"Tch."
Todo clicked his tongue in clear displeasure, but he obviously knew Gojo Satoru's reputation and didn't do anything else reckless.
He walked up to Zephyr.
Paimon tensed. "What are you doing? Don't tell me you still want to fight?"
Suddenly, Todo Aoi burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha!"
Paimon's head was full of question marks.
"Little one, let me ask you—what kind of women do you like? Men are fine too. Just tell me your answer."
"Huh?"
Everyone's expressions turned weird. He's asking this kind of question to a girl too?!
However, Zephyr didn't have a bad impression of Todo. Sure, he was unreasonable today, but in the original storyline, he actually helped the protagonist a lot. So overall, she thought decently of him.
"Don't be shy. Answer me! What kind of woman do you like? Big boobs? Flat chest?"
Zephyr put her hands on her hips and declared,
"I'm a supporter of universal love! As long as a girl is beautiful—I like them all!"
All of them.
Every single one.
Like them all.
Everyone was stunned.
What kind of tiger-wolf-level words were these?!
Todo Aoi said,
"Like them all? But if you like everyone, that means… you don't have a number one favorite! That goes against my one true—"
Suddenly, it was as if lightning struck his brain. Todo gasped and froze for a moment. Then, with a face full of shock and admiration, he exclaimed,
"Truly admirable!"
Everyone: ???
"This capacity to embrace mountains and rivers! This audacity to welcome both flat and full figures! What is this if not the heart of a true saint of this world?!"
"I hereby declare—from today onward, you are my lifelong best friend!"
Paimon: ?
Zephyr: ?
Todo marveled,
"To think that even a flat-chested little lady could have such a magnanimous heart and strength… Seems like my past perspective was far too narrow. I still have much to learn."
Everyone was thoroughly speechless.
Kugisaki Nobara whispered,
"Hey, Fushiguro, is this Todo guy… mentally okay?"
"...Don't ask me."
Itadori Yuji panicked,
"It's one thing for Todo to go nuts by himself, but don't drag Big Sis into it too!"
Meanwhile, Zephyr was just about to say something—
When suddenly, her mouse and keyboard seemed to go out of control,
and in the blink of an eye, she cast a tornado into the future—
Oops, wrong timeline.
Todo was completely unprepared and was instantly blown away. However, relying on sheer brute force, he managed to stabilize himself by channeling chakra—or rather, cursed energy—through his legs, keeping himself from being launched into the sky.
"My brother, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing that, Lumine's eyes turned red. Brother?! Brother your ass!
A Rasengan slammed directly into Todo's chest, followed by a flurry of basic attacks.
Moments later, as soon as her ultimate was ready again, she unleashed it without hesitation.
Then came another Rasengan, more attacks, and finally—another ultimate.
Three full combos. Back to back.
Everyone stood there in shock. Though it all sounded like it took a while, it had actually happened in the blink of an eye.
Lumine's skill cooldowns were extremely short, and she didn't need any MP, so no one expected her to be able to spam that many abilities in such a short span.
And those who had the power to stop her… were just standing around doing nothing.
So poor Todo had to tank the full brunt of three complete skill rotations from Lumine. The man was practically coughing up blood by the end of it.
Lumine was about to keep going, but this time, Gojo Satoru finally stepped in.
"Lumine-chan, that's probably enough. As your teacher, I totally understand that you're furious—but if you keep going, Todo might actually die."
Paimon trembled. She never imagined that the Traveler she always teased and joked about could be this terrifying.
Though… to be fair, it was all Todo's fault. Talking about flat chests, calling her a little shrimp, saying "brother"—is that how you talk to a lovely young maiden?!
Even Zephyr quickly stepped in to comfort her.
"Yeah, yeah, Lumine, don't stoop to his level. He's just a big dumb oaf. Besides—sure, you might be flat-chested and a little short, but I don't mind! I adore you!"
WHAM!
A fist struck. Gojo Satoru clutched his stomach and dropped to the floor.
"Why me?! What did I do…"
Gojo lay there, looking wronged, still holding his stomach.
Meanwhile, Yuji and the others whispered among themselves.
"Big Sis is savage…"
"She's actually pissed this time."
"Well, can you blame her? After what Todo said…"
Yuji nodded. "Still, I gotta admit, Todo made one good point—Big Sis really does have a heart full of universal love."
"Totally!"
"She's way better than Fushiguro. That guy doesn't even know what kind of girl he likes. Garbage."
"And Big Sis? She's like the Virgin Mary of love. Compared to her, Fushiguro isn't just garbage—he's less than garbage!"
"Fushiguro: trash. Big Sis: universal love."
Suddenly, Lumine walked straight up to them.
BAM.
BAM.
Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro collapsed to the ground, completely KO'd.
Nobara Kugisaki was in tears.
"Big Sis, why did you hit me too? I didn't even say anything…"
Zephyr looked at Lumine, cautiously trying to gauge her mood.
"Dearest Traveler, uh… if there's anyone else you'd like to be smacked, just say the word—I'll go beat them up for you!"
Lumine looked at him coldly.
"You."
"…That… that I cannot do…"
After letting off all that steam, Lumine finally seemed to calm down a bit.
Gojo Satoru nervously walked over.
"Traveler-sama, I, uh, need to head to the principal's office for some business. I'll just… go now."
Lumine waved her hand dismissively.
Gojo let out a deep breath of relief, like he'd just been spared execution.
Mai had silently watched the entire circus from start to finish, her eyelid twitching uncontrollably.
In the end, her gaze landed on Lumine.
"Who is this girl? She actually beat Todo, and even Gojo Satoru seems scared of her… Who the hell is she, really?"
At that moment, the unsuspecting Panda Trio arrived.
"Eh? What just happened?"
"Looks like we missed all the fun."
Todo turned around and said dramatically,
"Then you truly missed out. That was a masterpiece just now—such a shame you weren't here to witness it!"
Mai said, "You're late as always. Were you training again?"
Maki replied, "If you call it training, it was more like helping our juniors get stronger."
"Heh, you haven't changed at all."
"Same to you."
The two sisters spoke cryptically, leaving everyone else totally lost.
Todo turned to leave and said,
"Mai, let's go."
"Huh? Go where?"
"Unlike you, I have serious business in Tokyo—Takada-chan's handshake event~"
Every girl present suddenly wore a look of complex emotion.
"If I miss the transfer and can't get there on time, I cannot guarantee I won't cause a scene. Come, Mai."
"You really just do whatever you want, huh…"
Todo looked back at Lumine.
"Well then, farewell, brother. Thanks for the parting gift—it really gave me some new insight into my cursed techniques. Until next time."
Lumine turned away without a word.
Hopefully, there won't be a next time.
Mai added as they left,
"You better remember this—things won't end so easily at the exchange event."
Kugisaki scoffed,
"A sore loser barking like a stray dog?"
"Hmph! I won't forget this!"
