How many days had passed? Megumi had lost track of time a while ago.

In his constant routine of hunting and killing curses, he became so focused that he completely forgot his surroundings... Maybe this was his mind's way of coping with the weight on his shoulders.

The Culling Game was a sick game where countless Jujutsu sorcerers would face off in a wild killing spree.

But Megumi shouldn't be so worried if that was all there was to it. As long as they freed Gojo, their teacher could solve everything with one hand tied behind his back.

What troubled Megumi was the fact that his sister, Tsumiki, was tied to the game.

They didn't know how long it would take to release Gojo from the seal, so the sooner Tsumiki was unbound from the game, the better. He didn't want to take any risks since he didn't know if there was a penalty for those who refused to participate.

Just the thought of something like that was enough to unsettle Megumi.

But thinking about the problems wouldn't help. It would only add more mental pressure on him.

The most he could do at the moment was wait for Yuki's signal to return.

"What are you guys doing?"

Blinking when a voice sounded next to him, Megumi snapped back to reality, noticing the fire burning in front of him.

"Just resting, looks like we'll be called back at any moment." Todo, sitting close to the fire, was the one who answered.

Turning around, Megumi noticed Nobara walking toward them, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. "Where were you?"

Smiling at the question, Nobara flipped her hair, her shiny locks showing how well-maintained they were. "Enjoying a spar day at a hotel... Too bad there were no masseuses, though."

Megumi narrowed his eyes. "You slept in a hotel while we were sleeping in front of a campfire?"

Faced with the question, Nobara blinked indifferently. "The power wasn't out, you know. There was no need for you guys to make a campfire..."

"..."

"..."

A click went off in Todo's head, and clapping his palm in realization, he smiled. "Oh, that's why the streetlights were still on! Damn, we missed that!"

A vein bulged on Megumi's forehead... In moments like this, he missed Itadori.

"Well, it's good they're calling us back. I was starting to get tired of enjoying all this free stuff." Clearing the ground, Nobara sat down in front of the fire.

Megumi sighed as he heard her. In the end, scolding her wouldn't do any good, as previous attempts had already indicated.

"Once we get back, we'll talk to Tengen. He'll give us a better idea of what to do." Megumi explained, receiving nods from the other two sorcerers.

"Man, I've always wanted to see what Tengen looks like." Nobara shared, with Todo seeming to have the same thought.

"My master doesn't seem to like him." Todo crossed his arms, remembering how Yuki always hated when Tengen's name was mentioned.

Megumi remained silent. He didn't really care about Tengen's appearance. As long as he could help them, he could be the ugliest thing in the world, and Megumi still wouldn't care.

"Alright, since we're about to return anyway, let's put in a little extra effort to clear this area." Standing up, Todo stretched his arms. "I can still sense some curses around."

Megumi nodded, and getting up, he cracked his knuckles and began to stretch, a relieved sigh escaping his lips.

"You guys are annoying." Nobara grumbled, a curious look crossing her face. "I wonder if Itadori is already there."

"Probably, the last thing he said was that he'd kill as many curses as possible before returning." Megumi turned to her, recalling the day after the events of Shibuya, his mind drifting to the somber expression of the sorcerer. "I hope he's moved on..."

Nobara nodded, standing up with some reluctance. "Damn, I just wanted to sleep for a few more hours."

"Get more excited, freshman!" Todo exclaimed with a grin, Nobara responding with an annoyed glare.

"Easy for you to say, you guys have fun with anything!"

Todo let out a laugh. He had enjoyed interacting with these two over the past few days... Even if Megumi's taste in women was boring.

"Alright, let's get moving." Todo declared, and the other two nodded.

!

But just as they were about to move to hunt curses, Todo froze when he noticed a strange cursed energy signature, turning to see a man sitting calmly on a wall.

It took Megumi and Nobara a moment to realize the new presence, but they quickly assumed a defensive stance when they did.

'Who's this guy?' Todo narrowed his eyes, noting how the stranger's aura seemed to ripple. 'He feels dangerous.'

"So, you're Megumi Fushiguro." The stranger suddenly spoke, putting the three sorcerers on high alert. "I thought you'd look better... From here, you don't seem like much."

"Who are you?" Megumi narrowed his eyes. Having someone know him only to say he wasn't much didn't seem like a good sign.

"Naoya Zenin, it's a displeasure." Naoya spat on the ground, and leaping off the wall, he smiled as he noticed the sorcerers recoil when he landed. "Why the fear?"

"He's from that idiot clan that kicked Maki out?" Nobara turned to Megumi, the somber boy only nodding in agreement.

"Hey!" But with a snap of his fingers, Nobara turned to see Naoya glaring at her in irritation. "Shut up and let the men talk."

"What?" A vein bulged on Nobara's forehead, a forced smile spreading across her face as she quickly slipped a few nails between her fingers. "Why don't you repeat that, you piece of trash?"

Sigh

Rubbing his face in boredom, Naoya stared at the three with a disinterested look.

"Despite your sharp tongue, you have a decent body and a rather pretty face, but..." Smiling maliciously, Naoya's cursed energy began to concentrate in his body, with Todo being the first to notice. "A woman who doesn't walk three steps behind a man should be stabbed and killed."

"So, I'll start with you."

!

Leaving a trail of speed, Naoya startled the three as he disappeared, Todo's eyes widening as he turned to protect Nobara. 'He's fast!'

Boom!

But surprised as his chest was struck, Todo spat blood as he staggered back, his eyes narrowing as he turned to face Naoya's scornful expression. "Fooled you."

Sending Todo flying with a kick, Naoya dusted off his clothes with a sigh.

'Todo Aoi, first-grade sorcerer.' Turning to see the shocked expressions of the other two, Naoya crossed his arms with a disinterested look. 'He's been my target from the start... Easier to fool than I expected.'

"..." Sweat dripped down Megumi's face, his eyes narrowing as he turned to face Naoya.

'Damn, this guy's going to be trouble.'
