After escaping from Suguru Geto.
Ronawa did not choose to return to that little courtyard.
She was not sure whether it was still safe there.
Besides, she realized this was a good opportunity.
An opportunity to leave Satoru Gojo.
Did he really think she enjoyed being watched by him?
It was only because she could not beat him and could not get away.
Otherwise, she would have run off long ago.
And now, she had her chance.
She had already made her plans.
Once she escaped Tokyo, she would find some small place to hide.
She would quietly build herself up for a while.
Once she was strong enough, she would come back out and have some fun.
Maybe she would even get to witness Sukuna cutting Satoru Gojo into Gojo 2.5.
That would definitely be entertaining.
However, Ronawa's "most Ronawa" fantasy did not last long.
A familiar face soon appeared before her.
It was none other than Satoru Gojo.
When he saw Ronawa, Satoru Gojo handed her the ice cream cone he had bought. "What a coincidence. I never thought I'd run into you here."
"How did you end up over here? I remember you never used to come this way."
Coincidence my ass.
But considering that she could not beat him, she could only think it to herself.
On the surface, she deliberately put on the expression of someone who had found her savior.
She hurried over and complained, "Teacher Gojo, you have no idea what I've been through."
"I didn't do anything, but someone suddenly started chasing me. There was even this creepy-looking guy who wanted me to go with him."
"That's hilarious. Everyone knows I'm utterly loyal to you, Teacher Gojo. How could I possibly betray you?"
"As for why I came here, I don't know either. I just ran around randomly."
"I was worried the little courtyard wasn't safe, and I didn't dare go back, so I could only find somewhere to hide first."
Ronawa's explanation was perfectly logical.
If not for Satoru Gojo's Six Eyes, which could observe Ronawa's microexpressions, he might have almost believed her.
Still, he did not pursue the matter.
After all, the blame for this really did lie with Satoru Gojo.
His credibility was too low. No one believed him.
As a result, Ronawa simply could not keep it hidden.
But it was not a big problem. As long as he stubbornly denied it, and as long as Ronawa was not caught red-handed.
Who would dare force him?
As for Ronawa, although she was not exactly honest.
Satoru Gojo had also become certain that Ronawa was not the sort of Curse that only wanted to kill, kill, kill.
She had her own principles.
And she could abide by them.
When it came to death, she only witnessed it. She would not personally create it.
Even when faced with Suguru Geto's invitation, she had turned around and left.
Combined with Satoru Gojo's observations over the past few days, he had finally put his mind at ease about Ronawa.
In truth, Satoru Gojo was reckless, but not stupid.
If Ronawa had been the kind of Curse who acted one way in public and another in private.
Satoru Gojo would have exorcised her without a second word.
But Ronawa was not.
That was why Satoru Gojo had been able to protect her and keep her until now.
After this incident.
Satoru Gojo knew he had to arrange a new residence for Ronawa.
She definitely could not keep living in the little courtyard he had originally prepared.
After thinking for a long time, Satoru Gojo eventually turned to his good friend, Shoko Ieiri.
Shoko Ieiri was twenty-eight years old. She had entered Jujutsu High in the same year as Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, and they had graduated together as well.
Because she had mastered the rare Reverse Cursed Technique and could use it to heal others.
She had become one of the top healing specialists in Jujutsu Society.
She was currently working as the school doctor at Jujutsu High.
Her relationship with Satoru Gojo could not exactly be called good. They were simply the kind who had lived and died together.
That made her someone Satoru Gojo could trust.
That very day, he brought Ronawa to see Shoko Ieiri.
After knocking on the door, they entered Shoko Ieiri's home.
She had clearly just been woken up. Her eyes were full of obvious annoyance and morning grumpiness.
"Shoko, long time no see. You're still as beautiful as ever!"
Since he needed a favor, Satoru Gojo did not mind saying something nice, especially since it was the truth.
Faced with Satoru Gojo's praise, Shoko Ieiri merely gave him an indifferent glance.
Then she said impatiently, "You must have come here for something."
"If you have something to say, say it. Whether I agree depends on my mood."
She knew Satoru Gojo too well. She knew he would not come knocking unless he had a reason.
Satoru Gojo also knew he could not hide it from Shoko Ieiri. After chuckling, he said to Ronawa outside the door, "Come in already. Take a look at your future roommate."
Ronawa finally shuffled inside.
The instant Shoko Ieiri saw her, the disdain in her eyes vanished.
In its place were glittering little stars.
So cute. The cutest in the world!
That was Shoko Ieiri's first impression of Ronawa.
But Shoko Ieiri quickly came back to her senses. "Wait, roommate?"
"What do you mean? You're not planning to have her live with me, are you?"
"Bingo, you got it right."
"How about it? Surprised? Unexpected?"
Shoko Ieiri really was a little tempted.
Just imagine it: a soft, adorable little white-haired cupcake living in her house, greeting her every day in a sweet, soft voice with, "Welcome home."
It actually sounded rather appealing.
However, her reason had not been blinded by Ronawa's cuteness.
She quickly realized the crucial point.
"Wait. If I remember correctly, you went to exorcise that newly born Special-Grade Curse some time ago, right?"
"But I recently received word that you didn't exorcise that Special-Grade Curse. You secretly hid her instead."
"So this is the Special-Grade Curse you hid away?!"
Although there was still some uncertainty in her tone, Shoko Ieiri had clearly already decided that her guess was correct.
Seeing that he could not fool her, Satoru Gojo had no choice but to admit it.
"Fine, you guessed right. She really is that Special-Grade Curse."
"But trust me, Ronawa is a good kid. She won't pose a threat to us humans."
As if to cooperate with Satoru Gojo's words, Ronawa nodded furiously beside him.
At that moment, she instinctively learned how to act cute.
After great difficulty resisting Ronawa's adorable assault, Shoko Ieiri still shook her head. "I can't agree to this. This matter is too serious. I don't want to become a sinner."
Satoru Gojo could be willful because he had the qualifications to be willful.
His strength was enough to support his occasional whims.
But if Shoko Ieiri tried to imitate Satoru Gojo.
She would definitely die.
The Jujutsu Higher-Ups would never let her off.
They might even order her execution.
Although her healing ability was rare, and there were very few people like her in all of Jujutsu Society.
That did not mean it could serve as a talisman against death.
If she went too far, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups would absolutely kill her.
Satoru Gojo knew that too. Seeing Shoko Ieiri's firm attitude.
He did not force the matter any further.
Just as Satoru Gojo was about to leave with Ronawa and think of another place for her to stay.
Shoko Ieiri ultimately could not hold herself back.
"Forget it. Consider it a debt I owe you two."
"I just hope you won't make me regret what I did today."
Shoko Ieiri said this to Satoru Gojo and Ronawa.
