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

"Who are you……"

Yuji Itadori was surprised to find someone else there, and he looked at the child who had come to talk to him with some disbelief.

He looked two years older than him and Alluka, with smooth black hair that swept across his eyebrows and eyes. His face was a little pale, and he looked somewhat weak.

"My name is Otsuku Yuta."

Unlike Hisahito Itadori and his classmates in the younger class, Yuta Otokotsu was a senior kindergarten student. However, because he was not in good health and would occasionally be hospitalized, his relationship with his classmates was just so-so.

This afternoon, Yi Gu You Tai noticed something was off and mustered up his courage to come over, only to find out it was two students from the small class.

"My name is Hisahito Itadori, and this is my younger brother, but he's asleep."

Yujin was frustrated that he couldn't wake Alluka, and when he saw someone his age, he instinctively flashed a bright and sunny smile.

"Shall I help you carry him inside? Cough..."

Otsuko Yuta slowly moved over and, together with Itadori Yuujin, helped Alluka inside.

The kindergarten teacher was startled to see Alluka like this and quickly called the Itadori family.

Li Mei was nowhere to be found and not at home, so Zhang Xiang rushed over after receiving the call.

Upon arriving at the kindergarten, he could tell from Yuujin's expression that there might be something else going on.

"The older brother from the Itadori family needs to take good care of the children. Don't let them go to bed too early, or they'll have trouble sleeping at night and it will disrupt their sleep schedule!"

The kindergarten teacher thought his appearance was a bit strange, but he was still handsome. She subconsciously lowered her voice and gave him another word of advice.

"OK."

Upon hearing the word "brother," Zhang Xiang instantly perked up.

He took Yuujin and Alluka home, one in each hand, and on the way, Yuujin told him about Xia Youjie's visit.

"What are they planning to do now?"

Zhang Xiang frowned, wondering what those two vocational college students were up to now.

The only response he received was Yuujin's bewildered little face.

The two looked at each other, both puzzled as to what had happened.

What they didn't know was that shortly after returning to the college, Xia Youjie took on a mission to a remote mountain village. After that mission, Xia Youjie massacred everyone in the village and then defected.

Xia Youjie lingered on the edge of good and evil for a long time.

During the astral body incident, he discovered that what he was insisting on was meaningless.

After Alluka's existence was exposed, the higher-ups secretly took several sacrifices from the prison. However, the child was released by Satoru, which cut off the information. The higher-ups lost track of Alluka, but they have not given up on finding her.

Xia Youjie and Wutiao Wu both knew what those higher-ups wanted to do.

Xia Youjie's already suppressed emotions completely collapsed when he saw the twin sorcerers being abused by the ignorant masses.

He could not tolerate his fellow sorcerers being controlled by such disgusting higher-ups, nor could he accept that the non-sorcerers he had tried so hard to protect were treating his compatriots this way.

He was afraid that the students at the college would be implicated by him and dare not make a wish, but he could not bear to see his compatriots wasting their youth, blood, sweat, and even lives on such a monkey.

He knew that Satoru came from the Gojo family, one of the three great families of the jutsu world, so Satoru's natural stance was on the side of the jutsu world.

Wu couldn't understand his thoughts, and he couldn't tolerate being dominated by that bunch of trash at the top.

Xia Youjie defected.

This time, he ultimately did not turn back.

Alluka, Hisahito, and Yuta became good friends.

Unlike ordinary people, Yuta Otsuki can also see cursed spirits, which is why he paid special attention to Yuujin and Yuujin on the day they met.

Now, everyone around Yuujin and Alluka, except for their grandfather and Yuujin, can see the curse.

However, both of them were rather thick-skinned. To this day, Grandpa Itadori Yasuke still thinks those things are ghosts from TV dramas, just like his granddaughter who is possessed by a ghost.

Now, during festivals, Itadori Yasuke devoutly worships all sorts of gods and ghosts, even though he used to be the least believer in these things.

Yuujin knew about the existence of cursed spirits, but those things didn't affect his life, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

Egoku Yuta's health is not good. He has been hospitalized several times in recent years due to pneumonia, and he also infected Alluka, who was sick for a few days. It was because of this that he broke down for several days, grabbing his hair.

His technique allows him to clearly sense the abnormalities in his brothers' bodies.

Yujin has a strong physique and has basically never been sick or injured since childhood. During the few days that Alluka was sick, he clearly felt that blood connection.

But if Hisahito and Alluka really are his younger brothers, then their mother is Noritoshi Kamo?

Noriyuki Kamo is still alive? And he even had a child?

Noriyuki Kamo died from postpartum hemorrhage? How is that possible?

Upon realizing this connection, Zhang Xiang remained in a daze for a long time.

He simply couldn't believe that someone as ruthless as Kamo Noriyuki would die from childbirth.

When asked, even Watanabe Yasuke couldn't say anything.

I've heard that Rimei is a distant cousin of Itadori Kaori. It's already quite certain that Itadori Kaori is Kamo Noriyuki, so Rimei's existence is quite intriguing.

Was the presence of Rime, a curse master, at the Itadori family an instruction left by Kamo Noriyuki? What's so special about Hisahito and Alluka?

Zhang Xiang secretly observed Rimei for a long time and found that he treated Yujin and Alluka very differently, and always mysteriously disappeared for a day or two.

Zhang Xiang really suspects that Rimei's disappearance is related to Kamo Kenjiro! He simply doesn't believe that Kamo Kenjiro, who has lived for so long, would die from childbirth!

He secretly followed Rimei several times to find out what she was doing, but each time she managed to shake him off, which made him very resentful.

Alluka's identity for attending school was bought by Rime from the black market. There were very few students at the private school, and his classmates were all elementary school students of the same age. Also, Hisahito had told him several times that if he wanted to act cute, he could just do it to him and Fushiguro.

Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Jinji moved away and they don't see each other often. Alluka and Nanika prefer to act cute with their older brother more than others, and nothing has happened in the short term.

However, this peaceful situation changed after Yi Gu You Tai returned from the hospital.

While hospitalized with pneumonia, Yuta met a girl named Rika Kimoto in the hospital.

The girl was a little older than Yi Gu, with fair skin and a beauty mark on the corner of her mouth that gave her a charm that didn't match her age.

From the moment Alluka saw Rika Kimoto, she could tell that she was a person with strong desires, just like Shirakawa.

Several children were playing in the park, building sandcastles. During their play, Alluka suddenly gave Rika Kimoto a gentle and harmless smile.

"Rika Kimoto, can you smile?"

Those around Alluka knew that he would make demands of them from time to time. Yuta Otsuku only knew that Alluka liked to act spoiled towards his brother, but he didn't know what his specific abilities were.

Rika Kimoto never expected Alluka to make such a request of her.

After being prompted by Yuujin to grant the other party's three requests, the girl naively pondered the word "wish" for a moment.

"Besides marrying Yuta, my current wish is to never see my grandmother again, and I never want to eat overcooked eggplant again..."

------------

My eyes are inflamed and I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable, so that's all for today's chapter. It's also poorly written; I'll revise it when I have time.

I wanted to write transitional chapters to quickly get the characters to the main storyline, but no matter how I wrote them, they felt so strange. I'm constantly scratching my head like the monkey Xia Youjie described...
