Who would have thought that the purely negative item [Curse of the Hina Doll] would actually have a hidden attribute like this? What a pleasant surprise.
But after thinking it over carefully, Uesugi Tetsu realized that this "extremely compatible" relationship was perfectly reasonable.
Whether they were Hina dolls or White Brahma, both had gradually developed resentment after being abandoned or forgotten by those close to them, or after being killed by someone close to them.
Both had turned love into hatred.
From that perspective, the only difference between their experiences was their names.
Uesugi Tetsu returned the black, teardrop-shaped Curse of the Hina Doll to his storage pack.
Little Monk Huiming was still waiting outside. If he used it now and instantly filled White Brahma's upgrade progress, it might cause another unnecessary misunderstanding and trouble.
There was no harm in using it later, when he was alone. A few hours made no difference.
"This trip to Yokohama really paid off."
Uesugi Tetsu sighed and was about to step out of Yako's entryway when he suddenly leaped backward, as though he had sensed some danger.
The sturdy security door, already barely hanging on, crashed heavily to the ground, sending dust and wood splinters flying everywhere.
If Uesugi Tetsu had still been standing there and taken that blow head-on, his head would have been spinning for quite a while.
Without thinking much of it, he stepped onto the security door and prepared to leave the entryway.
Then his gaze was drawn to the pool of scarlet blood at the entrance, which had conveniently collected there instead of flowing away.
If an ordinary person had stepped on it without any warning, they would probably have been given a thorough beating by the stone stairs and might even have ended up in the ICU.
