The day after exorcising the Cursed Spirit Shadow Crocodile, Eiji's mission report caused quite a stir within the Jujutsu Management Council.
Being able to exorcise a Special Grade Cursed Spirit at 15 years old was already genius-level, but Eiji wasn't the only one capable of such a feat.
Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo could also achieve it.
However, reaching a Domain Expansion at 15 was exceedingly rare.
This news brought both joy and sorrow to different parties.
The one rejoicing was naturally Naobito Zenin.
Despite Eiji's poor attitude towards the Zenin Family and his stated intention to establish a new Zenin household, Eiji's demeanor towards him had been surprisingly good.
The same applied to Toji Fushiguro.
While Toji Fushiguro wouldn't show any mercy if someone from the Zenin Family crossed him, he still gave him some face.
Of course, it might have been due to the money and Cursed Tools involved.
Thinking about this, Naobito Zenin felt a pang of sympathy for the Zenin Family's treasury. Many powerful Cursed Tools had been taken by Toji Fushiguro, and the gaps hadn't been refilled yet.
However, to everyone's surprise, the one most troubled was the head of the Gojo Family.
When Eiji submitted his Jujutsu sorcerer rank assessment application, the Gojo Family head thought it was time for Eiji to change his surname to Gojo.
Before they could act, however, Satoru Gojo intervened.
"Don't do anything unnecessary, okay?"
"Ah, right, how about I go be the Divine Child for the Zenin Family for a while?"
Seeing Satoru Gojo say this with a smirk, the Gojo Family head felt a tremor in his heart.
He believed Satoru Gojo was truly capable of such a thing; it seemed any absurd act could become reasonable when it came to Satoru Gojo.
If the direct approach failed, the Gojo Family head wanted to resort to underhanded tactics, but it was unsuccessful.
Coupled with Satoru Gojo's obstruction, the Gojo Family head felt a sense of absurdity at that time.
We were ready to fight to the death, why did His Majesty surrender first?
Not only did they fail to recruit the Divine Child of the Ten Shadows Technique, but their own Six Eyes prodigy was being led astray.
Eiji: I'm suing for defamation! You're defaming me!
Satoru Gojo was leading others astray?
At this moment, at Jujutsu High.
"How about we go to the beach for a bit?"
As soon as Masamichi Yaga left the classroom, Eiji suggested to the others.
"Oh, sure, sure, let's go right now."
Hearing the prospect of going out, Satoru Gojo's spirits immediately lifted.
"Satoru, we still have class this afternoon."
"It doesn't matter. This afternoon's class is physical training, and we can practice that at the beach just the same."
"But..."
"Suguru, it's okay to relax once in a while. We can just leave a leave slip for Teacher Yaga."
"Eiji, even you're like this."
"We just worked overtime for so many days, a little relaxation won't hurt."
With that, he pulled Suguru Geto and Altoria along.
The minority obeys the majority. They set off.
Gulp, gulp.
Seagulls circled above the yacht.
A small yacht was docked by the shore.
It was a Gojo Family yacht.
"Are the girls ready yet?"
Satoru Gojo was lounging lazily by the yacht's window.
"What, can't wait to put sunscreen on Shoko?"
Eiji teased him from the side.
"No, I'll get hit."
Satoru Gojo's right hand waved repeatedly near his face.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
As they were talking, Shoko Ieiri and Altoria finally emerged from the changing room.
Shoko Ieiri wore a red bikini, exuding youthful energy.
Altoria's swimsuit was primarily white with some blue trim, tied with blue bows on the sides and back.
"Oh~, looking good," Satoru Gojo gave the two a thumbs-up.
"If you keep staring, I'll dig your eyes out," Shoko Ieiri said with the gentlest tone imaginable, delivering the most terrifying threat.
"It suits you, Riya."
"Thanks."
Although Altoria knew modern swimsuits were like this, she still felt a bit unaccustomed to wearing one for the first time.
"Want to play with this?" Eiji handed Altoria a water gun that was entirely transparent, with two yellow water storage compartments on the top and bottom.
"What is this?"
Altoria held the water gun and pulled the trigger.
Interesting. Altoria pulled the trigger again, aiming at the water's surface.
"Want to go diving? I heard the underwater scenery here is great."
"We didn't bring any diving gear."
"It's fine, we're strong enough, we won't drown, will we?"
"That's true." Suguru Geto nodded.
The underwater world possessed a dreamlike beauty.
Sunlight refracted through the clear, azure seawater, creating a fantastical aesthetic.
Countless small fish darted among colorful corals in the water.
The unpolluted seawater was truly beautiful.
However, the Island Nation in this world wouldn't have a chance to discharge wastewater, because over a decade later, Kenjaku would initiate the Culling Game, wiping out everyone.
Should I consider taking control of the Island Nation during its political vacuum?
Eiji relaxed his body, letting himself float on the sea's surface, his thoughts drifting far away.
At this moment, Satoru Gojo was racing Suguru Geto in swimming.
Shoko Ieiri had spotted a beautiful fish and was contemplating whether to catch it and raise it.
Altoria stood beside Shoko Ieiri, watching a sea turtle slowly pass overhead.
The group also made do with the local resources, preparing a seafood barbecue and seafood soup.
After eating and drinking their fill, Eiji and Shoko Ieiri comfortably sunbathed on the beach.
Unknowingly, Eiji fell into a deep sleep.
"Satoru, are you sure about this?"
"Aren't you doing it too, Suguru?"
"No, Eiji is fine, but Miss Ieiri will hate you."
"Ah, no problem, Shoko won't say anything about this level."
Voices kept entering Eiji's mind.
Stirred from his daze, Eiji tried to rub his sleepy eyes.
"Huh?"
Eiji found he couldn't move.
He opened his eyes in confusion.
What greeted him was sand covering his body and... two plump mounds made of sand.
#.
"Satoru, have you decided what to carve on the tombstone?"
Eiji turned his head and looked at Satoru Gojo with a terrifying smile.
Then, Eiji's smile froze.
What Eiji saw was Shoko Ieiri, also dozing.
However, Shoko Ieiri was also buried in sand at this moment.
Judging by the outline, Satoru Gojo had used sand to sculpt Shoko Ieiri into a muscular man's physique comparable to Toji Fushiguro.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the giant object built from sand mixed with seawater at the lower body.
"Pfft."
Eiji couldn't help but chuckle.
Shoko Ieiri was also woken up.
"You guys are so loud, huh?"
Sensing something was wrong, Shoko Ieiri opened her eyes.
"Gojo!"
The next moment, Shoko Ieiri's roar echoed through the sky.
"Hey, Geto, send me a copy of the photo."
"Oh, hold on."
"Why is there only Shoko's? Where's mine?"
"Oh."
Suguru Geto hadn't expected Eiji to want to collect his own embarrassing past too.
Eiji ignored Suguru Geto's gaze. Honestly, after spending so much time with Satoru Gojo, Eiji understood a principle.
If I'm not embarrassed, then the embarrassment falls on others.
If I don't care, Satoru Gojo won't be able to tease me with my embarrassing past.
Soon, another photo was sent to Eiji's phone.
"You know, even though Gojo is a bit punchable, his craftsmanship is actually quite good."
Eiji commented as he looked at the graceful figure built from sand.
"That's true."
Suguru Geto strongly agreed with that point.
