Following the Gojo family's servant into the main hall, Toji immediately noticed that some guests had arrived before them.
On one side of the hall, a girl with brown hair tied into a bun sat alohere was no one around her, making her look somewhat isoted.
However, she seemed pletely indifferent to the situation. Instead of paying attention to the people around her, she calmly ehe snacks id out oable.
Across from her, a young man also sat alone, occasionally exging gnces with the brown-haired girl. Then, as if they had e to some unspoken agreement, both of them began tasting the snacks at the same time.
What a strange duo.
Zenin Ogi, who had just ehe hall, g them but quickly lost i. Instead, he focused on finding his acquaintances within the Gojo , eager to gather information about the Six Eyes.
Meanwhile, Toji, Jinichi and Shinsuke were guided to their respective seats.
The main hall acked, making it feel more like a grand gathering of jujutsu families rather than an official meeting.
However, among the many families present, the Gojo and Zenin s were the most promi. To an outsider, this would seem less like a general assembly and more like a formal discussioweewo dominant sorcerer families.
The waiting was tedious. After sitting still for only five mioji was already bored.
Getting permission from a nearby servant, he stepped outside to get some fresh air.
"I have a question. Who are the young man and the girl sitting across from us? They seem like sorcerers too."
Toji casually inquired about the unfamiliar faces in the hall.
As a member of the Zenin , he was treated with a certain level of respect within the Gojo estate. And sihis information wasn't fidential, the servant answered without hesitation.
"Today, Master Ieiri Inamichi came to the mansion to perform a Reverse Cursed Teique treatment for the head of the family. The girl you saw is his daughter, Ieiri Shoko."
"The young man beside her is a distaive of the Gojo family, Okkotsu Yuto-sama. I heard he's currently traveling around Japan to broaden his knowledge. He came today to visit Young Master Satoru and Young Master Satoshi."
Hearing the respooji aking note of the names.
"Ieiri and Okkotsu?"
He had heard of the Ieiri family before, they were known for their expertise in Reverse Cursed Teique.
But the Okkotsu family? That name was pletely unfamiliar to him.
Since when did the Gojo have distaives?
After briefly p the question, Toji dismissed it from his mind.
After all, sorcerer society had nothing to do with him. If it weren't for his older brother dragging him here, he wouldn't have attehis gathering at all.
With that thought, Toji wandered away from the main hall, walking at a leisurely pace.
Snowfkes drifted dowling onto his dark hair, but he paid no attention to them. His entire demeanor was rexed, almost zy.
The cigarette between his lips had accumuted a long trail of ash, yet he made no effort to flick it away.
"Hm?"
Just as Toji was about to turn back, he noticed three figures walking along another path.
A tall, middle-aged man held an umbrel, sheltering two identical white-haired childreh it.
So, these must be the Gojo 's twin Six Eyes users. Seeing them in person for the first time… they really are just kids.
Toji studied the backs of Satoru and Satoshi, then casually raised his cigarette to his lips, taking a long drag before exhaling a slow sm.
But in the moment, the two childreh the umbrel simultaneously turheir heads, log their gaze onto him.
Two pairs of striking azure eyes bore into him, filled with an uling ess.
For the first time in a long while, Toji felt a twinge of unease.
Is this the so-called Sacred Eyes? Even though I was standing behind them, they still sensed me instantly.
The Gojo 's Six Eyes are not to be uimated.

Oher side, Satoru and Satoshi had spotted the man in the distaheir expressions subtly shifting.
"Young Master Satoru, Young Master Satoshi, is something wrong?"
Shunichi, standing beside them, noticed their abrupt pause and asked in fusion.
Following their line of sight, he looked into the dista saw nothing unusual.
"That man… made me feel a little threatened."
Satoru frowned slightly.
He was certain of what he had sensed, no cursed energy at all. Yet, somehow, he still felt threatened.
Ever since mastering the Limitless teique, Satoru had rarely experiehis kind of uneasy premonition.
That man wasn't from the Gojo . Judging by the emblem on his kimono, he beloo the Zenin family.
Was there really someohat strong within the Zenin ?
The thought puzzled Satoru.
Beside him, Satoshi, holding Sode no Shirayuki, shook his head with a wry smile.
He hadn't expected to personally participate in the legendary first enter between Satoru and Toji.
That brief moment when Satoru aiced him, Toji would surely remember it forever.
The Six Eyes' perception was just too overpowered. In battle, it was an absurd advantage.
"Don't dwell on it, Satoru. Maybe that guy will be our friend iure. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of him."
Satoshi chuckled lightly.
Zenin Toji—the Sorcerer Killer—was destio be one of Satoru's greatest adversaries.
Some fans even joked about the fact that Amanai Riko, one of Satoru's potential love is, had been killed by Toji.
They even quipped that Toji was Gojo's "wife killer."
Of course, these were just faions. Yet, it was undeniable that Toji had pyed a signifit role in shaping Satoru's life.
In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Satoru's future transformatioo Suguru's eventual dest, and the tragic split between them had all been triggered by the Star Psma Vessel Assassination Mission carried out by Toji.
"Really? Sounds like you've taken an i in him, Satoshi."
Satoru's curiosity iqued.
"Since he's from the Zenin , he should be at this gathering too. If we get the ce, let's go meet him."
Thanks to Satoshi's casual remark, Satoru's initial apprehension vanished.
However, her of them realized that they were about to faething far worse.
A tedious family gathering.
