24 | Relationship between "them"

*You might be wondering why is Nanami the most character I used as the favored character of (Name). Well, to the manga readers (including me), you know very well what happened to Nanami, yes?

But Nanami still have an ending at the end and it might surprise you, yes, it planned already since I know the fate of Nanami :')

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

As (Name) and Itadori were guiding the young Yoshino, Nanami was fighting Mahito from his point of view, risking his life to finish exorcise this curse. Slicing Mahito's controlled transfigured figures, Mahito, on the other hand, was enjoying this...

     "You're nimble," Mahito stated as he jumped above Nanami. Nanami immediately went away to Mahito as the curse summoned more transfigured figures as he tried to grab Nanami, 'This is fun.'

     'He changes the form of humans, but the mass remains the same?' Nanami asked himself. 'In any case, it's not compatible with my technique. Only Ms. Schoenheit's magic is very close to his cursed technique. Due to their same method, yet the distinct powers.'

     "Help."

     "What?" Nanami looked beneath him.

     "Help me." The transfigured was still alive and is begging for Nanami to help them, yet Ieiri's repeated in the blonde-haired's head, 'A transfigured human can't be saved. If you're being attacked, don't hesitate to kill them. This is for the sake of the victims, too.'

     "Oh, sorry!" Mahito apologized for all of the sudden. "I practiced it so many times. Disfiguration won't kill them instantly, but the accuracy of the brain or consciousness isn't good enough. Sometimes, sweat from the soul will ooze out of like this. Anyways, don't mind it, and let's continue."

     "I don't mind at all," Nanami told him as he wiped the tear of the transfigured away from his eyes. "I always keep my work and emotions separate."

     Mahito laughed, "You're bad at lying! Your soul is wavering." He remarked. "Let's see. What grade are you?"

     "Grade 1," he answered.

     "No wonder you're strong. Your body is perfect for experimentation. I'm so lucky," Mahito said. Rushing at Nanami with incredible speed and finally getting a hold of him, "Thank you."

Idle Transfiguration...

Nanami flinched and grunted as the effects of the cursed technique started to emerge, his whole body was shivering in pain. Taking the opportunity of the closed contact, Nanami raised his weapon and tried to attack it towards the curse, yet its reflexes were fast enough to dodge it...

     "Did the sudden speed increase scared you?" The Cursed Spirit mocked. "I can reshape my soul, too. A Jujutsu Sorcerer may have used cursed energy to protect their body, but they have never tried to protect their soul with it. Because to do so, you need the consciousness of your soul first. Otherwise, you can't protect it. But it seems like you're subconsciously guarding your soul with cursed energy. Therefore, you're my pawn now. But if I strike your soul a few more times, you won't be a human anymore!"

"A promise is always a promise," (Name) started a conversation between her and Nanami. "So, Nanami-san, if you promised something to me, can you take it to heart?"

"Why are you saying this?"

"Nothing, in particular, I just have a feeling you're a promise-breaker."

"You think?"

"Uh-huh... But ever since you saved my life when we get the finger of Sukuna, I feel like you'll be the one who'll I'll be able to be fully acquainted here in this world if I went back go Twisted Wonderland."

"Are you going home already?"

"I still have a lot of things left to do back in my world, so I need to get back as soon as possible..."

"Then, I'll promise you, be grateful. I'm only doing this for your sake."

"Really? You're cold, you know? But you're kind inside. Typical Tsundere, hehe."

Nanami ran to the sewer as he dodged the hand of Mahito, trying to escape and call reinforcements. He still promised her and there's a bound agreement between them...

     "I won't let you escape." Mahito declared and attacked Nanami, pushing him away from the exit. "Is that all, Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer? You tried so hard to escape. But you shouldn't be reaching your limits, right?"

     Nanami looked at his watch and removed his tie as his cursed energy strengthen, "Unfortunately..."

     'What the?' Mahito thought. 'His cursed energy is rising...'

     Nanami wrapped the tie on his right hand, "I'll start working overtime. I still had a woman to go back after I exorcise you."

"Why are you smiling?"

"Nothing, Nanami-san. You're a great man, the girl you've been wanting to marry must be so lucky to have you."

'It's you, (Name) Schoenheit.'

     "Fushiguro! Have you seen my uniform jacket?" Nobara asked.

     "No, I didn't see it."

     "That's strange, I knew I left it here." The brown-haired girl said. Then he saw Panda nearby. "Panda-senpai, did you see my uniform jacket?"

     "What? I didn't see it."

     "Is that so? I wonder where I meant!" Nobara said as she raised her hammer and smacked it towards Panda's face. With a knock-out bell ringing, "Hey, my skirt's missing too. This is the bottom line that can't be crossed!"

     "Mustard!" Inumaki entered but received a head smack from Nobara (she inherited from the Schoenheit). "Bonito flakes..."

     "This bunch of trash!" She said as she took off the skirt from Inumaki, but soon learned the skirt belonged to, "What? This is Maki-senpai's."

     "Good evening! I'm Kugisaki Nobara!" Gojo was wearing Nobara's skirt as Itadori laughed in the corner. "By the way, Yuuji-kun, I thought you're gonna take (Name)-chan's skirt."

     "(Name)-chan placed a magical seal in her wardrobe," Itadori explained as he sweatdropped.
