[A Nontraditional Fanfic, an Adult Romance You Can Enjoy Without Reading the Original]

Lu Xun, former corporate drone, now a worker in the Soul Society.

After being reborn, she planned to lie flat and enjoy retirement, but in the Flowing Soul Street, a silver-haired fox lured her into wearing a lovesick grin.

Other people get promoted through hard work. She gets ahead by working for love.

"Vice-Captain! Are you looking for a girlfriend?"

"If not, how about me?"

"I'm weak as a kitten, but true love doesn't care about strength! Hurry up and date me!"

Then one day, the three leaders of the Soul Society defected together.

Watching that silver-white figure on Sogyoku Hill, Lu Xun angrily hurls her Zanpakuto to the ground.

"So much for an office romance! You changed jobs without taking your family with you?!"

What do you do when your ex suddenly becomes a wanted criminal across the Soul Society?

Is it too late to break up now?

[Full manuscript completed]

After racking up huge medical bills, Yano Sayo becomes a contract cleaner at Tokyo Jujutsu High.

Her main job is cleaning. Her side hustle is selling Gojo Satoru's stuff.

The cans of cola he's drunk from, the notebooks he's scribbled in... She can turn anything he's used into cash.

Her goal is simple: pay off her debts, leave the jujutsu world, go to college, and live an ordinary life.

Her repayment plan goes smoothly, and she manages to thoroughly offend the man himself.

He crushes a water bottle underfoot and sneers at her. "Does it bother you that you can't sell this now?"

She picks it up, lists it online, and writes the description: Legendary water bottle infused with Gojo's ultimate fury.

She keeps selling, without mercy.

But for some reason, from a certain day onward, his gaze grows more and more peculiar.

Until one day, Gojo Satoru corners her in the hallway and rubs his nose.

"You don't have to pretend. I know you like me."

Sayo: ?

Yano Sayo has always believed she is a cold-blooded, heartless supplier.

Until one night after evening classes, a curse traps her in an alley and someone drapes a school uniform over her head.

"Take my jacket back for me."

With his uniform over her head, she walks back to the school, her heart pounding.

Back in her dorm, she slaps herself.

"Get a grip. You're only fluttering because that uniform is worth a lot."

That very night, she lists the uniform in the auction section. It sells for the highest bid.

Later, she gets into college and leaves the world of jujutsu behind.

A certain Special Grade sorcerer waits for her outside the convenience store where she works.

"You're on break. You should treat me to dinner, you greedy girl."
