Kenjaku on the Offensive!

Kenjaku on the Offensive! After rescuing Shoko Ieiri from the detention room at Jujutsu High,

Ronawa and Shoko Ieiri entered vacation mode.

The next day, the two set off for Sendai and happily headed to the seaside for a vacation.

However, the uproar Ronawa had caused had yet to settle.

Ronawa had nearly wiped out the Jujutsu Higher-Ups in a single battle.

The impact and ripples it caused could not be brought to an end in a short time.

The aftermath was enormous, directly throwing all of Jujutsu Society into violent turmoil.

At the same time, it came with countless struggles and killings over power.

After all, the older generation of powerful sorcerers had practically been wiped out.

The power they had previously monopolized had also been left vacant.

It was the perfect time for the middle generation of sorcerers to take the stage and seize power.

Furthermore, those higher-ups had died so suddenly that much of the authority that should have been smoothly transferred could no longer be handed over normally.

All kinds of bloodshed followed.

It could be said that Ronawa had single-handedly thrown all of Jujutsu Society into unrest.

Still, things remained broadly stable, because Satoru Gojo was still around.

Under Satoru Gojo's suppression, the turmoil in Jujutsu Society was intense, but it had not yet reached an irreparable point.

That said, Satoru Gojo's reputation had become even worse.

His reputation had already been bad, and now he had offended many people in order to stabilize the situation.

As a result, Satoru Gojo had become someone everyone in Jujutsu Society wanted to denounce.

Some of the more radical ones had even begun calling Satoru Gojo a traitor to humanity.

Fortunately, Satoru Gojo himself did not care about any of that.

If he cared about his reputation, he would not be Satoru Gojo.

But not caring did not mean he was not annoyed.

Especially when Ronawa, the chief culprit behind all this, was living so comfortably.

That made Satoru Gojo very unhappy.

He wanted to vacation at the beach too!

Work really was bullshit.

As the sorcerers remained embroiled in chaos,

the most direct consequence was that curses became even more rampant.

The sorcerers who should have been exorcising curses and keeping the situation under control were busy fighting over power, leaving the curses completely unchecked.

All kinds of curse-related incidents surged.

Cases of people vanishing after being attacked by curses also became increasingly frequent.

But none of that had much to do with Ronawa.

After all, she was a curse, not a sorcerer.

The fact that she did not actively go on killing sprees and wreak havoc on the human world like other curses was already the result of her restraining herself.

No one could possibly expect a curse like her to go around exorcising other curses.

Then what would sorcerers even be for?

Besides, she could not be bothered to do it.

Wouldn't it be better to spend that time traveling everywhere and enjoying life?

All she could say was that a life where she did not have to work and only needed to travel around was awesome.

The only problem was that Shoko Ieiri was a little too clingy.

Other than that, everything was great.

Meanwhile, Kenjaku was also making his moves.

After they parted ways, Kenjaku quickly took full possession of the legacy Suguru Geto had left behind.

Aside from the sisters Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko, the most useful part was the Time Vessel Association's influence.

The Time Vessel Association was no insignificant roadside cult.

It was a massive evil cult that had swept across Japan.

Not only did it have countless members and enormous funds, it also had deep ties with many influential figures in Japan.

Did they really think a religion as large as the Time Vessel Association would not have powerful backers?

The votes under the Time Vessel Association's influence were no small number.

They were enough to make many politicians scramble to curry favor with it.

Naturally, such a massive force was also Kenjaku's most useful card.

At the very least, he would no longer need to worry about intelligence or funding.

Besides those mundane resources, Kenjaku also keenly felt how lacking his side was in high-end combat power.

Other than himself, there was no one worth mentioning.

The sisters Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko were pretty, but honestly, their strength was mediocre at best.

They simply could not be put to use.

Ronawa was strong enough, but Ronawa did not give a damn about him.

To strengthen his side, Kenjaku decisively began recruiting.

Of course, it could also be called swindling.

And the targets of his swindling were other Special-Grade Curses.

Furthermore, when Kenjaku inherited Suguru Geto's body, he had also inherited Suguru Geto's cursed technique.

However, when Suguru Geto had desperately fought the Jujutsu Higher-Ups before, he had fed all the curses under his control into "Maximum: Uzumaki."

As a result, Kenjaku did not actually have many curses under his control at the moment.

He had to find and subjugate them again.

It was perfect timing to handle both matters at once.

Thus, while Ronawa traveled the world with Shoko Ieiri,

Kenjaku took the sisters Nanako and Mimiko around in search of curses.

If a curse had not reached the level of a Special-Grade Curse, Kenjaku refused none of them and subjugated every one he encountered.

As for Special-Grade Curses, he had not encountered any yet.

Once he did, he would find a way to deceive and recruit them.

Because of that, all of Jujutsu Society had actually fallen into a strange calm.

On the sorcerers' side, under Satoru Gojo's suppression, power and status were being reorganized in an orderly fashion.

On the curses' side, Ronawa was traveling everywhere with Shoko Ieiri.

On the curse users' side, Kenjaku was quietly accumulating power and preparing for his future plans.

It had the air of a calm before the storm.

As the saying went, happy times always passed quickly.

As they traveled around and enjoyed themselves, another two months passed without them noticing.

At the same time, a new year began.

By then, Ronawa and Shoko Ieiri had traveled to Saga Prefecture in Japan.

As one of the regions in Japan that had first come into contact with Western civilization during the Meiji Restoration, Saga Prefecture

was one of the starting points of Japan's Industrial Revolution.

It was also an important site of Japan's Yayoi Culture.

Furthermore, there was an ancient Inari Shrine here, drawing many tourists every year who came from far away to worship.

In short, Saga Prefecture was a region with abundant tourism resources.

Ronawa and Shoko Ieiri were having quite a good time.

Until that night.

As the two stayed up late in their hotel, they suddenly sensed an enormous amount of cursed energy being born nearby!

As a curse, Ronawa immediately identified the source of that cursed energy.

A new curse had been born.

And its level was Special-Grade Rank!

Although it could not compare to the scale of cursed energy when Ronawa had been born,

compared to ordinary Special-Grade Curses, the cursed energy released at this newborn Special-Grade Curse's birth was far greater.

"Curses really have been appearing frequently lately. Another new curse has been born."

"Judging by its strength, it's Special-Grade Rank. It isn't far from us either—it's in neighboring Nagasaki!"

Ronawa walked to the window and looked through it at the distant sky, which had been stained red by the massive cursed energy.

At the same time, she spoke to Shoko Ieiri beside her.

Shoko Ieiri, however, became interested. "How about we go take a look together? Let's see what this newborn Special-Grade Curse is all about."

"Honestly, I've never seen a Special-Grade Curse being born before."

Ronawa did not refuse.

Sure, they could take a look.

It was only a Special-Grade Curse. Who wasn't one?
