The trip was quicker than they have thought.

Maguro was especially miffed that she had napped half of the way there, and more so at herself for napping on Inumaki without her even realizing it.

She had Nullified him so that he could have fun with the rest of their friends, and they could all talk and joke and tell off one another's embarrassing life event or something. But she had napped. Had NAPPED! ON HIM! LIKE A BABY KOALA!

AND BECAUSE SHE NAPPED ON HIM, HE DIDN'T GET TO HAVE THE TALKS AND THE JOKES AND THE FUN IN THE VAN-

"I like it when you nap on me," Inumaki said to her, breaking her chain of thoughts entirely while scratching the back of his ear bashfully. He knew they're turning red right now out of embarrassment, but he just couldn't get over it even though Maguro is already his girlfriend. Confessing to a girl about stuff like these really isn't his forte, and he knew wasn't really good at it.

But when he saw Maguro's smile widens like a new light bulb, he knew he had said the right thing this time.

Sweet Maguro. So easy to appease. On some other time before this, he would have thought that this is a good thing, to have a girlfriend so sweet like Maguro.

But just then, Itadori had blurted out in the trip while she napped on Inumaki and said, "Maguro-senpai is so easily impressed, right? So, does that mean she'll follow people home if they drop a trail of candies behind them?"

The giggles and laughters stopped, plunging the travelling vehicle in a deathly silence.

Fushiguro snapped his head from the view outside the window. Gojo sort of snorted awake at the sound of Itadori's innocent question. Panda and Maki stopped their card games and stared at Itadori.

The whole bus went quiet. The red alert went off like nobody's business in everyone's mind.

And all of them thought immediately about the 'creep' in Kyoto's side.

Who had sung praises about Maguro to the high heavens and delights himself by being in her presence and inching closer to her.

And closer.

And closer still.

And that all of them in Kyoto now knew how Maguro can be easily appeased and bribed by sweets.

They looked at each other, and silently nodded to themselves. Maguro is to be protected. At all costs. And not to be left alone ever.

Given the chance and the type of personality Maguro has, she would really follow the trail of candies back to the witch's hut.

Everyone made sure to give Itadori a pat at the back as thanks for the reminder that they must take care of their own. Itadori had shyly laughed and scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

And in no time, they've arrived.

"Is this your house, Inumaki-senpai?" Yuuji, ever the enthusiastic teenager from the city, marveled with wide eyes and an expanded mouth width at the sight of the grand wooden entrance gate. He even took the time to take a few steps back to marvel at the large tree shading over the wooden entrance gate with both his hands up, as if measuring it with how far his hands could stretch, finding the maple tree growing outwards a marvelously beautiful tree to behold in front of such a grand entrance gate.
