"That's not the only thing, is it?"

She asked with a knowing smile on her face. Gojo looked at her as he finished his tea. He was sure she already had formed a lot of possibilities, she just proved she was smart but none of them would be about Jujutsu or her CT. He pondered whether he should tell her about it or not. After reaching a conclusion, he parted his lips and spoke.

"Would you really believe anything I say? You're already suspicious of me anyway."

Gojo asked with a slight mocking tone. Things about jujutsu were meant to be a secret from public and he could understand the reason behind that. If people knew about jujutsu society or simply that there are things sticking around them which they can't see or defend themselves without proper control of curse energy, people would go berserk with fear. This fear would be enough to create a special grade curse. But Kimura Akane would be different case.

Her brain had already started utilising curse energy into creating a curse technique, though the process is kind of slow and the fully engraved technique would take time to manifest. Her brain too has developed enough to withstood intense curse energy radiation. All of this made Kimura special already, not to mention she's smart. Telling her half truth would be far better than telling lies if he wanted her as an ally in upcoming future.

"That depends on what you say Gojo-san. If it's something about me then I've the right to know that, don't I?"

Kimura spoke as she took a sip of her tea. Small smile never leaving her face as she spoke, eyes looking at him with hope that he will speak up the truth. But Gojo realised this, this expression on her face was a trap. A sweet honey trap that will make him speak up the truth.

"Ever got tired of being manipulative? It looks exhausting how hard you're trying to pull the info up."

He blurted out making her eyes widened for a moment. He already figured she was being manipulative with him. She laughed a little when she realised that, just as she expected he was fun to talk to.

"I'm not sorry about that though, I still wanna know what exactly you want from me."

"Then I got some crazy stuff to tell ya!"

Gojo said enthusiastically as he leaned towards her, a cheeky grin on his face as he wiggled his fingers infront of her face. To his disappointment Kimura didn't react much but stared at him, waiting patiently for him to speak.

"Fine~ In Japan, the average number of unexplained deaths and missing person exceeds 10,000 annually. The majority of people had symptoms of any disease which could be cured but even with the treatment their condition didn't get to normal, if anything it got worst! Just like you!"

He said and pointed his finger at her as shock embraced her face. He smirked when he finally got some funny reaction from her.

'So there are other people like me..'

Kimura thought as she listened to him. If her condition had worsened in the future then perhaps...

"The modern doctors all say it psychological because they don't know the exact cause of it, saying everyone's brain different and all. But our religious school doesn't think so."

"So, you cured me with your religious knowledge?"

"Yeah, our scriptures have more knowledge than modern world but the society would never accept it. For them modern means newly discovered knowledge so us religious schools work in secrecy to avoid any conflicts."

"Gojo-san, that still doesn't answer my question."

"So impatient! I'm getting there you know."

He said with a grumpy pout on his face. He decided to tell kimura 'some' stuff but he gotta make it believable cuz even a single nonsense would decide her trust on him, and he wanted full of her trust in the future.
