Farewell, Shoko Ieiri! Considering how things had turned out.
And considering Satoru Gojo's strength.
In the end, Yuki Tsukumo and the others gave up on the idea of beating Gojo up to vent their frustrations.
After discussing it for a while, they could only reluctantly admit one thing.
From now on, Jujutsu Society truly had no way of dealing with Ronawa.
Special Grade Sorcerers would just be delivering themselves to Ronawa on a platter.
Unless they were on Gojo's level.
But even Gojo would only have a chance of defeating Ronawa.
Completely exorcising her was no longer realistic.
And if they truly pushed Ronawa into going dark and she began slaughtering people to grow stronger.
Then there would truly be no solution.
Because even Gojo would not be able to stop her.
Defeating Ronawa and keeping ordinary people alive amid Ronawa's slaughter were entirely different levels of difficulty.
This meant that Ronawa would truly be Outlier Tier from now on.
There was no possibility of subjugating or exorcising her.
They could only treat her like an NPC—neither provoking nor interfering with her.
Unless Ronawa went too far and prepared to begin a massacre.
Otherwise, no one would stop Ronawa from doing whatever she wanted in the future.
Just then, Lord Tengen, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke. "She's here!"
That single sentence made Yuki Tsukumo and the others tense up.
Everyone knew who "she" referred to.
Of course, it was Ronawa.
So the question was, what was Ronawa here for?
A Curse Spirit like her could not possibly have come to Jujutsu High to enroll as a student.
Hopefully she had not come to finish them off and completely dominate Jujutsu Society.
Gojo, however, seemed to have an idea.
He said, "If you want to know Ronawa's purpose, why not go take a look?"
"Trust me, there won't be any danger!"
Though Gojo was not exactly reliable as a person, his strength was still reliable.
So Yuki Tsukumo and the others quickly followed Gojo out of Tomb Star Palace.
Before long, they found Ronawa, who had broken in!
Jujutsu High actually had an enormous barrier around it.
And it was extremely strong; even ordinary Special-Grade Curses could not infiltrate it.
But that so-called barrier was rather laughable to Ronawa now.
She casually tore open a gap and entered Jujutsu High.
Then, after sensing her surroundings, Ronawa quickly locked onto her target. Using Distance Kill, she swiftly appeared outside the detention room.
"Is anyone in there?"
Ronawa called out, though her tone sounded more teasing than anything else.
Inside the detention room, Shoko Ieiri immediately recognized Ronawa's voice.
A guess instantly formed in her mind.
She answered as well, "No. You've got the wrong place."
The next moment, Ronawa directly ripped the detention room door off.
It had to be said that, in order to imprison sorcerers, the door's security was stronger than that of some military bases.
Under normal circumstances, it was practically impossible to destroy it with external force.
Yet Ronawa effortlessly tore it off with one hand.
She was just ridiculously strong.
"I told you I'd come for you. I didn't lie, did I?"
She casually tossed the door aside, where it hit the ground with a deafening crash.
But neither of them paid any attention to that.
Faced with Ronawa's forceful attempt to "break her out," Shoko did not quite know what to say.
In the end, she could only reply, "I always believed you."
She clearly had many things she wanted to say, yet at this moment, she could not say any of them.
Fortunately, Ronawa knew that now was not the time to catch up.
They needed to leave first.
"Come on. Let's get out of here first. I don't think you like this place very much either."
Just then, Gojo's voice rang out. "Isn't it a little rude to leave without saying hello after coming all this way?"
Ronawa turned around and saw Gojo standing at the exit with a group of sorcerers.
As though they intended to stop them from leaving.
Just as Ronawa was about to say something threatening, something like, "I'm taking her with me today. Let's see who dares stop me."
Shoko spoke first.
"Gojo, you're not going to stop us, are you?"
At those words, the corners of Gojo's mouth twitched several times.
He would have to have been kicked in the head to stop them.
Ronawa would genuinely deploy her Domain here.
Once her Domain was unleashed, who could stop her?
Besides, Gojo himself also wanted Shoko to escape being detained.
Naturally, he would not stop her.
He could only explain, "I'd like to stop you, but I'm afraid someone might be unhappy about it."
"If she loses her temper, I might not be able to stop her."
Only then did he say, "I came to say goodbye. After all, who knows when we'll meet again next time?"
"You're making it sound like a life-and-death farewell. Why make it so melodramatic?"
Ronawa muttered quietly, though everyone could hear her perfectly clearly.
It made Gojo's mouth twitch awkwardly.
Behind him, Yuki Tsukumo and the others all struggled not to laugh.
It was rare to see someone roast Gojo like that.
But after that exchange, many of them felt much more at ease.
At least Ronawa did not seem vicious. She was actually rather interesting.
That greatly lessened the pressure everyone had felt from her identity as the Death Curse Spirit.
Perhaps having a Death Curse Spirit like this in Jujutsu Society would not be so bad after all.
In the end, Ronawa left with Shoko Ieiri.
Gojo and the others did not dare stop them.
Only after they had completely left did Gojo turn to Yuki Tsukumo and the others. "You all saw it. Ronawa is actually pretty easy to get along with."
"As long as you don't treat her as an enemy and provoke her first, she won't come after you."
He said this to reassure the sorcerers.
And to keep them from falling into fear of Ronawa.
Otherwise, for sorcerers, remaining fearful of something for a long time.
Could easily lead to problems.
And the facts proved that this approach really did work.
After seeing Ronawa in person, many people's fear of her faded considerably.
Even Yuki Tsukumo and Yuta Okkotsu, who had experienced Ronawa's terror firsthand, found themselves less afraid of her.
All one could say was that it was hard to be afraid of someone so cute.
"I'm starting to regret it. If I'd known, I would've done what Shoko Ieiri did back then."
"With a face that cute, her cheeks must feel amazing to pinch!"
Mei Mei said.
Quite a few people nodded in deep agreement.
Gojo merely shot Mei Mei a speechless glance.
That's what you've been thinking about?
What kind of absurd teammate are you?
"How much longer are you going to pinch me? If you don't let go, I'm really going to get mad!"
After leaving Jujutsu High, Ronawa took Shoko Ieiri back to Shoko's home.
The place where Ronawa had stayed temporarily before.
Yet as soon as they landed, Shoko claimed that it did not feel real and insisted on checking whether she was dreaming.
But fine, check all you want—why were you pinching my cheeks?
Seeing that Ronawa was on the verge of bristling, Shoko promptly let go.
There would be plenty of chances later. It would not do to truly make Ronawa bristle.
Then Shoko asked Ronawa, "So what are you planning to do next?"
"Do you have any plans? Like ruling the world or something?"
"I can help you with anything!"
Ronawa looked at Shoko speechlessly. What kind of villain line was that?
Was she some kind of villain?
Besides, ruling the world sounded exhausting and troublesome.
Instead of doing something so meaningless, she might as well think carefully about what to eat later.
Yeah, what should they eat later?
