One week has gone after the talk and revelation with itadori Yuji. Sukuna is also not doing anything against his will. Yuji believed it was uncommon for the king of curses not to rape him again in the same place four days ago. Within sukuna domain.
However, seven days have gone and it appears that nothing has happened. For some reason, Yuji thought he had some privacy because the curse did not say any words or try to rush him.
He even considered refusing the alternatives and simply dying with sukuna, he did think about it. Because it appears to be the simplest method. Despite this, Sukuna can hear his thoughts. He did not express his view on the subject. He had an odd feeling. Sure, this cursed monarch enjoys debating and pointing out his decisions and thoughts, becoming thrilled about his task and ready to humiliate him.
Just one week. Sukuna went a week without speaking in his conscious thoughts. Yuji assures himself that it's merely the pride of being king of curses.
Well, That doesn't matter right now. He just needs some time to think everything out.
Yuji was on his way outside to meet his friends; they were going out today, and hanging out with Nobara and Megumi is enjoyable. Throughout the day of shopping, Nobara simply asked him to carry all of her belongings. He doesn't find it irritating, yet he finds Nobara frightening.
"Fushigurou! Kugisaki!" Yuji cheerfully greeted them as they approached.
They returned Yuji's warm grin and began walking as they discussed everything, including where to go and what to eat today.
With them, Yuji is constantly content and forgets things. He forgot about his problems and felt at ease with his pal. He feels content when he is around them.
They went shopping, bought some items, and then started playing the claw machine. They bet on who would win the stuffed animals first and traded the prizes they received. Itadori attempted to win three sets of plush animals, including the Nobara and Fushigurou toys that look like his divine dogs.
He received a white tiger plush toy from Fushigorou, and a sun plush toy from Nobara. He wonders why sun plushie while giving Nobara a dubious look. Nobara got two plush toys, one of which featured a moon and night. Fushigurou, however, was terrible at the claw machine.
The plush toy Nobara acquired was shared. distributing the sun to Yuji and the moon to Megumi. Because of its cheerful attitude that matched hers, he viewed itadori as a beam of sunshine.
"Yours is a moon because you are usually so depressing and itadori like a sun. I am, however, most brilliant of you all. She sneered with pride,
"Hmph."
Yuji chuckles and gives nobara his gratitude for the praises. The same goes for Fushigurou.
After that, they had dinner and discussed their plans for tonight's binge-watching. choose what show they will watch.
"Horror, perhaps?", suggested Yuji.
"Nonfiction is an option." Megumi said.
"How about all of them? You know, a possible genre for what we might be seeing later this evening. Yes, we are staying the night." The two men nodded in agreement with Queen Nobara's viewpoint.
On their way home from the dorms at Jujutsu High, they walked and laughed as they spoke about ridiculous things.
----------
"You know what, Kugisaki, why is there a college at jujutsu high if it is titled jujutsu high?", said Yuji
"Who knows, we're just in our fourth year, and jujutsu high must be pretty, pretty, enormous given all of our seniors are at universities". Nobara responded,
"It's big and beautiful, you're correct," Yuji said.
"No, I'm there, and Maki senpai is there, so that's why it's pretty. Without me, it's just fucking huge. " Nobara said, Yuji looked at her and arched an eyebrow.
"What? You want to say something?"Nobara stops moving and turns to face Itadori. Itadori makes a salute sign with his hand and straightens his body.
"NO! MA'AM!" Yuji answered, and Megumi hid in his long turtleneck uniform while holding back his laughing.
"Something funny, huh fushigurOuuu?"Nobara approaches him and threatens him.
"pft-- n-no ma'am," fushigurou muttered, still unable to look at her, and Yuji began to chuckle.
They had already arrived at their dorms and had a little break. Yuji walked out to take the phone call from Gojo as he stood outside Megumi's door. His back disappears in front of the two young people.
"nah, fushigurou"
"yes?"
"I think Yuji is laughing a lot more today than usual," nobara stated as she sat down on the couch and took a slice of pizza.
"Did you notice?" Megumi responded.
"He knows how to hide his emotions well, which is why it's difficult to notice. You probably noticed it before me," she said, looking at Megumi.
"Who knows."
"Perhaps," she says.
"He's always like that." Megumi walked over to his counter and began brewing tea.
"Like, like what?" She sat there watching Megumi while he put the sugar in the second cup.
"Enough sugar, are you attempting to give me diabetes?" Nobara interjects
"Ah, I'm sorry-"
"I mean, he tends to hide and shoulder all his worries, itadori grew up in a household where he only relied on his grandfather..."
Megumi, in certain ways. He has a sister, but Megumi has no recollection of his father. He does, however, have gojo. Even he is a silly and happy-go-lucky person at times. Gojo took care of everything and came to see him. Gojo does this, even traveling to see senpai yuta okkutsu in Abroad.
Yuji, on the other hand, is in a different situation. He doesn't have a sibling, but he has an adorable grin on his face. Megumi likes itadori. He is not yet in a romantic situation, and he is not in denial about having a crush on a puppy boy with the strength of a gorilla.
In comparison to Megumi, who bullies students in middle school, he is a kind young man. Itadori, can't harm anyone. However, if it affects the people and his closest friend he will fight.
"And now that his grandfather is no longer with him, he becomes independent, wanting to protect everyone because he feels responsible for consuming sukuna fingers?" Nobara added in response to the inquiry.
"Yes, you are right," Megumi says as he places the tea on the table and takes a seat next to Nobara.
"I have a personal feeling-"
"Is this for Yuji?" Nobara continues.
"yes-"
"uh-what! No! That is not what I am referring to, kugisaki!" Megumi muttered, embarrassed, and Nobara merely laughed.
"I-I mean, he sounds like he's going somewhere far away."
"ah, Well," Nobara said, drinking and indulging her tea.
--------
"Yes, Gojo sensei?"" Yuji picked up the phone.
"Have you made up your mind?" It's fine if you do-"
"I've already decided, sensei," Yuji interrupted Gojo.
"Are you sure, Yuji?" Yuji did not respond in the second line.
It took him a minute before he answered, "Yes, I'm sure sensei.Sukuna is a curse for whatever reason, but he is the king of curses, and he kept his word. I just have one more request for you."
The place smelt like lavender blossoms coating Gojo's office, Gojo heard in the next paragraph as he sits and sips his tea while Ieri Shoko is on the other couch.
"What exactly is it, Yuji?" Shoko cast a glance towards Gojo.
"Kill Sukuna if anything happens; I'm not sure what will happen if I eat the last finger. However, if anything goes wrong. Either kill me or sukuna. If I swallow that last finger, Sukuna's form will most likely persist longer. I'm not sure, but it's for everyone's sake. I'd rather die than see someone die. I understand sensei. You're attempting to persuade the higher-ups for my sake. Thank you very much for providing me with a safe place to live and an enjoyable life. A lot of things happened as well. You made it happen. I'm overjoyed to have met each and every one of you. Thank you very much, sensei." Yuji's voice cracked as he murmured those words, indicating Gojo to the fact that his student is most likely sobbing at the following phrase.
"I'm going to spend some time with Fushigurou and Kugisaki. For the last time, sensei." Yuji said,
"All right, as per one of my favorite student's request," gojo informed before Yuji hung up the phone.
Shoko, who was looking at him, inquired about Gojo's well-being.
"Should I just kill the higher-ups?" Gojo said as he looked at the entrance door.
"Well,"
"As Ryomen Sukuna's host, the kids have no right to live in his current situation," Shoko Ieri remarked.
"However, the king of curses used a binding vow to save Itadori Yuji."
------
Yuji sobs as he hangs off the phone. He has never been given options about how he wants to live; it is all about how he will die and if he will enjoy life. He doesn't regret anything; it's just the harsh reality he has to confront every day. That's why he constantly tried to make the most of every moment.
He enjoys being here, and he prefers to live his life with his companion rather than as a sukuna vessel. or a jujutsu sorcerer. He will miss them, and he is unsure when his time will come. He fears that he will die alone and that he will not be able to fulfill his vow to his grandfather.
Yuji has never regretted his decision to become a sorcerer. He will be sorry if he just sits back and watches Sukuna slaughter people, and if he sits there lazily watching the news that many people die at Sukuna's hands, believing it doesn't matter to him. He can't go on living like that. Knowing he is the only one capable of suppressing sukuna, especially now.
Yuji wants to die in the manner of a decent death. However, what drove Yuji to change his mind? He wants to better comprehend Sukuna for some reason. He wants to see his actual self. What's it like, and why has he grown so gentle? He might be a curse. Curses, on the other hand, were created by human emotions, uncontrollable cursed energy. He wishes to comprehend this. He may appear foolish, but he just wants to get through. At the very least, before he dies.
Yuji wonders if Junpei is still alive if he simply understands him well enough. However, he is unable to respond to such inquiries. Because the individual in question is no longer alive.
Yuji wipes his eyes and goes to his hostel. He washes his face. He notices his red puffy eyes in the mirror.
Sukuna has not responded to the phone call with him and Gojo. Nonetheless, Yuji is certain he heard their exchange.
Yuji brushed his hair and put makeup on his face, attempting to disguise his swollen eyes. He sought to learn cosmetics since Kugisaki requested him to apply her makeup, and he noticed Fushigurou does it as well. He got it from Gojo.
"Makeup is amazing, no wonder they always look good," Yuji whispered to himself.
"Who are you seeing this late at night, brat?"
Yuji was startled to hear a voice speak underneath his eyelids. It's sukuna.
"I'm not seeing anyone," Yuji stated flatly, and the curse pouted at him.
"What?"Yuji inquired.
"I just wanna say you're still pretty without those, well, compared to Megumi he is-"
"Stop."
"What?"
"I don't want to hear things anymore, I'll get going, I'm going to spend time with my friend binge-watching movies tonight, I don't have time to hear your monologue," Yuji said before applying make-up.
"keh, You're boring, brat," he says.
That made Yuji feel different for some reason when the king of curses mentioned that, it's not that it disturbs him. It's simply that he doesn't want to hear it. Fushigurou is quite attractive. That is widely recognized.
"Kugisaki! Fushigurou! Let's start watching now!" He greeted them with a friendly grin before taking a seat on the couch with them.
