thirty one

╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅──╮

it was decided that yuki and choso would stay back to watch over tengen while maki went out to get cursed tools, and yuta went into a colony already.

you went with megumi and yuji to go find someone named shinji hakari. apparently he would be a good ally to have during this whole culling game thing,

"why do we have to change, again?" yuji asked curiously,

"hakari is engaged in illegal jujutsu activities, so if he realises that we're from jujutsu high, he might bolt," megumi explained,

"it's like we're the cops kinda, and he's the robber," you smiled, dumbing it down for yuji,

"oh, i see," yuji nodded, "do you think he'll cooperate?"

"given what he's involved in, i'm not sure," he sighed,

"all the senpai say that he's a good-for-nothing," you shook your head, "but okkotsu says that hakari is stronger than him... we need his strength,"

yuji just nodded as you all walked under the barriers.

you were stopped by two guards, one really short one and one that was buff as hell,

"scram, this place isn't for kids," the small one spoke,

"go back or i'll clobber you," the buff one threatened.

megumi then started his cover story, claiming that you all needed money and wanted to join the fight club. yuji was clearly confused so you just gave him a small look that said, "just go with it."

the buff guard froze a little,

"rule one is to not talk about the fight club... who told you?" he slightly raised his voice, "tell me now, then i'll beat the snot out of you!"

"i didn't get his name before i killed him," megumi lied, "it was about a month ago,"

you held back you chuckles. it was a little funny seeing megumi try to act all tough in front of the guards, but the story was working.

the guards started talking about this guy who they called a scumbag. his name was kondo. he apparently disappeared around the time frame that megumi stated. you wondered a little bit about where he got this information,

"the boss said he's okay with it," the short one stated, getting off the phone. he then pointed to yuji, "but he has to be the one to fight,"

'it's probably better if yuji goes in anyways, so that shouldn't be a setback,'

"no, it has to be me," megumi spoke plainly,

"the boss doesn't like ya," the guard sneered, "if you don't like it, then the deal's off,"

"understood. it's a deal then," he replied.

you guys walked a little to wear the actual building was. it was a bit of a walk but it gave you guys some time to discuss what's next,

"alright, so itadori, you'll join the fights and get a look on the inside and y/n, i want you to be a spectator and watch out for hakari in case he's watching us from inside. or just look for any suspicious activity in general," megumi stated,

"gotcha," yuji smiled,

"too easy," you replied nonchalantly, "where will you be?"
