Chapter 1
Our main character, Noiki, was wandering around the school when he decided to visit his friends.
Noiki: "Oh! Hey, you over there! Let me tell you about Sugaka-san. He's my friend—well, my best friend. And yeah, that's it" Sugaka-san, are you experimenting with something here?
Sugaka: Ehh, you could say that, I'm trying to keep my grades up, but I can't say I'm doing very well… I might actually fail this year.
Noiki: Do you need help? You know I'm good at science.
Sugaka: Yeah, yeah, but I seriously don't need it.
Noiki: Alright, if you say so. Ah! I forgot to check on Zuki. See you, Sugaka.
Sugaka: See you, Noi—wait, are you serious? What's so urgent? You could at least wait a bit! Ah, whatever—wait, AAAAAH! D-Damn it, sodium carbonate d-doesn't mix with that—!

Noiki: Now, where's Zuki? He told me to meet him in the garden last time.
Zuki: Noiki, hey.
Noiki: Huh? Zuki, is that you? Your clothes are torn.
Zuki: Ahh, well, never mind that. I need your help with something.
Noiki: What is it? My hon—
Zuki: Watch your words! Ahem, ahem… Anyway, I think someone is following me. I need your help—
*Gunshot*
Noiki: ...Z-Zuki… Zuki!

5 YEARS LATER
Kija: Hey, man, something on your mind?
Noiki: Oh! No, I just remembered the night Zuki was assassinated. We weren't that close, but we were kind of in a flirty phase, you know?
Kija: Forget about it, man. That was five years ago. Besides, after he died, you got closer to me, huh? Haha!
Noiki: Shut up. Wipes tears Haha, don't mind me laughing. I'm serious.
Kija: Laughing is good, dude. Just laugh a little.
Noiki: Heh, I guess I've gotten a bit older. I was young back then, of course. A lot can change in five years. Y-you guys wouldn't know, but he was important to me.
Kija: You guys? Are you losing it, man? Ah, whatever, forget about it. You damn otaku!
Noiki: How many times do I have to tell you? I only like Jujutsu Kaisen.
Kija: Dude, does it really make a difference anyways?
Noiki: Alright, alright, whatever. Where are we going now?
Kija: There's a stationery store over there.
Noiki: Alright. Doesn't really matter to me.
Kija: Ok sure. Hey!

Stationery Clerk: Hello, what would you like?
Kija: I'll have… Ehh, what do you want, Noiki?
Noiki: One magic, bracelet please.
Kija: ???
Noiki: Ehh, that wasn't my line? Oh, sorry. One bracelet, please.
Clerk: Ehh… Alright. That will be 670 yen.
Kija: Expensive, but whatever. Noiki, you owe me. Here, 670 yen.
Noiki: Wha—oh! Alright, fine.
Kija: Are you okay, man?
Noiki: Yeah, I'm fine.
Kija: I was only asking because I care about you. But anyways.
Noiki: Time to head home. See you, Kija.
Kija: See you bro. Bye-bye!
