The Wish Shop, ???.
A few days have passed since Adam's return to the shop. These days went by in silence as he enjoyed his daily routine of reading books while enjoying his tea and snacks.
Most of the snacks he had prepared before had somehow vanished so had to make new ones. Although he knew the culprit he didn't have a way to stop her. And neither did she show up so he could tell her off a little. But, thinking about this was of no use.
Aside from that, nothing eventful happened. So, he decided to check through the worlds he had visited before to see which one he could revisit the sooner. The reason for that was the world he wanted to visit again.
He hadn't been there since his first time and it made him wonder if she was safe. The fact that the contract didn't summon him meant her life hadn't been in danger yet. Even then, it was about time he went back there.
"I should keep my promises," He stood up from his couch as soon as the ring went off in his head.
The needed time had elapsed. He pushed the door open and walked through the starry corridor. His destination set, and it didn't take him long to arrive there.
"Eh, where did you arrive from?" Hearing the voice mixed with annoyance, surprise, and utter confusion. He knew he knew he had reached the correct place.

11:00 A.M. November 4, Jujutsu High, Tokyo.
With the onset of cursed spirits and unknown cursed users running free in Tokyo, the damage to both life and property has piled up in the past few days. This is after the Jujutsu Sorcerers did their utmost to limit the loss.
After days of grueling and unending battles, a small group of elite sorcerers gathered at Jujutsu High to catch their breath. At least, that is how it was supposed to be.
"Kugisaki give me that slice of pizza, I was saving it!" Yuji banged his hands on the table.
"What do you mean you were saving it? The thing was mine to begin with." Nobara scowled, "Be grateful that I let you eat such tasty grub."
"F-Fushiguro help!"
"Don't turn to me if you can't counter her." Fushiguro sighed.
In a way none of them could refute Nobara, god knows where she got hold of such food. Once they ate it, they couldn't stop. But as she was, Nobara's kindness ran out as fast as it took her to make the decision to share the food. And this wouldn't cause Yuji so much stress normally, but…
"Nobara you got any more of these burgers?" Maki asked after finishing what seemed like her 12th burger.
"Give me more chicken too. I didn't expect such a spicy kick." Yuki licked her fingers in amazement.
"Yep, I got a ton of those." Nobara laughed and handed over what they wanted. She even sat down and ate with them.
"Such different treatment! We're your classmates you know!" Yuji didn't like that. He thought their bond was deeper than this.
"Calm down brother, I'll help you." Thankfully, some others were ready to help him in these tough times.
"I'll get what my little brother wants," Choso got in his stance as the three women on the other side of the room looked over.
"You wanna go?" Nobara's lips cocked into a grin.
Maki stayed silent and chewed on the big bite she took of the double cheeseburger. Yuki eyed the three boys who confidently strode forward with intrigue.
"Guys, how about I order us some pizza? My treat, yeah?" Yuta tried to calm the situation down. They gathered here for a purpose not to fight over food.
"It isn't about food alone now, Yuta-Senpai. This is a battle of pride and what is just." Yuji's words sent Yuta spiraling down in confusion.
When did it reach that point?
Fushiguro pinched the bridge of his nose. On one side he was relieved that Nobara and Yuji had it in them to be like this. But on the other hand, his worries grew deeper.
Without the safety net called Gojo Satoru, trouble has surrounded them and the Jujutsu society as a whole. How to move forward in such times till they unseal Gojo, they had gathered there to discuss that and he could like to say that they made good progress. That was until this happened…
"Let me see what you've got," Nobara cracked her knuckles but before the showdown could happen another person appeared.
Most of them knew him as the white hair and simple clothes came into their view.
"And where did you appear from?" Nobara narrowed her eyes.
"I sensed that you were here so I came. But it looks like I interrupted something?" Adam looked at the boy trio and Nobara before facing them.
"Hmm, I can't fight with my own brother so I will step back." Todo didn't like this type of situation, as brothers they weren't supposed to fight amongst themselves.
"It is a hard choice for me too," Choso heard from Yuji how Adam's words helped him understand the situation and come out of self-blame. So, for that reason, he couldn't fight him either.
"What is that you guys got?" Nobara's cocky tone did make Yuji want to continue but he didn't. In reality, he didn't want to fight at all. He was just planning on taking back his last slice and eating it before Nobara caught him.
She won't really make him cough it out, would she? He hoped she wouldn't.
"Why did things come to this again?" Adam asked and when Yuji talked about Nobara's distasteful discrimination, he laughed as Nobara just looked away.
"Here, I am sorry for the trouble she caused." He gave an entire pizza to each of them.
"Hey, you're supposed to be on my side! Also, you bastards that's mine!" Nobara was about to storm in but she was pulled back by Maki.
"Stop it, you idiot." Since Adam solved the incident, it was better to leave it like that.
"Woah, it looks much better than the one before… Hot! Hot! But Tasty!" Yuji jumped around while enjoying his as others too had their fill.
"You gave them something different. Give me some too," Nobara's demand didn't go unfulfilled. He made these a while ago and they were a level higher than the normal version because of the golden wheat used for the dough and the cheese was made of a higher quality milk.
"I didn't expect to see you here," A smile appeared on Yuki's lips.
"Must be your lucky day then," Adam matched the smile and sat down next to Nobara who ate her Pizza.
"Why don't you two talk frankly instead of that?" Maki adjusted her glasses with a straight face.
She may have not seen Adam during the Shibuya incident, but after waking up Maki had heard a lot about him from others. And with the news floating around the jujutsu society he was as big of a deal as Gojo Satoru even if he had only shown up once.
"We are talking frankly here," Yuki laughed but Maki didn't join in. She turned to Adam and spoke freely.
"Will you help us unseal that moron(Gojo Satoru)?" At the question, all movements in the room stopped. Even Nobara's ears rose, they wanted his help because the higher-ups had decided to brand anyone who attempted to unseal Gojo as criminals.
So, they needed strong people and Adam was especially strong. He one-shoted an evolved Mahito, made Geto run away, and the higher-ups were flipping the world over to find him.
'He passed through the barriers and entered this place before any of us could notice. I only know one other person who did something similar.' Yuki's interest deepened. She knew that he would only appear next to this one person. That became one of the reasons she came here.
"If you can't help just say no, you don't need to force yourself on my part." Nobara decided to let her thoughts know. Even if he didn't help, her thoughts on him wouldn't change. He had certain things he couldn't do so that was all she needed to know.
"The short answer is No,"
