章節 6: Chapter 2: Part 2
- Silas -
At this time, the door to the Restaurant was opened and in came a face I hadn't seen in a long time.
It was the cocky white haired guy. This time he had even come with friends.
There was a young girl, a bit younger than my own age and another guy who looked like a salaryman. There was also a guy who looked like a suspicious government agent with them.
"A Restaurant? Why did you bring us to a Restaurant?" The salaryman asked.
"Because this is the best Restaurant there is in the world and probably many other worlds. You should try the sweets here. They are to die for."
The white haired guy praised my food and I would say that I was flattered a bit.
He came up to me directly. "Owner-san, long time no see. How have you been?"
"Welcome to the Crossroads Restaurant. Yes, almost three weeks. Were you out of the city?"
"A bit, yes. By the way, I realise I haven't introduced myself. My name is Satoru Gojo. These are my friends and she is my student."
"Hello everyone, my name is Silas Evans." I looked at them before looking at the newly introduced Gojo-san, "Are they also?"
"Oh, yes. They are also sorcerers like me. In fact, this is the former Principal of my school."
This attracted my attention and I couldn't help but ask. "Is there a school where magic is taught?"
"Jujutsu. Who is this pretty boy, Sensei?" The girl asked as I handed them the menu.
"Silas-kun is the owner of this amazing Restaurant. Now go on and choose what you want to eat. Don't hold back. I will be paying for this." he waved her off before looking at me. "Jujutsu is different from normal magic so I don't know if you will like it."
"What other kind of magic is there?" The Salaryman asked. "I am Nanami Kento and I am just his acquaintance."
"Ah you wound my heart, Nanami-kun." Gojo joked.
"Hello." I looked at Gojo-san. "You haven't told them about it yet?"
"Nah, I wanted to surprise them."
"What are you talking about Satoru? Is this another one of your pranks?"
"Nope. You can ask Silas-kun about it."
They looked to me for an explanation and I explained the basics of my Restaurant to them.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Bullshit."
"You could always see for yourself." I shrugged.
It took me two minutes to show them a scene from Suzuki's world and then back to their own and then I left the stunned group aside to bring their orders.
When I served them, Gojo-san questioned me again. "On a side note, is Touma-kun visiting? I have a new job for him. The same kind as last time."
"Touma-kun has gone for his daily training. You will probably find him back in a few hours."
"It's fine. We have free time today." He said.
"If you don't mind me asking, what other kind of magic have you seen?" The principal asked me.
"Other kinds of magic? Well, I haven't exactly seen any in use but there are Espers in Touma-kun's and Saitama's world. Recently we had a Ninja come from a mediaeval world's Ninja village. The kid was adopted by one of the patrons and from what we found out, they use Ninjutsu to do different kinds of things. Apparently, his village was saved from the attack of a giant Nine Tailed Fox by the previous leader of their village. There were also some kind of supernatural powers called Nen in Issac-san's world too." I answered as I recalled the things I had seen in the past few days. "Oh and we saw a dragon yesterday."
"A Dragon?" The girl asked.
"Yup. A real Dragon."
"Seriously. A lot of things happened while I was away. A Dragon of all things. By the way, you wanted to know about Jujutsu so let me explain about it in brief."
They gave me a brief summary of the thing and seriously, their world was fucking dangerous.
But damn if I wasn't interested.
I mean it was Magic.
Which kid hasn't imagined making fireballs or water blades when they were kids?
Now that there was a chance for me to see and maybe even learn it for myself, why wouldn't I?
"So, anyone can learn this kind of magic?" I asked.
"Hmm, not anyone per say. They need to have some talent for it. They will need to have a certain amount of Cursed Energy to see spirits and if possible some kind of innate tenchiques in them."
"I see."
"If you are interested then I can test and see if you have the talent for it."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Then I would like to see too. We can check it when your work with Touma is completed."
"Sure. Why not? It's always nice to see new Jujutsu Sorcerers." The principal guy said.
I served them their order and went around to take orders from the rest.
An hour or so later, the door of the Restaurant opened again and the Ryozanpaku group arrived. Miu and Naruto were missing as they went to school.
"Welcome. Touma-kun, there are people waiting for you." I pointed towards Gojo-san who was already waving at him and his group.
The guy went to the group of Magicians or rather Sorcerers.
I gave them a private space in one of the rooms of the Restaurant to discuss and went to serve the other guests.
- Satoru Gojo -
"Is he the one, Gojo?" The Principal, Yaga asked him.
"Hmm. Hello, Touma-kun. It's been a long time. How have you been? Did you get your payment for the last job?"
"Eh yes! It was too much. I didn't do anything." Touma tried explaining but he just waved it off.
"Trust me when I say that you did more than I could ever hope for. If anything, the payment I gave was far less than what you deserved." He truly did. Considering the fact that Nanami and Kugisaki as well as Yaga might have just died along with several others, a few millions were comparatively nothing.
Still, Touma was quite a good kid. He reminded him of Yuji in a way, always ready to help others.
"No no. It was already too much. I don't want more."
"Gojo is right. You have done us a great favour. Don't deny it." Yaga-san said, making Touma quiet.
"I have another favour to ask of you Touma-kun." He asked, bringing out a box with several talismans covering it and then went on to explain about several things.
Cursed Objects and Cursed Tools.
Cursed Spirits.
Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Cursed Humans.
"What we want to do is see if you can exorcise any cursed objects and cursed tools with your power. We will try with the low powered tools and go higher." Principal Yaga explained.
"I can try."
"In that case, let's start with this one."
They started with Grade 3 Cursed Objects and under the awed gazes of everyone, the object simply crumbled with a single touch from Touma.
"Amazing!" Nanami whispered.
"Right right! I told you it was amazing." He poked, causing the man to ignore him completely.
Next up came a Grade 2 Cursed Object and then a Grade One and every one of them met the same end.
"Do you need any rest, Touma-kun? We are going to start with the important ones now."
"Ah, I don't feel anything wrong. We can start anytime you want."
Seriously, Touma's power was insane.
And this was coming from someone like him.
Next up, Yaga-sensei unsealed a Special Grade Cursed object for the test.
"Be careful when…" Before Nanami could finish it, Touma had already touched the object and it crumbled into a pile of dust, making the man shut his mouth.
Satoru just gave the man his best smile.
"Screw this. We have to work so hard to exorcise even one of these curses and this guy just erases them with a touch. That's cheating sensei. Totally cheating." Kugisaki complained.
"Now now, don't be jealous. Everyone has their own specialities. Touma-kun's gift is made specifically for these cases."
"This changes a lot of things, Gojo. With this we can erase Sukuna's fingers, maybe even the curse from someone's body. We need to bring Yuji here to test it out."
"Hmm. Tomorrow, I will bring him here. You two should get the other Special Grade Cursed Objects for exorcism. Keeping them sealed is just ignoring the problem." He said and turned towards Touma. "You know what Touma-kun, if you ever want to become a full time exorcist, do tell me. We would love to have you among us."
The guy denied it but he didn't mind. Kamijou Touma was a living treasure by himself.
"Will you be free tomorrow for the same job? Today, we just bought some basic ones with us for testing. Safe to say, your power is far greater than what any of us could have imagined. We can begin our work in earnest tomorrow."
"Ah, sure. You can find me here at the same time. I go to the Ryozanpaku Dojo for training. You can ask Silas-san for me." He replied.
"Then I thank you in advance. You will receive your payment like the last time… and don't deny it. This is the least we can do for your help."
With everything done, Touma-kun left the room and he was left with the other three.
"Seriously, what kind of place is this? Other worlds? At first I thought that the owner was crazy… or using some kind of Illusion based Curse technique on us but this… just what kind of place did you wander into this time, Satoru?"
"This could be an even greater danger than anything we have in our world."
"Or it could be a solution, if we don't even explore our options, how would we ever know?"
"You are taking a very big risk, Satoru." Yaga-sensei said before sighing. "But right now, we don't have many options. What happens tomorrow, happens tomorrow. First we need to save today… and this, despite all the risks involved, is a great opportunity."
"If those higher ups ever found out about this place, they would stop at nothing to try and take control of this Restaurant." Nanami said.
"If that happens, then I won't stop to give them a warning. I am a wanted criminal either way. I might as well earn it this time." He warned.
Those bastards had done exactly as he had expected.
The only reason he was not making any moves was because Yuta, Megumi and Yuji were growing at a great pace due to the pressure on them. He didn't want to interrupt their growth for now. Thus those old coots were living on borrowed time.
- Silas -
I served everyone from Ryozanpaku and at the same time Mikami and his group finished.
Mikami and Shizuka-san left one after another. They had a good chemistry going on.
If things went on well, then maybe… I smiled at the thought.
His junior on the other hand, was barely holding back tears at the sight of his wallet but his girlfriend had a huge smile on her face.
Well, not everything was bad for the poor junior.
The guys from Ryozanpaku left next.
Suzuki was going to spend the rest of his day playing his favourite VRMMORPG since it was shutting down today and Saitama was taking a rest.
And just like that, the Restaurant was almost empty again.
Half an hour later, Touma came out of the room and a few minutes later, the rest of the group came out.
This time, it was Yaga-san who transferred the money and I was a bit taken aback once more at the amount.
Thirty Million yen.
And I get twenty percent of that.
It's a good day.
With this, I can purchase the house beside mine and expand my Restaurant a bit.
Things were getting congested with the arrival of the new groups.
But for now, I had something else I was excited about.
Magic.
"Ready for the test, Silas?"
"Hmm."
"Then let's try this. I cannot see any Cursed Energy within you." My heart sank at his first few words. I was so close to learning magic and now I find that I didn't even have the energy for it. Gojo however continued. "But then again, I can't see the Cursed Energy inside anything in this Restaurant. We would need to test it out some other way."
"Alright. Gimme a minute, I will close the Restaurant for the day."
I did just that and followed them outside.
I looked around the area and it seemed quite similar.
"Is this Tokyo?" I asked.
"Shinjuku, yes."
"No wonder it felt familiar."
"Is there a Tokyo in your world?"
"Yes. I used to live there when my parents were alive. I moved to a town near Kyoto… due to some reasons and opened a Restaurant there."
"How old are you by the way?" Nanami asked.
"I am eighteen years old. I just got out of High School."
"That's quite young."
I shrugged. "I had to support myself. I might try to complete college later if I get some time. For now, I have my hands more than full with my Restaurant."
"Let's see. Since you are not from our world, I don't know how Cursed Energy would work for you but we can check using a Cursed Tool." He brought out a sword and handed it to me. "Try to concentrate on the blade and feel anything inside."
I took a hold of the sword and closed my eyes.
"Take deep breaths." Yaga instructed.
I did and… the blade somehow felt different, as if there was something inside it. A stream of something. It connected to my body and I could feel the entire blade, even with both my eyes closed.
"Good. What do you feel?"
"There is something, I don't know how to describe it, inside the sword. It is flowing into my body and I can feel the whole sword now."
"Good. The flowing thing is Cursed Energy. Try to feel the energy inside you and push it into the sword."
I took a deep breath and willed the now identified Cursed Energy into the blade.
