Ieiri's Classmate and His Poor-Luck Friends

[Shoko’s gender-swapped version is extremely out of character and can be treated as an original character.] [If you can’t accept these two things, run, kids!] The High School’s Unhinged Trio Before high school started, I had a dream. I dreamed I’d become a girl and become classmates with a short-tempered hothead and a scheming guy with a man bun. The three of us were close, and insanely strong, but because we weren’t ruthless enough, we all met one tragic end after another. I became a human tool for treating people, and the dark circles under my eyes never went away; the hothead worked himself ragged for the jujutsu world, only to be discarded once he’d outlived his usefulness; and the man bun had it worst of all. After one blow after another, his worldview crumbled and his faith collapsed. He turned evil in a fit of rage, then died at the hands of his best friend, and even his corpse was stolen and put to use a second time. The more I dreamed, the angrier I got. I sprang out of bed like a fish flipping over, ready to tear the higher-ups of the jujutsu world and every other evil force limb from limb. But I was a rational person. I knew dreams and reality couldn’t be confused. Once I’d settled down, I happily went off to school and became classmates with the short-tempered hothead and the scheming guy with a man bun… Shoko: Screw being rational. I’m starting a new organization today. We’re overthrowing the higher-ups and rebuilding the jujutsu world! Step one of the revolution: get stronger. Take our friends to the world next door to learn ninjutsu, then Haki, then maybe Nen. That should do it! Step two: recruit talent. Nanami and Haibara are good picks, and the Heavenly Restriction guy and his son are great too. We can’t let the talents from the neighboring world slip away… Step three… [Interview with the new jujutsu world leadership] Gojo: Obviously I’m the poster boy~ I’m so handsome! (wink) Geto: What? Protect the weak? I have no such worldly desires. Toji: Rich guy, I’m hungry. Feed me. Coming soon The Empress of the Empire Thanks to Gossip Aredity was the empire’s fifth princess. She had three older brothers and an older sister, and every one of them was stronger than her. No matter what, the throne would never fall to her. So she learned to happily lie flat, spending what little free time she had acting like a spoiled aristocrat, and leaving the misery of a political marriage for her future self to deal with. That was until a useless System bound itself to her. It was no good at anything except gossip, which it excelled at beyond compare. From then on, Aredity added a new activity to her daily life as a spoiled aristocrat: she became a little melon-eating squirrel, darting all over the gossip patch [What? The eldest prince likes men and is caught in a dramatic pursuit of his own guard? That’s so exciting!] [Hmm? The second princess isn’t the emperor’s biological daughter? Wow~ Her mother fell in love at first sight with her uncle before she married the emperor, and the two of them still meet in secret once a week~] [Tsk, tsk. The third prince is entangled with the emperor’s beloved maid? Good heavens, that’s basically a stepmother romance come to life!] [The Duke of Thunder’s son isn’t biologically related to his parents. Could he be the legendary fake young master??] [Wow, the Light God Temple’s holy son is the leader’s old flame, and that sleazy old leader wants to defile his own child?!!] … After devouring plenty of gossip, Aredity was completely satisfied, and full to bursting. Then she turned around and realized that every one of her brothers and sisters had been wiped out. She was the only one left who could inherit the throne. The emperor chose her, the Holy Temple of Light supported her, and the royal dukes of every region bowed before her. The future Saint of Magic was her friend, and even the Sword Saint obediently called her big sister Had she really become queen just by eating gossip? Completed I’m Not Interested in a Great Success: BL COC tabletop campaign, featuring the Gojo-Geto-Ya trio in a fluffy campaign (?). Content notes 1. You can secretly ship characters, but don’t be weird about it in the comments. Repeat after me: “The three high school friends will remain friends forever.” 2. I’m a lousy author. [Shoko is gender-swapped] [Huge differences in characterization, can be treated as original characters] [Shoko has seen spoilers for the tragic future from a god’s-eye view] [My take on Gojo-Geto-Shoko] Extremely out of character. I’m a happy-ending warrior writing self-indulgent fic. There are bugs and personal headcanons. If that bothers you, I recommend dropping the story. Don’t upset yourself; your health matters most. (When I came up with the original setting, I didn’t think it through because my brain wasn’t working. If you find yourself clenching your fists, it’s all my fault. Run! If you still don’t run after all that, it can only mean you love me deeply. Thank you.) 3. Let’s keep things friendly and harmonious. Recite the Core Socialist Values and put them into practice in the comments~ 4. I don’t want writing advice, but I love all of you (heart) Screenshot of the blurb dated February 21, 2021 Theme: On this unknown road, I can’t see the future, but I can see you, my friend.
