Preparing for Battle Two Months Later!

After taking a stroll outside, Ronawa returned to Suguru Geto's home that evening.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she walked in and immediately asked what they were having for dinner.

With that attitude, anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was the master of the house.

Meanwhile, Suguru Geto was still brooding in his room and hadn't shown his face at all.

Only the two sisters, Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko, were in the living room.

When they saw that the culprit actually dared to come back, they immediately got angry.

"You still dare to come back? It's all because of you that Father stayed in his room all day!"

"You bastard, I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

The hot-tempered Nanako raised her arm and tried to elbow Ronawa.

Unfortunately, she was outmatched and Ronawa easily blocked her.

Then Ronawa drove an elbow into Nanako's stomach, folding her into a human shrimp.

At the same time, Ronawa said, "It's not like I said anything wrong."

"Wasn't everything I said the truth?"

"That guy Suguru Geto was way too naive to begin with."

"His plan was seriously hilarious."

"You're still saying it!"

Nanako clutched her stomach with one hand and pointed at Ronawa with the other.

She was genuinely furious.

But Ronawa showed no mercy and continued, "Face reality, sisters. Your dear father is a complete idiot."

"Chasing after a goal that was obviously impossible was nothing but wasting his life."

"If he were only ruining himself, I wouldn't have anything to say."

"But he hurt others and himself, dragging the people around him who truly cared about him onto a road of no return."

"Didn't someone like that deserve to be cursed out?"

Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko, especially, were furious.

They were Suguru Geto's biggest victims.

If Suguru Geto had had even a little more sense, the two sisters would never have become curse users.

Nor would Sukuna have beheaded them in the future.

Following an idealist like Suguru Geto was romantic, sure.

But it was equally fatal.

Just as Nanako and Mimiko were about to keep exchanging elbows with Ronawa,

Suguru Geto's door opened, and he walked out of his room.

"Enough. Stop fighting."

Mostly because Suguru Geto knew exactly how strong Ronawa was.

He was worried that if they really started fighting, his two daughters would suffer.

After stopping that utterly one-sided elbow fight,

Suguru Geto told his two daughters to return to their room first.

Only then did he turn to Ronawa.

"I won't be persuaded by you that easily!"

"I admit that some of what you said makes sense, but I still want to give it a try."

"Otherwise, even if I die, I won't be able to accept it!"

Did Suguru Geto not know he was charging toward the flames like a moth, with almost no chance of succeeding?

Of course he knew.

But that was simply the kind of person he was.

If fear made him too afraid to act,

would he still be Suguru Geto?

Ronawa had now witnessed just how stubborn Suguru Geto was.

At this point, what else was there to say? She might as well let him do as he pleased.

After making his resolve clear,

Suguru Geto soon asked Ronawa another question.

"If you think my ideals are wrong,"

"then what about you? What kind of world do you want?"

Suguru Geto was truly curious about that.

Ronawa was completely unlike the cursed spirits in his stereotypical impression.

She was more human, more understanding of human hearts.

So, in the eyes of a cursed spirit like her,

what kind of world did she wish for?

That question really did make Ronawa think carefully for a moment.

Then she said, "Well, I haven't really thought that much about it."

"If I had to say, I just want to live comfortably."

Although Ronawa looked down on Suguru Geto's plan and thought he was a complete idiot,

the truth was that Ronawa didn't have any grand ambitions either.

At this stage, Ronawa's goal was simply to find a way to survive.

She would be fighting Satoru Gojo in two months. The pressure was really huge.

As for later, if Satoru Gojo didn't beat her to death,

she hoped to live the perfect life she hadn't gotten in her previous life.

Probably a life where she didn't have to work, never lacked money, could travel everywhere, and could get together with friends whenever she wanted.

After hearing Ronawa's words, Suguru Geto almost laughed in anger.

That was it?

How had she had the nerve to say his goal was garbage before?

Hers wasn't much better.

Was she seriously being this hypocritical with him?

But after thinking about it carefully, Suguru Geto felt that

if everything Ronawa had described came true,

it really would be a dream life.

That would be very happy.

After that heart-to-heart exchange,

Suguru Geto returned to his old self.

He went around causing trouble all day with his eyes narrowed into slits.

Sometimes, he even took Ronawa out to play the role of the Time Vessel Association's holy maiden.

And while they were at it, they executed a few people who deserved to die.

Of course, most of the time, Ronawa stayed holed up in her room like a shut-in.

She used her phone, computer, and other devices to search for deaths and disasters happening around the world.

She used that method to increase her cursed energy.

That was right, she had already begun preparing for battle.

And Satoru Gojo secretly watched everything she did.

When he saw that Ronawa wasn't slaughtering innocents, but was instead staying home and playing on her phone and computer,

Satoru Gojo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Did this girl have absolutely no sense of pressure?

How could she still act so nonchalant at a time like this?

Or was she simply not afraid of Satoru Gojo?

But Satoru Gojo soon realized something was wrong.

Why was Ronawa's cursed energy constantly increasing?

After taking a closer look, he finally discovered what was happening.

Then, even Satoru Gojo was left speechless by the sheer absurdity of it.

What did she mean, watching the news counted as witnessing death, so she could grow stronger from it?

Could she please make some sense?

At the same time, Satoru Gojo felt somewhat relieved that Ronawa could only witness deaths happening in the present.

Otherwise, if Ronawa watched a video about the extinction of the dinosaurs,

wouldn't she become invincible on the spot?

Yet even with such a restriction, Ronawa was still absurdly powerful.

Satoru Gojo even felt that if gods truly existed in this world, they would be beings like Ronawa.

Ronawa's Death Authority was simply too absolute.

She was practically a completely different kind of existence from other cursed spirits.

Other cursed spirits needed prerequisites to increase their cursed energy.

Ronawa had one too, but her prerequisite was practically no prerequisite at all.

In Jujutsu Society, a sorcerer's total amount of cursed energy was determined at birth.

Their upper limit was fixed, and there was basically no way to increase it afterward.

Cursed spirits were different. They could continuously raise the upper limit of their cursed energy.

That was also related to the origins of cursed spirits.

Cursed spirits came from humanity's shared fears.

And the more human fear a cursed spirit could invoke, the stronger it would become.

For example, Jogo represented humanity's fear of volcanic eruptions.

If humanity's fear of volcanic eruptions continued to deepen,

then Jogo would grow stronger and stronger.

That was where cursed spirits surpassed human sorcerers.

Simply put, sorcerers had a higher floor and could practically crush cursed spirits of the same grade.

Cursed spirits, meanwhile, had a higher ceiling.

In theory, as long as a cursed spirit's total cursed energy continued to grow without limit,

any cursed spirit could become a god.

But theories were just theories. Those who understood, understood.

Ronawa, however, was different. She was practically a god still in the process of growing.

The fear she represented was far too unsolvable.

Death was practically the source of all fear.

A fear at such a fundamental level shouldn't have been capable of producing a corresponding cursed spirit.

Yet somehow, Ronawa had appeared.

That was just ridiculous.
