Tritium, Me? I'm No Saint Either!

Curse spirits were born from humanity's fear and negative emotions.

Because of that, curse spirits were almost all naturally malicious toward humans.

Among them, Mahito was especially severe.

As the "Curse Spirit of Humans" in the original story, Mahito was the being with the greatest malice toward humanity as a race.

He not only wanted to destroy humanity, but also wanted to torture and toy with them to his heart's content before doing so.

Hanami, meanwhile, was relatively gentle among curse spirits.

But likewise, Hanami also bore an extremely deep hatred for humanity.

That was precisely why Hanami felt that perhaps Hanami could have a proper talk with Ronawa.

Everyone hated humans, so why couldn't they join forces and deal with humanity first?

Normally, Hanami's thinking was not wrong.

Curse spirits hated humans, so naturally, they could easily be persuaded by Kenjaku into taking revenge on humanity.

Unfortunately, Ronawa herself was not normal.

So Hanami's idea was destined to be impossible.

Kenjaku was still working hard to increase his strength.

The Jujutsu Society was also still rebuilding order.

Meanwhile, Ronawa had far too much free time.

Ever since returning to Tokyo after her trip, Ronawa had completely embraced the life of a shut-in girl.

She usually stayed home and played around, occasionally following Shoko Ieiri out for a stroll.

Her days could not have been more comfortable.

And Ronawa was not simply lazing around. Her strength had actually been growing all along.

She had constantly been witnessing death.

That was pretty great.

But while Ronawa enjoyed this life and Shoko Ieiri had adapted to it well, Tritium was having a miserable time.

Although all sorts of human entertainment products had indeed thoroughly hooked Tritium at first,

the novelty soon wore off.

All that remained was pure boredom, pure imprisonment.

Unlike Ronawa, that exceedingly special Death Curse Spirit,

Tritium was a traditional curse spirit.

In other words, she naturally hated humans, naturally wanted to cause trouble, and naturally wanted humanity to constantly fear her.

Normally, Tritium would already have been outside setting off nuclear fireworks everywhere and spreading radiation to reap lives

in order to strengthen herself.

But she had not. She simply did not dare do that.

Not daring did not mean she did not want to.

On the contrary, as time passed bit by bit, Tritium's urge to cause trouble kept growing stronger.

I really, really want to do something bad!

For a born bad seed like Tritium, not letting her go out and do bad things

was practically torture.

This was way too suffocating.

Just as Tritium was about to lose control of her urge to cause trouble and wanted to "make things explode,"

Ronawa came to find her.

"I heard you really want to go out and cause trouble right now?"

To be honest, Ronawa looked very cute right now.

She wore a T-shirt printed with an anime character and a pair of shorts, making her look soft and adorable all over.

But Tritium only felt cold sweat pouring down her back, the pressure maxed out.

She hurriedly nodded. "No, no. Why would I want to go out and cause trouble?"

As she said that, Tritium did not even dare raise her head to look Ronawa in the eyes.

She lowered her head and only stared at Ronawa's feet.

Ronawa did not believe Tritium's cover-up in the slightest.

Did Tritium really think Ronawa could not tell?

As Ronawa began facing her core ability head-on, her understanding of cursed energy rose to another level.

Therefore, the current Ronawa could see Tritium's emotions and thoughts merely through sensing cursed energy.

Irritable, like a powder keg about to ignite.

That was Tritium's current inner state.

That was why Ronawa had come to find her.

Unfortunately, this girl Tritium was not being honest.

Actually, this was easy to handle. One beating and she would behave.

Thinking that, Ronawa stepped forward and grabbed Tritium by the arm.

Then, with a teleport, she brought Tritium straight to an uninhabited mountain wilderness.

Everything happened so quickly that Tritium did not even have time to react.

By the time she realized she had appeared in the wilderness,

she was scared out of her wits.

She looked at Ronawa with tears in her voice. "Y-you're not planning to kill me here, are you?"

"Waaah, don't! I'll never dare do it again."

Seeing Tritium frightened to tears, Ronawa revealed an evil smile.

Then she said, "Don't worry. If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't go through so much trouble."

"Isn't there a fire in your heart that you want to let out?"

"Let's do it here. I can also give you some pointers on your combat ability!"

Put plainly, when a child refused to behave, one beating would do the trick.

After hearing that Ronawa would not kill her, Tritium let out a sigh of relief.

But when she heard the latter part about receiving pointers on her combat ability,

Tritium became nervous again.

She had already realized that she was probably going to get beaten up today.

You bastard, if that's how it is, then don't blame Tritium for fighting back!

We're both Special-Grade Curses. I might not be weaker than you.

Tritium, me? I'm no saint either!

With a roll of her eyes, Tritium came up with an idea.

Then, she put on a timid expression. "Give me pointers? I can't do it. I don't want to get beaten up."

Then, at a certain moment, her originally cowardly expression instantly turned into a cold smile.

She raised her hand and punched Ronawa!

Hehe, fooled you! Take this sneak attack!

But Ronawa had expected it and simply raised her hand to block Tritium's fist.

"Haha, you fell for it!"

"Eat my Atomic Nuclear Explosion Fist!!!"

The instant her words fell, Tritium activated her cursed technique.

In an instant, an intense nuclear fission reaction occurred upon her fist.

Then came a chain explosion at the atomic level.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying explosion erupted.

A mushroom cloud a thousand meters high rose directly from the ground.

The terrifying shockwave spread outward, making all the trees within several kilometers shake violently.

Immediately afterward, as the nuclear blast dissipated, Tritium's arrogant laughter rang out.

"Hahahaha! Didn't expect that, did you, you arrogant Ronawa? Tritium's power is no joke."

"Even if you're a Death Curse Spirit, after taking that punch, you must already be seriously injured and unable to move..."

Before she could even finish speaking, Tritium's smile froze.

Because when the smoke from the nuclear blast cleared, Ronawa stood before her completely unharmed.

She even casually shook her hand.

There was not a single wound on it. It was flawless as white jade, so pretty Tritium wanted to lick it.

Then Ronawa gave the dumbfounded Tritium a calm assessment. "That was your full strength?"

"My rating is average."

"Didn't you eat?"

That single sentence made Tritium blush for some reason.

She was boiling mad.

"You bastard! You bastard, how dare you look down on me!"

"Damn it, I don't believe you're really that strong!"

With a strange cry, Tritium charged at Ronawa again as if she had lost her head.

You Death Curse Spirit are seriously too annoying!

And then, there was no then.

Half a minute later, Tritium, who had nearly been beaten into Tritium paste, completely submitted.

She squatted on the spot with both hands over her head, and Ronawa beat her straight into depression.

Ronawa was indeed not good at hand-to-hand combat, but that depended on who she was compared with.

Compared to Satoru Gojo, she truly was not skilled with fists and kicks.

But compared to Tritium, she was practically a mixed martial arts champion!
