Problem solved!... At least for the time being. Sukuna could finally relax and enjoy his food.
As for what came afterward, he would deal with it later.
He let out a relieved breath and dug in, then asked Gojo resentfully.
"Just tell me, did you put Tsumiki in our class because you wanted to watch the drama?"
Gojo immediately adopted a perfectly serious expression. "Of course not! Do I look like that kind of person?"
Sukuna gave him a speechless look.
How are you not that kind of person?
But Gojo looked so utterly sincere that he hesitated and stopped short of saying it aloud.
What if... what if Gojo really wasn't just watching the drama this time...?
I shouldn't judge a gentleman by my own petty standards...
With that thought, Sukuna withdrew his gaze, still disgruntled.
"Fine, I'll believe you this time..."
"But there'd better not be a next time..."
Looking at Sukuna's miserable expression, Gojo couldn't help laughing to himself.
He's way too easy to fool...
No, I'd better keep a close eye on him!
Otherwise, someone might trick A-Nuo into going with them, and he'd help them count the money they made selling him without even realizing it!~
He picked up his water and took a sip to hide his amusement, forcing his voice back into a calm tone as he asked.
"So you're about to eat your fifth Finger?"
Sukuna nodded casually at the question and kept his head down, eating.
Gojo pondered, his fingertip slowly tracing the rim of his glass.
...So that means he'll be at a quarter soon...
"Remembered anything lately?"
Sukuna paused and set down his fork. Just bringing this up annoyed him.
He had already eaten four Fingers, yet he still couldn't even match Uraume, who only had a tenth!
