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

-

The unconscious Yuujin Itadori was brought to the sealing room in Sendai by Satoru Gojo. After reporting the situation of Ryoumen Sukuna, he stayed by Yuujin Itadori's side.

In the Itadori family, which has two curse masters and an all-powerful wish-granting machine, Itadori Yuujin, an ordinary person, seems unremarkable. If there is anything special about him, it is that he can command the special-grade curse spirit Nanika.

Gojo Satoru never imagined that this ordinary person would do something so earth-shattering for him.

His concern wasn't just that Hisahito Itadori's consciousness would be erased by Ryoumen Sukuna.

What worries him more is that usually, when a cursed object is put into physical form, it gains the memories from the body's brain.

If Yuujin Itadori's body were to be dominated by Sukuna Ryoumen, and if he were to discover that Yuujin Itadori could command Nanika in his memories, Satoru Gojo could not imagine what that cursed king would do with Alluka.

Thinking of the destructive power of Ryoumen Sukuna and Nanika, Gojo Satoru shook his head.

That would be the worst possible scenario.

Gojo Satoru sat in his chair and observed the sleeping boy for a long time.

As dawn broke through the darkness, Hisahito Itadori finally awoke.

Upon seeing those bright, clear, light golden eyes, Gojo Satoru smiled and his lips curved into a happy smile.

Fushiguro Megumi stayed at Itadori's house for one night, and it wasn't until Gojo Satoru returned with Itadori Yuujin looking relaxed that Fushiguro Megumi finally felt relieved.

Yuujin Itadori followed closely behind Satoru Gojo, struggling with how to tell Alluka that he was going to transfer to the Jujutsu High School.

After learning that he had swallowed his finger, the Jujutsu Directorate sentenced him to death with a two-year reprieve. However, Yuujin Itadori was more worried about the presence of Ryoumen Sukuna within his body.

Gojo Satoru had said that the power in Sukuna's fingers had been growing stronger over the years, and modern sealing techniques were completely inadequate. He had petitioned his superiors to have Itadori Yuujin swallow twenty of his fingers before execution, which resulted in Sukuna's death sentence being commuted to a suspended sentence.

Inside the sealing chamber, Hisahito Itadori, somewhat bewildered, asked, "Could my sister help separate me from Sukuna?"

"I don't know about that, but you can give it a try~"

Gojo Satoru blinked, then realized that the identity of this container was somewhat unusual.

Over the years, all the wishes of those who made wishes to Alluka have been fulfilled. Considering the power of that cursed spirit, perhaps this request really can be made.

"Forget it, this wish is a bit difficult, let's not do it."

Yuji Itadori shook his head, suppressing the thought that had just arisen in his heart.

He now knows that he doesn't have to pay a price for making a wish to Alluka, but the price of a wish is always an equal exchange. He didn't pay a price because his sister paid all the prices herself.

Nanica simply wouldn't demand a price from him, but the cost of his orders to his sister was borne in installments by those who made the wishes afterward, and by his sister herself.

For someone like the King of Curses, who was able to defeat all sorcerers a thousand years ago, if Nanigar were to erase his consciousness, the price would be so high that even if it were distributed among other people, it would be something that ordinary people could not bear.

Yuji Itadori doesn't want his younger siblings to use their abilities to hurt others because of him.

With these conflicting feelings, Yuujin Itadori agreed to Gojo Satoru's suggestion to enroll in the Advanced Jujutsu School.

Because of Ryoumen Sukuna, Itadori Yuujin was able to see the curse for the first time without the aid of the curse glasses, and this was also the first time he understood what the curse power that the brothers, including the one named Kosei, was all about was.

Hisahito Itadori's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.

Thinking of Alluka's dependence on him, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

However, as he followed Gojo Satoru home, before he could even speak, the voice of Ryoumen Sukuna, who had been mocking him in Itadori Yuujin's mind, suddenly stopped for a moment.

Those scarlet compound eyes were fixed intently on Alluka's direction.

The black-haired boy was slow to realize what was happening, and in silence, he raised his head and met those eyes for a few moments.

Gojo Satoru rubbed his chin, observing that it was only Sukuna's eyes moving erratically, while Itadori Yuujin was still in control of the body's consciousness, so he turned his head away.

"Alluka... um... I'm fine. I'm transferring to the Jujutsu High School."

For Hisahito Itadori, the hardest part was telling his younger brother the truth.

The two of them had basically never been apart since they were little, but in a place like a vocational college, anyone could go, except for the younger brother.

"...Brother's going to a vocational college? I want to go too!"

Alluka's gaze lingered on those scarlet eyes for a moment, then he stepped forward, grasped Itadori Yuujin's hand, and said somewhat urgently the decision he had been considering all night.

"No!" *2

When Alluka said this, not only Itadori Hisahito, but even Rime, whose expression had been distorted since last night, spoke up to stop her.

"Wherever my brother goes, I'll go. If they won't let me go, I'll... I'll find an assistant supervisor myself. Besides, with me around, those people won't dare to do anything to my brother, right?!"

Alluka raised her head, revealing a somewhat naive smile.
