After inviting Takano Kamino into the car, Eiji and his three companions entered the office building.
The Jujutsu Sorcerers from the Gojo Family only followed in symbolically, then waited on the first floor.
As the group ventured deeper, a Cursed Spirit resembling rotten meat appeared before the four of them.
"Work, work, work."
Even before approaching the Cursed Spirit, they could feel its overwhelming resentment.
This Cursed Spirit is quite strong for a Grade 1.
Eiji and Suguru Geto watched the Cursed Spirit before them with interest.
"Eiji, you stay back."
Altoria strode forward.
Her blue and white armor instantly clad her entire body.
"Hmph, why only Eiji? I want to be protected too, mmmph..."
Before Satoru Gojo could finish speaking, Eiji pinched his face.
Altoria ignored the commotion behind her and walked before the Cursed Spirit, Sacred Sword in hand.
"Work, work, work."
The Cursed Spirit raised its decaying body, its soulless eyes like stones looking at Altoria.
Sensing an intruder in its territory, the Cursed Spirit attacked Altoria.
At the same time, Altoria charged towards the Cursed Spirit.
The two figures crossed paths. Altoria's probing attack left a massive wound on the Cursed Spirit.
The sword got heavier.
Just as the Sacred Sword struck the Cursed Spirit, its blade suddenly became heavier.
Altoria turned to look at the Cursed Spirit before her.
"Work, work, work."
Words filled with negativity continuously came from the Cursed Spirit's mouth.
I see, it's pressure.
This Cursed Spirit's Cursed Technique was to inflict immense pressure on any enemy it touched.
It was a kind of debuff that weakened the enemy's strength.
"Enough!"
Altoria pointed the Sacred Sword at the Cursed Spirit.
"Is your entire life just about work?!"
"Eat properly, sleep properly, and love yourself!"
The Wind King Barrier dissipated, revealing the wind-wrapped Sacred Sword.
Golden magical energy covered the entire blade.
Altoria stepped forward and swung the Sacred Sword.
Golden sword light flashed three times.
Altoria's slash cut the Cursed Spirit's body into several pieces.
The reason it wasn't immediately destroyed was because Altoria remembered Eiji's instruction to keep it alive.
She's strong.
Satoru Gojo's eyes meticulously observed Altoria's every move during the fight.
I wonder if the Curry Stick can break through my Infinity.
Eiji, standing beside him, heard Satoru Gojo's murmur.
Tsk, I kind of want to know now. Should I ask Lyra to give it a swing?
I believe Lyra wouldn't mind.
While they were contemplating, Suguru Geto had already stepped forward and subdued the Cursed Spirit.
"What is it?"
Suguru Geto noticed Altoria's gaze fixed on him as he subdued the Cursed Spirit.
"Um... is it tasty?"
"Huh?"
Suguru Geto hadn't expected Altoria to ask that.
"It's incredibly unappetizing."
He had originally wanted to say that the Cursed Spirit tasted like swallowing a rag that had wiped up vomit, but looking at Altoria's stunningly beautiful face, Suguru Geto inexplicably didn't want to give such a nauseating answer.
"Eiji, it's over."
Altoria returned to Eiji's side, sword in one hand.
Satoru Gojo, who had somehow produced a handkerchief, bit down on it, his face filled with resentment.
"Damn it, I'm so jealous. I wish I had my own female knight too."
"Satoru."
Suguru Geto looked at Satoru Gojo speechlessly. Was that something you could say to someone's face?
Eiji ignored him completely.
Taking out the Cursed Spirit information Shuji Zenin had given him in the car from his shadow, Eiji began planning the night's route.
Originally, the four of them were going to split up, but now that they were together, the original route was naturally unusable.
"How about we fly there?"
"Hm?"
"What's wrong?"
Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo leaned in, looking at the map in Eiji's hand.
"There are too many targets. If we go by car, we'll spend over 6 hours just on the road, and that's without traffic."
Everyone knows how city roads are. A straight kilometer might turn into five or six kilometers of winding paths.
As he spoke, Eiji's gaze fell on Suguru Geto.
"I'll take Lyra, and you take Satoru. We'll fly directly to each one, and we can finish by the middle of the night."
"What about the people outside?"
"I'll send the route map to the Assistant Supervisors. They can follow behind and check things."
"Oh, right. What do you guys want for a late-night snack?"
"How about sushi?"
"Sushi? Sure, that works."
As if wanting to finish the mission quickly to get to his late-night snack, Altoria didn't hold back in the subsequent battles.
Wind King Barrier.
Mana Burst.
And Altoria's hard-earned sword skills.
Several Cursed Spirits didn't last even a minute after meeting them.
Seeing Altoria's intentions, Eiji also went all out.
In confined indoor spaces, he personally handled things with White and Black. In open outdoor areas, he had Qiongqi and White pin them down.
Satoru Gojo's movements were also swift; clearly, he preferred going out with friends to catching Cursed Spirits.
Only Suguru Geto stood to the side, looking dejected.
Harvesting so many Grade 1 Cursed Spirits should have been a happy occasion.
Not needing to lift a finger, just waiting for high-quality Cursed Spirits to be delivered to him, that should have been even happier.
When two happy things happen at the same time, it should result in double the joy.
But why couldn't he feel happy?
"What's wrong, Suguru?"
"Nothing, nothing. I'm just a bit full."
Full?
Oh, right. Suguru Geto had already drunk 6 bottles of Honey Tea.
Eiji picked up a can of Honey Tea and gently turned it.
Net content: 330ml.
Nearly 2 liters?
That's indeed a lot. It seems that unless you're drinking beer, most people can't chug down more than a dozen bottles of other drinks or beverages at once.
"Maybe... we should skip the rest?"
Eiji asked cautiously.
"No, it's fine. I'll just drink less Honey Tea later."
Suguru Geto was still persevering.
If you were presented with an opportunity to earn a year's salary by working hard for a single day, would you go for it?
Suguru Geto said yes, he definitely would.
Even if he didn't have Honey Tea to wash down the taste, he would still eat all the remaining Cursed Spirits.
In the end, Eiji used the Reverse Cursed Technique to alleviate Suguru Geto's physical symptoms, and Suguru Geto, enduring the pain, subdued all the Cursed Spirits before returning home to rest.
Not at all saddened by Suguru Geto's withdrawal, Eiji and the other two immediately headed to the sushi restaurant.
After finishing their late-night meal, Eiji sternly refused Satoru Gojo's persistent requests to try the Curry Stick, despite Satoru Gojo's constant pestering.
The next day, when Eiji went to visit Suguru Geto at his home, he found that Suguru Geto was already as good as new.
"Truly worthy of being a strong individual in Jujutsu Kaisen," Eiji thought, "even a gorilla would be ashamed of such physical prowess."
