Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

The Furano coastline in Hokkaido.

The torrential rain finally stopped, and the sun tore through the thick clouds, casting its rays upon the ravaged land.

The new moon of December leans against a broken piece of breakwater.

He looked down at his hands.

Several fine cracks in his palm were slowly healing. The demon's power had still caused him considerable damage.

"Give."

A bottle of mineral water, with the cap unscrewed, was handed to him.

On the first day of December, he looked up and saw Zhenyi standing beside him. She was in no better shape than him; the hem of her trench coat was torn, and there was a scratch on her cheek.

He took the water, tilted his head back, and gulped it down.

"How is Senior Yigu?"

"Miss Shoko arrived ten minutes ago, and her treatment should be over by now."

Mayi sat down to the side, her gaze sweeping over the destroyed coastline in front of her.

"Although the town was barely saved, the coastline receded nearly 500 meters inland."

"This is a big problem."

On the first day of December, he crushed the empty plastic bottle and casually tossed it at his feet.

"You're saying she'll go and summon other demons?"

"Yes, that's right. And the body could be reshaped at any time."

On the first day of the twelfth month, he stared intently at the calm sea in the distance, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

"What's more troublesome is that she discovered my condition."

"What do you mean?"

"Although my current body is physical, its foundation is the Shadow Core. I still can't unleash my full power, which is a good opportunity for them." December stood up and stretched his sore shoulders.

Zhenyi frowned.

"So we just have to wait for her to come knocking on our door?"

"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die. She needs to regain her strength, and that requires her to devour everything. Seawater, life, and magical power are all her nourishment."

"She will send 'things' up here. Before her true form recovers, she will use her laws to infect and assimilate this sea area."

"So, we're going to have to fight a long battle." Zhenyi stood up and patted the sand off her skirt.

"Boss lady, it looks like the flower shop's holiday will be extended again." December 1st forced a slightly tired smile.

Zhenyi ignored his teasing and looked into his eyes, her tone more serious than ever before.

"December 1st. Don't be the only one at the front next time. I told you, we're accomplices."

December 1st paused for a moment, then nodded.

"it is good."

……

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, in the underground conference room of the Jujutsu High School.

The lighting was dim. On the huge holographic projection screen, countless red warning coordinates flashed.

Satoru Gojo sat at the head of the long table, his legs casually propped up on the edge. His sunglasses were pushed up to his forehead, and his six pale blue eyes were fixed on the data on the screen without any emotion.

Besides him, the meeting room also included Zenin Maki, Itadori Hisahito, Fushiguro Megumi, and others.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it was suffocating.

Ijichi stood in front of the screen, his hands trembling like leaves as he held the report.

"Yesterday...yesterday, a massive tsunami struck the Hokkaido coastline. Although the tsunami was eventually dispersed by an unknown force, the coastal topography has been completely altered."

Ichiji swallowed hard and clicked on the next picture.

"Starting at 3 a.m., 'Window' observation stations around the world began reporting anomalies."

Several images switched on the screen.

The first image shows the European Alps. Above an abandoned castle, a massive tornado, over ten kilometers in diameter, has formed. Inside the tornado, an eerie blue storm shimmers, instantly tearing any drones that approach into pieces.

The second image shows the Amazon rainforest in South America. Vast swathes of rainforest collapsed into bottomless swamps in just half an hour. Satellite thermal imaging reveals a massive, hyperthermic life form slowly moving deep underground.

The third image shows the Himalayas in China. Although there are no obvious signs of damage, the concentration of magical energy in the area surged hundreds of times in an instant, and the ley lines were in an extremely chaotic state.

"at last……"

Ijichi pulled up a photo of the sea off Okinawa.

In the photo, the once azure sea now appears to have an eerie, ghostly blue hue. Numerous dead fish float on the surface, their bodies covered in a layer of blue slime resembling melted candle wax.

"Large-scale mutations have occurred in marine life off the coast of Okinawa. Analysis of the seawater composition shows that it contains an unknown, highly corrosive energy substance."

After finishing his report, Ichiji stepped aside and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The meeting room was deathly silent.

"demon."

Etotsu Yuta broke the silence. His chest was wrapped in thick bandages, and his face was pale.

"Mr. December said that after Basha escaped, she would definitely send a signal to notify the other demons."

"Seven." Fukuro Megumi crossed her arms and rested them on the table, her brows furrowed.

"Clap clap clap".

Suddenly, Gojo Satoru clapped his hands, and the crisp applause echoed in the conference room.

Everyone looked up at him.

"Don't give me that doomsday look." Gojo Satoru put his legs down, a smug smile playing on his lips. "They're just a few large-scale Super-grade cursed spirits."

"Teacher, this is no joke," Maki said coldly.

"I'm not kidding." Gojo Satoru stood up, walked to the screen, and pointed to the blue-glowing sea off Okinawa.

"Since that guy in December caused this trouble, he'll definitely have to clean it up. As for that water monster named Basha, let him deal with that headache."

Gojo Satoru turned his head and looked at Itadori and Fushiguro.

"As for us, we can't handle global disasters for now, nor do we have the energy to do so. But since these monsters want to reach into Japan's barrier, we have to chop off their hands."

"Hiruhito, Megumi, and Wild Rose. The three of you are going to Okinawa."

Gojo Satoru's tone turned cold.

"Something's wrong with that area of ​​the sea. Go and find out what that blue slime is. Remember, if you encounter any anomalies that you can't handle, retreat immediately and notify me."

"Maki, take Kinji to Hokkaido to support December and Mai."

"Yuta, you stay at the college to recover from your injuries. At the same time, monitor the ley lines across the country. Report to me immediately if you discover any signs of other demons entering the country."

Gojo Satoru issued instructions methodically.

"And what about you, Mr. Gojo?" Itadori asked.

"Me?" Gojo Satoru pushed down his sunglasses, covering his eyes that seemed to see through everything.

"I'm going to see some 'old friends'."

Gojo Satoru turned and walked towards the conference room door. He paused for a moment as he opened the door.

"Survive, everyone. The real battle is just beginning."

......

three days later.

Furano, Hokkaido.

The flower shop's wooden signboard has been re-hung.

Although most of the coastal buildings were destroyed, the town center of Furano miraculously survived thanks to the tsunami being blocked by the new moon. After a brief period of panic, the town's residents began rebuilding and restoring their lives.

However, a lingering salty and fishy smell always permeated the air.

In the flower shop.

On December 1st, he was slowly and methodically trimming a pot of withered cosmos flowers with scissors. His movements were steady, as if he had completely recovered from the exhaustion of the great battle.

The wind chimes on the door rang.

"Welcome." Zhenyi stood behind the counter without looking up.

A gaunt old man wearing a tattered raincoat walked in. He took off his wet fisherman's hat, revealing a face full of wrinkles and weathering.

On the first day of December, he stopped scissors in his hand.

He didn't sense any magical power. However, he smelled an extremely faint, nauseating fishy odor.

The old man walked to the counter and took out a few crumpled banknotes from his pocket.

"Little girl, get me two bunches of white chrysanthemums. Fresh ones, please."

The old man's voice was very hoarse.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Zhenyi skillfully pulled out a few white chrysanthemums and began to pack them. "Uncle, have things not been going well at sea lately? You don't look too well."

The old man sighed, a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Don't even mention going to sea. Who dares to go out to sea these days?"

On the first day of the twelfth month, he put down the scissors and walked to the counter.

"What's wrong with the water?" he asked casually.

The old man glanced at him, seemingly finding the two young men familiar, and then lowered his voice.

"We are fishermen from Wakamatsu Village in the north. These past two days, the seawater has changed color, turning a chilling, dark blue. And..."

The old man swallowed hard, his body trembling slightly.

"The village fisherman went to the beach to haul in his nets the night before last. The next morning, he was gone. We found his clothes on the rocks; they were soaked in that blue, sticky liquid. It was as if he had turned into water!"

Zhenyi paused in her hand holding the flower, then looked up at the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

December 1st's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Besides him, is anyone else missing?"

"Yes. Two more houses were gone last night. Not even bones were left, they all turned into that blue liquid. The village chief was terrified and told us to move out immediately. I came here today to buy flowers to mourn my old friends." The old man took the white chrysanthemums that Zhenyi had wrapped, paid, and hurriedly left the flower shop.

The wind chimes on the door fell silent again.

"It seems she hasn't been idle." Zhenyi put away the scissors on the counter.

On the first day of the twelfth month, I walked to the window and looked north. Ruo Song Village is less than thirty kilometers away.

"To melt a person into water?" Zhenyi felt a chill run down her spine.

"This must be one of its abilities. It needs not only seawater, but also the moisture and life force within human bodies. This blue water is its 'fellowship'."

On the first day of December, he turned around, tore off his apron, and threw it on the chair.

"Let's go, boss lady. We need to investigate this."

"Should we notify the college?" Zhenyi shoved the gun into the holster on her thigh.

"This level of followers doesn't even qualify as cursed spirits; at best, they're just lowly soldiers corrupted by the laws of nature." December 1st pushed open the glass door of the flower shop.

The two left the flower shop and drove north along the highway towards Wakamatsu Village.

The sky darkened again, and a light drizzle began to fall.
