Yuji takes maybe one and a half steps into the middle of the street before he’s abruptly yanked back by a hand on his collar. He lets out a startled yelp –which is swiftly muffled by another hand clapping firmly over his mouth.

“Quiet,” Kugisaki hisses in his ear. “You’re going to give us away!”

“What do you mean?” Yuji struggles out of his classmate’s death grip, “It’s not like we’re even–”

“Look.”

The pink-haired boy cranes his head in the direction that the demanding girl is insistently pointing towards, crouching behind the nearby table on all fours as both Kugisaki and Fushiguro are currently doing, and squints.

His jaw drops open.

“Is that Geto-sensei?”

Yuji has never seen Geto-sensei wearing anything but the dark blue-black colors of Jujutsu Tech before –but it makes sense that the man would wear casual clothes when he’s off work. Geto-sensei looks quite different in a crisp white shirt and cream-colored blazer, but that’s not the important thing–

What’s important here is the lady that he’s sitting across from and sharing a meal with!

“If you do anything to draw Geto-sensei’s attention to us, I’m never going to forgive you,” Kugisaki says, and Yuji rapidly nods in understanding. He’d never forgive himself if he messed up this opportunity to spy –err, get an actual look at Geto-sensei’s… girlfriend? The two of them were smiling and laughing together, chatting companionably–

Oh. The lady just –she just scooped something up with her fork and… and she’s holding it out to Geto-sensei. And Geto-sensei is eating it!

“Oh my god, Maki-san was right,” Kugisaki shifts, shuffling the colorful shopping bags from various stores over her arms. “Geto-sensei really does have a girlfriend! I can’t believe it! Why would he never say anything about it to us?!”

“Probably because a teacher isn’t obligated to tell their students about their relationships?” Fushiguro says dryly.

Kugisaki rolls her eyes. “Don’t give me that crap, you’re obviously interested in getting a closer look at them, too!”

“Well, excuse me for–”

The three of them abruptly duck under the table when Geto-sensei suddenly glances over in their direction. Luckily, it only seems to be a casual, cursory look, because their teacher then goes back to talking to his girlfriend without any further unexpected movements.

Yuji breathes a sigh of relief, echoed by Kugisaki.

“C’mon, we need to take notes,” Kugisaki says determinedly. “We can get to the bottom of this! We’ll be solving one of the Two Great Mysteries of Tokyo Jujutsu Tech if we can find out who Geto-sensei’s girlfriend is!”

From this angle, it’s hard to get a proper look at the woman. But apparently the two of them are done with their meal, because they stand up together, and the lady turns around–

Tall, is Yuji’s first impression. The lady is really tall for a woman –she’s almost as tall as Gojo-sensei! But her height makes her a perfect fit next to Geto-sensei, who’s equally tall if not slightly taller. She’s willowy and thin, which is the exact opposite of Yuji’s own type that leans towards buxom girls. But he can certainly see what Geto-sensei might see in her; every single movement she makes is graceful in an effortless, almost thoughtless kind of way, which is its own sort of beauty.

Kugisaki squints. “… Do you think she’s a model?”

“Ooh, possibly!” Yuji wouldn’t be surprised; the lady does have the figure of a runway model, more or less. And she’s wearing sunglasses, too, even though it’s the evening. No one wears sunglasses when it’s almost nighttime unless they deliberately want to hide their face! Being a model checks out on that front.

Fushiguro raises a hand to his mouth, thinking. “She might be related to the Gojos. White hair like that isn’t exactly common.”

“Ah. You mean like Mei-san?” Actually, hang on a second. “Wait, are you saying that she’s a sorcerer?”

“No way, definitely not,” Kugisaki shakes her head. “If she was a sorcerer, then we definitely would’ve seen her around the school already! Clearly, Geto-sensei is deliberately keeping her away because she’s a civilian. Besides, how do you know that isn't just hair dye?"

“I don’t know, I’m just not really getting a ‘civilian’ feeling from her…” Fushiguro frowns. “Maybe she works in the private sector like Mei-san, too? That would explain why we haven’t seen her around the school.”

“Hang on, they’re leaving, they’re leaving!” The three of them watch with bated breath as Geto-sensei and his girlfriend walk out of the restaurant together and head down the street, strolling along side by side.

“… C’mon, after them!” Kugisaki grins. “We’ll get to the bottom of this mystery yet.”
