Ms. Gojo thought she was dating an ordinary person's boyfriend.

Having experienced real combat and listened to Megumi Fushiguro's explanation of the world of jutsu, Itadori has a deep understanding of the true value of the word "strongest".

When Gojo Satoru ripped off his blindfold, revealing his pair of heavenly eyes, the terrifying aura that seemed capable of crushing everything truly made people want to submit and tremble.

But... it's strange.

In fact, after spending these few days together, he found that as a teacher at a vocational college, Gojo Satoru's demeanor when facing other people always made Itadori feel that he was much more frivolous than when he was with Dr. Kikawa.

To others, he was a carefree, joking, prank-loving, and completely self-centered troublesome teacher.

He would suddenly jump out from behind to scare people when Fushiguro Megumi was training seriously, or deliberately say things that would make people angry, often incurring Fushiguro and Nobara's undisguised disdain and eye-rolls.

However, when he stands on the battlefield as a "sorcerer," his overwhelmingly powerful aura makes people tremble with fear.

but……

Whether it's the instinctive distance maintained by Megumi Fushiguro, or the aloofness of Nobara Kugizaki, who is so angry she jumps up and down but still carries a sense of awe, Yuuji Itadori can't learn it.

He thought about it carefully.

Perhaps it was because he was the one who met him first, the one who would enthusiastically recommend which burger steak was the best and which limited-edition drink was the most delicious;

He was also the man in the restaurant who, because of his picky eating, was stared at by Dr. Kosuke with a gentle yet undeniable gaze, and in the end could only reluctantly stuff the food into his mouth.

Yuji Itadori had seen Satoru Gojo hide all his sharpness and defenses, in a safe haven called "Sumi Sugawa," revealing his softest, most genuine, and even somewhat childlike self.

In Itari's understanding, the warm and down-to-earth "Mr. Gojo" is the true essence.

This resulted in Hisahito Itadori being naturally closer to, more relaxed with, and even... more outspoken than anyone else when facing Satoru Gojo in his daily life at the vocational high school.

"Bang!"

On the training field, Yuujin Itadori dodged Megumi Fushiguro's attack with a beautiful backflip and landed steadily.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and casually glanced at the sidelines.

Gojo Satoru sat casually on the bench, holding a huge crepe covered in chocolate sauce and double cream, and was eating it with great relish.

Almost reflexively, Yuuji Itadori blurted out, "Ah! Gojo-sensei, did you sneak some dessert again?! Dr. Kosumi just said yesterday that your sugar intake has been seriously excessive lately, and if you keep this up, they'll confiscate your—"

Before he could finish speaking, Huzhang gasped sharply and covered his mouth with both hands as if he had been burned.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on my forehead.

Ruined!

I accidentally brought up Dr. Xiaocheng!

A gentle breeze swept across the training field, stirring up a few fallen leaves.

A deathly silence fell over the air.

Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki turned their heads at the same time, staring intently at Hisahito Itadori, who was still covering his mouth, with a strange, shocked, and even somewhat horrified look.

"Kosumi...doctor?" Kugizaki Nobara narrowed her eyes, keenly catching the clue. "Who is that? Why would they care about his sugar intake?"

"Someone who can control Gojo Satoru's sweet tooth..." Fushiguro Megumi's brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, his eyes becoming complex.

"Does such a creature really exist in this world?"

Stared at by two extremely imposing gazes, Yuujin Itadori broke out in a cold sweat even more profusely.

He chuckled dryly twice, waving his hands wildly in front of his chest, trying to smooth things over: "N-nothing! Hahahaha! I was talking about the school doctor! Yes, the school doctor from my old school! Mr. Gojo was mentioned to us by the school doctor when he visited! Hahahaha..."

That reason is so lame it wouldn't fool even a three-year-old.

But Gojo Satoru was very cooperative.

He slowly swallowed the last bite of his crepe, gently pulled down his blindfold, gave a dramatic wink, and grinned with a mischievous smile:

"Oh dear, Hisahito found out~ Teacher, I really need sugar to keep my brain functioning!"

Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugizaki both gave each other a look of "hopeless" disdain and turned away, ignoring this unreliable adult.

Only Hisahito Itadori breathed a long sigh of relief.

He stole a glance at Gojo Satoru, who was sitting on the bench, still maintaining his nonchalant demeanor.

For some reason, Itadori always felt that Gojo Satoru's relaxed demeanor most of the time was actually a disguise.

Because he had seen the languid and at ease Gojo Satoru in Dr. Kosuke's apartment, when the sunlight shone on the carpet and the aroma of black tea filled the air.

That was a side of him that he would never show to the students at the college.

And he was the only student who could see through the "strongest" disguise.

As night fell, the dormitory of the vocational college was quiet.

Yuji Itadori had just finished showering and was drying his wet hair with a towel.

Suddenly, without warning, a mouth full of sharp teeth split open on the back of his right hand.

"Kid." Ryoumen Sukuna's hoarse voice, filled with malice and arrogance, rang out in the quiet room. "The name you let slip in the training field today, wasn't it that doctor with the strange powers?"

Yuji Itadori paused in his act of drying his hair, his expression instantly darkening.

He gripped his right hand tightly, gritting his teeth and growling, "Don't you dare mention Dr. Xiao Cheng!"

"Heh, what's wrong? Did I hit a sore spot?" Sukuna's mouth let out a wicked laugh through Itajō's fingers.

"That guy named Sumi Kichikawa, his aura is truly nauseating."

Ever since Itajō swallowed the finger, the curse king residing within him has been subjecting him to mental torture from time to time.

However, there is one exception.

Last weekend, Gojo Satoru took Itadori to Sumi Kisakawa's apartment for a free meal.

Before stepping through that door, Sukuna was still screaming in Itajitsugi's mind that he wanted to tear everything apart.

But just as Itadori stepped through the entrance hall, smelled the faint aroma of black tea, and heard Sumi Kichikawa's gentle "Welcome back"—

Su Nuo's voice disappeared.

Yuujin Itadori could feel as if an invisible divine hand had severed the connection between him and Sukuna.

In Sugikawa's apartment, Sukuna was unable to open his eyes on Itadori's skin, unable to open his mouth to speak, and even the mocking voice he had heard in Itadori's mind had completely disappeared.

For the entire afternoon, Yuujin Itadori sat on the sofa at Sumirei's house, eating snacks, and felt an unprecedented tranquility since he had swallowed his finger.

He even secretly called out "Su Nuo" a few times in his heart, but all he got in response was deathly silence.

It wasn't until they left the apartment and walked out of the building that Sukuna's furious, raging roar re-emerged in Itadori's mind.

From that day on, Sukuna developed a strong sense of disgust towards Sumire Kichikawa, mixed with fear.

Yuujin Itadori released his grip, looking at the mouth still chattering on the back of his hand, and the words Gojo Satoru had said to him in the secret room came to mind.

"Xiao Cheng... his situation is a bit special. He's not an ordinary person."

It wasn't until that moment that Hisahito Itadori truly understood the weight of Satoru Gojo's words.

Even the arrogant King of Curses was forcibly deprived of his right to speak in the face of Dr. Kosumi's pure, magical power, which he himself was unaware of.

Dr. Kosuke is really amazing.

Yuji Itadori sighed inwardly, feeling a deep admiration for the always gentle and smiling man, in addition to the affection he felt for an elder.

He raised his head and looked out at the deep night sky, his eyes becoming incredibly determined.

No matter what, he would keep this secret with Mr. Gojo.

Let's protect Dr. Kosuke's clean world, a world full of sunshine and free of curses.
