"I really don't like cutting down humans." Sachiko said with a sigh as she cut down another curse.

"Neither do I" Nanami agreed.

"Isn't it time to come out now?" Nanami finally asked after cutting down a few more curses.

A cursed spirit that really resemled humans came out and when he only saw Nanami and Sachiko, he said, "Wow, I'm glad. If Gojo Satoru was here, I would be troubled. But if someone too weak comes, I can't have my experiment."

"I don't like working overtime, so let's finish this up quickly." Nanami said.

"Okay." Sachiko replied.

Nanani then charged towards Mahito with his knife. Sachiko conjured an arrow using her cursed energy. "I haven't practiced with arrows that much so pardon me if my skills are too poor~" She said with a light chuckle, then shot two arrows towards Mahito.

'These arrows were made with cursed energy? They're fast.' Mahito thought as he dodged the arrows and Nanami's attacks.

"You dodged? Okay, I'll just shoot more arrows." Sachiko sighed as she shot ten arrows towards Mahito.

Meanwhile, Nanami was fighting close combat with Mahito so Mahito had to dodge the arrows while dodging Nanami's attacks. Mahito could only dodge nine arrows and one penetrated its chest. As the arrow penetrated its chest, the cursed energy flowed into Mahito's body making him extremely numb. The amount of cursed energy in arrows wasn't enough to make Mahito explode but Sachiko expected that. Since Namami was fighting with the curse close combat, she didn't think it was a good idea to concentrate too much cursed energy in one arrow. She still didn't know what kind of cursed technique Mahito had, after all. It would be troublesome if Nanami got injured because of her.

Nanani took the chance and used his cursed technique to ratio cut Mahito. Mahito covered its chest with its arms and one of the arms got cut off.

However, Mahito looked unfazed by it as he said, "You Jujutsu sorcerers don't get it, do you? As long as I preserve the shape of my soul, my body can be any shape. See? I'm not healing myself." The arm which was cut off by Nanami grew back.

"So you're saying you won't be actually injured as long as you preserve your soul? Can you also change your body by reshaping your soul?" Sachiko asked.

"Haha. So you get it? I'll ask you a question. Is the body hosted within the soul or is the soul enveloping the body?" Mahito asked Sachiko.

"I don't know much about souls but judging by the way you ask, the answer should be the latter? Since you said soul is more important than your body." Sachiko replied.

Mahito just laughed and charged towards her. Sachiko dodged swiftly but Mahito pulled out a shrunken doll which was even smaller than  a fist size.

"So, you stock humans now?" Sachiko said, disgusted.

"Why? Feel so hurt now? Jujutsu sorcerer" Mahito asked as he put cursed energy into those and made them attack her.

"I seperate my emotions while dealing with curses like you."

"Come on. We both know it's a lie. You feel sad for them, don't you? Don't you also feel guilty?"

"You plan to guilt trip me. Sorry but that's not gonna work. You're the one who turned them into these things and not me. So, I don't think I'm guilty for their death. But, of course, I will feel sorry for them after this." Sachiko replied.

Sachiko then discarded the bow and conjured a katana with cursed energy. She also tried to sense the cursed energy in Mahito's body but she couldn't quite understand how it worked. She could see how it flowed but there was like a piece missing that she couldn't put a finger on it.
