The smoothness of how Ijichi Kiyotaka drove on roads needs to get more credit. Driving this car, shining glimmering company black sedan of 3 years, is his pride and soul (alongside his job). In other words: he's great at driving. Maybe in another life he'd be a high priced limousine driver for famous actors like Robert Downey Jr at the Red Carpet or something.

Oh but this was not Ijichi travelling into the Saitama prefecture. The car journey was a bit rougher in Itadori's opinion, who had been chaperoned by the former when he was legally identified as dead, it was still rather smooth. Thank Nitta Akari, possible alumni who graduated back in 2015 from Kyoto Jujutsu High, for being a great driver! (She scored 100% on her driving tests on her first try.)

Indeed, readers, it's time to flesh out the 3 juniors on their next misadventure that wasn't in school! Finally they cheered, it's been so long, especially with the finger-eating male back to make the iconic trio once more for the 1st years.

"Are you sure, Yuri-senpai couldn't have followed along?" Kugisaki and Itadori, these two brain-cell sharing teens wondered at the fake blonde. She only quipped, "you should've begged her if you really wanted to because her schedule's free today." Surprising the trio altogether. "Really!?"

NOBARA: I thought she said she was busy today?

YUJI: Maybe she has a date today?

MEGUMI: Possibly...

They were all rather invested in their senior's life. "She's as popular as ever I see," Nitta chuckled. Had she ever accompanied the mentioned girl before? "When... I was in my 3rd year of high school I think," stopping at a redlight to ponder further. "It had something to do with her manager getting sick or something, either way it was an experience," remembering what she had seen vividly.

Continuing on, Nitta let them sink their heads on their current information through the company tablet. Images and text regarding their mission were read: where apparently people kept getting killed near doors. Especially the automatic kind. The answer as to why should be simple enough for them: Curses and cursed spirits. But it all seemed random; gachapon-like.

Looking closely at the victim's information, all three of them had attended the same junior high: Saitama Urami East Junior High. A mouthful to say. So they likely got cursed back when they were little stupid pieces of shits was the plausible theory Kugisaki had compared to Itadori's internal assumption of the victims eating a cursed object (even though it was rare to stumble across one thus implying the presence of a curse user staging them!)

"We'll be meeting with one of their classmates to get insight on life back then," the assistant manager explained.

11 in the morning, a correction must now be made: there were now four victims. The most recent being within the vicinity of a simple plain sliding door, where a board was written about a funeral. If the timing couldn't be any worse, the manager clicked. With the only witness they were supposed to meet also dying, off to the tongue twister-like name of a junior high for any hints or clues for a source of their untimely demise.

With a perfectly beautiful done weather, a sense of delinquency screamed out of Kugisaki Nobara's being as she saw two delinquents, Idiot A and B, smoking outside the classroom. Perfect targets of interrogation and intimidation! They even screamed out a greeting at the sight of the brain-cell sharing duo, boosting the egos of the salmonhead and the pseudo-gingerhead even further. Each thought their auras were strong and that the two junior high students were 'quite sensible' in realising that.
