Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

My back doesn't hurt as much anymore, and I can breathe more easily.

He turned his head and saw Xigong Tao curled up asleep on the next bed, but her complexion was much better than before.

"Awake?" a female voice came from the side.

Yu Ren turned his head and saw a tall woman with fair skin, long, smooth brown hair, faint dark circles under her eyes, and a lazy and indifferent expression.

She wore a clean white doctor's coat, a dark blue turtleneck underneath, dark trousers, and simple flat shoes.

"Ieiri Glass?" Yuto asked tentatively upon seeing this.

"Do you know me?" Shoko Ieiri asked curiously.

After thinking for a moment, Yuuto replied:

"You're joking. Your name is renowned throughout the entire world of sorcery. And, quite by chance, I had the privilege of seeing your photograph."

Ieiri Glass didn't have much doubt about this reason.

After all, it wasn't that he was overly narcissistic; he was quite confident in his reputation.

Just like how everyone in the world of sorcery knows about Gojo Satoru, the strongest in modern times.

Currently, he is the only sorcerer who can perform reversal spells, a true miracle worker. Everyone knows him and understands him; surely he wouldn't want to stop treating illnesses now.

Chapter 16 Loans

Yuuto tried to sit up, but Ieiri Shoko pushed him back down.

"Don't move. I just finished treating you. You had two broken ribs, internal bleeding, and your back was so badly damaged. Anyone else would be dead by now."

At this point, Ieiri Shoko then asked her own question:

"What kind of medicine did you take? You're incredibly resilient."

Yuuto didn't answer, he just smiled.

I don't ask any questions even if I'm a rich man.

Wild sorcerers all have their own secrets; she's seen plenty of them.

She glanced at Xigong Tao and said, "Your partner is fine too, he'll wake up tomorrow."

Nishimiya Momo's face was still very pale, and her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she were having a bad dream.

But his breathing is steady, so he should be fine.

His main injury was psychological trauma, which neither his own quick-acting life-saving pills nor Iori Glass could treat, so he could only recover through rest.

Fortunately, Yuuto, who was under the influence of the Golden Light Mantra, caught her and used his own body as a buffer; otherwise, the problem would have been much more serious.

Suddenly, Yuuto remembered something.

He and Qiong agreed that he would finish the matter in a few hours at most and then reply to his message.

damn...

"How long was I unconscious?" Yuto asked Iiri Shoko.

Shoko Ieiri glanced at the watch on her wrist and said:

“It has been more than 10 hours since you started your mission in the early hours of the morning.”

Upon hearing this, Yuuto hurriedly fumbled for his phone.

It would have been better if I hadn't touched it, but when I did, I realized that my clothes had been changed and I was wearing a hospital gown.

"Here you go." Seeing this, Ieiri Shoko picked up her phone from the table and handed it to Yuuto.

“My clothes…” Yuuto looked at her in surprise.

It was during a week-long holiday, and the medical room was empty except for the resident Shoko Ieiri.

Shoko Ieiri rolled her eyes at him: "You're so young but so precocious. Even if you're eight years younger than me, you don't distinguish between men and women in front of a doctor."

Yu was speechless for a moment; he couldn't very well say that his experience was far richer than hers, could he?

After I took the phone and turned it on, the screen lit up, and sure enough, there were a bunch of messages.

The majority of the messages were from Qiong, with a small portion coming from lovers who hadn't been in contact for a while since someone started seriously exorcising cursed spirits.

Yuuto ignored everything else and focused solely on browsing the messages sent by Kyō.

"Brother, what time will you be back?"

"Breakfast is ready, waiting for you."

"Dinner is ready, waiting for you."

"Is it ready yet?"

"...Reply when you see this."

Yuuto's heart softened, and he typed a reply:

"It's nothing, there was a small problem with the mission, I won't be going back tonight, I'll be back tomorrow."

My phone vibrated less than ten seconds after I sent it.

"Are you injured?"

"No, it's just that there's a lot of finishing work."

"...You're lying."

"It's really nothing. Go to sleep early. When has your brother ever lied to you?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, then an emoji was sent back.

The rabbit nodding emoji that Qiong often uses.

Yu Ren smiled and put down his phone.

Ieiri Shoko watched this scene with a subtle expression:

"girlfriend?"

"younger sister."

"Oh." She gave him a meaningful look and didn't ask any more questions.

In the middle of the night, Nishimiya Momo woke up.

She opened her eyes and began to move her body, sitting up in bed and looking around.

She visibly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yuuto lying in the next hospital bed.

Just then, Yuuto's voice came from beside him. "Awake?"

Xi Gongtao was taken aback, only then realizing that he had been staring at her the whole time.

Her voice was still a little hoarse: "Are you alright?"

"Can't die."

As the two were talking, Nishimiya Momo suddenly remembered what she had done before she fainted and turned her face away:

"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want the mission to fail."

Yuuto simply looked at Nishimiya Momo with a smile and didn't say anything.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, falling on her profile. Her blonde hair was loose, and the earrings on her earlobes reflected the light slightly.

He's usually a very blunt guy, but he seems kind of cute right now.

“I know,” he said.

Xi Gongtao waited a few seconds, but when she didn't hear anything more, she couldn't help but turn around and look at him.

But they ended up meeting each other's gazes.

Her face flushed, and she turned back.

"What are you looking at..."

"Look at you."

Xi Gongtao choked.

Why is this person so direct?

Yuuto smiled slightly as he looked at the blush on her ears.

“Nishimiya,” Yuuto suddenly called her name.

"what?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to call out to you."

Xi Gongtao paused for a moment, then whispered a reply after a few seconds:

"Oh."

After saying that, she shrank back under the covers, leaving only half of her head and two bright red ears showing.

Yu Ren smiled, said nothing more, and opened the system panel.

Although the effort was enormous, the rewards were equally great, and Yuuto was very satisfied.
