Finding a Girlfriend

"Yeah!"

Yuki Tsukumo nodded lightly, eagerly hoping Yuanfang could dissipate this cursed energy!

If he could, she would no longer have to worry about it.

She could simply focus on other aspects.

Yuanfang readily accepted the cursed energy delivered right to his doorstep.

He stepped into the Curtain and began expanding his domain.

Once it enveloped the entire Curtain, he began absorbing the cursed energy.

Crack!

As Yuanfang absorbed it, the Curtain shattered like glass. The cursed energy clinging to it surged like a wild horse breaking free, about to rush out.

Then it vanished without a trace, dissipating into the world.

Watching from the side, Yuki Tsukumo frowned rather than rejoiced when she saw the cursed energy disappear.

"How far can your cursed technique extend now?"

"Ten meters in diameter. Just enough to envelop your Curtain!"

Yuki Tsukumo felt somewhat helpless at Yuanfang's answer.

His cursed technique had grown far too slowly over the years. Even if it continued to grow, it would probably reach twenty-five meters at most.

That made her current research into the Curtain's size pointless.

If the Curtain grew too large for Yuanfang's cursed technique to cover completely, the cursed energy would instantly spread in every direction, creating a terrifying curse.

She needed to change her approach.

She would have to find a way to concentrate the curses clinging to the Curtain in a single area before continuing her research into its size.

Yuanfang saw Yuki Tsukumo sink into thought after hearing his answer.

He could roughly guess what she was thinking, so he did not disturb her.

"Do you want to contribute to Jujutsu Society?"

After waiting beside her for quite a while, Yuanfang suddenly saw Yuki Tsukumo turn to him with a serious expression and ask that question.

"Haven't I been doing that all along?"

Yuanfang assumed she meant exorcising cursed spirits, so he was thoroughly confused.

"Sorry, I asked the wrong question. Do you want to help create a world without cursed spirits?"

Seeing his expression, Yuki Tsukumo immediately realized he had misunderstood and sheepishly rephrased her question.

"I do, but how would I go about it?"

Although Yuanfang said that, deep down he wished cursed spirits would run rampant throughout the world.

The more chaotic the world became, the more negative emotions humans would produce, creating more cursed spirits and making him stronger.

Unfortunately, to maintain his persona, he could only say things he did not mean.

"Get more girlfriends and have more children!"

"Uh..."

Yuanfang could not help looking like an old man on the subway squinting at his phone. He did not even know where to begin!

"Of course, if you're interested in me, I'm willing to sacrifice myself for that kind of world too!"

Yuki Tsukumo tossed her cascading hair and confidently thrust out her impressive figure.

"I don't really follow. Could you explain?"

Yuanfang was completely baffled. What did this have to do with creating a world without cursed spirits?

"From now on, I'll set up these Curtains in places with dense cursed energy to prevent curses from being born!

Once enough curses have accumulated on a Curtain, I'll need you to eliminate them!

It won't create a world without cursed spirits, but it will greatly reduce the number of curses!"

At that point, Yuki Tsukumo could not help sighing before continuing:

"But that isn't my ideal world, so I'll definitely keep improving this Curtain, expanding it until it covers all of humanity!

But purifying the cursed power accumulated from all of humanity would probably be difficult for you alone.

Besides, human lives are finite. Once you die, there won't be anyone to purify it. When that time bomb explodes, the world will descend into irreversible chaos..."

"All right, you don't have to say any more. I get it!"

By then, Yuanfang understood why Yuki Tsukumo wanted him to find girlfriends and have more children.

"You just want my cursed technique to be passed down through my bloodline!"

"Exactly. Your cursed technique is so unusual that I doubt anyone could learn it, but it can be inherited through your bloodline!

So while I work out how to make a larger Curtain, you need to work hard at having more descendants. Only then can my plan succeed!"

Yuki Tsukumo thought about what would happen if Yuanfang suddenly died young after she finally perfected the Curtain.

Wouldn't all her efforts go to waste?

She decided to put this matter on her agenda as well.

"Sorry, I'm still young. I'm not thinking about that yet!"

Yuanfang firmly refused. By the time Yuki Tsukumo finished her research, he would already be practically invincible.

What would he need this thing for then? It would be completely useless.

"You're not that young. You're almost my age! Just in case, why don't you leave me a child first?"

"..."

Yuanfang really could not handle Yuki Tsukumo's blatant remarks.

Has she gone mad pursuing her chosen path, just like Suguru Geto?

"Why don't you make a few Curtains first? We can talk about this after we've experimented for a while!"

At the moment, Yuanfang only wanted to absorb cursed energy and grow stronger. He had little interest in discussing the creation of life.

"All right, then!"

Seeing the resistance written all over Yuanfang's face, Yuki Tsukumo realized she had been too hasty and decided to set the matter aside for now.

Yuanfang breathed a sigh of relief when Yuki Tsukumo finally returned to normal. A great weight lifted from his chest. It seemed she had not completely lost her reason, since she had not done anything extreme.

Otherwise, if she resorted to force, he would have no choice but to expose himself.

After the experiment ended, the two went home together.

During the meal, Yuanfang and Misato Kuroi discussed his studies.

Hana Kurusu listened with keen interest beside them, her eyes full of longing.

Unfortunately, her cursed energy was too weak for her to awaken a cursed technique, so she could not become a jujutsu sorcerer.

Yuki Tsukumo knew that perfectly well, so she paid little attention to it.

Instead, her gaze fell on Misato Kuroi's mature figure, and a sly gleam flashed in her eyes!

"Misato, you're already this age, but you've never had a boyfriend because you've been looking after Yuanfang and Hana!

Why not have Yuanfang marry you? It would be a way for him to repay you for all those years of taking care of him!"

"Sure!"

At Yuki Tsukumo's words, Misato Kuroi smiled and agreed without the slightest hesitation!

More importantly, she had grown much more mature in her thinking and took Yuki Tsukumo's remark as a joke.

She also wanted to see how the little brother she had raised for so many years would react.

Beside them, Yuanfang was somewhat speechless, inwardly lamenting that Yuki Tsukumo was still a little crazy.

As for Misato Kuroi, Yuanfang knew perfectly well that she was only treating this as a joke.

He therefore planned to play along and say he wanted to marry her to repay her for raising him!

But before Yuanfang could speak, Hana Kurusu joined in the teasing:

"I want to marry Big Brother too, to repay him for raising me!"

"Hehe!"

Misato Kuroi took it as nothing more than a young girl's joke, so she laughed delightedly at Hana Kurusu's words!
