Nanami said, "After getting blown up by those [Ranger Potato Mines] on the field, this wasn't much." He paused for a second, then abruptly changed the subject. "Can we graduate early?"

Yaga: "?"

System: [Nanamin's resolve to join the workforce has only grown stronger!]

Beside them, Chihori brought over a plate of neatly sliced chilled watermelon. "All cut."

"Even though it went through a lot, the Ice Melon-pult still pulled through in the end," Shoko added beside her. "This is the Winter Melon's melon."

Yaga turned to look, slightly surprised by the fruit platter—the entire watermelon rind was covered in a five-centimeter-thick layer of ice. The flesh inside looked normal, but it gave off an intense chill.

Suguru picked up a piece. "The ice on this rind is crazy thick."

He tapped the watermelon rind against the table, and it made a clank like steel on wood.

Haibara grabbed a piece too, curious, and was stunned by the weight and thickness of the ice. "How did you even cut this?"

"I started with a fruit knife, but it broke," Shoko shrugged. "Then Chihori used sunlight to split it open."

System: [I honestly don't know whether to complain about sunlight being that strong or just chalk it up to brute force!!]

Chihori curved her brows and smiled. "I found a chainsaw and a power drill in the equipment room. If I'm not around next time, you guys can use those to cut the ice melon."

Nanami: "...That doesn't sound like something you should be eating."

"It's edible. I already tried it. You can even taste something like watermelon slush."

Chihori picked up the smallest slice and, under everyone's shocked gaze, chomped it down, ice rind and all, producing a loud, sharp crunching sound!

Everyone: Is it really okay to eat the ice rind too?!—Wait no, how did she even manage to bite through something that hard?!

Suguru looked concerned. "Eating that much cold stuff all at once isn't good for you, sis. The doctor told me your body's weak. You should avoid the cold and not eat too many chilled things."

Satoru: "Hold on—why isn't your first reaction calling out the fact that she's straight up gnawing through an ice melon—like, a melon that needs a power drill to open?!"

Suguru paused for a second. "Mm... my sister just has strong teeth."

Everyone else: ...That's not just strong. That's like she's got an icebreaker ship in her mouth!

Under their horrified stares, Chihori gave a thumbs-up and grinned. "This is the only way to experience the full joy of chilled watermelon~! I'm Chihori, and I endorse watermelon slush."

System: [Your mouth is a power drill, huh Chihori!!]

Chihori (ice melon clenched in steel jaws like a bulldog): I'm the Iron-Toothed Bunny!

Winter Melon, the very first purple-card plant ever created, played a huge role at Jujutsu High—it was basically summer air conditioning.

The really weird part was that the icy coating on the melons it threw seemed fused to the melons themselves, so the ice didn't melt. It just kept giving off this steady stream of cool air.

Since most people didn't have teeth as tough as Chihori's to chomp on on-the-spot frozen melon smoothies, everyone usually just stuck the frosty melon next to them and placed a Blover behind it, using it like a fan.

—The results? Amazing.

System: [Why is everyone suddenly figuring out these bizarre new uses for the plants?!]

Chihori: [This is called real-life application and innovative development! (thumbs up)]

That year, for some reason, curses showed up way more than usual. Like an endless flood surging from underground. The jujutsu world was still facing a serious manpower shortage—good thing the discovery and use of plants helped take a ton of pressure off their shoulders.

Still, for missions that required dealing with normal people, they had to show up in person. The jujutsu world and the existence of the plants were still completely under wraps from regular society.

To that, Chihori said: [Remember Dave's neighbor? He was just an ordinary guy. But under Crazy Dave's careful guidance, he eventually became a pro who could take down Zomboss himself!]

System (hands clasped.jpg): [Can you translate that for me?]

Chihori: [Even ordinary people, as long as they get the right science education and training, can use plants to protect themselves and the people around them from cursed spirits! The plant alliance needs more people to join in.]

The system paused for a beat: [Wait... you're thinking of spreading this to normal society?]

[Remember those flyers I got at the beginning, the ones for jujutsu sorcerer recruitment? Those sorcerers are already spreading false and dangerous info from the shadows, gathering clueless followers,] Chihori said. [If we want to fight back against their propaganda, we need our own version of jujutsu sorcerer outreach.]

System: [So you're saying...]

Chihori: [We're launching a "Science Close-Up" segment!]

She gestured: [You know, one of those shows that starts with a local mystery to hook the viewers, then has reporters interview random relatives and dig around late at night for creepy leads. They slowly build suspense, keep everyone on edge—until finally, a little jujutsu trivia clears up the mystery.]

System couldn't help but roast her: [So a horror-movie opening, holiday-comedy middle, and a metaphysical ending?]

[That's what makes it relatable and boosts the ratings, duh.] Chihori grinned. [Maybe at first, people will just treat it like a casual after-meal watch, but once the science part starts to sink in, they'll really start to get it.]

[We don't want to freak people out, so we'll ease them in—like frogs in warm water. That's way better than trying to cover everything up.] Chihori said. [Someone's going to find out eventually. They deserve to know.]

System: [And then what?]

Chihori: [Then we go full grassroots. Expand plant cultivation until every household has them. Everyone can fight curses. National defense, but make it civilian-powered!]

Then she let out a breath: [Luckily, plants only work on cursed spirits, sorcerers, and curse users, so we don't have to worry about regular folks using them to start brawls.]

[It's gonna be a long road.] The system paused for a second. [Is there anything I can help with, Chihori?]

Chihori: [Ahem, help us plan the "Science Close-Up" show? Be our host maybe?]

[—As for the broadcasting schedule and all that,] Chihori tapped her left hand against her right palm, [I'll talk it over with Gojo and the others. As for funding... that's on the Zen'in clan!]

System: [?]
