In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Yoshino Junpei?

Yoshikage Kira was slightly surprised, but considering that Japan is a village, it wasn't surprising.

To be on the safe side, avoiding contact with him is the best option.

But... we're already here.

Kira Yoshikage's expression shifted slightly, but he still stepped into the elevator and began to think about what to eat that night.

Not having to work means he can save four hours every day.

Even if you need to be busy for three to five hours occasionally, you can still squeeze out an hour to cook. Or you can cook while playing games. If all else fails, you can let the pink cat cook. At least that way you can save some money.

Ding dong~!

With a soft click, the elevator stopped on the 22nd floor.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a pink-haired boy with a chubby face and a black-haired boy with bangs covering his right eye, chatting and laughing together.

"But the second one is quite interesting!"

"Yes! You're right, only the second part is worth appreciating!"

"While the second film may seem similar to the first and third at first glance, it portrays the emotional transformation of a perfectionist into a self-destructive individual very delicately. Do you enjoy watching movies, Mr. Itadori?"

The black-haired boy's voice abruptly stopped the moment the elevator doors fully opened.

"I've been watching it recently for some reason, but not in the cinema."

The chubby-faced, pink-haired boy didn't notice anything amiss and muttered to himself as he walked into the elevator.

Someone like him who gets beaten up for watching movies is probably a rare sight even in all of Japan, right?

Yoshino Junpei paused slightly, his expression shifting for a fleeting moment, but he quickly regained his composure, nonchalantly stepping into the elevator. With his back to Kira Yoshikage, he continued chatting and laughing with the boy beside him.

"Although on-demand viewing is more convenient, it is still more touching to see interesting works in the cinema."

Although he tried his best not to show any exaggerated expressions, the boy couldn't help but wonder:

It's him, Shioka Hatsuru! Why did we meet here?

Was it a coincidence? Or was it premeditated?

No, it shouldn't have been premeditated.

After all, Shioka Hatsuru had already deleted his contact information, so she must have been prepared to sever all ties completely.

So, is it just a simple coincidence?

Or……

gravitational?

Yoshino Junpei muttered to himself.

He inexplicably recalled the scene of their first meeting:

"Do you believe in gravity?"

At that time, he didn't know the answer yet, but he chose to accept the transaction with a 'let's give it a try' mentality.

But what happened afterward gradually made him a firm believer in 'gravity'.

Because the cursed spirit called 'Real Person', just as Shioka Hatsuruno said, they did indeed meet at the movie theater, and even the approximate time matched.

That was no coincidence, but a genuine twist of fate.

The man named Shioka Hatsuru seems to be able to see through their fate and their future to some extent.

During their first meeting, he already saw his future where he would meet 'the real person', and through that, he also saw 'the real person's' future.

Yoshino Junpei didn't know what that future would be like, but he knew that Shiohana Hatsuru, who saw Makoto's future, decided to kill him directly. Combined with Itadori Yuujin and others' attitudes towards the 'Cursed Spirit,' it wasn't hard to guess how much harm 'Makoto' would cause in the future.

This means that Shioka Hatsuyuki, like the sorcerers, is in some way maintaining the peace of the world.

He killed the real person because the real person's future was harmful to the world.

He didn't kill himself, perhaps because he believed his future was beneficial to the world, or perhaps because he couldn't bring himself to harm the world.

Of course, this can also be put in another way—

The future of the real person is harmful to Shioka Hatsuyuki, while his existence will not have any impact on Shioka Hatsuyuki's future.

So, what does their meeting now mean?

Ding dong~!

The elevator reached the first floor, and Hisahito Itadori stepped out first, waving to Junpei Yoshino, who was still in a daze.

"Shunping, we should go."

Yoshino Junpei hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Excuse me, could you wait a moment? I need to use the restroom."

He glanced to his right out of the corner of his eye and saw that the tall, blond man had not left the hotel but was casually walking towards the restroom.

"Huh? Didn't you go while you were in the room?"

"Ah, I was a little nervous when I left home and forgot. I'm so sorry."

"Well, it's okay, I'll wait for you here."

Yoshino Junpei breathed a sigh of relief, handed the umbrella to Itadori Yuujin, and quickly walked towards the public restroom on the first floor.

And in the washroom, he did exactly as expected.

Yoshino Junpei gathered his thoughts, but couldn't help asking the question that had been nagging at him:

Is this a coincidence or fate?

"What do you think?"

Yoshikage Kira did not answer, but instead asked a question in return.

Yoshino Junpei paused for a moment, then answered with unwavering firmness:

I believe it's fate!

Yoshikage Kira did not deny it, because he had already seen that Junpei Yoshino had been completely fooled.

However, believing in fate is not necessarily a bad thing.

Yoshikage Kira was originally considering who to find to reboot the story, but now it seems there's no need for that anymore.

Yoshikage Kira took out his phone, showed LINE to Junpei Yoshino, and slowly said:

"Then, let's make another deal."

"What deal?"

Yoshino Junpei skillfully re-added him on LINE and asked curiously.

"It's not the right time yet. You'll know later."

Yoshikage Kira patted him on the shoulder and responded in a calm tone.

"it is good."

Yoshino Junpei paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Is it too early for him to know the specific details of the transaction?

The same thing happened last time; the other party deliberately didn't tell him any specific information about the real person, probably because they didn't want their fate to be interfered with.

In other words, he can just do whatever he wants?

With these questions in mind, Yoshino Junpei returned to the hotel lobby and met up with Itadori Hisahito.

Yuji Itadori excitedly patted Junpei Yoshino on the shoulder:

"Hey, Shunping, I just checked online! There's a big movie theater nearby, and they're showing 'The Worm Man 2'. How about we go see a movie before we eat?"

"Okay!"

Yoshino Junpei smiled and nodded, but the next second he saw Itadori Yuujin suddenly stumble.

Just as Yoshino Junpei reached out to take it, Itadori Yuujin regained his footing, turned around in confusion, and muttered to himself:

"it's wired."

"what happened?"

"No, it's just that I feel like someone is looking at me with hostile eyes."

"There's no one here. You must be imagining things."

"I guess so, well, let's go see a movie!"

Yuji Itadori quickly put this trivial matter out of his mind and happily walked with Junpei Yoshino toward the nearby movie theater.

In Hisahito Itadori's soul world, the man seated upon a throne formed from mountains of corpses and seas of blood opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed:

"Is it an illusion?"

At the corner, Yoshikage Kira, who had quietly pressed his thumb, also walked out of the hotel.

Since we're already here, we should at least give it a shot and see how it feels.

He didn't deliberately increase the bomb's power, but judging from the feel of it just now, that bomb probably destroyed about one percent of Itadori Yuujin's soul, and the two Sukuna that had 'fused' with Itadori Yuujin would naturally suffer the same damage.

However, Ryoumen Sukuna's soul strength is very high, and judging from the feeling just now, the damage to his soul was only about one-thousandth.

But it is precisely because the damage is lower that it is harder to detect.

Moreover, since the soul of Ryomen Sukuna is incomplete, unless one engages in a suicidal act like a real person directly touching the soul, it would be difficult for him to detect the slight damage, which is almost like a mosquito bite.

Even if there are some doubts, there will only be a feeling of being watched.

After all, compared to the whole soul, one-thousandth of the soul is insignificant, and a small gap will not cause any adverse reaction.

However, there is an old saying:

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant nest.

Gaps are not scary.

But the next time, just a little force along the breach can cause the dam to collapse at a very low cost, blowing the sturdy dam to smithereens!
