CHAPTER 24

Start from the beginning
                                    

"No, but Gojo Satoru did when that featureless being almost put him in his death bed by just standing in its spot, not moving a single muscle, and simply staring at Gojo's dying soul that is begging to spare his two precious students life."

Amusement Park is a large outdoor area with fairground rides, shows, refreshments, games of chance or skill, and other entertainments. A lively place that features various of structures and attraction around a central theme, often featuring multiple areas that gives a different setting or ambience to a venue or activity.

Liking the melted pinky sticky liquid in her hands, Shinra choose to silently seat at the last row of park benches, underneath a big young tree that is freely giving her enough shade from the spectacular sun of the evening, while finishing her strawberry ice cream crepe and watching the bustling crowd in her front.

Even though she looks lonely and alone in a place where laughter and bliss of nostalgia could be found, the blacknette is with her treasured friends, three lovable kouhai's, and narcissist sensei who are all probably busy trying the rides and mini games that the place happily offer to them.

Unfortunately for her fragile well-being, no matter how hard she could possibly tried, the poor esper cannot still stand the zestful activity of them while surrounding by a large number of unknown faces and presence.

It feels draining and somewhat suffocating as the time passed.

However, she certainly didn't want to bother or be a significant hindrance on their happiness that's why she purposely leave the group, without notifying any single of them, with a clear mission of recharging her social battery before she passed out from too much human interaction.

"Did they even noticed that I'm gone?" she mumbled to herself before throwing the melted ice cream in her hand on the trash can at her left. 

Using the wet napkin on her pocket, she then meticulously started to clean her hands, and not even minding the presence that is walking towards her direction.

"I hope I didn't make them worried or somethi—"

"Yes, you clearly did, Shinra-san," commented by an alluring masculine voice from her behind. "I found her."

A tall, dark-haired figure with spiky dark blue hair and light green eyes meets her gentle brown ones. He wears a black over-sized turtleneck jacket with matching trousers, and ankle high boots.

"Fu-Fushiguro-kun?"

"Yup, she's with me, right now," Fushiguro said while holding the phone in his ears. "Oka—huh? No! What the—! Tsk! Whatever, I'm hanging this up." He then bitterly hangs up the call before putting back his phone on his trousers pocket.

Towering his senpai's petite figure, Fushiguro keeps his soft stare at Shinra for a moment before he decided to sit beside the esper while holding a familiar can of beverage.

"Please don't do that again, Shinra-san. You really make everyone worried when you suddenly vanish like tha—"

"So-Sorry..." she cut off in a whisper before looking down with a clear glum on her expression, "I . . . I still ca-can't stand being with a lot of people, and I . . . I don't want to ruin their joyful mood tha-that's why..."

"You're not going to ruin anything by simply asking such a small favor like resting." He then lend to her that unhealthy carbonated soft drink in attempt to cheer her up. "I'm not going to force you to come back if you really want to rest or be alone, but..."

Shinra hesitantly took the can of diet coke as she slowly gaze her eyes towards Fushiguro again.

"But I want to watch the fireworks with you s—" His face exploded in a bright shade of shade after realizing his foolishness. "I me-mean, w-we! We want to watch the fireworks with you, Shinra-san." 

"Umm..."

"Can you please spare a little more time with us?"

As the sun starts to go down and willingly makes a course of action for the moon to rise up and show its unique radiant for them, a warm genuine smile heedlessly creeps its way at the esper's tender lips as the lamppost in the park starts to glow one by one.

"Okay, thank you for inviting me, Megumi-kun," she softly said while holding the can of coke close to her chest using her two hands.

Fushiguro keeps his silence for awhile, he didn't know what and how to properly reply as the enchanting image of Shinra's smile leave her stunned to the point of being total petrified in his position while having a massive fondness dilemma.

He can't also help himself to stop blushing madly because of that sudden attack coming from the precious esper who is innocently enjoying the drink that he gave.

Without a doubt, the blacknette's smile is  one of the most prettiest and memorable view in his world and opinion about it.

"Are we not going yet?" a serene voice asked, making me jolt back into reality in a process.

Before he could a mutter a single word, an enticing hand from the small figure in front of him welcomes Fushiguro.

"Megumi-kun?"

It's from Shinra, the esper is naively offering her available hand to walk with him while holding each others comfort.

"Let's go?"

"Of course," he then gradually grab her hand while smiling to himself, "let's go and meet them, Mob."

October 31, 2018 AT 7:00 PM
A curtain with a four hundred meter radius was cast centered at the Tokyo Department Store Branch.

A woman with neck-length light-colored hair with dark roots that is swept to the left side and light-colored triangle eyebrows can be seen standing on a bridge along with a man that has black hair, curved black eyebrows, sunken cheeks, and wears eyeglasses.

"It's a curtain that only traps civilians," Ijichi said with a clear anxiousness in his expression. "Civilians can only enter. As for windows, that depends on the person. Jujutsu Sorcerers, as well as auxiliary managers, can come and go as they please."

"Any reception?" Nitta asked, with the same expression.

"Blocked. All communication will have to be done outside the curtain, or through us, the managers."

"Then bring Satoru Gojo here, now!"
