"Come in. This will be your room from now on."

"As long as you don't cause trouble, this place will be perfectly safe!"

Shoko Ieiri smiled like an auntie as she spoke to Ronawa.

Ronawa nodded lightly, completely unaware of something.

From now on, Shoko Ieiri would actually be the most dangerous person around her.

After arranging Ronawa's living quarters, Shoko Ieiri went to find Satoru Gojo.

"Tell me the details about her."

"At a time like this, you're not still planning to hide it from me, are you?"

At this point, there was naturally no need to keep anything from Shoko Ieiri.

So Shoko Ieiri soon learned Ronawa's true identity.

After hearing it all, Shoko Ieiri had only one thought.

"Have you lost your mind?"

"I always knew you were a scumbag, but I never thought you were insane too."

Back in school, Shoko Ieiri had been very close with Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto.

She used to call the two of them "the scumbags."

However, she had used that nickname far less after graduation.

The fact that she was saying it again now showed just how hard Shoko Ieiri was struggling to keep it together.

Still, no one could blame Shoko Ieiri for losing composure.

Ronawa's origins were simply too absurd.

Never mind her identity as a Special-Grade Curse.

After all, she was a woman who had mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique. It was obviously impossible for her to be weak.

If she were merely a Special-Grade Curse, it would not have been enough to make Shoko Ieiri lose it.

But the identity of a Death Curse Spirit was just too outrageous.

How could something as abstract as death possibly give birth to a curse spirit?

Well, curse spirits themselves were already pretty abstract.

So perhaps it was not that strange for an even more abstract Death Curse Spirit to be born.

But anyone could tell that this was the kind of curse spirit that would become impossible to deal with in the future.

What kind of mindset did Satoru Gojo have to choose not to exorcise her?

Not only had he not exorcised her, he had even decided to raise her.

Did he really think he was invincible, so he was raising an opponent for himself just to make things exciting?

Seeing the slightly awkward expression on Satoru Gojo's face, Shoko Ieiri knew she had guessed right.

Satoru Gojo really had been thinking that way.

He truly felt that he had been invincible for too long and was too lonely, so he wanted to find a worthy opponent to entertain himself.

That mentality actually made Shoko Ieiri laugh.

Faced with Shoko Ieiri's questioning, Satoru Gojo had something to say for himself.

He explained, "I admit that there was an element of gambling in what I did."

"But clearly, I won that gamble."

"You only saw Ronawa's identity as a Death Curse Spirit, but you forgot that she's a good kid."

"I've observed her carefully. She never actively creates death. She has always witnessed it as an observer."

"And can you guarantee that the next Death Curse Spirit will have as good a personality as Ronawa?"

At that moment, even Shoko Ieiri felt that Satoru Gojo had a point.

Curse spirits could be killed, but the fear that gave birth to them could not.

In other words, as long as humanity still feared death.

A Death Curse Spirit would eventually be born again.

And who could guarantee that the next Death Curse Spirit would be as easygoing as Ronawa?

What if the next Death Curse Spirit was a lunatic who loved creating death herself?

Although fear of an abstract concept like death was very unlikely to give birth to a curse spirit.

Ronawa was standing right here now, so who could say there would never be another?

After Satoru Gojo's explanation.

Shoko Ieiri reluctantly accepted his reasoning.

Well, mainly because Ronawa's looks had captured her heart, blinding her with beauty.

As an absolute looks person, she simply could not refuse a girl like Ronawa.

After giving a few more instructions, Shoko Ieiri quickly kicked Satoru Gojo out.

Only Ronawa and Shoko Ieiri remained in the house.

Just as Ronawa was wondering how to build a good relationship with Shoko Ieiri so she could live off this brown-haired older beauty.

Ronawa did not even need to say anything.

Shoko Ieiri took the initiative and spoon-fed her that soft life.

"Ronawa, can I call you Little Ruo?"

"Of course, Sister Shoko."

One "Sister" was enough to win Shoko Ieiri over completely.

She simply could not resist Ronawa's beauty.

But sometimes, too much temptation was not a good thing.

A few hours later.

Ronawa, utterly dead inside, stood there like a dress-up doll while Shoko Ieiri played outfit games with her.

In Shoko Ieiri's words, a girl with Ronawa's looks and figure would be a waste of heaven's gifts if she was not dressed properly.

What did that guy Satoru Gojo know about fashion?

How could the clothes he picked out for Ronawa possibly look good?

Shoko Ieiri had to handle it herself.

But this was somewhat torturous for Ronawa.

Her fixed way of thinking was that clothes only needed to be wearable and clean.

She had no concept of dressing up at all.

Yet Shoko Ieiri had dragged her out shopping for clothes, then started a dress-up session as soon as they got home.

Ronawa was nearly numb from it all.

But once the outfit changes were over, she looked at herself in the mirror.

Ronawa suddenly felt that dressing up was not so bad after all.

While Ronawa and Shoko Ieiri played "Miracle Ruo-Ruo."

The outside world had already been thrown into chaos because of her.

The first was Suguru Geto.

Ever since he had personally witnessed Ronawa escape before his eyes by killing "distance" and using that to teleport through space.

He had become even more aware of Ronawa's potential.

She was without question the strongest curse spirit in history.

As long as she could grow smoothly, Ronawa would absolutely be qualified to defeat the entire world by herself.

Wouldn't such a super curse spirit be the perfect helper for his plan?

For that reason, Suguru Geto even changed his plans.

Originally, he had wanted to approach Yuta Okkotsu and see whether they could join forces by borrowing the power of the Cursed Queen attached to Yuta Okkotsu.

But now, what Cursed Queen?

Ronawa was the true king of jujutsu!

As long as he could bring Ronawa over to his side, what was there to worry about his plan failing?

And besides Suguru Geto.

The higher-ups of Jujutsu Society also summoned Satoru Gojo.

They began interrogating him. "What exactly is going on with that Special-Grade Curse?!"

"What fear does she represent, and what are her abilities?!"

Satoru Gojo spread his hands indifferently. "I have no idea what you're talking about. What Special-Grade Curse? Didn't I already exorcise the Special-Grade Curse?"

Seeing Satoru Gojo acting like a rogue, the Jujutsu Society higher-ups were nearly furious to death.

Satoru Gojo was good in every way, except that he simply would not obey.

Sometimes, the Jujutsu Society higher-ups truly regretted not getting rid of a disobedient thorn like Satoru Gojo sooner.

But it was too late for regrets now. Satoru Gojo had already grown powerful.

They could only put up with it.

In the end, this interrogation of Satoru Gojo came to nothing.

Before Satoru Gojo left, the Jujutsu Society higher-ups also issued a threat. "How long do you think you can hide her?"

"We'll find her soon and exorcise her completely!"

"You can't protect her!"

Satoru Gojo stopped walking and turned around.

The Jujutsu Society higher-ups thought Satoru Gojo would be angered by the threat.

Little did they know, Satoru Gojo smiled.

"Like you people could beat her!"

Satoru Gojo said disdainfully.

Satoru Gojo being able to defeat Ronawa did not mean anyone else could.

At the very least, it would take a Special Grade Sorcerer.

Anyone below the level of a Special Grade Sorcerer would be nothing but cannon fodder against Ronawa.

Even an undeveloped Special-Grade Curse was still Special Grade.

Not just any trash could challenge one.
