“Wait, wait, wait! What the hell actually happened last night?!”
Kaito looked at the nearest dead old man.
The man’s eyes were wide open, his face stuck between terror and total confusion.
He wore fancy traditional pajamas, and his skin was wrinkled like a…
Rotten orange?!
Kaito remembered!
He remembered everything!
Last night, he and Gojo left the secret warded room to look for more booze.
But Jujutsu High had no convenience stores.
The campus vending machines didn’t sell alcohol, and the school was so far in the mountains that there was nowhere close to buy any.
And Gojo’s alcohol tolerance was astronomically terrible.
Between the man and the blob, they only had three cans of beer each, but Gojo still got so drunk that he lost all control over his cursed energy.
…Kaito vaguely recalled the official fanbook mentioning something about this.
His Infinity defense was still working automatically, but any move that needed real precision was impossible.
So using Blue to teleport into the city for more booze was not an option.
But in his drunken stupor, Gojo had a stroke of genius: “Shoko can drink like a fish! She probably has a stash in her room!”
So, Gojo stood lookout while Kaito slipped in to raid the stash.
Kaito looked through a bunch of rare and expensive foreign liquors.
He ended up grabbing a few flat metal flasks, like the kind you see in movies.
They looked pretty cheap, so he figured Shoko wouldn’t be too upset later.
With that comforting thought, Kaito hauled out several metal flasks.
By the time he snapped back to reality, they were already chugging…
It was vodka!!
Well, that escalated quickly…
Now Kaito was genuinely hammered.
Let alone Gojo—not only did he not pass out, but his drunken antics just got exponentially worse.
The man and the blob raced across the school’s training field under the moonlight.
In his drunken excitement, Kaito summoned Lower Half of Gojo to join the celebration.
Of course, the untamed Lower Half of Gojo not only lacked the necessary organs to consume alcohol, but it also lacked the fundamental concept of ‘Drinking’ entirely!
It punted Kaito straight across the field!
And then it was immediately pulverized by Gojo, who had forgotten all about cursed energy manipulation and just beat the crap out of it with pure stats. This story is hosted at g.com.
Of course, the two drunk idiots weren’t about to let that go.
‘You dare interrupt our brotherly drinking session?!
We’ll teach you all about intestinal absorption efficiency!’
The more Kaito thought about it, the angrier he became.
He quickly grew three tentacles: two made hand signs, and one pointed the way.
He turned to Gojo.
“Watch closely, this slash is going to look sick!”
“[Dragon Scales], [Recoil], [Twin Meteors]!”
The second the incantation finished, Kaito resummoned Lower Half of Gojo for a one-on-one subjugation ritual.
The newly spawned Lower Half of Gojo was instantly cleaved straight down the middle!
The durability-negating mechanics of the World-Cutting Slash were just way too broken, understand?
Having suffered such a catastrophic injury, Lower Half of Gojo was successfully subjugated.
As for the alcohol absorption…
yeah…
Kaito decided to skip that part of the memory.
Anyway, the tamed Lower Half of Gojo officially joined their wild partying squad.
Three drunks under the moon.
As the saying goes, ‘Where there are three men, one must be the idea guy.’
The trio—one man, one blob, and one half—barely fit the criteria.
Kaito remembered his earlier theory about piloting the Lower Half of Gojo mecha.
Being bold—and incredibly drunk—they decided to test it out.
And it actually worked!
Kaito embedded himself into a semicircular groove he carved into Lower Half of Gojo’s waist.
The manipulation precision far exceeded simply issuing commands to a Shikigami.
It was no different from controlling his own body!
That’s when things took a turn.
Piloting the Lower Half of Gojo mecha, Kaito challenged Gojo to a sparring match.
“Satoru Gojo, you are the challenger today!”
Then, the lower half of the Gojo mecha was blown to pieces by a Black Flash that Gojo accidentally landed.
But here was the thing.
For a short time after landing a Black Flash, using cursed energy feels as easy as breathing.
In other words, Gojo’s precise control of the Limitless was back.
A blackout drunk Gojo + a Black Flash resetting his Limitless + Kaito, the ‘idea guy’ = ?
It meant their drunken rampage expanded from the Tokyo Jujutsu High campus to the entirety of Tokyo.
And even Kyoto, the city where the three great sorcerer families resided.
And finally…
Kaito hesitantly poked the dead old men scattered around him.
Sure enough, there were no survivors.
These must be the ‘rotten oranges’—the corrupt Jujutsu higher-ups that Gojo had planned to massacre anyway.
Looking at their frozen expressions, some were utterly bewildered, while others looked like they had been screaming in rage.
Even in death, they probably had no idea why a blackout drunk Satoru Gojo had kicked their doors down in the middle of the night.
Some of them probably died still hoping they could wake Gojo up from his stupor.
Kaito scratched his head with a tentacle.
He didn’t feel panicked or worried.
Gojo was the one taking all the blame.
What could the higher-ups really do to a Suku-Blob?
“Hey, hey, wake up. It’s time to get out of bed and save the world.”
The automatic mode of Infinity blocked Kaito’s poking tentacle.
He obviously couldn’t use a World-Cutting Slash or a Domain Expansion just to act as an alarm clock.
Oh!
He could use Domain Amplification!
He initially considered the Lower Half of Gojo, but it had been shattered into numerous pieces by Gojo’s Black Flash.
He had been so drunk last night that he couldn’t explore the mechanics, but now he had inadvertently discovered a deeper principle of the Ten Frauds Technique.
The rule of the Ten Shadows stated that once a tamed Shikigami died, it could not be summoned again, but its power could be passed on to other Shikigami.
The Ten Frauds operated differently.
Once a Shikigami died, its power couldn’t be transferred.
However, the status of [Subjugation Successful] was permanent.
All he had to do was absorb the corresponding cursed energy again, and he could resummon the exact same Shikigami.
Little Bro Lower Half hadn’t been permanently removed from the story.
This was fantastic news for Kaito.
