It's just a nursery rhyme

"If you encounter a situation like this, please escape." Ijichi pushed up his glasses with a serious expression.

This mission is extremely risky, and it is really scary to rely on three freshmen to solve it. But the orders from the superiors are really hard to disobey, so we can only hope that these three children can complete this mission safely.

Yuji Itadori's expression was sunny. He was obviously very confident about his future. He flexed his forearm muscles and said, "Don't worry, Ijichi. We will definitely succeed in exorcising the curse."

Kugizaki Norose put her phone into her coat pocket, took out her hammer, and finally glanced at Fushiguro Megumi who was still standing there with a frown on her face and said, "Fushiguro, aren't you leaving yet?"

Fushiguro Megumi shook her head and walked inside: "No, I just feel like something is wrong..."

"There's nothing wrong, guys. Cheer up." Kugizaki Norose patted Fushiguro Megumi's shoulder to show that she was fine, and walked in first. "After finishing the task, you still have time to go shopping. Come in quickly."

"Oh oh!" Yuji Itadori pulled Megumi Fushiguro along with him: "Fushiguro, let's go."

Fushiguro Megumi nodded, and the three of them gradually entered the interior.

Perhaps because of their bad luck, the curse they encountered this time was not an ordinary first-level curse, but a special-grade curse that had just been born.

The three men attacked back and forth and kept the distance between them, but for the special curse, this was just a small game to earn money. As the distance continued to shrink, Yuji Koji stopped and swung his fist first.

Curse stumbled back slightly under the force, while the three continued running.

Suddenly, a small voice was heard.

"What...sound?"

Yuji Itadori's perception is naturally very good, and at this moment he vaguely heard a series of footsteps.

The footsteps were on the ground, the sound of heels hitting the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Yuji Itadori saw that the special curse that was originally threatening him was knocked away by something heavy. After a loud bang, it was like being run over by a hydraulic press, and immediately the bloody mess was stuck to the wall.

What's going on?

Just when Yuji Itadori had not yet reacted, Fushiguro Megumi suddenly raised his hand. His eyes were alert, and Yuji Itadori could see beads of cold sweat on Fushiguro Megumi's forehead.

[Very strong.] Fushiguro Megumi said, [I haven't decided whether he is an enemy or a friend yet.]

It was just one move, and before one could even see the moves clearly, the special curse seemed to be hit by something, and its shape suddenly became unrecognizable.

Nagisaki No Rose narrowed her eyes and clenched the hammer in her hand, then turned sideways and reached into her pocket, then pinched a few more nails with her fingers.

They looked warily towards the source of the footsteps, which were getting closer and bigger.

Friend or foe?

They were nervous to think.

If they are friends, they will have escaped death this time. If they are enemies, they will face the most terrifying escape challenge.

“Tread, tramp, tramp…”

The footsteps stopped and a figure stopped above them.

They raised their heads.

It was a woman with a black bun. She slowly walked out from the shadows and stood there, her eyes fixed on the special cursed spirit.

What surprised Yuji Itadori and the others was that there was a special-grade cursed spirit lingering around the woman, and this special-grade cursed spirit was even more dangerous and terrifying than the one they encountered.

The woman seemed to not care at all that she was surrounded by cursed spirits, and instead watched with interest the panic escape of Yuji Itadori and his group, which made people wonder if she was the one who had just tried to stop the cursed spirits.

After being exposed to the light, the color of her pupils could be clearly seen. It was a dark purple, and if you didn't look carefully, it would blend in with the black and you couldn't see the color clearly.

The strangest thing is that the woman was wearing a high school uniform, which was obviously very similar to Gojo Satoru's clothes. They looked like a pair. Maybe it was also modified, so her lower body was a skirt, looking like a beautiful JK.

Her expression was somewhat amused, as if she had seen something interesting.

As if she noticed that the three people were looking at her, the woman with the bun raised her hand and waved to them naturally, then jumped down from the platform. The three-meter height seemed to be no obstacle at all for her.

"Yo," she said.

The three people were somewhat shocked as they watched the woman slowly approach them with a smile on her face. The special curse spirit also lingered around his hand, but it seemed to be exerting pressure on the previous special curse spirit. The three people were secretly alert at first, but they were dispersed when the woman said the next sentence.

"Are you the first-years that Satoru mentioned?" she asked.

Yuji Itadori was stunned: "Are you talking about Gojo-sensei?"

The woman looked at him and asked, "Are you Yuji Itadori?"

Yuji Itadori stood up and touched the back of his head: "Yes."

“You ate Ryomen Sukuna’s finger.” The woman touched her chin and sighed, “In a sense, it’s amazing… Yeah, a guy like Satoru would definitely find it very interesting.”

Norose Kugizaki watched the woman talking to Itadori Yuji, reached out and poked Fushiguro Megumi on the back. When the latter looked at her in confusion, she whispered, "Fushiguro, that guy knows Gojo-sensei."

But Fushiguro Megumi's expression was a little strange: "I don't know the scope of Gojo Satoru's friends... but I always feel that she looks a little familiar."

"Are you a friend of Mr. Gojo?" asked Yuji Itadori.

"Hey - Satoru's friend? Of course, isn't that right? We are close friends." The woman raised her head and smiled, and the corners of her mouth rose when she said Gojo Satoru's name. "I have heard of you from Satoru, but you went abroad on a mission some time ago..."

"How is she doing lately?" the woman asked.

"She?" Yuji Itadori was puzzled by the woman's wording, wondering if he had made a mistake, but he still answered her honestly: "Teacher Gojo went on a mission. He had..."

"he?"

This time it was the woman's turn to be confused. After a moment of silence, her expression returned to normal. She seemed to realize something.

"Mr. Itadori Yuji." She called his name.

"Hey - hi, hi!" Yuji Itadori, who was suddenly called, stood up straight subconsciously.

"Your teacher Gojo is a man, right?" she asked.

Yuji Itadori: “Yes.”

The black-haired woman with a bun suddenly smiled as if she finally understood something. "Then I recognized the wrong person. I am not familiar with your Gojo-sensei."

"Eh? Didn't you just say we were best friends..."

"So I'm talking about my Gojo Satoru." The woman sighed, "Although I don't know why you came here, but you are also Gojo Satoru's students, so I will help you."

Feeling a little dizzy by the woman's words, Yuji Itadori turned around and looked at Megumi Fushiguro and No Rose Kugizaki in confusion. When the three of them looked at the woman again, they found that she had disappeared.

"We encountered a special class, and suddenly a woman appeared and helped us solve the special class. She used only one move, really only one move—" Yuji Itadori said to Gojo Satoru who had just returned from a business trip, "Gojo teacher, is that person your friend?"

Two days had passed since this incident. After Gojo Satoru returned from a business trip, he learned that Yuji Itadori and the others had encountered a special grade. He thought that he would definitely not let go of the rotten oranges on it, and sat at the table with a smile on his face, eating the sweets he had just bought.

He was still very interested in the sorcerer who could kill a special-grade master with one move as mentioned by Yuji Itadori, but when he thought about it, his friend who could kill a special-grade master with one move...

"No..." Gojo Satoru stretched out the syllables, like a big cat stretching its waist, "Did the unknown sorcerer you met say that?"

"Come to think of it, what that woman said was also very strange - she said at first that she was a close friend of Gojo-sensei, but she was just on a business trip abroad." Itadori Yujin recalled, "And she knew me and mentioned the teacher's name right away."

"Oh?" Gojo Satoru became interested: "Best friend?"

"But she denied it later," said Yuji Itadori, "She said she only knew her Gojo Satoru, so she was not a close friend of Gojo Sensei..."

"Then Yuji, tell me what the abilities of that sorcerer are and what he looks like... maybe he is someone I know." Gojo Satoru picked up the juice, still with a smiling expression.

Yuji Itadori looked up and recalled.

"She was a woman about 1.65 meters tall. She was wearing college clothes!"

“From technical high school—?” Gojo Satoru picked up a piece of dessert.

"The most important thing is that she is really powerful. I don't know why there is a special curse beside her. It seems to be obeying her orders."

Yuji Itadori continued to recall.

"That woman had black hair, and it seemed like she had tied it into a bun. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, and her eyes were a little purple. Oh, and she was wearing black earrings..."

Kugizaki No Rose, who was listening to the conversation, said, "Why do you remember others so clearly?"

"It's mainly because that young lady was so strong and left such a deep impression on people." Yuji Itadori said, "Come to think of it, I don't know where that young lady went..."

Yuji Itadori noticed Fushiguro Megumi, he seemed to be thinking of something, his expression was a little ugly: "Fushiguro, what's wrong with you?"

"Her ability is cursed spirit manipulation," said Megumi Fushiguro.

"Ah, no wonder that special cursed spirit seems to listen to him." Itadori Yujin suddenly realized, "So why do you look so nervous?"

"The problem is that the person who operates the cursed spirit was given by Gojo Sensei..." He looked at Gojo Satoru.

The other two suddenly realized that Gojo Satoru had not spoken for a long time.

He sat there, very quiet, unlike Gojo Satoru. One could even feel the atmosphere around him gradually solidifying, becoming increasingly quiet until it became oppressive with silence.

The three of them watched Gojo Satoru stand up, until he smiled again and looked at Fushiguro Megumi: "Where was your previous mission location?"

His tone was uplifting, yet it sounded as if a storm was about to come.
