Curse Return: Demon Void Girl Doesn't Want to Be a Weakling

The sister school exchange meeting was held at 8:00 a.m.

Mashiro arrived early and stood at the door.

Why is everyone empty-handed?

A voice came from behind, and Mashiro turned his head to look. It was Kugizaki.

She carried large and small bags, looking at the other people who were going out normally with a surprised expression.

"No, on the contrary, why do you have so much luggage..." the panda said in surprise.

"Aren't we going to Kyoto?"

"It came from Kyoto."

Mashiro walked over and saw Kugizaki looking dejected.

She approached and gently patted Kugizaki's head: "It's okay, I'll take you to Kyoto next time."

Kugizaki looked up, saw Mashiro, and gently hugged her, nuzzling her head against her chest. "Then let's go to Kyoto together next time, okay?"

"Mmm." Mashiro gently patted her back, helping her to stand up.

She sensed that the Kyoto school was approaching.

A few minutes later, the Kyoto school's convoy arrived at the entrance of the high school, the doors opened, and the Kyoto school students filed out.

The first one to jump was Higashido Aoi.

When the 1.9-meter-tall man squeezed out of the car, the vehicle swayed slightly, and dust rose up when he landed.

Then the others got off the bus one by one, looking at the people from the Tokyo school waiting at the door.

"Oh my, are they welcoming us?"

"The bone of Yi is not here."

Zenin Mai looked at Mashiro standing next to Kugizaki and said, "Why did you bring in another little brat after just a few days? What's that thing on her head? It's quite cute."

Kugizaki stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and glared at him, saying, "What are you talking about? She's someone you can talk to!"

"Hey, hey, hey, it was just a casual question, why are you getting so worked up?" Zhenyi smiled slightly and stood still.

"Hello, Ms. Mai, I'm Kujo Mashiro, the supervisor of this exchange meeting," Mashiro said, nodding to her.

"Supervision?"

Mayi wanted to ask something more, but Ankagi came over.

Where is that idiot?

"Fool?"

"Wu is late," said the panda.

Just then, Gojo Satoru pushed a huge stainless steel food cart down the slope. It was taller than a person and covered with a white cloth.

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

"Gojo Satoru..." This is the song of the geisha.

"Gojo Satoru!" This is Miwa Kasumi.

Gojo Satoru pushed the food cart to the center of the playground, parked the handcart next to it, and then opened his arms.

"Sorry for keeping you all waiting! I was away on a business trip overseas, so preparing the gifts took a little longer than expected. I apologize for that."

He picked up a pink-wrapped paper bag from the trolley, walked up to the Kyoto school line, and stuffed it directly into Sanlun Xia's arms.

"This is for Sanlun, an overseas exclusive matcha chocolate, which is said to be very sweet."

Miwa Kasumi froze, clutching the paper bag, unsure how to react.

Without waiting for her, Gojo Satoru took a second paper bag from the trolley and tossed it to Nishimiya Momo.

"Nishimiya-san's tea and hand cream set is perfect for a girl."

"Kamo-kun's black tea, I can guarantee its quality."

"I personally picked out the body lotion and scented candles for Zhenyi."

"Toudou-kun, fitness protein powder, overseas exclusive flavor."

When it was Kokichi's turn, Gojo Satoru placed an unusually large paper bag on the ground next to him.

"Since it's inconvenient for Mechanical Maru to carry it, I've left it here. It's a tool maintenance kit; it should be useful."

Gojo Satoru dusted off non-existent dust from his hands and returned to the food cart.

He turned around to face the students at the Tokyo school.

"Kyoto has souvenirs, and of course, family members can't be without them, but what I've prepared for our Tokyo school is something even more special."

He reached out and pressed down on the white silk cloth on the food cart.

"A big surprise."

Kugizaki frowned. "Here we go again. It's probably some random nonsense..."

Fu Hei frowned and took a step back without making a sound.

Maki noticed his movement and took a step back as well; it's always better to be careful.

Gojo Satoru tore off the white cloth.

On the food cart was a huge rectangular cardboard box, big enough to fit a whole person.

There were no markings on the cardboard box, except for a few large, crooked characters written in marker in the very center.

"Tokyo School Exclusive Surprise Box".

The cardboard box wobbled.

Kugizaki shut his mouth and shrank a little closer to Mashiro.

The cardboard box wobbled again, this time more violently, and the whole box bounced on the food cart.

Then the lid was smashed open from the inside, and a pink head popped out from the middle of the box, along with scraps of paper and white plastic bubbles.

Good morning, everyone!

It’s Polygonum cuspidatum Hisuhito.

Her pink hair was covered in scraps of paper, and the cuff of her tracksuit was slightly torn by the tape from the box.

He grinned; well, his teeth were very white.

With one foot on the edge of the box and the other foot inside, Huzhang was half-squatting on the opening of the box, which was more than a meter above everyone's heads, looking utterly foolish.

"I'm back to life!!!"

There was no one speaking for about ten seconds on the playground.

The paper bag that Miwa Kasumi was holding slipped to the ground, and Nishimiya Momo's broom really fell down.

Kamo Noriyuki's smile vanished completely, his expression stiffening, as if he had seen an ape escape from the zoo.

For the first time, Higashido Aoi fixed her gaze on a single point, staring at the pink-haired boy on the box, lost in thought.

Megumi Fushiguro and Kugizaki looked like they'd seen a ghost.

Mashiro stood still, her red eyes hidden beneath the wings watching Itadori's ridiculously silly pose, her lips twitching slightly.

She subtly moved a little further away.

Huzhang jumped off the box, landing with a scattering of paper scraps all over the floor, and several pieces of hair still stuck in his hair.

"Fukuguro! Long time no see!" He waved to Fukuguro Megumi.

Megumi Fushiguro kept her mouth open and mechanically raised her hand, "Hmm."

Itachi turned to Mashiro, his smile brighter than the sun.

Even before he opened his mouth, Mashiro knew what he was going to say.

"Mashiro-nee! Did I make a cool entrance? It was designed by Gojo-sensei. There was a hidden compartment inside that box. I waited in there for almost ten minutes until my legs went numb."

Ah, sure enough.

"...It's alright." Mashiro raised her hand and touched the feathers covering her eyes, saying with a forced smile.

"What do you mean by 'not bad'?" Itachi persisted, pressing for an answer.

"...Well, it was quite surprising...uh, a pleasant surprise." Mashiro wiped away non-existent cold sweat, feeling immense pressure.

Oblivious to what was happening, Itajimaru chuckled and then turned around to meet Kugizaki's gaze.

Kugizaki Nobara stood still, without moving.

Her fingers hung at her sides, the tips pinching the edge of her school uniform skirt.

His lips opened and closed briefly, his expression a complex mix of anger, resentment, and relief.

The wind on the playground blew the stray hairs on her forehead, and her eyes were red-rimmed.

"Wild Rose, that..." Yuzhang raised his hand.

boom.

Kugisaki landed a punch on Itadori's shoulder. Unlike the playful punches he usually throws during sparring, this was a solid, heavy blow. The fist mark on his shoulder was visible even through his sportswear.

Huzhang's shoulder was slightly twisted from the blow, but he didn't dodge.

"You bastard!!!" Kugizaki's voice wasn't loud, but he suppressed a sob. "You're dead! You're definitely dead! Fushiguro watched you die! Do you know that last night I was even thinking of calling Mashiro on LINE to ask when your body would be buried!!!"

She punched the same spot again.

Tiger Staff, with his fist pressed against it, dared not move.

"I fucking thought we were going to carry your ashes back to Sendai!!!"

The third punch was lighter than the first two.

Kugizaki's fist stopped at Itadori's chest and didn't strike again; her shoulders were trembling.

Itadori stood still, then raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "I'm sorry, I actually revived two days ago, but Gojo-sensei said we had to maintain the mystery..."

"Shut up."

"yes!"

Kugizaki took a deep breath, forced back his tears, and then wiped his eyes hard with his sleeve.

She looked up at Huzhang and took a deep breath.

"You're not allowed to die again."

"Oh, I won't do it again." Itari chuckled, rubbing his shoulder. "Wild Rose, you've gotten stronger again."

"Of course, I only ate during my hospital stay." Kugizaki wiped his eyes again. "Also, next time something like this happens, tell me in advance, or I'll put wasabi in your food."

Haddō's expression changed slightly. "Your methods are too ruthless."

Kugizaki didn't answer him again. She lowered her hand from the corner of her eye, her eyes were still red, but the corners of her mouth were already turning up in a smile.

She took a deep breath, straightened up, and walked to Mashiro's side.

"You already knew, didn't you?" Kugizaki said to Mashiro in a low voice, "Is this the surprise you mentioned when you visited me last time?"

"Um."

"So what you said before about arrangements after the exchange battle was false?"

"Really, after the exchange battle, he would cook us a meal separately as an apology."

Kugizaki paused for a moment, then muttered a curse under his breath.

"You two are really the same."
