A Bizarre Adventure That Begins in Jujutsu Kaisen

Terunori Gojo bowed deeply.

"I understand. So, does Lord Theo have any further instructions regarding the functional zoning?"

Theo did not answer immediately, but looked out the window, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

So Yuki Tsukumo stepped into the role ahead of time and spoke for him:

The above-ground portion is mainly used for administrative offices, meeting reception, and intelligence processing centers.

On the top floor of the building, I hope to integrate a curse-specialized 'radar' system for large-scale, high-precision monitoring and early warning of curse energy fluctuations.

The underground section, specifically the first and second basement levels, is planned to serve as a storage warehouse for magical artifacts, a regular training ground, and an equipment maintenance center.

The third and fourth basement levels are designed as highly reinforced "Sealing Buildings" and "Isolation Observation Zones" for the safe containment of special cursed objects or the temporary detention of dangerous targets.

The fifth basement level... is temporarily planned as an unused 'strategic reserve level,' but its structure and foundation must be built to the highest standards, with interfaces reserved for future deep excavation and expansion, in preparation for potentially more covert or specialized uses in the future.

Zhao Xin listened attentively, and before he knew it, he had taken out a leather-covered notebook and was quickly taking notes with a fountain pen, the nib making a soft rustling sound as it glided across the paper.

He did not raise any questions about the special nature of the "fifth basement level," fully demonstrating his professional competence.

Dio suddenly added, "The barrier design follows the multi-layered nesting approach I just mentioned, there's no problem with that."

However, one thing needs to be noted—the cafeteria must be large enough.

It's not just big, it's large enough to accommodate at least five thousand people at the same time.

The future of the sorcery world will inevitably require expansion, and the number of permanent staff at headquarters will increase significantly.

Furthermore, I plan to transform the All-Sorcerer Conference into a regular annual meeting, at which time headquarters personnel will gather.

The issue of meals is a major concern for efficiency and morale; it cannot be taken lightly.

The hand that was recording the letter paused for a moment, clearly the scale of "five thousand people" was somewhat unexpected.

But after a quick thought, he made a suggestion: "If that's the case, perhaps we could consider adopting the concept of a 'distributed, multi-level canteen'."

Instead of setting up a giant cafeteria on a single floor, a medium-sized cafeteria area is created on multiple floors of the office building—for example, the southwest corner of each floor.

These canteens form a three-dimensional network in space, each with its own unique culinary features.

The benefits of doing this are that it can disperse the pressure of the flow of diners, reduce congestion in elevators, shorten the walking distance for people to pick up and eat their food, and improve efficiency.

Meanwhile, from the perspective of building pipeline layout, decentralized kitchens and dining areas are also more conducive to the conservation and efficient use of energy such as water, electricity, and gas.

After listening, Theo pretended to be thoughtful, then nodded: "This idea is acceptable; it should be included in the detailed design considerations."

Zhao Xin closed the notebook, carefully put the pen back into his jacket pocket, took a step back, and led the team members behind him to bow deeply to Theo and Yuki.

"Thank you for your clear instructions, sirs."

I will now lead the team back to refine the second plan based on today's discussion, and incorporate requirements such as functional zoning and canteen planning.

Three days later, I will present you with complete and detailed design drawings and a budget report for your review.

Theo nodded in agreement with the letter: "Thank you for your hard work. I look forward to seeing your results."

Once these necessary administrative tasks were temporarily completed, he left with Jujutsu Yuki as promised.

The two entered a retro-style bar located on a quiet street corner.

It was daytime, and the store was unusually quiet with no other customers besides them.

They ordered two chilled draft beers from the bartender and sat side by side in a semi-circular booth by the window, which was covered with dark velvet.

Yuki took off her motorcycle jacket, revealing a daring off-shoulder tank top underneath that perfectly accentuated her stunning figure.

Viewed from the side, the undulating curves are faintly visible, creating a visually compelling effect.

"You're dressed... a little too lightly," Theo said calmly, his gaze fixed on her.

"Even if you become the Director of Spellcasting, you're still a young man." Yuki rested his chin on his hand, his smile mischievous. "Your eyes are practically glued to the screen, so stop pretending to be a prim and proper old fogey and being stubborn."

She tilted her head slightly, blinked her right eye playfully and quickly, touched her lips lightly with her fingertips, and then elegantly raised her hand towards Theo, making a lazy and ambiguous kiss gesture.

"Because you perfectly match my aesthetic," Theo admitted without hesitation, then tactically glanced out the window. "Just for your own enjoyment."

"Director," Yuki leaned forward slightly, his eyes gleaming with undisguised curiosity, "you wouldn't... still be single, would you?"

Dio turned around, a rare hint of confusion flashing in his eyes:

"Single...? I'm not so sure."

In my hazy memory, it seems... there was someone very important who was always waiting for me.

However, it seems that the relationship between her and me is not a traditional romantic one.

It's... a very strange, indescribable feeling.

"Wow—" Yugira drawled, her interest piqued. "You have amnesia? That's so dramatic! Tell me about it!"

As she spoke, she naturally shifted her body, instantly closing the distance to the boundary of social distancing.

"...I am a citizen of Zheng Guo," Theo stated, attempting to keep the conversation on track.

"And then? And then?"

She seemed not to hear, and casually moved forward, directly breaking through social distance and entering the "private sphere" of her friends and even closer.

"...And then, I'm also a physics PhD, a typical STEM guy, and I've had two relationships." Theo turned to the side, making a slight tactical lean back.

Seeing her bright face practically pressed against his, he abruptly changed the subject, asking, "...Are you single now too?"

These words seemed to have triggered a switch; the bright smile on Tsukumo Yuki's face instantly vanished, her shoulders slumped slightly, and her tone carried a hint of genuine regret:

"Oh yes... I'm a single woman in my late twenties, I'm so sorry."

"Incredible..."

Dio responded, his voice lowering slightly.

He stopped dodging and instead straightened his back, looking directly into Yuki's eyes, which were inches away.

"I'm actually a little tempted...maybe because...seeing Jay and Satoru both embracing their own love."

Yuki suddenly widened his eyes, raised a hand and asked, "Wait a minute—who are these Suguru and Satoru you're talking about?!"

Could it be referring to... Geto Suguru (Geto Suguru, げとうすぐる) and Gojo Satoru (Gojo Satoru, ごじょうさとる)! ? "

"yes."

Theo nodded readily, his tone carrying a sense of entitlement, as if to say, "Is there any doubt about this?"

"Considering the context, the only two people we both know as 'Jie' and 'Wu' are these two."

"Eh—!"

Tsukumo Yuki let out an incredulous gasp, her hands gripping the edge of the booth tightly, almost bouncing off her seat.

"So, of the three top-tier singles from ten years ago, am I the only one still single?!"

Her eyes widened, her face filled with a mixture of absurdity and intense curiosity.

"Who did that guy, Gojo, with such a wicked personality that everyone hates him, end up with?!"

Theo calmly revealed the answer:

"Hime Anka. It was just officially announced last night, didn't you see the update?"

Wu said, "If I'm with her, I'll never have to worry about life being boring."

Then Shoko left a comment in the comments section, wishing them well.
