All anyone could say was that people saw others through their own filters, and experience shaped them.
Junpei Yoshino, whose rose-tinted view of Aikawa Kaze stretched for miles, saw absolutely nothing wrong with how things had unfolded.
As two helpful passersby, they had delivered a whole group to the police station without facing so much as a single question themselves.
Thanks to Reverse Cursed Technique, the thugs had no injuries anywhere on their bodies. Naturally, the police had no reason to suspect the two of them, but the same might not hold true for those guys.
After all, there were plenty of bloodstains on them and on the ground.
Since that blood wasn't their own, it had to belong to someone else. They would probably be grilled by the police for quite a while.
Of course, whatever happened, Aikawa Kaze and Junpei Yoshino were outwardly clean, without any signs of a fight on their bodies, so they naturally had nothing to worry about.
"Just what I'd expect from you. You even carried several changes of clean clothes..."
With his injuries healed and clothes lent to him, Junpei Yoshino couldn't help marveling. That was so thoughtful!
"Well, in our line of work, we run into all kinds of trouble for all kinds of reasons."
"Could you tell me more about Jujutsu Society?"
"I don't mind, but won't it be a problem if you don't go home soon?"
Aikawa Kaze suddenly realized something-he had originally expected to finish things here quickly, head straight back, and continue enjoying the hot springs with his classmates.
In reality, dealing with the trouble hadn't taken much time, but he hadn't had a chance to leave a Teleportation Circle at the hot spring inn!
At this hour, the buses had stopped running, and there weren't many taxis
