High School DxD: Jujutsu Chronicles || Gojo Satoru

Chapter 5: Convergence of Realities

Geto's POV:

Satoru has officially become the strongest.

"Suguru, have you lost weight?" Gojo says with a slight concern.

I find myself handling most of the missions alone now, especially after Shoko stopped going out on dangerous missions. Consequently, I spend a lot more time alone these days.

"The hot weather made me a little tired. I'm fine," I reassure him, trying to maintain a sense of normalcy.

...

The past summer had been exceptionally busy. Perhaps it was due to the frequent disasters of the previous years. Curse spirits had surged like maggots, and my days were filled with the relentless task of exorcising and absorbing them.

No one truly knows the taste of curse spirits. It's akin to swallowing a cloth that's been used to wipe away vomit.

Each day seemed to bring a heavier sense of depression until I received a mission from the higher-ups. It was a rare opportunity to work alongside Gojo, and I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of excitement.

However, a strange event occured.

...

I found myself standing in the middle of a desolate alley, my surroundings completely unfamiliar. The air felt different, and the very essence of this place seemed different to me.

"What... where am I?" I muttered to myself, a sense of confusion and disorientation washing over me.

It had been mere minutes ago when I had been fighting alongside Gojo against the special grade curse spirit. One moment, I was using my curse manipulation technique to control the cursed spirits, and the next, I noticed Gojo's disappearance. Following Gojo's trail, I stumbled upon a rift in reality that seemed to have swallowed him whole. Without hesitation, I entered the rift to find Gojo, and it had led me to this unknown abyss.

I couldn't explain how or why this had happened. But this... this was something beyond my comprehension.

I took a deep breath and looked around, realizing that I was no longer in my familiar surroundings. The buildings, the atmosphere, everything felt different, and the curse energy in the air was subtly distinct. It was as if I had entered an entirely new universe.

The sun was setting as I stepped into this unfamiliar universe. Emerging from the dimly lit alley, i strolled around the city that stood both similar and distinct from our own.

Asking the locals they spoke of Kuoh City and Kuoh Academy, names that didn't exist in our universe. It was evident that I had travel into a different universe, and I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "So i really am, in a different universe huh."

As I strolled around streets of Kuoh City, I couldn't ignore the curious glances and comments regarding my appearance. like "He's quite handsome, but what's with the hair?" A nerve showed on my forehead showcasing my annoyance. My slender frame, long black hair tied partially at the back, small black eyes, and bangs occasionally concealing my left eye seemed to stand out in this setting.

I couldn't really blame them, but it's just my preference.

During my exploration, I came across a café with a rather odd name, "The Enchanted Sakura Tea House." The bustling crowd outside made it clear that it was a popular spot. Opting for a quieter café nearby, I sipped a latte and mulled over my mission: finding Gojo. I figured if he ended up in this universe, he'd have sorted out a place to stay by now.

Hours passed in contemplation, and I finally left the café. I couldn't help but wonder about the strange buzz surrounding the Enchanted Sakura Tea House, especially the large number of female customers.
