ESPER : Jujutsu Kaisen x Mob Psycho 100

ＣＨＡＰＴＥＲ １９

I slightly flinch when he gradually transposed his attention towards my direction. "You know, it's rude if you keep staring at people like that without stating your reason." He then gave me a cheery close-eyed smile. "But I'll surely change my mind if we became train buddies and introduce ourselves to each other."

I . . . I don't like him.

And even for a billion or trillion times, I guess Ritsu and Mai-san will always be right no matter how angle I view my problematic situation right now.

"If you don't mind answering..."

I should definitely need to teach myself how to say 'no' every so often, most specifically, at times like this one. This straining interaction is also perhaps already done if I simply ignore him or dismissed his ridiculous idea.

"Where are you going, anyway?" asked by the blacknette monk beside me.

"W-Why?"

"Hmm~?"

"I me-mean, why did you asked, S-Sir?"

"Oh? Please don't think anything bad about it. As unlikely as it may seem, but the Buddhist Temple that I officially served gave me a lots of free time today. I'm not sure where to spend them in a good way so..." he then give me a cheekily grin, "so if you want, I'm willing to accompany you there until you reach your destination."

"Uhh..."

Suguru, that's the name he introduced to me earlier in exchange for my sobriquet that I chose to give instead of my real identity.

Although my friends from Jujutsu School decided to change the meaning behind my nickname 'Mob' into something more comforting and lovely, I still see and used it for this type of scenario. My kind of ideal self introduction for most strangers that I can't politely repudiate out of my sight or bubble of comfort, like him.

"Ah, right! My bad, sorry for not noticing. I'm just worried about your safety that I didn't even discern your feeling of getting uncomfortable with my comp—"

"Ah! I-It's fine, Sir. Thank you fo-for also talking to me."

Ritsu will surely scold me if he see that I'm having a decent conversation with a stranger. 

Granted that I already got properly inform, by a plenty of friends and loved ones, to ignore all suspicious person which who I didn't personally acquainted with or those who's desperately trying to take away my trust for some skeptical reason.

In the end, I still can't refuse to take acknowledge their existence whether they're clearly emitting a bad aura or not.

"Eh? Really! Then that's great! I thought Gojo is just exaggerating when he happily brags to me your lenience and kindliness towards others."

Huh? Gojo-sensei?

"That childish behavior of him doesn't really change as the time pa—"

"Yo-You knew, Gojo-sensei?" 

Suguru-san simply stare at me for a second before he chuckled in silence. "Of course, Gojo Satoru is one of my classmates before in Jujutsu Technical College. Your current school if I am correct, Shinra-chan?"
