Chapter 41

Shiori Tadano looked at Gojo Satoru who was holding her in front of her and asked in confusion, "Why are you dressed like this?"
Gojo Satoru held her in his arms and told her about the incident that had just happened in the supermarket.
The scene turns back to the supermarket——
Aaron first glanced at the shopping basket that was casually placed on the ground, then returned his gaze to Gojo Satoru. He said firmly, "I say, that person was scared away by you just now, right?"
"That's annoying! Do I look that scary? I think I'm pretty approachable."
Aaron didn't respond to Gojo Satoru's words, but turned and walked towards the nearby shelf. After a moment, he handed him a light yellow apron with a bear pattern printed on it, saying, "Since you're the househusband, dress cutely."
Gojo Satoru obediently put on his apron, walked to the mirror next to the shelf, and pulled down his sunglasses. He looked at his tall figure wrapped in the soft bear apron and said in a subtle tone: "...I say, this looks a bit weird, doesn't it?"
"Don't worry," Aaron patted his pink apron proudly, "it will definitely be well received when you get home. I can speak from experience."
Gojo Satoru stared at the apron in the mirror and thought for a while—Oh! He got it! This is the naked apron play that uses the cute apron to create a sense of contrast!
He turned around and gave Aaron a thumbs-up, then said with a smile, "Aaron, you really understand."
Seeing that he understood immediately, Aaron smiled in approval: "You understood it quickly, you're not bad either."
Two men who looked like members of the Yamaguchi-gumi were standing side by side next to the shelf, wearing aprons with cartoon patterns on them. They looked at each other knowingly, with smiles on their lips.
After listening to this episode, Shiori touched the firm muscles on Gojo Satoru's arm and commented: "I think what you are talking about may not be the same thing."
Gojo Satoru grabbed her hand, hooked his fingertips around her palm, and said with a smug smile, "Really? But Shiori's hands never left me. Isn't that a really good review?"
"So you're testing me with a bear apron?" Shiori paused deliberately, looking into his expectant eyes before adding slowly, "That's great, you succeeded."
"Then take a shower first?"
"No, let's eat first."
"Why is this happening——"
Shizhi handed him the rice. Seeing his aggrieved look, she smiled helplessly and said, "You can take a bath after you finish eating."
When Shiori walked into the bedroom after wiping her half-dry hair, she saw Gojo Satoru lying on his side on the bed, his sunglasses casually thrown next to the pillow, his cell phone casually thrown on the other side of the bed, and a pair of bright blue eyes staring at her.
Seeing her come in, Gojo Satoru immediately straightened up and proudly opened the drawer of the bedside table to show her: "I've bought everything for today~"
Shiori said nothing, but walked over, held his shoulders, and laid him flat on the pillow. Gojo Satoru's eyes brightened, and he tilted his head back, waiting for her to kiss him.
"Where do you want to kiss? How about the mouth?"
Shiori pulled the covers over his chest and then leaned over to press a kiss to his forehead.
"Go to sleep, I'm having my period."
The anticipation on Gojo Satoru's face froze instantly. He was stunned for two seconds before speaking in disbelief:
"ha?"

Observation report on the Romance Academy mission
From: Tadano Shiori,
Tuesday:
I was late this morning and had to climb over the railings next to the school. I guess no one saw me, did I? During recess, Hori, who sits in front of me, invited me to visit their drama club and said I'd be perfect for playing a princess. Hori has excellent taste, and my impression of him has skyrocketed.
For lunch, I had the bento prepared by Wu. The tamagoyaki was incredible! It was incredibly delicious! As expected of Wu, even his cooking skills are top-notch. He's incredible!
I couldn't help but have a good sleep during Chinese class in the afternoon.
After school, I visited the drama club and even performed a short scene with Kashima-san. It was surprisingly good! Could it be that I actually have a natural acting talent? If I don't become a sorcerer, becoming an actor might be a good career choice.
Wednesday:
I was late again this morning, so I had to go back to the familiar railings near the school and climb over them. Today, I climbed over them with Nozaki-san. He had several plasters on him. Could he be not only a shojo manga artist, but also "Nozaki-san"? Okay, I'm kidding. Nozaki-san said it was an occupational hazard. Apparently, being a manga artist is pretty tough.
At noon, I just bought some bread at the convenience store to fill my stomach. Wu is also very busy and can't prepare lunch for me every day. He must be very tired. It's hard work for him.
My afternoon home economics class happened to include a pastry-making session, so I followed the teacher's steps and made some cookies. When they came out of the oven, I saw they were evenly baked and the shapes weren't too distorted. They looked pretty good! I packed a small box of them and plan to give them to Wu tonight. I hope he likes them.
It suddenly started raining heavily after school, and it was pretty heavy. As I walked by, I saw Nozaki-san and Chiyoko doing all sorts of antics. I really don't understand what these two are thinking. Sigh, every time I encounter weather like this, I envy Satoru's technique so much. His "no limit" technique is so useful.
Thursday:
I was late again this morning. Today, I climbed over the railing with Hori and Nozaki. Hori looked sleepy, and sure enough, she fell asleep right after class. That's right! Who doesn't get sleepy in Chinese class?
Wu prepared lunch for me again at noon, so I don't have to eat bread anymore. I'm so happy. Oh, by the way, last night I gave Wu the cookies I made in Home Economics class, and after he ate them, he never let me into the kitchen again. What a thoughtful man!
The afternoon PE class was relaxing, but there were a few little girls staring at me. It was really embarrassing. Shiori-sama or something~
I went straight to the drama club after school and submitted my application to join today!
Recipient: Ino Takuma.
After reading it, Ino Takuma was silent for a long time before calling Shiori: "Weren't you playing the whole time? I didn't see anything related to the mission!"
"Ino, are you so shameless? You didn't come after the first day and left me here alone!"
Shiori hung up the phone—what the hell! They'd agreed to work together on this mission, but the next morning, when she woke up, she got a message saying he had to deal with another mission first, and then he just walked away! She'd been alone in this school for three whole days.
Do you know what three days means? It’s enough time for Kashima-san to change her name from “Ms. Tadano” to “Shiori-chan”!
Zhuye, you bastard, I will never forgive you!
As for the mission, does she really not want to do it? She really has no idea what to do!
Shiori propped her chin up and looked out the window. It was so peaceful here. Could a curse-caster really be hiding in a place like this? Today was Friday, so she should go back to the technical high school after school. She'd also tell Satoru not to run to the apartment building at night.
Just as she was thinking about it, Hori Masayuki turned around and asked her, "Tadano, is Ino, the boy who transferred to the same school with you that day, not feeling well? I haven't seen him since the first day."
Shiori casually replied, "He went for hemorrhoid surgery."
Hori Masayuki was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Is that so? Hahaha, so that's how it is..." As he spoke, he turned his head stiffly.
"A sickly character? This setting is not bad." Umetaro Nozaki suddenly appeared beside the two of them, lowering his head to write down in the notebook.
Hori Masayuki quickly stopped him: "No, no, no! You don't have to remember this!"

Shiori had just stepped through the technical high school gate when she rushed to the infirmary. Before she had even made it through the door, a clear, sharp cry drifted through.
"HEY~HEY~HEY!"
Ieiri Naoko was writing a report. After her pen paused on the paper, she looked up at the person at the door and asked, "Mission completed?"
"What a pity~ There's been no progress at all." Shiori spread her hands.
Xia Yujie, who was standing by the window, twirled his hair with his fingertips and fixed his eyes on her: "Then what are you so happy about?"
Shiori immediately moved herself to the center of their line of sight and deliberately made a playful gesture: "Look! This uniform I'm wearing~ isn't it super cute!"
Ieiri Glass: "It's not bad, so what?"
"So, Naoko-senpai—" Shiori quickly approached Naoko and held her pen-holding hand with both of hers. "Can you understand how I feel about having to wear a pitch-black teacher's uniform after wearing the pitch-black school uniform for four consecutive years?"
Ieiri Glass raised an eyebrow, then withdrew her hand. "I understand now. Fortunately, doctors don't have to wear uniforms."
"Right, right!" Shiori nodded quickly. Just as she was about to complain a few more times, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
She immediately picked up the phone: "Hi, Principal, this is Shiori!"
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, followed by Ye Mo Zhengdao's steady voice: "The matter I asked Mingming to investigate before is related to the task you are following now. Come to the conference room for a meeting at 7 o'clock this evening."
"Okay, got it."
After hanging up the phone, Shiori waved goodbye to Ieiri Naoko and Geto Suguru in the infirmary: "Then I'm going to the cafeteria to eat first. I'm leaving now."
Watching her running away, Geto Xia Yu turned to look at Ieiri Naoko: "Don't you think...she looks more and more like Wu now?"
Ieiri Naoko glanced at him and returned to her report. "Rather, Geto, did you have any kind of filter for her?"
In the cafeteria, students from grades one and two gathered, a rare sight. Itadori Yuji was the first to see her, waving his chopsticks and calling out, "Teacher Tadano, you're back!"
Kugisaki Nobara circled around her, her eyes falling on her uniform. She said enviously, "Damn, why can Teacher Tadano wear such a cute uniform? Our school uniform is too ordinary!"
Shiori smiled and patted her shoulder, then walked over with the meal tray to sit next to Yuuta Otsutsukoshi and said, "Yuuta, please lead the first graders on their mission at the Eighty-Eight Bridge today. Thank you for your hard work."
Yuta Otsutsuki put down his chopsticks: "Regarding this matter... I still need to report to Gojo-sensei."
Shiori paused for a moment while picking up the food and looked up at him: "What happened? Did something unexpected happen during the mission?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a mouth appeared on Yuji Itadori's face: "Woman, look forward to it. Once I gather all my fingers, I will be able to eat you soon."
Shiori said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, thank you Sukuna-sama for still thinking of me."
Yuji Itadori quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth and apologized to Shiori: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tadono! He ate another finger today, and now he's too excited to control himself."
Shizhi bit her chopsticks and smiled: "It's okay, all old men are like this, I understand~"
