"No problem here either," Nanami concluded after observing Megumi and Tsumiki for a while.
At this moment, Tsumiki was wearing glasses and riding a small white deer.
This small deer was created by Eichi using Round Deer.
The original Round Deer was not ugly, but as a Shikigami used in battle, it had a somewhat fierce appearance.
It was not even as cute as Divine Dogs.
Considering that all the visitors today were children, Eichi reduced Round Deer's size, then grabbed a few Rabbit Escape, extracted their Cursed Energy, and stuck their white fur onto Round Deer.
Thus, a sacred and adorable white deer was completed.
Tiger Funeral underwent a similar modification.
Afraid that the children would be frightened by a large tiger, Eichi directly turned it into a cute cub.
Its combat power did not matter. It only needed to be fiercely adorable.
Maki liked things that were powerful yet somewhat cute.
Her love of strength came from her pursuit of power, while her fondness for cuteness was a young girl's natural instinct.
At this moment, Tsumiki sat on Round Deer and smiled as she watched Megumi's flustered expression.
"Good boy, good boy, don't cause trouble. You too, hurry up and come down."
On Megumi's head perched a winged, chibi version of a frog.
It was Unknown Abyss, which he had used when fighting Todo Aoi.
Beside him, two Divine Dogs circled constantly, occasionally leaping up in an attempt to knock Unknown Abyss off.
These two Divine Dogs belonged to Megumi, and upon arriving at the Tokyo Jujutsu High Animal Park, they felt a strong sense of crisis.
Especially when one cute animal after another approached their young master, their sense of crisis reached its peak.
Because of this, ever since Megumi entered the park, the two Divine Dogs had not left his side for a single step.
They would even suddenly block in front of him whenever small animals approached.
If Megumi wanted to reach out and pet those animals, the Divine Dogs would push them away and then place their own heads into his palm.
Megumi thought, "The Divine Dogs feel unusually enthusiastic today."
Now that Unknown Abyss had suddenly jumped onto their young master's head, the two Divine Dogs immediately tried to chase it away.
Unfortunately, the wings on Unknown Abyss's back were not just for show. It could genuinely fly at low altitude.
Thus, the two Divine Dogs never succeeded.
Nearby, Tsumiki smiled as she watched her adorable younger brother.
He could simply dispel the Divine Dogs and freely interact with the small animals, but he was too kind to do so for fear of hurting their feelings. How cute Megumi is.
Tsumiki lay half-prone on Round Deer's back, propping up her face with her hands as she watched Megumi and the Divine Dogs playing, her expression full of happiness.
"Stop laughing, sis. Come help me too."
Seeing Tsumiki constantly smiling at him, Megumi's face reddened slightly.
"No."
She rejected his plea in a playful tone.
A blushing Megumi-chan is even cuter. Why is Megumi-chan not a younger sister?
Behind a nearby tree, two heads, one black-haired and one white-haired, peeked out as they stared at Nanami patrolling the area.
"Amazing. He is not moved at all by those cute creatures."
The thick bandages did not hinder Satoru's observation in the slightest.
"You think everyone is like you, unable to move when they see edamame cream kiku fuku?"
Eichi rolled his eyes.
Then he continued observing the field.
Eichi was here to look after the children.
After Maki and Mai were brought out of the Zen'in Family, he and Emiya had been taking care of them.
Although Rika was adopted by Eichi, she had been living in Miyagi because she did not want to leave Yuta.
This time, Eichi originally planned to bring Rika and Yuta to Tokyo for a visit.
They would meet their future classmates and take a look at the Tokyo Jujutsu High they would attend in a few years.
At the same time, he demonstrated Shikigami Fusion to Megumi.
That was how all the cute little animals on the field came to be.
Since there were no unruly children, and these children had experienced various hardships and were more mature than ordinary kids, taking care of them was not exhausting.
As for Satoru, he returned because of Nanami.
After having a moment in a bakery yesterday, Nanami decided to return to Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Satoru rushed back immediately after receiving his call.
Eichi happened to be present at the time.
That was how today's scene came about.
After learning about Nanami's situation from Satoru, Eichi began to consider something.
He wanted to entrust the children he had been caring for to a reliable adult man.
It was not until Rika used a "cuddle attack" to seize the panda's "guardianship" that Eichi saw an opportunity.
"Yaga-sensei, you would not want the panda to have an accident because the children are careless, right?"
In the end, Eichi gained Masamichi's cooperation by promising that the Shikigami would monitor the panda at all times to ensure nothing went wrong.
Meanwhile, Satoru made a bet with Eichi about whether Nanami would be charmed by these children or the small animals.
The stake was Suguru's body.
Because of his deep understanding of his best friend's personality, Satoru found it extremely difficult to get Suguru to come back and hang out.
Among the four Special Grades, Yuki had not returned to Japan for missions, and Eichi was in a semi-retired state.
It was called semi-retired because Eichi's Heroic Spirit was still active on the front lines of exorcising Cursed Spirits, while Eichi himself would not act unless the mission was extremely urgent.
Suguru was busy building his ideal family and rarely accepted missions anymore.
So at present, only one Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer was fighting on the front lines of exorcising Cursed Spirits, Satoru.
After learning about this, Satoru once seized the chance when Suguru returned to Japan, hugged him tightly in front of everyone's stunned expressions, and demanded to know why his newly formed family did not include him.
It took Suguru a long time to calm him down.
After that period, Suguru became almost immune to Satoru's cat-like tactics of pouting, acting cute, and rolling around.
Satoru also had his principles. He would not lie just to get Suguru to play.
So he often felt lonely without Suguru's company.
"It is not over yet. There is still a long day ahead. I do not believe Nanami will not be moved by so many cute things."
Satoru stared intently at Nanami, unwilling to miss a single detail.
After all, Eichi had promised that if he won, he would call Suguru back.
He would even give him and Suguru a brand-new experience that no one else could have.
At this moment, Nanami continued patrolling the area.
"This feeling is strange. Is someone cursing me?"
He looked around, confirmed that there was no one suspicious except Masamichi hiding under a distant tree, and then continued his guardian duties.
