章 149: Eiji and Yuta are Relatives
At 3:30 p.m.
Eiji returned to school after dropping off Kosaki and Haru at home.
Before leaving, he told Nanako the truth.
In fact, he was prepared to be blamed for this incident. However, both girls were kidnapped because of their involvement with him.
Unexpectedly, Nanako not only didn't blame him, but also thanked him for his rescue efforts.
"The damage still hasn't been fixed."
Eiji looked at the courtyard, severely damaged due to Yuta and Suguru's fight yesterday.
"This is why Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer battles are forbidden. They're like humanoid nuclear bombs."
"But... Compared to the Sukuna VS Mahoraga fight that destroyed most of Shibuya, the damage here is nothing. Anyway, Yuta is still a novice in Jujutsu, while Suguru-san doesn't master Domain Expansion and most of his Cursed Spirits collection was used as distractions in Tokyo, Shinjuku, and Kyoto."
With a thoughtful gaze, Eiji walked towards the teaching building.
Through the Six Eyes observation, he detected Yuta's Cursed Energy and others, gathering in the classroom.
Arriving in front of the first-year classroom, he opened the door and entered.
"Eiji, you're back. Hey, listen, Yuta managed to defeat Geto Suguru."
With high enthusiasm, Panda placed his hand on Eiji's shoulder and recounted yesterday's experience.
"Salmon." Toge greeted in rice ball language.
"Stop it, Panda. It's just luck; there's still a lot I need to learn."
Scratching his head, Yuta felt embarrassed.
"Tsk, stop being humble; you're strong, just admit it."
"Eh, why is Maki-san mad..."
"If you're not strong after defeating Geto Suguru, then what am I? Weaker than an ant?"
"Ah, I didn't mean that, I just—"
"Don't take it seriously; I'm just kidding."
Seeing him panic, Maki felt amused.
"Oh, has your relationship progressed to the romantic stage?"
"Me and Yuta? Eiji, your jokes are terrible."
Maki crossed her legs and snorted.
"..."
If possible, Eiji also wanted to joke. Unfortunately, he couldn't because of his apathetic attitude.
"By the way, Gojo-sensei said you're overseas; did you bring us souvenirs?"
Panda changed the subject, diffusing their conflict.
"Of course."
Eiji nodded, then took out the souvenirs he bought earlier from the storage ring onto the table.
"Tuna Tuna?"
Seeing the contents, Toge tilted his head in confusion.
"Is this mochi?" Panda asked, sniffing the food's aroma.
"It doesn't look like mochi." Yuta said uncertainly.
"Storage Rings are very convenient. If only I could use one, I wouldn't need to carry Cursed Tools everywhere I go, which is very conspicuous."
Compared to the souvenirs, Maki was more interested in the Storage Ring in Eiji's hand.
Previously, she had tried to test if she could activate the Storage Ring mechanism. However, that didn't mean she didn't have any Cursed Energy at all; it's just that the amount was so small as to be negligible.
What disappointed her was that she couldn't control the Cursed Energy in her body.
It should be noted that the Cursed Tools used contain Cursed Energy from others, not her own.
"That's not mochi, although it looks similar on the outside, it's actually an Indian sweet called rasgulla."
"Rasgulla is a sweet Indian dessert made from balls of cottage cheese soaked in light sugar syrup. Rasgulla has a soft and chewy texture, with a light sweet taste. It's usually served as a dessert."
Eiji gave a brief introduction to the food he brought them.
"Sounds delicious, let's try it."
Panda was already impatient; he opened the package, took a rasgulla dipped in syrup, and threw it into his mouth.
"It's very sweet~"
Seeing his reaction, Toge, Maki, and Yuta also started tasting the rasgulla.
"Salmon roe!"
With sparkling eyes, Toge gave a thumbs up.
"Not bad, but I still prefer mochi." Commented Maki.
"It's delicious, thank you, Eiji-kun." Said Yuta.
"You're welcome."
Seeing them enjoy the food he brought, Eiji sat in his chair.
"Speaking of Hyakki Yakou, have you heard about your brother's great achievement?"
"Brother? Gojo-sensei?"
Upon hearing Panda's words, Eiji's eyebrows raised.
He was an only child and an orphan; his only relative was his cousin, Gojo Satoru.
"Did you forget about Todo? If he knew, he'd be sad~"
Not missing this opportunity, Maki teased.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Eiji answered emotionlessly, "I and Todo Aoi only met once. Our relationship can't even be considered friends."
"But he considers you his brother." Maki said with a sly smile.
"That's just his own unilateral statement." Eiji said lightly.
"From what I heard, during the Hyakki Yakou in Kyoto, Todo was said to have fought five Grade 1 Cursed Spirits and one Special Grade Cursed Spirit alone. What's more impressive, he actually fought Grade 1 Cursed Spirits without using Cursed Techniques. The only time Todo had to use his techniques was when fighting the Special Grade Cursed Spirit."
Hoping to see Eiji's surprised expression, Panda was disappointed to see no change in his face.
"Todo Aoi is strong, I admit that."
That was the highest praise from Eiji.
He could achieve the same, or even more than Todo. Without using the Limitless Technique, he could defeat Special Grade Cursed Spirits and rely solely on pure physical strength.
However, Eiji knew he could do that because of the Heavenly Restrictions that gave him physical enhancements.
Compared to himself relying on the built-in cheat for Lin Fan, Todo obtained his physical strength through hard work and diligent effort.
Eiji greatly admired strong people without cheats like Todo.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Maki suddenly screamed and stood up, startling everyone.
"What's wrong, Maki? You scared us."
Panda patted his chest as if he almost had a heart attack.
"Think about it carefully, Gojo-sensei said Yuta is a descendant of Sugawara Michizane, and they're both distant relatives. Eiji and Gojo-sensei are distant cousins, doesn't that mean Yuta and Eiji are relatives?"
Pointing to Eiji and Yuta, Maki explained her reasoning.
It took a few seconds for the others to digest the information.
"Ehhh..."
"Caviar!!!"
Panda and Toge exclaimed in shock.
Yuta was stunned, his view of Eiji changed.
Only Eiji remained calm. He already knew his kinship with Yuta thanks to Lin Fan's memories.
His ancestor, or more precisely, the ancestor of the Gojo Family, Sugawara Michizane, was one of the Three Great Vengeful Spirits of Japan, along with Emperor Sutoku and Taira no Masakado.
"Of the four Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers, three of them have family relations. This is absolutely insane." Maki felt it was too coincidental.
It's no wonder among the Three Great Families, the Gojo Family is considered the strongest
