A few days later, at Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Nobara, carrying several bags of various sizes, looked strangely at the five people who were carrying nothing.
"Why are all of you empty-handed? Aren't we going to Kyoto next?"
Nobara seemed to be struggling because she was carrying too many things.
"Huh?"
The other five, including Yuji, looked at one another.
"No wonder you've seemed unusually excited lately. So it was a misunderstanding."
"A misunderstanding? Isn't it the sister school Exchange Event 'in' Kyoto?"
"Nobara, it's the sister school Exchange Event 'with' Kyoto."
Panda kindly corrected her.
"Then wasn't all my hard work for nothing? Give back a maiden's anticipation!"
Nobara instantly went berserk.
"Calm down, calm down."
Panda waved his hands in front of him, trying to calm the nearly rampaging Nobara.
"The Exchange Event is hosted by the school that won last year. For the past few years, Tokyo School has won, so..."
"Why did you guys have to win, you idiots!"
Panda was interrupted when Nobara grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.
It had to be said, the sight of Nobara, the smallest person there at 1.6 meters tall, lifting Panda was quite impactful.
Panda was 2 meters tall. Judging by his physique, he was at least four or five times Nobara's size.
"It's no use asking us. Last year, only Yuta went to make up the numbers."
Because he was being held by the neck, Panda's voice was a little distorted.
"And then Yuta, the guy who was only there to make up the numbers, accidentally defeated Kyoto School."
"At that time, Yuta's strength was already Special Grade, right? For some reason, those old men in Kyoto kept refusing to approve his Special Grade qualification."
"But not long after the Exchange Event, it was approved, and Yuta was even prohibited from participating again."
Last year, to make up the numbers and prevent too large a disparity between the number of students from both schools, Masamichi hoped that a few first-year students could participate.
The scene at the time was like this.
Toge: "Salmon."
The gentle homebody did not want to fight.
Maki: "Kyoto School? Are there any from the Zenin Clan?"
Eichi: "No."
Maki: "Then forget it."
Mai: "Fighting isn't as good as doing research in the lab."
After saying that, she secretly glanced at Maki.
Got it. If big sister doesn't go, you won't go either, right?
Panda: "Panda is a good friend of humans. Panda doesn't hit humans."
Panda successfully bluffed his way through.
In the end, only the kind-hearted Yuta, who could not refuse, was left.
"Damn it, Yuta, you are unforgivable!"
Nobara roared toward the sky.
"If Rika hears that, you'll be in for some bad luck lately."
Maki looked helplessly at the frantic Nobara.
Rika's Cursed Technique was to connect with the surrounding world, thereby gaining an endless supply of Cursed Energy.
Although this Cursed Technique had no offensive power, if Rika got angry, then one had to be prepared to feel the malice of the world.
For example, suddenly slipping while walking, or even choking on a sip of cold water.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Yuta and Rika in a long time. Where are they?"
"Didn't Rika become an Assistant Supervisor? She went with Yuta when he went on a mission. Seriously, are they going on a mission or a honeymoon abroad?"
Mai, who also held the position of Assistant Supervisor like Rika, said enviously.
She also wanted to go abroad with her sister for... a trip.
Since Rika's wish was to become a high-ranking official in the Jujutsu World in the future, and to be the woman standing behind Yuta.
Therefore, unlike Mai, who rarely carried out Assistant Supervisor missions, she genuinely went out on missions every day.
"They're here."
Maki, who had the best hearing, was the first to hear footsteps in the distance.
"Where's Yuta?"
As soon as Todo stepped onto the stairs, he started looking around for Yuta.
"What are you talking about? Hasn't Yuta already been banned because of you?"
"Huh?"
Todo looked bewildered.
"Yuta was designated a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer after last year's Exchange Event and cannot participate in future Exchange Events."
Mechamaru, who was familiar with the information on both sides, explained.
"Tch, boring."
Todo looked displeased.
"Hey, you guys, if you bore me, I'll beat you to death."
Maki: "Hm?"
Megumi: "..."
Not being able to meet Yuta, whom he had been thinking about, made Todo very agitated.
By the way, the scene when the two met last year was like this.
"You are Yuta?"
Todo, like a muscular gorilla, stood with his arms crossed, looking down at the slender Yuta.
"Uh, yes, that's me."
Yuta, carrying a katana, scratched his face awkwardly.
"I thought a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer from Tokyo School would be a spirited guy, but I didn't expect him to be so delicate."
That statement was not wrong.
Among many powerful Jujutsu Sorcerers, Yuta was the only one who did not look like a gorilla.
Yuki was taller and stronger than him.
"Although I no longer have any expectations, I'll still ask, Yuta!"
"Yes!"
Todo's stern tone made Yuta instinctively become serious.
"What type of woman do you like?"
"Yes... E-eh?!"
Yuta's eyes instantly went blank.
It was as if he could not comprehend what was happening.
"Oh, about that, why don't you just take a look?"
Eichi, who had appeared out of nowhere, suddenly spoke.
"Rika-chan, come out. Someone wants to meet Yuta's most, most, most beloved wife~"
Just then, a white, slightly distorted figure emerged from behind Yuta.
"Cursed Spirit? No, it should be a Shikigami."
The moment Shikigami Rika appeared, the members of Kyoto School immediately took fighting stances.
"Oh my, Yuta, even after getting married..."
Ignoring the actions of the Kyoto School members, Shikigami Rika twisted around, covering her face with both hands like a real maiden.
"Rika, calm down."
Seeing Yuta intimately hugging and interacting with such a Rika, even the thick-skinned Todo was greatly shocked.
"Ahem, allow me to introduce her. This is Rika, Yuta's childhood friend who grew up with him. The two are already married and have consummated their marriage."
Instantly, everyone respected Yuta even more.
Todo looked at Eichi, then at Yuta, who was intimately interacting with Rika, and finally concluded that he was not lying.
Thinking of this, Todo strode forward and placed his large hand on Yuta.
"Yuta."
A hint of admiration even appeared in Todo's gaze.
"Uh, what's wrong?"
Yuta looked at Todo somewhat strangely.
Not only Todo, but even the gazes of the Kyoto School members opposite them began to change.
"You are a true warrior, a true man."
"Tha-thank you."
Although he was not sure what exactly had happened, it seemed he had been acknowledged by the other party.
