Time Vessel Association Saintess Ronawa!

Time Vessel Association Saintess Ronawa! Under Suguru Geto's explanation,

Ronawa learned of each and every one of those people's crimes.

Then, without hesitation, she killed them all.

Through this incident, Ronawa also guessed Suguru Geto's true intentions.

Clearly, Suguru Geto wanted her to develop a hatred for humans, then manipulate her in the future into cooperating with his plan.

To wipe out all humanity.

And thus create a world where no cursed spirits would be born.

It had to be said that Suguru Geto's plan was quite feasible.

Because Ronawa truly had the ability to wipe out all humanity.

As the Death Curse Spirit, Ronawa's condition for growth was witnessing death.

But it didn't matter how that death came about.

In fact, if Ronawa were just a little more deranged, she could start killing on her own.

The more she killed, the stronger she became.

Unless Satoru Gojo found her and took her out right when she first began slaughtering.

Otherwise, once Ronawa grew to a certain point,

even Satoru Gojo would have to polish her shoes.

It could be said that as long as Ronawa was willing to cooperate,

Suguru Geto's plan to eradicate all humanity could truly be realized.

But the one thing Suguru Geto had not accounted for was that Ronawa had been human before becoming a cursed spirit.

Therefore, Ronawa would not be manipulated by Suguru Geto.

But if Ronawa had truly been nothing more than a newly born Death Curse Spirit,

then after Suguru Geto's guidance,

she might really have been talked into going on a killing spree by him.

And given the Death Curse Spirit's peculiar nature, unless Satoru Gojo realized it from the start and snuffed her out in advance,

whether the world would be destroyed was hard to say, but humanity would most likely be completely done for.

In a sense, Ronawa had saved all humanity once as well.

She had restrained herself from exterminating humanity. How was that not saving them?

After serving as a saintess and executing another batch of human scum,

Ronawa soon returned to Shoko Ieiri's home.

Shoko Ieiri had not gotten off work yet, so Ronawa was alone in the house.

Just as she planned to play a couple of games to relax,

Satoru Gojo suddenly appeared by teleporting in.

The moment he arrived, Satoru Gojo noticed something different about Ronawa.

"You killed someone?"

Satoru Gojo asked Ronawa.

It was rather remarkable. As a cursed spirit born from the concept of "death,"

this was the first time Ronawa had killed anyone since her birth.

It was somewhat unbecoming of her title as the Death Curse Spirit.

Ronawa had originally wanted to hide it, but since Satoru Gojo had seen through her, she simply admitted it.

"Yes, I killed some wicked scum."

Hearing that, Satoru Gojo's pupils contracted.

"Some?"

As someone who knew Ronawa's identity,

what Satoru Gojo feared most was Ronawa taking the wrong path.

Because if Ronawa went dark, the consequences would be terrifying.

Even Satoru Gojo could only eliminate Ronawa before she grew up. Otherwise, once Ronawa became powerful enough, even he would not be able to handle her.

At that moment, Satoru Gojo's killing intent surged.

It made Ronawa's heart skip a beat.

Still, she forced herself to remain calm and explained, "Yes. Suguru Geto took me to a Time Vessel Association base."

"While there, he brought over more than a dozen pieces of human trash and had me deal with them."

"After confirming they were all scum, I killed them."

After hearing this explanation, Satoru Gojo's killing intent subsided somewhat.

In truth, Satoru Gojo himself was not particularly softhearted.

He was quite decisive when it came to killing, all right.

When it came to people who deserved to die, he would never show mercy either.

It was just that Ronawa was different.

She was the Death Curse Spirit.

If she came to enjoy killing people, the consequences would be far too serious.

Therefore, even after accepting Ronawa's explanation, Satoru Gojo still questioned her, "How did you feel after killing so many people?"

"How did I feel?"

After thinking for a moment, Ronawa said, "Pretty pleased!"

"Pleased?"

Satoru Gojo's heart sank. This was bad!

Then Ronawa continued, "When I think about how I killed those people who deserved to die, allowing the victims who died because of them to rest in peace..."

"I can't help but smile!"

Satoru Gojo let out a breath of relief. So that was why she felt pleased.

He had thought that the killing itself had made Ronawa happy.

If that were the case, it would have been terrifying.

Still, although he accepted Ronawa's reasoning, Satoru Gojo could not help developing wariness and concern toward her.

That was something that could not be erased.

Because at the end of the day, Ronawa was a cursed spirit, not a human.

Those not of our kind are sure to harbor different hearts.

In fact, Satoru Gojo had already begun thinking of ways to place some restrictions on Ronawa.

Otherwise, if Ronawa continued growing like this, things would very likely spiral out of control.

As for Ronawa, she was thinking much the same thing.

She was also planning to find an opportunity to slip away.

Although living off Shoko Ieiri was comfortable and sweet,

was the mighty Death Curse Spirit really incapable of supporting herself without living off someone else?

Besides, she was ultimately just a cursed spirit. Being friends with humans was fine, but they could not stay together forever.

There needed to be some distance between them.

Otherwise, things were fine for now.

But once Ronawa grew stronger and stronger in the future, even the cursed energy she unconsciously leaked would become a disaster for sorcerers.

An overly powerful individual would cause the surrounding environment to adapt to her on its own.

Ronawa would be the same in the future.

Even if Ronawa did nothing by then, the environment around her would undergo enormous changes because of her.

Cursed spirits could benefit from that environment.

But ordinary humans and sorcerers? That was harder to say.

Therefore, even without Satoru Gojo, Ronawa would have to find an opportunity to leave.

Some birds were born never to be caged!

Her conversation with Satoru Gojo ended quickly.

Ronawa soon returned to her previous daily routine.

Normally, she acted sweet and cute around Shoko Ieiri while shamelessly living off her.

Whenever she had time, she went out with Suguru Geto, pretending to be mysterious and playing the role of a saintess alongside him.

Honestly, Ronawa was becoming more and more adept at being the Time Vessel Association's saintess.

During that time, Ronawa followed Suguru Geto and witnessed much of the so-called "evil of humanity."

Even though Ronawa had been prepared, her psychological defenses were nearly shattered.

There was no need to go through the specific examples one by one. All that could be said was that they were extremely sanity-draining.

Precisely because of that, Ronawa inevitably came to agree with part of Suguru Geto's thinking.

That humanity truly deserved to be destroyed.

Of course, she only agreed in part.

In other words, some humans truly deserved to die.

Another thing worth mentioning was this.

Later, Satoru Gojo found time to take Ronawa out on several more missions.

Megumi Fushiguro came along every time as well.

That's right, it was still that so-called bond-building routine.

But the results could only be described as practically nonexistent.

Neither Ronawa nor Megumi Fushiguro was a warm, outgoing person.

When both sides were rather reserved, how could they so easily form any so-called bond?

It would have worked better if either Megumi Fushiguro or Ronawa had been replaced with Yuji Itadori.

Emperor Yuji was thick-skinned. He could take the initiative to break the ice.
