by SinJin2025

Hiroki has recently discovered that the four women he once knew and loved, his girlfriend (Nao), sister (Koneko), best friend (Ayumu), and mom (Kaede), have been sleeping with the Exchange Student (who is his school bully too) from his school, as they do it for nothing but pleasure. Now the same girls will be reacting to him as... A Jujutsu Sorcerer! (NTR x JJK)

10. S1 EP8 - BOREDOM

Minutes have passed after the end of the previous episode.

The girls is seen eating their own separate dish, sitting in a rather large dining area set up by whoever runs this so-called "domain".

Tons of fancy decoration is added for their luxury dining experience, even though time outside this domain is completely irrelevant.

As for what the girls are having:

Kaede is having dumpling along with miso soup as a side dish and cold water as her refreshing drink. Typical meal for busy mother.

Following her daughter, Kanoko, she is having omelet fried rice topped off with mayo and ketchup, a cold lychee beer as her drink.

Moving on, Ayumu is having Udon; containing Katsu chicken on top, and some mochi for dessert. As for her drink, she is having a grape soda.

Lastly, Nao is having simple but fresh sushi, soy sauce as her condiment and a green tea as her beverage.

Kanoko - "This is pretty nice, actually..." she look at her own meal with wide; surprised eyes.

Ayumu - "Mhm, I kinda want more~" she moaned at the taste as she kept slurping some more of her Udon.

Nao - "I have no idea how they know Sushi is my favorite... But I'm not complaining." she stated with a shrug.

Nao? - "Not that like you deserve such delicacy to begin with..." she clicked her tongue in disdain.

Nao - 'What- You again?!' she stated inside her mind, her expression masking that of irritation.

Nao? - "Mhm, you think I'll just leave you since then?" she responded.

Nao - "How did you even...?!" she muttered, "Just... Just who are you anyway?"

Nao? - 'Ohoho~ Don't you get it? I'm you. Your thought. Your mind. Your consciousness. Think of me as a separate of you...' she explained, having annoyance in her tone, 'I still can't believe you are my host...'

Nao - "Consciousness... Host? W-Wait, does that mean..." her eyes widen in realization.

Nao? - 'Yep~ I'll be living here for as long as you're alive. Exciting, isn't it?' she laughed in glee.

Nao - "No no, I'm going crazy... No way you're real. You're just one of those voices inside my head... Yeah, that's it..." she looked away, trying to act as if her so-called Subconsciousness was just her hallucination.

Nao? - 'Oh, I'm very much real, dear. And how could I forget? I've seen enough of your actions to make me wanna hate you as much as you hate yourself...' she remarked, voice dripping in venom.

Nao - "Shut..." upon hearing that sentence alone is enough to trigger her, "Just SHUT UP and get out of my head!" she fumed, her voice raising above her normal tone.

Nao? - 'Or what? you can't do anything to me anyway~' she laughed.

Nao - "If I could make you disappear in some way, I definitely would, you bitch!" she narrow her eyes.

Nao? - "Well, fuck you too, me." she stuck her tongue out.

As Nao was about to retort back, she finally noticed she has been receiving weird stares from the three. Not weirded out, just concerned.

It is now that Nao realized she has been accidentally talking out loud while focusing too much on whoever is inside her mind.

Kaede - "Anything the matter, dear?" she blinked, pausing on her meal.

Kanoko - "Yeah, you seem pretty... off." she added.

Nao - "N-Nothing!" she attempted to brush it off while trying to mantain a nonchalant facade, but she ended up looking away instead.

Ayumu - "That sounds like a something rather than nothing." she sweatdropped.

Nao - "I said nothing..." she defended under a murmur, a visible; subtle blush appearing.

Nao? - 'You're making a fool of yourself...' she sighed.

Nao - 'SHUT UP!' she screamed inside her mind.

---

After dinner, the girls are assigned in their own bedroom. Despite having their own separate rooms, the interior of said rooms are all similar with little to no difference at all, containing:

Regular-sized bed, carpets, tables and chair with decorations like plants, paintings, etc.

Before Kaede could reach her bed, she was approached by her own daughter.

Kanoko - "Hey, mom..." she spoke unsuringly.

Kaede - "Oh, Kanoko." she turn around, facing towards her in surprise at her sudden appearance.

Kanoko - "You all right, mom?" she questioned her immediately with demanding expression, surprising Kaede to the point of uncertainty.

Kaede - "C-Could you repeat that, Kanoko?" she asked, quite perplexed at her sudden question of the blue.

Kanoko - "Mom... Ever since Hiroki died, you became... different. You look more tensed, more hurt, more... more scared..." she muttered quietly at the last part.

Kaede - "Oh... It's that... I-It's nothing, dear." she reassured, but Kanoko was not buying it.

Kanoko - "Mom..." she sighed with a frown.

Kaede - "I-It's just that..." she stammered, her eyes glistening, "I'm... I'm scared... Hiroki would... would..."

Kanoko could see the tear building up in her eyes as she sighed, not wanting to push her mom to the point of a mental breakdown again.

Kanoko - "Hiroki is still alive, mom. Don't have to worry too much about that..." she remarked in reassurance, "Besides, I was thinking you should get a therapy once we get out of here-"

Kaede - "NO!" she yelled, "Therapy?! What a joke! As if one can help me cure whatever I've just gone through! I-I just need my baby boy, Hiroki! Only he can make me feel good... again... I-..."

She went quiet after realizing her outburst, seeing her daughter look at her back with wide eyes.

Kaede - "I-I'm sorry..." she held her head down in shame and regret.

Kanoko chose to stay quiet as a response, not wanting to say anything to make the situation worse.

Kanoko - "All right, uh... I'm going back to bed now..." she stated before walking away.

No good night.

Kanako always said that when both of them went back to bed.

Kaede look back at her daughter who closed the door to her own bedroom. She was afraid that Kanoko might hate her too for her hostile self. She does not want any of that to happen... She is just... broken...

... She just wants someone to listen that she is drowning, to understand she is at the lowest point in her life...

... Only Hiroki would understand her, but she knew he would not want to meet a monster like her...

... With all the guilt and regret piling up to her, all she ever wish is to...

... to have everything back to normal...

---

"Fuck..."

Back with Kanoko, she is seen rubbing her eyes with her palms. Despite looking calmer than normal, she is exhausted. Both physically and mentally. Usually, she is only either exhausted physically or mentally, never together at the same time.

She overthinks that her mom might have still hated her since that day... No, she HAS to still hate her. Either way, it was her who brought Kokujin to her own mom. The reason why her mom became like... that... is because of her.

It is all her fault.

If she could... just... stop herself from bringing Kokujin to her mom that day, then her mom would not have turned out like that. She could have easen the situation on not only herself, but her mother too...

"D-Damn it... I hate all of this... I feel like I'm gonna throw up..."

---

"HIROKI!"

Kaede immediately jolts up from her sleep, visibly sweating and panting. She instinctively clutch on her blanket in a sitting position, looking around her room franctically before calming down slowly.

The once singular dream turned into a daily nightmare that has been haunting her ever since that day... that particular day... She could not stop seeing Hiroki harming himself in her dream.

She rubbed the bridge of her nose before looking at her side to check the time.

4 AM... was displayed on the digital clock.

Kaede does not know how time operates here, neither does she know if she is within the flow of time or not. Everything is hurting her brain, and she better left without thinking a thing about it.

Kaede sat up tiredly on the side of her bed, rubbing her eyes with her knuckles before stretching up.

Immediately after waking up, she walked out her room and down the hallway. She could feel her headache getting worse and worse, in-need for a cup of water.

However, upon reaching to the kitchen, Kaede saw a figure. She could not tell who it was due to the dark room, only distinctable by their noticeable curves. She almost alerted the others while high on caution, but she turns on the light to confront the "intruder" first.

However, upon recognizing each other's face, they both gasped and widen their eyes.

For what felt like a simple trip to go and grab a nice; cold drink lead to a shocking discovery.

Both exchanging eye contact in an awkward silence... Until one of them speaks up...

"... Auntie?"

---

In the morning, all the other girls gathered next to each other in the large, decorated living room that has been set up beforehand, as they have been staring at the three stranger... or not, for a solid minute.

They all looked puzzled, confused, and shocked. Just when did they get here?! And on what purpose?!

Aiko - "You guys have been staring too much, you know?" she stated with an uncomfortable expression, arms folded.

[ HIROKI'S COUSIN - AIKO ]

Yuna - "B-Big sister, Kaede? What are you doing... no, what are you all doing here?" she asked, equally perplexed as them.

[ HIROKI'S AUNT - YUNA ]

Mizuhime - "Um... This is quite surprising." she scratch her cheek with a sweatdrop, unsure how to react.

[ HIROKI'S TEACHER - MIZUHIME ]

[ButteryCookie is the one who helped me chose these girls' name, so shoutout to them!]

Kaede - "Yuna...?" she responded, blinking as if trying to correct whether what she is seeing is real or not.

Nao & Ayumu - "Mizuhime-sensei?! What are you doing here?!" they both asked simultaneously, both in confusion and shock.

Mizuhime - "Ah, I-I don't quite know? I'm still quite confused at how I even got here in the first place." she chuckled to herself in an attempt to ease herself off, looking around in confusion.

Kaede - 'W-Wait, if they're here, then could it possibly mean...' she muttered to herself with a panicked expression, 'H-How am I gonna explain to them about... Hiroki...?'

Kanoko - "Aiko..." she growled, squint her eyes in annoyance as her arms folded.

Aiko - "You?!" her eye twitch in disbelief, "Oh, how can I have the biggest misfortune in the world by coming across with YOU again?! This just can't get any worse..."

Both Aiko and Kanoko had gone through a rather... unpleasant start. They both are carrying an unrivalry connection due to their relationship with Hiroki. Only difference is that Aiko still has not discovered what Kanoko had done.

Kanoko - "Oh, shut it, flat-ass..." she clicked her tongue.

Aiko - "Turd-face..." she retorted.

Kanoko - "The hell did you just say?!" she gritted her teeth.

Aiko - "You wanna go again?" she pull up her sleeve with a smile, but was stopped by her mom.

Yuna - "Hun, please..." she look back at Kaede, "Sister, do you have a clue... or at least know where we are?"

Kaede - "Um... To be honest, I don't know myself." she shook her head with a clueless smile.

This raised curiosity and suspicion among the three members that have joined them.

Aiko - "Then how did you girls get here in the first place?" she folded her arms, curious for answers.

Kanoko - "This may seem kind of dumb, but we were transported here out of the blue." she responded, sighing.

Aiko - "I can see that, you dolt. We got transported here, too." she deadpanned, making Kanoko scowl comically at her.

Ayumu - "Hold on a second, what happened when you girls get transported here?" she asked out of the blue.

Silence filled the room for few minute, occupied by the sound of gentle breeze as all of them look to their side.

The three - "Well..." they trailed off.

- FLASHBACK (AIKO) -

Aiko is seen in her jacket, walking on the side of the road with a boy besides her, who is looking all shy.

Boy - "H-Hey... Aiko, r-right? I thought... I wanna say thank you for helping me back there..." he scratch his head sheepishly.

Aiko - "It's no big deal, just look forward when you're walking." she responded nonchalantly.

Boy - "T-The... Yeah... Thanks..." he gulped, feeling nervous, "M-Maybe you wanna go out tomorrow? I-It's weekend after all... And... Er... I-I found this coffee shop that-"

Aiko - "Are you asking me out?" she raised her eyebrow, causing the boy to blush.

Boy - "N-N-N-N-N-No?!" he stammered, red-faced and steaming.

Aiko - "Then no." she shook her head, causing the boy to have his eyeglass crack with a comical hurtful expression.

Boy - "O-Oh... I see..." he looked away, cringing on himself.

Aiko - "But, I'll consider it. You're weird, but you're nice." then she faced towards him before patting his shoulder, waling away afterwards, "My home is here, feel free to come if you need anything."

Boy - "Y-Yeah..." he blinked, and after she left, he ran back home, crying in pride, "Waaah! I talked to a girl!"

After closing the door to her house, she immediately sigh and walk back to the girl.

Aiko - 'Man, that guy remind me of Hiroki... speaking of, it's been a long time since I've seen him... I wonder how he's doing...' she hug her hoodie close, imagining it was Hiroki's as she had a dreamy expression on her face, 'Haaaa... School suck! I wanna come to his house and play with that idiot-!'

Yuna - "Aiko honey~!" she abruptly peeks in with a beaming smile.

Aiko - "Kyah! M-Mom?!" she jolted.

Yuna - "Hm? You all right, dear? Hold on, I know that face... have you been hiding something behind your sweet little mother's back~?" she smirked playfully, "A new boyfriend, perhaps? Who's he? What does he look like? Does he love you or you love him back?"

Aiko - "I-I have no crush on nobody, mom! I still think boys are disgusting! Huff... Hmph!" she pouted, looking away.

Yuna - "Oh, really? Bring me his phone number so I can chat with him!" she brought her hand up, looking innocent yet not.

Aiko - "Mom, please!" she looked back with an annoyed expression.

Yuna - "Aha, you're so funny, my sweet Aiko!" she took her leave, hips swaying, "Lunch will be finished soon just to let you know, hun. Be right down when I call you!"

Aiko - "Y-Yeah..." she responded, her voice dying down.

After being left alone by herself, she bang her head onto the wall.

Aiko - 'D-Damn it... I should stop thinking about that idiot...' she cursed to herself, seeing a picture of Hiroki in her mind as she blushed.

As she walked through the hallway of her house, she heard her mom called her again as she groan annoyedly, plastering a calming expression before heading to the kitchen.

Aiko - "Yes, mom?" she blinked as she could not see her mom anywhere, "Mom?"

She walked around, the sudden silence making her feel uneasy.

"Mom, you're not scaring me. I still don't have crush on nobody- Wha-?!"

Before she could walk any further, a portal on the floor caused her to trip and fall forward. Her scream was cut off by the portal closing afterward, transporting her to the "domain".

- FLASHBACK (YUNA) -

In a kitchen, the lone wife, Yuna, is seen cutting cucumber to prepare Lunch.

Yuna - 'What's taking him so long?' she thought to herself, worried that her husband might not be able to come back until next summer.

She received a message from her husband, reading: "Honey, my work has been paid off. I'll be home at October" with a heart emoji on the side.

Yuna could giggle at the message and respond to him,

Yuna - 'Haaa, I miss his touch~' before her thought could drift to a more suggestive side, she shook her head and hums happily, 'That means we'll be able to meet my big sister again, huh? Wonder how she's doing. Oh, Hiroki and Kanoko, too? What kind of treat should I make them when we met?'

Then she smash her hand down onto the table with eyes bright of idea.

"That's it! A surprise! Aiko, hun? Would you mind helping me a bit- Hiya?!"

Before she knows it, a hole from the floor open as she fell into it. Her scream being cut off by the portal closing as Aiko steps into the kitchen, confused at where her mother went.

- FLASHBACK (MIZUHIME) -

Mizuhime - "W-What are you talking about?" she blurted out with a visible blush, but she is more conflicted.

The voluptuous teacher is seen having her back pressed against the wall as a black guy, none other than Kokujin himself, tower her with his dominant allure and height.

Kokujin - "Oh, come on. I know your husband never satisfied you. Leave it to a real man like me to screw you up nicely~" he smiled pervertedly, licking his lower lip.

Mizuhime - "B-But... T-This is indecent... A student and his teacher? Please leave before I call the security..." she scowled, though, her breathing heavy.

Kokujin - "If you don't comply, I'll go rough once we start doing it..." he grab her shoulders, making her squeal as he pucker his lips forward with the intention of smashing his lips into hers.

However, he suddenly lost contact of her physically. So he opened his eyes and saw that Mizuhime was gone out of the blue, confusing him beyond belief.

Kokujin - "What the hell?" he looked around before shrugging, placing his hands in his pocket before walking out, 'Oh, she escaped me, all right... I'll make sure she'll have a real piece of me when I found her. For now, I'm gonna find other bitches to fuck.'

- END OF FLASHBACK -

Mizuhime - "And... that's my story." she finished, looking back after being in her momentary gaze.

Kanoko - 'Kokujin tried to seduce her, too?' she sweatdropped.

Nao - 'Classic Kokujin... Now that I think about it, how has he not been arrested, anyway?' she sweatdropped too alongisde Kanoko.

Aiko - "Anyhow, I'm not really a fan of being here with... this girl over here." she points at the offended Kanoko with her thumb, "So does any of you girls know a way we could get out of here?"

Nao - "Well, no and yes." she answered, causing Aiko to look at her.

Yuna - "Um... Care to explain?" she responded, dumbfounded.

Ayumu - "Well, we don't really know where to get out, but we know how!" she mentioned, a finger raised in the air.

Aiko - "What are we actually doing in here?" she asked.

The three girls are guided back onto the theater as they looked around, confused.

Kanoko - "Okay, this might sound pretty dumb but we're here to react." she answered.

Again, another silence.

Aiko - "React?" she repeated, as Kanoko along with the other three (Ayumu, Nao, and Kaede) nodded in confirmation, "And then?"

Ayumu - "We're allowed to leave after we're finished reacting." she added.

Aiko - "Says who?" she tilt her head, not believing her words.

Suddenly, the giant screen lights up immediately right after her question.

"Says me."

That caused the three new guests to jump in their seat, startled.

Aiko - "Okay, that's freaky?" she slump back to her seat, "Maybe there's hidden cameras around here?"

"Please remain calm, no cameras have been installed around the vicinity."

Yuna - "W-What are we doing here, then?" she asked, her voice raising in suspicion.

"As Kanoko said, you will be reacting here."

Mizuhime - "Just... Just react?" she tilt her head in confusion, "M-May we ask why? More specifically, why us, too?"

"For now, that information is hidden. All I can say is you will be staying here with the other until reaction is over."

"Questioning is allowed after the next episode has finished."

Aiko - "Episode? The... what?" she tilt her head, obviously confused.

Yuna - "H-Hey, we're gonna call the police if you don't..." she checked her phone, and saw that she has no signal, "H-Huh?"

Kaede - "Calm down, Sis. I can assure you, too, that whoever is operating this place is not gonna harm us." she place her hand on her sister's shoulder.

Yuna - "B-But...?" she sighed, defeated, "What are we gonna react to?"

Kanoko - "Well, Aunt Yuna, you'll see." she sit back on her seat, "All I can say is that... just prepare yourself. Now just you, but... you too." she points at Aiko while looking away.

The screen lights up again, driving attention to the girls.

"Next episode starting, please return back to your seat."

Aiko - "But we still have lots of question?" she remarked.

Kanoko - "The faster we'll just get into the reaction, the faster the "episode" ends and the faster you will have your questions answered." she sweatdropped annoyedly.

The three girls look at each other, unsure if they should just go on along and proceed.

Aiko - "Kanoko, I'm blaming it on you if we ended up getting tortured in our sleep." she deadpanned, "I still don't trust this place."

Kanoko - "You think I don't too? We don't even have a choice before hand..." she poke Aiko's cheek annoyedly.

Kaede - "Girls, it's starting. Please stay quiet in your seat." she sat back, focusing her attention back at the screen lighting up.

And with that, all the girls are glued to their seat, watching as the screen projects the seemingly next episode.

The episode starts off with the view of Jujutsu tech under the bright, sunny day. The camera pans over to the wooden sign on the side of the school, reading: "Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical School"

Which then, the camera cuts to the sight of two familiar fellow, Kugisaki Nobara and Fushiguro Megumi, in their usual training attire as Nobara grab a drink from a vending machine.

Upon seeing the girls, lots of questions filled their mind that is already full of other questions. Who are they? Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical School? What kind of school is that?

More importantly, why are they showing them this?

Yuna - "Who are they?" she asked curiously.

Nao - "Ah, their names are Kugisaki Nobara and Fushiguro Megumi, they're sorcerers." she remarked.

Aiko - "Sorcerer...?" she tilt her head, confused, "Are you pulling my legs?"

Kanoko - "I wish we were..." she responded, folding her arms under her breasts along the way.

Mizuhime - "What are... sorcerers again?" she asked, curious about the mention of sorcerers.

Ayumu - "They're basically like wizards, using cursed energy to exorcise curses around Japan." she answered.

Aiko - "Oh great, we're watching those boring-ass fantasy anime show..." she folded her arms, looking away uninterestedly.

Kaede - 'Now that I think about it, how will they react to Hiroki if he is displayed on the screen?' she thought to herself.

Nobara - "Couldn't they put in a few more vending machines?" she mentioned, grabbing the cold drink as she turned toward Megumi.

Megumi - "They can't. There are so many workers who can come in here." he explained.

Aiko - "Why can't they?" she raise her eyebrow, confused.

Ayumu - "So, apparently this whole sorcerer and curse thingy has been hidden from the regular human society." she recalled, "That goes the same to their school. Creepy, I know."

Aiko - "What are "curse" even?!" she asked, even more confused.

Kanoko - "You'll see what they are, just keep looking at the screen." she resonded, causing Aiko to look back despite her momentary annoyance.

Yet again, the camera cuts to the viewof Panda, along with Maki and Inumaki walking side by side in a different location. Possibly further from Nobara and Megumi.

Panda - "Huh?" he looked around, "Where are the first-years?"

Maki - "On errands" she responded briefly with disinterest.

Upon the display of Panda on the screen, the three new guests' jaw dropped.

Yuna - "P-P-Panda?!" she widen her eyes, perplexed at what she is seeing.

Aiko - "I-Is that a... walking... talking Panda?" she spoke slowly, as confused as her mother, Yuna.

Nao - "Mhm, that's a Panda named Panda." she recalled with a nod, "And the guy and girl he's walking with... If I remember correctly, Inumaki and Maki. They're second-year."

Aiko - "Why would we focus on that when we have a literal walking and talking Panda?!" she stare at the screen again, "And why aren't walking with it like it's a normal thing?!"

Kanoko - "Well, it's normal for them." she shrugged.

Mizuhime - "It's kind of cute, honestly." she cooed with a small smile.

Inumaki - "Bonito flakes." he responded, eye half-open.

Panda - "Will they be okay?" he asked in concern.

Inumaki - "Salmon." he reassured.

Yuna - "Now we got a... a kid speaking...? Hah, what is even going on at this point?" she sighed to herself, giving up on trying to make sense of anything.

Mizuhime - "What is he talking about?" she asked yet again, also confused.

Nao - "Rice ball ingredients." she remarked once more, "He can't speak anything else because it might trigger his power if I recall correctly."

Aiko - "Wait wait wait, I'm still trying to comprehend what just happened..." she looked down, "First, sorcerers. Next, curses. Third, panda. Then we have... that?!"

Kanoko - "I told you, prepare yourself from what you're going to be seeing." she sighed.

Aiko - "Oh, shut up..." she responded with narrowed eyes.

Maki - "They're not three years." she explained, "They can handle an errand run"

Panda - "No, that's not what I meant." he stated, still worried, "It's today, right? The day principal Kyoto's principal comes to go over the exchange events."

Inumaki - "Tuna." he nodded.

Kanoko - 'What does that mean?' she thought to herself, ' I have a feeling something will happen to Urchin and that girl...'

Out of nowhere, a flashback occur where the grim display of the rotting corpse back at the Juvenile center was shown, as the three first-year was about to fight the special-grade curse.

The view of the rotting corpse was so out of nowhere, they ended up not paying attention to one familiar guy at the screen as one of them clutch their stomach in grimace.

Aiko - "W-What the hell...?" she widen her eyes in fear.

Mizuhime - "W-What was that?" she asked, covering her mouth with a horrified expression as she is seen visibly shaking.

Yuna - "W-Was that a real dead corpse...?" she shudder, feeling a bead of sweat running down her cheek.

Aiko - "A-And that thing? What the hell is that thing?!" she points at the special-grade.

Nao - "That, right there, is a curse. A special-grade one at that, which is classified as one of the strongest." she explained.

Kanoko - "And before you ask, yes, the curse did that to those guys." she added, feel herself shaking in disgust.

Mizuhime - "A-And why would there be kids within the area of that curse?!" she asked, concerned about the three first-years.

Panda - "Satoru's fighting with the higher-ups because they arranged for the first-years to get dispatched on that special-grade, right?" he recalled, "And the principal of Kyoto is one of the higher-ups, isn't he? So if they run into each other..."

Nao - "What they're saying is that there's gonna be a fight going on between two schools?" she guessed.

Kanoko - "A recipe for disaster..." she added.

Maki - "I doubt he has any plans to do anything with the other two, since the first year they were targeting is dead." she mentioned, as she looked forward again, "Besides, the old man from Kyoto won't cause a scene in broad daylight."

Inumaki - "Salmon." he agreed.

Yuna - "Wait, died?" she repeated, her body tensing.

Aiko - "S-Someone died there, too? Their underclassmen, even?!" she stated, "What is going on, even?!"

While unnoticed, Kaede's body shook at the mention of the time Hiroki "died" again.

Ayumu - "Yeah, but he lived!" she mentioned reassuringly, beeming with happy smile.

The girls went silent for a moment, focusing their gaze on Ayumu.

Mizuhime - "Come again?" she tilt her head, dumbfounded.

Kanoko - "It's unbelievable, but he did live again." she nodded in confirmation.

Aiko - "Was there episodes before this that we haven't watched?" she asked, quite convinced at her own question.

Nao - "Actually, yeah..." she responded, "But I know that whoever running this place was not too much of an idiot, so I'm sure you three won't be left out without an explanation after this episode ended."

Yuna - "Oh, I see." she nodded before looking back at the screen.

Panda - "An instructor might have his position to worry about." he mentioned, "But that's not the case for the students."

Maki - "Are you saying... Mai is coming?" she looked back, her eyes catching in interest yet disinterest.

Panda - "It's just a guess." he theorized as he looked up, "Students aren't necessary for meeting. But still... They love harassing us, right?"

Then the camera cuts and pan to the sight of two new individual on the other side of the entrance from where Nobara and Megumi is standing at.

"Both Todo and Mai."

Aiko - "Whoa, that guy looks like a gorilla." she widen her eyes in surprise.

Nao - "His physique... He's a lot more beefier than Kokujin..." she sweatdropped, slightly intimidated by his gaze.

Megumi - "What are you doing here, Zenin?" he asked, surprised at their sudden appearance.

Nobara - "Oh, she's one too?" she asked, looking at the green haired girl, called Mai with a sultry gaze, "They do seem similar. Are they sisters?"

Megumi - "They're twins." he explained.

Mai - "Don't call me that, Fushiguro. You make me sound the same as Maki." she smiled as she brought her palm to her cheek, "Call me Mai."

Ayumu - 'Twin sister...' she thought, imagining Maki without glasses.

Nao - "Is she flirting with him or something?" she tilt her head, guessing based on Mai's suggestive tone.

In the bunch, one girl found herself growing jealous by Nao's statement. It was none other than Kanoko.

Kanoko - 'Only I can flirt with him...' she pouted to herself.

Todo - "So these are the pitch-hitters for Okuyasu and the third-years?" he recalled, looking more annoyed than most.

Mai - "We can here with the principal because we were worried about you." she explained, fingertip on her smiling lips, "Your classmate died, right? Was that rough? Or did you think nothing of it?"

The abrupt mention of their "friend" who had died caught them off guard, putting up a more tensed expression.

While confused for the three guests, the other four girls narrow their eyes in anger.

Kaede - 'Who is this bitch talking to my son like that?' her eye twitch.

Kanoko - 'This bitch did not just...' she clutch the arms of her seat.

Ayumu - 'She's talking like she never got punched before...' her expression turned darker than normal.

Nao - 'The nerve of that bitch...' she clenched her teeth underneath her closed mouth.

Mai - "It's okay. Some things are hard to say out loud, so I'll say it for you." she stated, keeping her sweet grin, "Vessel makes it sound nice, but it just means he is a half-cursed monster. Having such a tainted, inhuman being besides you brazenly calling himself a jujutsu sorcerer must have been revolting, right? Aren't you feeling better now that he is dead?"

In return, both Megumi and Nobara looked at them in irritation.

Ayumu - "H-Hey! That's going too far!" she points at the screen with a scowl.

Kanoko - "Who does she think she is?!" she snapped, voice filled with anger.

Yuna - "Kaede, do you know who this said-person she is talking about?" she asked her fellow sister, Kaede, who shift on her seat uncomfortably as her response.

Kaede - "Um... Maybe I'll tell you later..." she looked away shamefully, and Yuna could tell.

Yuna was so confused. Kaede never acted like that. Her own sister never look this depressed and anxious... What happened?

Todo - "Mai, don't bring up such pointless topics." he remarked, breaking Mai out of her smiling face as he step forward, "I'm only here to see if these guys are fit to take Okkotsu's place."

Ayumu - "It's the big guy's turn to step in." she stated, wondering what he is gonna do next.

Kanoko - "Ah crap, now what is he planning?" she rolled her eyes.

Todo - "That's all I want to know" he explained with a serious gaze, "Fushiguro, was it? What kind of woman is your type?"

As a response, both Megumi and Nobara tilt their head with a comical dumbfounded expression.

Silence occupied the theatre, only filled by the awkward cricket background noise.

Kaede - "Excuse me?" she tilt her head.

Nao - "Great... Another creep." she looked away with a deadpanning stare.

Aiko - "What a weird guy." she sweatdropped.

Ayumu - "Who starts a conversation like that?" she asked with a baffled face.

Todo - "Depending on your answer, I will beat you half to death right here and drag Okkotsu, or at least the third-years, out of the exchange event." he slowly reaches to his purple clothing and rips it off, showing his scary; muscular physique with a menacing grin, "By the way, my type is a tall woman with a big ass!"

Yuna - "... What is happening?" she looked at the others, who is seen shaking their head in response.

Nao - 'Tall woman with big ass... That's sounds familiar...' she quickly remembered that description fits Hiroki's preference in woman, her face contorting to a comically; horrified one as she shivers, 'Gosh, I could see the two of them being best friend... Hopefully he don't meet that gorilla...'

[ KaiKai Kitan - EVE ]

The intro plays out.

---

Once the intro start, the three guests could not help but stare at the screen in awe. The scene displayed along with the music is all cryptic, much like what the other four girls thought when they first saw them.

However, two of the three guests quickly took notice of a familiar... boy.

Yuna - "Hey, who is that boy? I feel like I've seen him?" she asked, pointing at the certain pink-haired boy.

Aiko - "Huh." she nodded in agreement, squeezing her eyes to make sense of it, "I don't know why, but there's something familiar about him."

Ayumu - "That is Hiroki." she answered nonchalantly.

Again, another silence. The two girls look at Ayumu in a state of shock, staying stood still as Mizuhime tilt her head in confusion.

Mizuhime - "H-Hiroki? You mean-" she was suddenly cut off by...

Yuna & Aiko - "WHAT?!" they both shouted in unison, staring back at the two of Hiroki's close relative.

Kaede - "Y-Yes, it's true..." she nodded, eyes wide in surprise due to their reaction.

Yuna - "W-Wait wait wait!" she points at the screen again, "THAT is Hiroki?! I-Itadori Hiroki, right?!"

Kanoko - "Don't try to be in denial, we're as surprised as you were when we first saw him." she folded her arms.

Mizuhime - "Oh my, he changed..." she widen her eyes, seeing the difference on when she last saw him and how he looks now.

Aiko - "H-He became..." she hides her flushed face, "D-Damn it... he looks even better now."

Yuna - "I-I didn't think he would turn out like that..." she stared at the screen, completely baffled at Hiroki's change, 'He look more handsome, too...'

Mizuhime - "W-Wait, he has pink hair all this time?" she tilt her head forward, not realizing it until now.

Kaede - "You seem to know him well. Miss Mizuhime, was it?" she look to her side, curious about her relation with her son.

Mizuhime - "A-Ah, yes! I see him more of my acquaintance unlike any student, you see. He always helped me with my paperwork, even if I insist. Oh, and how could I forget? He never miss a day to greet me every morning!" she giggled to herself, embarrassed, "I hope you don't mind much, mrs. Itadori."

Kaede - "I-I don't mind..." she look down, which was quickly noticed by Mizuhime herself, 'I won't... at least, not after what I've done...'

Mizuhime - "A-Are you okay? I didn't say anything bad, did I?" she pointed at herself with a sweatdropping smile.

Kaede - "Oh, no no! I just... remembered something. But it's not your fault, don't worry!" she quickly reassured through her fake smile, one that made Mizuhime believe her.

Aiko - "What was that?!" she exclaimed in shock with a hint of concern while pointing at the scene where Hiroki's hand is missing as he is bleeding profusely.

Yuna - "I-Is he okay?!" she close her mouth with her hands in horror.

Kanoko - "Don't worry, Auntie! He's still alive and kicking! You saw that before, right?" she gave her a beaming smile.

Aiko - "A-And who was that?" she asked, mentioning Sukuna which made the four girls tense.

Ayumu - "Oh, uh..." she trailed off, trying to get rid of the sudden awkwardness.

Kaede - "W-Well, he is... um..." she tried to explain without making them more terrified.

Kanoko - "You see-" she was about to answer, but was cut off by Nao.

Nao - "King of Curses, Sukuna. He's the king of curses." she answered blantly.

Silence fills the air yet again, and the three girls now switch their attention to Nao.

Aiko - "The what?" she sweatdropped.

Nao - "You remember those giant monsters on the screen you just saw? He is the kind of all of them." she explained.

Slowly, the three girls' expression turned horrid.

Mizuhime - "S-Say what?" she clutch her own fist with her palm, shivering at the thought.

Yuna - "A-And why is he there with Hiroki? Let alone why is he smiling at him like that? Like he want something from Hiroki?" she asked, worried for the boy.

Kanoko - "He's uh... well, we still don't know clearly yet." she shrugged, lacking the information to say so.

Aiko - "And here I thought you know all the answer to things beforehand, Ka-no-ko." she narrowed her eyes.

Kanoko - "Oh, shut up." she scoffed, "But all I could say is that-"

Ayumu - "He's inside Hiroki!" she exclaimed immediately, trying to sound dramatic.

However, all the response she get was the three girls blushing at Ayumu's ridiculous wording, making her realize, too.

Aiko - "Care to elaborate?" she scratch her own cheek.

Ayumu - "W-Wait! I didn't mean...! I-I mean...!" she stammered, shaking both her hands and head, "Sukuna is inside of Hiroki! Literally!"

Yuna - "Huh? You mean the King of Curse is... inside?" she trails off, "Wah?! The King of Curse is inside Hiroki?!"

Aiko - "No way!" she stare at the screen in disbelief, "How did a curse, the King of Curse even, end up inside him?!"

Ayumu - "Well, let's just say he ate something..." she sweatdropped comically and looked away.

Aiko - "Okay, but before you tell me something weird-" she was cut off.

Kanoko - "He ate a rotten finger, that's how Sukuna got in." she chuckled as she saw Aiko gag in disgust.

Mizuhime - "F-Finger?" she looked at Kanoko with a confused and perplexed expression.

Kaede - "Let's put questions aside for now. In fact, the intro is ending so we should continue watching." she chuckled to try and get rid of the tenseful atmosphere.

And so, the girls look back at the screen, anticipating for the start of the episode.

The episode starts with the view of Todo's menacing grin, still intact even before the opening with the title: "Episode 8: Boredom" appearing in the bottomright side of the screen.

Megumi - "Why do I have to talk about my taste in woman with the guy I just met?" he tilt her head, his eyebrows quivering in confusion.

His response made Todo frown once again.

Ayumu - "He doesn't seem happy with his answer..." she sweatdropped, feeling intimidated by Todo's stare.

Aiko - "He's a weird guy, all right." she folded her arms, already feeling creeped out by Todo.

Nobara - "He's right." she weakly points at Megumi with a bored look, "That's a tall hurdle for an antisocial guy."

Megumi - "Be quiet, you." he sends a comical ticked-off expression to Nobara while mantaining eye-contact with Todo, "This is confusing enough already. You'll just make it more complicated."

Yuna - "I feel bad for that boy. He looks completely normal than the rest." she frowned her eyebrows at Megumi's situation.

Nao - 'I don't think the term "normal" exist for the jujutsu sorcerers... nor curses.' she sweatdropped.

Todo - "Kyoto, Third-year, Todo Aoi." he introduced, his frown still present, "Introduction over. Now we're friends."

Ayumu - "Wha-? Just like that?" she tilt her head, baffled at Todo's unique way of making friends.

Kanoko - "As much as I hate you, Aiko, you're right. This guy's a weirdo." she sweatdropped.

Megumi is seen visibly sweatdropping at Todo's antics.

Todo - "Hurry up and answer. If you prefer men, that's fine, too." he assured, making Megumi more uncomfortable.

Kanoko - 'What? No way urchin is gay, right?... That'll be stupid, haha...' she chuckled to herself mentally, sweatdrop visible running down her cheek in a comical style, 'Please don't tell me he is...'

Ayumu - "Now I'm starting to think he's quite the weird guy, too..." she sweatdropped along the three (Kanoko, Aiko, and Nao).

Todo - "A person's fetishes reflect everything about them." he explained, imagining through ladies with different bodies, "People with boring taste in women are boring people themselves."

Kanoko - "Well, he's not wrong." she folded her arms.

Kaede - "Don't support his ideas, Kanoko..." she sweatdropped.

Kanoko - "I'm not..." she looked away with a squinted gaze.

Nao - 'No way, he used the same tactic as Hiroki. Is it a coincidence?! Those two are perfectly paired to be friends?!' she sweatdropped inside her mind.

Todo - "And I hate boring men!" he exclaimed, now imagining a large battle surrounding in a ring of fires and broken houses, "The exchange event is where my soul can be free as blood boils and flesh clashes. Who knows what I might do if my last exchange event ends up boring me?"

Nao - "So he went through asking AND explaining all of that... just to find out if Fushiguro is a boring man?" she recalled.

Aiko - "That seems over the top. What if that that guy lied and ended up being as boring as he initially thought?" she guessed, motioning Fushiguro and then back to Todo.

Ayumu - "Knowing him, he might do it. He would rather avoid conflict from a guy that look menacing as Todo, anyway." she nodded her head.

Nobara - "Hey, aren't the Jujutsu Tech schools four-year schools?" she asked from the side, her palm over her mouth as if imitating a whisper.

Megumi - "Only third-years and under can join the Exchange Event." he answered back, his stare remain focused on the two Kyoto students.

Todo - "As a show of kindness, I'll let you off only half-dead for now." he reassured, still in his fighting stance, "Answer me, Fushiguro. What kind of woman is your type?"

Aiko - "That's definitely a sentence that could land anyone in jail." she deadpanned.

Yuna - "Definitely." she nodded alongside her daughter.

Megumi - "Is this some kind of comedy routine?" he responded, still avoiding his question.

Nobara - "Is that your summer uniform?" she focuses more on Mai's dress, "Ticks me off, but it's nice."

Megumi - 'Kugisaki's unarmed.' he thought, 'I'd rather avoid confrontation.'

Nao - "Smart move for him." she nodded, approved of his approach in that situation.

Ayumu - "It's best if he just walk away without saying anything." she suggested.

Aiko - "That's bad! What if he beats them up half to death like he said previously?" she argued.

Kanoko - "Even if he was, he'll be fine..." she rolled her eyes.

Mizuhime - "And the girl?" she mentioned.

Nao - 'I don't really care about what happened to her...' she sighed to herself.

Just then, a flashback of a pony-tailed girl, presumably his close relative, turn her back with a smile.

Pony-tailed girl - "Not forgiving isn't a bad thing" she recalled, "That's just part of your kindness, isn't it?"

Then it transitions back to Megumi letting out a deep breath of good luck.

Megumi - "I don't have a particular preference." he finally answered with a strong gaze, "As long as she has unshakable character, I won't ask for more."

The girls finally lets out their breath after the momentary suspensful moment.

Ayumu - "From just answering question, that was sure intense." she chuckled to herself in an attempt to ease herself.

Nao - 'If that is considered tenseful, she may have never watched detective films.' she deadpanned.

Kanoko - 'Now I got reason to like him even more now...' she thought to herself, licking her lower lip suggestively.

Aiko - "Won't... he get upset now?" she sweatdropped, anticipating some kind of beating to happen.

Mai touches her cheek as she smiled suggestively, a heart shape appearing on the side to indicate she has grew fond by his answer.

Aiko - "Ah, seems like that girl caught feelings for that Urchin-guy in some way?" she raise her eyebrow in a questioning manner.

Kanoko - "Stop calling him Urchin, only I can call him that." she snarled, head dropping down shoulder level.

Aiko - "What? You got a crush on him or something?" she eyed Kanoko with suspicion.

Kanoko - "Nooooooo..." she looked away, hiding her blush.

Nobara - "Not a bad answer." she raise a finger with a smiling, closed-eyes expression, "If you had said something like "big boobs", I'd have killed you."

Megumi could only gave off his comically irritated expression back to her.

Megumi - "Shut up." he whispered, sounding louder than he intentionally would.

Suddenly, the music stop and the camera cuts back to Todo as tears fall down his face.

The sudden silence, occupied by the background noise caught them off guard. Even more when they see Todo crying silently out of the blue.

Ayumu - "Is he... Is he crying?" she blinked, unsure of what to react.

Aiko - "I knew he would be upset, but I didn't think he would just... cry." she asked, "Though, is that a good thing or bad thing?"

Nao - "Bad thing, everything here is always a bad thing..." she shook her head.

Ayumu - "Nor does anything make sense..." she added.

Todo - "I knew it..." he put up his stance even more prominent, "You're boring, Fushiguro."

With terrifying speed, Megumi was immediately put high on alert.

He could only form cross with his arms in an attempt to defend himself in the last second, but it is all futile as Todo appeared in front of him and send him flying away with just the sheer force of his bicep in motion.

Which of course, caused him to stumble along the pebble ground far from where they are standing.

Gasps erupt from the girls, as they all stare at the screen in shock.

Kanoko - "U-Urchin?!" she exclaimed, eyes wide.

Ayumu - "H-Hey! That's quite uncalled for?!" she stated, shocked by Todo's action.

Aiko - "D-Did he get upset that much?!" she questioned, "It's just his own opinion?!"

Yuna - "H-How violent!" she gasped, palm hovering over her mouth.

Nobara gasp in shock as she quickly turn her back.

Nobara - "Fushiguro!" she exclaimed.

Her freedom was short-lived as she was hugged by Mai from behind. Not wanting to risk any form of attack while she is unarmed, she stay stood there with the look of scowl in her face.

Mai - "Poor Fushiguro-kun...~" she murmured with a barely-convincible sorry tone, smile still visible, "Even a talented second-grade jujutsu sorcerer is nothing more than a first-year against the top-grade Todo-senpai...~ I'll have to comfort him later."

Yuna - "This girl is encouraging his friend's behavior?!" she widen her eyes further, "That kid is gonna die if he keeps up!"

Kaede - "I-I forgot to tell you this, but the jujutsu world is filled with crazy people, sis." she explained.

Mizuhime - "What unacceptable act for these students!" she stated, never seen such violent acts in her life before.

Mizuhime has seen, let alone dealt with lots of students fighting over her years of being a teacher. But never in her life has she seen two students fighting this... violent before.

Nobara - "I thought you two were similar, but that's not the case at all." she looked forward again at the two men fighting, outside of the tunnel they are standing, "Maki's a hundred times prettier."

Her comment made Mai loses her smile, replaced by an annoyed frown.

Nobara - "Are you not sleeping enough? You've got open pores." she mocked calmly, making Mai even more so irritated.

Aiko - "I-Is she insulting her now?" she tilt her head, confused by Nobara's motives, "That sounds like a bad thing..."

Ayumu - "M-Maybe she is trying to distract her?" she guessed.

Mai - "I'll teach you..." she narrow her eyes.

Suddenly, Nobara felt a cold metal on her side. Looking down, her eyes went wide again as she saw Mai pulled out a revolver and place the barrel directly on her side. Finger on the trigger, ready to fire.

Mai - "... how to speak to others." she threaten, her voice more menacing than normal.

The girls straighten their posture at the suspenseful atmosphere, sweatdrop rolling down their cheek.

Ayumu - "Ooo... not so great..." she whispered to herself.

Kanoko - "D-Does she have that gun the entire time?!..." she questioned.

Yuna - "M-Maybe you're right, sis. Sorcerers really are insane..." she nodded, believing Kaede's words now.

Back with Megumi, he slowly gets up and look at the approaching Todo, his body bruised and battered.

Todo - "I knew at first glance... that you were just a bland guy with a bland taste..." he asked with a saddened expression as he wiped his tears, "So I went out of my way to ask you, but you just trampled on my kindness."

The girls could only comically stared blankly at Todo's words.

Ayumu - "What is he talking about right now?" she tilt her head in confusion.

Nao - "Is he delusional?" she sweatdropped in a deadpan expression.

None of anything Todo said OR did is considered kind, anyway.

Megumi - "Is your brain as pinapple as your head?" he asked, eyes squinting for any possible incoming attack.

Kanoko - "... Not gonna lie, his head do look like a burned pinapple." she commented, her fear subsiding momentarily.

Megumi - 'Todo... That Todo?' he asked himself, 'That one invovled in last year's unprecendeted jujutsu terror attack cursed by the curse user, Geto. The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons from Kyoto to Shinjuku.

Then hordes of fallen curses is seen, the camera slowly panning up to the silhouette of Todo on top of all the transfigured bodies.

Megumi - 'The one who exorcised a special-grade and five first-grade cursed spirits by himself when the parade appeared in Kyoto?' he stated in disblief, "That Todo?"

The girls, minus the three new guests, widen their eyes in surprise.

Nao - "He is able to kill even special-grade curses?!" she widen her eyes in surprise, "What grade is he in?"

Ayumu - "He must be crazy powerful, then!" she looked up at the screen in awe.

Kanoko - "Now I'm starting to wonder what cursed technique he has." she thought to herself, trying to guess what cursed technique might fit for a monster like him.

Aiko - "How powerful are these special-grades, anyway?" she questioned.

Ayumu - "Well, if I remember correctly, they are able to be exorcised using cluster bombs or some sort." she answered.

Aiko - "Are you pulling my legs?!" she questioned in disblief.

Kanoko - "I wish we were." she sighed, arms folding.

Yuna - "Are they really humans?! If one can kill creature that could only be defeated using missiles?" she asked in utter disbelief, unable to acknowledge the power these people of her kind has.

Megumi - 'Still, there are several first-grade sorcerers capable of beating a special-grade. What's shocking is...' he slowly push himself up from the ground, "I heard you don't use cursed techniques."

Todo - "Huh? Oh, that rumor's false." he made motion using his hand with a casual expression, "I used them against special-grade."

Megumi - 'He doesn't even used them against first-grades?!' he thought in disblief, visibly sweatdropping, "Is he a monster?!"

Ayumu - "That guy's a living hulk!" she commented, now in slight fear at the power of Todo.

Nao - "W-We're comparing a first-year to a third-year. Of course we know which one is more powerful if they can survive for that long!" she stated.

Megumi - "That's a relief to hear!" he stated before making a hand gesture, "Nue, plus Gama!"

Ayumu - "He's using his cursed technique!" she gasped in excitement.

Kanoko - "Nice! He's summoning that bird and something else!" she clench her fist in victorious.

Nao - 'Will that be enough to take him down, though?' she thought, observing the fight intently.

Yuna - "Hand signs?" she tilt her head, confused.

Aiko - "Is this what they call cursed techniques? Lame, what do they do?" she rolls her eyes in disinterest. However, she does not know what is coming next.

After his calling, Megumi's shadow shift and transform until it all became many frogs with wings in addition to markings in their belly.

Megumi - "- Bottomless well -!" he finished his calling, putting a fighting stance.

Aiko - "What the-?!" she widen her eyes, perplexed at what she is seeing.

Yuna - "Frogs... with wings?" she blinked in confusion, "That's definitely new."

Mizuhime - "D-Did those monsters came out of that boy's shadow?!" she asked, needing confirmation.

Ayumu - "Well, yes." she nodded, "But they're Fushiguro's good little minion monsters, mrs Mizuhime!"

Aiko - "None of them look good, nor little, nor minions, but correct on the monsters." she commented, folding her arms again.

Todo could merely glance at his shikigami as he crack his neck, looking casual which is the opposite of how Megumi looks.

All sharp and prepared.

Megumi - 'I'm up against a hardcore close-ranged fighter.' he told himself mentally. "I'll keep my distance and restrain him."

Ayumu - "He looks... strangely calm." she commented, feeling uneasy.

Nao -"Yeah, almost as if he already has a plan beforehand." she nodded in agreement.

From just merely observing him, in a blink of an eye, Todo manages to fling all Megumi's shikigami up into the air and appeared behind him at an alarming speed.

Ayumu - "WHAT?!" she yelled out of disblief.

Kanoko - "C-Crap, I knew he should've summon something bigger than just... frogs!" she stated, clutching the arms of her seat.

Aiko - "He can summon things bigger than just that?!" she look at Kanoko, refusing to acknowledge her statement.

Mizuhime - "W-What speed?! He's like a bullet!" she asked, shocked at the superhuman speed displayed on the screen.

Kanoko - "Urchin! Get out from there!" she yelled desperately, but it was all futile anyway.

Megumi - 'He's fast!' he shouted inside his mind, attempting to turn his back despite still recovering from the hit, 'That wasn't his full speed earlier?!'

Then his waist was latched onto by Todo's muscular arms from behind.

"He got him!"

"Shit!"

"Language!"

Todo - "Flimsy and shallow... Both your body," then he swung his torso up, bringing Megumi into the air, "and your taste in women!"

Todo ended up executing a german suplex on Megumi, as dusts and debris flies off from just that move alone.

The girls face went pale at the sight.

Ayumu - "D-Don't you think that a little too much?" she asked quietly, visibly shaking.

Kanoko - "No! Urchin!" she wailed.

Nao - "I-I know he's upset, but I didn't think he's THAT upset..." she stated.

Yuna - "I-Is he fine?" she asked, slowly peeking out of her fingers.

Aiko - "S-Surely not! How could anyone survive from... that?!" she pointed.

Somehow, Megumi is still conscious from being hit in the back of his head like a truck. Todo suddenly disappears again with his overwhelming speed and appeared meters high in the air above Megumi.

Luckily, Megumi is able to dodge in time by rolling behind and avoiding Todo's skull-crushing stomp.

Getting back up, Megumi kept blocking hits left right in center. Though, it is clear he is struggling by the sheer force from Todo's punches. Each punch felt like a brick thrown at him, as his own blood splattered at each successful hit.

Ayumu - "H-He doesn't only look like a gorilla, he punches like one..." she commented.

Aiko - 'Normal people would die from one of those punches...' she stated inside her mind, shivering in fear.

Nao - "And that's him only using his raw power! Who knew what he would do if he got his hands on whatever cursed techniques he has!" she stated.

The jujutsu world gets more and more crazy as time went on, and the fight happening between just two students proves that.

While still sending hooks and jabs, Todo is seen smiling and chuckling like a maniac the entire time he is sending punches to Megumi.

Megumi - 'Damn it... His power's insane!' he cursed inside his mind, attempting to think of a plan until...

His head was grabbed by Todo's and was immediately send to a pillar of plank, that being the wooden school building's foundation. Upon contact, the wood showed noticeable crack as Megumi grunt in pain.

Aiko - "Hey, hey! They're fighting in their school, right?! What if they ended up wrecking some of the buildings?!" she scowled.

Mizuhime - "Then the higher-ups... or even worse, they themselves have to pay for the damage!" she agreed to try and get rid of her worried thoughts about the dying Megumi.

Todo - "I'm not finished yet..." the cobblestone ground beneath him cracked as he lets out a crazed smile much to Megumi's look of horror.

Then Todo send Megumi through multiple layers of the building's foundation, creating more destruction and have him flying through the air once that is over.

Aiko - "T-That guy cannot catch a break!" she stared at the destruction, both the building and the physical self of Megumi in horror.

Yuna - "H-He's gonna die for real if that Todo-guy keeps going!" she stated worriedly.

Ayumu - "H-How can he get out of there?!" she asked, as she now started to doubt Megumi's ability to escape.

Kanoko - "Quick! Pretend dead!" she suggested through her yell, "If you don't move, he's not gonna suspect a thing!"

Nao - "Pretend what now?" she look at Kanoko with a dumbfounded gaze.

Todo - "You're always..." he put his fist back, preparing for another punch, "So boring!"

Before he could land a finishing blow, his wrist was bound in place by a long; purple tongue. Looking down, multiple other of Megumi's frogs latch onto his feets using their long; purple tongue.

Kaede - "Ah! I forgot about them!" she stated, her eyes widening.

Ayumu - "Saved him at just the last second!" she said, glad to see no one died in the fight.

While mid-air, he manages to break one of the tongues off his feet. And after landing, he breaks the two that is bounding his wrists.

Todo - "I feel barely any intention to fight." he straighten his posture again, looking down at the fallen Megumi.

Megumi - "I've been holding back, and you're so proud?" he growled under his breath, eyes closed and his forehead bleeding profusely.

Mizuhime - "S-So much blood..." she gasped and the amount of blood pouring down Megumi's head.

Aiko - "And yet, how is he still alive?!" she responded, pointing finger at Megumi.

Nao - "Again, none of anything make sense in here, anyway. And yet, it still happened." she sighed deeply.

Megumi - "If you're going to insist like that,..." he sat up weakly, finally opening his eyes with a strong gaze, "... Then I'll show you."

Suddenly, Todo felt a powerful presence, which made him even more so excited. Finally, his crazed smile returned as he quickly approach Megumi again.

Todo - "Bring it!" he stated with a challenging smile, red trails following his eyes to indicate his .

Yuna - "Oh god..." she stated worriedly.

Ayumu - "Not again..." she hid her face behind her closed palms.

Aiko - "Get ready for another beating..." she hold her breath in anticipation.

Fortunately, Inumaki pops up and unzip the collar of his uniform that is hiding his mouth, which shows marks over the side of his mouth and tongue.

Ayumu - "Hey! It's him!" she pointed.

Yuna - "W-Where did he come from?!" she questioned in an instinct.

Kanoko - "I don't know and I don't care! Help Urchin!" she exclaimed, worried for the spiky-haired guy she has been secretly crushing on.

Inumaki - "Don't move." he commanded, his voice rippling through the air like a glitch in the matrix.

Ayumu - "W-Wait, he talks!" she gasped in surprise, seeing Inumaki speak for the first time outside riceball ingredients.

Aiko - "He talks?" he looked at Ayumu, confused.

Kanoko - "Weirdly, too. But he finally talks normally!" she added.

Nao - "I'm don't think just saying: "Don't move" will make him stop!" she stated, not sure why Inumaki would say that and do nothing else.

However, upon hearing that, Todo suddenly stop in his track. It is as if Inumaki's command rang through his ear, which made his entire body and mind respond to his order despite his consciousness.

The girls gaped at the screen in awe and fear. They witnessed Todo suddenly stop moving like a statue.

Aiko - "W-What just happened?!" she asked, confused at Todo who was previously just moving around freely.

Nao - "Does that... Wait, did he do that?" she looked back at Inumaki.

Ayumu - "I don't know if I should be amazed or terrified..." she mentioned, but she is visibly shaking.

Suddenly, another person jumps into the sky from behind where Megumi and Inumaki is standing. His silhouette now noticeable after the sunlight blocked his blobby figure, and that certain individual is revealed to be Panda.

Mizuhime - "Hey, isn't that..." she squinted her eyes to get a clear look.

Ayumu - "Panda!" she exclaimed excitedly and in relief.

Aiko - "Oh, that panda again." she stared at the screen dumbfoundedly.

Mizuhime - "Huh? Oh, right." she blinked as she finally recognized the character on the screen, 'I should have brought my glasses to work today...'

Suddenly, her glasses appeared on the arms of her chair as she looked around, confused at her magical glasses appearing as if someone read her mind.

Mizuhime -"What? Huh? Um..." she slowly reached for her glasses and puts it on, smiling sweetly, 'Thank you.'

Panda "What are you two doing?!" he asked as he finally comes down from the aim, sending a punch that sends Todo sliding backwards few meters away from them, "Whew, just barely safe."

Kanoko - "For a panda that fat, he do pack a punch." she commented. finally able to relax now that Megumi is in a safe zone backed up by presumably his friends.

Aiko - "Maybe he's not fat, but contain lots of muscles under all that fur?" she theorized.

Kanoko - "You're saying that Panda is some kind of body builder?" she rose her eyebrows questioningly.

Aiko - "Building his body to protect himself in combat." she corrected, squinting her eyes.

Kanoko - "That's what I said, you bitch! What purpose repeating what I just said?!" she hissed.

Aiko - "Oh, shut up, you whore! That's completely different from what you said!" she retorted, also crossing her arms under her breasts.

Kaede / Yuna - "Girls." they called out in a strict tone.

Kanoko / Aiko - "Sorry, mom." they both said in unison, but refusing to look at one another.

Inumaki - "Bonito flakes." he stated, the zip in his collar back up to hide his mouth once again.

Kanoko - "Aaaand back to talking nonsense." she rolled her eyes.

Ayumu - 'I was thinking he looks cute talking like that.' she giggled to herself.

Inumaki sweatdropped at the condition Megumi is in as Panda slides from the right hand of the screen with a comical expression.

Panda - "Okay, I guess that might actually be an out." he stated with a sweatdrop despite his casual face.

Todo, after recovering from Inumaki's cursed technique, stands up and spat out blood from his mouth with a scowling expression. But upon seeing who it was, he smiled.

Todo - "Long time no see, Panda." he smirked, finished wiping the bruise off his cheek.

Nao - "Oh, Panda and Todo has some kind of connection or some sort?"

Kanoko - "It kinda make sense, if you think about it." she looked at the two, comparing their body size, 'One is big because he's muscular, one is big because he's... well... big.'

Ayumu - "What a terrifying duo... They both look like they can hit hard..." she sweatdropped at the thought of both Todo and Panda teaming up.

Panda - "Why can't you just wait until the exchange event?" he questioned, making comical hand gestures, "Go home, or I'll start screaming, "No!""

Mizuhime and Yuna could merely giggle at the comedic display of the standing Panda.

Yuna - "He's one silly creature." she cooed.

Mizuhime - "I agree." she nodded with a smile.

Todo - "You don't have to tell to go home." he responded and look around confusingly, "Where'd I put my jacket?"

Aiko - "For a guy who likes to rip his own clothes off, I'm surprised he cared enough to try and find his jacket."

Ayumu - "Maybe he only does that when he's about to fight?" she guessed, finger on her chin.

Aiko - "How would you know?" she asked Ayumu, still crossing her arms.

Ayumu - "Um..." she sweatdropped as she shifts uncomfortably on her seat.

She remember Kokujin's habit of always ripping off his clothes before things got heated to assert his dominance, making her eye twitch as her anger boils in the inside.

Ayumu - 'Jeez, I can't get that guy out of my head... I'm gonna kick him in the nuts as hard as I can next time I see him...' she plastered a fake, nervous smile on her face, "W-Well, I'm a martial artist and I've encountered many people who does that."

Aiko could merely stare blankly, making Ayumu even more uncomfortable of being stared at under Aiko's gaze. However, Aiko soon chuckled at Ayumu's visibly nervous and sweatdropping expression.

Aiko - "I like ya, let's be friends." she smile, causing Ayumu to blush out of embarrassment.

Ayumu never made any friend that fast before, but she is not complaining.

Ayumu - "Y-Yes, let's be friends!" she scratch the back of her head, accepting her handshakes.

Kanoko - 'Whatever...' she said inside her mind, looking away from the two to continue observing the screen.

Todo proceeded to look back at the three with a smile, his hand behind his neck.

Todo - "Looks like I won't be bored the whole time." he admitted, but he strengthen his gaze at Megumi who is still sending death stares at him, "Give Okkotsu a message for me: "You take part, too."... What a pain."

Nao - "Is he still mad from his bad taste in women?" she blinked.

Aiko -"Immature." she commented.

Kanoko - "Like you?" she chuckled to herself.

Aiko - "The hell did ya say-" she stopped herself from her mother's disapproving stare, "Y-Yes, mom..."

Kanoko could only hummed victoriously as she look back at the screen.

Panda - "I Panda. I no understand human speech." he stated, holding a palm infront facing to the side

Inumaki - "Salmon." he half-agreed with Panda, holding a comical deadpan gaze.

The camera cuts back to the tunnel where the four students had conversation at, and Mai is seen loading her revolver again before aiming it the unconscious Nobara.

Mai - "If you want to continue as a jujutsu sorcerer, learn to choose who you wanna pick a fight with." she lectured.

Ayumu - "No! Run from there!" she gasped.

Nao - "Well, she don't look in the best condition, but it's nothing too serious." she rolled her eyes.

Aiko - 'She's acting strangely calm for a girl being pointed at point blank range... Does she hate her or something?' she look at Nao before back to Nobara in the screen.

As she giggled, a wooden staff appeared from the side and pointed Mai's revolver away. She looked to the side, confused on who it was only to be revealed it was Maki, her twin sister.

Maki - "What are you doing with our errand runner, Mai?" she asked, her voice having a hint of demand.

Aiko - "So that's her twin sister..." she recalled, squinting her eyes at the two of them, "Yeah, they look identical. Minus the hair and glasses."

Mai - "Oh, my. You're such a loser I didn't even notice you, Maki." she mocked with a smile, pointing her pistol up this time.

Ayumu - "Eh? So they have some kind of rivalry?" she tilt her head.

Nao - "Hm..." her eyes wandered to two individual.

Both Kanoko and Aiko noticed Nao staring at the two of them.

Kanoko & Aiko - "What?" the both asked in unison in the same, arms crossed pose.

Nao - "Nothing." she shook her head before looking back at the screen.

Maki - "We're both equally losers, you know?" she remarked simply, "All you can do is imbue objects with cursed energy and you've got shits for cursed techniques."

Ayumu - "That... doesn't sound like a bad cursed technique." she commented.

Nao - "Huh. If she could summon things with her cursed energy, and let's just say... she has no limit on her ability, just imagine what he could bring out." she nodded.

Aiko - "Hey, you two." she gained both Ayumu and Nao's attention, "I'm still confused at what cursed energy or techniques are. Explain."

Kanoko - "No need, she'll found out herself soon enough." she kept her focus on the screen.

Aiko - "Tch." she scoffed.

Mai - "Better than having no cursed energy at all." she retorted, mantaining her calming tone and smile, "My neck gets sore looking up at others all the time, so I need to look down on someone like you every so often."

Kanoko - "Wait, she doesn't have any cursed energy?!" she widen her eyes at the revalation.

Nao - "Then how does she fight curses?!" she asked, "Let alone, how did she get accepted as a graded sorcerer if she doesn't have any ability to begin with?"

Ayumu - "Her strength, maybe?" she shrugged, "Well, we saw Todo still able to defeat said curses with just his strength, and he doesn't even need any cursed technique up until special-grades."

Maki - "Ah, forget it. We're both at rock bottom, and it's pathetic." she mentioned, switching her attention to the unconscious Nobara, "Nobara, can you stand?"

Mai - "No way, she won't be standing up for a while." she smiled, "I hurt her pretty good."

However, Mai was quickly silenced by her twin sister holding the tip of her wooden staff right in front of her mouth, making Mai herself frown.

Mai - "What? You wanna fight?" she questioned.

Mizuhime - "Another fight is going to happen?! Isn't one already enough?!" she exclaimed in worry for the twins.

Nao - "I would have expected to see the fight between her and Nobara, but this is quite... unexpected." she sweatdropped at the sudden suspenseful atmosphere.

Suddenly, Nobara appeared behind Mai with a comical mischievous smile before quickly grappling Mai into her own arms till the both fall to the floor.

The girls sweatdropped at the sight.

Nao - "Well that fight didn't last long." she commented blankly.

Ayumu - "Hey, I used to do that on Hiroki!" she remembered the time when she perform the same exact move in the screen, but blushed upon remembering that she also almost kissed him at that time, 'Hmph...'

Maki could only look at the two going at it on the ground as she held her staff back against her shoulder.

Nobara - "Nice support, Maki!" she thanked, still keeping Mai within her grasp, "You put a bunch of holes in my brand new tracksuit. Leave that uniform of yours behind. I'll make it my own summer uniform!"

Mai - "I'll put holes in your body next time." she gritted her teeth, looking at Nobara over her shoulder, "Also, you wouldn't be able to wear this with those long legs of yours-"

She was quickly silenced by Nobara tightening her grip, as she now hold a fierce expression on her face.

Nobara - "Leave it!" she growled.

Yuna - "She's gonna strip her off?" she sweatdropped.

Mizuhime - "T-That's too inapproriate?! Such obscene act could definitely get you into trouble!" she sweatdropped alongside the one of two mother in the theatre.

"We're going, Mai."

A familiar voice rangs through the tunnel, earning the attention of the three. They look up to see Todo standing on the entrance.

Nobara - "What?! No way..." she muttered in disbelief.

Todo - "Oh, there's my jacket." he smiled, appearing much more calmer and friendly.

Ayumu - "Is he... Is he actually calm now?" she commented.

Kanoko - "I know right? First, he look all intimidating, then he was weird, next he became violently scary, and now he's all friendly like nothing every happened?" she pointed both her palms at the screen.

Nao - "Maybe because he's now surrounded by girls and no "boys"?" she theorized with a shrug.

Nobara immediately lets go of Mai and step back next to Maki for safety.

Nobara - "Where's Fushiguro?" she asked worriedly.

Maki - "Don't worry. The other's with him." she reassured.

Yuna - "It's still unbelievable how that Fushiguro kid manage to make it out alive from that brute." she stated as the other two (Mizuhime and Aiko) nodded in agreement.

However, it was not so surprising for the rest of the girls as they had witnessed the fight between Megumi and Sukuna beforehand.

Todo - "Looks like you're having fun." he mentioned at Mai still on the ground, hand on his hip with a smile as the irritated Mai stand up and stay stood close next to him.

Mai - "Quit joking, I'm just getting started." she frowned, holding her revolver up again.

Ayumu - "It's quite weird seeing Todo being calm like that." she commented, quite bewildered.

Aiko - "First impression?" she guessed.

Nao - "Yeah, maybe because of first impression." she nodded in agreement.

Todo - "No, you're not." he closed his eyes, confusing Mai out of her irritation as he reached into his own pocket, "Unlike you, I still have an important business here in Tokyo."

Then he swung five lottery up in the air and brings them back down, reading: "Takada-chan - 8th single "Youth Mineral" Release celebration - 5 min."

Todo - "My personal handshakes with Takada-chan!" he exclaimed dramatically.

The girls stared at the screen blankly, not even breaking a sweat as they expect this kind of behavior from Todo starting from now.

Nao - "Back to being weird again." she sighed as Kaede giggled.

Aiko - "I'm getting creeped up, now..." she added.

Expectedly, the three girls responded same as the one in the theatre as Maki, Mai, and Nobara stared at Todo incredulously.

Nobara - "Uh-huh..." she murmured.

Aiko - "Acceptable reaction." she nodded in agreement.

Ayumu - "Understandable." she nodded alongisde Aiko, arms crossing.

Then Todo picks up his jacket from the ground and held it over his shoulder.

Todo - "Who knows what I might do if I miss my transfer and can't make it to the event hall?" he asked, frown returning as he turned his back and walk away, "Come with me, Mai."

Mai - "Ugh! You're so selfish!" she scoffed as she quickly followed Todo from behind.

Todo - "Can't believe I lost the lottery for the usual one in Kyoto." he muttered annoyedly.

Mai - "Don't go thinking you'll get off this easy at the exchange event." she smile back at the two before continue walking away.

Aiko - "To be honest, I'm not quite scared about that girl." she mentioned, "I'm more scared about that... brute."

Kanoko - "You mean that Todo?" she referenced with a chuckle.

Aiko - "Oh, shut up." she rolled her eyes.

Nobara - "Quit acting like you won! Leave your uniform behind, damn it!" she points an accusation finger at Mai in the distance with a comical scowled expression.

Nao - 'She's obssessed with beauty, it's starting to get really annoying.' she groaned to herself.

Nao? - 'At least better than you would ever be in your lifetime.' she stated in a bored tone.

Nao - 'Not you again!' she plastered a comical irritated expression on her face, 'I thought you were really gone due to how long you were being silent!'

Nao? - 'Nah, I took a little nap.' she lied, 'If I have the opportunity to mock you, I would wake up to do so.'

Nao - 'But-' she was cut off by her own subconsciousness.

Nao? - 'I WOULD wake up.' she corrected, 'Besides, I'm tired communicating to you. Talking to you is like talking to a wall. Everytime I tried convincing you to correct your path, you kept going to the same direction.'

Nao - 'I know what I'm doing, I'll definitely get to Hiroki someday...' she looked away with a scowl.

Nao? - 'Suit yourself. Don't blame me if you ended up getting stabbed, robbed, and left alone bleeding out in an alleyway or something.' she sighed to herself.

Nao - 'You're definitely a pain in the ass...' she commented quietly, 'It'll take a long time for me to get used to you...'

Nao? - 'You quickly got used to Kokujin's sex life, why can't you do the same for me?' she deadpanned.

Nao - 'Stop mentioning that, you annoying-ass bitch!' she cursed internally.

Nao? - 'Me? Annoying? So is Kokujin! If you wanna argue, at least think of something I can't argue back!' she snarled.

Nao - 'I've changed, okay?! I've devoted my life to Hiroki and Hiroki only. Why can't you catch that?!' she questioned, her tone higher than normal.

Nao? - 'That's not even what I meant about changing your ways, turd-brain.' she sighed.

Nao - 'Jeez, you sounded like an insecure brat. What's wrong? Don't got bigger boobs than me?' she asked, pushing her own ample bossoms with a smug.

Nao? - 'That's because I put my brain up here and not down there, you slut!' she retorted, making Nao even more so irritated.

Outside Nao's mind, both Ayumu and Kanoko is looking at Nao. Nao herself is seen visibly twitching with her eyes closed, looking troubled and agitated.

Kanoko - "... Hey, she is dozing off again." she remarked.

Ayumu - "She's been doing it ever since we've taken that dinner. You think she's okay?" she asked in concern.

Kanoko - "We'll help if it's bad enough." she focuses her attention back at the screen.

However, she was stopped by Maki gently chopping her head from behind with her staff.

Maki - "Cut it out, idiot." she said with a half-annoyed expression, "Winning or losing her hardly matters. We'll beat them up at the exchange event."

Ayumu - "I feel like this isn't gonna be any regular event." she commented.

Aiko - "I mean, what do we got there? A weird brute. Fighting panda. Girl with a revolver. A guy with speech power. A guy who can summon animals. You think this is just a normal competitive battle? Nah, it's gonna be a full on war." she added.

Kanoko - "Oh god, I can already see it happening." she sweatdropped as she imagine the fight happening on the top of her head.

Kaede - 'Hopefully Hiroki doesn't get involved in this in some way or another.' she thought inside her head.

Time passed, as both Maki and Nobara is walking side by side across a stone pathway, walking through the forest part of the school ground.

Nobara - "Hey, Maki-san." she called out, "Is what she said true? That you don't have any cursed energy?"

Maki - "It's true." she smiled, opening her glasses to look at the sky, "So I can't even see curses without these glasses."

Aiko - "Wah, really?" she widen her eyes at the explanation.

Nao - "You can imbue cursed energy and add ability to normal objects like glasses, too?" she questioned, seeing a more in-depth concept of cursed energy.

Kanoko - "I really thought she had minus eyesight and that's it." she remarked.

Maki - "That's why I use cursed tool. They already have curses imbued in them." she explained further, "I can't pour my own cursed energy into them to do things like you all do."

Ayumu - "Ah, so it's like that dagger Hiroki used previously?" she mentioned.

Aiko - "What... dagger?" she asked, confused.

Nao - "It's a cursed weapon he used to exorcise curses." she remarked.

Slowly, the look of realization was plastered onto Aiko, Yuna, and Mizuhime's face as they look at Nao in horror.

Yuna - "W-Wait, are you saying Hiroki is also..." she stammered.

Kaede - "Er... Yes, he is also a jujutsu sorcerer." she smiled nervously.

Aiko - "W-What?!" she asked, bewildered by that statement, "That means he is with those crazy guys?!"

Ayumu - "W-Well, yeah, but he's still the normal out of all them." she defended.

Yuna - "T-Then how come we haven't seen him?" she asked, confused at the lack of appearance of Hiroki.

Nao - "I'm... also wondering that." she ended up agreeing with her words.

Kaede - 'I also miss him... Where are you, Hiroki? I want to hear you talk again...' she looked at the screen in sadness.

Nobara - 'Like that thing he gave Itadori?' she asked as she remembered the time Gojo giving Hiroki the Demon Slaughter, "Then why are you a jujutsu sorcerer?"

Maki - "To spite them." she answered, before turning her back with a smile, "I can't wait to see the look on my family's faces when I became a big shot sorcerer, after all the years they've spent looking down on me."

Aiko - "That's... the reason why she became a jujutsu sorcerer?" she rose her eyebrow, finding interest

Ayumu - "I thought the principal don't seem happy if a sorcerer became one because their family said so?" she asked, remembering the confrontation between the principal and Hiroki.

Nao - "No, it's because she wants to prove her family wrong that she can be the best despite having no curse energy." she corrected, "It's a completely different thing."

Ayumu - "Ah, right, sorry." she sheepishly scratch the back of her head.

Nobara look at Maki from the back, her eyes gleaming with a newfound respect as she smiled.

Maki - "Come on, let's hurry over to see Shoko-san." she remarked.

While paying attention to the front, Maki could hear Nobara walking up to her and feel her head on her shoulder.

Nobara - "I respect you, Maki-san." she chirped.

Kanoko - "Y'know, I'm starting to suspect something... She is always hard on boys but never on girls. Do you think she's a...?" she trailed off.

Ayumu - "I highly doubt it. Maybe she's only like that because she got a bad relation with boys in the past?" she theorized.

Aiko - "I mean, you shouldn't judge people by their cover" she squinted her eyes at Kanoko.

Kanoko - "It's just a guess." she squinted her eyes back at Aiko.

Nao - 'Oh, good. Please only get attracted to girls so I can have Hiroki by myself...' she thought to herself with a hopeful smile.

Nao? - 'Your chances of getting him is still zero, even if that Nobara girl is on the way.' she reminded.

Nao - 'Shut up, please.' she kept focusing on the screen, her smile turned disturbing.

Nao? - '... I know you're supposed to be... well, me. But you're kinda scaring me.' she sweatdropped.

The screen cuts to the view of outside, a small wooden bridge above a river creating path to a traditional-looking cabin around the green environment is seen under the bright; sunny day.

Inside, the interior are mostly composed of planks with lightbulb lighting the place, doors having decorative motives. Inside one of the room, an incredibly old man with his cane is seen sitting on a couch.

Old man - "Is Yaga here yet?" he asked in his usual raspy tone, "The time of an old man close to death doesn't come cheap."

Aiko - "Who... the heck is he now?" she asked, crossing her arms under her breasts.

Nao - "Someone important I'm pretty sure?" she asked.

Ayumu - "N-No offense, but he looks scary for an old man." she shivered, creeped out.

Kanoko - "None taken, I also agree." she nodded in approval.

Kaede - "Kanoko!" she reminded, her voice becoming strict again. Despite being the worst mother that she is, she still wants the best for her daughter.

Kanoko - "Sorry..." she sweatdropped.

A blue haired girl standing next to the entrance of the room, presumably his assistant, kept silent. However, second passed and the door slides open to reveal Gojo walking in casually.

Gojo - "Principal Yaga won't be coming for a while." he reassured, walking past the blue-haired girl who was looking at him the entire time, dumbfounded at his appearance.

Nao - "Hey, it's Gojo again!" she exclaimed in surprise of his sudden appearance.

Aiko - "Who?" she looked at Nao, confused.

Yuna - "Why is he wearing a blindfold?" she asked, perplexed.

Mizuhime - "Won't he be able to see with that on?" she questioned, baffled and worried.

The old man could only mutter: "Oh?" as he tilt his head down. Meanwhile, Gojo simply sat on the couch that is the opposite side of the old man, crossing his legs casually with no sign of politeness.

Aiko, Yuna, and Mizuhime sweatdropped at Gojo's unusual antics.

Yuna - "Hey, that's not very nice?" she tilted her head.

Mizuhime - "Has he learn to be polite?" she quirked her eyebrows.

Gojo - "He was given a false schedule." he explained.

Old man - "After some threats to Ijichi." he mentioned.

Gojo - "Thank you for the other day, Principal Gakuganji." he thanked, smile still present.

Ayumu - "Wait, that old man is the principal, too?!" she widen her eyes in surprise.

Kanoko - "I thought that doll maker guy is the principal?" she asked.

Ayumu "Perhaps the principal from another school? What is it again? Kyoto jujutsu tech, right?" she recalled.

Gakuganji - "Oh? What other day would that be?" he asked, grabbing his white beard in an attempt to remember.

Gojo - "Don't play dumb with me, old man." he leans forward, "I'm referring to the case with Itadori Hiroki. As head of the conservatives, you were involved too, correct?"

The reminder of Hiroki brings anger toward them again, but now they are .

Kanoko - "Involved... THAT old man?" she gritted her teeth at the screen.

Ayumu - "I knew it." she pointed at the screen accusingly, "So he was nothing more than a coward despite his old age!"

Kaede - 'He was the one who also help to kill my son?' she frowned at the screen, her expression turning dark.

The three other girls quickly notice the sudden change in atmosphere between Kaede, Kanoko, Ayumu, and Nao. Though, they chose to stay quite and continue observing the screen.

Gakuganji - "My goodness, youth these days..." he deadpanned, "Don't you know how to be polite?"

Nao - "He's dodging the question!" she pointed out with the look of disbelief, "So he DID help!"

Ayumu - "Coward! Coward!" she fumed, fists clenching.

Gojo - "I never had any intention of respecting you." he clarified, "Elders these days love to act important, and it's annoying, honestly."

Blue-haired girl - "Hey. Your conduct is problematic." she called out, earning Gojo's attention, "I'll be reporting you to the relevant authorities."

Aiko - "I mean, with that kind of attitude, I would expect him to get reported, anyway." she commented.

Yuna - "You should never stop being polite to people relatively older than you." she added with a nod.

However, the perspective cuts to the view of what she look like in the inside. All blushing and beaming in excitement.

Blue-haired girl - 'Oh, man!' she beamed, 'It's Gojo Satoru in person! Gojo Satoru in person!'

The girls sweatdropped at the blue-haired antics, as well.

Aiko - "Didn't think she'd be fanning over him." she stated with an unexpected surprise, "I mean, who find a blindfolded guy attractive, anyway?"

However, the four girls (Kaede, Kanoko, Ayumu, and Nao) blushed at her statement, remembering when he took off his blindfold as saw his true face.

Gojo - "Feel free." he assured, "I don't plan to chat for long."

In the outside, the blue-haired girl frowns at him. However, in the inside, her cheeks are bubbling up and her eyes facing up to the ceiling. Almost as if she is trying to contain her excitement.

Blue-haired girl - 'He spoke to me! He spoke to me!' she thought in a daydreaming voice.

Mizuhime - "Who is this Gojo fella, anyway?" she tilted her head, finding sudden attractiveness in Gojo despite his uniqueness, "Is he a supermodel or some sort?"

Nao - 'I wouldn't be surprised if he is.' she looked away with a sigh, the blush in her face slowly disappearing.

Gojo - "Last night, I was attacked by two unregistered special-grade cursed spirits." he informed, legs now uncrossed but his hands are with one another.

Gakuganji - "Oh?" he tilt his head up, "That is unfortunate."

Gojo - "Don't get me wrong here." he lean his head forward, smile replace with one that is upside down, "To me, it was about like being coerced into taking a survey in the city."

Aiko - "I don't know who I should be taking seriously here. That guy or that girl." she deadpanned at the fangirl in the screen.

Gojo - "Two cursed spirits were capable of communications, and they probably have allies who are just as strong." he recalled, "It's not just our enemies, either. Hakari, Okkotsu, and your Todo."

Nao - 'Wait, they're also targeting the students, too?!' she questioned, eyes wide in shock, 'They did all of this... for Sukuna?'

Gojo - "The levels of our students has risen drastically in recent years, as well." he kept informing, while the old man intently listens, "Then there was last year's incident with Geto Suguru. And now the appearance of Sukuna's vessel."

Gakuganji - "What are you trying to say?" he asked, earning a chuckle from Gojo himself.

Gojo - "You don't know?" he smiled, "The wave of power you guys have been trying to hold back with your pointless statues and traditions has grown bigger than you can handle and is now descending upon us. You won't be able to measure the coming age with the classification of: "special-grade.""

The girls felt suspense during the entirety of just listening. They kept quiet and obseve.

Gojo - "If you think I'm the only one who'll be fighting back, you're going to get hurt, old man." he chuckled.

Gakuganji - "I think you are getting out of line." he looked up, eye now visible.

Gojo - "Oh, scary." he lean back against his seat, crossing his arms with a sarcastic smile.

Aiko - "Okay, I might like this guy." she chuckled.

Ayumu - "That was sure one long talk with the principal." she remarked.

Nao - 'Is he... Is he really certain that Hiroki, despite still having no known cursed technique, able to best him and potentially become a special-grade himself?' she blinked, keeping her gaze at the screen.

Gojo - "Well, that's all I wanted to say." he declared, standing up from his seat and putting his hands inside his pocket, "I'll be going now."

He kept walking past the entrance before peeking back in his comical art style, surprising the blue-haired girl.

Gojo - "Oh, principal Yaga will be coming in about two hours." he informed before sliding back out, "Later!"

Yuna - "To be honest. He is weird, but he is fun." she commented.

Aiko - "Not like that Todo guy." she added.

The principal in the room sigh to himself before switching his attention to the only girl in the room with him.

Gakuganji - "Miwa, would you go buy me some tea?" he request the blue-haired girl named Miwa.

Miwa - "Yes, sir." she accepted immediately, walking out the door carefully with each precise movement, "Excuse me."

After closing the door, she immediately bolted away from her same spot with a determined smile.

Miwa - "If I can catch up to him, I'll get him to take a picture with me!" she stated mentally, determined to chase after the blindfolded sorcerer.

Again, the girls sweatdroped at Miwa's antics. This might occur much more frequently than they initially thought.

Kanoko - "Calm yourself, girl. I get why you're excited." she chuckled.

Kaede - "If she saw his face, she might have passed out." she giggled to herself.

Then the screen cuts to the view from outside, crowd of people lining up with a huge sign on the side reading: "Takada-chan Personal Handshake Event."

The scene cut once more to the view of four hands shaking which belongs to two different people, one noticeably a male and one is a woman. It is revealed that the hands of the man is Todo with a blush on his face.

Ayumu - "Ah, there is Todo." she points out.

Aiko - "Yet again, he seems more calmer now." she mentioned.

Nao - "Not just that, he looks more embarrassed than normal." she added.

Yuna - "Hey, that girl. Is that Takada-chan he was mentioning before?" she questioned, tilting her head.

Nao - "Must be his idol, then? That explains the blush on his face." she recalled.

Todo - "Give me a Taka-tan beam, please." he plead, sound a lot more softer.

Takada - "Okay~! Here I go!" she proceeded to make a peace sign and wink at him, "Tan, taka-tan!"

In the outside, it seem ordinary. But in Todo's mindscape, she is practically glowing with heart aiming at him.

This caused him to held his palm up with a more happy expression, frozen in place. But he was quickly pushed away by the security.

Security - "Time's up." he stated while pushing the still awe-strucked Todo.

Mizuhime - "That... made him happy?" she rose her eyebrows in surprise.

Aiko - "Well at least we know his weakness now." she check out her own butt, making sure hse is at least safe within his presence, "Tall girls with big ass, got it."

Yuna - "What a weird guy, all right..." she sighed while looking away.

Once the song ended, the camera cuts black. A more prominent; dark-themed ambiance is heard in the background.

The sudden shift in atmosphere caught the girls off guard, pushing them to the edge of the seat again suspense.

Yuna - "W-What just happened?" she asked, taken back by the sudden darkness across the theatre that contrast from the usual bright tone of the show.

Aiko - "H-Hey, why did it suddenly turned d-dark?!" she questioned, fear slowly creeping in.

Ayumu - "Gosh, not again..." she hid behind her palms once more, expecting something dark... even worse gruesome to appear.

The outside of a theatre under the rainy weather is seen, reading:

"Now showing - Ticket Sales"

"Kinema Cinema"

And in the inside, a theatre was shown lighting up during its credit scene. The three people there had their faces transfigured and contort in unusual proportion.

Gasps erupted from the girls, as they stared at the potential dead bodies in horror,

Aiko - "W-What happened to them?!" she cover her mouth with wide, horrified eyes.

Yuna - "O-Oh god, I think I'm gonna be sick..." she stated, the first time she has been exposed to such gruesome sight before.

Nao - "Did... Did a curse did that to them?" she questioned, already theorizing a possibility while shaking in fear.

Mizuhime - "T-Those poor guys... W-What did they do to deserve that...?" she look at the screen in horror.

The scene then cuts to a dimly lit alleyway, a cat sniffing some trashback but running away after seeing someone enter.

That someone is a blue-haired guy with stitches all over his body, Mahito.

"That's the Mahito guy!"

"The... Mahito guy?"

"He looks like a cursed spirit, maybe he is one.."

"Is he a... what do they call it? Special grade, too?"

"Possibly. I've seen him talk before, so he might be one."

However, he stop in place as someone calls him out from the entrance of the alleyway.

Boy - "Excuse me." he calls out.

Behind him is a boy roughly the same age as Hiroki, but with a haircut that cover his other eye.

Boy - "Did you do that?" he asked, sweatdrop visible, "In the theatre?"

In response, Mahito's grin grew wide.

Nao - "Wait, HE made those guys back in the theatre to turn out like... that?!" she stared at the screen, mouth gaped.

Aiko - "I knew it..." she squinted her eyes in suspicion, "He seems hella sketchy at first glance."

Mizuhime - "Get out of there, boy!" she shouted in an instinct, "That is a suspicious man!"

Mahito - "Wow." he looked behind him, his creepy smile still present, "You can see me?"

The boy chose to stay quiet, and waited for Mahito to respond to his question.

Ayumu - "Stranger danger!" she yelled.

Nao - "H-He's gonna get killed...I- I'm sure of it... Curse spirits are meant to be the embodiment of human's negative emotions!" she recalled.

Kanoko - "I-I'm surprised he still hasn't got killed after he called that Mahito-guy out..." she mentioned.

The screen transitions from the sky back to the front of the theatre, but now two people present.

One is Hiroki and one is a blond man as they both wore an umbrella under the rain.

All - "Hiroki?! / Son?! / Brother?! / Hiroki-nee?!" they all shouted in unison.

Kaede - "W-What is he doing there?!" she asked out of her motherly instinct.

Aiko - "Hiroki?" then her face turned more surprised before dreamy, 'Oooh~ He look good...~'

Yuna - "Dear?" she looked at Aiko, causing her to instantly snap out of her dazed state.

Aiko - "I'm all right, mom." she focuses on the screen again, but she has an undoubted blush on her face.

Nao - 'D-Dad?! What are you doing there with Hiroki?!' she thought inside her mind.

Blonde guy - "It's a gruesome sight." he admitted, adjusting his thick spectacle, "Are you ready to witness it, Itadori?"

Ayumu - "They're investigating, I assume?" she guessed.

Kaede - "W-Why is that guy dragging my Hiroki into a mess?" she questioned, worried.

Kanoko - "I-It's okay, mom. Maybe it's nothing too serious will happen." she reassured, but she is also one to be worried at the situation Hiroki is in.

Hiroki stay quiet, but he soon nodded and follow the blond hair guy from behind as they screen shifts to black.

The girls were left tensed from the previous screening, lots of things rummaging through their head. Most importantly, they have a question in mind.

Will Hiroki be safe?

And for the more worried ones,

Will Hiroki be truly safe now?

All they could do is hope, knowing Hiroki's journey is far from over. Though, they were instantly met with-

[ ALI - Lost in Paradise - ft. AKLO ]

The outro plays out.

---

The three girls (Aiko, Yuna, and Mizuhime) sweatdropped at the sudden cheery; bombastic music along with visual erupted throughout the whole theatre.

Aiko - "What a mood swing." she commented, able to relax now.

Yuna - "W-What'll happen to Hiroki after that?" she asked, still worried.

Kanoko - "We'll... Maybe we'll find out in the next episode." she shrugged.

Mizuhime - "T-There's more?!" she questioned, surprised.

Nao - "Yeah, there is." she confirmed with a nod.

Surprisingly for the three of the new guests, they saw that after the outro, it still has not ended yet. They did not bother looking at the content of the outro for the time being.

Maybe next time when things appear more calmer.

Miwa managed to take a selfie with Gojo as he posed in the picture, followed by Miwa bowing gratefully at Gojo himself.

Miwa - "Thank you so much!" she thanked cheerfully before running back to the building.

Gojo - "It's no problem." she responded, walking away again with hands in his pockets.

Ayumu - "Hey, what about that old man's tea?" she mentioned.

Kanoko - "Oh, right, I almost forgot about that." she remarked.

Aiko - "Heh, she seem way too distracted to remember." she chuckled.

Down the hallway, she is seen walking back to the room that the principal is in, but twirling around while staring at the photo on her phone in the process.

Miwa - "I got a photo!" she stated excitedly, giggling like a fangirl.

Aiko - "Right, too distracted..." she continued with a sweatdrop.

Then with a sudden change of pace, she place her phone back and slide the door open to step in. Then she went back to her usual guarding position and stand there, hands behind her back.

Gakuganji - "My tea?" he asked, turning his head toward the blue-haired girl.

Then the episode ends with Miwa plastering the look of realization in a comical style.
