⸻ I LOVE YOU

The Magic Technical College. A private place where all special students with extraordinary talents and power. However, what an unprecedented gourmet boom!! As cost of ingredients, travel expenses, and equipment adds up— Hitto and her fellow first year classmates, just a few days after the fight with Geto Suguru! Their savings begin to run dry as they struggle with every adult's problems! Financial problems that is. There's two weeks until they get their pay check from the school.

So, let's find a job! The one that pays daily. And luck just shined above the students, the saint Shoko Ieri, the magic technical college's one and only doctor— suggested that one of her friends needed a few staff members and the best part is, Panda is allowed to have the job since her friend is a window (assistant manager?).

THE COSMETIC STORE: TINA'S CASTLE

"Okay, so in general we deal with organic cosmetics ." The woman started explaining to the underage staff members. "Though we also have some general goods... The merchandise's explanations are usually written here." She gave the students a paper and encouraged them one more time. "But the most important thing is, just treat the customers with respect! So, no need to worry too much!" With that, she went to her office as the four agreed to all of the terms.

"Alright! Just like Vale Tudo!"

"Salmon!"

The ring of the bell chimed in around the shop as Yuka perked up and stopped her sweeping to greet their first customer.

"Ah! Welcome—"

"WELCOME TO OUR STOOOORE!!!" Maki and Panda yelled in unison.

"Gomoku!(Ramen)" Toge greeted.

"What the hell? Is this a ramen shop?" The customer said in a deadpanned manner as she stared at the familiar students.

"Oh! It's Utahime." Panda said as the purple-haired woman named, Utahime asked them why they're working in a cosmetics shop. "Salary has been jagged, we had no choice." Utahime hummed and brushed him off by saying she needs to buy bitcoin.

IORI UTAHIME: KYOTO MAGIC TECHNICAL COLLEGE ADVISOR

"Um... what about you, Utahime?" Yuka asked and gave her a kind smile.

"I'm finally in Tokyo and figured i used the coupons Shoko gave me." Utahime answered and whipped up coupons from her bags to show it to the curious ravenette girl.

"Oohh, while on the way to your mission in Tokyo?"

"Yep."

"Well, thanks for all your hard work!" Yuka exclaimed and gave her a beaming close-eye smile and a encouraging thumbs up. Utahime deadpanned at the female student's positive vibe around her which was rare for jujutsu sorcerers to have a happy personality, but her smile reminded the purple-haired woman of her other student, Miwa Kasumi for their resembling vibes. But her concern for the ravenette girl quickly moved to the white-haired man that she deeply despised.
