Naoya Zen'in inhaled, exhaled, held his breath—then finally gave in and helped an old lady by the roadside cross the street.

The old lady, leaning on a cane, turned her head when Naoya greeted her.

She had a kind face full of wrinkles, but beneath all those folds, a faint stitch line on her forehead could still be seen.

Chihori: "...Huh?"

That suture line looked kind of familiar.

System: [Uwah! Is that Brain-chan? Isn't that the stitch from when Brain-chan takes over someone's body?? Why would it even target an old lady—]

Sought Brain-chan through a thousand crowds, and suddenly turned to see them standing with a cane by the roadside!

System: [...But why would Brain-chan be here? Even thousand-year-old geezers fall for worldly pleasures now? (blank stare.jpg)]

Kenjaku—aka Brain-chan—was currently occupying the body of the curse user Tsuyu Ishimura, standing at the edge of the red-light district.

This curse user's technique allowed them to freely reshape their body—male or female, from elderly to toddler—and even adjust the cursed energy within to match that of an ordinary human.

That was exactly why Brain-chan had chosen this body—its ever-changing appearance and adjustable cursed energy made it perfect for quietly setting up the early stages of its plan.

The fingers of the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, aside from those secured by Jujutsu High and the few sealed in known locations, had scattered across the jujutsu world.

Brain-chan and the curse spirits temporarily allied with it had already collected a few. This time, upon learning that one of the fingers might be a prize in an event held at the red-light district—and just so happened to be nearby—it made the decision to head over.

In theory, it should be easy enough to snatch an item from some casual human event. But Brain-chan was cautious. It couldn't rule out the possibility that the event itself was a setup.

—Maybe some jujutsu sorcerers had caught wind of their movements and planted the finger on purpose to bait them into showing up.

That's why Brain-chan decided to hold back for now. Using the body's innate technique, it disguised itself as a harmless elderly woman, wandering through the area to scope things out and determine whether this was a human trap—before deciding how best to retrieve the finger.

Brain-chan had no intention of stirring up trouble just yet. This was still the careful preparation phase.

And it had always been very, very patient.

Now, using the body's technique, Brain-chan disguised itself as a wrinkly, kind-looking old granny with a cane, standing at the roadside of the red-light district. Its clouded eyes sharply scanned the crowd.

In a certain moment, it sensed someone suddenly approaching from the side. Its expression didn't change, but its guard shot up—

"Hello, ma'am. I'll help you cross...the street."

A blond teenager with upturned fox-like eyes stopped beside it, speaking those words with polite courtesy—though somehow through gritted teeth (...?).

Still wearing the kind old-lady smile, Brain-chan turned to look at him—and instantly recognized him.

It was the Zen'in family's legitimate heir, Naoya Zen'in.

As the mastermind behind everything, Brain-chan naturally knew the key figures of every major clan.

But... was the Zen'in heir always like this??

"Hey, Naoya, don't rush off like that! Wait for us. Walking off so cold like that—it really breaks my heart," came a lazy voice from behind, snapping Brain-chan's full attention away.

—It was Six Eyes. Satoru Gojo.

Walking beside Satoru Gojo was a slim silver-haired girl. From all the relationship intel Brain-chan had gathered on Six Eyes, he knew who she was the sister of the Cursed Spirit Manipulator, Suguru Geto.

Not long ago, when Hanami went out to recover a finger, it had rescued a vine-type cursed spirit—and briefly mentioned this girl after returning.

While recovering the finger and rescuing the cursed spirit, it had run into a mysterious silver-haired girl—someone who seemed to possess an unbelievable kind of power.

Brain-chan studied the silver-haired girl but didn't see anything unusual about her at all.

Meanwhile, as it observed her, Chihori's gaze had also landed on that barely visible suture line buried between the wrinkles.

Chihori thought to herself, [I really wanna reach out and peel back those wrinkles just to clearly see the stitch line and figure out whether this is actually Comrade Brain-kun.]

System: [You'd be better off checking Satoru Gojo's reaction. Genius Six Eyes detector sounds way more reliable than manually peeling granny's wrinkles.]

Chihori recalled the manga and answered in her head, [I still think peeling the wrinkles myself makes more sense.]

System: [...Don't do something so disturbing to a granny!!]

In the original story, when Satoru Gojo saw Kenjaku—aka Brain-kun—occupying Suguru Geto's body, his line was:
[The flesh and cursed energy... All the information Six Eyes gives me says you're Suguru. But my soul rejects that!]

So when Brain-chan took over someone's body, what Six Eyes saw was always the original owner's objective data—meaning Satoru couldn't instantly tell if Brain-chan was inside.

That meant Chihori couldn't rely on Satoru's judgment alone to confirm whether the old lady in front of them was the same brain that needed to be yanked out and tossed into a hot pot.

But if it really was Brain-chan, surely the chosen body wouldn't just be a random old lady on the street, right? Chihori wondered.
What made this body special?

Hearing Satoru calling after him, Naoya turned back half-annoyed and yelled, "...You two aren't helping the old lady cross the street! I'm the only one actually doing something! And we didn't even come here together—why would I wait for you guys?"

Then he turned back again and smoothly continued supporting the old lady Brain-chan. "Come on, Grandma."

The old lady Brain-chan had initially wanted to say it wasn't trying to cross the street—but upon noticing Six Eyes approaching, he changed his mind.

—Even if Six Eyes probably couldn't see through his disguise, Brain-chan wasn't keen on interacting with him too much just yet.

...As for that weird silver-haired girl, she could wait. Brain-chan would test her out later.

The old lady Brain-chan put on a wrinkle-filled smile and let Naoya help him along.
"Thank you, young man. Too bad I've got nothing to give you in return."

Naoya: "No need, no no no no, seriously." He instantly replied, reflexively fast.
