You Sorcerers Can't Do This

A handsome white-haired guy hit on me. He told me his name was 5t5 and that he was a jujutsu sorcerer, someone whose job was to exorcise curses. Yeah, right. Who'd believe something that sounded like it came straight out of a cringey fantasy plot? Then I looked through the glasses he gave me and actually saw curses. He also said I had an exceptional talent and that the jujutsu world couldn't do without me. To win me over (x), he bought the company I worked for. Yeah, right. A guy who's almost thirty, acting out some childish CEO-falls-in-love-with-me fantasy? I would never... I gave in, because he was offering way too much. Later, a man dressed like a monk, with a seam on his head, came to find me. He said his name was xyj, that I had an exceptional talent, and that the jujutsu world couldn't do without me. I asked if he was going to buy my company to win me over too. His expression seemed to freeze for a moment before he asked why I would say that. I told him that a guy named 5t5 had done exactly that. As soon as I finished speaking, he knocked me out. How can someone want me but not spend any money on me?! (x) When I woke up, I was trapped. The monk who'd said I had an exceptional talent kept asking whether I really couldn't see curses. I told him I could only see them through the glasses. He fell silent for a while, then suddenly changed his expression and said there was no point in letting a useless person stay in this world. I thought I was about to be killed, but then I regained consciousness. As my vision gradually cleared, I saw two heads, one black and one white. The black-haired one no longer had a seam on his head, and the white-haired one looked strange too. I had no idea what had happened, but I still took the initiative and called out their names. Unexpectedly, the two exchanged a look and asked in unison, "Do we know each other?" I knew just what to say: "Of course! Didn't you both want to win me over?" The air went quiet for about ten seconds. 5t5: "Geto, forget about her. I think there's something wrong with her head." xyj: "Gojo, we can't just turn our backs on someone who needs help." I stared blankly as the person who had apparently killed me held out a helping hand.
