Having figured out Ronawa's conditions for growth,
Satoru Gojo finally let go of his intent to kill her.
At first, Satoru Gojo had planned to deal with this newly born Curse Spirit while he was at it.
But after realizing that Ronawa had the ability to threaten his life,
his old habit of seeking thrills flared up.
He hoped to see Ronawa grow stronger and have a proper fight with him, so he could enjoy himself.
And now, after learning about Ronawa's conditions for growth and her beliefs,
he completely abandoned any thought of killing her.
A Curse Spirit dedicated to maintaining the balance between life and death
didn't seem evil no matter how he looked at her.
Keeping her around might even give him a useful ally someday.
In the end, Satoru Gojo announced how Ronawa would be handled. "From now on, you'll stay with me. I'll find a way to help you grow."
"But in return, you'll be under my supervision."
"If I find that your actions don't match what you've said, don't blame me for what happens next!"
There was no way he could simply let a Curse Spirit as unusual as Ronawa go free.
If she ever caused trouble, the damage would be far too great.
Satoru Gojo couldn't shoulder that responsibility either.
But it would be a shame to snuff her out before her time. Satoru Gojo wasn't the sort of rigid person who killed every Curse Spirit he encountered.
So, keeping her close and watching over her himself was the safest option.
Ronawa had no objections to this outcome.
If anything, it suited her perfectly.
Her safety would be guaranteed, and she could mooch food and drinks off him.
As the strongest sorcerer of the modern era, Satoru Gojo's income was certainly secure.
She would follow him, eat and drink for free to her heart's content, and worry about the rest later.
Under Satoru Gojo's arrangements, Ronawa also handed him a feather to use as proof.
After all, there was no way to hide news of her birth from everyone.
Many people knew Satoru Gojo had come to exorcise her.
If he didn't hand over something, Satoru Gojo would have no way to explain himself.
At the same time, it would make others believe that Ronawa had already been exorcised.
It also increased her own safety.
Why not?
Under Satoru Gojo's arrangements, Ronawa quickly changed into a new outfit.
She no longer wore that edgy, sexy getup.
Instead, she changed into a more casual short top and shorts.
Her ample assets stretched the originally loose shirt taut.
Her two long, fair, well-proportioned legs were especially eye-catching.
In her previous life, she would have wanted to worship a girl of this caliber.
Unfortunately, she had become that girl herself.
Still, indulging her hands a little was fine.
Besides her clothes, Ronawa also moved into a house arranged by Satoru Gojo.
Taking Ronawa's danger into account, Satoru Gojo had specifically found her a secluded detached house far from crowds.
It was both comfortable and private.
Though it gave her the strange feeling that she was living off Satoru Gojo.
But that wasn't a big deal.
Ronawa had no shame, anyway.
After arriving somewhere safe and stable, Ronawa finally had the leisure to carefully study her abilities.
As the Death Curse Spirit, Ronawa's abilities were related to death.
First was her innate technique, All Things Die!
Its effect was to kill everything.
It bestowed the fate of death upon all things.
This included Curse Spirits, sorcerers, humans, and even all manner of conceptual things.
For example, space, time, and even cursed energy itself!
The mechanism was undoubtedly powerful—utterly absurd.
But the downside was that it consumed an enormous amount of cursed energy!
And the more abstract, conceptual, or powerful the target she wanted to kill,
the more cursed energy it required.
For someone like Satoru Gojo, Ronawa could theoretically declare his death directly.
But in reality, the theory was still firmly in Satoru Gojo's hands.
She really couldn't do it.
Besides that, Ronawa had other methods as well.
For example, the manifestation of the concept of "death": Death Feather!
That was the feather she had given Satoru Gojo to use as proof.
Death Feather was the manifestation of the concept of death and possessed a special advantage against all "living beings."
Any "living being" could be pierced through by Death Feather with extreme ease.
And the damage inflicted by Death Feather was basically impossible to heal.
Not even the Reverse Cursed Technique could do it.
However, the limitation was that Death Feather was extremely rare.
Only a death witnessed by Ronawa had a tiny chance of producing a Death Feather.
And Death Feather was a one-time consumable. Once used, it would dissipate.
Every feather used meant one less remaining.
At present, Ronawa only had four Death Feathers.
After giving one away, she had only three left.
Fortunately, it wasn't a loss.
Thanks to Satoru Gojo's connections, Ronawa quickly obtained an official identity.
With an identity, she could use a phone and create all sorts of accounts.
Then she could happily surf the internet.
As a result, when Satoru Gojo came to see Ronawa,
he happened to hear her wearing headphones and furiously flaming her teammates.
"You're seriously trash! You can even miss a Q like that!"
"You play this badly and still dare call it gaming? Go home and raise pigs!"
"You dare talk back? Believe it or not, I'll crawl through the internet cable and kill you!"
Satoru Gojo was dumbfounded.
Was this really the terrifying Special-Grade Curse?
Wasn't she just a gloomy shut-in girl gaming at home?
After a brief silence, Satoru Gojo interrupted Ronawa's tirade.
Then he got to the point. "Come on, let me see your abilities."
"If you perform well enough, there'll be a reward!"
Ronawa immediately looked at Satoru Gojo warily.
A reward, really?
Not, after seeing my abilities, suddenly saying, "This woman cannot be allowed to live"?
Considering Satoru Gojo's personality, Ronawa ultimately chose to trust him.
Because there was nothing else she could do. Could she refuse?
She really couldn't beat Satoru Gojo right now.
Living somewhere remote had one advantage.
She didn't need to worry about causing chaos.
After casually finding an empty place, Satoru Gojo put his hands in his pockets and signaled for Ronawa to make her move.
Ronawa was eager to try, but she had never actually fought before.
For a moment, she didn't even know how to attack.
In the end, she decided to just throw hands at random.
Watching Ronawa rush at him, trying to hammer him with her fists,
Satoru Gojo sighed inwardly.
She really didn't understand anything.
Who fought like that?
But when he considered that Ronawa had only been born recently, Satoru Gojo accepted it.
Knowing nothing was normal.
If she did know something, that would be the real problem.
There was no need to dodge. Satoru Gojo let Ronawa's fist strike toward the space before him.
Just as it was about to hit, Ronawa's fist stopped.
Limitless Technique!
Its principle was to infinitely extend the distance in front of its user.
It made every attack appear only inches away from him,
when in truth, it was a distance that could never be crossed.
It had to be said, this move was downright unfair.
But fortunately, Ronawa had activated hers too!
Though Ronawa wasn't skilled in hand-to-hand combat, she knew Satoru Gojo's information.
She also knew how the Limitless Technique worked.
And as it happened, her technique was the natural counter to this type of technique.
The spatial distance of Limitless, huh?
Die!
With that thought, her innate technique, All Things Die, activated.
