I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

"These are just ordinary statues."

"Makoto."

Kotoko Higa interrupted Makoto, her words carrying a hint of dissatisfaction: "One should have a serious attitude towards doing things."

"Yoshizaki Kawa, you are a dedicated teacher, but I still hope you can persuade that child to disband that so-called club. There are many unknowns in this world. Perhaps some words or actions will violate taboos. Don't gamble with your luck. You only have one life."

"For some reason, I cannot disband the club."

Yoshizaki sighed.

"Do you need me to lend you a female ghost? If they're students, letting them know that ghosts really exist should make them give up, right?"

Tomie and Kayako are indeed afraid of ghosts, provided that... these ghosts are still alive after getting close to them, instead of suddenly evaporating halfway through.

Yoshizaki thought of the Po-monster that had appeared in front of Tomie earlier, which vanished instantly, as if it had evaporated.

"You know nothing about college students. In some ways, they are as stubborn as oxen. I guess you should be worried about the fate of the female ghost now that you know there are ghosts and that they won't harm them."

"...Okay, I was just ignorant."

"So—is there any way to prevent them from getting into trouble while they're messing around?"

"Or rather, is there any powerful magical artifact that I'd like to buy for them?"

“Magic artifacts are not omnipotent. Let me be frank with you. Magic artifacts that can resist ghosts or curses are just another kind of curse. If they are drawn out, it will be even more troublesome.”

“Even the shrines you usually see, the so-called ‘gods’ inside are nothing more than more powerful demons. So it was the right thing for you to come to us instead of the shrines. The price you have to pay to command the gods is beyond your imagination.”

Well, that explains why the bracelet Kayako gave herself had exorcising power; after all, it was a gift from the future Demon King, and it probably carried an unimaginable curse.

However—Kotoko may have misunderstood.

The reason he doesn't visit shrines is simply because the memory of being scammed in the past makes him distrust shrines.

After chatting for a while, Yoshizaki suddenly had a whimsical idea: wouldn't it be great if he became a medium?

But as soon as he asked the question, he was met with Makoto's mockery.

"Become a medium? You should check who your ancestors were first! I've said it so many times, only those with his bloodline are qualified to become mediums!"

"Makoto! Don't be rude!"

"To tell you the truth, sister."

When will Japan finally revise this garbage bloodline system?

correct--

Why does Kayako possess the power of a medium? Could she also be a descendant of En no Kakuzu?

Doesn't that mean his character design is the same as Sadako's?

“Strictly speaking, my sister is right, only his descendants are eligible, but there is one exception.”

"What exception?"

Yoshizakigawa asked;

"A reincarnation of a great evil spirit."

Her tone was calm, but the meaning behind it sent chills down Yoshizaki's spine.

Chapter 71 Curse

Yoshizaki thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that Kayako's specific origins were not mentioned in the original novel, but if she was just an ordinary girl, it would be too outrageous for her to rely on her resentment to this extent.

After all, in this absurd land, there are many people with more tragic backgrounds and more terrible experiences than her; it doesn't make sense that Kayako became the vengeful spirit.

and so--

Is Kayako truly a reincarnation of a great evil spirit?

Damn, isn't that just a born evil Uchiha brat?

But Yoshizaki felt that Kayako was still very cute and didn't look like a demon at all. He was so touched that he cried when he bought her some clothes!

"Please explain in detail."

Did you ever play games like killing frogs or breaking dragonfly wings when you were a child?

However, at this moment, Kotoko asked a question in return.

"No, I'm not that perverted."

The original owner was so poor when he was a child that he couldn't even afford to eat shit, so where would he have the time to do such outrageous things?

Higa Kotoko: "...It seems you are indeed a decent person, but in fact, most children are curious about death."

"Broken wings, watching dragonflies struggle in pain, frogs fall to their deaths, feeling life dissipate. Just like a child's curiosity about death, the dead also carry an obsession with 'life.' But ordinary dead cannot break the boundaries of life and can only wander and torment the world forever, while powerful evil spirits have the power of reincarnation."

"They will be reincarnated and reborn. Such people are born with great evil and terrifying power. In certain thoughts of mutual repulsion, they may be driven to use their power to drive away other evil spirits."

"Of course, although it may seem like a good deed, such evil spirits are inherently wicked and cannot be reformed, because they must have evil thoughts in their very nature. Whether it is a human or an evil spirit, as long as they offend them, they will be destroyed."

After speaking, Kotoko turned her gaze to Yoshizaki Kawa, as if trying to discern something from him.

Upon hearing this, Yoshizaki Kawa recalled the story of Ju-on, where Kayako ultimately entered a woman's body, reborn herself, and then killed the mother.

etc--

By the way, could my transmigration be considered the reincarnation of an evil spirit?

However, Yoshizaki thought about it and realized that someone as kind as himself shouldn't be an evil spirit.

Besides, if it really is an evil spirit, then why hasn't he awakened the ability to punch and kill the demon?

Kotoko didn't see anything from Yoshizaki Kawa, and even her attempt to enter his dream failed.

She could only stand up, look at Yoshizaki Kawa, extend her hands, and say in a gentle tone, "Let's stop here then, Mr. Yoshizaki Kawa. I'll come to see you this weekend."

Seeing Kotoko extend her hand, Yoshizaki Kawa also politely extended his hand to shake hers;

Her skin was somewhat rough, and even had some calluses, but it was very strong and warm, which showed how many exorcisms and unimaginable battles she had gone through.

After shaking hands, her expression seemed to freeze for a moment, then she smiled as before and nodded: "Then I won't see you out."

Kotoko always used honorifics when she spoke, which made Yoshizaki Kawa feel embarrassed to use ordinary terms of address, so he also started to speak in a humble tone.

"Excuse me."

She smiled and shook her head, then said nothing more.

After watching Yoshizaki Kawa walk away, she calmly looked at her younger sister Makoto and said, "Makoto, get me a knife."

"what?"

Makoto was taken aback for a moment, but without thinking much about it, she walked to the bar and handed over a folding fruit knife.

Kotoko opened the fruit knife, calmly placed her left hand on the table, and pressed it down hard as Makoto went from confusion to terror to scream. Her little finger was instantly severed and fell to the side, its bright red blood blooming on the table like red wine.

Makoto's screams drew the attention of those around her. When they saw the woman calmly severing her little finger, the people quickly moved away, afraid that she would go crazy again.

Kotoko closed her eyes, recited a few words to the wound, and the bleeding stopped abruptly. Then she looked at her panicked sister and said calmly:

"Makoto, help me bandage my broken finger. I'll pick you up from the hospital later."

But just then, she seemed to sense something, her expression changed slightly, she pulled out the trash can, and spat a mouthful of blood into it.

"what!!"

Makoto was startled again, and quickly clutched her severed finger, asking in a panic, "Sister, what happened?"

She didn't answer her sister's question, but gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes becoming somewhat serious;

"You're still not willing to let go?"

"Looks like he's really holding a grudge!"

Just now, when she shook hands with Yoshizaki Kawa, she used her power in an attempt to enter his inner world and explore the matter of the curse.

But the moment it was touched, the curse, like a maggot clinging to a bone, cursed itself as well.

Knowing she was wrong for prying into other people's minds, she planned to cut off her finger to quell the curse, but the curse was not quelled; instead, she was severely injured.

Kotoko could vaguely sense that the great evil behind Yoshizaki Kawa was at least no less powerful than the Po-ma.

It's a tough job, and it might even cost me my life, but I need to maintain my balance, so I can't die right now.

Go investigate the situation. If the evil spirits behind them don't affect the balance, then I'll leave them alone for now.

If it causes problems and we have to fight to the death, we'll have to take care of Makoto then. It seems that facing death is not an easy thing.

Kotoko felt a pang of melancholy. Thinking of this, she stood up.

"Makoto, let's go to the hospital."

Makoto Higa is going crazy. Her older sister is still acting calm and collected, but just now you cut off your own finger and spat out such a big mouthful of blood!

Seemingly sensing Makoto's impatience and hesitation, Kotoko said gently, "Makoto, do you remember the first lesson I taught you?"

When she was a child, Makoto wanted to become a medium. He showed her the crisscrossing wounds on his back in an attempt to dissuade her from this idea.

But the next day, she cut her hand with a knife to prove her determination.
