Chapter 312: Gojo Satoru Prepares to Dive into the Battlefield
"Soon, Gojo-sensei will have a decisive battle against Sukuna. So, tell me what's your purpose in calling me through Yuta." Maki didn't like beating around the bush and wanted to get straight to the point.
Eiji looked at Maki seriously.
"During the battle between the Strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of the modern era and the Strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of all time, I will take advantage of that moment to behead Kenjaku. That's why I want you to bring Nino to your headquarters as a form of protection."
"What?!" Nino, who was sitting next to Eiji, immediately glared angrily, her voice rising.
"Eiji, I didn't know about this!"
Eiji turned to Nino with a regretful face, but his tone was firm.
"Listen to me, Nino. I'm not bringing you this time."
Nino's eyes widened, clearly not satisfied with that answer.
"Why not? Do you think I'll just be a burden?"
Although it was true, Eiji wouldn't say the truth. He tried to calm his girlfriend.
"No, Nino. It's not like that. This is too dangerous, and I can't concentrate if I have to worry about your safety. I need you to be in a safe place."
Although her heart was still heavy, Nino finally nodded. She wasn't an unreasonable woman.
"Alright. But you have to promise to come back safely."
With a slight smile, Eiji looked at her with confidence.
"I promise. Kenjaku doesn't have the ability to hurt me. He's just a loser who has been defeated by two Six Eyes bearers in the past."
Kenjaku wasn't weak. At least, he was a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer. It could be seen from Tsukumo Yuki's defeat at his hands.
But for Eiji, that was it.
In front of him and his cousin, Kenjaku didn't dare to appear directly and always used cunning schemes and plans to face them both. That was enough to tell a lot.
"I thought it was a big deal. But no problem, I agree to bring your girlfriend and protect her." Maki immediately agreed without much thought.
"But Kamiki-kun, if Gojo-sensei loses, then all the battles will descend to the battlefield. At that time, no one will protect Nakano-san." Yuta reminded Eiji, who didn't know their plans.
Although everyone believed that the battle would be won by Gojo Satoru, they had anticipated the worst-case scenario.
Better safe than sorry.
If Gojo Satoru's defeat, the other Jujutsu Sorcerers would immediately fight Sukuna. Starting from Kashimo Hajime, Higuruma Hiromi, Kasukabe Atsuya, Choso, and the others.
Yuta and Maki themselves participated in the battle.
"About that, you don't need to worry, Yuta. Even if Gojo-sensei loses, I won't. I'd win."
Eiji's confident tone made the room fall silent for a moment.
Yuta and Maki looked at each other, both having the same thought. Kamiki Eiji's nature, personality, and even confidence were very similar to Gojo Satoru.
Finally, Maki stood up, shrugging.
"Alright, then. We'll take Nino to headquarters. But Eiji, make sure you kill Kenjaku. Even if Sukuna loses, as long as Kenjaku escapes, he can repeat the same thing in the future."
"I understand." Eiji replied.
Yuta and Maki then prepared to leave.
Maki looked at Nino and smiled slightly. "Come on, Nino. We have to go now."
Nino hugged Eiji tightly before leaving with them.
"Remember your promise." She whispered sadly.
Then Eiji returned her hug gently.
"I'll be back. Trust me."
After Yuta, Maki, and Nino left, Eiji sat alone on the sofa.
Taking the phone that Yuta had given him earlier, Eiji opened the live broadcast site of the upcoming Gojo Satoru vs. Ryomen Sukuna battle. Of course, the battle hadn't started yet, the screen showed a deserted and silent Shinjuku with no one in sight.
"Mei Mei-san is really good at taking advantage of opportunities to make money. She uses Black Bird Manipulation to do online betting."
Among the people he knew, Mei Mei was the one who was greedy for money. Even she was reluctant to work without payment.
In the Shinjuku arc, Mei Mei only assigned her younger brother, Ui Ui, to collect the corpses of the Jujutsu Sorcerers who fell in the battle against Sukuna.
"If I'm not mistaken, Mei Mei-san gets a fixed income of five billion by selling pay-per-view broadcasts even without betting. That amount of money is more than the pay for exterminating dozens of Special Grade Cursed Spirits."
Don't lie, Eiji wasn't envious. He was very poor right now. All his money and assets were transferred to his cousin after he was confirmed dead. In other words, he was homeless now!
Even so, he knew that once he revealed that he was still alive, all his wealth would return.
"Alright, I have to prepare too."
After saying that, Eiji stood up and his figure disappeared in an instant.

On the other side.
Wearing a tight black shirt, a white jacket, a scarf around his neck, loose brown pants with a black belt wrapped around his waist, and black martial arts sandals, Gojo Satoru was about to head to the battlefield, behind him were Utahime and Gakuganji Principal.
He saw his students gathered, Yuji, Yuta, Maki, Panda, Hakari, Toge, Kirara… And an unknown girl?
"Yo, Yuta, Maki! I thought you wouldn't see me off. Um… Who is she?"
Satoru focused on the unknown girl beside Maki. He didn't feel any Cursed Energy in her body, she was a Non-Sorcerer.
"She's my friend, Nakano Nino. She accidentally got caught in the Culling Game. So I brought her here for safety." Maki made up a random excuse.
'Woah, so this person is Eiji's cousin, Gojo Satoru? He's so handsome! Will Eiji be like this when he grows up? I'm looking forward to it.'
Seeing Satoru in front of her, Nino was awestruck.
"So it is. What a disappointment, I thought that girl was Yuta's new girlfriend."
"Gojo-sensei, don't make fun of me. I already have Rika-chan."
"Come on, it's impossible for you to stay single forever, right?"
Yuta was his distant cousin. Satoru didn't want to see him stay single for the rest of his life.
"Sensei! Your Cursed Technique is blocking me."
Yuji was blocked by Infinity so he couldn't touch Gojo-sensei.
"!!!"
"HAHA… Do whatever you like!"
Satoru's serious expression disappeared and was replaced by a brilliant smile.
After he deactivated Infinity, Yuji patted his shoulder hard and enthusiastically.
His students cheered him on to dive into the most important battle of his life.
