[Weird...]
Sukuna muttered as he watched Choso disappear into the distance.
Holding three heated bento boxes, Itadori chimed in.
"What's wrong?"
He stepped out of the store, planning to find somewhere suitable to let Sukuna take over and eat.
Sukuna rubbed his chin. [...Why do I feel like that guy just now...was an incarnated vessel?]

"...Yeah, that's definitely possible!"
"Then should I tell Teacher Gojo so we can keep him safe?... But he seems pretty used to modern life. Maybe he doesn't need that?"

...Huh? Special grade?
