On the road.
Mirai, whose right arm was held by the Snow Woman, turned to Suguru Geto and comforted him:
"Geto, don't listen to that kid Gojo's nonsense."
"You'll also have your own special little darling very soon."
"She's currently in the picking stage and should be shipped out any moment now, w"
"Huh??"
Suguru Geto, who was looking down at the rapidly rewinding fields and houses below, suddenly looked up, his face full of surprise!
He suspected he had misheard just now!
Mirai was talking about some kind of delivery... right??
Beside him.
His cowlick suddenly shot up!
Gojo Satoru immediately smelled a big scoop.
Ignoring Suguru Geto, who was doubting his hearing, he put an arm around Mirai's shoulder, his expression serious.
He asked, "Brother, is Geto's... really about to appear?!"
"Nonsense~"
"Who do you think I am?"
"Family doesn't lie to family, guaranteed!"
"Hiss~"
Excitedly taking a slurp of saliva, Gojo Satoru immediately opened a secret communication channel with Mirai—lips trembling slightly, silent, exclusive to the Six Eyes.
Before long,
Both pairs of pale blue Six Eyes glowed with a gentle, aunt-like radiance, looking with utmost affection at the perplexed chibi Geto-chan... At the entrance of Kyoto Jujutsu High.
Yoshinobu Gakuganji, the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High, was waiting here with a large group of over thirty people for the Tokyo Jujutsu High students participating in this year's exchange event.
Masamichi Yaga, as the teacher representative from Tokyo Jujutsu High, was talking and smiling apologetically with Yoshinobu Gakuganji.
Beside them,
The high-ranking officials of The Big Three Families, who were the sponsors of the two Tokyo Jujutsu Highs, were also respectfully and eagerly awaiting.
They, who rarely made an appearance in the past, were all present this time.
It was truly strange.
Naobito Zen'in, as the Zen'in Family representative, was sitting in a row of armchairs with the elder of the Gojo Family and Kamo Norifumi, the head of the Kamo Family, whispering to each other.
In the arena,
Only these three, with the highest status and position, were not standing and waiting.
Everyone else could only stand in neat rows.
And this was the ruling authority of 'Zen'in', 'Gojo', and 'Kamo' of The Big Three Families in the Jujutsu World!
Even those old ghosts among the Tokyo Jujutsu High high-ranking officials had to stand aside obediently if they were present!
Among the Kyoto Jujutsu High second-year student team.
"Mei Mei, do you think Tokyo Jujutsu High's brains were kicked by a donkey this time?"
"They actually actively asked for students from all three of our grades to go together. Isn't that clearly showing they don't want to win~"
Utahime Iori, dressed in a traditional red and white miko outfit, whispered her complaint to Mei Mei, the mature, beautiful older sister with white hair tied in a single ponytail beside her, whose Tokyo Jujutsu High uniform was almost bursting at the seams.
"Well~"
"In a sense, Utahime, you're actually right. It's indeed clear that they can't win~"
Mei Mei's crimson eyes flashed with a sharp glint, and a characteristic calm smile always hung on her lips.
"Right~ Right~"
"Mei Mei thinks so too, right~"
Her opinion confirmed by a reliable companion, Utahime Iori, with a proud and intelligent expression, rolled up her sleeves and excitedly declared:
"I finally made it to my second year, and this time I'm going to let those first-year juniors see the majesty of their senior!"
"Wahahahahahahaha~"
Looking at her companion who wouldn't stop laughing, Mei Mei couldn't bear to shatter her pure white fantasy, which was absolutely impossible to achieve, and shook her head with a faint smile.
The Tokyo Jujutsu High faculty.
Mirai and the others had not yet arrived.
Masamichi Yaga, who had experienced waiting for Mirai's enrollment, was already subconsciously sweating profusely!
Coming late was still understandable.
After all, Tokyo Jujutsu High was his home turf.
Kyoto Jujutsu High probably wouldn't dare to mind.
He was just afraid that delays would lead to complications.
Please, those little ancestors, don't stir up any more earth-shattering trouble TT
— Masamichi Yaga prayed silently.
Beside him,
Yoshinobu Gakuganji, with his long beard, leaned on a cane.
His seemingly half-closed dark eyes suddenly widened into two round pupils, staring directly at Masamichi Yaga.
"Yaga, two and a half hours have passed since the scheduled meeting time. Why aren't they here yet?"
"I, this Old Man, don't have much time left..."
"Time is very precious."
"Uh..."
"Scheduled meeting time??"
Sweating profusely!
Seriously sweating profusely!
At this moment,
a thunderbolt suddenly flashed through Masamichi Yaga's mind!
He seemed, perhaps, probably, possibly, maybe, as if he had left in a bit of a hurry?
No—he completely forgot to tell them, hey!!!
In his mind,
Masamichi Yaga had already crucified himself and whipped and roasted himself hundreds of thousands of times.
In reality,
to prevent Yoshinobu Gakuganji from noticing anything, he still bit the bullet and replied:
"They... should be coming soon, right?"
"That kid Mirai is always forgetful and likes to mess around. Maybe he's still sleeping in bed~ Ah haha..."
Smiling awkwardly, Masamichi Yaga had a sudden flash of inspiration and directly brought out the great Buddha that was Mirai.
Upon hearing this, Yoshinobu Gakuganji raised an eyebrow and said nothing more.
What else could he say?
Even if a million alpacas stampeded through his mind, he wouldn't dare to openly disparage the strongest person in the Jujutsu World, who possessed a generational gap in power, on the surface.
If someone nearby gossiped about him to that kid, he might not be able to preserve his reputation in his later years and would needlessly suffer a beating.
Another two and a half quarters of an hour passed.
Just as the students of Kyoto Jujutsu High were already furious, ready to rise up and directly attack Tokyo Jujutsu High, the long wait finally received a response~
Only... the fright it brought was far greater than the surprise!
"Hey~ look!"
"Isn't there some blue light flashing in the sky?"
A Kyoto Jujutsu High student, bored enough to count passing birds in the sky, suddenly let out a cry of surprise, disturbing the commotion in the arena!
Reminded by him,
everyone who had been waiting for a long time, without prior agreement, looked up at the sky.
However,
before their distant-gazing pupils could fully focus, a biting wind pressure suddenly swept over!
Everyone covered their faces, their cheeks aching from the cold!
The next moment,
when they reopened their eyes, they found a colossal object, a hundred meters tall, suddenly appearing in the sky above them!
Upon closer inspection,
it was actually an armored samurai giant, entirely composed of deep blue solid ice, with wings on its back, possessing the majesty of a god!
Mirai called it—
Ice Shaping: Susanoo!
Within the rhomboid space on the forehead of the Ice Susanoo,
Mirai stood beside the Snow Woman, proudly looking down at the crowd below.
"Lady Snow Woman has arrived, everyone clear the way!"
Boom!!!
After a defiant and arrogant shout, the Ice Susanoo responded by folding back its wings and crashing to the ground with a perfect landing!
Whether on purpose or by accident,
the edge of the Ice Susanoo's massive 2500-yard foot... just happened to cover the spot where Yoshinobu Gakuganji was standing!
"Wh—"
Too late to cry out, Yoshinobu Gakuganji only had time to stumble backward!
