The hidden world will not interfere with the operation of the surface world. This is the important reason why the hidden world has never been exposed to ordinary people for so many years.
Even for Kaguya-sama, the young mistress of the Shinomiya family.
If she hadn't gotten the diary and obtained the cultivation method for Hamon from the mysterious person's diary.
And then met the Godly Mother of Shitamachi, a third-rate exorcist who usually made a living by deception and only showed a little of her real skills on rare occasions, she would not have been able to hear about the hidden world from her, or even from her own father.
In this one week, Shinomiya Kaguya's actions in Tokyo had indeed attracted the attention of the main family, and the information that the only and youngest daughter of the family was suspected of having obtained some kind of supernatural ability had also reached the ears of the aging head of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Gan'an, at the first opportunity.
As the one who had led the Shinomiya family to build today's foundation, Shinomiya Gan'an was naturally qualified to know some of the situation of the hidden world.
For this, he decisively ordered a complete blockade of this information, and this week, he had summoned this daughter of his whom he had not seen for a long time and had a long-overdue father-daughter conversation with her.
Shinomiya Kaguya could not speak of the diary, but relying on the power of Hamon and the Yin-Yang Eyes, she let Shinomiya Gan'an confirm that his daughter had already come into contact with that dangerous and alluring hidden world.
Afterward, Shinomiya Gan'an had also told her some of the things he knew with a complicated expression and had given her a condition she could not refuse—
She could not become the next head of the Shinomiya family on the surface, but all of the family's future business related to the hidden world and a part of the Shinomiya family's core defense forces would be handed over to her.
One could say that she would become the true head of the Shinomiya family on the hidden world's side, and if the supernatural ability she had mastered could be passed down, then the status of her lineage's descendants in the family could be above that of the main family in the surface world.
Of course, to obtain such a right, Kaguya-sama also had to prove her own value.
At the very least, the power that Hamon had shown so far was not enough.
As for how she should prove her value, Shinomiya Gan'an did not give a clear answer, only telling her to continue to wait peacefully. When the time was right, she would naturally know.
Although she was a little dissatisfied with her father acting like a riddler in front of her, Kaguya-sama was still stimulated by the promise he had given her.
Especially after returning from Kyoto, sensing that the surveillance and management around her had become much more relaxed, she knew that this was the most important step for her to completely change her future.
And so she spent more time practicing Hamon and learning exorcism methods from the Godly Mother of Shitamachi.
The only thing that made her regret was that that mouse named Jerry seemed to have a wealth-gathering attribute. In just one week, it had made the originally financially difficult Goko family much richer, making her original idea of using money to win over Goko Ruri not so easy to implement.
In fact, because Goko Ruri would from time to time share in the group the insights she had gained from Jerry on Hamon, her popularity and influence in the group seemed to have become much higher.
Fortunately, Jerry would probably be taken back by the mysterious person soon, and the economic situation of the Goko family would slowly return to stability after that.
At that time, she would still have many opportunities to win over Goko Ruri.
After all, in her eyes, these girls in the group who had diaries, besides being special people who had been chosen like her, were also her best partners, or rather, subordinates, for obtaining the power of the Shinomiya family in the future.
Therefore, after seeing the diary suddenly mention the Shibuya Incident and Sukuna today, Kaguya-sama had also stepped forward at the first opportunity to comfort Tsukimi Eiko, and at the same time, had summoned the Godly Mother of Shitamachi, who was living more and more comfortably in the Shinomiya residence, to ask her about the matter of Jujutsu Sorcerers and Sukuna.
"Sukuna... I think I've heard of him. He seems to have been a demon god from a long time ago. Why are you suddenly asking about this, Kaguya-sama…"
Seeing Kaguya-sama's unchanged expression, the Godly Mother of Shitamachi quickly added, "After all, it's something from a long time ago. I'm not too clear on the specific situation. Wait, let me go and ask my old friends at the shrine."
Faced with a great tycoon like Kaguya-sama, the Godly Mother of Shitamachi had no airs at all.
She knew that her strength was not good. The last time she had confidently guaranteed to Kaguya-sama, only to be made a fool of by that mouse, was already very embarrassing.
And after Kaguya-sama had had a showdown with her father from the main family, she dared not put on airs even more.
After all, the name of the Shinomiya family was too great. It was not impossible for that head of the Shinomiya family to invite some real masters over to teach her.
She now only planned to solidly brush up on her favorability with Kaguya-sama, teach her what she had mastered, and ensure that she could get enough retirement pay.
Thinking this, the Godly Mother of Shitamachi took out her phone and began to contact her old friends, asking them about the situation of Ryomen Sukuna.
Ryomen Sukuna's fame in the Jujutsu world was still very great. Even in the surface world, many fragmented rumors had been passed down.
After just two phone calls, the Godly Mother of Shitamachi had more or less figured out the situation of Ryomen Sukuna.
She swallowed and, using the method she was best at, began to tell the story of Ryomen Sukuna.
"He was probably the King of Curses who was active a thousand years ago."
"A top-tier demon god with four hands and two faces. Even in that golden age when spiritual power was most active, he was the most feared and terrifying existence of that era."
"It is said that in order to seal him back then, hundreds of Jujutsu Sorcerers gathered to fight him, but in the end, they still failed. The name Ryomen Sukuna was also given to him by the Jujutsu world after that battle."
Listening to the Godly Mother of Shitamachi seriously talk about the past of that Ryomen Sukuna, Kaguya-sama seemed to be able to feel a sense of pressure.
According to the Godly Mother's statement, even at her peak, in the Jujutsu Sorcerer world, she was probably only at the level of a second-grade sorcerer, and a first-grade sorcerer was a level she had to look up to and could never reach.
As for the special-grade sorcerers above that, the Godly Mother said that they were great figures she had never seen, and she had no idea what kind of powerful strength they possessed.
Hundreds, and at least second-grade and above, Jujutsu Sorcerers gathered together and still could not defeat the Ryomen Sukuna of that year. It could indeed be seen how powerful his strength was at his peak.
"So, that Ryomen Sukuna was still sealed in the end?" Kaguya-sama asked this question with some confusion.
The final villain of Jujutsu Kaisen mentioned in the diary should be this Sukuna. It seems that the Sukuna who was sealed back then, after experiencing a thousand years of sealing, still broke through the seal and returned to the present world?
To Kaguya-sama's inquiry, the Godly Mother's face suddenly became awkward.
"This, actually, the current Jujutsu world doesn't have many records of the events of Ryomen Sukuna back then. It is only known that Ryomen Sukuna did indeed die in the end, and his twenty fingers were all cut off and sealed as special-grade cursed objects to be used as tools to suppress curses and have been passed down to this day."
It seemed that there were indeed many secrets about the death of Ryomen Sukuna.
According to the mysterious person's statement, the Shibuya Incident half a year from now might be the reason for his revival.
Thinking of this, Kaguya-sama's heart couldn't help but tighten.
Although the hidden world would indeed not interfere with the operation of the surface world, that was the King of Curses from a thousand years ago. Would he act according to the current rules?
Even if he was defeated by the protagonist group in Jujutsu Kaisen in the end, how much of a price would have to be paid in the meantime?
For example, that "dismembered Honored One" mentioned by the mysterious person.
Thinking of this, Kaguya-sama asked her last question.
"Godly Mother, have you heard of a person in the Jujutsu world whose name or title is 'Honored One'?"
This question stumped the Godly Mother of Shitamachi again.
"I really haven't heard of this. Let me help you ask again."
Kaguya-sama nodded. If the Godly Mother's side couldn't find anything, then she would find a way to search through her father's side.
She briefly asked about the rumors and abilities of Ryomen Sukuna back then, and after hearing that the Godly Mother's explanation was becoming more and more strained, she let her leave first.
She wrote down Ryomen Sukuna's name in her diary, then continued to open her phone, entered the chat group interface, and prepared to post what she had just learned in the group.
However, the chat group now seemed to no longer be talking about the Shibuya Incident and Jujutsu Kaisen.
After all, today's diary from the mysterious person had only mentioned a few sentences about Jujutsu-related matters. In the back, there was still a lot of content about Shiina Mashiro and the supporting characters of another work.
Although it all seemed to be the affairs of ordinary people, since everyone didn't know much about the Jujutsu world, they could only discuss these things.
This topic was also first initiated by Kasumigaoka Utaha.
After comforting Tsukimi Eiko a few sentences in the group, and routinely cursing the mysterious person a few times, she then, as a party involved, began to talk about the matter of the Miyauchi siblings.
Kasumi Utako: "That Miyauchi Hikari and Shiina Mahiru probably don't have diaries. I've already confirmed this with Mashiro."
Kasumi Utako: "But I did feel when I first met the siblings that their temperaments were a little different from ordinary people. Now I see that they really are characters from another work."
UMR: "A rural slice-of-life yuri anime? Why is it another yuri... So what's the background of these two people? Can you two explain it to me?! @Kasumi Utako @Mashiro"
In this one week, Umaru's message asking about her own story had successfully been selected by the diary once, and then she had received Miyauchi Hikage's evaluation.
"In my past life, someone made a comparison chart of the death-courting level and suffering level of some 2D characters."
"Among them, there are those characters who haven't courted death much but have suffered great pain innocently, for example, Furude Rika, Amamiya Yuuko, and Angra Mainyu."
"Naturally, there are also those who have maxed out their death-courting level, but because they live in a yuri anime and have a good big brother who unconditionally cares for her and a group of girls who admire her, they have never suffered at all, for example, Doma Umaru."
To this, Doma Umaru, who had seen the diary that day, had deeply reflected on her past actions in the group, and then had only persisted for two days before breaking her promise again.
After all, her work had already landed smoothly. As long as her all-powerful onii-chan was around, she didn't have to worry about any changes in her life.
So now she had completely given up and was slacking off.
She was peacefully being a troll in the group, watching the drama and eating melon, and occasionally fanning the flames. She had completely solidified her persona of liking to court death and mess around.
One could say that she was currently the number one troublemaker in the group.
And after she asked this question, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly stood up to respond.
After all, Shiina Mashiro, without Miyauchi Hikage's instruction, would not waste time speaking in the chat group, so only she could stand up to explain.
She had naturally investigated the identities of the two Miyauchi siblings and had also privately gotten the data from Kaguya-sama. Now she was just saying it again in the group.
Classics Club: "Ah, so it's Asahigaoka. My family has also mentioned Asahigaoka these past few years, saying that they wanted to refer to Asahigaoka's model to promote our side. It's just that because they couldn't find a suitable entry point, they haven't started to implement it yet."
The fame of Asahigaoka was indeed not small. More than half of the girls in the group had said that they had heard of or seen news or videos related to Asahigaoka.
They all sighed with emotion that Miyauchi Hikage was the main contributor who had led the revitalization of Asahigaoka.
Judging from the videos he had filmed, one could indeed see that his "creativity" was indeed unusual—a normal person really couldn't think of so many absurd gags.
And from his low-key and anti-social personality in class, it did indeed correspond to the setting where he had not shown his face in that work.
UMR: "Speaking of which, the male characters in yuri anime seem to be quite amazing. Just like my brother, and this Miyauchi Hikage. So @Mashiro, do you like Miyauchi Hikari more now, or are you more dependent on Miyauchi Hikage?"
Mashiro naturally still did not make any reply.
Kasumigaoka Utaha also sent a rolling-eyes emoji in the group. "I know you like to fan the flames, but that's enough. That mysterious person guy didn't have any good intentions when he wrote this kind of thing in the diary."
"Mashiro came back to Japan just to peacefully draw manga. She's friends with both of the Miyauchi siblings. With her personality, she probably doesn't even know what 'like' is."
"But I will also help keep an eye on them at school. If that Miyauchi Hikage really makes any moves, I definitely won't let Mashiro be taken advantage of by him."
And just as Kasumigaoka Utaha was explaining this, another heavyweight player once again entered the stage.
Menma: "Speaking of which, the person who saved me back then seems to have been that boy from the Miyauchi family in Asahigaoka."
