As the night came to an end, the restaurant's grandeur had left its mark on all who had partaken in the extravagant feast. After the final bite, the black SUV pulled up once again to drop off Geto, Shoko, and Utahime at their respective destinations.
Surprisingly, it was only Gojo and Mei Mei who remained seated inside the vehicle, a hint of curiosity in Gojo's eyes. With an arched eyebrow, he couldn't help but ask, "Mei Mei, you've always been known for valuing your time like crazy. What's keeping you here?"
Mei Mei, her characteristic sharp wit evident in her response, offered a sly smile and said, "Well, Gojo, it's not every day that I find myself in the company of the Gojo clan's soon-to-be head and one of the strongest new-generation sorcerers. This night's far from ordinary, don't you think?"
With a playful glint in her eyes, Mei Mei extended a tempting invitation to Satoru. "How about we continue this memorable night at my place, Satoru? I make a mean cup of coffee, but I must warn you, it's a special blend I'd charge anyone else a hefty five million yen to savor."
Satoru, intrigued by the offer and the allure of spending more time with Mei Mei, couldn't help but smile. "Well, when you put it that way, how could I possibly refuse such an exclusive offer? I'd love to join you for coffee, Mei Mei."
In the modern luxury home of Mei Mei, the ambiance spoke of opulence and sophistication. As the evening sun cast its warm glow into the living room, Gojo arrived, ready to share a cup of coffee with Mei Mei,
Little did he know that an unexpected encounter awaited him.
As Mei Mei excused herself to freshen up and prepare the coffee, Gojo found himself in the living room, not alone, but in the company of a young boy who seemed wise beyond his years. This was Ui Ui, Mei Mei's younger brother, who was well aware of Gojo's reputation but harbored mixed feelings toward the renowned sorcerer.
Ui Ui's gaze met Gojo's, and the tension in the room was palpable. He was keenly aware of the interactions between his sister and Gojo, and his protectiveness for Mei Mei colored his perception of the enigmatic sorcerer.
With a measured tone, Gojo decided to break the ice. "You must be Ui Ui, right? Mei Mei's told me about you."
Ui Ui's response was a curt nod, acknowledging his identity but making his reservations known. He couldn't ignore the impact Gojo's behavior had on his sister, and he held strong opinions about the sorcerer as a result.
Gojo, ever the charismatic figure, was undeterred by the underlying tension. "You know, Ui Ui, I've heard a lot about you too. Mei Mei speaks highly of you."
This remark seemed to soften Ui Ui's demeanor slightly, though his guard remained firmly in place.
(5 mins later....)
In the refined living room of Mei Mei's luxurious home, a subtle tension lingered in the air as Gojo and Ui Ui engaged in conversation. Gojo couldn't help but discern the underlying reason for Ui Ui's presence, and it mildly irritated him.
Gojo's patience was put to the test. He couldn't help but detect Ui Ui's intentions, and it grated on his nerves. To lighten the mood, Gojo decided to go for some playful banter.
With a mischievous glint in his eye, Gojo leaned in and quipped, "Ui Ui, you know, you should totally get Mei Mei a gift. It's the thought that counts, after all."
Ui Ui, not one to back down, gave a small but pointed nod. "You're right, Gojo senpai. I've been thinking about it, actually."
Gojo's curiosity piqued, and he raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really? What were you planning to get her?"
Ui Ui replied, his tone equally lighthearted, "A ruby for her Battle Axe. She's always wanted one, but I'm a bit short on cash. I need another year to save up."
Gojo couldn't help but chuckle. "Ah, a ruby, huh? That's a classy choice. Well, what do you say, Ui Ui? How about I lend you a hand?"
Ui Ui raised an eyebrow, unsure of Gojo's intentions. "What do you mean?"
With a sly grin, Gojo offered, "I mean, why wait a year? Let's make this happen right now. Here's a little something to help you get that ruby."
As he transferred a generous sum of 10 million yen to Ui Ui, the young man's eyes widened in both surprise and amusement. "Well, I suppose I can't refuse that kind of offer."
As Gojo and Ui Ui exchanged playful banter and shared a moment of understanding, Gojo couldn't resist a mischievous grin, and he reached out to ruffle Ui Ui's hair affectionately, much like one would with a playful puppy.
Ui Ui, despite his initial reservations, found himself touched by the gesture. In that moment, he began to see Gojo not as a mere acquaintance, but as a generous big brother figure who had just helped him make his sister's wish come true. He recognized the sincerity beneath the sarcasm and understood that Gojo's intentions were rooted in kindness.
With a devilish twinkle in his eye, he playfully suggested to Ui Ui, "You know, Ui Ui, if you don't leave now, I might just change my mind and take that money back."
Ui Ui, caught up in the spirited banter, couldn't help but laugh at Gojo's antics. He replied with a grin, "You wouldn't do that, would you, big bro Gojo?"
Ui Ui, caught up in the spirited banter, couldn't help but laugh at Gojo's antics. He replied with a grin, "You wouldn't do that, would you, Gojo?"
Gojo's grin widened, and he nodded in mock seriousness. "Oh, you never know. I can be quite unpredictable."
Their exchange was a testament to the light-hearted and playful dynamic that had emerged between them. As Ui Ui rose to his feet, he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head. "Alright, I'll take you at your word. Thanks again for the help, big brother."

As Mei Mei, in her kitchen, took a moment to reflect, a perplexing feeling washed over her. She couldn't help but question why she had invited Gojo into her personal space and why she found herself inexplicably drawn to his presence.
With her keen and analytical mind, Mei Mei was well aware that she had never felt genuine affection or attraction for anyone she had encountered. She prided herself on her independence and her ability to keep her emotions at bay. But there was something about Gojo Satoru that defied explanation, something that stirred a curiosity she couldn't ignore.
In the silence of her home, Mei Mei grappled with her own emotions, trying to decipher the enigma that was Gojo. What was it about him that made her feel this way? It was a question she couldn't quite answer, and it left her with an unsettling sense of intrigue and fascination.
As the minutes passed, Mei Mei couldn't help but wonder if there was more to Gojo Satoru than met the eye, and she found herself contemplating the mysterious allure that had drawn her towards him,
Mei Mei, having returned from the kitchen, couldn't locate Gojo and Ui Ui in the living room. She assumed that Gojo might have left and that Ui Ui's presence might have irritated him. She made a mental note to have a word with her younger brother about the situation. But as she ventured through her elegant home in search of Gojo.
As she strolled down the hallway, she was abruptly pulled towards the curtains by a firm yet gentle hand. Startled, Mei Mei found herself face to face with Gojo, his intense gaze locking with hers. The air seemed to thicken with tension, and the mysterious allure that had drawn her to him intensified at that very moment.
"So, shall we address the reason why I am here in the first place?"
