[This will be rewritten later as a short story]

The students at the technical college uncover a shocking secret: their dear classmate and senior, Inumaki Toge, has fallen in love!

Maki Zenin: "A homemade lunch every weekend?!"

Panda: "Even though you know he can't speak normally, you don't mind, and you actively try to chat with him and learn Inumaki-speak?!"

Yuta Okkotsu: "Y-You go on a date every week?!"

Yuji Itadori: "A campus idol who's super popular?!"

Megumi Fushiguro: "...A famous horror manga artist?"

Nobara Kugisaki: "Gentle and clingy?!"

Inumaki Toge: "Salmon!"

Everyone: "What incredible luck is this?!"

Momoi Saya is an unlucky person. At some point, ugly and terrifying twisted monsters began appearing in her world.

Her old understanding of the world crumbled completely, and she lived in fear every day. To vent her pain, she became a horror manga artist.

But her misfortune did not stop there.

At last, one evening after school, she ran straight into a monster that suddenly sprang out of a corner. Her life was now on a countdown.

Then a mysterious, unknown boy appeared right after the monster.

"Explode." With just that simple word, the monster that could decide Momoi Saya's fate with a single reach disappeared before her eyes.

Only after the boy carried her to safety did Momoi Saya finally come to her senses. She realized that her misfortune seemed about to end with his arrival.

Yes, since she couldn't protect herself, she would find a boyfriend who could.

"Toge, can you help me?" One night, Momoi Saya, paintbrush in hand, easily pinned Inumaki Toge within the tiny space in front of her desk.

She approached him with the brush in one hand, while gently pulling down his collar with the other to reveal the beautiful cursed markings at the side of the boy's mouth. "I want to draw your cursed markings," she said, leaning close to the boy, whose body had gone rigid. With a mischievous smile, she added, "The ones on your tongue, too."

-

Inumaki Toge knew from the very beginning that Momoi Saya had ulterior motives for approaching him.

But so what? If you see through it and keep quiet, you get a girlfriend.

Reader's note:

A sweet romance. The heroine is an ordinary person, and this is a little love story between an ordinary person and a jujutsu sorcerer. The heroine is not your typical soft, gentle girl; she's pretty cunning.

Thanks to my friend with the surname X for the cover lettering and copyediting, and to my friend with the surname Z for drawing the cover! I love them so much!

Theme: There's no shame in trying hard. Giving up is what matters.
