Chapter 41: Planning Starts
The moon hung low in the sky, casting a soft glow over the quiet streets of Roppongi. Mitsuri and Gojo strolled side by side, the atmosphere serene but tinged with a hint of..... sadness?
As they approached Mitsuri's apartment, the mood grew more somber. Mitsuri glanced up at Gojo, her eyes filled with a sense of reluctance. "Thanks for tonight, Gojo san. I had a really great time."
Gojo smiled, his eyes warm but tinged with sadness. "The pleasure was all mine, Mitsuri. You made this night really special... so, just call me Satoru from now on..."
They paused outside Mitsuri's door, the night's silence wrapping around them like a comforting embrace.
"Goj- Satoru San...," Mitsuri began, her voice barely above a whisper, "you mentioned earlier that you'd be going somewhere. Is everything okay?"
Gojo's expression turned serious, the weight of his impending departure evident in his eyes. "Yeah, I have some stuff to take care of. Things that are beyond this world."
Mitsuri's brows furrowed with concern. "W-Will you be alright? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Gojo chuckled softly, a touch of wistfulness in his voice. "Don't worry, Mitsuri. I'll be fine. But I wanted to tell you in person...., rather than just disappearing without a word."
Mitsuri's eyes glistened with unshed tears. "I-is that so..? ... I'll miss you, Satoru San ."
Gojo's hand gently cupped Mitsuri's cheek, his thumb wiping away a stray tear. "Hey, don't cry. This isn't goodbye forever. I'll be back."
(A/N: Oi! he will be back after 48-49 days in JJK world... meaning-- after 2 years in Demonslayer World.. why?.. Coz I don't know shit and Tanjiro will be a Demon Slayer... that scene where he 1st met the Hashiras remember? And we have to go through the Hidden Inventory arc... And yeah, It has only been 2 days in the JJK world since he came here, just in case you forgot.. 2 days(JJK)---> 30 days (Demonslayer))
Mitsuri nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "Promise?"
Gojo's eyes held a solemn promise. "Promise."
With a heavy heart, Gojo stepped back. "Take care of yourself, Mitsuri. Until we meet again."
Mitsuri nodded, her voice soft. "Until we meet again, Satoru San."

After escorting Mitsuri, Gojo came to his room.
'This fucker... just go and do some shit dude' Gojo thought sensing Gyutaro inside the shadow of Daki.
"Gyutaro, why don't you go explore the world a bit? Stretch those limbs of yours. I'll be back in a while." Gojo said trying not to sound like a Karan.
"If you say so, Gojo Sama..." Gyutaro grunted in acknowledgment and exited the room, his ominous presence dissipating with his departure.
*sigh* Gojo leaned against the wall of his dimly lit room, his eyes fixed on the window and the night sky beyond. He had just given Gyutaro the go-ahead to explore the world, and now he was alone with his thoughts.
Daki appeared at his side, her demonic features softened in the low light. "H-Hey, Gojo Sama. Something bothering you?"
Gojo smiled, trying to hide the weight of his impending departure. "Just thinking about some stuff, Daki. Come on, let's hang out for a bit."
They spent a quiet moment together, they talked and laughed... and some ehm-ehm... but Gojo's eyes kept drifting to the window, his mind elsewhere.
Gojo then told Daki about going back to his world and that she needed to go back too and act like before in front of Muzan. (A/N: so the plot remains somewhat the same after 2 years..lol)
In the midst of their conversation, a subtle notification glowed in the air before him.
It was from the system that had brought him to this world:
###
{Ding!}\
{Host's 30 days are over..}
{Transition to Jujutsu Kaisen world initiated. Estimated arrival: 30 seconds...}
{New Mission: Make Toji Zenin your subordinate....
Time limit: 30 days..
Mission reward: ???(Ex), Teleportation knowledge(sss)
Failure penalty: None
[Accept / Deny] }
###
'....Accept' Gojo's expression tightened, and he turned to Daki. "I have to go. I'll be back, but it might take a while."
Daki's eyes understood, and she placed a hand on his arm. "I'll be here when you get back, Gojo Sama."
Gojo nodded, appreciating her support. He took one last look at the room, memorizing the details, and then stepped back, ready for the familiar sensation of interdimensional travel.
The seconds ticked away, and Gojo braced himself for the journey ahead.
*Wroom-swoosh-crackle...* The room blurred, and with a flash of light, he disappeared, leaving behind a quiet space filled with memories.
*****
(10:30 AM, JJK world)
*Wirl-Wirl**Crackle*
Gojo materialized in his room with the characteristic flash of light that accompanied his travels between worlds. Eliza, his diligent and ever-present maid, was in the midst of cleaning. Startled by his sudden appearance, she let out a surprised yelp.
"Master Gojo! You scared me half to death! When did you return?" Eliza asked, her hands pressed against her chest.
Gojo flashed his signature nonchalant grin. "Just a moment ago, Eliza. You know me, always making a dramatic entrance."
Eliza rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "You could at least give me a heads up, Master. I'm not getting any younger, you know."
Gojo chuckled, surveying his surroundings with a familiar glance. "Where's the fun in that, Eliza? Besides, you're just a little bit older than me."
Eliza snorted, her expression a mix of Affection and fondness. "You're something else, Master." She continued her cleaning duties, stealing occasional glances at Gojo.
After a comfortable silence, Gojo's expression turned serious, his eyes taking on a distant look.
"Eliza, I need you to do something for me," he said, his tone carrying a weight that wasn't lost on his attentive maid.
Eliza paused, giving him her full attention. "Of course, Master. What do you need?"
"I want you to find a boy named Megumi Fushiguro. He has spiky black hair. Bring him to me as soon as possible. It's important," Gojo instructed, his eyes reflecting a sense of urgency.
Eliza nodded, her dedication to Gojo evident in her unwavering demeanor. "I'll get it done, Master. Anything else I should know?"
Gojo shook his head. "That's all for now. Just find him and bring him here. The future might be about to change."
With a determined nod, Eliza left the room, leaving Gojo alone with his thoughts.

I had already given an explanation on the Note above so If some fucker will comment about Time/days/years related stuff between the two worlds... I will curse their entire generation..
Trip Update:-
Hey there, folks! So, we were sitting on a bench eating Maggie(noodles) and Samosa(indian snack) on a stall on top of the mountain. (Indians know what I mean) and I said I was felling hungry after eating my plate. And the girl(my Gym crush) sitting besides me gave me her half-bit Samosa and giggling at my dad jokes. I mean, it's not every day you find someone who appreciates your unique sense of humor and your ability to make a mountain out of a molehill (get it? mountain out of a molehill? Okay, maybe that one was a bit of a stretch)..... Ok, maybe I am delusional...
