Free Web NovelChapter 341: 341 Jujutsu Kaisen 6
I tried to re-enter the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. I had already used a [Replay Ticket]. But one thing bothered me.
"Uraume."
"Yes."
"You. If someone suddenly picks a fight with you on the street, what will you do?"
"I will swiftly eliminate them."
Just as I thought—this one was the problem. If I brought her to the modern timeline, she would definitely cause incidents.
"Ha... I’m about to go to another world... Right! You’ve watched Shin-chan, right?"
"Yes, I have."
"I’m going to a world that has developed similarly to that. It’s the future of the place where you used to live."
"Oh~ I see! Then can I watch even more works?"
As expected, this one was entirely fixated on anime.
"So, the thing is, you lack too much common sense, so I think you need to learn some before we go."
"What kind of common sense?"
"Well, starting from basic life skills to behaviors that could become problems."
"I see. Understood."
I needed to first teach Uraume the basic knowledge of future society. Because if I didn’t, it seemed like she would cause a major incident. Starting the leisure life again was delayed a bit because of this issue, but I thought it couldn’t be helped.
But once I started, the amount of things to teach was greater than expected. From how to use a mobile phone to basic history, politics, and the value of money. Fortunately, Uraume was very smart, so he understood quickly and learned fast.
"Oh~ so if I go to a movie theater, I can watch theatrical anime on a huge screen!"
"Well... yes."
I asked again.
"If some thuggish delinquents pick a fight with you, what will you do?"
"I will deal with them moderately and then leave the scene. Because killing would become a problem."
"Good!"
Hearing her answer like that made me feel that my hard work teaching him had paid off.
But there was another problem. Jujutsu Kaisen also had an Uraume, so there would be two Uraumes. I didn’t know how that issue would play out.
’This is the first time I’ve encountered a situation like this...’
If things went wrong, many problems could occur. Even if the Uraume I brought with me didn’t cause trouble, the Uraume who was Sukuna’s subordinate could cause a major incident at any time. So after thinking for a moment, I decided it wouldn’t work, and simply erased the character Uraume from the universe.
[Creating avatar.]
Itadori Yuji
Age: 15
Sex: Male
Traits: Possessor of an extremely kind and altruistic personality. A person whose character can already be considered perfected.
Starting point: Start of original story.
Amanai Riko
Age: 14
Sex: Female
Traits: Tengen’s star plasma vessel. Aware of her own specialness, but wants to live an ordinary daily life.
Starting point: Gojo’s Past Arc (Hidden Inventory / Premature Death).
Go directly
Setting: 17-year-old student at Jujutsu High.
Starting point: Start of original story.
I paused for a moment while checking the avatars.
’Amanai Riko, huh... No, if I go as Riko and show Toji around, that could be fun too. So then I start as a fugitive and a curse user?’
I thought for a moment, then shook my head. No matter what, it didn’t feel right to be a woman.
Anyway, I started editing the ’Go directly’ setting.
Setting: 18 years old, American-Japanese mixed race, second-generation conglomerate investor, orphan, owns a high-end residence near Tokyo, a port, and an island near the mainland with a helipad, holds all licenses except heavy machinery, owns a Palmer Johnson Kalila yacht, deletion of Uraume from the universe.
Starting point: Three years before the Gojo’s Past Arc (Hidden Inventory / Premature Death).
I decided from the start to set myself as rich. That way, even if I made a lot of money, I wouldn’t be looked at suspiciously. And I wanted to settle in a mansion on an island connected to the mainland. That way, when creating or modifying things, I would have to worry less about the eyes of those around me. Lastly, there was the license issue. In the Conan universe, there were many annoyances because of licenses, so this time I decided to resolve it in the settings from the start.
(Points: -10327)
[Proceed like this?]
"Wait, why does this cost so many points?"
I was surprised at how many points it cost to change the settings. Going to the Heian period 1000 years ago cost around 7500 points. Then Nano explained.
[I think the points are being heavily consumed by the settings ’holds all licenses except heavy machinery,’ ’owns a Palmer Johnson Kalila yacht,’ and ’deletion of Uraume from the universe.’]
"Why do you think that?"
[First, regarding ’holds all licenses except heavy machinery,’ since you set the age to 18, that is practically impossible. Second, regarding ’Palmer Johnson Kalila yacht,’ its first release year is 2014, so the timing does not match. Lastly, regarding ’deletion of Uraume from the universe,’ that seems to be due to that character’s importance.]
"I see."
In other words, the less realistic the setting, the more points it cost. So I made some revisions.
First, for licenses, I decided to only have car, motorcycle, and yacht licenses; for helicopters or private planes, I would just hire people. And for the Palmer Johnson Kalila yacht, I changed the setting to a custom order, but there was no yacht I really liked, and modifying it would be a hassle. So I thought about just continuing to use the one from Conan. For Uraume, since it couldn’t be helped, I left it as is.
(Points: -7252)
[Proceed like this?]
It had certainly decreased, but it was still the same that many points were being consumed.
"Hmm..."
[If you wish to reduce points further, I also recommend changing the residence. Owning an entire island near Tokyo, building a mansion, and living there is also unrealistic.]
"No, it’s fine. Let’s just go with this."
As soon as I decided, I was immediately moved to a large mansion on an island. The island’s location was a small island connected to the mainland, situated below the famous ’Hayamacho Najima Torii Goto Shrine.’ Originally uninhabited, as its scale grew, a private harbor surrounded by breakwaters was built on the inner beach, and the Kalila yacht was moored there. The entrance was connected to the road outside the mansion, and security guards stood in front of the large gate.
The mansion consisted of two buildings total, one of which seemed to be living quarters for the staff: maids, gardeners, security guards, helicopter pilot, driver, etc. The helipad was located behind the island, probably installed there due to noise issues. The entire island had high elevation, so even if a typhoon or tsunami came, it didn’t seem like it would be a major problem. However, it was far from Tokyo, so by car it would take about an hour and a half.
’Well, there’s no privately usable island inside Tokyo Bay, so I’ll have to be satisfied with this.’
I checked my family and assets. Total assets were 3 trillion yen, mostly invested. My parents had died in a traffic accident two years ago. There were no particular relatives. Having a lot of assets was good for a leisure life, but this time I wondered if I had set it a bit excessively. But since I had also run giant corporations in Marvel, it probably didn’t matter.
Once the check was finished, I immediately terminated contracts with the financial consulting firms that had been managing and investing my assets. Because investing through AI was far more profitable and easier to manage. And above all, I had no intention of investing in Japan at all. Investing in Japan, which would soon become a mess, would bring no benefit.
So, secretly from the staff, I created a room underground on the island, and there I installed a laptop loaded with the AI I had created in Marvel to increase assets in preparation for this situation. This room was sealed off on all sides—no one could enter without teleportation—so there was no worry of being discovered.
"Prioritize pulling out my assets invested in Japan and invest them abroad. Also create a secret account."
[Should I also dispose of all the real estate in Japan?]
"Except for this mansion and the building in Tokyo’s Koto Ward, you can sell everything."
The building in Tokyo had a helipad, so considering travel, I decided to keep it.
[Understood, Master.]
But it took more time than expected. Just liquidating the assets invested in Japan took nearly half a year. Having too much wealth came with its own problems.
Investments went relatively smoothly, because the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, like Marvel, was a universe built on a modern basis, and major events happened similarly, so if I put my mind to it, I could become the world’s richest man just like in Marvel. But I had to control the speed. I didn’t want to arouse unnecessary suspicion.
After finishing the rough liquidation, I summoned Uraume into this world.
"Oh~ we’ve finally arrived. Is this the castle we’ll be living in?"
"It’s not a castle, it’s a mansion. And my name is Hisakawa Jin, and your name is Hisakawa Uraume. I’ve set up your identity as my younger sibling who was living abroad, so be aware of that."
"I see. I will remember."
I called the butler and the staff and introduced Uraume. Because I had given her a bit more education in advance, Uraume didn’t act arrogantly and greeted the staff.
"First, let’s go out to buy various necessities for living."
"Then I’d also like to go to a place called a movie theater. I’m curious what it would feel like to watch anime on a big screen."
First thing upon arrival, this one was back on about anime.
"Well, why not? It wouldn’t be bad to go to a theater and show you the city as well."
When I agreed, Uraume was overjoyed. We took a helicopter to Tokyo. Uraume didn’t particularly like the sound of the helicopter. That was understandable, since she had always ridden in the nearly silent Talaria campervan, and now riding a loud helicopter probably caused that. But it couldn’t be helped. I couldn’t ride the Talaria around here.
Anyway, we arrived in Tokyo, took a limousine, bought clothes, shoes, daily necessities, a mobile phone, etc. for Uraume, toured the city a bit, then headed to the theater district. As expected of Japan, theatrical anime films were showing. Uraume said he wanted to watch ’Crayon Shin-chan: The Glorious Roast Beef Road,’ so I bought tickets, got popcorn and cola, and watched the movie.
"Oh~ Ah! Meat! Oh..."
"Watch quietly, primitive."
"Yes..."
I understood that she was doing this because it was his first time at a theater, but she was a bit excessive.
"It was fun. The immersion is different from watching on TV. I hope we can come often."
After finishing the viewing and leaving the theater, Uraume looked quite satisfied and wanted to come again.
"Then adapt diligently so you can go out alone. Only then will you be able to watch movies by yourself."
"I see. Understood."
We returned to the mansion. Since I couldn’t stay with Uraume all the time, I assigned one kind and friendly female staff member to Uraume. I told her that she had lived abroad for a long time and didn’t know Japanese culture well, so to teach her. I also gave her enough allowance, so I trusted that she would manage.
I continued investing, and also purchased a wide plot of land on Hayama Mountain and began constructing a very gorgeous and magnificent building. This was a religious building, but unlike other creepy cult buildings, I started building it with modern beauty. Of course, I had also obtained government permission.
This became a major topic in Japanese society. I heard everything from "He has so much money he’s just messing around" to mockery like "Does he want to become a god or something." Rumors spread that I was an eccentric. But this was intentional. Because I wanted to create a religion that felt pressure-free.
The name of the religion I created was Taijin-kyo. I didn’t force anyone to join, and if they didn’t like it, they could leave anytime. Donations? There were none at all. It was a simple religion where you just worshipped Hisakawa Jin as a god and occasionally came to travel gatherings.
Promotion was done through TV and SNS in a fun and cheerful way.
[Taijin-kyo is always ready to be your perfect excuse! To those who annoyingly urge you to join their religion, proudly say: "I am a Taijin-kyo believer!" Annoying company dinner with a boss you hate? Friends forcing you to a gathering? Just say "I can’t go today because there’s a mass!" and you’re done! And if you’re bored and want to travel, Taijin-kyo is with you.]
The results were explosive. SNS was flooded with membership applications, and especially young people were enthusiastic. A religion with no donations required, no being dragged around, where you could have fun. People who needed excuses, people who wanted new experiences—all flocked to Taijin-kyo.
A few months later, the first gathering of Taijin-kyo was scheduled for a weekend, with an overnight two-day itinerary. The location was Hayama Mountain, where the religious building was under construction. The building was still under construction, but there was a wide area that could be used as a parking lot, and it seemed could accommodate many people.
Using my [Matter Copy] ability, I set up large, luxurious tents and portable toilets so that there would be no inconvenience. I also called in several food trucks to prepare abundant meals, and I set up a performance stage and invited popular idol singers to put on shows. At night, I also prepared fireworks.
Of course, I also paid attention to safety. I placed many guides and safety personnel to prepare for accidents, and because it was a mountain, in case people were troubled by insects, I set up a barrier to block insects from entering.
On the day of the event, numerous believers began coming up the mountain. I was a bit surprised that more people came than expected, but thanks to having prepared extra tents in advance, there were no major problems.
"Hello everyone. I am Hisakawa Jin, the god of Taijin-kyo. I won’t give a long speech like a school principal. How much stress have you been under, living hard lives? Today, I hope you forget all the bad things, eat delicious food, and have a fun time."
Wahhh~
"Hisakawa Jin, I love you~"
"So handsome!"
"Thank you, Hisakawa Jin!"
Thus, the first gathering of Taijin-kyo proceeded successfully. I carved up whole pig barbecue, handed it out to the believers, and greeted them. For believers who had cursed spirits attached to them, I directly exorcised the spirits. True to the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, there were quite a few cursed spirits. The believers watched the idol performances, played enthusiastically, and went home the next day. Fortunately, it ended well without any major accidents.
The next day, news about the Taijin-kyo gathering was reported, showing the believers happily eating the prepared food and enjoying themselves, receiving positive evaluations. Thanks to that, it became an opportunity for the number of believers to increase even more, and as intended, divine power also began flowing in. It was still not a large amount, but I felt it would gradually increase.
Then one day, people in suits visited our mansion. They introduced themselves as coming from the Japanese Sorcerer Association.
