Shibuya, Tokyo.
"Work is shit, overti is super shit!"
Kento Nanami was panting as he exorcised a Cursed Spirit. At this mont, the lost Sukuna's Finger had not yet been recovered. As a Jujutsu Sorcerer, one of the core strengths of the Jujutsu World, he was working overti to find Sukuna's Finger while also exorcising any Cursed Spirits he encountered.
Tired, incredibly tired.
The working environnt in the Jujutsu World was already characterized by a severe shortage of personnel compared to the workload. Although most of the work pressure fell on Special Grade Sorcerers, the remaining ten or twenty percent was enough to overwhelm these mid-tier Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Furthermore, with the recent integration of the Jujutsu World and human society, Jujutsu Sorcerers had begun working long hours on a daily basis to prevent any public outcry about Cursed Spirits brutally killing humans during this sensitive period, which could disrupt the hard-won balance.
Of course, their salaries had also multiplied several tis over.
"Let's rest for a bit. We've searched this entire area thoroughly, so we can probably confirm there's no Sukuna's Finger here."
Haibara walked over to Kento Nanami, holding a cold glass soda in each hand. As a junior from Tokyo Jujutsu High, only one year younger than Gojo and the others, they had now beco independent, mid-tier Jujutsu Sorcerers capable of handling an entire area between the two of them.
Kento Nanami took the glass soda from Haibara, twisted open the cap, and took a couple of gulps before leaning against the nearby wall and slumping to the ground.
"Haibara, I'm planning to quit."
"Huh?"
Haibara sat down next to Kento Nanami, looking surprised yet not surprised. While the concept of a Jujutsu Sorcerer quitting was astonishing, if the person saying it was Kento Nanami, it seed perfectly normal.
As Kento Nanami's good friend, he had heard negative remarks from Kento Nanami daily since their ti at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Perhaps those who didn't know him well would think it was just simple complaining, but Haibara knew Kento Nanami was always serious.
"The recent frequent overti has also allowed to earn enough money for retirent, and then... then I want to rest for a while. Afterwards, I also discussed it with Sister i i. Guess what Sister i i told ?"
"What did she say?"
Haibara chose to listen quietly. As a friend, he wouldn't interfere with Kento Nanami's decision. At this mont, he just needed to be a listener for emotional release.
"Sister i i told , 'If you want to beco a new you, go north. If you want to return to your old self, go south.' Hearing that, I unhesitatingly chose the south. Haibara, I want to live in Malaysia for a while."
Kento Nanami said this while slightly tilting his head back to look at the sky. Haibara, the listener, smiled happily and raised a clenched fist towards him.
"Malaysia? That's a great choice!"
Facing Haibara's smile, the pressure in Kento Nanami's heart instantly lessened by more than half. He slightly curved his lips upward and also raised a fist, bumping it against Haibara's.
"When you resign, you can co and join ."
"Alright, I will!"
The two laughed and discussed their future prospects. Although mid-tier Jujutsu Sorcerers were working hard due to overti now, it was also foreseeable that once the Jujutsu World and human society were fully integrated, the number of official Jujutsu Sorcerers would increase, and the number of Cursed Spirits would decrease, thus significantly reducing the pressure on these mid-tier Jujutsu Sorcerers.
After a few minutes of discussion, the two instinctively stood up from the ground. Just as they were patting down their clothes and preparing to continue working, their phones, which they carried with them, all vibrated.
They both took out their phones from their pockets, puzzled, and looked at the group chat they had ford. The group ntion from Geto Suguru made their eyes widen.
["Sukuna's Fingers have been collected, and Sister Chinatsu's body has fully recovered too (scissors hand sign)!"].
"Nanami, our senior's body has recovered!"
"Haha, overti is officially over."
Kento Nanami raised one hand to cover one side of his face, an irrepressible smile spreading across his lips, though he tried to suppress it.
On the other side, the Tokyo Jujutsu High infirmary.
The healing light of Reverse Cursed Technique flickered over the injured person's wound. In an instant, the wound that had caused the injured person unbearable pain was restored to its original state.
"Alright, but next ti you exorcise a Cursed Spirit, be more careful. For a Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer to be ssed up like this by a Grade 3 Cursed Spirit, isn't it embarrassing to even say it?"
Ieiri Shoko venomously critiqued the injured person she had just treated. The injured person awkwardly scratched the back of his head, bowing his head and repeatedly apologizing.
After seeing off the injured person, Ieiri Shoko exhaled a tired breath. Just as she was about to take off her white lab coat, another injured person was sent back by i i.
"Shoko, there's another one."
"Oh, for heaven's sake, this is killing ."
Ieiri Shoko sighed heavily in exasperation, then took the injured person from i i and began her Reverse Cursed Technique treatnt.
For Ieiri Shoko, most injuries only required direct treatnt with Reverse Cursed Technique, but if the injury was too severe, it would require the assistance of modern dical tools such as scalpels.
i i leaned against the wall, quietly observing Ieiri Shoko's treatnt process. The injured person currently being treated was from the sa area of jurisdiction as her, so she brought him back when she saw he was injured. It definitely wasn't because of any monetary transaction... Hmm, definitely not.
Soon, the injured person under Shoko's Reverse Cursed Technique treatnt recovered completely, and Shoko's Cursed Energy was completely drained. She leaned on the hospital bed with one hand, panting heavily.
"Finished, done for the day. If there are any more injured later, don't send them to . Send them directly to Jujutsu Sorcerers whose Cursed Technique can provide comparable healing effects, or wait until I've recovered."
Ieiri Shoko muttered to herself while taking out her phone, preparing to announce this in the relevant dical group chat. Who knew that at the sa ti, Geto Suguru's ssage was also sent to their group chat.
Upon learning that Chinatsu's body had recovered, both Shoko and i i smiled. Just as she was about to call herself, as if telepathically, Geto Suguru's call also ca through.
"Hello? Shoko, can you make so ti? We're planning to pick up Gojo from the airport and then go out for a al. Um, Nanami and Haibara are also coming. Although I really wanted the principal to co too, he's a very busy man right now."
Geto Suguru's voice ca through Shoko's speakerphone. i i, standing nearby, leaned in and said with a smile, "Can I co too? A dinner hosted by Miss Chinatsu must be quite luxurious; I wouldn't want to miss it~"
Hearing i i's voice coming from Geto Suguru's speakerphone, before Geto Suguru could respond, Chinatsu, standing nearby, leaned in and responded with a smile.
"Of course, no problem! Sister i i, you should co too!"
