11 | The King of Curses and the Queen of Poisons

     "Please be careful," Mister Ijichi said to the three 1st years. "I'm putting up the Veil."

Emerge from Darkness, that which is darker than black. Purify this impurity...

     "What?" Itadori asked as he leaned to see the Veil covering the area. "It's turning nighttime!" He commented.

     "That's the Veil," Fushiguro stated, correcting the perspective of how Itadori describes the thing that was covering the area. "We're very close to residential areas this time, so it's a barrier to conceal us from the outside world."

     "This is awesome!"

     "How ignorant," Nobara sighed.

Divine Dogs...

     Megumi summoned his shikigami, "As soon as the curse approaches, it will let us know." He said.

     "Oh, I see," Itadori nodded. "What a good boy! We'll be counting on you." He patted the dog's head.

Fushiguro opened the door as his divine dog was the first one to enter. They stopped as they saw the inside of Dorm 2: where the suspected curse was said to be lingering inside...

     "What is that?"

     "What's going on?"

     "Isn't this supposed to be a dormitory with two floors?" Itadori asked.

     "Calm down! This is a duplex building!" Nobara told Itadori, assuring him not to be scared of what's this place is.

     But Fushiguro knew what kind of place this is, 'No, it is not. This is an Innate Domain created by the curse. This is my first time seeing a domain so huge.' He thought. Then he turned around, "Where's the door?"

     "What?"

     "What?"

     "The door has disappeared!" Itadori shouted.

     "Why? Didn't we just enter there?" Nobara asked, teary-eyed. "(Name)-senpai! I want to call you, but it would be rude since you're also on a mission!"

     "That's right!"

     "Oh no, what should we do?" Nobara and Itadori chanted as they went into circles with their hands making their way upwards.

     "It will be fine," Fushiguro assured. "My Divine Dog can remember the scent of the entrance."

     "Oh, my~!" Both Nobara and Itadori awed. "Good boy! Let me feed you some jerky! Give me all the jerkies here!" They started to praise the shikigami of Fushiguro.

     "Come on! Be serious!" Fushiguro yelled.

     "Fushiguro, you're so reliable!" Itadori complimented.

     "What?"

     "With your help, we can save the remaining survivors as well ourselves!" Itadori explained.

     Truth is, Fushiguro was touched but decided not to say that he's touched, "Let's move."

The deeper they went to the dorm, the more places it appeared to be distorted due to the domain expansion of the Cursed Womb. Until they arrived in an area, where a dead body was found. Itadori ran to see who was that...

     "... How terrible," Nobara covered her mouth.

     "I guess it's safe to say that there are three more people alive," Fushiguro declared.
