News Leaks, Suguru Geto Attacks! While Ronawa peacefully developed her strength.

The gears of fate began to turn as well.

First was her Death Feather.

Although Satoru Gojo had sworn up and down that he had already exorcised the newborn Special-Grade Curse.

The higher-ups of Jujutsu Society clearly did not easily believe him.

Satoru Gojo simply had too much of a record.

Leaving aside the distant past, Yuta Okkotsu was the best proof of Satoru Gojo's disobedience.

A Special-Grade Curse named Rika resided within Yuta Okkotsu.

That was power capable of overturning the existing balance of Jujutsu Society.

For a Special-Grade Curse of that level, the best course of action should have been exorcism.

Yet Satoru Gojo had chosen to protect Yuta Okkotsu.

Leaving hidden dangers aside.

Yuta Okkotsu alone, as an uncontrollable factor, put Jujutsu Society's higher-ups in a difficult position.

After all, what rulers feared most was the emergence of uncontrollable factors.

And now, when Satoru Gojo held the Death Feather and claimed that he had exorcised the Special-Grade Curse.

How could Jujutsu Society's higher-ups possibly take his word for it?

Especially after they learned about the power contained within the Death Feather.

They became even more uneasy.

Although the Death Feather was not in Ronawa's hands, its power had weakened greatly.

Yet the lingering power within it, which seemed capable of killing every "living being," still sent chills down the higher-ups' spines.

They did not even need to see it with their own eyes; a rough sense of it was enough.

It was enough to imagine how terrifying the newborn Special-Grade Curse who owned the Death Feather must have been.

With something this serious at stake, how could Jujutsu Society's higher-ups possibly believe Satoru Gojo's one-sided account?

They had to investigate it thoroughly.

And whenever Jujutsu Society's higher-ups put all their effort into investigating something, very little could remain hidden from them.

For instance, they discovered that Satoru Gojo had recently rented a small courtyard in a remote area.

And that an unfamiliar young girl, whom no one had ever seen before, was living there.

The higher-ups who knew Satoru Gojo naturally did not think he had fallen for some girl and planned to keep her around for his own amusement.

They could only speculate whether this girl was the Special-Grade Curse that should have been exorcised.

Thus, investigations and probes directed at Ronawa quickly began.

And as everyone knew, Jujutsu Society had no secrets that stayed secret.

As the higher-ups arranged personnel to investigate Ronawa.

The news quickly leaked.

More people began paying attention to her.

For example, Suguru Geto!

At that moment, Ronawa still had no idea that she had already drawn attention.

Of course, that was not really her fault.

Satoru Gojo's credibility was simply too terrible.

The kind where nobody believed a word he said.

"Strange, why are there so few people?"

As usual, Ronawa headed out toward the hospital, preparing to continue attending funerals for the food.

But when she reached the street, the roads that usually had at least a few people on them were now frighteningly deserted.

There were only a handful of people around.

And they kept glancing at her.

Even Ronawa, who was usually narcissistic enough to think people sneaking looks at her was only natural.

Realized something was wrong.

And sure enough, after those few people compared something on their phones.

They swiftly moved to surround her.

They clearly intended to take her down on the spot.

Ronawa was certain now. They were after her.

Cursing Satoru Gojo in her heart for being so unreliable, Ronawa also prepared herself.

She could not beat Satoru Gojo, but that did not mean she could not beat everyone else.

Did some random, inexplicable sorcerer think they could exorcise her so easily?

No chance!

Just then, a roar suddenly sounded from nearby.

Immediately afterward, an enormous cursed spirit tore through a building and charged straight into the street.

The sudden turn of events stunned not only Ronawa, but also the sorcerers closing in on her.

Before they could react, the cursed spirit that had burst in roared and launched an attack against them.

The two sides instantly descended into a brawl.

The VIP membership reading experience has been optimized. Tap the middle of the screen to bring up the menu, where you can conveniently access "Settings," "Previous Page," "Next Page," and "Back to Top."

At that moment, a voice carrying a hint of amusement sounded behind Ronawa. "How surprising. The guess was actually right."

"Satoru Gojo has some nerve. He actually dared to protect a cursed spirit as dangerous as you."

"Isn't he afraid you'll kill him someday?"

Who understood cursed spirits best in this world?

Without a doubt, Suguru Geto.

With the technique Cursed Spirit Manipulation, he was absolutely the person in the world who understood cursed spirits best.

Therefore, although Suguru Geto could not directly determine Ronawa's true nature.

He could sense how dangerous she was.

It was the kind of fatal danger where one careless move would get him completely killed!

And yet Satoru Gojo had not chosen to eliminate such a dangerous cursed spirit in advance.

Instead, he had protected her.

From the looks of it, he even intended to raise her.

In Suguru Geto's eyes, that was completely insane.

But when he considered Satoru Gojo's usual behavior.

Suguru Geto found it perfectly normal again.

That was just Satoru Gojo. You could never figure out what went on in his head.

And compared to Suguru Geto, who still had the mood to tease her.

Ronawa was already drenched in cold sweat.

If there was anyone in this world she least wanted to encounter right now.

It was definitely Suguru Geto.

After all, Suguru Geto really did eat cursed spirits.

"You're nervous. It seems Satoru Gojo told you about me."

"But don't worry. I won't do anything to you."

Suguru Geto reassured Ronawa.

But Ronawa did not believe him at all.

A man's mouth was a liar's ghost.

If she believed him, she would not even know how she died.

Seeing Ronawa's wariness, Suguru Geto could only explain, "Although I enjoy controlling cursed spirits, I would never use Cursed Spirit Manipulation to control you."

"After all, eating you right now would be too wasteful, considering your potential."

"I was planning to rely on you to accomplish my future plans."

Suguru Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation had one drawback: the cursed spirits he "ate" stopped growing immediately.

However strong a cursed spirit was when he consumed it, that was how strong it would remain afterward.

So directly eating Ronawa would be a complete waste.

It would be better to let Ronawa grow.

Only once Ronawa had grown stronger would Suguru Geto's plans have a greater chance of succeeding.

At that thought, Suguru Geto's gaze toward Ronawa became openly fervent.

He seemed rather impatient to make Ronawa leave with him.

But as before, Ronawa could not trust him.

She said, "I see. Then I suppose I'll be in your care from now on."

While her eyes darted around, searching for an escape route.

Naturally, Suguru Geto noticed this, but he did not care.

After all, he was a Special Grade Sorcerer. Could he really fail to handle a tiny cursed spirit?

Although Ronawa was also at the level of a Special-Grade Curse.

She had only just been born and had not yet grown strong.

Therefore, the advantage was his!

At that moment, the sorcerers who had come to capture Ronawa were directly subdued by the cursed spirits Suguru Geto had released.

And at that very instant, Ronawa suddenly sprang into action and rushed toward Suguru Geto.

At the same time, her technique, All Things Die, activated.

Its terrifying effect made Suguru Geto's hair stand on end in an instant.

He had a premonition that if he were directly hit by that technique, he would definitely die.

Just as he was about to respond, he suddenly discovered that Ronawa had vanished right before his eyes.

That was right. The target of Ronawa's All Things Die had never been Suguru Geto.

In truth, unless Suguru Geto foolishly stood still and took All Things Die head-on, it would be difficult to kill him directly.

And if she failed once, Ronawa would never get a second chance to use All Things Die on Suguru Geto.

Therefore, her target was clear.

What All Things Die was meant to kill had never been Suguru Geto.

It was "distance"!

As distance died, Ronawa directly appeared far away.

Without looking back, she made her escape.

Otherwise, once Suguru Geto recovered, fleeing would not be nearly so easy.
