The sound of the door opening instantly drew Ronawa and Nanako's attention.

Then, "Suguru Geto" pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing "Suguru Geto" return home, the Nanako sisters immediately stood up, ready to greet him.

But Ronawa noticed the stitch marks on "Suguru Geto's" forehead.

Kenjaku! At that moment, Ronawa finally understood what she had overlooked before.

Suguru Geto had still gone ahead and launched the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

"That guy really was an idiot!"

Ronawa felt a little annoyed.

She had clearly told Suguru Geto that his so-called plan was nothing but a mirage.

It was impossible to achieve.

How could he still throw away his life for a plan that could never succeed?

But when Ronawa thought of Suguru Geto's personality, she felt relieved again.

For an idealistic lunatic like him, nothing he did would be too surprising.

And there was no point thinking about that now.

Because Kenjaku had already taken over the account.

Rather than dwell on Suguru Geto's thought process, she should figure out how to deal with the nuisance that was Kenjaku.

Just as the Nanako sisters were about to run to Suguru Geto's side.

Ronawa stopped both of them with one hand each.

Then she looked at Kenjaku and said, "You've got some nerve, showing up right in front of me like this."

"What, you think I can't kill you?"

After slaughtering a batch of Jujutsu Higher-Ups and receiving a massive boost, Ronawa's strength had risen dramatically.

Even compared to Satoru Gojo, she was no weaker.

Kenjaku was absolutely no match for her.

Sukuna would have to come instead.

That was why Kenjaku's actions were actually quite bold.

One wrong move, and he would die here.

Ronawa's attitude toward "Suguru Geto" also left the Nanako sisters stunned.

They looked at Ronawa and "Suguru Geto," unable to understand why the atmosphere had suddenly become so tense.

"Ronawa, what are you doing?"

"Why are you speaking to Father like that?"

Ronawa rolled her eyes at Nanako. "Take a good look. Is that thing in front of you really your father?"

"It's just a monster that took over that idiot Suguru Geto's body."

"Kenjaku, if I remember correctly, that's your name, right?"

Only after Ronawa pointed it out did the Nanako sisters notice that Suguru Geto was different.

They also noticed the obvious stitch line on his forehead.

Even they realized something was wrong now.

Kenjaku spoke up as well. "I didn't expect you to know me. I thought I was pretty mysterious."

"That's right, I'm Kenjaku. Of course, I'm also Suguru Geto."

"Shut up, you monster! What did you do to Father?"

"Give Father's body back, now!"

Nanako and Mimiko completely lost it, their cursed energy surging violently at that moment.

When they looked at Kenjaku with reddened eyes, their gazes were filled with killing intent.

They wanted nothing more than to rush over and fight Kenjaku to the death.

But Ronawa stopped them again.

The sisters' strength would only place them in the lower-middle ranks even at Jujutsu High.

If they went after Kenjaku, they were guaranteed to die.

Of course Ronawa had to stop them.

Kenjaku explained, "I think you misunderstand. I didn't actually do anything to Suguru Geto."

"His death had nothing to do with me either. He went to Jujutsu High to block their gates himself, then those Higher-Ups beat him to death."

"I'm merely borrowing his body for a while!"

Kenjaku explained.

Then he added, "By the way, if nothing unexpected happened, Lady Ronawa, you killed all those Higher-Ups, didn't you?"

Facing their gazes, Ronawa nodded.

She admitted it.

Nanako and Mimiko were instantly plunged into confusion.

Father was dead, and their enemies were dead too.

What were they supposed to do now?

Ignoring the two sisters, who were questioning their entire existence.

Ronawa looked at Kenjaku.

"Who gave you the confidence to face me directly?"

"You don't seriously think you can survive in my hands, do you?"

Ronawa's opinion of Kenjaku had always remained the same.

He was a complete lunatic, a vile thrill-seeker.

At the same time, he was someone who desecrated death.

Using his Brain-Swapping Technique, he had clung to life for over a thousand years.

If she had never encountered someone like that, then so be it. But now that he had appeared before Ronawa.

Ronawa truly wanted to kill him.

Kenjaku also sensed Ronawa's killing intent, and cold sweat immediately ran down his face.

But he quickly said, "With the Death Curse Spirit's abilities, killing me would naturally be effortless."

"However, I believe you won't kill me."

"Because only I can bring Mr. Suguru Geto back to life!"

Hearing that, Ronawa quickly understood what Kenjaku meant.

"You mean the Culling Game?!"

Kenjaku was very surprised. How did Ronawa even know about his Culling Game plan?

But he still nodded in acknowledgment.

"That's right. Not long ago, I made a contract with Mr. Suguru Geto's soul."

"As long as I activate the Culling Game, Suguru Geto will return."

"Although he'll return as a player, that's still better than disappearing completely."

This was what gave Kenjaku the confidence to come face Ronawa.

Without this, he really would have chosen to avoid Ronawa at all costs.

The Death Curse Spirit truly could crush him with ease.

When the Nanako sisters heard that Suguru Geto still had hope of returning, they immediately stood in front of Kenjaku.

They were afraid that if Ronawa got upset, she would kill Kenjaku.

Seeing this, Ronawa could not help rolling her eyes.

These two brainless idiots.

They had truly been led around by the nose by Kenjaku.

But it was understandable.

After all, in their hearts, Suguru Geto was far more important than their own lives.

In the end, Ronawa temporarily gave up on killing Kenjaku.

After all, she could not truly destroy Suguru Geto's chance of returning.

However, once the Culling Game began.

Kenjaku would have to die.

Using Suguru Geto's resurrection through the Culling Game as his trump card.

Kenjaku successfully dispelled Ronawa's hostility for the time being.

Then he began trying to sweet-talk Ronawa into joining him.

He said a whole lot, but in summary, it all came down to one sentence.

He wanted Ronawa to cause trouble with him and turn the whole world upside down.

But Ronawa refused without hesitation.

"I don't trust you, and if I stay around you, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself from killing you."

Ronawa's reasoning was sound enough that Kenjaku gave up on trying to recruit her.

Besides, if a Death Curse Spirit really followed him around every day, Kenjaku would be afraid too.

What if Ronawa found him irritating one day and casually killed him?

He had no confidence that he could survive in Ronawa's hands.

As long as Ronawa did not stop his plan or interfere with him activating the Culling Game, that was enough.
