The brave Simmel wants to resign

“In the world of sorcery, everything is fair. Just as sorcery power can be countered by reversal spells, curses themselves can also be expanded into the concept of ‘anti-curse’.”

Yi Gu raised two fingers, and all the students' eyes followed his fingertips.

“A curse is an act of harming others. If you don’t know how to break it, you might try the opposite – being harmed by others.”

"If I were to cast a curse that costs me my own life, designating myself as the target, and handing over the judgment to Rika, it would create a logic of 'anti-curse.' Once the curse's effect ends, perhaps the bond between Rika and me will be broken."

“Hey~~~” Maki raised an eyebrow, but quickly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, isn't that just going to die?!"

"Hmm." Yi Gu scratched his head.

"Gojo Satoru is really unreliable!"

“No, no, no, if Rika herself, as the adjudicator, doesn’t want to take my life, theoretically it’s possible to break the curse harmlessly.” Etoki smoothed things over for his teacher, “…Although there are still risks, of course, considering that Teacher Simmel is here, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

—That's how it should have been.

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

"No!!!"

At that time, the scene was filled with the smell of tanned meat.

"Rika leaving... No... No, no such thing...!!"

Once the two-way binding is broken, the convenience of [infinite curse power] and [unconditional copying] will be lost. Furthermore, due to the backlash of the curse, Yigu will be unable to reach the height it should have reached.

"That kind of spell and magical power, just vanished like that... No! No! ————"

At that time, the yangligan was stupid and twisted.

Anxiety and disappointment followed—but calm soon returned.

As mentioned before, the dice game is very popular.

Very few people could break his defenses; Gojo Satoru and Simmel were among them, but even those two could only briefly stir his nerves.

"Well, it's probably because as a spirit controlled by the Spirit Manipulation Technique, I'm not allowed to have much personal thought, so my emotions have become more direct."

He even has time to analyze himself.

"In short, I have a better proposal."

--------

"...Let me go and replicate the real person's technique."

Yi Gu, with his hands clasped together, sat on the edge of the hospital bed with his head down and said softly, "Rika is currently in a state where her soul resides in the body of a cursed spirit, but the transformation of non-action can be achieved by manipulating the soul, whether it is copying, merging, or transferring."

"Theoretically speaking, I can generate a physical body through non-action, or I can let Rika's soul reside in a living physical body again."

Maki was immediately excited upon hearing this.

"Wait, isn't that—"

"Ah."

Yi Gu nodded, his eyes sparkling.

"It is resurrection."

Everyone in the ward remained silent for a long time.

Resurrection, an act akin to manipulating life itself, is an option excluded from common sense.

However, the transformation through non-action is such a terrifying existence.

No, what's perhaps more terrifying than the transformation through inaction is the Bone itself.

Without any knowledge of magic, he managed to preserve and bind the soul of his beloved solely through emotion.

Before entering the cycle of reincarnation, the soul is considered to be in a state of "not having left the human world".

In this sense...

Rika never actually died.

“However, theory is theory, but it is quite difficult to apply in practice.” Noticing the strange atmosphere, Yigu hurriedly said, “After all, although Rika herself has a soul, she is in the form of a cursed spirit, that is, cursed power as her ‘flesh and bones’.”

"To be resurrected like a human, I would need to have considerable precision in manipulating the soul, separating it from the current body and recombining it."

"Even the real person before their death did not have such skills and experience. Therefore, if I want to achieve this... I need to replicate the [Transformation of Non-Action] myself, and then train this technique to improve its accuracy until I surpass the original real person and have 100% confidence."

Unfortunately, unlike real people, Yi Gu cannot practice on hundreds of living people, so his progress will be far slower than that of real people.

Therefore, this process will take a year... two years... or even longer, so long that it is impossible to estimate.

And most importantly...

This attempt is very risky.

The conditions required for reincarnation and Buddhahood are unclear. Perhaps a 'complete soul' is one of the conditions. If the 'inaction transformation' of the ox bone fails in the resurrection surgery, it may lead to Rika entering a broken or distorted soul.

—Does Rika really want to?

His selfishness back then led Yigu to forcibly bind Rika to his side as a cursed spirit for several years. This time, he doesn't want to make a unilateral decision.

But unsurprisingly—

[It's good that Yuuta has made the decision~ Rika, you'll stay with Yuuta~~]

The Queen of Curses has always been indifferent.

"This is really bothering me... What do you all think?"

Shinji Ikari, looking under immense pressure, painfully looked up at everyone.

And this is how his classmates reacted—

Maki: "Yuta, you bastard..."

Panda: "You, Yuta..."

Dog Roll: "..."

Inside the ward, the voices of the three people could be heard simultaneously.

"You're just here to show off, aren't you?! I'll kill you!!!"

"Don't think I'm immune to jealousy just because I'm a panda! I can't stand this treatment! Yuta, hurry up and hand over your bank card! I want to eat Ginza sushi!"

"Tuna and ham salad with potato and custard!!"

"Hey! What's going on with everyone all of a sudden?! -- And DogRoll's swearing is so vulgar!!"

Chapter 122 The daily life of a middle-aged man

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve.

Tokyo was still shrouded in a light morning mist, and the sky was a hazy gray-blue.

The weather was quite nice this morning, with a rare sense of languor everywhere.

"Warm two bowls of milk and a dish of natto."

At Xia You's house, Mei Meizi is preparing breakfast.

"Nanako, if you have time, go and wake Simmel up."

Hi~~~

Nanako, who was in the restroom, was tying her hair into a ponytail and responding indistinctly with a toothbrush in her mouth.

After tidying up her hair, using a straightener, rinsing her mouth, applying lotion and moisturizer, she quickly finished setting her makeup using the sorcerer's enhanced body and hurriedly ran back to her room.

"Simmel!~~"

knock knock knock.

Naturally, no one responded.

Nanako was used to it, so she just pushed the door open and went in.

As soon as you enter, you see a clump of caterpillars on the ground.

The thick white quilt draped over the floor, piled up in layers of soft cotton, forming a soft curve at the top.

The arched white cotton head has a few strands of blue.

"Simmel, wake up."

"........"

The white caterpillar did not respond.

Nanako, as if she was used to it, rolled up her sleeves and gave him a bear hug.

"Simmel, good morning! Get up!"

The blanket was completely pulled off, revealing the person inside.

"Waaah!..."

Simmel lay on her back on the ground with her phone stuck to her forehead, but after Nanako took the phone away, the light shone directly into her eyelids, causing her to let out a rapid whimper.

('?﹏?`)

He was sleeping soundly.

"Simmel~~~"

“Six…” The man’s voice was hoarse.

Six seconds?

"Let me sleep for another six hours..."

"Too long! Wake up! We're all having dinner together tonight, we need to get things ready! ————"

"Ugh..."

Simmel turned her head, intending to bury her face back under the covers, but found that the covers had been pulled away, and her face only touched the cold floor. She immediately frowned, pulled her head back, and curled up.
