A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

"A promising future..."

Toudou Aoi answered as a matter of course.

"It means that there is an exciting future where Toudou Aoi and Xuanhao carry out missions together! It exists!!"

"……not at all."

Mingming poured a basin of cold water on him speechlessly.

"No need to say more."

However, Toudou Aoi didn't care. "I know what you mean, the Level 1 magician traveling with him is not necessarily me, right? I'm sure of that. Just like ripe apples fall to the ground! We are attracted to each other!! Yes, this is——'fate'!!"

"So, the recommended person can only perform tasks with magicians other than the recommender."

Mingming ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.

"We were the ones who recommended Xuanhao, so he can only travel with magicians other than us. Thank you for your hard work. I'll take my leave now, Mr. Toudou."

Having said that, she left in a graceful manner.

Only Aoi Todou, who had lost her dream and turned gray, was left standing there.

  ···········

The mission was over, and Fushiguro and Mr. Ijichi went straight back.

Xuanhao said he wanted to watch a movie or something.

And Nobara Kugisaki wanted to try Givenchy's new products and stroll around the city at the same time.

"Excuse me...excuse me...just now...were you with Xuanhao?"

However, while she was drinking milk tea and shopping, she was suddenly stopped by someone.

"……what?"

Turning around, she saw that the person calling her was actually a girl, and Kugisaki Nobara made a surprised sound.

Because if I heard correctly, it seemed that this girl called me because of Xuanhao.

Soon, the confused Nobara Kugisaki and the girl named Yuko Ozawa came to the family restaurant and sat down.

“This is me at my high school graduation ceremony.”

Yuko Ozawa took out a photo and showed it to Nobara Kugisaki, smiling embarrassedly.

"Oh! Is this true? Wasn't it just half a year ago?!"

Nobara Kugisaki looked at the photo and then at the tall girl in front of her, and was simply stunned by her beauty.

Because the short and fat girl in the photo and the Yuko Ozawa in front of him were completely different people.

"what happened!?"

"Well, I grew about 15 centimeters taller after that, and coupled with the stress of the change in environment after coming to Tokyo, I lost weight..."

"Wow~"

Nobara Kugisaki exclaimed, looking at the man who was taking a photo with the girl in the photo.

“Isn’t this Xuan Hao!?”

"I mustered up the courage to ask him to take the photo with me on the day of the graduation ceremony," Ozawa Yuko explained with a blushing face. "Actually, I wanted to ask for his contact information, but I had already decided to move to Tokyo..."

"But when I saw him just now, I thought, if it were me now, maybe..."

"Uh? Yuko, you..." Kugisaki Nobara slowly asked, with a look of disbelief on her face, "So it's the club... is that the case!?"

"Yes!! That's it!" Yuko Ozawa responded seriously.

"..."

There was silence for a while.

Then, Nobara Kugisaki took out her cell phone and called Mr. Ijichi.

"Ah, Mr. Ijichi!? Is Fushiguro still in the car?? I'll send you the link to the store, can you please come back here? Thank you!! Thank you for your trouble!!"

After hanging up the phone, Kugisaki Nobara explained to Ozawa Yuko, "The guy who knows Xuanhao better than me, come over immediately."

"That..." Yuko Ozawa was a little nervous when she heard that.

"Let's ask him first." Nobara Kugisaki acted as if there was nothing to say, indicating that she could rest assured.

"No... I mean, if Kugisaki-san also likes Xuanhao-san..."

"Impossible." Kugisaki Nobara showed a look of contempt, "Even if the sky and the earth hugged each other and danced the Lambata, it would be impossible."

"Uh..." Yuko Ozawa felt a little embarrassed when she heard such a metaphor.

"Bang bang..."

As soon as Kugisaki Nobara finished speaking, she felt her heart skip a beat. She wondered why she suddenly felt so uncomfortable...

"?"

Yuko Ozawa didn't know what Nobara Kugisaki was thinking, she was just a little confused.

"Hey, what's going on!?"

At this moment, Megumi Fushiguro, who was suddenly called back, arrived with an unhappy expression and veins bulging on her forehead.

"Hey, Fushiguro!! Does Xuanhao have a girlfriend? " Kugisaki Nobara asked as a matter of course, without caring at all.

"Huh?" Fushiguro Megumi looked confused.

"Actually, this girl is like this..."

"!"

After Nobara Kugisaki explained, Megumi Fushiguro also noticed that there was another person opposite.

He was immediately struck by her beauty, and the expression on his face instantly became somewhat surprised.

“So… is that the case?!”

"Yes. That's it!!"

The two exchanged glances.

Fushiguro Megumi immediately became interested, put away his previous difficult attitude, and sat down.

"First of all, I definitely don't have a girlfriend," he concluded.

"Is there any basis for this?" asked Nobara Kugisaki.

"When he was suddenly asked to come to Tokyo, he didn't seem particularly embarrassed." Fushiguro Megumi thought for a moment and analyzed, "And he covered his room with posters of gravure idols. A guy with a girlfriend would definitely not put up that, right? She would dislike him."

As he said this, he took a sip of black coffee.

"So you, Fushiguro, are the type who would drink black coffee in front of girls to act cool?" Kugisaki Nobara suddenly asked.

"You called me here because you have something to ask me, right? I always drink this." Veins on Fushiguro Megumi's forehead bulged again.

"Well... by the way, has he mentioned the type he likes?" Yuko Ozawa asked nervously on the other side.

"Ah - he said he likes tall girls."

Fushiguro Megumi responded calmly, as if she remembered something.

"!"

boom--

As if to celebrate, Nobara Kugisaki and Yuko Ozawa clinked their glasses.

"We have a chance of winning! I'm going to summon Xuanhao! Is that okay? Yuko!!" Kugisaki Nobara took out her cell phone and flipped to Xuanhao's Twitter, grinning.

"Yes!!" Yuko Ozawa was very excited.

Kugisaki Nobara: “Hey.”

"Link: Family Restaurant."

"come over."

Xuanhao: "? Why?"

Kugisaki Nobara: "Come here."

Xuanhao: “Understood.”

Seeing this straightforward way of chatting, Ozawa Yuko couldn't help but sigh: "...He's so casual."

"Is that so?" Kugisaki Nobara was a little confused.

Soon, Xuanhao suddenly appeared in the restaurant.

"Huh? Fushiguro is here too?" Xuanhao asked puzzledly as he looked at the two people in the family restaurant.

"So fast!!" Kugisaki Nobara was surprised at how fast he came. She thought, oh no, she didn't have time to tell Xuanhao about Yuko! !

  This girl has changed so much, I can't recognize her at all!!

"What is that?" Fushiguro Megumi asked puzzledly as she looked at what Xuanhao was holding in his hand.

"It's too troublesome to find a place to exchange money, so I exchanged it for gifts." Xuanhao responded. Watching the two people chatting, Kugisaki Nobara felt more and more sweaty.

She was afraid that when Xuanhao noticed Ozawa Yuko sitting opposite them, he would say the fatal "Who are you?"

  This is the number one thing that your crush doesn't want to hear when you meet him/her after a long time!!

"Xuanhao...she is——"

Seeing that Xuanhao seemed to have finally noticed the girl opposite, Kugisaki Nobara nervously wanted to remind her.

But before she could remind him, Xuanhao had already recognized the girl.

"Eh? Isn't this Xiaoze? Why are you here?"

The girl had indeed changed a lot, and an ordinary person would definitely not be able to recognize her. But for him, unless there was a change in her soul, it would be easy to tell.

When Yuko Ozawa saw that Xuanhao recognized her at first sight, her eyes were filled with emotion.

On the other side, Nobara Kugisaki and Megumi Fushiguro silently raised the sign of full score of 10 and evaluated Xuanhao's performance.

Yuko Ozawa couldn't help but recall why she fell in love with this boy at that time.

Because appearance never seems to be the most important thing in this boy's eyes.

"Which girl in the class does Xuanhao like?" The boys in the class were discussing this topic at the time, and she happened to hear it outside the door.

"No." Xuanhao answered calmly.

"Pick one! Pick one!!"

"…If I have to choose, it would be Ozawa."

"Uh... no?"

"She's a fat girl!"

"Really? But that guy, the way he eats and his shoes are both very neat and beautiful."

"By the way, didn't you say you like tall girls with big butts?"

"Those are two different things!"

It's easy for a girl to gain weight, even though she was fat from the beginning.

She will not like someone who will never like her.

Xuanhao noticed something about herself that she didn't know.

She hates boys other than Xuanhao.

"If it were me now, maybe..."

But she lives on the same scale as the people she hates.

Recalling what she had just said and re-examining herself, Yuko Ozawa smiled with relief.

"Goodbye."

After leaving the restaurant.

She said goodbye to the three of them with a smile.

"Is this okay?"

Megumi Fushiguro asked as she looked at the girl getting on the subway.

"At least exchange contact information?"

"I've exchanged with you." Kugisaki Nobara sighed, "It should be fine. Speaking of Fushiguro, I finally understand my feelings."

"Ah?" Fushiguro Megumi was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"If Xuanhao gets a girlfriend before I get a boyfriend, I'll be very unhappy!!" Kugisaki Nobara said angrily.

She finally understood why she felt so uneasy.

"Oh."

  Fushiguro Megumi responded speechlessly, thinking, is that all?

···········

several years ago.

When Gojo Satoru and others were still students at Jujutsu High School.

Uta An and Meimei came to a cursed mansion to carry out a mission.

"This corridor. About 30 minutes, and we've walked almost 15 kilometers." Mingming looked at the time on his watch, then looked at the corridor in front of him that seemed to have no end, and smiled faintly.

"I didn't find any marks left along the way." An Geji replied nervously.

"It seems that the barrier of the cursed spirit entrenched in this mansion is not a ring structure, but may be a spliced ​​structure that can cooperate with our movement."

Mingming analyzed calmly.

An Utahi nodded slightly: "Or is it just a boundless and huge barrier?"

"Maybe. But the possibility is very low." Mingming said as a matter of course.

She knocked on the wall and found it was soft.

"The walls are indestructible."

"Let's split up."

An Uta-hime suggested, "The splicing method is the most likely option, right? We can split into two groups and make irregular movements as fast and as large as possible, so that the barrier of the cursed spirits can't keep up with the speed, and then we should be able to get out. As long as one of us can get out, we can break the barrier from the outside or call for backup."

"Good idea." Mingming nodded with a smile. "Then let's try it."

boom--

However, just when the two decided on a plan, the entire mansion suddenly shook violently.

The next moment, the entire mansion collapsed together.

"I'm here to save you~"

A frivolous voice came.

"Song girl."

Looking at Angehime who was almost buried in the ruins, Gojo Satoru said with a smile.

"Are you crying?"

"I'm not crying!! Speak honorifics!!"

An Utahime was obviously very dissatisfied with Gojo Satoru's rough method of breaking the barrier and rescuing them.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru was still a second-year student at Jujutsu High School, but she was already a second-level sorcerer.

Theoretically, it should be a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

But Gojo Satoru had no intention of respecting his senior at all.

"If we cry, will you comfort us?" Mingming teased with a smile. By the way, she was already a level 1 magician at this time.

"Ms. Ming won't cry, right? Because you are very strong." Gojo Satoru said as a matter of course.

"Gojo!! I don't need you to save me--" Iori suspected that this guy was implying that she was weak, and retorted angrily.

However, at this moment, the cursed spirit hidden in the ruins suddenly jumped out from behind her.

She didn't react at all.

"!"

Fortunately, this cursed spirit was swallowed by a larger cursed spirit the next moment.

"Don't swallow it, you'll need to tame it later."

Another voice sounded.

It was Geto Suguru, who was also a second-year student at the Jujutsu High School at the time, and a close friend of Gojo Satoru.

"Satoru, it's not good to bully the weak." Geto Suguru scolded Gojo Satoru indifferently.

"How can there be such an idiot as to bully a strong person?" Gojo Satoru answered with a smile as a matter of course.

"You are just looking for trouble, Xia Yu."

Looking at the even more furious Angehime, Mingming laughed and teased.

"Ah?" Xia Youjie felt a little embarrassed and realized that what he said might be inappropriate.

"Utahime-senpai, are you okay~~?"

Just at this moment, someone finally asked with concern.

It was Ieiri Shoko, who was also a second-year student at the Jujutsu High School at the time.

"Glass!!" Iori Utahime was touched.

"I haven't received any contact from you for two days. I was so worried about you." Jia Ru Shaozi waved and smiled.

Iori Utahime was moved and rushed over to hug her tightly: "Glass!! You must not become like them!!" (End of this chapter)
