Because Eichi's actions were too swift, when Jujutsu Headquarters began reaching for the Tokyo Branch, they found that all the important positions had already been filled.
The new faction led by Artoria had already completed the reorganization of the Tokyo Branch.
This greatly angered the old geezers of Jujutsu Headquarters, who directly pressured the Tokyo Branch, accusing it of dismissing and appointing personnel without reporting to Jujutsu Headquarters.
They accused the Tokyo Branch of forming a clique and undermining unity...
However, Artoria fended off all these petty tricks with various official statements.
Artoria had governed a country before and possessed strong leadership skills.
Furthermore, she and Eichi had started working with the Tokyo Branch several years ago, so they understood its operations.
This allowed them to complete the formation of the new Tokyo Branch in just a few days during the Tokyo Branch's interim period and forge this new team into an impenetrable force.
Do you dare harbor ill intentions?
Do you really think there are no royal fans in the Tokyo Branch?
This made the old geezers, who had finally agreed on how to divide the Tokyo Branch after a period of bickering, so furious that their beards twisted.
Previously, when there was a shortage of staff, they were afraid to come because they feared the Tokyo Branch would be attacked by Tomie again.
Now that everything was over, they immediately jumped out to claim the spoils.
One could only say they had a beautiful dream. They should keep dreaming.
Seeing that Artoria was completely unwilling to concede more positions, Jujutsu Headquarters began to make accusations and exert pressure.
They pressured Artoria, pointing out that even with her as the interim commander of the Tokyo Branch, incidents like Tomie's attack on Tokyo Jujutsu High still occurred.
Upon seeing this, Eichi exclaimed, "Alright, alright, so this is how we're playing, huh? Then let's all go down together."
Then Eichi directly tore off the roof.
What was Tokyo Jujutsu High's greatest defensive measure?
It was the barrier.
Who set up Tokyo Jujutsu High's barrier?
It was Tengen.
You want to make an issue of Tokyo Jujutsu High being invaded, right? Then I'll drag Tengen down too. Her barrier didn't serve its purpose, so shouldn't she also be punished?
The next day, Jujutsu Headquarters received a message from Tengen.
Upholding her personality as a thousand-year-old shut-in, Tengen's message to Jujutsu Headquarters was very brief.
It could basically be summarized with a question mark.
Then the old geezers of Jujutsu Headquarters felt completely numb.
You say, if you had just honestly given up a few positions, everyone could have prospered in harmony, and it was not like I would not have left you a drop of soup.
Was this matter really worth bringing to the attention of that old ancestor?
Although Tengen did not hold a position in the Jujutsu World, no one dared to disrespect her.
The barrier covering all of Japan was right there.
That was the foundation of their prosperity and stable status.
Once the barrier had problems, Japan would become like other foreign countries, where Jujutsu phenomena were rare, and Cursed Spirits and Jujutsu Sorcerers were extremely scarce.
What would they use to collect protection fees from those politicians and businessmen then?
What would they use to become superior beings with extraordinary power then?
In the end, this matter could only be downplayed and resolved.
Jujutsu Headquarters could only contend for the positions Eichi had deliberately left open...
Shoko had been quite speechless recently, the reason being that her obviously abnormal classmate insisted on dragging her out to play.
As a treasure of the Jujutsu World, Shoko's outings had always been strictly restricted.
Having grown accustomed to this, Shoko gradually stopped caring about going out to play.
It was like inviting someone with an average income, who went home every day after work to scroll on their phone and play on their computer, to travel.
Many of them were unwilling to go out and play.
Is the phone no longer appealing, or are games no longer fun? Has the young lady not streamed today, or is the online world no longer exciting?
Go traveling?
After paying rent, utilities, food, phone bills, and internet fees from my monthly salary of just over three thousand, then occasionally rewarding myself when I'm tired, and topping up monthly passes for games to spend money on my favorite characters.
How much money do I have left to travel with you?
Moreover, we do not have a system where we can accumulate vacation days and apply for them independently. Why go out during holidays to be squeezed by crowds, just to look at heads?
Although there were some differences, Shoko had actually grown accustomed to a homebody lifestyle.
Others lacked money and time. She lacked strength and time.
So, after receiving a few days of vacation due to being attacked by Tomie, Shoko immediately slumped in her room like Ge You, enjoying the rare time when she did not have to bury pressure in her heart.
Bang!
"Sho-ko! Let's play!"
Watching Satoru, who had suddenly burst into the female staff dormitory without even knocking, Shoko's eyelid twitched involuntarily.
"I refuse."
Still slumped on the sofa, Shoko shook the beer bottle in her hand and refused outright.
"You'll waste away if you're always so listless. Yosh, let me help you cheer up."
With that, Satoru instantly appeared in front of Shoko.
"Wait, what are you doing?"
To Shoko's shock, Satoru grabbed her by the back of her collar and flew out of the dormitory.
That day, Shoko, who experienced skydiving and deep-sea diving, felt her heart almost leap out of her body several times.
The next day, Satoru visited again.
On the third day, a note appeared on Shoko's door: "Satoru not allowed in."
Satoru stroked his chin and looked at it for a few seconds, then pushed the door open.
"Is your Six Eyes broken? Doesn't it say 'Satoru not allowed in' on the door?"
Shoko looked at Satoru speechlessly.
"Ah, that was about me, huh?"
Satoru's face was full of innocence.
"I thought it was someone with the same name as me who had offended you. I have a relative named Gojo Ryu. See, it's only one character different, isn't it?"
On this day, Shoko and Satoru ascended Mount Fuji.
The two visited the shrine on Mount Fuji, and Satoru generously paid a stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi, asking the shrine priest to arrange for Shoko to change into a miko outfit and experience miko life for an afternoon.
The shrine priest stated, "Ieiri-san is naturally suited for the miko profession. I merely acted out of admiration for her talent."
A few more days passed like this, and the notes on Shoko's door and windows had changed to: "The Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer born in 1989, currently working as a teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High, the indeed somewhat handsome Gojo Family Head, Satoru, is not permitted to enter Shoko's room in the Tokyo Jujutsu High female staff dormitory through doors, windows, or any other access points. He is prohibited from using Jujutsu outside the room to take Shoko out, prohibited from..."
A few days later, Shoko, back at work, encountered Artoria.
"How have you been resting lately?"
Artoria asked, looking at Shoko's faded dark circles.
"Well... it's been alright, I guess. It would be even better if that Satoru guy didn't inexplicably go crazy."
The experiences of the past few days were indeed very novel for Shoko, and coupled with playing very hard every day, Shoko would go straight to sleep upon returning home, so her dark circles had indeed faded quite a bit.
"Oh, that. It's probably because Principal Yaga said a few nights ago, 'Doctor Ieiri has a rare few days off. Everyone try not to disturb her and let her enjoy her precious holiday.'"
Artoria recalled for a moment before saying.
"Didn't he hear 'do not disturb me'?"
Shoko's mouth twitched.
"He probably only heard 'let her enjoy her precious holiday.'"
"It was indeed quite precious."
Shoko's tone was helpless, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved.
