Yukino silently pushed over a glass of milk, and Kaguya accepted it gratefully.
Marin suddenly cleared her throat, drawing everyone's attention.
She straightened her back, trying hard to look serious. "Everyone! Let's hurry up!"
She looked at Kaguya and Yukino. "Some of us have school," she said, then turned to Rin and Sakura. "Rin-chan and Sakura's schools are far away, too. Until their enrollment is sorted out, we'll all have to leave early."
Kaguya gracefully picked up her napkin and dabbed at the corner of her mouth. She nodded. "Marin, there's no need to worry. I instructed Xiao Ai to arrange the cars yesterday. They should be waiting outside by now."
"Great!" Marin clapped her hands happily. "Eat up, eat up!"
Watching Marin try to put on the airs of the First Wife, Chen Tian couldn't help chuckling. She had no authority to speak of—instead, she looked more like a little cat baring its claws.
Marin immediately glared at him in annoyance, scrunching her nose cutely. "What are you laughing at? You need to hurry up, too!"
She pointed at the bowl of congee in front of Chen Tian.
Chen Tian smiled and shook his head, then casually picked up the phone beside him.
The screen lit up. A new message sat at the top of the notifications, and the sender was none other than "Satoru Gojo":
[Nee~ro~kun, if you don't have anything important to do today, could you please come to Jujutsu High? I have a favor to ask, pleeease? o ? ??]
Marin leaned over curiously to peek at the message. Her brows immediately furrowed.
The reason for Marin's frown was simple.
Chen Tian had already told her that Satoru Gojo and his students were the special people who handled those "monster" incidents.
They'd only had dinner together
