Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event

Deep in the mountains and forests, there is a natural hot spring pool.

A misty haze hung in the air.

Jogo and Hanami, whose bodies have almost fully grown, are resting here.

"Ah, we're here!"

"Oh?" They looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Kenjaku had arrived with the Mahito.

"Jogo ~ Hanami ~"

The Mahito hopped over in two steps, casually ripped off his clothes, and then jumped into the hot spring pool with the standard posture of a Filipino fishing stunt team member.

It created a huge splash, zero points!

Jogo and Hanami were soaked to the bone.

"It seems you've recovered quite a bit." The Mahito popped his head out of the pool and looked at them.

"I guess so, it's quite comfortable here." Jogo casually tossed aside the pipe that had just been extinguished.

"After all, humans won't come here, so the body's recovery speed will be faster without anyone disturbing it," Hanami added.

"Speaking of Mahito, it seems you've expended quite a bit of energy..." Jogo keenly sensed the abnormality.

"Oh... you figured it out," the Mahito explained while swimming on his back, "It's all that Shiratori Gotsu's doing. He's my nemesis; he can directly attack my soul."

"Although this game started with a toy I acquired by chance, it hasn't gone smoothly at all because of him."

"In the end, we didn't achieve our goal. Sigh... It was going quite well at the beginning."

As he spoke, he looked at Kenjaku: "You really shouldn't have made him Incarnation so soon."

"There's nothing I can do about it; after all, I'm bound by Binding Vow." Kenjaku shrugged, indicating his helplessness.

"And when I did this, Megumi Fushiguro was only six years old. Who could have imagined that he would later be bought by Satoru Gojo and join the Jujutsu High?"

"Okay, okay..." The Mahito splashed water on him, then revealed a smug expression:

"However, I suppose I turned the tables on him."

"From now on, let's proceed according to my plan, and try to avoid Shiratori Gotsu," Kenjaku.

"I agree," the Mahito said.

"Collect all the fingers and offer them to Sukuna, even if we are all wiped out in the end... right?" Jogo's lips slowly curled up.

"Alright... It doesn't have to be me laughing out loud in the wilderness a hundred years from now; it's enough that the curse can stand up as a human being."

"Wow, you know a lot!" the Mahito teased as he put on his clothes.

"Then, let's go retrieve the six fingers that the Jujutsu High has preserved." Kenjaku stood up and looked into the distance.

"Goodwill Event? What's that?" Itadori Junpei looked completely bewildered.

"Uh... didn't you tell them?" Satoru Gojo looked at Shiratori Gotsu.

"Me? I thought you'd already told Itadori." Shiratori Gotsu looked at Satoru Gojo.

The atmosphere became quite awkward.

On the other side, Kugisaki, carrying large bags and small packages, stared in astonishment at Panda, Maki -Inumaki, and Fushiguro, who had brought nothing with them.

Why didn't you bring anything?

"You are the one with so much luggage, why do you have so much luggage?" the Panda asked, looking puzzled.

"What...? Aren't we going to Kyoto next?" Kugisaki was even more confused. "[At] the Sister School Exchange Event in Kyoto, isn't it?"

"It's Sister School Exchange Event with Kyoto, held in Tokyo," Panda explained. "Because we won last year, the Goodwill Event is being held at the winner's venue."

"Huh?" Kugisaki paused for two seconds, "Are you kidding me?!"

"I've been preparing for this for a long time!"

"You still only want to sightsee!"

"No wonder things have been a bit off-topic these past few days," Maki remarked.

"Salmon..." Inumaki chimed in.

"What are you trying to win, you idiots!" Kugisaki grabbed the Panda's chest fur.

"We didn't participate last year..." Panda said helplessly, "Only Yuta went..."

"I heard it was an overwhelming victory..." Maki added, "But since none of us went, we don't know the specifics."

"Unforgivable, Yuta Okkotsu!" Kugisaki roared to the sky, "Though we've never met, he is unforgivable!"

"... This is misplaced anger, isn't it?" The Panda scratched its head.

"That's just how she is... you'll get used to it." Fushiguro coughed lightly twice.

Just then, a series of noisy footsteps approached.

"Hey, they're here," Maki warned.

After a period of "friendly" interaction, teachers from the Kyoto Jujutsu High also arrived at the scene.

Two claps interrupted the cacophony of their argument, Utahime Iori slowly ascended the stairs.

"Alright, stop fighting amongst yourselves, some of you kids are really..."

"Huh? Where's that idiot?"

"Wu is late again." Panda knew perfectly well who the Utahime was talking about.

"There's no way that idiot would be there on time," Maki retorted.

Fushiguro cleared his throat, a hint of embarrassment in his voice. "No one said 'idiot' referred to Gojo- sensei, right..."

"Who else could it be but him? Shiratori -senpai?" Kugisaki asked matter-of-factly.

Fushiguro thought for a moment and said, "That's true..."

Just then, Satoru Gojo, Shiratori Gotsu, and Itadori, each pushing a box cart, lined up in a row and drove straight past.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Satoru Gojo said first. "I suddenly had some urgent business to attend to, so I'll be handing out souvenirs now!"

He opened the box on his cart, took out a bunch of pink thread dolls, and said as he handed them out:

"Come, come, come! This is a talisman from a certain tribe, a gift for everyone in Kyoto~"

"Then..."

Shiratori Gotsu and Itadori immediately chimed in, "These two are for everyone at the Tokyo Jujutsu High!"

They opened the box together, Junpei and Hajime Kashimo slowly emerged from it like two mushrooms.

Their expressions were indescribable, clearly indicating that there was little element of voluntariness involved.

"Let me introduce you. This is our new first-year student, Junpei Yoshino!" Satoru Gojo picked up Junpei and placed him in front of everyone.

"And then, this is my good buddy, Jujutsu Sorcerer from four hundred years ago, just like me, Hajime Kashimo!"

Shiratori Gotsu hoisted Hajime Kashimo up and spun her around, then received a sharp rap on the head.

For a moment, no one knew how to react.

Finally, the Utahime broke the silence. She looked Shiratori Gotsu up and down, who was clutching his head, and then said, "

"You're the [Fifth Special Grade] who recently appeared?"

"Absolutely true!" Shiratori Gotsu gave a thumbs up.

"Uh..." The Utahime suddenly felt a bit awkward and speechless in front of Satoru Gojo.

At this moment, everyone from the Tokyo Jujutsu High realized what was happening and warmly welcomed Junpei Hajime Kashimo.

At this moment, Yoshinobu Gakuganji and Masamichi Yaga also arrived.

"Oh?" Satoru Gojo noticed immediately.

He immediately greeted him with a big smile, "Principal Gakuganji, that's wonderful, that's wonderful!"

"It's so good that you haven't slipped on a banana peel and hit your head on the back of your head and died suddenly while out and about lately!"

"... You brat!" Gakuganji's old face immediately turned visibly red.

After Yaga finished reading the rules while choking Satoru Gojo, everyone dispersed and returned to the preparation room.

At the Tokyo Jujutsu High.

"That's basically the situation. From now on, Junpei will be our comrade."

After giving a brief explanation to everyone, Itadori patted Junpei the shoulder.

Junpei scratched his head nervously, "Please... everyone, take good care of me from now on."

Kugisaki's face was grim, veins bulging on his forehead. "School bullying... I'm going to kill them."

"I want to go too," Fushiguro coldly echoed.

"That's enough, isn't it..." Panda said helplessly. "Junpei has already taught them a lesson, hasn't he?"

"But it's still annoying," Maki said with a sour face.

"Salmon, salmon!" Inumaki chimed in.

"Alright, alright... everyone, let's not talk about this anymore." Junpei took the initiative to end the topic.

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the Kyoto Jujutsu High...

"Kill Yuji Itadori, the vessel of Sukuna." Gakuganji's face was grim.

"That wasn't human, so it won't be held accountable; it will be treated as an accident."

"As for the suddenly appearing Shiratori Gotsu and Hajime Kashimo, it's best not to have too much contact with them."

"Ugh..." Miwa's expression was indescribable.

Before anyone else could speak, Todo kicked the door open.

"Boring, you guys do this yourselves." He said impatiently and strode away.

"What... what do we do next?" Miwa asked worriedly.

"Ignore him, just do as I say." With that, Gakuganji got up and left.
