Once he had settled on a name for his new cursed tool, Kamo Xu willed False Sun God Slayer to cut open his fingertip and merge completely into his blood.
Before long, it nestled inside his heart like a homebody returning home, exactly like Kamo Xu after work in his previous life.
After examining it carefully, he found that unless he took False Sun God Slayer out beforehand, summoning it would apparently pierce his heart. Still, a little Reverse Cursed Technique would fix that, so it hardly mattered.
A mere fatal injury. No big deal.
With that, the so-called "apology" the Zenin sisters had promised was officially over. For the moment, none of them had anything else to talk about, leaving things rather awkward.
Maki Zenin had no idea what to say. Having misunderstood Kamo Xu's character, she felt mortified whenever she remembered what had gone through her head before coming here. She bit down on the spoon she had just used for her ice cream and stayed silent.
Mai remained sitting upright, partly because she had no idea what Kamo Xu thought of the cursed tool and was hoping he might give her a word of praise.
She was also curious whether Kamo Xu would break the silence and say something first.
As for Kamo Xu...
You expected this absolute oddball to talk? And say something nice, at that?
If you could turn into a cursed spirit, he would have plenty to say to you in an instant.
But your good days would probably be over, too~ (smirk.jpg)
Jokes aside, Kamo Xu actually had quite a few reservations about talking to other people now.
For one thing, there was his cursed energy... Even though he could control most of it, its sheer volume still made it leak out unconsciously.
