Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The Banquet of The Big Three Families

The Curse User incident was just a minor interlude. Although Sawasaka Jiro and Obami Granny were supposed to reappear in the Shibuya Incident with quite a lot of screen time, Gojo Ze wasn't afraid that the deaths of those two would affect the timeline.

Just two small pieces of trash.

The only thing to note is that Obami Granny used her Seance Technique to summon Toji's body; that was a major event.

"That guy, Fushiguro Toji..." Gojo Ze had a bit of a headache. Personally, he felt quite sorry for the guy, but unfortunately, Satoru Gojo was fated to face a trial by his hand.

Of course, if it took Toji's intervention for Satoru to grasp the Reverse Cursed Technique, then that was a different story. Then it wouldn't be a trial, but a stroke of luck. Gojo Ze pondered and decided he could consider sparing Toji's life, just giving him a beating instead.

Back at the Gojo Family home, Ze and Satoru were informed that they would be attending a banquet organized by The Big Three Families in three days.

"Can we not go?" Satoru was clearly uninterested in such things.

The elders of the Gojo Family immediately became restless. What did a banquet of The Big Three Families signify? It was a unique opportunity for the Gojo Family to show off their six eyes twins in front of the Zenin and Kamo families!

"The stars of this banquet are the two of you," the Great Elder pleaded. "If you're absent, the Zenin and Kamo families will think we're arrogant!"

Ze retorted, "Arrogant? Isn't the Gojo Family always like that?" Satoru nodded in agreement beside him.

The Great Elder was instantly choked up. In the Jujutsu World, the arrogance of The Big Three Families was legendary. However, to the surprise of the elders, the twins were quite "approachable" in their own blunt way. Seeing that everyone valued this banquet so much, Ze relented.

"Are there any interesting activities at this banquet?"

The Great Elder quickly introduced: "Yes! The juniors will interact—meaning martial arts sparring."

"Tch~" Ze and Satoru both rolled their eyes. They were expected to play house with little kids?

The Great Elder continued: "There will also be an auction. The grand finale is a Special Grade Cursed Tool!"

Ze's ears perked up. "A Special Grade Cursed Tool? What's it called?"

"Playful Cloud (Yūun)!"

Oh ho! That three-section staff! Gojo Ze became interested. "Sounds good, let's go check it out then!"

Three days later, Ze looked at the stretched black sedan. For the first time, he realized the sheer wealth of the Gojo Family. Startled awake from my deathbed, it turns out I'm the tycoon myself?

Ze and Satoru climbed into the luxurious interior. Ze took a cold drink from the fridge. "Ah! This life of luxury, I love it!"

Satoru was speechless. "Drinking cold drinks in the middle of winter?"

"The hot blood of youth is surging within me!"

Soon, they reached a five-star hotel in Ginza. Two rows of maids bowed in unison. The Great Elder explained that the hotel was a property of the families, closed to "wild monkeys" (non-sorcerers) for the day.

When Ze and Satoru arrived at the top-floor venue, the room fell silent. Every sorcerer—from the Okkotsu relatives to the Ieiri family—cast scrutinizing glances. The six eyes twins were an unprecedented miracle.

"Young Master Ze and Young Master Satoru are truly the center of attention!" the Great Elder chuckled.

Ze responded with a fake smile, "I feel more like monkeys being watched in a zoo!"

Just then, the crowd parted for two imposing figures: Zen'in Naobito and Kamo Takanobu. Both were smiling, but their auras were chilling. They were consumed by jealousy over the Gojo Family's luck, especially compared to the Zenin Family's "stain"—a child with Heavenly Restriction.

"These two must be the famous twins?" Naobito greeted them. "I am Zen'in Naobito. It's a pleasure to meet you both!"

Kamo Takanobu stepped forward. "I am Kamo Takanobu! Very pleased to meet you two little friends!"

While Satoru was still pondering his words, Gojo Ze already responded with a sharp smile:

"Then the two of you are happy far too early!"

Zen'in Naobito: "..."

Kamo Takanobu: "..."
