As Heroic Spirit Emiya began preparing dinner, the Tokyo Jujutsu High freshmen also arrived one after another.
At this moment, in the High School classroom, Eichi, who had parachuted in as the first-year homeroom teacher, walked into the classroom with a lesson plan in one hand and a pointer in the other, a smile on his face.
"Let me see, hmm, all six freshmen are here, no one is late, very good."
Eichi nodded in satisfaction.
"It's not that idiot, why would we be late?"
Maki leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed, giving off the vibe of a first-year gang leader.
"Indeed, we're not that unpunctual idiot."
Mai nodded, agreeing with Maki.
"salmon roe?"
Unlike the other five, Inumaki Toge, who was coming to the High School for the first time, looked puzzled when he heard everyone speaking in what sounded like encrypted communication that only he couldn't understand.
Usually, it was others who couldn't understand him; today was the first time he couldn't understand what others were saying.
"Inumaki-kun."
Panda, who had grown quite large and plump, seemed to notice Inumaki Toge's confusion.
Panda put a hand to his mouth and quietly called Inumaki Toge's name.
"Kelp."
Noticing someone calling him, Inumaki Toge slightly crouched, making the classic gesture for whispering in class.
"They're talking about another teacher at the High School, Gojo Satoru."
Panda, with his round physique, leaned on the desk and quietly told Inumaki Toge.
"Salmon mayonnaise."
Inumaki Toge, also leaning on the desk, indicated that he understood.
However, even though their whispers were careful and their actions standard, this was, after all, an empty classroom with only seven people, so even very soft sounds could be heard by everyone else.
"Um..."
Yuta Okkotsu weakly reminded them.
"I don't think anyone said the idiot was Gojo-sensei."
The kind-hearted Yuta Okkotsu wanted to preserve a shred of dignity for Gojo Satoru.
When pushed to the brink, Yuta Okkotsu was a desperate person, but normally, he was a person who felt a bit weak but was also very reliable and gentle.
Megumi Fushiguro called him "the only respectable upperclassman, Okkotsu."
Clap, clap.
"Alright~, let's stop talking about that idiot Gojo for now. For the next few years, you'll be classmates living together day in and day out. Let's start with self-introductions."
Eichi clapped his hands, bringing everyone's attention back to the main topic.
Actually, Eichi initially wanted to follow the old university tradition and have an ice-breaking game.
However, after carefully studying the situation of this year's students, Eichi gave up.
Mai and Maki were sisters, and they often came to the High School to study and train.
Yuta Okkotsu and Rika Orimoto were lovers, and Eichi often brought them to Tokyo to play during holidays.
Panda had grown up at Tokyo Jujutsu High and knew all four of them.
So, if he really did it, it would be an ice-breaking journey just for Inumaki Toge.
By the way, Yuta Okkotsu and Rika Orimoto had already reached the marriageable age in Japan this year.
They had just gotten their marriage certificate last month... As expected of you, Rika Orimoto, Yuta Okkotsu was completely under her thumb.
"You go first for your self-introduction, Inumaki-kun."
Eichi took a piece of chalk and placed it on the desk, then walked down from the podium.
"Salmon."
Inumaki Toge nodded.
After walking to the podium, Inumaki Toge picked up the chalk and wrote his name on the blackboard.
Then he turned around, pointing to his name with the chalk while saying,
"Kelp."
"Raw sujiko."
Two sentences, and the self-introduction was over.
"Are you hungry? Why are all your self-introductions about food?"
The air was silent for a moment, then Maki was the first to voice everyone's confusion.
"Kombu."
Inumaki Toge shook his head, indicating that he wasn't hungry and everyone shouldn't worry about it.
Then he took out his phone and started typing.
"Oh, I overlooked that."
Eichi slapped his forehead, then spoke.
Everyone's gaze turned to Eichi.
"Inumaki Toge comes from a Family of Cursed Speech users. Their words are a manifestation of their Cursed Technique, so to avoid accidentally harming others, Inumaki usually only speaks about rice ball fillings."
With Eichi's explanation, everyone understood the reason for Inumaki Toge's strange way of speaking.
"Then how are we supposed to understand what he's saying?"
Maki said straightforwardly.
"Don't worry, this is where the versatile Eichi-sensei comes in."
Eichi suddenly spun in a circle, then stood sideways, one hand on his chest, the other on his forehead, striking a pose he considered beautiful and slow.
The few people in their seats exchanged glances, and then no one applauded.
Eichi, who waited for a long time without applause, didn't think much of it.
Instead, he reached into the shadow of his uniform and pulled out several thin booklets from the shadow.
"These are your elective courses for the next four years. Study them carefully."
Soon, the five people other than Inumaki Toge each received a booklet with "Inumaki Language Level 10 Speedrun Guide" printed on the cover.
Opening the first page of the booklet, it read: Inumaki Language Lesson One: Salmon.
Salmon, usually means agreement, good, sometimes also used to second someone's proposal... salmon roe: Usually means a question, confusion... "Kelp means hello, don't worry, and sujiko means happy, sometimes also means making up one's mind..."
The sound of turning pages continued, and everyone curiously studied this Inumaki Language dictionary.
"So, Inumaki-kun's words just now meant 'Hello everyone, my name is Inumaki Toge, nice to meet you, please take care of me from now on,' right?"
Soon, everyone understood Inumaki Toge's meaning from the "Inumaki Language Level 10 Speedrun Guide."
"Correct answer."
Eichi clenched his fists, then gave a thumbs up, pointing his index finger straight at Mai.
"Hey, you're not a pervert, are you?"
Maki's sudden words struck Eichi like lightning.
"Um, Maki."
Eichi clutched his chest, asking in a very hurt manner,
"Why would you suddenly say that?"
"You and Inumaki Toge didn't know each other before, how could you write this..."
Maki, the poor student, glanced at the cover.
"'Inumaki Language Level 10 Speedrun Guide' in such a short time? Are you tracking and monitoring him every day?"
After speaking, Maki cast a look of disdain at Eichi.
Question: My guardian seems to be a pervert, what should I do?
Even Inumaki Toge, who was curiously wondering why there was an Inumaki Language on the podium, couldn't help but retreat repeatedly, looking at Eichi with a strange gaze.
"No, I'm not."
Eichi immediately retorted; if he didn't, he feared he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"Isn't this because I learned about Inumaki-kun's situation and was worried that you would have difficulty interacting with him, so I specifically went to the Inumaki Family to understand?"
"Oh, that's how it is. Then it's fine."
Maki nodded, while thinking to herself: 'It's good that he hasn't turned into a pervert yet.'
"Eichi-sensei."
Panda, sitting in the back row, suddenly raised his hand.
"What is it, Panda-kun?"
'Panda is so cute, I want to pet him a bit, but it's inconvenient to pet him now that he's grown up.'
Eichi secretly sighed in regret, as he hadn't 'absorbed' Panda for a while to maintain his teacher image.
"Eichi-sensei, you should stay away from Gojo Satoru recently. You'll be led astray."
Will be led astray... astray... child... *crack*.
Eichi instantly shattered.
