With the curse killed.

Tsumiki Fushiguro, who had been asleep for an entire year, quickly woke up.

Opening her eyes, her first words were, "An unfamiliar ceiling!"

Classic.

Only then did she notice her surroundings.

"Huh? What's going on? Why am I in a hospital?"

"Didn't I just stay up a little late and sleep in?"

Tsumiki Fushiguro had no idea what had happened to her.

All she knew was that she had gone to sleep, then somehow appeared in a hospital.

Could I have slept myself sick?

When she turned her head, she saw Ronawa beside her bed.

She did not know Ronawa and had never met her before.

Yet that did not stop her from developing an enormous fondness for Ronawa in a very short time.

Her looks were simply devastating. Her character design was unmatched.

Then she saw Megumi Fushiguro behind Ronawa, already crying with excitement.

That brought Tsumiki Fushiguro back to her senses. "Megumi, why are you crying?"

"What exactly happened?"

After some explanations, Tsumiki Fushiguro finally understood what had happened to her.

When she learned that she had been asleep for a full year.

She was a little frightened as well.

But she quickly suppressed that fear and turned to comfort Megumi Fushiguro. "It's okay, Megumi. Haven't I already woken up?"

"And I feel great right now. I'm full of energy."

Watching Tsumiki Fushiguro comfort Megumi Fushiguro first thing after waking up.

Even Ronawa could not help but sigh.

She was truly a gentle person.

No wonder Megumi Fushiguro had completely lost his mind after Tsumiki Fushiguro met with disaster in the original story.

They were both too important to each other.

To Megumi Fushiguro, Tsumiki Fushiguro was far more than just an older sister.

She was his only family in the world, and the only person who loved him without reservation.

Because of their unusual family circumstances, Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki Fushiguro had effectively been without parental care from a very young age.

Satoru Gojo had supported them all along, while Tsumiki Fushiguro took care of Megumi Fushiguro.

Saying she had been both mother and father to him would not be an exaggeration.

That was precisely why their bond ran so deep.

It was also why Megumi Fushiguro lost his mind outright after something happened to Tsumiki Fushiguro.

When faced with Sukuna's possession, he did not resist at all.

His sister was dead, he no longer wanted to live, so he simply gave up.

Now that Ronawa had saved Tsumiki Fushiguro.

If Sukuna tried to possess Megumi Fushiguro again, it would never go as smoothly as it had in the original story.

Megumi Fushiguro would definitely resist with everything he had.

That also meant Ronawa had changed the plot yet again.

But she did not care.

Because from the very moment she came into existence.

The original plot had already been utterly derailed.

Soon, after confirming that Tsumiki Fushiguro was physically fine.

The siblings once again solemnly thanked Ronawa.

Then they prepared to leave the hospital.

Meanwhile.

Far away in Aokigahara Forest, Kenjaku.

Suddenly stopped walking.

A trace of helplessness flashed through his eyes.

"The cursed seal was killed. It seems that one made a move."

"What bad luck. How did this end up right in front of her?"

As the one who had released the cursed seal on Tsumiki Fushiguro.

Kenjaku naturally could not fail to notice when it disappeared from her body.

If you encounter ads such as "Are you Mahito?", simply ignore and close them. Do not scan any codes or send text messages!

The moment he sensed that the cursed seal had been killed, he immediately guessed who had done it.

Other than Ronawa, no one else could have accomplished it.

Not even Satoru Gojo.

Only Ronawa's absurd "Kill" technique could do something like that.

Without question, this had affected Kenjaku's plans.

Tsumiki Fushiguro had been a victim he carefully selected.

For the Culling Game, Kenjaku had prepared for a very, very long time and made countless arrangements.

And among them, Tsumiki Fushiguro was extremely important.

Not merely because Tsumiki Fushiguro was Yorozu's vessel.

But because Tsumiki Fushiguro was Megumi Fushiguro's sister.

And Megumi Fushiguro was the vessel Kenjaku had prepared for Sukuna!

Many people believed that the vessel Kenjaku had prepared for Sukuna was Yuji Itadori.

In truth, both Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro were.

Either one of them could become the vessel Sukuna would occupy after his resurrection.

And because this concerned Sukuna's future resurrection.

Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki Fushiguro were both so important.

They were foreshadowing Kenjaku had specifically arranged.

In the original story, that foreshadowing had indeed come into play.

Yorozu took over Tsumiki Fushiguro's body, and Tsumiki Fushiguro's death completely drove Megumi Fushiguro into a self-destructive state of surrender.

Allowing Sukuna to take over his body smoothly.

Otherwise, Sukuna could only have fought Yuji Itadori for control of the body.

In a sense, Megumi Fushiguro was even more important to Kenjaku's plan than Yuji Itadori.

But now, with Ronawa's intervention.

That piece of foreshadowing had been completely erased.

Sukuna could still occupy Megumi Fushiguro's body in the future.

But then Sukuna would not be facing a Megumi Fushiguro who had given up, offered no resistance, and surrendered outright.

He would be facing a Megumi Fushiguro who would desperately fight for control of his body, even without hesitation to perish together.

There were far too many more variables now.

At that thought, even Kenjaku felt a throbbing pain in his brain.

This was too difficult to deal with.

Damn Ronawa, why would she not fall for his persuasion?

If Ronawa had been willing to listen to him, there would not have been so much trouble.

He could have led Ronawa to steamroll everything long ago.

In the end, Kenjaku could only sigh.

There was no helping it. He could only revise his plans as much as possible according to the current situation.

But before that, he had to finish what was in front of him.

"Special-Grade Curse Hanami, I hope you won't disappoint me!"

That was right. Kenjaku had come to Aokigahara Forest this time for no other reason.

He had come to recruit the Special-Grade Curse Hanami here!

After some persuasion.

Hanami was successfully convinced by Kenjaku and joined the group.

At this point, half of the Four Calamities had been assembled.

Yet even so, Kenjaku could not feel happy at all.

"Although we now have two Special-Grade Curses, our strength is still at a disadvantage."

"With our current strength alone, there is no way we can defeat those jujutsu sorcerers."

"If only Ronawa were here!"

Kenjaku sighed.

He truly hoped Ronawa could stand on his side.

As for Hanami, she was extremely curious about this Ronawa.

She had not seen Ronawa in person, but she had learned of Ronawa's strength from Jogo.

Ronawa was someone even a prideful fellow like Jogo feared from the depths of his soul.

She truly wanted to meet such a curse.

At the same time, she wanted to have a proper talk with Ronawa.

It would be even better if she could recruit Ronawa to their side!

In Hanami's eyes, they were all curses, natural allies.

They should unite and fight against those damned humans.

If you cannot find a book by its title, try searching for the author instead. It may simply have been renamed!
