.
'Who could it be? To be able to control so many Cursed Spirits, besides Suguru Geto, it could only be Kenjaku, who has been hidden for a thousand years.'
'Speaking of which, Megumi Fushiguro is about 4 years old now, which means this woman is Kenjaku, who occupied Itadori Kaori's body.'
Eichi could understand cross-dressing, although he had only worn his mother's wig, clothes, and high heels when he was little.
But Eichi found it a bit incomprehensible to not only cross-dress but also directly become a woman to have children.
Perhaps for Kenjaku, who had lived for a thousand years, these things no longer mattered.
Thinking this, longevity really does have a significant impact on people.
After confirming the enemy's identity, Eichi became fully alert and began calling for backup in his mind.
