Dress-Up Game, but in the Jujutsu World

*Fashion Story* is a cozy, polished open-world dress-up game. The NPCs may be a little glitchy, the monsters a little unsightly, and clothing materials a little hard to get, but overall, its virtues outweigh its flaws. At least, that's how Su Ruan sees it as she spends every day obsessed with picking up trash to make clothes, dressing up her daughter, running all over the map to trigger quests, and taking gorgeous photos of her daughter at every possible location. But from another perspective, the jujutsu sorcerers have a different reaction: "?" A girl in a gorgeous red dress drops into an exorcism site, slaps a rampaging Special Grade Cursed Spirit to death, then calmly walks away. A girl in a casual skirt breaks a curse, picks up a finger of Sukuna's that requires special handling to retrieve and seal, and says she's taking it home to use as a clothing material. And this unconventional girl accepts without hesitation the Tokyo Jujutsu High invitation that looks like recruitment but is actually surveillance. Su Ruan: "I'll drop out as soon as I get the school uniform set." When Su Ruan meets her new classmate, she stares at the System quest that pops up: [New species discovered: 'Gojo-nyan.' Rare materials available for collection.] The arrogant white-haired high school boy sits with his legs crossed, watching the new classmate reach for his head. "?" Geto watches in bewilderment as the new classmate snatches his cursed spirit orb, fiddles with it, then turns it into a piece of clothing and hands it back. "?" Ieiri shares a cigarette with the new classmate, only to discover that the thing has become a fashionable accessory on her outfit. "?" She grinds hard, grinds like crazy, and grinds day and night. Only when a notice for a leadership meeting arrives at her home does Su Ruan realize: Wait, don't I have a job with the Port Mafia? The crooked boss, Mori: "Miss Ruan, you've been employed here for ages. Why have you never come to work?" Su Ruan: "I've been obsessed with a game." Boss Mori: "?" Incidentally, the hat on the head of the short, reddish-brown-haired guy sitting across from Su Ruan looks a lot like the five-star hat her daughter wears. After she gets home, Su Ruan sees Boss Mori's red scarf and gives her daughter a matching knockoff. A few days later, Boss Mori notices his scarf is missing. "?" The game is fun, her daughter is adorable, and the NPCs are friendly. The only downside is that there are more and more monsters to fight, and they're getting uglier and uglier. She can't defeat them all herself, and they might hurt her daughter's friends. A bright idea comes to Su Ruan as she frowns in worry: Why not teach everyone to use the power of fashion to fight monsters? And so, a private fashion school is quietly established. The mascot by the girl's side, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Maneki, covered in stitches and looking utterly resigned to life, is put in charge of teaching everyone how to deal with cursed spirits, free of charge. The traditionalist, insular jujutsu world: "???" Until one day, rebellious Maneki teams up with a bad guy from the outside and steals her daughter's body, preventing Su Ruan from logging in. Su Ruan, whose account has been hijacked, rolls up her sleeves and heads out in person. "If you don't want to compete with me in fashion, then I happen to know a few moves." Please note: This story features many characters from *Bungo Stray Dogs*, with even more appearances later on. It mixes *Bungo Stray Dogs* and *Jujutsu Kaisen*! A heads-up: There are lots of original settings, and characters may be out of character. It's a silly comedy. I may not have made this clear before, so I'll emphasize it again: the timeline has been heavily altered, heavily altered, heavily altered! The original settings are outrageous, so readers who care about canon details should proceed with caution!!! The protagonist's secret identity is female, and she reveals it herself later. She's not an amoral troublemaker, but a player with some morals, just not many. There's a lot of *Bungo Stray Dogs*, so be warned. The backgrounds, characters, and settings have all been changed. The timeline has been heavily altered, everyone gets a warm, happy ending, and the story includes original abilities and fashion. If you spot a plot hole, please ignore it. I get upset whenever someone criticizes me, so please be kind.
