Lost Paradise | BOOK 1

035 | 𝙰𝚏𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚑

Roughly two days after the Origin of Obedience Arc, quite a lot has happened.

A hard slap was delivered making the purple haired male stagger and fall on the ground wincing in pain.

Staring him down was the woman who claimed herself as his mother- his creator.

Kaito silently cradled himself listening as the woman complains and scolds him.

Not only did he let his comrades get killed but he- Kiyomizu Kaito, K-04061 failed to retrieve the finger of Sukuna and failed to kill the singularity Dazai Yukiko.

Bianca Hunters who came into terms that her most prized creation has been tainted not only by those nasty jujutsu sorcerers but also the very people she used to work alongside with.

To put her 'creation' out of It's misery, she opted to kill the singularity she intentionally made.

It was more of coming to peace with herself- for the selfish woman.

"You are a disgrace." She scowled looking at the boy. "A failure just like the others."

"I regret ever thinking something like you would surpass D-14185."

He had his legs crossed as he talks over the phone, dumping an unholy amount of sugar in his cup of coffee.

"Man, it wasn't just Sukuna's finger, when we investigated the corpses..." He cheerily as the person on the other line impatiently listens.

"... we discovered the bodies were injected with other things "

"The first years this year are something else," Satoru commented feeling smug. "They each defeated a special grade curse! Considering Yu-chan's follow-up mission in Kanagawa..." He paused.

"It's probably thanks to my awesome teaching!" He boasted making the person in the other line scoff.

"Cut the crap, its my day off." Utahime grumbled. "You wanted to talk about The Party , right?" She inquired.

" Who's coming?" Asked the white haired man.

" No idea, everyone seems busy." the raven haired woman sighed. "Should we try asking the students ? "

"Sure, I have a low alcohol tolerance so non-alcoholic beverages are fine." He replied. "Keep asking around, I'll leave it to you."

He ended the call with a sigh.

Not so long ago, the incident at the exchange event took place.

So Gojo has no choice but to be cautious especially around who's probably listening to Utahime.

He doesn't want to assume that the traitor— the person revealing their plans to their possible enemy as one of the students.

Nor did he want to suspect his newfound friends in Yokohama.

It started when Yukiko pulled him aside one day after the event. Saying that she has a speculation of a mole amongst the staff of jujutsu high.

Satoru immediately ruled out the brown haired girl since her loyalty holds no bounds.

It's a fatal flaw that might get her in trouble one day but at this moment- he was thankful for that.

One powerful and insanely smart ally at their side.

He twirled his smartphone around before pressing send to the transaction— received on the other line by Mei who started chuckling at the amount the man was willing to give in order to get what he wanted.
