Curse Return: Demon Void Girl Doesn't Want to Be a Weakling

After leaving the Kyoto school, the three headed towards Kiyomizu-dera Temple according to Kugizaki's itinerary.

Holding his phone for navigation, Kugizaki walked at the front with an excited expression.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple is a must-visit place in Kyoto!

"Yes, yes, yes."

Mashiro walked lazily in the middle, her steps dragging.

The little deer followed behind Mashiro, looking around with curiosity about everything.

Along the way, the number of tourists visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple increased, and the mountain road was lined with stalls selling amulets and souvenirs.

Kugizaki's eyes lit up, and he bought a whole bunch of things, saying they were souvenirs for them.

While Mashiro was still wondering whether she should buy some souvenirs for them, Kugizaki had already moved to another spot.

"Mashiro! Deer! Let's go draw lots!"

Without saying a word, she led the two of them to the place where they could draw lots.

Kugizaki was the first to shake the lottery tube.

"Splash splash."

The sound came, and Kugizaki took out a slip of paper.

"Great luck!"

Her eyes lit up when she saw the words, and she exclaimed excitedly, "It really is a good omen!"

Congratulations!

Mashiro clapped her hands perfunctorily.

Little Deer also shook a cigarette, glanced down at it, and saw that it said "Zhongji" (中吉).

Her expression was rather indifferent. "It's alright, it's good enough."

"Your turn, Mashiro!"

Kugizaki shoved the lottery tube into Mashiro's hand.

Mashiro casually shook her hand.

"Splash splash."

She stared at the slip of paper that had fallen out, and a wave of silence washed over her.

"What? What?"

Kugizaki came closer, and even the little deer looked at her curiously.

"Very bad luck."

Mashiro said expressionlessly.

"Pfft, really?"

Kugizaki couldn't help but laugh out loud, "So, there really are people who draw the worst lottery numbers?"

"It doesn't matter."

Mashiro gritted her teeth, casually grabbed the fortune slip, and said, "It's just a fortune slip; it can't possibly curse me to death, can it?"

As she spoke, she walked to the side and tied the stick to the wooden frame where the sticks were hung.

"What are you doing?"

"Isn't it said that if you tie the ominous sign here, the bad luck will stay?"

Mashiro spoke, recalling the knowledge she had gained from the anime.

She felt a little uneasy. Had she done something wrong?

Even if she made a mistake, it's not her fault; it's the problem with the Japanese animation industry.

Standing to the side, the little deer watched Mashiro's slightly awkward movements, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.

After drawing their fortunes, the three of them went up to the famous Kiyomizu Stage.

Standing on the stage, one can take in the scenery around Kiyomizu-dera Temple, with its verdant mountains and continuous beautiful views.

"So beautiful."

Kugizaki took a deep breath and opened his arms. "The air is so fresh."

The little deer leaned against the railing, looking at the Kiyomizu Stage, and said softly, "The Kiyomizu Stage is still the Kiyomizu Stage."

"Is there anything familiar?"

"That's what Mashiro said."

"Yeah, it's no different from the Shimizu Stage I performed back then."

Little Deer nodded and said, "There are just too many people."

"Come on, let's take a group photo!"

Kugizaki raised his phone and pulled the two of them over.

The three of them huddled together, facing the camera.

"eggplant--"

"Click."

After taking the photos, Mashiro leaned lazily against the railing and suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, thinking about the Shimizu Stage means you have to jump off, right?"

"yes."

Kugizaki didn't quite understand, but nodded subconsciously. "It means to forge ahead without leaving any way back."

"I see."

Mashiro nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

"etc!"

Kugizaki immediately realized what was happening, his expression changing. "You wouldn't be thinking of..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mashiro flipped over the railing.

"Hello!"

Kugizaki immediately reached out to grab Mashiro.

Why did you pull her?

The little deer looked at Kugizaki with a puzzled expression. "With her strength, how could she possibly get injured?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Mashiro who had jumped down and licked her lips.

Then she jumped down as well.

"They're all acting so recklessly!"

Kugizaki gritted her teeth and said that she looked down at the more than ten meters below her feet, closed her eyes, and jumped down herself.

"Someone jumped!"

Tourists nearby gasped in amazement at the rare sight of the triple jump.

"What? You're saying all three of them jumped together?"

The safety officer next to him was sweating profusely. He was just scrolling on his phone and letting the tourists watch on their own. What era are we living in? There are still people doing things like jumping off a clear water stage!

Before she finished speaking, Mashiro had already landed steadily on the ground below the Kiyomizu stage.

She stood firmly on the ground, without even swaying, and casually brushed the dust off the corner of her clothes.

"Phew, the breeze feels nice."

Immediately afterwards, the deer landed lightly and stood steadily next to Mashiro, looking as if it hadn't had enough.

She licked her lips and looked up at the high stage behind her: "So this is what it feels like to jump down."

Finally, there's Kugizaki.

She jumped with her eyes closed, and landed with a thud, staggering several steps before managing to steady herself by grabbing onto a nearby tree.

"Huff...huff, you two lunatics."

She leaned against the tree trunk, slightly out of breath. It wasn't from the exhaustion of her magical power; she was simply feeling weak in the legs.

"How was it? Pretty exciting, huh?"

Mashiro leaned closer with a smile.

"You're kidding me!"

Kugizaki straightened up, glared at her, and said, "You guys, none of you can even let someone finish speaking!"

"What does it matter?"

Mashiro shrugged. "It doesn't matter, just forget about it. It's nothing anyway."

"That's right, that's right."

Xiao Lu chimed in, "Even if you can follow the rules and not dance when you come to the Qingshui Stage, that's the mindset of a weak person."

"You guys..."

Kugizaki rolled her eyes; she was speechless at the two of them.

"Isn't this just to experience it?"

Mashiro said with a smile.

"Experience my ass!"

The little deer ran beside them, listening to the two bickering, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You're still laughing!"

Kugizaki glared at her immediately upon hearing the laughter.

Time ticked by, and the shouts behind them gradually faded into the distance, eventually disappearing into the woods.

The three of them walked around to the other side of the mountain path before stopping.

"Finally, I've shaken them off..."

Kugizaki, supporting himself on his knees and panting heavily, said, "I'm never jumping again."

"See how exciting that is?"

Mashiro, on the other hand, didn't blush or pant, and even gave her a thumbs up.

Don't compare me to you.

Kugizaki gave her a listless glare.

And so, the three of them, covered in dust and dirt (actually only Kugizaki), slunk away from Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

The sky was gradually darkening.

"Next, let's go to Nijo Castle!"

Kugizaki's interest remained undiminished, as if his earlier attempt to jump off the building was merely a minor incident.

Are you sure you have enough time?

Mashiro looked at her with a mixture of belief and doubt.

"Enough! Definitely enough!"

Kugizaki said with absolute certainty.

As a result, by the time they arrived at Nijo Castle, the place was already preparing to close.

"..."

Kugizaki stood in front of the tightly closed door, his face dark. "Wasn't it supposed to be open until night?"
