At Tokyo Jujutsu High, after the Exchange Event was halted due to the attack, the students from Kyoto Jujutsu High temporarily stayed behind.
Because the jujutsu world was generally wealthy, and thanks to the selfless dedication of excellent architecture enthusiasts like Toji and others.
Ultimately, to the astonishment of everyone from Kyoto Jujutsu High, Tokyo Jujutsu High, which had been almost half-demolished, was restored to its original state in just two days.
Many of the rebuilt structures even underwent an aging process to make them look old.
"Isn't the jujutsu sorcerer profession always short-staffed? Then why can they still have so many jujutsu sorcerers building houses?"
Momo pointed at the Dragon Tooth Soldiers moving around the field and the dozen or so people using jujutsu for construction work as she asked.
"Maybe it's the jujutsu world that's short-staffed, not Tokyo Jujutsu High."
Kasumi scratched her head awkwardly.
Before attending Kyoto Jujutsu High, she had often been brought to Tokyo Jujutsu High by her master, Sasaki, to play, so she knew a bit about the situation here.
At least from Momo's perspective, many of what seemed to be shikigami belonging to different people were actually all Medea's.
Thinking of this, Kasumi recalled a scene she had accidentally seen yesterday after Medea finished teaching them.
Shortly after class, Momo had been squatting on the ground, hugging her knees with one arm, while her other hand continuously drew circles on the ground.
She had been muttering things like, "Darn it, there's actually a jujutsu sorcerer who looks more like a witch than me..."
'Nishimiya, curled up like a ball, is so cute too.'
Kasumi thought to herself.
Medusa had also been charmed by Momo at the time.
For Medusa, whose aesthetic was "small and cute," Momo was the jujutsu sorcerer who fit her tastes the most so far in the jujutsu world.
Similarly, after coming to the jujutsu world, a place where strong people were usually like gorillas, Medusa's mindset had changed a lot.
Because there were indeed many girls here who were about the same height as her.
Thus, Medusa gradually developed the idea that "it's not that I'm too big, but that the older sisters are too small."
Her inferiority complex, which stemmed from feeling too tall to be cute, had also decreased significantly.
Just then, cheerful shouts erupted from the training ground.
"I'm coming, be careful, Todo."
Yuji warned him after taking a Divergent Fist stance.
"Come on, brother!"
Todo reached out and tore off his shirt, revealing muscles even more exaggerated than Toji's, though lacking his aesthetic appeal.
The two began a fierce physical confrontation.
"This won't do, brother!"
Facing Yuji's attack, Todo unleashed a powerful punch.
Bang.
Yuji was sent flying halfway across the training ground by Todo.
"Being so restrained in a fight won't do, brother. Where's the strength you used to hit that bug?!"
"That was a fight. Aren't we training now?"
Yuji rubbed his throbbing abdomen and retorted.
Being sent flying so far while still appearing mostly unharmed, Yuji truly lived up to his reputation as a monster athlete.
"Are you looking down on me?"
Todo crossed his arms, glaring at Yuji with fierce eyes.
"I understand. I'll get serious now."
Sensing Todo's resolve, Yuji also gave it his all.
"That's the spirit, brother!"
For the next hour or so, the sounds of physical collisions continuously echoed from the training ground.
"Is that guy's brain made of nothing but muscle? He's just like a gorilla."
Momo looked speechlessly at the two people training exuberantly on the field.
"Um, even if that's true, it's probably not good to say it out loud."
Kasumi looked at Momo with a hint of helplessness.
Not far away, Noritoshi and Megumi were sitting together in a resting pavilion.
A tea set was placed before them.
"Thank you."
Megumi took the tea poured for him by Noritoshi and took a small sip.
"Aren't you going to find your companions?"
Megumi said with a somewhat helpless tone.
Because over the past few days, he had discovered something. Noritoshi preferred sticking close to him rather than staying with his own companions.
This left Megumi very puzzled.
But whether out of politeness or his gentle nature, Megumi could not just abandon Noritoshi.
"Compared to them, the two of us should be the best companions."
Noritoshi poured himself a cup of tea, then sat upright and said.
"Why do you say that?"
Noritoshi's words left Megumi a bit confused.
"You, like me, will eventually grow into someone who supports The Big Three Families. We are the same kind."
"No!"
As soon as Noritoshi finished speaking, Megumi immediately retorted.
'Don't suddenly say something so terrifying.'
Megumi's eyes showed an expression that said, "You have a problem."
"Yes, you are."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are."
"...Please tell Senpai Maki about this."
Megumi covered his forehead, a headache coming on.
He could not understand why people who seemed to have a screw loose kept appearing around him.
Megumi was very satisfied with his current family and did not want to return to the Zenin Family, which many people described as a garbage dump.
Even if they made him head of the family, it would not change his mind.
He just wanted to live his own life, not become the manager of a garbage dump.
"Someday, you will understand me."
Noritoshi, unaware that the Kamo Family no longer existed, was still striving toward the position of family head.
Or rather, striving to become the family head so he could clear his mother's name and make his mother happy.
Not far from the two of them, Panda was lazily sunbathing.
Next to him was Kokichi Muta, who had somehow become his friend.
Kokichi Muta had been very depressed these past few days.
The plan had been completed, and he had successfully become an undercover agent sent to the Curse User side as planned, as well as one of the witnesses who incriminated the Kamo Family.
Logically, he should now be able to end everything and start a new life with Kasumi.
But why had people constantly been asking to borrow Unit Zero from him these past few days?
Kokichi Muta, who was bad at refusing but did not want to lend Unit Zero to them to play with, spent a long time sending them all away.
Then he found that Kasumi was already playing with several other girls, forming a circle he could not enter.
In the end, Kokichi Muta could only dejectedly return to his engineering self and began repairing the mass-produced Mechamaru damaged in battle.
Thanks to Nobara generously sharing photos, the girls from Kyoto School naturally chatted and bonded with the girls from Tokyo School.
Just then, the class bell rang.
"Is there still class today?"
"I don't know."
"Shouldn't school be over after this PE class?"
Everyone arrived at the classroom with questions in their hearts.
In the classroom, Eichi and Iori Utahime had already been waiting for a long time.
Seeing everyone gathered, Eichi began to explain the reason for calling them together.
"Due to the previous Exchange Event being unexpectedly interrupted, after discussions between the principals of Tokyo and Kyoto Schools, it has been decided that the Sister School Exchange Event, an activity of great significance, will be restarted. Now, I invite Teacher Utahime to give a speech."
"Eh? Me?"
Iori Utahime's expression stiffened. Was there such a segment? Why didn't I know?
"Ahem, the Sister School Exchange Event is an activity of great significance... Although injuries may occur during the event, however..."
Iori Utahime began to frantically search her mind for the principal speeches she had heard before, but because it was so sudden, her speech was somewhat disjointed, and the content kept jumping around.
Eichi, who could directly discard his speech at a graduation ceremony, could not listen anymore.
"Thank you, Teacher Utahime, for your speech. Now, I will announce the name of the new event, which is... Summer Beach Battle!"
