As she emerged from her dorm, the warm sunlight danced across Y/N's face, illuminating her radiant complexion. Her confident stride commanded attention, her short jeans accentuating her curves and her sleek black shirt showcasing her effortless style. The black sunglasses perched on her nose added an air of mystery, a departure from her usual blindfold. Her white silvered hair cascaded down her back, swaying gently with each step.


She approached the duo, Megumi and Yuji, engaged in a lively discussion. Yuji's animated gestures contrasted with Megumi's calm demeanor, creating an entertaining spectacle. Yuji's hands waved emphatically as he spoke, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. Megumi stood with his arms crossed, his expression unwavering, his eyes narrowed slightly.


"Morning, guys," Y/N chimed in, announcing her arrival with a warm smile. Her voice was like a gentle breeze, soothing and inviting. Yuji turned to her, his face lighting up with excitement. "Gojo-san, tell Fushiguro he's being unfair. He always gets to choose the mission!" His words tumbled out in a rush, his tone playful yet persuasive.


Megumi shifted his gaze to Y/N, his expression unchanging. "I'm not being unfair, Itadori. You just lack strategic thinking," he replied, his tone even and measured. His voice was a calm counterpoint to Yuji's exuberance. Yuji protested, his face contorting in mock outrage. "That's not true! I'm a great strategist!" Megumi raised an eyebrow, his silence speaking volumes.


Y/N listened, her smile deepening as she observed their banter. Her eyes crinkled at the corners, and her shoulders relaxed, enjoying the lighthearted exchange. The trio's dynamic was a delicate balance of humor and camaraderie, each member playing their role in the intricate dance of friendship.


As Y/N's memory flashed back to her deal with Megumi, a mischievous glint sparkled in her eyes. She approached Megumi with a sly grin, her voice dripping with amusement. "Hey, Gumi, don't forget our deal," she reminded him, her words dancing with playful intent. Megumi's eyes narrowed, his expression defeated, as if bracing for impact.


His gaze locked onto Y/N's, a silent understanding passing between them. "Which deal?" he asked, though they both knew the answer. His tone was laced with resignation, a hint of reluctance. Y/N's grin broadened, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "The PS5 one," she replied, savoring Megumi's unease. Megumi sighed, his face-palming himself in a gesture of surrender.Yuji's curiosity piqued, he leaned in, his eyes wide with interest. "What's going on?" he asked, his voice infused with excitement. Megumi hesitated, his words measured. "Y/N won a bet, and I owe her a PS5 match." Yuji's eyes widened further, his enthusiasm palpable. "Whoa, nice! What was the bet?" Y/N chuckled, her voice husky, "That's classified information." Megumi shot her a warning glance, his eyes flashing with caution.


Y/N smiled innocently, her expression a perfect mask. "Who's bragging?" Megumi stood before her, his defeated face a testament to his reluctance to fulfill their deal. His eyes seemed to plead for mercy, but Y/N offered none. "What's wrong, Gumi? Afraid of getting beat?" she teased, her voice dripping with amusement. Megumi's expression turned stern, his jaw clenched. "I'm not afraid. I just have better things to do."


Just then, Nobara hugged Y/N from behind, her arms wrapping tightly around her waist. "Y/N, let's go shopping!" Nobara exclaimed, her voice bubbling with excitement. Y/N turned to face her, a warm smile spreading across her face. "Nobara, what's the occasion?" Nobara grinned mischievously, her eyes sparkling. "No occasion needed! Just want to spend the day with you."Megumi looked relieved, his tension dissipating as he smiled. Y/N glanced at him, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Even malls have arcades, Megumi," she teased, her voice barely above a whisper. Megumi's smile faltered, his eyes narrowing. Yuji chuckled, "Fushiguro's just scared of losing." Megumi's gaze snapped to Yuji, his eyes flashing with annoyance. "Shut up, Itadori."
