The meal ended with hosts and guests alike thoroughly satisfied.
With no teachers in the private room next door, the Kyoto Jujutsu High students ate without a care.
Even Mechamaru, after feeding Miwa until she was full, rolled up a few wraps to take back for his real body to try.
The matter of targeting Itadori was officially over-after seeing Gojo's attitude firsthand, no one dared try to snatch someone out of his hands.
Everyone said their goodbyes on friendly terms. The Kyoto Jujutsu High students even added Itadori as a friend and sent him a pile of Kyoto specialties after returning, as an apology.
Watching the Kyoto Jujutsu High students reluctantly wave goodbye, Sukuna was fairly satisfied.
[Mm, at least that meal I treated them to wasn't wasted.]
Just two meals had turned the Kyoto Jujutsu High students from enemies into friends. That was his boy.
His personal charm was top-notch, just like Sukuna's own.
"They're pretty nice people, too. Besides, they don't know I paid for that meal."
Itadori smiled.
Sukuna smiled along with him.
[Who was it who said treating a bunch of people out to gang up on you to dinner meant you had a screw loose?]
Itadori: "..."
All right, it was me.
Come on... can we stop bringing up old grudges?
Itadori ground his teeth.
"Sukuna, you've gotten mean!"
He immediately counterattacked.
"So, have you decided what you're treating Teacher Gojo to tonight?"
Sukuna: "..."
Damn it! I nearly forgot about that!!
Why had I gotten so moved over hot pot last night that I'd offered to treat Gojo to dinner, too?
Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
He ground his teeth as well, thoroughly annoyed.
[Whatever he wants. I'll just bring my bank card.]
[It's our shared money we're spending anyway.]
Itadori: "..."
