Summary
Gojo paused for a moment before continuing. “As sorcerers there is only so much we can afford to care about. Some of them try to not care at all, about anyone. But realistically, it can’t be avoided. Trust me I’ve tried.”
Ijichi knew only too well what his senpai was talking about. Their line of work was dangerous and the social hierarchy complicated. Megumi hadn’t asked to be born into this world of curses, none of them had. But he had to learn how to survive it.
“When it comes to the people we choose to keep in our lives, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to protect them.” Gojo’s tone softened.

As Assistant Director at Jujutsu High School Ijichi Kiyotaka has seen a thing or two. Sorcerers and curses alike have occupied his backseat. Although this time was different. A routine afternoon drive goes pear-shaped when Gojo gets a call that Megumi has been in a fight at school. After the teen gets in the car with a bloody nose, Ijichi witnesses the heated aftermath between Gojo and his rebellious ward from the rearview mirror.

Summary
“Alright, now we will head to campus Inumaki-kun,” Ijichi informed his passenger as he started the engine. “It will take some time with the afternoon traffic so please, go ahead and have your onigiri.”
The boy in the mirror simply looked down at his snack, holding it carefully between his small hands.
“I won’t tell anyone I allowed food in the car, as long as you don’t.” Ijichi attempted humor. Not that the boy knew about the manager’s rules. All he got was a side-eye for his efforts. Ijichi agreed, he should stick to his day job and promptly focused on hitting the road.

A new auxiliary manager, Ijichi’s first solo job is to transport a young Inumaki Toge to Jujutsu High School for special training with Gojo Satoru. Riddled with the usual anxiety, Ijichi is nervous about interacting with the young boy. From their meeting, however, Ijichi is reminded why he got into this line of work supporting sorcerers and helps young Inumaki find his voice.

Summary
“Ijichi-san?!”
Ijichi heard his name at precisely the same moment as the door swung open. It hit the two things that were protruding out the most, his forehead and his precious cup of coffee. Ijichi gasped involuntarily, sloshing the hot liquid up onto his chest.
“Ijichi-san!” The door opened the rest of the way to reveal a petite woman in a dark suit. “Oh shit!”
“N… Nitta-kun?” Ijichi winced. It wasn’t a large spill, just enough that he could feel the dark stain on his white button-up start to burn the skin beneath.
“Shi- Shoot!” Nitta corrected, rushing forward and took the cup from her superior’s hand. “I am so, so sorry!”

As assistant director at Jujutsu High School, it is Ijichi Kiyotaka's responsibility to coordinate auxiliary managers and sorcerers alike to exorcise curses as safely and efficiently as possible. Though best laid plans sometimes go awry and this morning has been particularly rough for Ijichi. As a series of unfortunate events unfold, coffee stains on his work shirt become the least of his worries.
