"There he is!" Itadori pointed from the backseat.

They were following a boy, who somehow had a connection with the three deaths of students from Satozakura High school.

"You know our plan, Itadori-kun." Ijichi said as his eyes never left the boy.

"Yes! But uh before that I have a question.." Itadori trailed off.

"What is it?"

"How are the others? Are they doing well?"

Ijichi hummed nodding his head. 

"They're doing great."

A downcast look appeared on the pink-headed boy. Ijichi noticed it as he glanced at the rear-view mirror.

"Is there something wrong?"

"How's Fushiguro?" Itadori asked as Ijichi tensed in his seat before answering.

"Nomi-chan's doing well though she's away most of the time."

A smile appeared on Itadori's face, looking ahead with a determined look.

"I can't wait to see them again!" He beamed.

'She's gonna hate me once the truth comes out.' Ijichi thought, stopping the car as they went with their mission.

"So can you summon a unicorn?" Nozomi blinked at Hinata, thinking that he's messing with her again.

His expression was serious.

"No," she answered bluntly, turning her back as Hinata followed her.

"So they're real?! What else can y-"

"No, they're not!" She can feel her eyes twitch in annoyance.

30 minutes ago, Ukai and Nozomi were talking about their cursed techniques. She was also asking for some tips that might be useful for the upcoming event.

Hinata overheard them which leads to where they are now.

"Then what can you summon other than your dogs?"

She let out a defeated sigh before sitting on the bleachers, the tangerine followed after.

"Stop staring at me like that," Nozomi turned his head away because he was too bright for her liking.

"Uh, the divine dogs were the first shikigamis I got." She explained awkwardly while playing with her fingers.

"I could summon different familiars unless they got destroyed," She glared at Hinata, who flinched though it was meant for Sukuna.

"But before that, I should perform an exorcism ritual to make them submit," she added

Hinata's eyes were gleaming with amazement at the information he heard. Although he was still terrified of the black divine dog, who for some reason, hates him.

"So cool! So who's the strongest one?" He asked curiously, plopping his chin against his palm.

"I haven't tamed it yet," She shrugged. "No one has been able to force it to submit."
