028. opposite of fun

tengen held up a cube up that was visible to everybody. unlike the prison realm kenjaku had held up before he left everybody with the cursed spirits on october thirty first, this one didn't have eyes all over it.

what they were seeing from the side that was visible were four stitches keeping the slit on the cursed item shut.

"back?" fushiguro sucked in a breath.

tsumuko said that she had never heard of it and itadori asked if it were like a back gate. tengen approved of itadori's assumption, saying yes.

"before kenjaku found it, the prison realm was outside of my barrier protecting japan. i believe that it was overseas. by sealing this rear gate, i was hiding the existence of the front, but it was no use. satoru gojo is sealed in this rear gate."

so there was hope after all and itadori's head leaned forward, "then if we open it, we can-"

but tengen closed the door filled with bright hope, "no, the authority to open the gate lies with kenjaku as the bearer of the front. breaking it open requires either the inverted spear of heaven, which nullifies cursed techniques. or to open it, you'll need the black rope that disrupts and cancels cursed technique effects..."

"to unseal gojo, we just need to find those, right?" haruki crossed her arms.

"...but satoru gojo sealed the inverted spear of heaven over eleven years ago... or destroyed it!"

"why'd you do that, sensei!?" itadori held his fists out at his sides.

tengen wasn't done, "and satoru gojo got rid of all of the black rope!"

"why'd that guy do that!?" fushiguro yelled in frustration.

okkotsu had a quick laugh while sweatdropping, "i actually looked for the black rope in africa with miguel."

fushiguro looked at his upperclassman, "oh, so that's why you went overseas?"
