Chapter 19: The First Encounter
Following the Gojo family's servant into the main hall, Toji immediately noticed that some guests had arrived before them.
On one side of the hall, a girl with brown hair tied into a bun sat alone. There was no one around her, making her look somewhat isolated.
However, she seemed completely indifferent to the situation. Instead of paying attention to the people around her, she calmly enjoyed the snacks laid out on the table.
Across from her, a young man also sat alone, occasionally exchanging glances with the brown-haired girl. Then, as if they had come to some unspoken agreement, both of them began tasting the snacks at the same time.
What a strange duo.
Zenin Ogi, who had just entered the hall, glanced at them but quickly lost interest. Instead, he focused on finding his acquaintances within the Gojo clan, eager to gather information about the Six Eyes.
Meanwhile, Toji, Jinichi and Shinsuke were guided to their respective seats.
The main hall was packed, making it feel more like a grand gathering of jujutsu families rather than an official meeting.
However, among the many families present, the Gojo and Zenin clans were the most prominent. To an outsider, this would seem less like a general assembly and more like a formal discussion between the two dominant sorcerer families.
The waiting was tedious. After sitting still for only five minutes, Toji was already bored.
Getting permission from a nearby servant, he stepped outside to get some fresh air.
