Shota is surrounded by monsters!

That's pretty much how it happened.

"A curse?"

Shota muttered something strange. It's very unlikely that an ordinary person could use a curse, unless that girl is really a special ability user—no, impossible. You have to know that the young master of the Nura Clan is studying in the same building as them. If someone who can really drive a curse appeared, the monsters of the Nura Clan would have been dispatched long ago.

"It's a book."

Araragi Tsukihi took out a book, "The Complete Collection of the Curse of the Serpent".

"Our investigation revealed that the curse the girl used was from the book."

"I don't understand curses or anything like that," Shota stared at the book for a moment, then gave Yomi a look.

Although she said she wanted to watch TV, Huang Quan, bursting with a sense of justice, certainly wouldn't stand idly by in the face of such a hurtful act. She sat down next to Xiang Tai and opened her book. Of course, to the girls opposite, all they saw was the book moving without any wind, finally stopping on a single page.

"Does the snake cut the rope?"

"That's amazing..."

The girls, seeing Shota display his unscientific abilities for the first time, remarked with this sentiment.

The text not only contains detailed methods for inflicting the curse, but also detailed methods for removing it.

The way to break the curse is simple: just cut the snake into pieces.

According to Sengoku's description, after she did so, she discovered that the snake-like markings, which were originally only on her toes, began to climb faster.

But this girl was completely unbelievable; she actually dared to catch a snake all by herself and then chop it into pieces. If it were any ordinary person around Shota…

Never mind, there are no ordinary people around Shota.

But according to this book, the curse should be lifted, right?

"There might be a slight error in the order."

Huang Quan pondered for a moment and said, "Even if an amateur follows the instructions in the book, they might not be able to successfully cast the curse. This girl might have been warned before the curse took effect, and then she panicked and ran into the mountains to catch snakes—she shouldn't have killed snakes in a temple where snake spirits are worshipped. Moreover, this behavior thoroughly enraged the snake coiled around her...and accelerated the curse's effect. In short, it was all because this girl was unlucky. If she hadn't investigated, the curse might not have taken effect at all."

After listening to Huang Quan's words, Shota nodded as if he understood but not quite.

"First, we need to figure out exactly how far the snake-cutting rope on her body has progressed. If there's still time, I could... no, I don't have any spiritual power right now, but you can ask Kagura. She should be able to make talismans to remove this kind of curse now."

"What if it's too late?"

"Don't be shy, just eat that snake."

"What's late?"

Shota asked the girls this question, and Shota silently shook his head, but to them, it was like a death sentence.

"How could this be..."

Sengoku, who had been carefully observing Shota's expression, choked up slightly. He had finally thought he had grasped a lifeline, but then…

"It's not that it was too late."

Shota quickly replied, "I just meant that dinner time will be postponed today."

"..."

"However, there is still a problem. As for the Kita-Shiro-no-Sei Shrine, I remember it was sealed away a thousand years ago. Logically speaking, that shrine shouldn't have such great power. There's something strange about this."

"Perhaps it was the monster war a while ago, or my mother's aura that caused the mutation?"

Shota could only explain it this way. Just as Yomi once said, the very existence of yokai is an opposition to humans. Even if they do nothing but release their aura, it will cause negative things to appear.

Like moths drawn to a flame, monsters are also irresistibly drawn to the aura of powerful monsters—even knowing that they will anger them and die.

"A war between demons?"

"Ah, now that we've witnessed the curse," Shota said to the three girls, "it's not so hard to understand that there are monsters in this world, is it?"

"It can't be a scam, can it?"

Huo Lian, a member of the martial arts faction, looked tense...

"What's there to be fooled about?"

To increase his mystique and credibility, Shota took off his hat, revealing the pointed horns on his head. Of course, he quickly put it back on, then looked at the three dumbfounded people and said:

"I am half human and half demon."

Saying he was a full-fledged transvestite would definitely scare children, so Shota just said he was a transvestite.

"Of course, I hope you won't pursue these matters. Just forget about them later. After all, having too much contact with monsters can bring bad luck."

"Then our brother..."

"Araragi-kun? He should know, but I don't want to involve him too much, so I'm just letting him have a nominal position in the club."

Shota shrugged and said, "Let's put that aside and talk about something more meaningful."

"Sengoku? Please take your clothes off."

"..."

One girl began to act as a victim, while the other two girls acted as perpetrators.

"Don't get agitated."

Shota waved his hand and said, "I just wanted to see clearly the cursed state on her body."

"Then, depending on the urgency of the situation, there will be different methods. Let me make it clear beforehand: if it's too late, my treatment might actually cause you some harm. Of course, I guarantee that these harms can be healed. But if you can give me another day, I can handle this matter more properly."

"……it is good."

Sengoku nodded vigorously and said, "But... could we go somewhere else...?"

"As soon as possible, you can choose the location."

After all, the light here is quite high. A girl would definitely feel shy taking off her clothes in such a spacious environment, right?

Do you prefer dark, cramped places? Like inside a locker room or something...?

"Ready~ Go~"

"How could we possibly ascend to immortality together?!"

"I am a powerful vibration that exists only for you~"

"Anything is fine as long as you feel good~"

"Saying such nice things~"

"My skills brought her to the point of ecstasy~"

"Repeat it again afterwards. Masturbation until ejaculation~"

"One billion descendants, Biu! Biu!~"

"Shut up! What song are you singing?!"

Huang Quan finally couldn't take it anymore, and hit Shota on the head with a paper fan, saying, "Tame yourself."

"No, I just suddenly thought of this song. You see, it's super popular online, 'Perverted Vibration'. Haven't you heard of it?"

Shota rubbed his head and said, "It's just singing a song, is it necessary to hit me?"

"But you know, isn't it perverted to sing that kind of song in front of a naked girl?"

Huang Quan criticized Shota, "You can even have evil thoughts about that kind of girl, you really are..."

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't like flat-chested lolis, even though that girl's voice is indeed very soft."

Shota muttered, "Besides, it's just singing, don't slander me. And I'm not really going to watch it..."

"Hey, Shota, you sound pretty disappointed? What, are you disappointed that I got this opportunity?"

"No, no, absolutely not. You should handle this, Huang Quan."

Of course, if it's too late when you realize it, you'll have to lick the girl yourself.

"Oh, by the way, that song really exists, it's not something I made up, it's called 'Perverted Vibration,' you can Google it if you don't believe me?"

"Who would be so twisted as to sing a song like Baidu?! Wait, what's Baidu?"

"It's just a search engine."

Chapter 125. North White Snake Shrine

"Sorry to bother you."

Pushing open the door, he found himself in a spacious little villa, its decor reflecting Shota's inexplicable postmodern lifestyle. However, just as Shota had been told, the Sengoku family's parents were not home, which meant...

There were only Shota and Sengoku Nadeko here.

How could that be...

"stare--"

Shota was sandwiched between Araragi Koyomi's two younger sisters on the sofa, being stared at like a criminal being interrogated. Of course, to avoid arousing the girls' suspicion, Shota said that he didn't need to see it with his own eyes; he only needed her to take off her clothes in the room next to his, and he could feel her body.

Although he said it with good intentions, in some people's eyes, Shota became a potential criminal who used his ability to peep on girls' naked bodies.

Therefore, they have been subjected to this unfair treatment.

"Taka, Kousaka-senpai, I'm going to take my clothes off..."

From behind the door came Sengoku Nadeko's voice, strained to be louder, while Yomi had actually been in that room for a while. Shota casually responded.

Of course, his expression remained unchanged, his eyes fixed on what was in front of him.

"Is this guy's soul leaving his body?"

"You'll know once you try it."

The two younger sisters of the Araragi family have started plotting something bad again.

"Don't cause trouble."

Shota suddenly glanced at them, then turned his head to look at the entrance of Sengoku's house.

Huang Quan walked out from inside.

"You can get dressed now."

So, Shota called out into the room and waited for Yomi to begin her narration.

"It's more serious than we thought, but it's not beyond repair."
