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

When the chief minister led Hisahito Itsuji home, Rime had already put Alluka on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

He heard steady, soothing breathing beside him. Looking at his sleeping younger brother, Yujin racked his brains for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Perhaps my brother will pay the price to him after he wakes up..."

Thinking this, Hisahito Itadori lowered his head in dejection, looking utterly pathetic.

Zhang Xiang and Li Mei were both busy with their own things and didn't get together.

Zhang Xiang stood up at the dining table, poured himself a glass of water, and the scene he had just witnessed flashed through his mind.

Having recently undergone flesh regeneration, Zhang Xiang lacked combat experience. He held his own against Xia Youjie, but when pulled into the simplified domain by the Slit-Mouthed Woman, he struggled for a while before finally defeating the cursed spirit and emerging from the domain.

Before Yaruka and Natsumi could react after their conversation, they saw that Hisahito's wish had erased the mark from Gojo Satoru's hand.

In that instant, Zhang Xiang realized just how powerful Alluka and the cursed spirit within him were.

"We share the same blood..."

Zhang Xiang thought of what Alluka had once said to him.

They're so capable, they couldn't possibly be mistaken... Could they really be brothers?

But why can't he feel anything at all?

Because of the technique, he could sense the changes in his younger brothers' bodies. Could it be that he couldn't sense them because Yuujin and the others hadn't experienced any changes in their bodies?

But......

"Was there an earthquake in Saitama today? Why did that whole street collapse? I didn't see it on the news."

Just as Zhang Xiang was pondering to himself, Itadori Yasuke, carrying a large pile of things, took off his shoes and walked in from the entrance hall.

Today, Itadori Yamasuke returned to Sendai from Saitama to make arrangements for the students at his family's martial arts school and also retrieved his grandsons' household registration certificates.

Hisahito and the other two children have reached the age where they need to go. Itadori Yamasuke wants to send them to kindergarten, as it's not practical for them to stay at home all the time. However, their family's special circumstances make him somewhat worried.

The child has no parents, and his grandfather is truly heartbroken.

"Hmm... There was a localized earthquake, which caused the houses near Fukuro's place to collapse."

Zhang Xiang couldn't tell Itadori Yamasuke that they had fought with Gojo Satoru. He reached out and took the newly bought ingredients from Itadori Yamasuke's hand, and the two of them sorted and put the items away one by one.

"Where are the children?"

Yasuyuki Itadori, not seeing Hisahito and Alluka, casually asked a question.

"Ah, they're resting in their room."

"Sigh... You've worked so hard taking care of the children. My son and daughter-in-law passed away so young. I've wronged them so much..."

Perhaps it was because he was reminded of people upon returning to Sendai, but Itadori Yamasuke sighed and started chatting with his companion.

It was rare for Itadori Yasuke to be so enthusiastic, and the swaggering figure was momentarily stunned.

He suddenly said "son and daughter-in-law" while pulling me along, which made me think of the question I had just been pondering.

"Your daughter-in-law's original surname was Kamo?"

Speaking of Hisahito and Alluka's parents, Zhang Xiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and wondered if Kamo Noriyuki or his mother were related to any of the ancestors of the Itadori family.

Kamo Kenrin was born into the Kamo family, one of the three great families of the sorcery world. However, his mother was just a commoner with no surname. She died young after losing her health due to pregnancy and miscarriage of all nine of them. It was already very difficult for him to find his mother's blood relationship.

"Kamo? No, no, that's not her surname. Kaori was a good person at first, but then..."

While tidying up his things, Itadori Yasuke chatted with the minister, reminiscing about his past life.

His son, Jin Itadori, met Kaori during their university years. They were doing well when they first got married, but everything changed after Kaori's unexpected death.

After she came back from the dead, she was like a completely different person, and she conceived her grandchildren after that.

Itadori Yasuke was certain that she wasn't his first daughter-in-law, and he quickly shut his mouth and changed the subject.

"How about we have saury tonight?"

"What happened next?"

The perceptive nature of Kaori Itadori suggests that this person is related to the question that puzzled him.

"It's nothing much, it's just that she had a row of scars on her forehead after the car accident, and her personality changed a bit."

Itadori Yasuke chuckled, not intending to reveal his guess.

"Forehead...scar..."

The bloated figure, which hadn't reacted much before, suddenly raised its head upon hearing those two words.

"she......"

The swollen man thought of Kamo Noriyuki, who had toyed with his mother, and he had a very obvious suture mark around his forehead. But! But more than a hundred years have passed! How is that possible?

An indescribable resentment suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Let's not talk about that. Are those two kids still asleep? If they keep sleeping, they won't be able to sleep tonight."

Itaji Yasuke had already prepared the ingredients for dinner. It was already late, and although children need to sleep more to grow, sleeping too much in the evening would make it hard for them to fall asleep at night.

"I'll go call them."

His swollen mind is now in a daze.

After hearing what Itadori Yasuke said, he had a very ominous suspicion, but he did not want to believe it.

inside the room.

Alluka woke up groggily, rubbing her eyes. The first thing she saw was her brother Hisahito's magnified face.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Little brother! Have you rested enough?"

Yuujin could tell that Nanika was too exhausted after using her ability, so he obediently didn't bother them.

"Hmm!" Alluka nodded and then rubbed her tummy. "I'm a little hungry."

He was actually a little hungry after sleeping for half a day.

Hisahito, however, misunderstood Alluka's words.

He rested his chin on his hands and said earnestly, "Little brother, you and your sister can charge me a price! I don't want anyone else to die because of me! If you want any organs, just take mine, it's fine to take them all!"

"Brother, what are you saying? How could Nanika and I bear to see you die?!"

Alluka pouted and complained innocently and childishly.

"But...but..."

Yuuji Itadori couldn't quite understand the price of his sister's abilities. Did he not need to pay a price for making a wish, or was there some other reason...?

"Nanika and I love our brother the most, so please stop saying things that hurt your health!"

Alluka couldn't bear to see Hisahito so upset, so she reached out and tugged at his sleeve.

I witnessed this scene just as the expansion phase arrived.

He considered his own guesses and thought that the two children might indeed be related to him by blood.

"That's how brothers should be!"

His heart was filled with immense emotion, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
