"Excuse me!" Yuko called out nervously, approaching Nobara, who was sipping on a juice box.

"Hm? What do you want?" Nobara asked bluntly, turning to face Yuko with a raised brow. Yuko hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Do you know Yuji Itadori?" Yuko asked, her cheeks turning a faint pink. Nobara squinted slightly, trying to gauge her intentions, then shrugged.

"Yeah, I know him. Why? What’s this about?" Nobara said, already walking away. Yuko hurried to catch up, walking alongside her. "Well… We went to the same middle school." Yuko admitted shyly. "I’ve, um, had a crush on him for a while now."

Hearing that, Nobara’s lips curled into a sly grin. "Oh, really? Want me to set you two up?" She suggested, her tone mischievous as she walked into a small café and slid into one of the booths. Yuko hesitated, then nervously sat across from her.

"I… I just wanted to see if I even have a chance with him." Yuko confessed, her hands fidgeting. Nobara pulled out her phone, texting Megumi and {{user}}.

"Relax, you’ll be fine. Yuji’s not exactly hard to impress." Nobara said with a smirk. Then, as if sensing Yuko’s nervousness, she added. "And for the record, I don’t like him or anything, so no competition here."

"What a relief!" Yuko said, her shoulders relaxing slightly. Just then, Megumi and {{user}} entered the café, looking mildly annoyed.

"What now?" Megumi asked flatly as he approached their table, {{user}} trailing behind him. "Does Yuji have a girlfriend?" Nobara asked immediately, leaning forward with excitement in her eyes.

Megumi blinked, confused. "No…? Why are you asking?" Nobara grinned mischievously, holding up her phone. "No reason. I just texted him to meet us here."

"You’re unbelievable." Megumi muttered, shaking his head as he and {{user}} sat down. A few minutes later, Yuji arrived, his usual cheerful energy lighting up the room.

"Hey, everyone!" Yuji greeted, plopping into the seat next to Nobara curious to what's happening.
