I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

I can now spend the whole day with my teacher.

Yoshizaki Kawa leaned towards the second answer, since the world was so strange that it was normal for some sects to emerge.

Kayako felt a little relieved and said cheerfully, "Teacher, it's Friday today. After class today, I can rest for two days."

I don't have the name of that sect in my mind. It might be a movie I haven't seen, or it might be the cult that originated in this strange world.

Ah, will there be another opportunity like this in the next couple of days?

Then Yoshizaki felt a little wet on his left cheek. Under Kayako's tense gaze, he just touched it and then nothing more happened.

That won't do; the teacher's first kiss must be yours!

She casually brought her cheek close to Yoshizaki Kawa's ear.

Actually, after being kicked out of the dream by Tomie yesterday, Yoshizaki received an email from Kotoko. After replying, he looked up some information about that so-called sect.

"Yes, I prepared today's lesson plan yesterday, so I'm a bit tired."

A slight smile appeared on his face: "Thank you for your help, Kayako."

She shook her head abruptly, wondering where her thoughts had gone.

Secondly, they themselves did not know the purpose of this sect.

If I have a child in the future, I'll name the child Yoshizaki...

If the teacher is lying in bed, perhaps... I can kiss her?

Just thinking about that scene makes Kayako's heart skip a beat.

Yoshizaki Kawa was startled awake, opening his eyes wearily and feeling a warmth on his face.

It turned out that Kayako had approached him. He didn't think much of it and first glanced at the screen.

First, we cannot estimate its strength.

Seeing that the screen was black, he felt relieved and turned his attention to the steaming fried eggs and a cup of hot tea on the table.

However, such sects have two very serious problems.

Seeing that the latter seemed to have no reaction, he quickly gave her a light kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Kotoko's information to me was rather ambiguous, although she mentioned that we had fought before and that the "master" behind that sect existed.

It doesn't say how powerful that Lord is, or what the sect's purpose is.

According to Kotoko, these things should be said in person.

I still need to go see her after class today.

After finishing the fried egg, Yoshizaki felt that Kayako seemed particularly happy today.

Perhaps it's because of the upcoming holiday?

But it's good to be happy, don't be so gloomy, be more positive.

Perhaps there will be no more grudges in the future.

Judging from her previous encounter with the grudge in the house, the more sunny Kayako is now, the more the grudge in the future will be affected by her memories.

When the curse crawled out of the girl's mouth, she thought it was a demon, so she attacked it, only to find out it really was a curse.

Even now, Yoshizaki Kawa is still secretly afraid.

Fortunately, I managed to get up there and awaken the memories of Kayako from Ju-on.

Only then will the latter awaken and thus help him fight the Soul Demon.

What if I kept trying to influence Kayako so that she never harbored any resentment until her death?

Will the curse of the future disappear because it can no longer find a vessel?

Although he didn't know whether his speculation was correct or not, it was undoubtedly the only solution at the moment.

As for eliminating the curse?

Come on, Kotoko's already been beaten to a pulp. If this happens a few more times, she won't have many years left to live. Let's take care of that poor exorcist instead!

Yoshizaki took Kayako to the school, said goodbye to her, and then returned to his office.

The first thing he did was open the drawer, and only when he saw that the videotape was still there did he feel relieved.

After locking the drawer again and sticking a note on the table to remind myself, I...

Yoshizaki opened the lesson plan and, as if by instinct, previewed it before taking a nap in his office.

But at this moment,

There was a knock on the door. Damn it, every time I want to rest, something always interrupts me.

He sighed inwardly and said, "Please come in."

The next moment, Kotoko, wearing sunglasses and a black trench coat, walked out from outside.

"Miss Kotoko?"

Yoshizaki was surprised that she would actually come to his door.

Kotoko took off her sunglasses. The reason she wore them was to cover the menacing scar on her eye.

That would be far too attention-grabbing.

Kotoko Higa sat on the sofa and then said, "After you told me you had a nightmare, I was planning to come find you, but since Kayako was still at your house, it wasn't a good time to talk, so I had to wait for you to come to school."

Kotoko took Yoshizaki Kawa's words very seriously, and waited until Yoshizaki Kawa and Kayako separated before following him.

"Let's first explain your dream clearly, and then we can talk about that cult."

Kotoko always puts the most important things first; that's her way of thinking.

She is a decisive person.

And coincidentally, Yoshizaki Kawa wasn't one to beat around the bush, and upon hearing Kotoko's words, he had already prepared his response.

“Miss Kotoko, I still remember what you said about En no Ozuno.”

When Kotoko heard that Yoshizaki Kawa didn't talk about his dream, but instead started talking about "En no Ozuno", she quickly began to think about the demons related to En no Ozuno.

But as an ancestor, Kozuno was the one who subdued countless evil spirits.

"Is this the demon that Ozuno subdued in your dream?"

Qinzi asked.

Communicating with intelligent people is always a matter of instant understanding.

"Yes, that must be it, because I dreamed of the statue of Ryougi Kozuno."

This is where Yoshizaki Kawa lied; it was just to set up the clues about how he knew about Okuzuno.

"Is it scary?"

Kotoko asked the question again, even though she had already asked it on the phone before.

"A girl cursed by both the demons before and after her."

Yoshizaki revealed the most crucial information, but also deliberately concealed some things.

He was referring to the cursed girl, not some kind of reincarnation.

Because, according to Kotoko's personality—

If Mako is the reincarnation of a demon, she would definitely try her best to get rid of this great scourge.

In her eyes, stability is always more important than a girl's life.

Therefore, Yoshizaki Kawa lied.

Kotoko is somewhat arrogant. If she attempts to eliminate the reincarnation of the previous and next demons and thus remove this danger, it will trigger Mako's instinctive protection.

And Kotoko just happens to be unable to handle it;

Well, the movie "The Ring" might be changed to "The Demise of the Demon".

"So, she's a girl cursed by both ghosts?"

Kotoko's expression gradually became serious. The first and second demons were the great evil spirits that her ancestors had subdued and placed on some kind of overseas island.

As for why it was suppression rather than annihilation?

Because his ancestor, Okuzuno, did not possess the ability to destroy him—

Myths are always romanticized; they say things like the former ghost and the latter ghost are husband and wife, or that they admire the abilities of a minor character and are willing to be his disciple, or that the former ghost tills the land and the latter ghost sows the seeds.

It's all fake; the world isn't that wonderful.

The truth is that the ancestor, Ozuno, used the conflict between the Demon King and the Demon Mother to defeat the Demon Mother with the help of the Demon King, but was unable to eliminate her.

The only way to suppress them in the wasteland is to use their opposing forces.

They are actually extremely terrifying evil spirits.

So, what exactly did you see in your dream?

Her thoughts flashed by, but she still managed to ask the most crucial question.

"A young girl dies tragically, a curse takes effect, and a midnight nightmare begins."
