Curse Returns: What did the human-shaped wishing machine do wrong this time?

The sudden turn of events left Nanika bewildered. She looked up blankly at Hisahito Itadori's mouth, her pale face staring at the direction of his lips. His dark, gaping mouth seemed to be making some incoherent murmurs.

"...Su Nuo??"

"Sister, please save Shunping!"

Seeing Nanika's fingers hover in mid-air just as they were about to touch Junpei's body, Yuuji Itadori's highly tense face instantly showed a cracked look of bewilderment.

He didn't know why Ryomen Sukuna would appear at this time, and Yuuji Itadori was somewhat unwilling to give up and wanted to try again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Nuo said "No" again.

Junpei's fist came hurtling towards him with a strong gust of wind. Itadori Yuujin used his body to block Junpei's attack. Seeing that Nanika's face rolled like a ball of yarn for a moment without moving, his brain seemed to be hit hard and made a buzzing sound.

"Sukuna, what did you do?! Why did you stop your sister?!"

At this moment, Yuujin Itadori didn't think about why Nanika would listen to Sukuna. His body froze on the spot, desperately hugging Junpei's fist while screaming at Sukuna inside his body in despair.

"Of course it's funny, those pathetic little brats~"

Ryomen Sukuna's mouth stretched to its widest point, and a series of mocking laughs reached the ears of everyone present.

Megumi Fushiguro and Masato were also caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events.

After realizing what had happened, the real person was so amused by the scene that he bent over laughing.

He hadn't expected that Yuujin Itadori and Sukuna Ryoumen would have this kind of relationship, nor had he expected that the situation would turn out this way after the cursed spirit he saw appeared in the wish-granting machine's body.

"Nue!"

Unlike the onlookers, Fushiguro Megumi knew that the situation before him was extremely dangerous.

In the ten years since he awakened his spells, he had never seen a spell as strange as the cursed spirit before him.

Yoshino Junpei was touched by the cursed spirit and turned into a strangely shaped cyborg. Fushiguro Megumi felt that the situation was somewhat urgent.

The shikigami, covered in orange fur, seemed to understand its master's thoughts. It let out a cry and swooped down towards the real person with its wings flapping at top speed. With a swing of its sharp claws, the electric arcs of its attack sent a shiver through the real person's body.

"These attacks are useless against me. You're much weaker than that sorcerer. I'll use you as a practice target!"

The real man transformed his hand into the shape of a chain. The iron chain wrapped around the shikigami's body the moment the Nue attacked. He swung his arm, and the Nue screeched. Just as it was about to crash into the wall, Fushiguro Megumi changed the shape of his hand.

Nue shifted its shape in mid-air, then fell downwards due to gravity, transforming into a black shadow and merging into Fushiguro Megumi's shadow.

Hisahito Itadori's pupils were dull and unfocused.

He didn't know why things had turned out this way, or why his sister was being ordered by Sukuna not to move. His face was blank with ignorance and numbness.

Fukuro is still fighting the real person to the best of his ability.

Just then, Shunping's faint voice came over.

"Yu...Yuhito..."

Shunpei, who had lost his human form, seemed to have regained some of his senses.

His huge hands gripped Hisahito Itadori's uniform so tightly that it created some wrinkles.

"Please...please help me take care of my mother..."

Shunping's enormous head revealed a human-like expression of intense grief, and tears rolled down from his eyes like a string of pearls.

It was this call that brought Hisahito Itadori back to his senses. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fushiguro!"

Fushiguro Megumi, who was making handprints, tilted her head slightly in a wary manner.

"Please help me make a wish to my sister to save Shunping, and I'll deal with this cursed spirit!"

Speaking of real people, Hisahito Itadori gritted his teeth, and a look of resentment appeared on his brow.

He could not forgive the cursed spirit for tormenting his friend so much.

He's going to kill it.

Fushiguro Megumi saw Nanika, who was in a daze, and Yoshino Junpei, who had regained his senses.

He assessed the current situation and, realizing that Nanika was temporarily disobeying Hisahito Itadori's orders, knew that this was the best solution.

He nodded to Itadori Yuujin, and as the real man's swollen hand came over to cover him, Fushiguro Megumi changed hand seals, and countless fleeing rabbits surged out from his shadow.

In the instant that the real person was confused, Fushiguro Megumi arrived in front of Nanika at top speed.

"Nanica, make demands of me!"

Alluka had been at the high school these days, and no one had mentioned any difficult wishes to him. The price he would have to pay for this wish was the initial difficulty.

Nanika, who had been reading gibberish, was awakened by Fushiguro Megumi's voice. She nodded blankly, then said, "Fushiguro Megumi, can I pat my head...?"

For Nanika, her brother can give her orders, but she rarely refuses other people's wishes, especially when that person is her good friend Megumi Fushiguro.

Yujin Itadori, fearing that Sukuna Ryoumen would cause trouble again, deliberately stayed away from the direction of Alluka.

Two Sukuna's eyes darted around a few times, and seeing this development, he remained silent.

Yuujin Itadori breathed a sigh of relief, and then, in a fit of rage, threw a punch at the persistent man who pulled three cyborgs out of his mouth.

"What a peculiar attack, but unfortunately it won't work on me, as long as I maintain the shape of my soul..."

The smile on Zhenren's face froze halfway through his sentence.

He did not intend to stop Fushiguro Megumi from making her wish.

The real person also wanted to see what the soul residing in the human body should do, since even the reversal spell couldn't restore its shape.

He didn't take Hisahito Itadori's attack seriously, but when that iron fist smashed into his face, blood gushed from his nostrils and mouth.

Even the soul form was affected...

The real person's pupils contracted slightly, and they immediately realized what was happening.

Yujin Itadori is the vessel for Ryomen Sukuna; he has a second soul within him and can sense the outline of that soul.

To buy time for Megumi Fushiguro, Yuuji Itadori unleashed a swift and powerful punch, imbued with blue cursed energy, aimed directly at Masato.

However, Masato did not intend to take Itadori Yuujin's attack head-on. He tilted his head to the side, and Itadori Yuujin had already smashed a huge hole in the wall of Yoshino Junpei's house.

Taking advantage of this brief opening, Fukuguro had already fulfilled Nanica's three demands.

He quickly stated his wish.

Just as Yoshino Junpei's tears were about to run dry, and he was about to breathe his last, Nanika's pale fingers touched his skin.

Fushiguro Megumi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Yoshino Junpei's soul was twisted into its current bizarre form by a real person using non-action transformation.

To heal him, his soul needs to be restored to its original state. Under Nanika's hands, a white light like quicksand overflows from her fingertips, and a hazy healing power envelops Shunpei's soul.

Yoshino Junpei thought he was going to die, but he never expected to survive.

His body gradually twisted and returned to its original state.

He touched his face and saw that his hand was no longer the swollen giant claw. He reached out in disbelief to look again, but saw the person who had treated him collapse softly.

Yoshino Junpei instinctively caught Alluka's body with his hand.

"Please take good care of him for us. You won't hurt Alluka, will you?"

Seeing that Masato and Itadori Yuujin had already fought their way out of the Yoshino family, Fushiguro Megumi's voice was filled with urgency. He was somewhat afraid that Itadori Yuujin would also be turned into a cyborg by Masato.

"I have a spell; I can help you..."

Yoshino Junpei recalled what Makoto had told him about his technique being poison, but halfway through the sentence, he realized that he had been turned into a monster simply by being touched by Makoto.

Yoshino Junpei was unable to finish his sentence.

"I'll go help Tiger Rod. You take Alluka and hide first."

Fushiguro Megumi shook her head, rejecting Yoshino Junpei's suggestion.

He pushed Yoshino Junpei, Alluka, and the drunken Yoshino Nagi aside and set up a tent near where the real Itadori had fought.

This is a residential area; if it's not controlled, it will cause riots.
