Miss Shoko Abandoned Medicine for Literature

Shoko died, and Shoko came back to life.

The person in question had this to say:

Thanks for asking. I'm in Yokohama, just got off a plane, know nothing about the place, and somehow I've got this inexplicable Big Shot Writer System.

Whatever. Time to slack off, anyway--

The curse is gone, so who still wants to be a corporate drone?

So much for slacking off. A mission just came in: Write a stirring epic story on the theme of "unbridled imagination."

Shoko: What a load of crap.

I'm not writing it.

Medicine can't save this shitty world. How's writing supposed to do any better?

A very long time later, Shoko stood on a rooftop, smoking as she watched the world's timelines grow increasingly chaotic. "...Well, would you look at that. Maybe it actually can?"

After Ieiri Shoko accidentally became the leader of a certain port organization, she was forced to take in two little ones as well.

One was surrounded by black sludge every day, driving bandage sales across Yokohama through the roof. The other was always ready to blow, either tearing up the house or on the way to do so.

Shoko never managed to save any money. It all went toward household expenses.

I'm tired. Let's just destroy the world.

So, in a fit of rage, she got a little angry and decided to write the two of them into a story. Since they loved fighting so much, she sent them both to fight Sukuna.

The story was posted on the Big Shot Writer forum by the System, and soon caught the attention of some mysterious people.

[Don't Lose Your Mind]: Two bowls of plain noodles. Interesting. Are they any good? Add some crab roe, maybe?

[Charcoal-Grilled Mackerel]: That's not the point, hey! And why does this fantasy world have to be tied to that guy? Cursed Spirit Dazai? If he's real, I'll be the first to exorcise him!

[Lolis Are the Best]: My, my. No matter where they are, these two are such a handful.

[Not a Lop-Eared Rabbit]: Why didn't you write me in too? Why, why, why, why, why, why?!

[Not a Lop-Eared Rabbit]: I'm writing a petition in my own blood. I want to fight Sukuna too!!

Shoko: ...

Is something wrong with the commenters these days?

One day, the Big Shot Writer System told Ieiri Shoko that the story she'd written was about to become reality.

Shoko thought of "Unbridled Imagination: The Twin Showdown Against Sukuna," which she'd written while slacking off because the two little ones at home were such a pain. She slowly typed a question mark.

Then she thought of "A Reunion of Old Friends: Geto and Gojo, Who Is Yokohama's Justice League?" which she'd written because she missed her old friends, and fell silent for a long while.

Shoko: (smokes with world-weary resignation) ...Um, is it still too late to burn the books?
