Jujutsu Kaisen: The Traveler

Chapter 7

The world of curses is basically a series of unpredictable scenarios. But none of that can probably compare to Senjumaru's arrival in Hiroyuki's perspective.

For him, her appearance and existence are just something else that no one can probably explain to him about how this entire thing even worked.

To give context to the scenario, first of all, one has to know about Senjumaru's background first.

Originally, she was supposed to be an orphan. According to the people who had taken care of her, when she was still a baby, her parents left her in front of the church, blah blah blah, and years later, a certain uncle came and took her from the orphanage.

That man is a member of the Gojo clan so her destination is pretty obvious. Here, she was taught personally by the head maid, and after a couple of years of training, she is now here in front of Hiroyuki as his Personal Maid.

Upon hearing her explain how her entire life had been so far before she met him, Hiroyuki can only say one thing.

"It's so damn cliche that it's not even worth mulling over."

So cliche in fact that he can't help but think that whoever sent her here didn't even put an effort into giving her a pretty interesting background.

Let's not even start with the technicalities of her being adopted into the clan.

Because if one were to spend at least a couple of brain cells here, It's pretty bizarre to think that the Gojo Clan, the most uptight clan amongst the big 3, will just go around and adopt some random kid without making any fuss about it at all. To say that this is a situation forced to happen by some random power is not that far-fetched really.

Or at least, that's what Hiroyuki thought about this entire scenario.

Now going on to the next weird thing about her. It's about the knowledge she possesses.

During their conversation, when asked how much she knows about the world so far, she suddenly started spouting a series of words that even Hiroyuki started having a hard time understanding.

Saying things like Curse Energy, Curse Spirits, World Balance, Heavenly Pact, and so much more.

To say that she possesses knowledge greater than everyone here in the Gojo Clan is not even weird. What's more weird is that she's currently 8 years old and supposed to have lived a normal life, away from any supernatural stuff till now.

Obviously, Hiroyuki didn't let it pass and immediately asked her how she possessed so much knowledge about the world. Unexpectedly, she didn't try to be secretive about it or something like that.

Although her reply to Hiroyuki's question is that... She simply doesn't know how and she just did for some reason.

That is a pretty bland reason. Most people would've never believed her for it. But weirdly enough, Hiroyuki... believed her.

Well, living a life where you are surrounded by people who can easily betray you whenever you show any sign of weakness, Hiroyuki naturally developed good skills for reading people. Due to that, based on her expressions alone, he can clearly see that Senjumaru genuinely has no clue and is sometimes, even confused about how she even knows such stuff.

So that's why Hiroyuki was left with no choice but to just believe she simply existed in this world and possessed otherworldly knowledge. Anyone could surely understand now as to why Hiroyuki thought of this entire situation as "weird" at first.

But, as much as he wanted to find out what was happening and the reason for her appearance, he sadly didn't have any capability to do that. No matter how much he pursues the answers, he is always hit by a wall he can never climb on.
