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

If it can even cure the side effects of the Mythical Beast Amber, then it can probably cure anything except death.

The fawn lowered its eyes and crossed its arms over its chest.

This guy is sharp-tongued, but he does more than anyone else.

They charge ahead in fights and then heal everyone's wounds afterward.

She pouted, a hint of dissatisfaction creeping into her heart.

If everything has to be done by a child like this, the world of sorcery is doomed.

Chapter 178 Soul Connection

"What are you looking at?"

Without turning his head, Masahiro asked.

The little deer paused for a moment, then snorted softly, "Who's looking at you?"

"You've been staring at me for ages."

"I was just watching how you healed your injuries! I wanted to learn a couple of self-defense moves!"

"Mmm, I'll learn a couple of moves."

After Mashiro finished dealing with Fushiguro Megumi, she straightened up.

Her tone was flat and indifferent, but Xiaolu always felt that she was mocking her.

The fawn turned its face away, its ear tips turning slightly red.

Hoshiki Rascal stood by, watching Mashiro treat each of her injuries.

She only spoke after Mashiro finished processing the situation.

Aren't you tired?

Mashiro looked up at her and said, somewhat puzzled, "There are only a few people, you're not tired."

“I’m not talking about the consumption of magical power.” Xing Qiluo was silent for a while before saying, “I’m talking about how you have to take care of so many things all by yourself.”

Mashiro didn't answer immediately. She stood up and walked towards Maki and Mai, who were at the very back.

"I'm exhausted," she said casually. "So now I'm trying to find a way to get Gojo Satoru out. Once he's out, he'll be in charge of everything."

Maki sat at the very back, and the cut on her right shoulder had stopped bleeding.

Zhenyi sat next to her, the bandage on her arm hanging loosely.

"Maki, come here."

Maki stood up and walked to Mashiro, who reached out and placed her hand on Mashiro's shoulder.

The moment the cursed power entered, Mashiro's fingers stopped.

She sensed something.

Maki's soul has a thin line on its surface, extending from the depths of her soul and connecting in a certain direction.

The line glowed faintly in Mashiro's perception, yet it was quite conspicuous.

Mashiro followed the line and saw that the direction it was pointing seemed to be towards Maki.

Mashiro was silent for two seconds, then said, "Mai, come here too."

Mai paused for a moment, then stood up and walked to Mashiro.

Mashiro placed her hand on her forehead, feeling the same sensation.

Only when I felt the connection between their souls did I truly understand what it meant.

In the world of sorcery, twins are considered to be the same person and have a natural connection with each other.

This is a curse, this link, that makes both sides incomplete.

Maki is bound by heaven and curse but not completely, because the other end of the link possesses cursed power.

Mayi's construction technique consumes a huge amount of resources but can only construct extremely small things because of Maki's burden.

Two people together make up a complete person; when separated, neither is a complete entity.

Mashiro withdrew her hand, stood still, looked at the two sisters in front of her, and did not speak immediately.

Her expression was hidden by her wings, so it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

The deer also noticed that when Mashiro dealt with Maki and Mai, her movements were noticeably slower than when she dealt with others.

She tilted her head and didn't say anything.

She could tell that Mashiro had discovered something else in Maki and Mai.

Maki noticed Mashiro's silence and asked a question.

"what happened?"

"It's alright, you guys rest first."

After Mashiro finished speaking, she didn't touch the line for the time being, and instead focused on healing their respective injuries.

Late at night.

Kinji arranged accommodations for them in several cubicles behind the casino.

Mashiro sat down by the window, and moonlight streamed in from the ventilation vents above, falling on her.

Xiao Lu shared a room with her, and perhaps because she had slept for a while earlier, she wasn't sleepy now.

She lay on her side on the bed, with the iron bar within easy reach.

With her eyes half-open, she peeked through her eyelashes at Mashiro's back as she sat by the window.

The moonlight shone on her white hair, which fluttered gently in the breeze, captivating the little deer.

She hesitated for a moment, then turned over and pretended to be fast asleep.

Mashiro glanced back at her small, curled-up figure, then turned back to continue looking out the window.

She was thinking about the soul connection between Maki and Mai.

In the original story, Maki only becomes the complete form after Mai dies.

She severed that link through non-action, which should allow both of them to become complete.

But she had never done such a thing before, and no one knew the consequences.

She sighed, walked to her bed, and lay down.

The fawn was on her right, breathing evenly, its eyelashes fluttering slightly.

"That's the mindset of the weak..."

Mashiro smiled at the deer and said softly.

She decided to tell Maki and Mai tomorrow.

The next morning, sunlight illuminated the room somewhat, and dust particles floated slowly in the sunlight.

Mashiro called Maki and Mai to the innermost cubicle, while Itadori and the others waited outside.

“You two are twins. I felt the connection between your souls during the therapy yesterday.”

Mashiro cut to the chase. Maki and Mai were sitting opposite her, both looking at her.

"Soul Link?"

"Yes."

Mashiro paused for a moment, then continued, "This link makes neither of you complete, so it's very difficult for you to improve your strength."

Although Mayi's apparent inaction was also a reason, Mashiro didn't mention it.

Mayi's fingers clenched the fabric on her knees, and she looked somewhat nervous.

“I can sever this link with a spell. After it is severed, you will all become complete.”

The air was silent for a few seconds before Maki asked, "So, what is the price?"

"I don't know." Mashiro didn't say anything nice. "This is the first time I've done something like this, and I don't know what will happen."

Maki thought for a moment, then turned to look at Mai.

"Are you willing?"

Mai was taken aback; she thought Maki would agree immediately.

After all, Maki always wanted to become stronger, no matter how difficult it was.

But this time, Maki was asking for her opinion.

Mayi looked at Maki with a look of reminiscence in her eyes.

She thought of her childhood, when Maki had led her forward in the same way when she was fearful and timid.

She understood that she had been holding Maki back because Maki didn't want to become stronger.

But now...

Zhenyi bit her lip; she wanted to change.

Whether it's ability or connections...

"I...am willing."

Zhenyi's voice was a little soft, but it carried a firmness she hadn't shown before.

Maki nodded, then turned back to look at Mashiro: "Come on."

Mashiro had them sit facing each other and placed her hands on their foreheads.

The power of the spell seeped into his palm, following the lines of his soul to find the luminous thread.

Mashiro carefully touched the line, trying to feel its properties.

She took a deep breath, her palms sweating slightly: "It might hurt a little, just bear with it."

Then she made her move; the magical power of non-action condensed into scissors, and she cut right down the middle of the line.
