A talent scout who corners Nobara Kugisaki on a street corner turns out to be a cursed speech user with a hidden agenda, and Toge Inumaki has to step in when his attempt to save her goes sideways. This second Jujutsu Kaisen light novel gathers five short stories set around the same events as the manga's early volumes, including Mechamaru heading out on a solo mission and Satoru Gojo taking a rare night off with friends. It leans into quieter, comedic beats the main series doesn't have room for between its curse fights.
