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

Rime didn't understand, Rime was deeply shocked.

This was the first time he had ever seen a cursed object so full of emotion.

Thinking about the origin of the Nine Phases Diagram, Rimei, looking somewhat dazed, pushed open the door and entered. Itachi Yasuke was somewhat surprised to see the person following behind him.

"This is……"

At this time, the sudden appearance of a stranger at the door, with his swollen hair and curse marks, also puzzled Itadori Yasuke.

"...Yes, these are the bodyguards I hired to protect both of them."

Itadori Yamasuke and Itadori Yuujin had only a superficial understanding of the world of jutsu. They only knew that there were ghosts that normal people couldn't see, and that Gojo Satoru and Rime had the ability to eliminate those things, but they still couldn't explain cursed objects to them.

"Oh, let's have dinner together then~"

Upon hearing that it was a bodyguard, Itadori Yasuke's attitude immediately changed. He turned around and went to the kitchen to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks, which he then placed on the dining table.

The scene of Alluka being captured also left a thorn in his heart.

It's not surprising that Rimei hired a bodyguard, but he's a little worried about the family's savings.

He came to Saitama from Sendai. Although he didn't have to worry about housing, the living expenses for raising his two grandsons were a lot. The family's martial arts school was also closed. Itadori Yamasuke was a little worried that they would be homeless in a few years.

Rime, who had never worried about money, was unaware of Itadori Yasuke's thoughts, and had never eaten anything human.

He just watched the two brothers eat quietly.

"Brother, what's your name? Do you want to eat shrimp too?"

Alluka noticed that Zhang Xiang was staring at him and his brother, and tilted his head in confusion.

Grandpa made shrimp for him and his brother tonight. His brother said he had suffered, so he gave him his own shrimp. Does this new brother want to eat some too?

My name is Zhang Xiang.

Zhang Xiang followed the example of Itadori Yasuke and picked up his chopsticks.

He initially thought protecting children would be boring, but it turned out they were two brothers with a very close relationship!

Brotherhood is the greatest emotion in the world!

"Hello, Brother Bloated Face!"

Yuujin Itadori thought the name "Zhangxiang" was strange, but he had also heard what Aunt Mei had said. This older brother was here to protect him and his younger brother, so Zhangxiang must be a good person.

Hearing the two kids calling him "Oniichan" repeatedly, his chubby face started to radiate with little flowers. Although these two weren't his biological brothers, and his younger brother hadn't been born yet, it felt really great to be called "older brother"!

Just as he was lost in thought, the little child in front of him suddenly clasped his hands together and said to him in a soft voice:

"Brother Zhang Xiang, could I have a lock of your hair?"

Feeling a strange sense of constraint and the aura of cursed spirit emanating from the child, I felt a bit inexplicably bloated.

When he first arrived at this strange family's house, apart from the curse master who had awakened him, everyone else seemed like ordinary people to him. But then this ordinary child suddenly started acting strangely.

As soon as Alluka opened her mouth, the harmonious atmosphere at the table instantly froze.

At this moment, Itadori Yamasuke thought of Fushiguro Jinji, who had caused trouble, while Itadori Yuujin thought of what Gojo Satoru had said about his younger brother's ability causing many deaths. He looked at his new older brother with some nervousness.

"..."

The child looked like an adult, but he was actually only one day old. He didn't understand why those people were so nervous, so he reached out and pulled out a strand of hair and placed it in the child's hand.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang Xiang~"

Alluka responded softly in her childish voice.

He carefully tucked the strand of hair into his sleeve, and then spoke again to make his second request.

"Brother Zhang Xiang, could you give me some blood from the tip of your right little finger?"

The black-haired child, with his eyes crinkled, reached out his hands to him again.

This time, the aura of the cursed spirit on his body was even stronger.

Having been born into a top-tier cursed creature, Zhang Xiang naturally wouldn't have any racial prejudice against cursed spirits. However, he turned around and asked Rimei with some curiosity.

"What's wrong with him?"

From Zhang Xiang's perspective, Alluka, who was asking for things, seemed to be a completely different person from the soft-tempered child just now.

"Just give him whatever he wants, but don't make any unreasonable demands later!"

Rime didn't expect that Alluka would start making demands as soon as Zhang Xiang arrived at his home, but he wasn't too surprised.

Generally, when Alluka suddenly makes a request, he is actually Nanika at that moment. Alluka cannot control himself from making various demands on those around him; all they can do is keep the cost within a manageable range.

Zhang Xiang didn't quite understand what Rimei was saying, but he knew the child wanted his fingertip blood.

This requirement might be difficult for others to accept, but it is something that is extremely easy for the expansion phase.

Kamo Noriyuki used a woman and a cursed spirit as experiments to create the Nine Phases Diagram. During the experiment, he also mixed in a small amount of his own blood, which belonged to the Kamo family, one of the three founding families.

The eldest brother's technique in the Nine Phases Diagram is the "Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique" passed down in the Kamo family. Because it is a cursed object, his curse power can be infinitely converted into blood, which is much higher than the upper limit of the ordinary Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique.

A child wanted a drop of his blood, and with a gentle touch of his hand, a trace of crimson appeared on his fingertip.

"younger brother!"

Unlike his relaxed expression, Yuuji Itadori thought of Satoru Gojo's words and realized that his younger brother was letting others hurt him, and he felt that his brother's actions were wrong.

"It's okay~"

Seeing that Hisahito Itadori was worried about him, the man smiled easily, condensed the blood in the air into a blood ball, and handed it to Alluka.

Yuji Itadori looked on with some surprise at how the blood hadn't congealed but was still rolling around.

"Thank you, Brother Zhangxiang. Could you give me some more blood from the tip of your left little finger?"

Alluka, deeply moved, collected the blood as well, and then made her third request.

When Zhang Xiang twisted the curse power into a small bead of blood and handed it to him, the child in front of him became a completely different person from before.

It was at this moment that he understood why Rime had said that.

"What is your wish?"

The pale-skinned child, as if possessed by a cursed spirit, gazed silently in his direction.

"Hmm... I hope my younger brothers can be happy."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xiang expressed his wish.

However, after he finished speaking, Hisahito Itadori suddenly slammed his hand on the table and burst into laughter.

Amidst everyone's bewildered expressions, Yuujin rubbed his stomach and said, "I don't know why, but I just really want to laugh, hahaha..."
