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

Rimei was really angry about being falsely accused for no reason.

However, he searched for a long time but could not find out who was spreading the rumors. He had reason to suspect that Lu Suo had deliberately spread the rumors to disgust him before running away.

After seeing Kaori's body, Jin Itari broke down and cried for several days. He blamed himself for letting his wife leave the hospital early, which led to her condition. He was depressed for a few days before passing away.

Only Ryosaku himself knows how much of his death story is exaggerated.

The old man, Itadori Yasuke, had been in poor health since his son passed away. He had long noticed that his daughter-in-law, Kaori, was acting strangely, and was not surprised by her death. However, he never expected that his son would be such a passionate and devoted lover.

He fell ill after holding two funerals.

His daughter-in-law was gone, but her younger sister, Rimei, still lived in his house. Itadori Yasuke didn't like Rimei very much, but he was getting old and didn't have the energy to take care of two hungry children. Seeing that Rimei treated the children very well and didn't have any bad intentions, he didn't say anything.

It's really hard to find a nanny who doesn't ask for a salary, makes formula and changes diapers for the baby every day, day and night, and is very considerate! As for Rimei, she never takes care of his meals, but so be it, he doesn't pay her anyway.

Rime was actually quite impatient with the old man, Itadori Yasuke. He had little patience for an ordinary person, except for Lord Sukuna.

But Itadori Jin had already died, and if Itadori Yasuke also died, the children would have to be sent to an orphanage. He himself was an unregistered person and could not adopt the children. In addition, the identities of both Alluka and Lord Sukuna's vessel needed to be hidden. He thought about it and held back.

Before his death, Itadori Jin earned a high salary, and Itadori Yamasuke also ran his own martial arts school. Their family was quite well-off, having bought a detached house in their early years.

In recent years, Mei has discovered that Alluka does not seem to have been reincarnated with her memories. She doesn't know if it's because of the vessel itself, but Yuujin Itadori's body is much better than Alluka's. At the age of three, he ran as fast as a monkey.

Alluka hadn't shown anything unusual in the past few years, and Nanica hadn't appeared either, so Rime was temporarily relieved.

Normally, sorcerers awaken their spells between the ages of 4 and 6. He assumed that Nanika was the same, so he would often leave the children with Itadori Yasusuke for a day or two while he collected Sukuna's fingers from various places.

There are always a few days each month when Mei mysteriously disappears. Itachi Yasuke is used to it. He treats it as an ordinary day, taking the two children to a nearby park while watching from a distance, afraid that something might happen.

"Brother, I want that building block!"

The black-haired child sat on the sand, his eyes sparkling as he called out to Yujin beside him.

Compared to Alluka, Yujin was much more active. After he finished building his own blocks, he made faces at the other children, who giggled at him.

"OK."

Upon hearing his younger brother speak up, Itadori Yuujin responded and handed over the blue building block next to him.

Alluka happily accepted it and placed the block on top of the toys she had folded.

"Brother, do I think my stack looks nice?"

He looked at the pink-haired child, a sweet and innocent smile blooming on his small face.

These are building blocks that Rimei bought. She said that the sales assistant told her they could promote children's intellectual development. Rimei said she was disgusted, but her actions betrayed her and she bought them anyway.

This time, what was brought out was a set of building blocks that, when stacked, would form an elephant. However, in Alluka's hands, the building blocks were stacked into a strange thing with a huge body, a small head, and two black circles for eyes.

Yuuji Itadori grew up with his younger brother. He secretly thought his brother's piles of things were a bit strange, but to avoid discouraging him, Yuuji, like a little adult, patted his brother's head and smiled brightly: "They're really nice!"

How could my brother's pile not look good? If he thinks it doesn't look good, then his thinking must be wrong.

As the older brother, Hisahito is very self-aware.

"Brother, give me a hug~"

Hearing her brother's praise, Alluka smiled and extended her hands to Hisahito.

"Why?"

Yuujin blinked, somewhat puzzled as to why Alluka suddenly said that, but he still reached out and gave her a hug.

Alluka, whose wish had been fulfilled, let out a clear laugh.

The warm breeze carried the laughter to Itadori Yasuke, who was sitting not far away. He felt very gratified to see the children getting along so well.

Although his son and daughter-in-law have passed away, they have left him with two grandsons, so he can live out his old age in peace.

As he was secretly moved, Alluka, with a satisfied smile on her face, rubbed against Hisahito's clothes, brushing the leaves that had clung to her hair from the wind onto his body.

He grinned and snuggled into his brother's arms, acting all cute: "Brother, can you praise me?"

At the age of three, Hisahito, who considered himself very mature and was the older brother, certainly wouldn't let his younger brother down. However, after racking his brains for a long time, he couldn't find a good adjective and could only say dryly, "Alluka is so good."

Yes, I learned that phrase from Rime.

In Yuujin's mind, his aunt Rimei seemed to have a special filter on Alluka. No matter what Alluka did, she would praise her younger brother in various ways.

He doesn't praise his aunt all the time, but he's the older brother, and older brothers are older than younger brothers, so he has to give way to his little brother.

"Brother, can you lift me up high?"

Alluka was very happy to be praised. He raised his head slightly and looked at Hisahito with anticipation.

only……

"Alluka, I think I can't carry you..."

Although Hisahito is much stronger than other children his age, it is still difficult for him to hold Alluka, who is the same size as him.

He looked down at his hands, unwilling to admit defeat to his younger brother.

He's the older brother, how could he let his younger brother down?

Despite saying that, he still tried to place his hands under Alluka's armpits, but when he lifted her halfway up, both children fell backward onto the soft sand.

"..."

Yujin's face fell directly into the sand, but he wasn't seriously injured. However, thinking that he couldn't even fulfill such a small request from his younger brother, he sat up with tears in his eyes, about to say something, when his younger brother in front of him changed completely.

His soft cheeks turned deathly pale, and his azure eyes became bottomless black holes, somewhat like the thing Alluka had created was staring intently at him.

Yuji Itadori was quite oblivious; he noticed that the air around him had suddenly turned much colder. He rubbed the sand off his hands, wondering how the weather could change so quickly.

To everyone's surprise, the two little girls behind him were so frightened by Alluka that they burst into tears.

"Monster! Mommy... Waaaaah..."

The two little girls huddled together, trembling and crying, while Hisahito Itadori stood with his hands on his hips, clearly unhappy.

"How can you say that about my brother? He, he's just... um..."

Hisahito Itadori's little mind couldn't understand what was wrong with his younger brother.

"Brother Yuujin, what is your wish?"

As he pondered how to restore his younger brother to his original state, the mutated brother spoke somewhat stiffly. His voice was sharp and indistinct, like the jarring noise of a clockwork mechanism stuck, causing some physical discomfort.

"Grandpa! My little brother has mutated!"

Yuujin Itadori was shocked and dragged Alluka towards where Yasuke Itadori was.

Wasakatsu Yasuke, who was feeling drowsy, was instantly awakened by his grandson's shout.

Seeing Alluka's entire body turn deathly pale, and his dark features resembling a simple line drawing, a sinister and eerie aura almost emanated from him.

An uncontrollable tremor traveled from his stiff spine to his fingertips. Itadori Yamasuke gripped the hem of his clothes with one hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the other.

What's wrong with my grandson? Has the dead Kaori returned for revenge?

But she wasn't angered to death by Rime!
