Sadako's POV
To penetrate the barrier, we must traverse under the cover of night, navigating over the murmuring brook. This undertaking holds profound significance in the art of jujutsu.
With careful steps, the five of us cross the babbling stream, swiftly entering the oppressive realm of curses. There, we were confronted by the burrowing, mole-like cursed spirit.
"What's this?" Itadori's voice echoed through the gloom as they plunged into battle. A quick survey reveals Junpei's absence. "Strange... Where could he have vanished?"
"Where's the scaredy-cat?!" Kugisaki demands, dispatching yet another mole. Placing my palm on the earth, I sense a disturbance long dormant, stirring awake.
"Those girls... Unbelievable...." I muttered under my breath. "He's in another domain," I inform them getting up, prompting Fushiguro's incredulous response. "Two domains?!"
I confirm with a nod, as Itadori's worry for Junpei spills out.
Knowing Junpei carries a trace of my blood, I trust the girls recognized it, thus restraining their actions. If he struggles against a mere 55 third graders, his growth will stagnate.
"He'll be fine—"
*Crash* *Crash* *Crash*
A sudden intrusion, a foreign cursed spirit, or rather, a cursed user disrupts our domain.
"Someone got here before me?"
"Fushiguro, this one's a outsider, isn't it?" Itadori inquires. "Yes. You two handle that."
"Me and Inari will deal with this interloper." Amidst the confusion, Itadori steps forward to confront the new menace, leaving Fushiguro and Kugisaki to grapple with the curse within the domain.
"Huh? Since when was I lending a hand?" I shoot Itadori a puzzled glance. He scowls in response, and I can't help but grin. "You... you—," he stammers, feeling of betrayal evident on his face.
"It's all on you now," I declare, as he braces himself for the challenge ahead.
Suddenly, I found myself transported to Junpei's location, a power I wielded but could only exercise where my essence resonated.
"What's this?" My expression twisted in dismay as I beheld Junpei, sprawled and unconscious.
"Ma...Madam...?"
"Aa..." I attempted to maintain composure, yet the sight before me shattered any semblance of calm. My girls, once youthful and radiant, now lay battered and bloodied.
The cursed spirits stood before me, drenched in crimson, as though emerging from a pool of blood. Their forms cloaked in the macabre hue of death.
Their shrieks pierced the air, a cacophony of "Miss" and "Lady," accompanied by grotesque visages. "My girls..."
Tears streamed down my cheeks as I smiled through the anguish. "I've brought you flowers..."
The cursed beings, twisted and contorted, reached out to me with feeble arms, longing for contact. Without hesitation, I enveloped them in my embrace.
"I'm sorry... darlings, I'm so sorry..."
Their bloodied forms whimpered faintly. "We... missed you...."
With a snap of my fingers, I restored them to their true selves, half-a-century, young women, once mutilated corpses, now whole again.
"Maria... Akira... Namika..." Their names echoed softly as I called to each one, my voice trembling with emotion. They clung to me, weeping unabashedly. "Have you been waiting all this time?"
