After escaping from Suguru Geto.
Ronawa chose not to return to that little courtyard.
She wasn't sure whether it was still safe.
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 couldn't beat him and couldn't get away.
Otherwise, she would have run off ages ago.
And now, she had her chance.
She had it all planned out.
Once she escaped Tokyo, she would find some small place to hide.
She would lie low and grow stronger for a while.
Once she was strong enough, she would come back out and have some fun.
Maybe she would even get to witness Satoru Gojo being sliced into 2.5 Gojos by Sukuna.
That would definitely be entertaining.
However, Ronawa's fantasy of being "the strongest" did not last long.
A familiar face soon appeared before her.
It was Satoru Gojo.
When he saw Ronawa approach, Satoru Gojo even handed her the ice cream cone he had bought.
He said, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you here."
"How did you end up over here? I remember you never used to come this way."
Ronawa complained inwardly, Coincidence my ass.
But considering that she couldn't beat him, she could only keep those thoughts to herself.
On the surface, she deliberately acted as though she 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."
"Seriously, 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 was just running around aimlessly."
"I was worried the little courtyard wasn't safe, so I didn't dare go back. I could only find somewhere to hide first."
Ronawa's explanation was perfectly logical.
If not for the Six Eyes, which allowed Satoru Gojo to observe Ronawa's microexpressions, he might actually have believed her.
But he did not pursue the matter.
After all, the blame for this matter truly lay 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 no big deal. As long as he refused to admit it, and 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 she was not the kind of Curse that only wanted to kill.
She had her own principles, and she could abide by them.
When it came to death, she only witnessed it. She would not take the initiative to create it.
Even when faced with Suguru Geto's invitation, she had simply turned 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 he was 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 another word.
But Ronawa was not.
That was why Satoru Gojo had protected her and kept her around until now.
After this incident.
Satoru Gojo knew he had to arrange a new place for Ronawa to live.
She definitely could not continue living in the little courtyard he had prepared before.
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.
Because she possessed the rare Reverse Cursed Technique and could use it to heal others, she had become one of Jujutsu Society's top healing specialists.
She was currently the school doctor at Jujutsu High, and her relationship with Satoru Gojo could not exactly be called good—only the kind forged through life and death.
That made her someone Satoru Gojo could trust, so that very day, he brought Ronawa to see Shoko Ieiri.
After knocking, they entered Shoko Ieiri's home.
She had clearly just been woken up, her eyes filled with unhidden disdain and morning irritation.
"Shoko, long time no see."
"You're still as beautiful as ever!"
Since he was asking for a favor, Satoru Gojo did not mind saying a few nice things, especially since they were true.
Faced with Satoru Gojo's praise, Shoko Ieiri merely gave him a flat glance.
Then she said impatiently, "You must be here because you need something."
"Say it if you do. Whether I agree depends on my mood!"
She knew Satoru Gojo too well. She knew he never came knocking without a reason.
Satoru Gojo knew he could not hide it from Shoko Ieiri. After chuckling, he called to Ronawa outside the door.
"Come in already. Meet your future roommate."
Only then did Ronawa slowly shuffle inside.
The moment Shoko Ieiri saw her, the disdain in her eyes vanished.
It was replaced by sparkling little stars.
So cute. The cutest in the world!
That was Shoko Ieiri's first impression of Ronawa.
But she quickly came back to her senses. "Wait, roommate?"
"What do you mean? Don't tell me you want her to live here with me?"
"Bingo, you got it."
"So? Surprised? Didn't see that coming?"
Shoko Ieiri was indeed somewhat tempted.
Just imagining a soft, adorable little white-haired cake living in her home, greeting her every day in that sweet, soft voice with, "Welcome home."
It sounded pretty nice.
But her rationality was not blinded by Ronawa's cuteness.
She quickly realized the key issue.
"Wait. If I remember correctly, you went to exorcise that newly born Special-Grade Curse some time ago, didn't you?"
"And recently, I received word that you did not exorcise that Special-Grade Curse. You secretly hid her instead."
"So this is the Special-Grade Curse you hid?!"
Although her tone still carried a trace of uncertainty, 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 at the side.
At that moment, she instinctively learned how to act cute.
After struggling to withstand Ronawa's adorable assault, Shoko Ieiri still shook her head. "I can't agree to this. This matter involves too much. I don't want to become a sinner."
Satoru Gojo could be willful because he had the right to be willful.
His strength was enough to support his occasional whims.
But if Shoko Ieiri copied Satoru Gojo.
She would be dead for sure.
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 get-out-of-death-free card.
If she went too far, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups would definitely kill her.
Satoru Gojo knew that as well. Seeing Shoko Ieiri's resolute attitude.
He did not press her any further.
Just as Satoru Gojo was about to leave with Ronawa and find another place for her to stay.
Shoko Ieiri ultimately could not hold back.
"Fine. Consider me indebted to you."
"I hope you won't make me regret what I'm doing today!"
Shoko Ieiri said to Satoru Gojo and Ronawa.
