Gojo has never seen someone like @secretaryshion.bsky.social . They weren't a curse, nor human. A rare sight indeed.

" Fairly tall. Single horn . . Either you're cosplaying, or you're a mythical oni. Which would mean meeting me is pretty unlucky for you. "

In fact, the sorcerer could sense they were more curse like than human. To retain a human form surely is an attest to their strength. But Satoru was not worried. Actually, quite the opposite.

" Not that it matters. You couldn't touch me no matter how hard you tried. "

Gojo would internally repeat various details about the man above him. Most importantly, he gauged their curse energy— or lack thereof. It was a difficult read. It was similar, but it was accompanied by immense pressure. Anyone weak willed would have crumbled at the sight of him.

" Eugh.. You're a pervert. "

" Can't say I ever been here. Though, I don't normally go grocery shopping. Is the food here high quality? "

Her audible stomach was loud enough for even him to hear. Watching as her embarrassed state quickly walks inside, he couldn't help but stand there and think to himself-

" You're easily embarrassed like him as well. "

And proceeding to head in, Gojo immediately surveys his new surroundings.

" Somehow, I highly doubt that, but you sound so sure of yourself. OK, tell me, what ARE you doing out here at this time of night? "

" You know, if your goal was to remain hidden so you could ambush me, you're doing a lousy job. Just show yourself already. "

This feeling. He's felt it before. Like being stalked by a curse. Being on the receiving end on numerous occasions he's grown numb to the idea of fear. This was the feeling of murderous intent. If @espadapantera.bsky.social thought they could bypass his senses, they would be in for a rude awakening.

" Oii.. Hey, little lady. You're playing a dangerous game waltzing about on your own at this time of night. Clear out. "

"Hm?"

Curious, a young @ofcleansinglove.bsky.social out on their lonesome. It's not like this area was dangerous. However, curses were just running rampant seconds before Gojo arrived. If she got caught up in the crossfire, he wouldn't be able to shake off the guilt for at least a couple days.

It was a relatively quiet night. The only disturbance coming from an occasional vehicle roaming the city streets. Not very many citizens were caught out at this time, which made it perfect to conduct his business. It's this very same reason that gave rise to such a faithful encounter.
