Octopus Pii’s Best Friend!

[Takopi’s Original Sin + Jujutsu Kaisen fanfiction + friendship-focused + depressing tone + short story]

Takopi, from the Happy Planet, has a very best friend! His name is Megumi!

Megumi may always wear a cold expression, but he protects Takopi! He gives Takopi tasty treats! He even hugs Takopi as he falls asleep! To make Megumi happy, Takopi racks his brains every day to come up with new gadgets! Seeing Megumi smile is the happiest thing in the whole wide world!

But... the human world is so strange!

Big sister Tsumiki suddenly “fell asleep,” and no matter how much they called her, she wouldn’t wake up. Megumi said she would wake up someday... but why did Megumi hold Takopi and cry for so long?

Come to think of it, Megumi’s classmate... Yuji Itadori is a little scary. The cursed spirit inside him likes to stare at Takopi, who gets so frightened every time that he hides in Megumi’s arms.

That cursed spirit called Ryomen Sukuna likes arguing with everyone? But in the end, what happened went beyond Takopi’s understanding.

His best friend Megumi killed himself.

Even though Takopi didn’t understand, he used the [Happy Camera] that could turn back time.

Once, ten times, a hundred times... Takopi frantically pressed the shutter.

Every time, he gave it everything he had: warning Megumi, stopping him, desperately holding him at the very last moment as he fell... But fate was like a spiderweb tightening around them.

Takopi realized he might not be able to save Megumi.

That was okay! Then he would go back to the very beginning! He climbed aboard the “Happy Rocket” and traveled back a thousand years.

If he killed Sukuna back then, Megumi wouldn’t have to kill himself, right?

[He had to make his very best friend smile the most wonderful smile, brighter than the sun!]
