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

"Satoru, take Alluka away first. The higher-ups want to see him."

Nocturnal Monarch's expression was hidden behind his sunglasses, and no one else knew what he was thinking.

"Am I the only one who took the entrance exam?"

Yuji Itadori pointed blankly at himself, his expression somewhat dazed.

On the way here, Gojo Satoru explained that if they didn't perform well, Principal Yagami might refuse them admission. However, Itadori Yuuji didn't expect that his younger brother would be sent away so soon after arriving.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Gojo Satoru gave Itadori Yuujin a thumbs-up and led Alluka away.

After leaving the Moth's office, while still in the corridor of the teaching building, Gojo Satoru took a crumpled piece of drawing paper from his uniform pocket and handed it to Alluka.

The black-haired boy took it somewhat bewildered. What he saw was a row of very ugly little figures, each with a name on its head. The names were quite difficult to pronounce, and the figures were very abstract. If it weren't for the facial features and limbs, it would be hard to recognize that the drawing was actually of a person.

"Brother Gojo, what is this?"

Alluka carefully examined the contents of the paper, then looked up in confusion.

"From now on, you should call me Gojo-sensei~ Although I can't teach you much since you don't have any magical powers, I'm still a high school teacher!"

Gojo Satoru curled the corners of his mouth and pointed to the figures in the painting.

"This is the current head of the General Staff Department, Tomohisa Takahashi, this is Hidekazu Tanaka, and this... I drew their features so clearly, you should be able to recognize who they are, right? If they say anything unpleasant, Alluka, you can make demands of them."

Alluka looked at the almost identical-looking figures with some confusion, experiencing for the first time the feeling of words stuck in her throat.

"I understand, thank you, Gojo-sensei."

Alluka tried very hard to remember the differences between each character, and obediently thanked Gojo Godo with her head held high.

Gojo Satoru led Alluka along the spacious approach to the high school for a long time. The stone lanterns on both sides of the road were covered with moss, and the cicadas chirped incessantly in the forest.

This is the only way to get to the director's office at the college.

Unlike their disgust for the two-faced Sukuna, the entire management team was in an uproar when they heard that the wishing machine, which had been hidden for many years, had reappeared.

Those corrupt high-ranking officials wanted nothing more than to get rid of Hisahito Itadori.

However, even knowing that Alluka had killed many of their own people, and after learning about the mechanism and usage of Alluka's abilities from Moth of the Righteous Path, those high-ranking officials still desperately wanted to meet Alluka.

When Alluka insisted on coming to the high school with Itadori Yuujin, Gojo Satoru reported his presence.

Sure enough, they've only just arrived at the college, and the higher-ups can't wait any longer.

What a disgusting scene.

Gojo Satoru glanced through his blindfold at the dark room.

"Alluka, are you ready?"

The wish-granting machine, hidden by the curse master for ten years, is finally about to appear in the lifeless world of curses.

Over the years, he and Jay have had a tacit understanding and wanted to bring in new talent to the director's office.

However, those sorcerer families were deeply entrenched, and many of the new talents he cultivated were suppressed, leaving Gojo Satoru helpless.

Gojo Satoru didn't know whether Alluka would bring about innovation or destruction, but with the power of that cursed spirit, the entire world of jutsu would probably be thrown into chaos.

He will do everything in his power to protect his students, but there are some things they still have to face on their own.

"Let's go inside, Mr. Gojo."

Alluka nodded, her face bearing her usual obedient smile.

He wasn't stupid; he knew what he was going to face. However, Alluka, who had always been protected, also wanted to protect her brother.

He would never let his brother be sentenced to death!

He and Nanica absolutely would not allow their brother to be sentenced to death!

Alluka followed Gojo Satoru into a pitch-black room that resembled another world.

Several glowing shoji doors were arranged together, casting shadows on them. These high-ranking officials didn't even dare to show their faces.

"Cowards who don't even dare to show their true faces? Haha."

Seeing this scene, Gojo Satoru clapped his hands with a smile and let out a mocking laugh.

"Gojo Satoru, you may leave now."

The high-ranking members did not show any change in expression despite Gojo Satoru's mockery. The leader pondered for a moment and then issued an order to the strongest sorcerer.

"What makes you think I'll listen to you, you old orange with half your body buried in the ground? I'm right here, what can you do about it?"

Gojo Satoru said that not only did he disobey the management, he also took out the dessert he bought on the way here and started eating it.

The quiet room was silent, except for the sound of Gojo Satoru tearing open a package and chewing, and the slightly heavy breathing of the people there.

The high-ranking members were silenced for a few seconds by Gojo Satoru, and then the leader looked at Alluka with feigned seriousness.

"Are you the murderer who caused two mass deaths among high-ranking officials?"

The aged voice was very calm, if one could ignore the unusual heartbeat.

"Nanica only received what she was owed."

Alluka shifted his gaze to the figure who had spoken, and a gentle, harmless smile curved his lips.

"How dare you speak to me like that?!"

The figure slammed its hand down beside it, causing the wooden floor to tremble slightly.

Before Gojo Satoru returned, the members of the General Staff held an emergency meeting. They planned to preemptively sentence the student with the wish-granting technique to death for slaughtering high-ranking officials, and then, under the guise of atonement, make him use the technique to exorcise the cursed spirit and atone for his sins.

Who knew this kid wouldn't play by the rules? He came on stage with an attitude that those people deserved to die, which infuriated the high-ranking executives in the management department who were used to being high and mighty.

"But these are all things that should be done."

Alluka blinked his cat-like round eyes in confusion, and when the higher-up was about to accuse him, he raised his lips and revealed a smile that showed no remorse whatsoever.

"Hidekazu Tanaka, do you want to make a wish with me?"

In the darkness, the dim light from the shoji doors illuminated Alluka's adorable face.

Gojo Satoru's drawing of Alluka was very abstract, but the spiral hair bun on the shadow's head was different from everyone else's.

Alluka was certain that she hadn't made a mistake.

On the way here, Gojo Satoru specifically inquired about the wish made by the last person who made a wish to Alluka.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
