Decided to do a rewrite because the newly revealed information about JJK by GEGE conflicts with some of the things I already planned for the story. Hence, I gotta do a classic one here.
Also, if anyone is curious why i wasn't writing anymore these days, is because I moved to a new place and was busy working my ass off. I just managed to do one now because I bought a new laptop and have free time.
That's all, now expect some updates from me. Probably a couple in a week. Don't expect too much.
Adulting is hard ya'll.
_____________________________
A couple of years had passed since the last happenings, and Hiroyuki is now 6 years old.
At this point, he can now go around the estate whenever he wants. Although there is still a curfew at night, and some complicated conditions apply to it, it isn't as strict as it was before.
That's why he can currently be seen sitting in the Villa's garden, which is located on the corner side of the estate, making it a bit of a distance from the house where he usually stays.
This is where Hiroyuki likes to go whenever he wants to relax.
Meaning...
Given that he is here now, coupled with his pretty serious expression and how he repeatedly taps his finger on the table, what he's feeling right now couldn't be more obvious.
Well, how could he not be? There are just so many things happening at the same time during these couple of weeks.
Like how his 'Mother' suddenly announced that she was pregnant once again to the entire clan, how the Elders decided to annoy him even more due to that, and many other annoying stuff that are somewhat related to the first happening.
But the surprising thing is, none of that is even the biggest happening.
The biggest of them all is probably the arrival of his new 'Personal Maid', who is currently standing in front of him.
Well, being the biggest happening doesn't quantify a bad happening per se. But that doesn't make it a good one either. Ultimately, it depends on the situation.
But that's exactly the reason why Hiroyuki is so stressed about this specific thing, because he doesn't know if it is good or bad yet.
To be fair, this supposed personal Maid of his had arrived in front of him a couple of days ago.
But no matter how good Hiroyuki is when it comes to assessing situations, there's just no way he can assess this one even with the given time so far.
Actually, in some cases, he would be able to assess everything pretty quickly, but to avoid suspicions, he decided to wait for the right moment first before acting.
Apart from that, there's also something about this that threw him off so much. That's why, from her arrival, up until now, Hiroyuki continues to give his personal Maid a look from top to bottom.
Since, as ridiculous a thought as it is, he simply couldn't believe her entire existence.
The world of Jujutsu Kaisen is a world that Hiroyuki does not have much knowledge of.
Actually, to say such a thing is even a stretch, given that the thing that he knows about this world can only be counted on one hand if one were to generalize it.
But at the very least, he is pretty sure that the girl in front of him right now is not supposed to be here.
No, not just in this place, but in this entire world.
An anomaly, something that doesn't belong in this reality, much like Hiroyuki himself.
Now, how did he arrive at such a ridiculous thought? And why does he sound so sure about it?
Well, it's simple... all he needed to do was to just ask one question.
That's why, with a heavy sigh, Hiroyuki opened his mouth and spoke to the girl who stood in front of him.
"It seems that names aren't my strongest suit. Remind me of your name again?"
To that question, the girl simply nodded in understanding.
"It's Senjumaru Shutara, Hiroyuki-sama." The girl said with a courteous bow and a pretty, calm expression.
After that, Hiroyuki sighed once again as he continued to observe the girl who had just introduced herself as Senjumaru.
As stated before, back then in his original world, Hiroyuki liked consuming media heavily related to anime. That's because he likes those kinds of stuff and even takes pride when being called a weeb.
As cringeworthy a thought as it was.
Regardless, back then, he was that kind of guy. Not to say that he wasn't that kind of guy anymore, but that was decades ago, so that personality of his naturally mellowed as he matured. Not to mention the kind of life he's been living so far is already pretty different.
However, this doesn't mean he has already forgotten that side of him.
To make the long story short, at the very least, he still remembered his so-called 'waifus' back then pretty clearly.
And it just so happens that amongst his Waifus, there exists a character that bears a heavy resemblance to his supposed 'Personal Maid'.
The name is one thing. But her appearance...
Wearing a pretty loose kimono, paired with those sharp features, a subtle familiar tone, and that hairstyle... even though she doesn't have those iconic golden hands and looks as young as Hiroyuki currently, there's just no way he won't recognize her.
Overall, Hiroyuki's conclusion in this entire situation is that this Senjumaru in front of him is the same Senjumaru Shutara that he knew from a certain anime a long time ago. The same reason is why he found her existence weird.
To confirm this very idea, well, that's the plan for today. He planned to ask her questions and confirm some things that are related to her identity.
That's also why both of them are in the Villa's garden right now, cause currently, given how chaotic everyone's situation is due to some problematic reason Hiroyuki had secretly caused, this is the last place where the clan members would be found.
So yeah, the entire garden had been emptied, and they would be able to talk without any rats nearby. Of course, that's just not an assumption. Hiroyuki used some measures earlier and is still doing so to make sure that very fact remains the same.
"Alright, before anyone looks for us, let's start."
So with that, without wasting any more time, Hiroyuki decided to finally start the questioning.
___ Next scene Loading... ___
A couple of hours had passed, and Hiroyuki was already back in his house, sitting near the window of his room, all while eating apples. Slices of apples that Senjumaru, who's sitting beside him, gave to him after peeling them one by one.
After talking to her for almost an entire day, Hiroyuki is already pretty used to her company.
Well, unlike the other maids whom he cannot just get along with for some unexplainable reason, Senjumaru just feels right. So right in fact that it almost feels like some supernatural power came into play. That's just how weirdly smooth she came into his life.
Of course, Hiroyuki would take notice of it.
Well, this is not the first time this has happened. He had already noticed many weird things in the past as well.
The best example of that is when he noticed that the body he currently possesses is a little too strong than normal. It's not obvious back then, but the moment he hit 4 years of age, this fact became so apparent to him.
It's like a power that has suddenly awakened.
His strength grew stronger, his muscle density improved, and his mental capabilities became broader and smoother. Things that don't happen overnight, but it did.
Hiroyuki knows what it's like to be 4 years old the most. He's been like that thrice already. So it's obvious to him that this isn't a normal thing, curse energy or whatnot.
Regardless, given how good of a news it is, back then, he did not pay it too much attention.
It's awesome that he grew stronger all of a sudden, but that's pretty much it. It's nothing to celebrate.
Well, who can blame him for not being too enthusiastic about it? He's a guy who can easily rip a building in half in the past, so what if he can do 400 push-ups now as a 4-year-old? It's literally child's play in his eyes.
Hence, he did not delve too much into it.
But the current issue? No way he can do the same.
This time, he gotta know.
He's not naive enough to just assume that everything was led here by fate or some BS like that. He could guess that something else played a part in every weird happening in his life, that's for sure.
Like how he was reincarnated in another world for the first time, then again for the second time, then his body for the fourth time, up to the very latest weird happening... which is Senjumaru's arrival.
"Hmm? You want more apples?" Senjumaru tilted her head as she noticed Hiroyuki's serious gaze on her.
"No. I'm good."
Well, about him getting reincarnated, there are still some things he cannot explain. The reason and condition for it is surely one of those.
What if he dies again? Would he just wake up in another world again? Such thoughts obviously lingered around Hiroyuki's head at some point. But of course, he has no way of making sure of such an idea unless he tests it out by simply killing himself.
Fortunately, he's not insane enough to do it.
For all he knows, this may as well be his very last life before he goes straight to whatever the afterlife is. Or, probably, this is God's reward to him for his good deeds during his past life. Either way, all Hiroyuki knows is that he doesn't want to die.
At least, not until he achieves his goal.
Which is basically setting up a small and humble shop somewhere within the city, and living a simple and normal life until he dies of old age.
Indeed, It's simple and very cliche. But after years of war, chaos, death, and fighting nonstop, at this point, he just wants nothing but to retire and rest.
But as much as he wanted to do that, he simply could not. Because to achieve his goal without any issues, he gotta secure this world first, or at least, establish someone or something that could do that for him.
Either of the two is fine. But until then, he needs to constantly fight.
Just for the sake of keeping his well-deserved peace.
