After a "friendly" barbecue gathering.
Night soon fell.
Satoru Gojo and the others prepared to take their leave as well.
But before leaving, Satoru Gojo gave Megumi Fushiguro a look.
Megumi understood immediately and quickly walked over to Ronawa.
"Is something wrong?"
Seeing Megumi's hesitant expression, Ronawa guessed that something must have happened to him.
So she asked curiously.
Megumi nodded. "I want to ask you to save someone!"
"Save someone? Me?"
Ronawa was quite surprised. Who was she? The Death Curse Spirit.
Asking her to kill someone was no problem. That was right in her wheelhouse.
But asking her to save someone?
Are you even awake?
Still, Ronawa really could save people.
"Go on. Who do you want me to help?"
"My sister, Tsumiki Fushiguro!"
Megumi quickly explained the situation to Ronawa in detail.
It turned out that early last year, when Megumi had still been in middle school,
his sister, Tsumiki Fushiguro, had fallen into a deep sleep for some unknown reason.
Her vital signs were completely normal, but she simply would not wake up.
She had effectively become a vegetable.
Megumi had chosen to become a jujutsu sorcerer in order to save his sister.
At the same time, he had sought help from many people.
That included not only Satoru Gojo, but also medical professionals like Shoko Ieiri, who had mastered the "Reverse Cursed Technique."
Unfortunately, none of it had worked.
They had tried every possible method, yet they had never found a way to save his sister.
Until not long ago, when Satoru Gojo suddenly had a bold idea.
Given that Ronawa's technique could kill all things, including concepts,
could she kill the "abnormality" afflicting Tsumiki Fushiguro?
The answer was naturally yes.
It was precisely because he believed this method would work that Satoru Gojo had brought Megumi to Ronawa today.
He hoped Ronawa would intervene and save Tsumiki Fushiguro.
After learning the details, Ronawa nodded.
"Tomorrow. I'll go with you tomorrow and take a look at her condition."
"Unless something unexpected happens, I should be able to help."
Megumi was beyond excited to hear that answer.
Even his usually tense face broke into a smile.
After arranging a time to meet the next day, Megumi finally left, filled with excitement and joy.
Afterward, Ronawa also told Shoko Ieiri about it.
Shoko nodded. "I know that girl, Tsumiki. I specifically went to see her too."
"But even I couldn't find a solution."
"She wasn't injured. She had been cursed. Unless the source of the curse is found, it's almost impossible to wake her up."
"Luckily, we have you, so we don't need to go through all that trouble!"
Curses were a very special kind of method.
They were somewhat like a "murder rule."
Once someone was cursed, it would cling to them until they died.
There was only one way to break it.
Find the source of the curse, then exorcise it!
But what Shoko Ieiri didn't know was
that the one who had cursed Tsumiki Fushiguro was none other than Kenjaku.
That was why Tsumiki Fushiguro had remained unconscious for so long.
But things were different for Ronawa.
She did not need to follow the usual process of tracking down the curse's source and exorcising Kenjaku.
She only needed to kill the curse itself.
That was the true value of an overpowered mechanic.
Being unreasonable was what made an overpowered mechanic top-tier!
The next morning, Megumi Fushiguro arrived at the door to wait.
He waited until Ronawa woke up naturally before respectfully entering.
After Shoko Ieiri arranged breakfast for them,
Ronawa left with Megumi.
Before long, the two arrived at a hospital in Tokyo.
There, in a hospital room, they met Megumi Fushiguro's sister, Tsumiki Fushiguro.
At that moment, Tsumiki Fushiguro lay quietly on the bed. Her skin had taken on an eerie pallor from not seeing sunlight for years.
She was so still that she resembled an exquisite doll.
She hardly looked alive.
"This is my sister. She hasn't woken up once since the beginning of last year."
"I've tried countless methods, but none of them could wake her."
"Please!"
Megumi gave Ronawa a ninety-degree bow, and Ronawa waved for him to straighten up.
Then she said, "Your sister has been cursed, and a cursed seal was planted on her body."
"That cursed seal suppresses Tsumiki's consciousness, leaving her in her current vegetative state."
"And one day in the future, when the cursed seal activates, an ancient soul will take over your sister's body."
"By then, she'll be beyond saving."
The moment he heard that, Megumi panicked.
His eyes turned cold.
"Who did this? How could they dare do something like this?"
"I'll find that bastard and kill him!"
Ronawa smiled but did not answer.
After all, the person behind this was Kenjaku.
Even if Megumi learned the truth, the odds of him personally taking revenge were pitifully small.
Besides, Kenjaku was prey Ronawa had already claimed. How could she hand him over to Megumi?
If anyone wanted to kill Kenjaku, Ronawa had to approve it first.
But there was no need to tell Megumi any of that.
After making his threat, Megumi quickly came to his senses. "Then can my sister's condition be cured?"
Ronawa put on a serious little face and shook her head.
All the color instantly drained from Megumi's face.
The light in his eyes dimmed considerably.
Then he heard Ronawa say, "No problem. It'll be very easy to fix!"
Megumi: ...
Seeing the smug curve of Ronawa's lips and the triumphant look in her eyes,
how could he not realize that Ronawa had been teasing him?
He was a little annoyed. This girl was far too mischievous.
But compared to being toyed with, his sister was undoubtedly more important.
"Please!"
Megumi bowed again. Ronawa stopped wasting words and walked to Tsumiki Fushiguro's side.
Then she extended her hand, and red cursed energy surfaced.
In an instant, she killed the curse and cursed seal on Tsumiki Fushiguro!
While she was at it, she also killed conditions like illness, weakness, pain, and more!
There was no helping it. All Things Die was simply that broken.
Even concepts could be killed.
Naturally, conditions could be killed too.
In fact, Ronawa was not merely the curse spirit best at slaughter in the world.
She was also the being best at saving people in the world.
Before her, no one was beyond saving.
Even for a decrepit old man at the end of his lifespan, Ronawa could kill his "old age" and restore his vigorous vitality.
And if Ronawa grew stronger for a while longer, she could even kill an individual's "death."
She could grant a target the state of "immortality."
In other words, an immortality curse!
Put simply, if Ronawa used her technique to save people,
it was the ultimate enhanced version of the "Horse Talisman."
The noble horse removed all external forces.
Ronawa, meanwhile, could kill every concept detrimental to herself.
