Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes

『Nobara Kugisaki』: Ugh, so unfair! Yuji gets to hang out with people who look like celebrities.

『Nobara Kugisaki』: I wanna join too... but maybe I should just go hunt down those curses instead.

『Nobara Kugisaki』: Hopefully they aren't dead yet...

『Megumi Fushiguro』 shot her a glance, clearly speechless.

They entered the dormitory.

A few minutes later, after looking around the whole place,

『Nobara Kugisaki』: Tch! They're really gone.

『Nobara Kugisaki』: Looks like someone already took care of them.

『Nobara Kugisaki』: Damn it, I wanted to get revenge myself!

『Nobara Kugisaki』: Hmph! Guess they got off easy!

Despite searching thoroughly, they found no trace of the curses.

Whether it was the Special Grade that Yuji had encountered,

or the ones that had captured Nobara,

all of them had been wiped out.

『Megumi Fushiguro』 didn't seem too surprised.

After all, he had his Divine Dog Shikigami.

It specialized in hunting and devouring curses.

Tracking them down by scent was simple.

And earlier, Divine Dog had already informed him:

There were no longer any curses inside the dorm.

Which meant, they'd all been eliminated.

『Megumi Fushiguro』: Let's go. We need to report this to Gojo-sensei.

After all, someone capable of eliminating a Special Grade curse was no ordinary person.

Even though that group looked like regular people,

Megumi hadn't sensed any cursed energy from them.

But anyone who could defeat a Special Grade...

had to be Special Grade themselves. No doubt about it.

And not just Carl, the one who had taken out the curse.

The others around him didn't seem like normal folks either.

『Nobara Kugisaki』: Fine, fine. Let's head back...

She agreed, albeit reluctantly.

Then the two of them got into Ijichi's car and drove back to Jujutsu High.

...

Meanwhile, Carl and his group had found a nearby restaurant.

Inside, many guests kept sneaking glances at their table.

Even those passing by outside stopped to peek in.

『Yuji Itadori』: Um... why is everyone staring at us?

『Shoutarou』: Who knows?

He struck a pose while sipping fruit juice.

『Shoutarou』: Probably because people like Carl and I are just too good-looking.

『Yuji Itadori』: ...

『Kumoko』 and 『Tsunade』 also turned to stare at Shoutarou.

This Kamen Rider lookalike was a bit too full of himself.

Even 『Carl』 couldn't help but laugh.

『Carl』: Shoutarou, speak for yourself. I'm not that charming.

『Shoutarou』: Nonsense, Carl. Your looks easily rival mine.

『Carl』: ...Well, I must be pretty impressive, then.

Truthfully, Carl already knew why everyone was watching them.

Because of 『Kumoko』.

Sure, cosplay was common in this world of Jujutsu Sorcery.

But a girl with striking snow-white hair like Kumoko?

That was rare.

It didn't look like a wig either. It seemed, natural.

Of course, if Carl removed the hypnosis...

The moment people saw a human-sized spider in the restaurant,

they'd probably scream and scatter.

How did Carl know all this?

Because when they arrived, he had used mind-reading to satisfy his curiosity.

Soon, the chef arrived at their table with ingredients in hand.

Shoutarou had specifically chosen a high-end teppanyaki restaurant.

Here, the food was cooked live at the table.

『Chef』: Honored guests, we are preparing A5-grade Kobe beef today.

『Chef』: Raised in...

The chef launched into an elaborate explanation,

basically saying: this meat was top-tier.

To be fair, his knife skills were pretty slick.

But 『Carl』 wasn't too impressed.

Back in the Marvel world, he'd dined at plenty of Michelin-starred restaurants.

He'd had A5 Wagyu before.

Yes, the texture was different from regular beef.

But after eating it a few times, it lost its novelty.

So he wasn't expecting much here.

Meanwhile, 『Kumoko』, 『Yuji』, and 『Tsunade』 all sparkled with excitement,

their eyes locked on the sizzling meat.

As soon as it was ready, they couldn't wait to dig in.

『Yuji Itadori』: Ah! Hot! But sooo good!

He winced but kept chewing happily.

『Kumoko』: This is real food! Compared to this,

the stuff I ate in the labyrinth was total garbage.

『Kumoko』: No, wait, not even fit for a spider!

『Tsunade』 and 『Shoutarou』 smiled as they tasted the meat.

Carl waited for it to cool, then took a bite.

...It was surprisingly good.

Comparable to the A5 beef he'd had at Michelin restaurants back in the Marvel world.

Given this wasn't a high-end place by those standards,

that was actually impressive.

A pleasant surprise.

So 『Carl』 started eating in earnest too.

After a while, 『Yuji』 glanced around and asked:

『Yuji Itadori』: Hey guys, what do you all do normally?

『Tsunade』: Fight wars in our world.

『Kumoko』: Hunt monsters in the labyrinth. They taste awful!

『Shoutarou』: Travel across dimensions. Fight evil. Save the world.

Everyone shared a bit about themselves.

Except for Carl.

『Yuji Itadori』: What about you, Carl?

『Shoutarou』: He's Superman. Of course he saves the world!

『Kumoko』: Totally. That's the vibe I get.

Carl looked at them all, thoughtful.

Sure, they weren't wrong.

He had taken down quite a few villains.

But as he said in the group chat before, he was a billionaire.

He wasn't about to go looking for trouble every day.

『Carl』: I take care of bad guys now and then.

But most of the time? I do what I want.

『Yuji Itadori』: Like what?

『Carl』: Anything. Flying. Traveling. Eating...

Whatever I feel like.

『Carl』: I mean, I'm rich. Why not enjoy life?

『Yuji Itadori』: That... sounds amazing.

The others nodded in agreement.

With all his power and wealth...

Carl really was someone worth envying.
