It was a small meeting at the Jujutsu Society headquarters. As the session adjourned, everyone filtered out toward the courtyard for tea time.
"There is a fine line between helping and having an ulterior motive, am I right, Satoru?"
Mei Mei suddenly slid between Akari and Gojo just as he raised a casual hand to wave. "I've been hearing quite a bit about it from Ren."
Every head in the courtyard snapped toward her sharp voice.
"One-san, that's enough," a gentle voice chimed as Akari nudged Gojo, gesturing for him to step away before things escalated.
The casual atmosphere spiked instantly, with students and sorcerers locking their eyes on Akari—an unexpected guest Mei Mei had brought along from the start.
The calculating edge in Mei Mei's eyes softened just a fraction.
"Apologies for bringing Akari along, but someone decided to cause a major commotion in her shop today." Mei Mei shot a lethal glare straight at Gojo. "Mind you, Satoru... Akari is my adopted sister."
Gojo grinned awkwardly, lowering his hand and standing his ground as Akari tried to usher him away. In the scuffle, her phone slipped from her pocket, clattering against a side table.
Gojo snatched it up, swiftly tapped his number in, saved his contact, and tossed it back with a cheeky wink before turning on his heel.
"Satoru-san..." Akari let out a soft, exhausted sigh, staring after him in disbelief.
Mei Mei smirked. "You're gonna need that number~"
