Chapter 67 - Chapter 65: Thanks? You Really Know How to Comfort People, Hu-zi?

..Seeing the Special Grade Curse instantly killed by Gojo-sensei, Itadori immediately greeted Aoi Todo and went to find his injured friend Fushiguro—

Since Gojo-sensei is here, no one should be monitoring them, right? He had to hurry and save people!

When he quickly ran to the infirmary, he saw that it was packed—

One room was full of First Years, the next was full of Second Years, and the one next to that was full of people from Kyoto Jujutsu High... Good heavens, was everyone there except for him and Aoi Todo?

The most seriously injured on their side were Fushiguro and Inumaki Toge. Inumaki Toge was said to have encountered the Special Grade Curse early and suffered a strong backlash from using Cursed Speech multiple times.

As for Fushiguro, a bizarre Cursed Seed was stabbed into his abdomen, and the roots of the seed grew inward, causing severe external injuries.

Panda-senpai looked quite terrifying too, but his body is a Cursed Corpse, and he can recover if Principal Yaga repairs him.

Over at Kyoto Jujutsu High, Mechamaru had been beaten into half a pile of parts by Panda-senpai; Mai and Miwa were sitting nearby and didn't look injured, just a bit dejected. Momo Nishimiya, who was poisoned and unconscious, had been brought out by Junpei and was already detoxified.

The only one with relatively serious injuries was Kamo, who had also encountered the Special Grade Curse early in the building complex—he was asleep after being treated by Miss Ieiri.

He quickly scanned the room and slipped away, afraid of being surrounded again by the people with the low pressure in that room.

After confirming that Fushiguro had received some treatment and wasn't in critical condition, he stealthily went to the Second Years' room first.

Under the strong cover of Maki-senpai and Panda, he quickly gave Inumaki Toge a wave of healing.

Since there were many people with minor and severe injuries this time, Miss Ieiri only provided basic treatment and didn't completely heal everyone.

This was the first time Inumaki Toge had been healed by Sukuna, and he felt a little novelty, subconsciously saying, "Okaka."

Sukuna: "?"

...Huh?

What does that mean?

Itadori in the Inner World quickly translated.

[He said: I'm fine, thank you.]

Sukuna: Oh... Hu-zi, you're quite proficient in Inumaki Language. Did Fushiguro teach you?

He waved his hand and spoke casually to Inumaki.

"Glad you're okay. Minor thing."

He didn't notice that Inumaki Toge, standing before him, looked at him with eyes that brightened slightly.

After healing Inumaki, he casually gave Maki a wave of healing too. Maki had been injured by the Special Grade Curse, but it wasn't particularly serious.

Afterward, he switched back to Itadori and quietly snuck back into the First Years' room.

Itadori didn't notice that in the room next door behind him, Miwa of Kyoto Jujutsu High secretly poked out half her head, watching his retreating figure with a serious, gossipy expression.

Sukuna's vessel... no, Classmate Itadori, what exactly is he doing?

...Returning to the room, Sukuna switched out again, giving Fushiguro, whose stomach was still injured and painful, another stab... wait, another treatment.

Then switching back to Itadori, he, Junpei, and Nobara Kugisaki gathered together, looking at each other.

What kind of miraculous luck was it to encounter a Special Grade Curse crashing the party during their first Exchange Event?

Sukuna, who couldn't come out the entire time, opened his mouth and muttered, full of resentment.

"What a terrible Exchange Event! I'm never participating again!"

Itadori quickly tried to comfort him.

"It's alright, the Exchange Event only happens once a year—and we might not even make it to the next one."

Sukuna: "...?"

Thanks? You really know how to comfort people, Hu-zi?

...*Cough*... Itadori, realizing his slip-up, pulled out his phone, turned on the location, and started browsing the menu.

"Agh~~~, now that we've stopped, I'm starving. What do you guys want to eat? The cafeteria isn't open yet at this hour, so I'll order some takeout. I'll go pick it up when it arrives."

Sukuna immediately raised his hand quickly: "I want pizza!"

Startled by Gojo's blast of Hollow Purple, he decided to turn his grief and indignation into appetite—delicious carbs were the best cure!

Itadori nodded without hesitation: "Alright, pizza it is~ How about this place? I ate there once before and the taste was pretty good."

Sukuna glanced at it and nodded.

"Fine, that one."

Fushiguro: "..."

Are you two serious? Pizza? Did you forget there's a patient here who just had a hole opened in his stomach?

So my opinion doesn't matter, does it?

...Soon, the pizza arrived.

Fushiguro ate with great enjoyment.

After all, Sukuna's Reverse Cursed Technique was outstanding; he found that he was already healed enough to go run a few laps outside.

He looked at Itadori, whose expression was a bit conflicted after returning with the pizza, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Itadori scratched his head.

"Hmm... when I went out just now, I ran into someone from Kyoto Jujutsu High..."

"What? They dared to cause trouble for you?"

Nobara Kugisaki immediately turned her head, her gaze stern, as if ready to pick a fight.

—They're using our infirmary and still daring to cause trouble for our people? Do those guys want another beating?!

Itadori's expression was conflicted and a little confused.

"They didn't really cause trouble for me... it's just... the way she looked at me felt strange?"

He thought for a moment, then suddenly looked enlightened.

"I remember now! It was kind of like the way Maki-senpai and you, Kugisaki, look at us when Gojo-sensei and Sukuna are chatting!"

Kugisaki: "???"

This!—

Isn't that the look of gossip?!

"Who?!" she asked excitedly.

Itadori said: "...the one with blue hair..."

Nobara Kugisaki paused.

Huh? It was her old rival, the one named Miwa?

...Indeed, the other party's hostility toward Itadori wasn't obvious... She rubbed her chin, a spark flashing in her eyes.

Maybe they should just turn her into a fan of Sukuna over at Kyoto Jujutsu High... Sukuna didn't care about looks or stares; he only cared about his pizza.

"Hu-zi, talk all you want, but don't stop your hands. Hurry up with the pizza."

"Oh oh, alright, right away~"

Itadori asked while opening another box of packaging.

"Sukuna, do you want to try this flavor? I don't think we've ordered it before..."

Bang!—

A loud sound interrupted Itadori's words.

The door was suddenly pushed open hard, and Maki's voice came from the doorway: "I'm telling you guys—"

The few people in the room immediately turned their heads quickly, only to see Maki-senpai walking in leisurely, one hand covering the mouth of a certain blue-haired girl, and the other holding a knife pressed against the girl's neck.

"—Don't you pay attention to whether anyone is eavesdropping outside the door when you talk? What were you planning to do if I hadn't passed by?"

The blue-haired girl looked at them in terror, her expression like an innocent passerby about to be killed after being robbed by bandits.

Everyone: "..."

What the hell—!!

What is going on??

Why is there a knife involved?

"Ah! Oh no!"

Itadori suddenly exclaimed: "Did I just say Sukuna?"

Sukuna: [...]

[That's right, not only did you just say it, but you just said it again!]

Why is his Hu-zi's strange self-destructing constitution still so persistent??!
