The eldest daughter of the politically influential Fujiwara family was born, and joy filled the household.
But joy came with worry. As she grew up, Fujiwara Kana revealed an extraordinary talent for cursed techniques.
The world of jujutsu sorcerers was full of danger. The family could certainly use its influence to hire a few Grade 1 sorcerers to protect her, but that could never be a long-term solution.
After weighing their options, they turned their eyes to the Gojo family.
The Gojo household gained a charming young guest, and 5T5 gained a fiancée.
Though 5T5 refused to admit it.

Children from jujutsu families can get by without an education in the conventional sense, but children from political families cannot.
Fujiwara Kana, still attending an ordinary school, sat in her classroom waiting for her bodyguard to pick her up. To pass the time, she watched a boy on the sports field run all over the place as a curse chased him.
She had seen him in a sorry state several times already. Fujiwara Kana watched him hide in a secluded corner, close his eyes in a futile attempt to deny reality, and curl up there, trembling.
Poor thing.
The black-haired boy's bangs stuck up in a mess, and his pretty face was smudged with dirt.
The kindhearted girl raised a technique to conceal him. Unable to find its target, the curse could only wriggle away.
Realizing something was wrong, the boy furtively raised his head and looked around. By chance, his eyes met those of the clean and pretty girl inside the classroom.
Fujiwara Kana didn't look away. She gave him a lovely smile. He was hers to hide.

Everyone in the jujutsu world knew that 5T5's fiancée would start at the technical college the same year as him. They all thought the wedding bells were just around the corner.
But not long after the school year began, that fiancée showed an unusual closeness with his best friend.
Everyone watched in amazement as 5T5 ate dessert beside them without batting an eye, and resolved to give up sugar.
They suspected sweets were bad for the brain, and now they had proof.
Their supposedly discreet glances were practically right in Six Eyes' face. 5T5 protested, "Now I'm the one who needs saving!"
Fujiwara Kana picked up her phone. "The desserts being delivered to your dorm are your white knight."
5T5 pulled out his phone and tossed it aside, then backed her into a corner. "But I want you to be my knight, too."
Suguru refused to be outdone. He pulled her into his arms, his Adam's apple bobbing as if he were enduring boundless anguish. "Kana won't abandon me, will she?"
