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

The next morning, Gojo Satoru stood downstairs in his dormitory building, his hands in his pockets.

The sun hadn't fully risen overhead yet, and his white hair was somewhat dazzling in the sunlight.

Soon after everyone had arrived, he clapped his hands twice.

"No training today, let's go to the city."

Itarō ran down the stairs, paused for a moment upon hearing this, and asked, "No training today?"

"Your hand isn't fully healed yet, is it? Maki, Megumi, Panda, and Kugizaki practiced all day yesterday too." Gojo Satoru counted them off on his fingers. "Let's reschedule the training for another day."

"Then why go to the city center?"

"That's important business, of course." Gojo Satoru pulled his hand out of his pocket and pointed towards the corridor. "Let's welcome the newcomer!"

Yoshino Junpei walked over from the other end of the corridor.

He was wearing a dark sweatshirt with the drawstring of the hood dangling from the collar. He walked slowly and lowered his head slightly when he reached the crowd.

Itadori's eyes lit up when he saw him: "Shunpei, sorry, I've been so busy lately!"

Shunping shook his head and said, "I know, it's okay."

The others looked at him with slight doubt.

"I know you have a lot of questions." Gojo Satoru held up a finger and shook it. "He's a new student. He hadn't officially enrolled when you were fighting to the death on the riverbank."

Gojo Satoru put his hands back in his pockets: "Today is perfect, let's go out together and throw him a welcome party."

Shunping looked up at everyone, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally just said, "Please take care of me."

His voice wasn't loud, and he lowered his head after speaking.

Itadori walked over and patted him on the back: "What are you saying, 'please take care of me'? It's not like we just met. Come on, come on, it's Gojo-sensei's treat today."

"Huh? Did I say I was treating?" Gojo Satoru tilted his head and said.

"Huh? You're a teacher, right? Then you should definitely treat everyone to the welcome party." (Itadaki)

Gojo Satoru thought for a moment and nodded.

Maki snorted beside her, and the panda poked its head out from behind and said to Junpei, "Don't be nervous, we don't bite."

Dog Roll typed two words on his phone and held it up: Welcome.

Shunping stared at the words on Goujuan's phone screen for a moment, then smiled slightly and nodded at them.

Mashiro came from the other end of the corridor, eating breakfast.

As she reached the door, Gojo Satoru turned to look at her: "Mashiro-chan, why don't you come along too?"

"What?" Mashiro looked at him warily, she already had a clear understanding of this person's shamelessness.

"Oh dear, it's the welcome party. You looking at me like that is going to affect my image among the students."

Gojo Satoru said with a smile, "And don't keep such a serious face, it'll scare the new students."

"A welcome party?" Mashiro looked at the group of people behind him and understood.

"Okay, I'll go too." She nodded, then looked at him expressionlessly. "And I'm not wearing a long face."

Although she seemed a bit aloof, she just had few expressions; she wasn't deliberately putting on a stern face.

"Alright, alright, shall we set off?" Gojo Satoru shrugged.

Mashiro glanced at him, ignored him, and walked up to Shunping. "Are you settling in well at the vocational high school?"

When Shunpei saw Mashiro, he straightened up slightly and nodded, "Thank you. It's very nice here. It's comfortable to stay here, and I can see my mother anytime."

"Okay, that's good." Mashiro nodded and returned to the front of the group. "Let's go then."

Everyone nodded and went outside together.

"Am I the teacher or are you the teacher?" Gojo Satoru walked next to Mashiro, looking at her helplessly.

Then he saw Mashiro glance at him again, turn her head away, and raise the corners of her mouth slightly with a hint of smugness.

Gojo Satoru chuckled softly, said nothing more, and continued walking forward.

The group took a car to the city center.

When Gojo Satoru asked the driver to stop at the entrance of the amusement park, Itadori's face was almost pressed against the car window.

"The city center of Tokyo!" This is Itogami.

"Yeah! I've never been here before!" Kugizaki chimed in.

"It's an amusement park?!" they both exclaimed at the same time.

"Don't touch the outdoor roller coasters or anything like that yet, you're still injured." Gojo Satoru opened the car door. "You can play anywhere indoors."

Itadori and Kugizaki were the first to jump off the train.

Fushiguro and Maki followed behind them, glancing at the sign at the entrance.

After getting off the bus, Dog Roll looked up, raised his phone, and took a picture.

The panda slowly crawled out of the car and stretched at the entrance of the amusement park.

Shunping was the last to get off the bus.

He stared at the amusement park gate, his hands in his hoodie pockets.

Itadori ran back from the front and pulled him aside: "Junpei, have you looked at the map? That shooting range and the movie theater, Gojo-sensei said we can play anywhere!"

"I haven't seen it yet." Shunping was pulled forward by him, his steps a little unsteady.

Mashiro walked at the end of the line.

She glanced at the backs of the two people in front of her, their arms around each other. Shunping's shoulders were stiff at first, but relaxed after she was pulled a few steps.

She looked away, a smile playing on her lips.

Regardless, at least this is the result of the changes I made after my intervention.

The fact that he can stand here being dragged along by Tiger Stick shows that my trip to intercept him wasn't in vain.

After entering, Itsuji stood in front of the map and pointed to several indoor items with his finger.

He turned around, about to speak, when Gojo Satoru had already taken out his wallet.

"Just tell me what you want to do. Today is orientation, so new students get priority."

Under everyone's gaze, Shunping remained silent for a moment before saying, "I'm fine with anything."

"Anything is fine as long as I have no objections, then it's Itadori-kun." Gojo Satoru pointed at Itadori, his voice exaggerated.

"Yes!" Itadori pointed to the shooting range on the map. "I want to play this!"

Dog Roll nodded, and the others glanced at the shooting range icon but didn't object.

The shooting range was dimly lit, and the fluorescent paint on the targets glowed green.

Tiger Rod was the first to pick up the light gun and weigh it in his hand, resting the butt against his shoulder with practiced ease.

He told Shunping, "I used to play this kind of game back in my hometown; it's very simple."

Shunping picked up a gun and paused his finger on the trigger for a moment.

Then he raised his gun and fired the first shot on the outer edge.

He adjusted his aim for a while before firing again, and the electronic voice announced the score; his second shot had gone even further off target.

Haddō, watching his target from the side, said, "Your wrist is too stiff. Relax a bit, keep the butt of the rifle close to your shoulder."

Shunping made the adjustments as he suggested, and hit the target on the third shot.

He turned to look at Tiger Stick, who gave him a thumbs-up.

Dog Roll finished a round, and all three shots hit.

He put down his gun, typed a message on his phone, and held it up: "It's a bit simple, you guys play first."

Fu Hei stood to the side without taking out his gun.

Huzhang handed him a gun: "Try it and see how many points you can get."

Fu Hei smiled slightly, took the gun, and raised it with very clumsy movements. "Don't underestimate me."
