❝she meets the kyoto students❞

everybody that was invited gathered around a field, eyes widening as there were many, many unexpected guests.

"is that utahime I see?"

"don't get me wrong. I'm, and neither are they, here for you", iori — the instructor of kyoto jujutsu high, and senior of satoru — clarified.

indeed, not only was iori there, but so was the principal of the school — gakuganji yoshinobu — and the students from kyoto: zenin mai, muta kokichi (mechamaru), miwa kasumi, nishimiya momo, tōdō aoi, and kamo noritoshi.

honestly, the students didn't know why they were brought here, as the competition between tokyo and kyoto was still a while away.

however, gakuganji thought that it was the perfect opportunity to kill itadori, along with sukuna.

"why's there a curse here?", the twin of maki asked, pointing at inu, who wondered where marri was, as he might actually be murdered on the spot.

"ah, he's my little hime's pet. don't mind him", satoru waved off, to which iori wasn't even surprised anymore, as that man bought anything and everything marri desired.

"satoru, you're honestly spoiling her too much. what if she—"

"UTA-SAN~ I MISSED YOU!!", marri screamed, running across the field with megumi and tōji following behind as everyone became even more concerned as to why the latter was here.

iori immediately cracked a small smile as she bent down, opening her arms as she got ready to hug the girl, only for her to be snatched by satoru.

"OI! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, HUH?!"

"ehhhh? didn't someone just say that I'm spoiling my little princess? and why's it that you never smile around me, huh?!", satoru playfully huffed.

marri made grabby hands towards iori as satoru gave up, handing the girl to the kyoto instructor as marri giggled, kissing the woman's scar, specifically on her cheek.

"you never come over anymore. is it because papa's mean? I promise he isn't, he's just very..."

iori could think of many words that she would use to describe the male, but none were appropriate in front of the child.

"triggering. yes, we'll stick with that", iori smiled, putting marri down as she squealed at the new people, meanwhile the principals of tokyo and kyoto jujutsu high both took a seat under the set up umbrella, observing.

"you're maki-chan's twin aren't you? I know because you two are really pretty. I really like your short hair too", marri stated, looking upwards as mai froze, not knowing what to do or what to say.

"are you...are you really gojō satoru's kid?", a girl with blue hair asked, kneeling as she had to hold herself together from the little girl's cuteness.

"mhm! we look alike, don't we?", marri asked, tilting her head to the side as miwa internally died a little.

"yes", miwa quietly squeaked out.

"and you're from the kamo clan!! you're kamo noritoshi! I've heard about you from my papa. are your eyes okay? why aren't they open? or do you just not want to open them? I mean...I understand because papa wears a blindfold. should I ask him to get you a spare one too?"

kamo kept on a neutral expression meanwhile mai had snickered.

"are you a witch? is that why you have a broom? you know, uncle nanamin had blonde hair too. maybe you both will get along", marri said to nishimiya.

"woah...you're like SUPER SUPER tall, almost like papa", marri hummed, looking at tōdō, who was unamused.

and without a doubt, the girl's attention had swiftly shifted to the last member of the group: mechamaru.

"ARE YOU A ROBOT?! THAT'S SO COOL!! I don't know if you can swim with us, but we have food that I asked taka-san to order, and can you like do the robot dance or something?"

mechamaru prayed that he didn't actually have to dance, as he could not dance for the life of him.

"speaking of swimming, where's the water?", kamo asked, diverting the girl's attention as they saw a pool, but no water.

"huh? oh yeah!! GOOMI, GOOMI!! DO THE THING! DO THE THING!!", marri chanted, to which everyone's attention was now on the dark-haired boy, making him feel a bit pressured.

"yeah megumi. do the thing", tōji teased, nudging his son as megumi gave his father a glare.

megumi sighed as he made a hand signal, bringing out his max elephant from his shadows as a baby pink elephant had appeared, surprising everyone.

"THANK YOU GOOMI!!", marri giggled as she started talking to the elephant, asking for it to fill the pool, to which it did, spraying a copious amount of water from its trunk.

"THE POOL'S READY!!", marri announced as everyone awkwardly shed their clothes, jumping in as some decided to take the short stairs instead.

"marri, come here please", iori called out, to which marri had ran over to the dark-haired woman, who was sitting in the shade with satoru following his daughter.

"you need to apply sunscreen first", iori responsibly said.

"oh!! thank youuu!! papa, come closer! you need some sunscreen too", marri stated as iori gave the girl her own bottle, to which marri slapped her hand on satoru's arms, rubbing the sunscreen as fast as she could.

however because her hands were very tiny, it took her a while to finish covering only satoru's forearm in a matter of a few minutes.

satoru smiled as he just admired how cute his daughter was, especially in her little pigtails and new one piece swimsuit that had inu and her own picture plastered on the very front.

"okay, I'm done!! come on, let's go now!!", marri ushered as she couldn't wait to get into the water, pulling on satoru as the man chuckled, picking his daughter up and throwing her into the water.

"GOOMI!!", marri squealed, to which the male had perked up as he immediately caught the child, holding her just before she had landed in the water.

marri sighed until her and megumi got splashed, as satoru had cannonballed into the pool.

the two then glanced at each other, mischief in their eyes.

it was payback time.
