Sachiko was anxious that her cursed technique practically failed and talked with Gojo what could've caused that. Although they didn't reach to a certain conclusion, they listed out some possible reasons. One including someone or some powerful source messing with her cursed technique.
"If that's the case, things just got more troublesome. Clearly, they must have an understanding of how your cursed technique works and enough power to mess with it." Gojo said seriously.
Sachiko nodded, "That's what I fear too."
"Don't worry too much. You know I'm here with you, right? I will figure this out and before I do, I'm going to go and see the higher-ups."
"Satoru, wait, you're not killing them, right?"
"Not yet. But if there's no other way, I'll have to do it." Gojo said before he left.
-----------------
"Gojo Satoru...you were not supposed to be here."
One of the higher-ups said as Gojo appeared in front of them while they were supposedly having a meeting.
"Oh, about that, I cancelled my business trip because I heard an absurd claim about Sachiko." Gojo said.
They swallowed, not knowing what to reply. But, Gakuganji was quick to retort, "So, you came all the way here to say this? Even if we don't have a concrete evidence yet, we'll know for sure if we interrogate her. She has been keeping secrets, after all and who knows if working with curses is one of them?"
"You even want to interrogate? That's funny coming from you all." Gojo laughed as if he heard the funniest joke. "At this point , I even wonder how the whole Jujutsu world wasn't destroyed with how much of idiots you are."
"Gojo Satoru! What do you mean by that?!"
"Exactly what it sounded like." Gojo replied.
"Absurd! You barged in and said all these words just because we are trying to get rid of a traitor? I won't even be surprised if you keep her hidden at this point."
"That's right. Don't be too cocky. Who knows if it's gonna be your downfall?"
"And if I did hide her, what will you do? What can you even do?" Gojo said.
"According to the rules, you are to hand her over." Gakuganji said.
"If I don't, then what? Who is even going to stop me?" Gojo replied cockily. "I've always known you're idiots but this still surprises me. Try whatever you want but keep in mind that I'm going to remember who dares to try."
"Are you threatning us?" Gakuganji asked, almost twitching in anger.
"Then, I'll get going now." Gojo left the room after giving them a stare with his blindfold off.
That showed what he said weren't empty words and upon realizing that, no one in the room could do anything other than froze in fear.
--------------------
"It seems like I can't go back to the dorms for a while." Sachiko sighed after hearing Gojo's conversation with higher-ups.
"Isn't it fine? We can spend more time here together." Gojo said.
"Here?"
"Yeah, you can stay here with me."
"Okay." Sachiko didn't refuse. It's not like she had anywhere else to go in Tokyo. Besides, it was safer for her to stay at Gojo's place at the moment than going somewhere else. It's also less troublesome for her that way and they would be able to focus on the upcoming Shibuya incident. But the most importantly, she get to spend more time with Gojo.
"Great! We can go some shopping tomorrow because we can't go back and get your stuff yet." Gojo suggested.
"That sounds good." Sachiko nodded in agreement, trying to get her mind off the uneasy feeling that had been growing since she couldn't see anything when she used Possibility. It was as if someone was doing that on purpose. But, the thing was she didn't know anyone who could possibly do that.
"So, what do you want to do now? You look like you could use a break." Gojo asked.
"I don't know." She shrugged.
"Hm..what about we play a game? You know I was trying to teach you before Yuuji called."
Sachiko's face reddened at that as she remembered what Satoru was doing to her when Itadori called.
"What about we do something else?" She almost stuttered.
"What do you suggest then?"
"Watch a movie? Or what about we just eat snacks?"
Gojo thought for a while before saying, "Or we can have a competition eating snacks. Whoever eats more sweets will win, of course."
"But there is no way I can eat sweets as much as you could. That's humanly impossible." Sachiko complained.
"Well, then let's eat sweets while watching a movie. How does that sound?"
"That's good. But can I have something else? I don't wanna eat too many sweets."
"If there's any. I mostly just buy sweets for snacks so.." Gojo said.
"I'll look for some." Sachiko tried to find snacks but ended up finding even more sweets in the kitchen.
"Seriously?" Sachiko sighed as she continued searching. A few more minutes later, she finally found potato chips but in Pepsi flavor.
"Wow."
"We might also need to go grocery shopping at this rate." Sachiko said, frowning.
"We can do that tomorrow."
Sachiko nodded and then they started the movie. It was a thriller movie but Sachiko was almost sure that Gojo wasn't even paying attention to the movie as he ate his sweets and stole her pepsi flavored potato chips while she was paying attention to the movie.
"Satoru.. Stop stealing my chips!"
"What chips?" Gojo asked while he put a potato chip in his mouth.
"The one you just put into your mouth."
Gojo swallowed the chip, then asked again. "You sure? Coz there's nothing in my mouth."
"You just...." Sachiko sighed," I can't believe you..."
Gojo chuckled as he watched her reaction. He was at least glad that she was distracted from today's events now.
----------
After the movie, it was already late so Sachiko found herself asking.
"Satoru...where do I sleep?"
"My room, of course. You know I wouldn't mind sharing a bed with you." Satoru winked.
"...."
Sachiko didn't know what she expected to hear. However, she wasn't surprised at all. So, she nodded and was about to change into something more comfortable when she realized she had nothing else to wear.
"I don't have any clothes to wear too." She smiled sheepishly.
"You can wear my shirts." Gojo said with a chuckle.
And that was how Sachiko ended up crawling onto Gojo's bed while wearing his shirt which is too big for her.
Gojo glanced at her before pulling out his phone.
"Didn't know you're this small. It's like you can literally disappear in my shirt."
"I'm 168 cm tall and I'm not small! It's just that you're way too tall!" Sachiko said.
"Is that so?" Gojo said with a frown, as if he didn't believe her.
Sachiko ended up nodding fervently which made Gojo chuckle, "Alright then. Let's take a photo together. You look so cute like this."
"Fine."
After taking the photo, Gojo nodded in approval, "This is a good photo. Might as well set this as my phone wallpaper."
"You're not serious"
"Oh, no, I am."
"Satoru..no."
"Satoru..Yes!" Gojo said cheerfully while holding his phone so that Sachiko wouldn't be able to reach it.
"That's not even fair." Sachiko pouted.
" Everything's fair!" Gojo said.
"Yeah, whatever." Sachiko said, still pouting.
"Oh my, you're so cute." Gojo said with a laugh. "What do I do with you?"
"...."
"Satoru...you can delete that." Sachiko tried again.
"Nope! Gonna make that my phone wallpaper."
"You can't!"
"I can!"
After bickering for a while, Sachiko gave up. "Fine, you win." She said with a sigh.
Gojo flashed a grin at that.
"Satoru..."
"Hm?"
"Nothing." Sachiko shook her head.
Gojo studied her for a moment. He then hugged her out of nowhere , planting a kiss on her lips, then her forehead.
"Satoru?"
"Shh..Babe. It's late. Let's sleep now. We'll talk tomorrow."
Gojo whispered to her ears.
Sachiko didn't know where the nickname suddenly came from but she didn't dislike it. So, she was embraced in Gojo's arms for the rest of the night.
