I, in a Jujutsu Kaisen Manga, Take the Detective Conan World by Storm

Hearing Jiang Lai's suggestion, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru first froze, then looked at each other in sync and directly began striking poses, the battle situation ready to explode at any moment!

"Ah wait wait wait!" Jiang Lai hadn't expected the two to be so eager already, quickly raising his hand to stop them, indicating: "Though we've decided on a violent solution strategy, there's no need to start fighting right now."

"It's necessary." Gojo Satoru gave a thumbs up, nodding with a smile. "Work should be this efficient. I've always been the best jujutsu sorcerer at completing tasks efficiently!"

Jiang Lai silently pointed out: "You're just itching to cause trouble and can't suppress it anymore."

Gojo Satoru: "Eh? That's not right, you should see through but not speak up."

Geto Suguru beside them coughed, gesturing for the liquid fox to return to his shoulder, then said: "So, does Lai have something else to say?"

"I was thinking, you both have such high combat power, your fluctuation range would be too large." Jiang Lai pointed to the still-ongoing fireworks show in the distance, reminding them.

"This place isn't far from Mount Shichi. Currently the fireworks festival has high foot traffic. If you start fighting, it'll be inconvenient to control the situation and too attention-grabbing. It's best to wait until tonight's fireworks festival ends before starting."

Gojo Satoru placed one hand on his chin, speaking up: "Honestly, if we're going to blow up a mountain, it'll be pretty attention-grabbing whenever we do it."

Geto Suguru added: "We can put up a [Veil] in advance to shroud the battle area, so no matter when, it won't attract ordinary people's attention."

"As for the aftermath results... I'm sure those people in the jujutsu world can scientifically explain to ordinary people why a mountain disappeared overnight. They're very good at explaining with various reasons."

"Hey, not to be that guy, but putting up a [Veil] before fighting would be too out of character, right?" Gojo Satoru wagged his finger, his ending tone rising in negation.

"Remember? Your script is a curse user going crazy darkly in damp corners, mine is a fun-lover who fears nothing and only cares about having a good time. Look at our images, which one of us would have the leisure and mood to put up a [Veil] before battle begins?"

Though the description of "curse user going crazy darkly in damp corners" made one's forehead sprout crosses, after rational analysis, Geto Suguru had to admit Gojo Satoru's main point was valid.

Looking at their current performed script relationship, if two people met and the situation developed to the point of fighting, absolutely no one would remember to put up a [Veil] on the spot.

You know, during their school days when executing missions together, they often forgot to put up [Veils]. Much less now. If they really put up a [Veil], it would make others suspicious instead.

"Ah, that's right." Jiang Lai also nodded in agreement. "Plus, Suguru, your current hidden villain identity goal is still to kill all ordinary people in the world, right? Then you definitely wouldn't care about ordinary people's situations and put up a [Veil] in advance. Making the situation more chaotic would be what your character would choose to do."

"......" Geto Suguru paused, then replied: "I understand. Then, without putting up a [Veil], it's still as Lai said, better to wait until the fireworks festival ends before fighting, at least involving fewer civilians."

"Additionally, we need to achieve a quick decisive victory as much as possible, break through the mountain range to find Miss Kuroi, to avoid interference."

"Naturally~" Gojo Satoru's tone was flippant. "Please, with me as the opponent, how could there be a prolonged battle? Suguru, you should fight symbolically for a bit, then leave harsh words and admit defeat to retreat."

Geto Suguru raised his brow, not to be outdone as he replied calmly: "So confident, Satoru? Though you're nominally the strongest, I'm not weak either. Over these years, it's not just you who's improved."

"Then let's have a good fight later." Gojo Satoru's lip corners lifted as he lifted his black blindfold with one hand, revealing his glass-bead-like beautiful blue eyes underneath. "It's been many years since we fought each other. I'm a little excited."

"I want to say the same thing." Geto Suguru smiled with squinting fox eyes. "We don't need to tell each other to hold back."

After their best frenemies declaration, they looked at each other, battle momentum building.

Facing this scene, Jiang Lai couldn't help but cover his face, finally adding a reminder: "I know you're both happy about getting to fight freely, but don't get too emotionally involved and fight too enthusiastically."

"Don't forget our real purpose is to find Kuroi Misato who might be slumbering in Mount Shichi according to our speculation. Control the situation and know when to stop."

"Relax, Lai. We've fought many times and know the proper limits." Gojo Satoru lightly wiggled his right hand fingers. "We'll definitely perform the best frenemy script and successfully find the hidden treasure Miss Kuroi~"

Geto Suguru also gently reassured: "I know what I'm doing. You can trust me, Lai."

Though their attitudes were casual, their words carried convincing power. Of course Jiang Lai trusted them. He knew both were absolutely reliable teammates at crucial moments.

So he transitioned from the previous topic, half-jokingly saying: "Speaking of which, if you really fight, for fairness' sake, Geto Suguru should attack first. After all, Satoru, you just fought 'a certain Geto Suguru' not long ago, so you're relatively familiar with moves and have strategic advantage."

Geto Suguru: "?"

The bun-haired young man was slightly stunned upon hearing this, not quite understanding what Jiang Lai said.

Though Geto Suguru knew about the [Crossroads] Tower matter, he didn't know specific details, only knowing Gojo Satoru and Jiang Lai had jointly destroyed it.

Therefore, hearing Jiang Lai's words now, he couldn't immediately connect them.

But Gojo Satoru shuddered all over like a long-haired big cat getting electrocuted, dramatically saying: "Wait, Lai! You're not going to play with memes again, are you? If you keep this up, I'm going to start transferring into chuuni mode!"

Jiang Lai: "I haven't said anything yet."

"......" Gojo Satoru stopped his unfinished words, nonchalantly tossing the small wood carving he'd just bought.

Geto Suguru raised his brow slightly, leisurely saying: "Looks like I missed something interesting."

"Everyone has their chuuni moments... If we must discuss it, I definitely learned it from Suguru." Gojo Satoru directly shifted the target to Geto Suguru. "No matter what, it's definitely Suguru's fault~"

"Oh? Has it started, the traditional blame-shifting? Really the same at any age, just like during school days."

"Hey hey, look who's talking, Suguru? Back then you and Shoko always ganged up to push me out..."

"It was originally your various crazy operations that disrupted normal mission progress. Shoko and I understood the greater good. If not you taking the blame, then who?"

"Hmph hmph, don't think I don't know. When I got beaten by Principal Yaga, you two were secretly laughing happily behind me!"

"Can't help it. You know, sometimes when you want to laugh, you can't control it."

The two began digging up old matters one by one. Jiang Lai didn't interrupt them, listening quietly beside them with interest.

He knew that having friends you could expose each other's secrets with, complain together with, yet still maintain good relationships, was actually a rare kind of luck.

What looked like daily bickering and arguing was actually a form of friendship-woven entertainment and fun.

After they finished their mutual roasting, Jiang Lai finally spoke. He looked up toward the distant sky, slowly saying: "The closing ceremony is approaching."

Under the distant sky, various patterned, colorful fireworks bloomed, decorating and illuminating the entire dark blue night sky.

"So soon?" Gojo Satoru withdrew his gaze, simply removing his blindfold completely and hanging it on his fingers. "When this fireworks festival ends, it'll be time to implement our plan."

"Let's rehearse the script first. What's the reason for this fight?" Geto Suguru posed the question, then immediately added: "Since it's near a fireworks festival, then let's go with this."

"The script is: I'm planning to test the power of a newly subdued cursed spirit, so I'm preparing to release cursed spirits to attack this Wakkanai City fireworks festival and eliminate ordinary people monkeys."

"However, you happen to be here relaxing with your little disciple student Watanabe, encounter my cursed spirit attack, and intervene to stop it."

"We two meet again after a long separation, still holding incompatible philosophies. Neither can convince the other, yet neither can completely let go of the past and treat each other as true strangers."

"The surface calm can't be maintained for long, ultimately turning into cursed energy attacks as we fight."

"Sounds reasonable." Gojo Satoru nodded, then added: "What about little Watanabe?" He tilted his head slightly toward teenage-form Jiang Lai beside him.

"Me?" Jiang Lai blinked, pointing at himself. "I can be a spectator. To fit my character more, I could add: livestreaming for money."

Geto Suguru: "?"

Gojo Satoru: "?"

Both had question marks above their heads, but Jiang Lai's eyes lit up as if he'd figured something out, continuing: "Right! This is a good method."

"Coincidentally, I was just thinking about how to make the jujutsu world notice your fight here in time, appreciate our real-time script, and come clean up the aftermath."

"Livestreaming would be a good method to achieve these goals." Jiang Lai counted on his fingers. "I'm a Little Sheep who loves making small money. Seeing you two fight, my first reaction being to livestream and open betting would be reasonable, right?"

"This way, not only would our script have authenticity, but if we find Kuroi Misato during the livestream where everyone in the jujutsu world can see, the higher-ups allied with the Supervisory Committee can't secretly manipulate and hide this point anymore."

"We weren't pursuing silence this time anyway. We're going all-out dramatic, then 'coincidentally' fighting and discovering Kuroi Misato."

"Makes sense." Geto Suguru crossed his hands, nodding. "This time we're going all-out dramatic in the jujutsu world. Making them recognize the conflict between Satoru and me, exposing doubts from the Star Plasma Vessel incident back then, letting those ordinary jujutsu sorcerers have some speculation and thoughts."

Jiang Lai added: "By the way, I know how to set odds, plus the script is pre-written by us, so the result will definitely be me as the house winning everything."

He smiled with curved brows, his teenage form's slightly baby-faced cheeks white and soft, filled with rippling joy. "Bonus harvest: we can also get some small money income~"

Gojo Satoru raised his brow, drawing out his ending tone: "How come I feel like what you're truly happy about is this so-called bonus harvest?"

"How could that be!" Jiang Lai coughed once, then shrugged. "I'm a reliable, serious hero saving the world. As for small money... well, it is pretty sweet."
