Chapter 37: Domain Expansion? This Is a Business Opportunity!
An hour later, in the forest.
Meili had not yet awakened. She was leaning against a large tree with a coat draped over her, looking as though she were merely asleep.
Yuji Itadori stood silently by her side, waiting.
After quietly escorting Natsuki Subaru back to the mansion, Yuji Itadori had returned to the depths of the forest with Meili.
Natsuki Subaru had initially offered to help Yuji Itadori find a temporary place to rest for the night, but the latter had declined.
In any case, there wasn't much time left until dawn.
Noticing the unread message notifications, he opened the Chat Group and scrolled through the previous chat history. Natsuki Subaru had already recounted everything that had just transpired.
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: You're saying... the Group Leader resurrected you when you were about to die?]
After Young Itadori sent the message, his heart was filled with utter shock.
These words were somewhat difficult for Young Itadori to believe.
Did his future self actually possess such an ability?
This also meant he could help even more people!
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Exactly! At that moment, I felt like Return by Death was about to trigger! But the Group Leader saved me directly!]
Having returned to his quarters, Natsuki Subaru couldn't wait to talk about the day's events. Subsequently, he uploaded the images of the Domain Expansion he had witnessed.
[Only Love White-Haired Elves: What kind of magic is this? To be able to change the surrounding environment so directly? And these buildings, what are they?]
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: This is... Domain Expansion? Gojo-sensei just demonstrated it to me not too long ago! And... isn't this environment Iwate Prefecture?!]
Young Itadori immediately recognized the surroundings as his childhood home.
[Only Love White-Haired Elves: Iwate Prefecture? Is that a place name?]
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: Yes, it's my hometown from when I was a kid.]
[Only Love White-Haired Elves: So the town buildings on your side look like this? I bet Frieren would be curious if she saw this!]
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: You can think of it as... the buildings in your world's future hundreds or thousands of years from now would look like this! All the buildings are made of concrete and steel!]
[Only Love White-Haired Elves: What is concrete? But building houses with steel must be very time-consuming and labor-intensive, right? Especially buildings of that scale—though with magic, it shouldn't be impossible to achieve.]
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: Our world doesn't have magic, only Jujutsu. Although it's similar to magic, very few people master it, and ordinary people don't even know Jujutsu Sorcerers exist.]
[Only Love White-Haired Elves: Then do you rely solely on human labor?]
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: No, while human labor accounts for a lot, we also have all kinds of mechanical equipment—forklifts, cranes, excavators, and things like that. In fact, these buildings are considered relatively short on our side; some skyscrapers can be hundreds of meters high!]
[Only Love White-Haired Elves: To achieve such heights purely through machinery without magic is truly remarkable.]
Himmel gave a heartfelt sigh of admiration, a look of anticipation appearing on his face.
He couldn't help but wonder what the future of humanity would ultimately look like.
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Speaking of which, why haven't I seen Kazuma speaking? He didn't fall asleep, did he? @Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: I most certainly did not. I've been thinking about one thing this whole time.]
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Thinking about something?]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Exactly. Great Group Leader, is everything inside that Domain materialized?]
[Unsurrounded One: Materialized? More or less. The things inside can be seen and touched, just like real objects.]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: And can the Domain only turn into that small town? Can it turn into other big cities?]
[Unsurrounded One: A Domain is a symbol of a Jujutsu Sorcerer's heart. It's a bit difficult to change it completely, though theoretically, it's not impossible.]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: That's a bit tricky then... but I feel it's enough. The facilities within a small town are also quite complete.]
[Unsurrounded One: What do you mean?]
Yuji Itadori didn't understand what Sato Kazuma was talking about either.
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Wait a second, I know what this guy is thinking. Kazuma, you're not thinking about using a Domain to make money, are you?]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Precisely! This is a business opportunity!]
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: I don't quite get it.]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Just think about it! Isn't a Domain Expansion essentially a pocket universe! A city you can carry around with you! We could totally use it to do business! Like a mobile resort or something! And because everything inside costs essentially zero... it feels like there's huge business potential!]
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: That actually seems to make sense.]
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: ...Even so, you can't have the Group Leader expand his Domain for you every day!]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: If the Great Group Leader is willing to come! We can split it three ways! No! Eighty-twenty! Ninety-ten is also fine! We could do cross-dimensional business until our pockets are bursting! But if the Great Group Leader is unwilling, there is another way!]
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: What?]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: And that is to let us learn Domain too!]
After Sato Kazuma finished speaking, he immediately turned to look at the few people behind him.
"Are you saying that the Archwizard named Yuji Itadori is also a member of our party?"
"Exactly! And he has quite the style! He can use Explosion Magic too! It's just that last time he had some mission to carry out and used teleportation magic to leave!"
At this moment, Megumin and the newly joined Darkness were discussing Yuji Itadori.
Last time, because Yuji Itadori's time was limited, he had disappeared in front of Megumin to return to his original world. Sato Kazuma had offhandedly made up the excuse that 'Senior Itadori still had a mission to execute'.
After all, unlike Aqua, Megumin had no knowledge of the modern world; explaining the Chat Group would be too much trouble.
Furthermore, this girl was a troublemaker herself; every day when she got out of bed, she would ask whether Senior Itadori was coming back today.
Letting the two of them learn Domain?
No, impossible! How could I have such a thought!
Setting aside Darkness, Megumin would definitely be unwilling as well—that girl had nothing but Explosion Magic in her head!
