Heavenly Restriction User of the Gojo Clan: I Refuse to Be Cut in Half

Sensing the shift in Yuki's emotions, a flicker of surprise appeared in Satoshi's eyes.

If he had previously believed Yuki was only interested in his Heavenly Restriction and Zanpakutō, now, after catching a glimpse of her true emotions, he could sense the deeper intentions behind her actions.

Thinking of this, Satoshi's tone softened.

"Miss Tsukumo, that's not what I meant. I've heard of the Star Plasma Vessel situation."

"If—just hypothetically—if you didn't have to assimilate with Lord Tengen in the future, would you still choose a boyfriend so quickly?"

Satoshi could feel how decisive and straightforward Yuki was, but he could also imagine what was forcing her hand.

The only thing that could drive a girl to be this resolute in love... must be a lifespan she has no control over.

So, if Yuki truly wanted to be his girlfriend, he hoped it wasn't a decision made under those circumstances.

Satoshi's words made Yuki's body tremble slightly. She couldn't understand what he meant.

As a Star Plasma Vessel, wouldn't she have to assimilate with Tengen? Tengen needed to fuse with a young girl every 500 years. That had always been the unchanging rule in the world of jujutsu. How could that possibly change for her?

Faced with her shocked gaze, Satoshi gave a bitter smile.
