The Rented Patriarch Has Something to Say

[Blurb 1]

Qi Xiang, a middle schooler, has always thought she was an ordinary person with superpowers. Then one day, after stepping in to help someone on her way home from school, she runs into a group of mysterious people in suits outside her shabby old apartment building.

Just as Qi Xiang is wondering whether to fight them, one of them speaks earnestly in awkward Chinese: "Young miss..."

Qi Xiang: "...It's time to go to bed?"

She learns that her superpower is actually the Kamo family's inherited technique from next door. The Kamo family is currently without an heir to its inherited technique, and the other two of the Three Great Families have been stealing the limelight, so they've come to bring her back to restore the family's standing.

Qi Xiang falls into thought.

The pressure to get into a good high school really is a bit much. Maybe studying abroad would be a good option...?

Qi Xiang, stage name Kamo Hibiki, makes her grand entrance!

[Blurb 2]

After agreeing, Qi Xiang suddenly remembers the other two families the Kamo family mentioned and asks about them out of curiosity.

One is a blue-eyed, white-haired man with X-ray vision and an AT Field. The other is a brat who specializes in dimensional attacks.

As for the jujutsu world, aside from endless missions, curses that never run out, and plenty of exploitation, it's not much different from the ordinary world. Of course, none of this has anything to do with Kamo Hibiki, the nominal head of the Kamo family. She can simply sit back and enjoy the benefits.

Qi Xiang: Wow, make one billion yen a day.

[Please note]

I'm working on a backlog. This story is the one I'm feeling most inspired to write right now, so I'll try to build up a decent stock of chapters.

The protagonist is a chuuni kid and a battle maniac (?), with a bit of a narcissistic streak. Yep!

There may be some OOC characterization. I'll do my best; please bear with me. I saved the blurb after chatting with a friend.

Several characters may be interested in the protagonist. I'll decide on the specific pairing based on how it feels when I get there, so don't read if that bothers you.

The story mostly follows the worldbuilding of Jujutsu Kaisen, but the main plot is basically different from the original. It includes my own headcanons and worldbuilding. Something like that, w.

Anyone still reading Jujutsu Kaisen in the year 6202 is in luck (not really).
