Capítulo 11: Chapter 11: Babysitting
After Yuji and Nobara killed the Hairy curse, they looked for the kid who was captured by the curse.
And they didn't have to search very long because the kid was hiding behind the stairs.
Yuji gently approached the crying child, crouching down to his eye level. "Hey there, it's okay. We got rid of the scary curse. You're safe now," he reassured, offering a comforting smile.
Looks like my years at the nursery have finally got its use. Yuji thought. Should I be happy or sad about this?
Nobara tried to lighten the mood. "Come on, don't be a crybaby. Big sisters like us don't like it when kids cry," She said with a toothy smile.
The child, peeking through teary eyes, hesitated for a moment before managing a small, tentative smile. Itadori joined in, adding, "See? Everything's fine now. No need to hide. What's your name?"
The boy sniffled, wiping away his tears. "I'm Taro," he mumbled, still a bit shaken from the ordeal.
"Well, Taro, you're one brave kid," Nobara praised, ruffling his hair. "And women don't like crybabies."
Hearing this, Taro once again started to cry.
Women, please give that tongue some rest. Do you really need to scratch on everything? Of course, Yuji could not say that out loud. If he were younger, he would have, but time has taught him many things, and one lesson is 'don't try to speak sense to a woman.'
Yuji grinned as he held the crying Taro in his arms, "Nobara, I thought big sisters are supposed to be good at handling kids. What happened?"
Nobara shot him a glare, "Well, excuse me for not having a degree in childcare. Maybe you should give it a try."
Yuji chuckled, "Sure thing. Hey Taro, you know what? Nobara here is a professional at making scary curses cry, but when it comes to kids, she's still figuring it out."
Nobara rolled her eyes, "Oh please, like you're the baby-whisperer. What's your secret, Itadori?"
Thousands of babies and crazy mothers do the trick. Yuji thought.
Yuji winked at Taro, "Well, you see, Taro, it's all about telling them exciting stories of curse battles and heroic hammer swings. Right, Nobara?"
Nobara sighed, "Fine, maybe I'll stick to scary curses and leave the babysitting to you, Itadori. Just don't let him break my hammer or something."
Yuji couldn't resist teasing, "Yeah, Taro, you should have seen Nobara in action. The curse was so scared of her hammer, that it ran away!"
Nobara shot Yuji an annoyed look, "Oh, please. I just wanted to make sure he knows who's boss."
Yuji raised an eyebrow, "Boss? Or babysitter extraordinaire?"
Nobara scowled, "You're not helping, Itadori."
Yuji continued, "Maybe we should add 'childcare' to our list of abilities. You know, Jujutsu High School – not just for curses but also for calming crying kids."
Nobara huffed, "I'll have you know that I can handle curses just fine. Kids are just... different."
Yuji grinned, "Well, Taro, it seems you've encountered a rare side of Nobara. Don't worry, she's still a powerful jujutsu sorcerer."
Nobara crossed her arms, "And you're still making fun of me. Great teamwork, Itadori."
Yuji chuckled, "Teamwork indeed. Now, let's get Taro to Gojo-sensai and make sure he doesn't have nightmares about curses or scary hammers."

As they made their way to Gojo-sensei, Taro gradually stopped crying, but Sukuna, who was passive till now, started to speak.
[Really? Baby-sitting? Here I thought you were making plans to take over the world. And why is your dick pointed at that Nobara brat? When you talk about companionship and love, I thought you had some class but here you are picking on some immature brat.]
'Hey, it's not up to us who we fall in love with. And Sukuna, it's not about world domination this time. We're just trying to survive high school drama. And for your information, I'm not pointing anything at Nobara.'
[Surviving high school, huh? You're weaker than I thought. To think that one who defeated me is this weak.]
'If I am weak, then you are weaker. And you couldn't even take three direct punches from me.'
[That would be because of the weird technique you were using. And know this: it wasn't even one-third of my power, but I got to punch that smiley face of yours.]
'Weird technique? Please, it's called being unpredictable. And about your power, sure, let's call it one-third, but I wiped that smirk off your face. And if it was the old me, you wouldn't be standing here to tell the tales.'
[Yes, I won't be standing, I would be sitting and I'd like to see you try that again without your little tricks.]
🔹🔹🔹
While both Yuji and Sukuna were arguing with each other, Megumi and Gojo were talking about the test.
Megumi turned to Gojo and asked. "It seems like all the curses in the building disappeared. Did they defeat all of it?"
Megumi asked. Gojo was watching the whole fight with the help of his Six-Eyes ability. Megumi could only watch bits and pieces so need confirmation.
Gojo, wearing his usual playful grin, reassured Megumi, "They're progressing nicely. Itadori's strength and Nobara's technique make them a formidable duo. Plus, their teamwork is expressionally good."
Megumi nodded, acknowledging the progress but still concerned about the trials ahead. "I just hope they can keep up. The curses are getting stronger and there are frequent curse attacks."
Gojo placed a hand on Megumi's shoulder. "Megumi-chan, they have potential, and with your experience, they'll rise to the challenges."
One thing I'm concerned about is Yuji. He seems too calm and carefree about the curses. His coordination in the attack field is nearly perfect. Is he too experienced, or is he just too talented? Given that, over the century, he is the only one who was able to contain Sukuna. He is special; there is no doubt about it. Gojo thought, but upon seeing Yuji and Nobara exiting the building, Gojo, along with Megumi, made their way to them.
