The woman walked with her hands casually tucked into her pockets, exuding an air of effortless freedom. She was dressed entirely in black—well-tailored, like a uniform—that beautifully accentuated her graceful figure.
Her black high heels made her legs appear even longer and her height more pronounced.
But what stood out most was her long, silver-white hair, cascading like a waterfall down to her waist, strand by strand shimmering with a moonlit glow, soft and fluid. In the quiet park, it swayed gently in the breeze.
Renji looked at her back, at her attire, and felt a flicker of familiarity. He inexplicably thought of a school uniform.
Yet it was completely different from the type Kishibe wore. Though it felt deeply familiar, Renji's mind stalled, unable to recall where he'd seen this uniform before.
He glanced back at the ants on the ground, still diligently marching along their predetermined route, and couldn't make sense of it.
How had that woman done it? She'd clearly stepped right over the ants. Though she wore high heels—which have a smaller surface area—even so, she should have crushed at least a dozen. Yet after she passed, the ant colony was completely undisturbed.
"Hey, Miss?"
Renji called out to the white-haired woman ahead. Hearing him, she stopped and turned, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Hmm? Is there a problem?"
Renji saw that she wore a black eye patch over her eyes. From the front, her height was even more striking.
He felt she was quite a bit taller than him, significantly so. Yet at the same time, her tall, slender frame carried a unique elegance and softness, standing with poised grace.
"You…"
Renji pointed at her, momentarily speechless. He finally understood where that indescribable sense of familiarity came from.
Because the clothes this woman was wearing—weren't they from Jujutsu Kaisen? The uniform of Jujutsu High!
And this woman was Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru hummed curiously, also observing Renji as he stood up.
Though she wore a black eye patch, Gojo Satoru couldn't see Renji's exact appearance—but through her Six Eyes, she could perceive the flow of cursed energy in the air, allowing her to discern his physique, features, and characteristics. It was like seeing a digital, cursed-energy version of Renji.
Gojo Satoru clearly noticed something. With a puzzled expression, she walked toward him.
Renji happened to stand up just then, brushing the dust from his knees. By the time he looked up, Gojo Satoru was already in front of him. Had she walked that fast? Or had she used her own cursed technique to teleport instantly?
Gojo Satoru tilted her head slightly, leaned in close to Renji, pinched her chin, and stared intently at his face.
Renji looked up at her.
Even with the black eye patch covering her eyes, just the lower half of Gojo Satoru's face that was visible was enough to tell how astonishingly beautiful she was.
Her lips were a soft pink, full and inviting, with a subtle, almost imperceptible smile at the corners. Her chin had smooth, gentle lines, giving a natural, refreshing impression.
One could only imagine how breathtaking her full face would be if she removed the eye patch.
And…
Up close, Gojo Satoru was really tall…
In high heels, she must have been around 190 centimeters… maybe even taller…
"Hmm? How strange… a man?"
Renji's heart skipped a beat. He unconsciously took a few steps back, quickly glancing over at the Angel Devil still eating ice cream on the bench to make sure she hadn't noticed.
He looked back at Gojo Satoru in front of him and asked,
"Are you… Gojo Satoru?"
Gojo Satoru nodded.
"Mhm… I'm Gojo Satoru. And you still haven't answered my question. Are you the legendary man?"
Renji glanced back at the Angel Devil again. She was now leaning back on the bench, posture relaxed since she was sitting alone.
She had finished her ice cream and was looking up at the sky, the empty cone still in her mouth, lost in thought.
Renji looked back at Gojo Satoru.
"Yes, I am a man. How did you know?"
[Ding~ Detected Gojo Satoru's excited emotional state. System rewards 5 points.]
Gojo Satoru smiled.
"It really is! No wonder my heart's been racing since I started talking to you. It's a good thing I didn't choose to take off my blindfold and look at your face just now—otherwise I'd never be able to forget it for the rest of my life."
"But then again… I didn't expect you to admit it so frankly. Should I say, 'as expected of a man'? You actually know who I am?"
Renji barely registered the last few words Gojo Satoru said. He couldn't process them at all—his emotions were surging wildly.
She appeared! She appeared! Besides characters from the Chainsaw Man universe, the first character from another anime had shown up!
Jujutsu Kaisen!
It felt like something was beginning… something major was on the horizon!
Renji recalled what Goddess Eris had told him just before he transmigrated: This world is a fusion of many anime worlds. It's a comprehensive anime universe.
A… comprehensive anime world?
Renji's excitement suddenly cooled.
Something was off… Renji had already realized… Goddess Eris's words actually contained a major flaw…
Because this world currently seemed to have only two cities, Tokyo and Kyoto, and the characters from the Chainsaw Man universe alone had already saturated that space.
It was too small. With only two cities, this world was still far too limited.
Moreover, the surface leadership of these two cities was held by Public Safety from the Chainsaw Man universe. If the Jujutsu Kaisen universe was hidden deep within these two cities…
It was impossible for Public Safety in Chainsaw Man to have no relevant reports on the series of supernatural incidents that occurred in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.
Renji had never heard Makima, Hayakawa Aki, or Himeno mention that aside from Devils, there were also Cursed Spirits among the populace.
And this was just with the addition of the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. Other types of anime hadn't been incorporated yet—or perhaps they had, but Renji had never encountered them.
However, based on what Kishibe had said about the "male concept" Renji possessed and how it would attract and interact with the "female concept," this seemed implausible.
If there were protagonists from other universes, Renji, having lived here this long, should have encountered them all by now.
So far, Gojo Satoru was the first character from another anime—unrelated to the Chainsaw Man universe and outside its plot.
If two exist, they will attract each other…
Which meant…
Gojo Satoru… she must have appeared not long ago. Yet from her tone, she didn't seem to have transmigrated either…
She clearly had lived in this world for a long time. She knew about the "legendary man," and she recognized Renji's true male identity at a glance.
So where did Gojo Satoru come from…?
The more Renji thought about it, the more something felt fundamentally wrong. At that moment, Gojo Satoru spoke again, and her words sent his already heavy heart into a violent, pounding surge.
"How strange… why would a man appear here? And even stand brazenly in the middle of a park path, without being killed?"
"Logically speaking… a man like you should be dead. What is Makima doing? Has she not discovered your existence? Is that not enough? So many things are already missing from your… place."
"Hmm… Meeting you here… what should I do…"
