Wandering

The next day.

"Your fever has really gone down."

Touching Eiji's forehead, Siesta was surprised to find his body temperature no longer hot as it was the day before.

"I told you, I have a strong body." Eiji said casually.

The Heavenly Restriction granted him a superhuman physique in all aspects, including recovery from illness.

"Could it be that Eiji used healing magic?"

Pulling her hand back, Siesta began to feed him even though he had recovered from the fever. After all, his body was still covered in wounds.

"No, I can't use magic. My body isn't compatible with it."

Opening his mouth, Eiji let her feed him.

He had tried to learn magic in the world of Hametsu no Ōkoku. Unfortunately, Cursed Energy and magical energy could not coexist.

"I see."

Feeling she had touched on a sensitive topic, Siesta stopped asking and changed the subject.

Their conversation centered around her job.

Eiji was a good listener, occasionally responding with short phrases like 'I see,' 'Um,' and 'Oh.'

"Since you no longer have a fever, you don't need to eat porridge anymore. For lunch, do you have any food requests? My relationship with the kitchen chef is good, he doesn't mind if I take food from the kitchen."

After finishing wiping Eiji's body with a wet towel, Siesta asked before heading to work.

"Bring me some fruit and any kind of meat dish. As long as it's not pork, I don't mind eating any other meat."

Since the other party offered a choice, Eiji immediately expressed his wishes.

"Are you allergic to pork?" Siesta asked curiously.

"Let's just say that." Eiji nodded slightly.

The real reason was that he had no allergies to any food.

It was just that his Six Eyes were too good, allowing him to receive much more information than ordinary people through his vision.

When he first saw pork, he was shocked to find so many parasites in the form of worms inside the meat.

The parasites were so small they couldn't be seen with the naked eye. If not for the Six Eyes, Eiji wouldn't have seen such a disgusting sight.

Since then, he refused to consume pork for the rest of his life!

In fact, his cousin was the same, and they established a rule at the Gojo Family Residence to ban the consumption of pork.

"Alright, I understand. In that case, I'll bring delicious beef dishes. I'm off, Eiji."

"Um."

Eiji watched Siesta carry the basin and leave the room.

"Now, how should I spend my time?"

Lying on the bed that wasn't as comfortable as the expensive bed in his room, Eiji stared at the ceiling in boredom.

No longer having a fever, he wasn't sleepy at all.

"If only I had a phone..."

Looking at his right hand, which was now a stump, Eiji regretted losing his Storage Ring filled with supplies he had prepared for exploring another world.

As a millennial, he was addicted to spending his time playing on his phone. Without it, he felt empty.

"I should have asked Siesta to bring some books to pass the time... No, forget it. Even though I can communicate in this world's language, reading its characters is another story."

Due to the limited time he had in this world, caused by his clash with the knights of the Kingdom of Tristain, Eiji hadn't had time to learn the characters.

"Let's go for a walk. My body has no magical energy, even the teachers here won't detect my presence if I hide and don't stand right in front of them."

Just lying around doing nothing was unbearable for Eiji.

To him, the idea was worth trying.

He recalled Fushiguro Toji, whose lack of Cursed Energy made him appear transparent to the barriers of Jujutsu High and the Six Eyes.

Following that principle, Eiji, who had no magical energy, was effectively invisible to the Mages, who couldn't detect any magical energy from him.

"Let's do it."

After making his decision, Eiji got off the bed. Seeing his reflection in the mirror, wearing only his pants that now reached his knees and were filled with tears, he felt he couldn't wander around looking worse than a homeless person.

"First, find some proper clothes."

Opening the door slightly, he peeked to ensure no one was around.

He didn't want Siesta to get caught caring for him. Who knew what would happen to her if others found out.

Eiji didn't want the kind-hearted girl to be punished or even fired from her job just because of him.

"No one within 50 meters."

With his sharp hearing, Eiji left the room and walked down the corridor.

*Thud-Thud-Thud*

'Someone's coming!'

The sound of footsteps approached him.

Seeing no place to hide, he jumped several meters up, squatting on a pillar, watching a maid walk by.

Seeing the maid walk away, Eiji chose to jump from pillar to pillar like a squirrel. This way, people below wouldn't find him.

'The design of this place is really annoying.'

The Tristain Academy of Magic was a building constructed like a pentagon, with each side being a tower. The five towers had different colors, corresponding to the specific elements taught.

Although Eiji complained, thanks to the pentagon-shaped building that was interconnected, he didn't need to come down. The distance between the pillars was about ten meters, which wasn't difficult for someone superhuman like him.

With just one jump without needing to take a running start, he could leap five meters.

Since the pillars were ten meters above the ground, no one deliberately looked up.

Eiji even passed several teachers without them noticing him.

Even powerful Mages like teachers couldn't detect him above them. This confirmed his previous assumption.

'Where's the boys' dormitory?'

Since the Tristain Academy of Magic was large, it was challenging for Eiji to find the boys' dormitory.

After wandering for 15 minutes, he found it.

Sneaking into one of the rooms, he rummaged through the wardrobe.

'This size doesn't fit my body.'

Closing the wardrobe, Eiji moved to another room.

Compared to Japanese high school boys, whose average height was 170 cm, he inherited the genes of the Gojo Family, known for their tall stature.

Eiji's height was 177 cm, which was quite tall considering he was a second-year high school student.

From his observations of the male students at the Tristain Academy of Magic, he realized their average height was somewhat short.

It took Eiji quite a while to find clothes that fit his body size.

"This looks strange..."

Standing in front of a large and seemingly expensive mirror, Eiji wore a white long-sleeved shirt and black pants.

"I'm still not used to doing things with my left hand."

Remembering his experience dressing with his left hand, Eiji touched his right hand, which was now a stump.

He wasn't worried about being disabled forever. As long as his Cursed Energy recovered a little, he could use Reversed Cursed Technique to restore his right hand.

"I wonder how the protagonist is doing now."

To pass the time, Eiji watched the anime Zero no Tsukaima live.

So, he wandered around the Tristain Academy of Magic looking for Hiraga Saito.
