That evening, Itadori welcomed Teacher Gojo into his room for the first time in a while.
He walked over to Teacher Gojo, all smiles.
"Teacher Gojo, what brings you here so late? Do we have training tonight too?"
Gojo smiled. "Things were a little busy today, so no special training. I squeezed in some time to bring this over~"
He lifted the three-tier heated, insulated lunch box in his hand.

...Hot pot is so good!!~

And it ended on a perfect note with an outstanding home run from Itadori.
Though they had lost the baseball game, the Kyoto Jujutsu High students didn't mind. Instead, they joined
