◎The Unscrupulous, Stinky White-Haired Teacher (Four-in-One)◎

Lu Shu was startled.

Upon hearing this, Matsuna Yuki couldn't pretend nothing had happened.

"Wait a minute before you go, Lu Shu." She patted Lu Shu and stood up with her hands on her hips.

“Lu Shu is not the same as you, a brain-damaged, chuunibyou (delusional) spirit who has lived for so long and still hasn’t shaken off your delusions!” She stood on Lu Shu’s back and shouted, “You’re the kind of spirit that nobody likes or loves. You’ll be lonely your whole life, and even if you die and go to hell, nobody will pity you!”

She tilted her head back, her expression proud, and boasted, "But the Deer-like Spirit is different. It's a good cursed spirit, and it's going to heaven with me!"

"Go to heaven?" Ryoumen Sukuna was about to make another sarcastic remark, but Yuuki Matsuna silenced her with a loud voice.

"Stop talking!" Yuuki Matsuna yelled, drowning out his voice. She made a face at Ryoumen Sukuna, "There's no one here, and no spirit wants to hear what you're saying. What you're saying is all nonsense; it makes me want to throw up!"

After saying that, she climbed back onto Lu Shu's back and urged, "Lu Shu, hurry up, he's about to get angry!"

This perfectly embodies the idiom "a dog relying on its master's power."

Both Sukuna were speechless.

Leaving Ryomen Sukuna's domain, Yuuki Matsuna breathed a sigh of relief. She nuzzled Shikazuki's head and said affectionately, "Shikazuki, don't pay attention to that chuunibyou. My Shikazuki is different from him. My Shikazuki is the best and most wonderful cursed spirit in the world."

Lu Shu looked at her but said nothing.

"Is that a second-year student?"

Looking at the person whose face was mostly covered by white hair, who was talking to Yuuki Matsuna, Kugizaki Nobara asked again, "Are he and Yuuki-kun in a relationship?"

After a moment of silence, Fushiguro Megumi replied, "No, it's just a normal senior-junior relationship."

"How could that be?" Kugizaki Nobara's face clearly showed disbelief. She raised her eyes and looked suspiciously at Yuuki Matsuna and Inuyama Toji. "If they're not a couple, why would you prepare breakfast for Yuuki-kun?"

Fushiguro Megumi stopped answering her question and stared intently at the two people who were talking, without blinking.

An overwhelming emotion welled up inside him. He knew this feeling was called jealousy, but he could only be jealous because he was powerless to do anything about it.

Displeased, unhappy.

"Is this the breakfast that Thorn prepared for me?" Yuuki Matsuna was flattered.

Dog-Roll Thorn nodded and handed her the rice ball: "Salmon, salmon."

But Matsuna Yuuki was in a dilemma.

She looked troubled, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Why didn't Thorn tell me in advance? If I had known that Thorn would make me breakfast today, I wouldn't have let Sato cook."

She has already eaten breakfast.

But Gou Juanji shook his head and typed on his phone.

It's okay. I didn't know if the rice balls I made were good or not, which is why I didn't tell Matsuna.

In that case, if it doesn't taste good, there's no need for Matsuna to eat it anymore.

He knew that Yuki Matsuna was the kind of girl who would force herself to eat his food and praise and thank him even if it was terrible.

"Then... shall I try some first?" Yuuki Matsuna said tentatively. "I'll just have a bite, and we can eat the rest at noon, okay?"

Dog-Curl Thorn nodded quickly, his eyes lighting up as he looked at her expectantly.

Thorn really looks just like a little puppy!!!

Under the expectant gaze, Yuuki Matsuna opened her pink lips, revealing her canine teeth, and bit off the top of the rice ball.

She chewed twice, pretending to be serious, and crossed her arms as she pondered.

As expected, an extremely panicked expression appeared on Dog Curl's face. He was extremely nervous, and his pupils even began to tremble slightly.

Yuki Matsuna burst out laughing.

She reached out and ruffled Thorn's hair without thinking, and said softly, "Thorn's rice balls are delicious!"

"I really, really love the rice balls that Ji made! I feel like I have all the energy for the day after eating them. Thank you, Ji!"

The girl's smile filled her entire face. Looking at that face, Gou Juanji's heart began to melt. He shook his head and said in a very low voice, "Too much."

What he actually meant wasn't that it's okay, but rather that you should be happy.

If you're happy, then the rice ball I made for you has meaning.

That's what he really wanted to say.

He was unable to say those words because he was bound by the curse. Although the curse was a very convenient spell, it also affected many things about Dog-Turtle Thorn.

*

It seems that because the number of first-year students has increased, physical education class was not held together with the second-year students this time.

Yuki Matsuna's legs were so weak from running that they started to tremble uncontrollably. Even so, because of the instructions of a certain white-haired teacher, she still had to persevere and finish the last lap.

As she ran toward the finish line, she felt her vision blurring. The instant she crossed the finish line, she collapsed onto the body of Kugizaki Nobara who was waiting for her, and weakly said, "Kugizaki-san, I think I can see my grandmother in heaven waving to me."

Her voice was weak and feeble, as if she was about to go to another world: "It's over, I can already see the Bridge of Helplessness, and someone is handing me a bowl of soup in front of me, it looks delicious."

"Wait...wait a minute!!!" Kugizaki Nobara quickly pressed down on her shoulders and shook her a few times, trying to bring her back to her senses. "You can't drink that stuff! You'll die if you drink it!! Come back!!"

She shook him so much that Matsuna Yuuki felt even more nauseous.

Yuki Matsuna stretched out a hand to stop Kugizaki Nobara from shaking her any further, coughed a few times, and said, "Nobara, if you keep shaking me, I might really go to another world."

Kugizaki Nobara immediately stopped what she was doing. She looked up, frowned, and glared at the white-haired teacher who had ordered Yuuki Matsuna to run so many laps: "With her stamina, she couldn't possibly have kept up with so many laps. She's practically dead!"

“But didn’t Yuuki finish running?” Gojo Satoru didn’t seem to think anything of it. He looked down at Yuuki Matsuna, whose face was flushed from running, and chuckled softly.

Kugizaki Nobara got even angrier: "You're still laughing!!!"

"I'm going to take Matsuna to rest for a bit." She supported Matsuna Yuuki, put Matsuna Yuuki's arm on her shoulder, and was about to walk forward when she suddenly heard Fushiguro Megumi's voice.

"Leave her to me." Fushiguro Megumi had just finished running, and the sweat on her head hadn't been wiped away yet. Her chest heaved a few times as she said, "I've already finished running, but Kugizaki hasn't, has she? Let me take her to rest."

Kugizaki Nobara looked at him suspiciously, sized him up, and then said, "...Are you sure? You really won't faint on the spot along with Matsuna halfway through?"

“…No matter what, my physical fitness isn’t that bad,” Fushiguro Megumi said.

He took Yuuki Matsuna from him and supported her waist. She was so tired that her consciousness was blurred, and her soft body lay limply on him, which made Fushiguro Megumi pause in surprise.

"Then I'll take her to rest first, and I'll come back when she's recovered." Fushiguro Megumi nodded to Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow but did not answer. He watched the two figures walk away, his hand stroking his chin, lost in thought.

Then, he grinned as usual, turned his head, clapped his hands together, and said, "Okay, then Kugizaki, run a few more laps today!"

"ha?!!"

*

“A towel,” Fushiguro Megumi said.

Receiving no response, he sighed, placed the already damp towel on Yuuki Matsuna's forehead, whose mind was still in a daze, and turned on the water he had bought for her.

How can I drink it?

Fushiguro Megumi stared at the girl's pink lips, pondering the problem. After a while, he coughed a few times, then turned his head away to think of other ways.

Taking advantage of someone's misfortune is not something a virtuous person should do.

But what other methods are available?

After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head slightly, stroked Yuki Matsuna's cheek with one hand, pressed her lips, pried them open, and then carefully poured water into her mouth with the other.

However, he was not skilled at operating it.

"Cough...cough cough." Choking on the water, Yuuki Matsuna coughed a few times. Her mind had recovered, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Fushiguro Megumi's flushed face.

When their eyes met, Fuhei Hui let go of her hand as if she had been electrocuted, then hurriedly handed her the water and looked away, saying, "Drink it yourself."

"Ah, okay." Yuki Matsuna nodded hesitantly.

She took the water, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and felt a little better. She breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "This is exactly Hui's character! A cool guy with a cold exterior but a more sensitive heart than anyone else is just too amazing!"

"She's perfect to marry!"

Her words startled Fushiguro Megumi.

He mechanically turned his head and repeated Yuuki Matsuna's words: "...to take home as a wife?"

"That's right!" The other person nodded frankly, with the ice towel that Fushiguro Megumi had placed on their head still on it. "Megumi is really suitable to be a wife!"

Fushiguro Megumi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you really not able to tell, or are you pretending?"

"What?" Yuuki Matsuna blinked. "Can't you see anything?"

“…Never mind.” Fushiguro Megumi gave up on pursuing the question further. He sat down next to Yuuki Matsuna and said nothing more.

Having just recovered, Yuuki Matsuna didn't have much to say. She was still gulping down water, trying to make herself feel better that way.

Looking at her, Fushiguro Megumi suddenly remembered what had happened that morning. After hesitating for a moment, he asked the question that had been troubling him: "...Do you like Inu-maki-senpai?"

The other person gave him a strange look, stopped drinking water, and asked, "What is Hui talking about?"

"Didn't I already say that I don't feel any attraction to either Thorn or Megumi?"

Before she could realize how infuriating her words were, Fukuro Megumi stood up abruptly. He gritted his teeth, pulled the towel from her forehead, and said with a hint of anger, "As expected, ignoring you was the best choice!"

He didn't give Yuki Matsuna time to react, grabbed the towel and was about to leave, leaving Yuki Matsuna standing there dumbfounded.

Why are you angry?

As her brain gradually began to function, Yuuki Matsuna remembered something very important.

Just yesterday, Fushiguro Megumi asked her what she should do if he really liked her.

And today, she said just those words.

It's...it's all over!!!

Hui will definitely be angry and ignore her for days!!!

*

After finishing her physical training class, Yuuki Matsuna took a shower and immediately collapsed onto the bed. She rubbed herself against the blankets a couple of times, then hugged the blankets and rolled around on the bed, finding the bed, which was usually the same as usual, to be exceptionally soft today.

Indeed, the bed is the place that humans yearn for most.

Just as she was expressing this sentiment, a familiar laugh suddenly came from the window. She stopped rolling around, looked up, and saw Gojo Satoru sitting on the windowsill.

Seeing her looking over, Gojo Satoru greeted her with a smile: "Hi."

Matsuna Yuuki: ...

She immediately sat up, got out of bed and walked towards Gojo Satoru, holding out her hand with a stern face, demanding that he push her off.

"Huh?!" Gojo Satoru was completely taken aback by her actions. He jumped from the window to the other side, drawing out his words and feigning grievance, "This building is really high up. Is Yuuki so cruel as to push the teacher down? Did she want to see Gojo-sensei die?"

"Then how did the teacher get up here?" Yuki Matsuna wasn't buying his question. She looked at Gojo Satoru with dead fish eyes and said, "If the teacher had a way to climb up, he must also have a way to land safely on the ground."

But Gojo Satoru stopped arguing with her.

He suddenly fell silent, his eyes beneath the blindfold fixed on Yuuki Matsuna, who did not avoid his gaze and met his eyes in return.

After a while, Gojo Satoru said something inexplicable: "Yuki is so cold."

"Why do you say that?" Yuuki Matsuna felt like the other person had pinned a huge blame on her. "Teacher, it's perfectly normal to chase away a man who just barges into your room."

“That’s not what I meant.” Gojo Satoru knew that Yuki Matsuna hadn’t understood him. “What I meant was, Yuki just says she doesn’t like something and then she doesn’t. She’s really cold and heartless.”

"Teacher, putting aside the fact that my previous feelings were a misunderstanding, even if we take a step back, it's perfectly normal to give up on someone who doesn't like you, right?" Yuuki Matsuna rubbed her temples, feeling even more wronged.

Everything she said was correct.

But Gojo Satoru reneged on his promise. He pouted and, just like before, feigned distress: "Teacher thinks Yuuki isn't a good child, and Teacher is so sad—"

Yuki Matsuna was in a real bind.

She sat on the bed, crossed her arms, and her eyes became serious. She was determined to make things clear today: "The teacher is so strange!"

"Hmm?" Gojo Satoru asked.

"Before, I thought I liked my teacher, so I always stayed around her. But she looked down on my feelings and thought that children's feelings were just playing house."

She frowned: "Now that the seal is broken, I will no longer have feelings for the teacher. All the misunderstandings have been cleared up, but the teacher says that I am too cold and heartless. Isn't such a teacher too strange?"

She suddenly remembered a comic book plot she had read before, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Does the teacher like the crematorium trope?"

"What's with the crematorium reference?" Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow, no longer pretending, and calmly asked, "Doesn't the teacher have a chance to back out?"

“No.” Yuuki Matsuna said without hesitation, “Teacher, I have absolutely no feelings for you. My previous feelings were all just misunderstandings. The idea that I have changed my mind was unfounded from the beginning.”

"Huh—Yuki's so calm?" Gojo Satoru chuckled, removing his blindfold to reveal his face hidden beneath.

He looked at Yuuki Matsuna with his azure eyes, and noticing the other's expected startle, he narrowed his eyes with pleasure and said, "Then how can you make Yuuki's heart flutter again, teacher?"

Cunning adult!

Yuuki Matsuna's attitude began to soften. She looked directly into the handsome man's eyes. Although she was shy, she refused to look away and stammered, "Well... of course, it depends on Gojo-sensei's performance."

"What kind of performance?" Gojo Satoru blinked.

This is so unfair, this face is just too unfair.

Yuuki Matsuna couldn't take it anymore. She covered her face, trying to hide Gojo Satoru's handsome face, and said in a panic, "Just like what I did to Gojo-sensei before, you have to do the same to me!"

"I used to buy things for you, teacher, and follow you around all the time. If you want me to fall for you again, you'll definitely have to do the same things as me before, or even better!"

"Oh—" Gojo Satoru said as if suddenly realizing something, "So Yuuki wants the teacher to pursue you, how greedy~"

"No way!" Yuuki Matsuna lowered her hand to retort, but as soon as she did, she saw that handsome face again, and the handsome man even winked at her.

She let out a wail, covered her face again, and said, "If the person who falls in love first wants the other person to like them back, they definitely have to take some real actions!"

"Besides, the teacher doesn't like me, so why would she pursue me?!"

After saying that, Yuuki Matsuna suddenly realized something.

She lowered her hand, revealing only her eyes, and asked cautiously, "No way, teacher, you don't...like me?"

The other person didn't answer her question, but tilted their head at her with a completely innocent expression and said, "Who knows~"

Yuki Matsuna wanted to press for more information, but Gojo Satoru didn't give her the chance. He put his blindfold back on and quickly jumped out of the window again.

*

Another solo mission.

Before leaving today, looking at the four people going on the mission with her, Yuuki Matsuna proudly put her hands on her hips, snorted twice, and boasted, "You guys are all too weak. Unlike me, I'm qualified to go on missions alone. I'm a Special Grade!"

Kugizaki Nobara rudely pressed her head down, saying, "Oh~ then why would a Special Grade faint during physical training class just from running laps? That's so lame of a Special Grade~"

"What?!" Yuuki Matsuna looked up, about to retort, when Itadori Yuujin stepped in to ease the tension.

He pulled Kugizaki Nobara and Yuuki Matsuna apart and said, "Alright, alright, Kugizaki, we have to go on a mission."

He then looked at Yuuki Matsuna and encouraged her, "Good luck on your solo mission, Yuuki!"

Yuki Matsuna nodded, watching the four people walk out together. She blinked, her gaze falling on Fushiguro Megumi, thinking to herself.

If Hui wasn't angry, she must have said something to tell her before she went on her mission, right?

How can I appease Hui and make her stop being angry?

Thinking of this, Yuuki Matsuna shifted her gaze to Ten and the Tyrant who were walking with her, and asked, "Uncle Shen, how can I prevent your son from getting angry?"

Tianyu the Tyrant stumbled, even doubting whether he had misheard, and looked up in surprise, asking, "...What did you say?"

“I said, how can I stop your son from getting angry with me?” Yuuki Matsuna repeated her words, looking down and thinking seriously. “Why is your son always angry with me?”

Fukushiro paused for two seconds before replying, "...Maybe it's because he's going through a turbulent adolescence."

"Huh?!" Yuuki Matsuna looked up. "That's impossible. Then why is Megumi only angry with me? If she's in her adolescence, she'd be angry with everyone, right?"

"Is it because Hui really hates me?!" Her pupils dilated as she exclaimed in shock.

“…I think it should be the opposite of that,” said Vöhschen.

Yuki Matsuna suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, where did Uncle Shir go the other day? Why didn't Uncle Shir come when I went on a mission alone the other day?"

"That's dereliction of duty. What if something happens to me?" she said, feigning anger.

"With that cursed spirit around, how could you possibly get into trouble?" Fuheshen shrugged, saying with a wicked grin, "Kid, it's best if you don't know where I'm going."

"Stop pretending, I can probably guess where Uncle Shen will go." Yuuki Matsuna directly exposed him and sincerely gave advice, "Uncle Shen, you'd better keep some savings for yourself."

"You have no one to support you in your old age. If you don't even have money, you'll really have nothing to live on when you get old."

Fu Heishen snorted coldly: "Mind your own business, kid. Don't meddle in other people's business."

"Alright then, I won't talk about that anymore." Yuuki Matsuna pouted. "Let me ask you another question. When is Uncle Shinji planning to go see Megumi?"

"...You shouldn't have asked that question at all."

*

On the other side.

Looking at the cursed spirit before him, whom he found difficult to face, Fushiguro Megumi knew that if he didn't make a decision here, both Itadori Yuujin and he would die here.

He gritted his teeth, assumed a bad posture, and prepared to sacrifice himself, but at that moment, he suddenly remembered what Yuuki Matsuna had said in a spell.

"If Megumi dies, I will die with her."

"So for my sake, it's better if Hui doesn't die."

The memory momentarily stunned him, giving Itadori Yuuji an opportunity. He grabbed Fushiguro Megumi by the collar and demanded, "Fushiguro, what were you trying to do just now?!"

*

Having easily dealt with the cursed spirit, Matsuna Yuuki walked back to her classroom in a cheerful mood.

"The super-powerful Special Grade is back!" she said, raising her voice as she opened the classroom door.

But no one replied to her.

She then realized that the atmosphere in the classroom was unusually heavy, everyone had their heads down, and not only that, one of the four students was missing.

Hisahito Itsuji has disappeared.

A bad thought flashed through her mind, and she quickly frowned, whispering in disbelief, "...Yu...Yujin is dead?"

The boy who greeted her and encouraged her this morning is dead. Does he no longer exist in this world?

Realizing this, Yuuki Matsuna was on the verge of a mental breakdown, but at that moment, Shikazuki suddenly spoke in a voice that only she could hear.

"That human did not die."

"He must be hidden away, but these people don't know it. There might be a necessary reason to keep it from them."

"That human is, after all, a vessel for Ryoumen Sukuna, and Sukuna won't let him die so easily."

She was stunned as she received the information, bombarded by one message after another. Before she could react, she saw Kugizaki Nobara and Yoshino Junpei walk out of the classroom with their heads down.

"There shouldn't be any classes today," Fushiguro Megumi said.

He stood in front of Yuuki Matsuna, his eyes filled with intense emotion, and opened his mouth, his voice hoarse: "You should go back too."

This was the first time Yuuki Matsuna had seen Fushiguro Megumi like this.

No one can help but feel sad and heartbroken at the loss of a companion.

She should also take action to comfort Fushiguro Megumi, who is immersed in grief.

Yuuki Matsuna opened her arms and gave Fushiguro Megumi a bear hug, patting his back and gently comforting him, "Megumi, no...no..."

But she couldn't bring herself to say, "Don't be sad."

If Fushiguro Megumi wasn't saddened by this, then he wouldn't be Fushiguro Megumi.

What words could she use to comfort Hui?

Before Yuuki Matsuna could even begin to eat, Fushiguro Megumi had already wrapped her arms around her.

He was very strong, as if he wanted to meld Yuki Matsuna into his bones. The overly tight and oppressive embrace even made Yuki Matsuna a little breathless, but she didn't say anything.

Because she knew that Fushiguro Megumi, who was buried in her neck, had lost control of her emotions.

Feeling the dampness on her neck, Yuuki Matsuna was stunned and didn't know what to do, but doing nothing wouldn't be good either, so she kept patting Fushiguro Megumi's back to comfort him and tell him that she would always be by his side.

“…Thank you.” Fushiguro Megumi’s voice was low.

“…No…no need.” Being treated as someone she could rely on for the first time, Yuuki Matsuna took on the responsibility and said, “It’s okay, Megumi can cry as much as she wants.”

*

Teacher Gojo didn't come.

If a student in the class dies, it's impossible for Mr. Gojo not to come and see his student. Although he is usually quite irresponsible, he is still very responsible.

Itadori-kun has been hidden away, and no one but Gojo-sensei can access him.

Then there's only one possibility: Itadori-kun has been hidden by Gojo-sensei.

That night, Matsuna Yuki stopped Satoru Gojo.

"I know Itadori-kun is not dead." She stretched out her arms to block Gojo Satoru's steps forward, looked up to meet his gaze, and stated her intention directly, "I want to see Itadori-kun."

"If the teacher doesn't take me to see him, the teacher won't be able to do anything today, and I will keep stopping the teacher."

Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow: "Yuuki seems to have become smarter now that he's become stronger?"

“I’m naturally smart,” Yuuki Matsuna retorted decisively.

After pondering for a moment, Gojo Satoru, as if suddenly struck by a brilliant idea, held up a finger and said, "I can take Yuuki to see Itadori, but Yuuki has to grant the teacher a request!"

"A request?" Yuuki Matsuna asked suspiciously. "What kind of request?"

"Well—" Gojo Satoru said, "The teacher hasn't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it when we have an idea!"

Knowing that Gojo Satoru would never harm her, Yuuki Matsuna hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

When Yuujin Itadori was seen again, Matsuna Yuuki finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart.

She breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in front of Hisahito Itadori, and asked in a serious tone, "How did you die?"

"How did you survive? Hui told me he saw with his own eyes that you had lost your heart."

"How long are you going to hide here? Hui and the others are very sad."

"you…"

The barrage of questions gave Itadori Yuujin no chance to speak. He covered Yuki Matsuna's mouth, and only when she stopped and he had a chance to speak did he release her and prepare to speak.

But the two Sukuna took the lead.

"Of course it's because of me! If it weren't for me, this brat would have died long ago. You should thank me, you know!" The mouth appeared on Yuujin Itadori's hand, and Matsuna Yuuki saw the mouth open wide and say arrogantly.

She was already annoyed, but seeing that mouth made her even more annoyed.

Yuki Matsuna immediately took action, directly covering Ryoumen Sukuna's mouth with her fist, and said with her eyes downcast, "Shut up, nobody wants to hear you talk."

With his hand stuck in his mouth, Ryomen Sukuna was unable to speak or open his mouth elsewhere. He could only make muffled sounds, which looked extremely ridiculous.

He was furious, but unable to do anything in the real world, so he directly pulled Yuuki Matsuna into the Realm of Life.

"I'm tired of seeing this awful place every day. Aren't you annoyed?" Yuuki Matsuna said irritably.

The deer-like creature followed in, protecting Yuuki Matsuna with its tail as before. It looked up at Ryomen Sukuna and said, "Ryomen Sukuna, if you're too bored and have nothing to do, you can go die."

Neither of them wanted to come to this birthplace again.

Ryomen Sukuna's lips twitched. He walked down from the mountain of corpses, gritted his teeth, and said, "Lushu, shut up and let that little brat behind you come out and talk to me."

Lu Shu didn't budge an inch: "Why should I take your orders?"

“Forget it, Shika-kun.” Yuuki Matsuna pushed away her tail and stepped out. “This guy keeps dragging me into his living world, it’s endless, I’m really annoyed. Let’s hear what he has to say first.”

But the moment she stepped out of the Deer-like creature's tail, Ryomen Sukuna suddenly revealed a triumphant smile.

"You're too naive, kid."

These were the last words Matsuna Yuuki heard before she lost consciousness.

A sharp pain shot through her neck. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the real world, and her fist was no longer in that disgusting mouth.

"Hahahaha, kid, you're too naive. Being so naive will come at a price, hahahahaha." Thus, Ryomen Sukuna was able to open his mouth in a different spot and laugh arrogantly.

A tic-tac-toe mark appeared on Yuuki Matsuna's forehead.

She now understands why her neck was stinging.

Because this stupid, idiotic, and disgusting guy chopped off her head, and then kicked her out of the realm.

This is so boring!!! Is this a primary school student?!

Yuuki Matsuna gritted her teeth, pointed at Ryomen Sukuna's mouth, forced a smile that showed no emotion, and said angrily, "Itadori-kun, could you temporarily give him your body? I really want to beat him up right now."

"Ah...ah?" Yuji Itadori hadn't reacted yet.

“…Forget it, you’ve just recovered, I won’t stoop to his level.” Yuuki Matsuna rubbed her forehead and cursed Ryomen Sukuna again, “You old monster who’s lived for over a thousand years, just go die already.”

Ryomen Sukuna: "Don't worry, I won't die even if you die. You'd better try to live until I eat you."

As expected, any attempt to communicate with Ryomen Sukuna was futile.

He deserves a beating.

"Itadaki, do you want me to seal your mouth shut?" Gojo Satoru, who hadn't spoken until now, quietly asked from behind Yuuki Matsuna.

His gaze fell downwards, fixed on the extra mouth that had appeared on Itadori Yuujin's face. In that instant, Itadori Yuujin had no doubt that he was truly capable of doing such a thing.

Yuji Itadori slapped himself, covered Sukuna's mouth with his hand, and said, "Teacher, don't joke around. How could you seal it so he can't speak anymore? If you seal this place, he'll just appear in another place."

"Ah, then let's just seal up Itajiki's whole body then," Gojo Satoru said with a smile.

"Why did you hide Itadori here, teacher?" Yuki Matsuna stood up, looked directly at Gojo Satoru, and asked.

"Hmm... this is for the sake of Itadori's safety. After all, he is Sukuna's vessel, and many people are eyeing Itadori. Yuuki should be able to think of that too, right?" Gojo Satoru answered, avoiding the main point.

“It can’t be just that,” Yuuki Matsuna said. “If it were just an ordinary person staring at Itadori, there would be no need for you to do this, sir. It must be because of someone special, right?”

"For example... the higher-ups in the world of sorcery?"

Gojo Satoru was taken aback by this, then chuckled and said, "Yuki seems to have really become smarter."

"I already said I'm naturally smart, not that I've become smarter!" Yuuki Matsuna retorted, pouting. "There's something wrong with the higher-ups in your jutsu world. Yuuta's dark circles under his eyes are probably due to their exploitation, right?"

“If it’s because of those higher-ups, I think I can be of some help,” she added.

"Oh?" This piqued Gojo Satoru's interest. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Yuki has been so helpful to me."

"Because my family is very rich," Yuuki Matsuna answered frankly. "My family can put financial pressure on them."

"After all, those people probably don't want to go hungry, lose their businesses, and starve, right?"

These words silenced Hisahito Itadori and Satoru Gojo, who were both present.

After a while, Hisahito Itadori coughed twice, breaking the awkward silence.

He rubbed his hair, slowly opened his mouth, and tentatively asked, "This...this is the smell of money?"

“Yes.” Yuki Matsuna nodded, confirming his words.

"So handsome—" Gojo Satoru suddenly exclaimed, reaching out to pull the unsuspecting Yuuki Matsuna into his arms. He added, "Teacher is completely smitten with Yuuki! He's just too handsome! Should I start a relationship with Teacher, handsome Yuuki-kun~"

"No way." Yuuki Matsuna tried to break free from Gojo Satoru's embrace, but to no avail.

Helpless, she could only stare blankly at the humanoid cat with dead fish eyes, letting him hug her, and said, "I've already said it, if you want me to fall in love, you should at least treat me the way I treated you before."

"Besides, the teacher didn't answer my question either. You still haven't told me whether you like me or not."

The sheer volume of information caused Hisahito Itadori's mind to momentarily freeze.

"Sigh—" Gojo Satoru still avoided the main point, "Yuki is so cold, it breaks my heart."

This approach didn't work on Matsuna Yuuki, who calmly replied, "Then when your heart breaks, teacher, you must let me see it first. I'm very curious about how a human heart can break."

"The teacher really cried!"

As if suddenly remembering something, Gojo Satoru put his arm around Yuuki Matsuna's waist and said in a slightly ambiguous tone, "Yuuki, let's sleep at the teacher's house tonight, don't go back to school~"

“Teacher, I really will call the police,” Yuuki Matsuna said. “Has the teacher gone mad? Why am I staying at the teacher’s house?”

"Because teachers can be very lonely."

"Itadori-kun is here too, so why should I be lonely? If you really are lonely, I can let Itadori-kun sleep in your room with you."

Upon hearing the two people mention him, Hisahito Itadori coughed twice unexpectedly.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him at the same time, Hisahito Itadori quickly waved his hand and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, teacher, I have no interest in sleeping with a man!"

"The teacher isn't interested either!" Gojo Satoru continued to whine. "Anyway, it's not like we haven't slept together before, so Yuuki, don't be shy~"

We slept together...?!

Hisahito Itadori's face showed an expression of extreme shock.

"Don't look at me like that. Not a single word Gojo-sensei said is true." Yuuki Matsuna nudged Gojo Satoru in the lungs with her elbow and said, "Sensei, please don't say things that are so easy to misunderstand."

"Let's just sleep here. It's so late now. The teacher is here, Itadori is here, so what's wrong with Yuuki staying here?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Is there someone else hiding in Yuuki's dorm, and Yuuki is waiting to go back and be all lovey-dovey with him?"

It's as if if Yuki Matsuna insists on going back today, it would be as if she agrees with what he said.

"Who's hiding in the dorm?!" Yuuki Matsuna rubbed her furrowed brows and could only agree, "Alright, then I'll sleep at the teacher's house tonight."

Even so, Matsuna Yuki did not say that she wanted to sleep in Satoru Gojo's room.

The moment she opened the door, Yuuki Matsuna closed it again.

"I think I'd better go back to sleep." She turned to leave.

But she was stopped by Gojo Satoru, who hugged her waist and hung on her like a giant pendant. The heavy pressure of his 1.9-meter height made it impossible for Yuuki Matsuna, who was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, to move a single step.

Why are you leaving?
