Blue-violet electric light flashed, and the portal and Chen Tian completely disappeared. The lingering scent of ozone in the air was quickly blown away by the wind, leaving only the after-effect of the phrase "hug my girlfriend" drifting in the sunlight.

The ruins fell into silence.

Gojo Satoru's hand was still frozen in mid-air, pointing at the empty space before him.

He blinked, a look of confusion and… speechlessness passing over his face.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the few people nearby.

Itadori Yuji was still kneeling beside Fushiguro Megumi, his face streaked with snot and tears, clearly still processing the emotional roller coaster.

Nanami Kento adjusted his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light, his expression blank.

Higuruma Hiromi wore a troubled look, seemingly deep in thought.

Kurusu Hana gently touched Fushiguro Megumi's chest, confirming his heartbeat, seemingly unfazed by the recent conversation.

Gojo Satoru's gaze finally settled on Nanami Kento. His mouth twitched, and he pointed at the spot where Chen Tian had vanished, asking slowly and deliberately: "He… just said… going home… to hug his girlfriend?"

Nanami Kento nodded expressionlessly. "Yes."

"Aaaah—!!!" Gojo Satoru let out an exaggerated wail. He instantly pulled out a pristine white handkerchief from nowhere, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit down hard, letting out a muffled sob: "Goddammit~ Why! I don't even have a girlfriend~~"

Nanami Kento was utterly unmoved, seemingly well-accustomed to Gojo's fits of madness.

He pushed up his glasses, his voice steady and calm, immediately pulling the conversation back on track: "Gojo, regarding the Jujutsu Higher-Ups' judgment, I think you need to be informed."

"Hm?" Gojo Satoru's action of biting the handkerchief abruptly halted.

The previous neurotic, playful demeanor instantly vanished from his face.

He straightened his posture, that proud smile returning to his lips.

He lifted his chin and slightly turned his face toward Nanami Kento, his eyes full of disdain: "Ah, are those old orange peels causing trouble again?"

"It doesn't matter," Gojo Satoru's gaze returned to the unconscious Fushiguro Megumi on the ground. "First, we deal with Fushiguro's sister."

He strode toward Fushiguro Megumi. The sunlight fell on his tall, straight back, his tone calm, but his words sharp: "Then, we deal with them."

Zzzt! Blue-violet electric light exploded within the dimly lit apartment. Chen Tian's figure stepped out of the portal. Before he could fully steady himself, a soft body carrying the scent of violet crashed into his arms.

"Welcome back!"

Kitagawa Marin was completely draped over Chen Tian, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck.

Today, she was wearing a loose, comfortable T-shirt, and her hair tips were still damp from a recent shower. Chen Tian instinctively supported the curve of her legs, lifting her up entirely like a koala bear.

"Sorry, did you wait long?" Chen Tian rubbed his nose against the top of her head.

"Super—long!" Marin puffed out her cheeks, then suddenly buried her face in the crook of his neck, inhaling deeply. "You smell bad…"

She abruptly looked up, her eyes wide and round. "Did you solve everything?"

Chen Tian walked toward the sofa, carrying her: "Mhm, all solved."

"Hah~" Marin sat on Chen Tian's lap, waving her hands excitedly. "I knew it. My Ten-kun is the best."

Chen Tian looked at the lively Marin in his arms, the corner of his mouth curling up unconsciously. She was like an excited kitten, bouncing around on his lap, water droplets from her hair flicking onto his face.

After playing around, Marin suddenly quieted down, shrinking into his embrace. "Thank you, Boyfriend-kun." She buried her face in his chest, her voice muffled.

Chen Tian raised an eyebrow: "No problem."

He knew exactly what she was thanking him for. Originally, he had absolutely no intention of interfering with those trivial matters, but then he saw his little sun constantly worrying, her normally vibrant smile lacking its usual delightful intensity.

So, he changed his mind.

"I'm going to take a shower," Chen Tian ruffled her hair.

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Marin's eyes darted around, and she suddenly jumped off his lap.

She placed her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks: "Hurry up, hurry up! You stink!"

Chen Tian chuckled, and as he stood up, he placed a kiss on her smooth forehead. Marin immediately broke into her signature energetic smile, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

The moment the bathroom door closed, Marin darted into the bedroom like a cat stealing fish.

She pulled out the black bikini she had prepared long ago, her fingers trembling slightly as she tied the strings.

The mirror reflected her crimson cheeks.

Water rushed within the shower. Marin took a deep breath and gently pushed open the bathroom door.

In the rising steam, Chen Tian's muscular back was faintly visible. The moment she poked her head halfway in, she met Chen Tian's gaze as he turned around.

"Yaaah!" Marin yelped, and she was suddenly yanked entirely into the bathroom.

The door slammed shut, and the steaming heat instantly enveloped her.

Chen Tian's wet arms wrapped around her waist, water droplets running down her flushed skin.

"Wait, wait! I'm not ready yet Ah Idiot Ten-kun, not there!" Marin's protest was drowned out by the sound of the water.

(Three million words omitted here; VIP access available. No, on second thought, VIP access is also denied.)

Kyoto, deep within an old estate.

The red-eyed girl walked barefoot on the cold wooden floor, her long black hair tied back with a dark-red ribbon. She stared at the phone screen, which was slow to connect the call, her frown deepening.

"Ten-kun," her fingertip nervously tapped the table, "what are you doing?"

The vibration of the phone futilely echoed in the living room of the dimly lit apartment.

Buzz—Buzz—

The phone screen stubbornly stayed lit. The incoming call display, reading "The Young Lady," blinked repeatedly.

In the steamy bathroom, there was only the sound of rushing water, and some muffled, indistinct moans and whispers, obscured by the noise.

On the coffee table, the phone screen finally went dark.

[Unanswered].

The East Tokyo ruins trembled under the night sky.

Man's black hair whipped wildly, her eyes bloodshot: "You lied to me! Lord Sukuna is invincible!" Her fingers clawed, each swipe releasing black Cursed Energy blades that tore through the air, maniacally slashing at Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru's figure was like a phantom, easily shifting within the gaps of the dense slashes, the same flippant smile still on his lips: "Well, facts speak louder than words, Miss Man~ But didn't your 'beloved' kill you with his own hands? Why are you still haunting my student's sister?"

He deliberately drew out the word "beloved."

"Shut up!" Man's expression was twisted by rage and madness, her attacks growing even more savage. "My love for Lord Sukuna transcends life and death! How can an ant like you understand!"

She fiercely clapped her hands together. A long, black hairpin, thickly wrapped in Cursed aura, instantly materialized and shot toward Gojo Satoru's face with an ear-splitting shriek!

"Woah, dangerous, dangerous." Gojo Satoru exaggeratedly tilted his head. The hairpin scraped past his cheek, leaving a tiny, front-to-back hole in a half-standing pillar of reinforced concrete behind him. The entire pillar then boomed, snapping and crashing to the ground. Dust billowed.

Gojo Satoru's figure appeared atop another broken wall. He brushed off non-existent dust from his clothing, his tone suddenly turning cold: "I can't understand, and I don't want to understand. However—"

He raised his hand, pointing at the body Man occupied, the body of Fushiguro Tsumiki. His pale blue eyes locked onto the target, his voice adopting a tone of command, "Now, immediately, get out of someone else's sister's body!"

"Dream on!" Man shrieked, forming a hand seal. Black Cursed Marks instantly spread beneath her feet. Cold, viscous Cursed Energy bled into the air like ink. "Domain Expansion: Triple Affliction!"

A pitch-black sphere instantly condensed in the air next to Man.

Gojo Satoru scoffed, one hand in his pocket. He curled his ring finger and pinky on the other hand, held up his thumb and index finger, and curved his middle finger behind his index.

"My pleasure. Domain Expansion—"

"Unlimited Void!"

A pure, ultimate pale blue light instantly devoured the overwhelming darkness.

Man's body froze in place, her eyes staring blankly forward.

The information overload of Unlimited Void frantically washed through her mind. Every second felt like a thousand years of junk data being crammed in.

She couldn't move an inch, and even her Cursed Energy was solidified.

Gojo Satoru stood with his hands crossed, casually walking up to her. He ignored her stiff body and called over Man's shoulder: "Hey, Nobara, she's yours!"

Man's fragmented senses registered the danger, but she couldn't even turn her eyes.

"I've been waiting!" A clear shout exploded! Kugisaki Nobara's figure had appeared behind Man at some point. She tightly gripped her hammer and a cold, gleaming long nail, her eyes fierce as if ready to tear apart her prey.

"Give Fushiguro's sister—" Nobara roared, twisting her body and pouring all her Cursed Energy into her arms, "—back!!!"

The hammer head smashed down hard on the tail of the long nail with a whoosh!

The nail pierced through Man's body, skewering Tsumiki's left shoulder!

Nobara's Cursed Energy, like countless thorny vines, frantically drilled through the wound into the depth of the soul where Man was intertwined with this body!

"Ugh ah—!!!" Man's soul let out a silent, agonizing shriek!

The body of Tsumiki she occupied violently trembled. A large mouthful of thick black blood uncontrollably erupted from her mouth! The black blood hissed upon hitting the ground, corroding the concrete.

The soul link was shaken and torn by Nobara's strike!

The moment Man's soul trembled violently and her control plummeted!

Gojo Satoru's right hand, which had been in his pocket, shot out. A previously condensed black lightning crackled around it, emitting a deadly hum! He pulled his right fist back!

Bang—!!!

The ultimately compressed Black Flash punch, carrying enormous force, directly slammed into the abdomen that Man occupied!

A muffled, heart-stopping, penetrating sound!

The body Man occupied folded backward into a terrifying arc, like a rag doll. A distorted, struggling black mass of flesh was violently ejected from Tsumiki's mouth by the force of the punch.

"N-O—!!!" A sharp, piercing shriek emitted from the writhing black mass! It twisted frantically, lunging toward Tsumiki's body, which had collapsed softly to the ground.

"Where do you think you're going?" Gojo Satoru's voice was teasing. His large hand scooped in front, grabbing the wildly squirming black flesh! "I won't let you succeed again."

The grasped mass of flesh emitted a non-human shriek, its surface rapidly swelling and contracting, trying to break free.

Gojo Satoru's eyes flashed sharply. The muscles on the arm grasping the mass tensed. His other fist was already wrapped in black lightning, emitting an ear-splitting buzz!

He pulled his arm back. The extremely compressed power made the air around his fist blur and twist!

BANG—!!!

The second Black Flash struck the mass of flesh squarely!

Pure, ultimate power pierced through! The mass trembled and convulsed violently, like a fish hit by a high-voltage current! Its surface instantly covered in spiderweb-like black cracks!

"Ugh ah ah ah—!!!" A desperate, ultimate scream erupted from within, filled with endless resentment and spite!

The next second, the piercing shriek abruptly cut off.

The twisted black mass of flesh, like burnt paper ashes, suddenly disintegrated under the erosion of Gojo Satoru's Cursed Energy!

It broke down into countless tiny particles of black dust, which were then completely torn apart and purified, vanishing without a trace into the night wind.

Only the heavy breathing of Kugisaki Nobara and the sound of fabric rubbing as she carefully supported Tsumiki's collapsing body remained.

"Phew…" Nobara wiped her sweat. She looked at Tsumiki, who was pale but breathing steadily, and grinned. "We did it!"

Gojo Satoru shook the hand that had squeezed the mass of flesh, as if flicking off some dust. The flippant smile returned to his lips: "Let's go. Take her to Shoko!"
