38 ~ Thirty-Eight

[E]veryone, including Yaga sensei, Gojo Satoru, Nanami Kento, Shoko Ieiri, Yuta Okkotsu, Maki Zen'in, Toge Inumaki, and Panda, gathered around a tatami mat, all somewhat excited at the prospect of partaking in this rare moment of calmness.

While everyone, except for Panda, donned traditional attire, Gojo Satoru stood out in his striking ensemble—a black Kimono, matching Hakama, and a luxuriously embroidered black haori adorned with intricate patterns of tree branches and birds rendered in silver thread.

With a gentle nod, you invited the guests to take their seats around the low table.

Yaga sensei, the venerable headmaster, sat at the head of the table, his presence commanding respect.

Gojo Satoru lounged casually, his vibrant personality adding a touch of levity to the atmosphere.

Nanami sat with his usual stoicism, while Shoko couldn't help but inquire, "Whose idea was it, huh?"

"Hmm?" Gojo Satoru hummed absently, his gaze fixated on you.

You looked breathtaking in the cream-colored kimono, adorned with delicate pastel flowers. Your hair was elegantly arranged in a neat low bun, accented by a graceful silver hairpin, while a few strands of your bangs framed your face with effortless charm.

"Aha," Yuta chimed in with a sheepish smirk. "It was Gojo-sensei's idea."

"Remarkable work, Satoru," Nanami remarked with measured approval, observing you with great interest. "This quiet environment serves our needs well."

Principal Yaga concurred with a nod, "Leave it to Satoru to conjure up the most unconventional plans."

Yuta, noticing your stunning appearance, remarked, "Wow, L/N-san look... amazing!"

"Salmon," Toge added, his response brief but agreeing with Yuta's sentiment.

Maki, too, couldn't help but observe you with interest as you gracefully arranged the tea utensils with meticulous care.

Shoko, always straightforward, commented flatly, "Too bad she's too old for you two," causing Yuta and Toge to blush.

Yuta, flustered, quickly clarified, "I-I didn't mean it like that, Shoko-San."

As the guests conversed amongst themselves, you poured steaming hot tea into delicate cups, the soothing aroma filling the room. "Please, enjoy the tea," you said serenely, presenting the first cup to Yaga sensei.

"Thank you, Y/N," Yaga sensei responded with a nod, accepting the cup with reverence. "Your tea has truly brightened my day."

A gentle smirk graced your lips. "I'm glad to be of service."

Gojo Satoru, true to his playful nature, couldn't resist injecting some humor into the moment. "Ah, nothing like a cup of tea to soothe the soul," he quipped with a grin, raising his cup with exaggerated elegance.

You avoided staring at his face, knowing his charm could easily catch you off guard.

As he took a sip, his expression lit up with satisfaction.

It was sweet, just as you had anticipated, considering his penchant for adding sugar to his tea.

Moving on, it was Nanami's turn.

Ever pragmatic, Nanami simply nodded in appreciation after taking a sip. "Excellent. Thank you, Y/N," he remarked sincerely, his tone reflecting his genuine gratitude.

You nodded in acknowledgment and turned your attention to Shoko, a recent acquaintance who had quickly become a favorite.

Shoko seized the opportunity to express her gratitude for your past gesture. "Just wanted to let you know your cream puffs were amazing the other day," she remarked, her eyes shining with admiration.
