Doing Everything to Get Back Home

[A short second-person Jujutsu Kaisen romance fanfic. Please see the reading guide at the very bottom of the blurb. Thanks for your support!]

[Blurb]

You are a transmigration heroine.

Like so many girls who transmigrated into the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, you chose to become a jujutsu sorcerer. But you had average talent and never put in the effort, so you relied almost entirely on the System's daily quests to earn points and stay alive. Making it to the end was nothing short of a miracle.

System: "Congratulations, Host~ You can now choose to go back or stay!"

[Go back] or [Stay]?

Was that even a choice? You'd have to be out of your mind to stay in this high-risk world! The only thing that had kept you going all this time was going home, going home, going home!!!

There was no melodramatic outside force standing in your way. Without a second thought, you chose to go home. But instead, you were greeted by the painful sensation of the System being ripped from your brain, followed by a cheerful line that made you want to beat someone to death:

"Once your physical body dies in this world, you can go home. But suicide doesn't count."

You: …???

So after all those years of hard work, of recklessly testing the limits of danger, all you had to do to get home was die!

So furious you nearly had a brain hemorrhage, you struck while the iron was hot and immediately did all sorts of forbidden, rebellious things a jujutsu sorcerer would never do. For example, you invested in the Star Religious Group, skipped work and refused to take missions, and ignored the higher-ups' orders.

You thought you were doomed, but after happily waiting three days, all the people above you sent was a casual email:

[Due to your recent misconduct, the following punishment has been imposed... You are grounded for one day.]

You: ?

Not convinced, you doubled down. You started frequenting the Star Religious Group and having long discussions with its leader, recording your dangerous statements and posting them on the jujutsu sorcerers' dark web. You even went to Jujutsu High to mercilessly torment the junior students, ruining all those promising young flowers.

Heh heh, now you were definitely doomed, right?

Sure enough, while staying up all night waiting for your punishment, you received another message from the higher-ups.

[Due to your recent rampant misconduct, we hereby order the confiscation of all your property. P.S. The jujutsu superintendent wants you to pack up and move to headquarters immediately. He wants to speak with you in private.]

Who was that?! Who the heck was the jujutsu superintendent?!

You immediately realized that the biggest obstacle on your way home was this so-called jujutsu superintendent. So first, you had to take out this rotten orange!

But when you arrived at headquarters in your pajamas and met the legendary rotten-orange superintendent, you: ...

Rotten Orange Gojo Satoru, the newly appointed jujutsu superintendent, was smiling as he greeted you.

All you could think about was how badly you wanted to punch your past self.

What was this, a rebellious student getting disciplined by their teacher years after graduation???
