The Yoshino household.
This was a cozy detached house.
The living room was bathed in warm yellow light, and a comedy variety show was playing on the TV.
The dining table was laden with a feast of dishes.
"Oh, Junpei, honestly! You should have told me in advance if you were bringing friends over."
Junpei's mother, Yoshino Nagi, walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of stewed meat.
She was a cheerful, somewhat easygoing beauty with a cigarette in her mouth and a bright smile on her face.
"Sorry for the intrusion!"
Itadori bowed very politely.
"I'm Yuji Itadori! Junpei's friend!"
"I'm Lynn," Lynn nodded with a smile. "I'm Junpei's... well, boss."
"Boss?" Yoshino Nagi looked at Lynn with some surprise. "So young?"
"Just a small business. Nice to meet you. Big sister, you don't look like someone who's had a child at all; standing with Junpei, you look more like siblings."
Lynn gave a proper smile,To be honest, he wanted to get rid of the finger quickly, so he continued smiling.
Junpei's mouth twitched, and his gaze toward Lynn was full of wariness.
"Come, come, everyone, sit down and eat."
Yoshino Nagi warmly invited everyone to take their seats.
The atmosphere at the dining table was very harmonious.
Itadori was naturally sociable, telling jokes while eating meat in large gulps, making Yoshino Nagi laugh out loud. Junpei sat to the side, and although he didn't say much, a long-lost relaxed smile appeared on his face.
Lynn chatted and laughed, his humorous and witty conversation making the atmosphere very lively, but his attention was always wandering to the corner of the room.
According to the original story, Mahito had hidden ryomen sukunas finger here.
It was a time bomb.
It had to be recovered as soon as possible.
"Um, Ms. Nagi."
Halfway through the meal, Lynn put down his chopsticks and elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"May I use the restroom?"
"Ah, of course." Yoshino Nagi pointed down the hallway. "Just turn left over there."
"Thank you."
Lynn stood up and left the table.
He walked into the hallway, and after confirming no one was around, his gaze instantly became sharp.
Lynn didn't go to the restroom; instead, he quietly went up to the second floor.
He pushed open the bedroom door.
A cold, evil aura rushed toward him.
Outside the window, a few low-level Fly Head Cursed Spirits could be seen vaguely hovering; they were attracted by this aura but didn't dare to approach.
Lynn walked to the bedside and crouched down.
In an unremarkable cardboard box, he found the item.
A withered, purplish-red finger.
ryomen sukunas finger.
[High-value recovery item found: ryomen sukunas finger (2/20).]
[System valuation: 50,000 points.]
[Whether to recover?]
Lynn looked at the finger, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
This was the key to changing fate.
Without him, tonight, these attracted Cursed Spirits would have stormed into the house and killed Yoshino Nagi. And Junpei would have completely blackened because of it, heading toward destruction.
But now.
"Recover."
Lynn didn't hesitate.
[Recovery successful. Points have been credited.]
As the finger disappeared, the cold aura in the room instantly dissipated.
The Fly Heads outside lost their target and flew away aimlessly.
The crisis was averted.
Lynn stood up and clapped his hands.
"Now, both Junpei and this mother are safe."
He tidied his clothes and walked downstairs as if nothing had happened.
When he returned to the dining room, Itadori was vividly telling the story of how he almost got eaten by a bear in Sendai.
"You're back?" Yoshino Nagi asked with a smile. "Sit down, there's still soup."
"Thank you."
Lynn sat back in his seat, watching this warm scene before him.
Junpei was laughing.
His mother was serving him food.
Itadori was fighting for the last piece of meat.
No one knew that just now, a disaster capable of destroying this family had been quietly resolved.
Lynn picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.
"This wine..."
"Tastes good."
...A few days later.
Tokyo Jujutsu High, back mountain.
The once abandoned old school building was now completely renovated.
A brand new plaque was hung at the entrance—[Jujutsu High Logistics Service Department (Exchange No. 8 Branch)].
The interior still had that retro pharmacy style, but the items on the shelves had increased.
Besides various strange potions, there were Cursed Tools and talismans Lynn had stocked from the system mall, and even the latest game consoles and limited-edition snacks.
Since purchasing the Infinite Kunai Pouch and the malice reflection mirror last time, and gaining fifty thousand points from Sukuna's Finger.
After a few more days of stocking, consuming, and trading.
Lynn now had 10,240 points in hand.
It was particularly worth emphasizing that at this moment, Lynn already had the strength of a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer.
[Product Name: Jujutsu Sorcerer Basic Physical Reinforcement (Grade 1 Level)]
[Type: Body Modification]
[Description: Through a surge of Cursed Energy, the physical strength is raised to the standard of a 'Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer.']
[Price: 30,000 points.]
[Note: There's a reason it's expensive.]
Now, under the reinforcement of Cursed Energy, Lynn could punch through a concrete wall with his bare hands.
His speed and athletic ability had reached incredible levels, like a human bullet train.
Most importantly, he now had more precise control over his Cursed Energy.
The loss of outputted Cursed Energy was very low, and his understanding of Cursed Techniques had advanced further.
However, the corresponding points spent were also many; the original points now only had a little over ten thousand left.
In this world, he finally had the ability to protect himself.
"Welcome."
Lynn sat behind the counter, flipping through a ledger.
"Boss!"
A voice full of vitality came through.
Yoshino Junpei ran in wearing the Jujutsu High uniform (though he hadn't officially enrolled yet, he was allowed to audit classes), carrying a large bag.
"Today's stock is all organized!"
Now, Junpei's eyes were bright, and the previous gloom was gone.
After that night's battle, and with his mother being safe, he had completely stepped out of the shadows.
Moreover, with Lynn's guidance and the help of system items, he could now proficiently use his Cursed Technique 'Yotsuki'.
"Good work."
Lynn handed him a bottle of soda.
"By the way, there might be 'big customers' coming today."
"Big customers?" Junpei was taken aback.
"Yeah."
Lynn looked out the window.
There, several buses with Kyoto license plates were slowly driving into Jujutsu High.
"The Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event is about to begin."
Lynn pushed up his glasses, a sharp light flashing across the lenses.
"That's a group of very wealthy... high-potential customers."
Especially that muscle-bound gorilla whose head is only filled with Takada-chan—Aoi Todo.
Plus the events that would happen during this exchange meeting.
I wonder how much I'll make... In his drawer, there was a forged item lying quietly, so perfect even the person themselves couldn't tell—
[Takada-chan Super Limited Edition Hand-Signed Handshake Voucher].
