Virtual Singers Don't Cast Curses

kokone, whose name means “heart's voice,” is a virtual songstress from VOCALOID, embodying “expressiveness that echoes within the heart.”

Born from people's prayers, this songstress sings of human emotions and desires, hoping to descend into the mortal world as a vessel for the gods

She is both a divine maiden and an electronic virtual being.

[Please, let me sing. I'll do anything for the chance.]

Another massive earthquake struck eastern Japan, devastating more than a dozen cities. People wailed in despair, and countless cursed spirits sprang from their negativity at an uncontrollable rate.

But on that very day, a song from an unknown source rang out above the city. It healed people's sorrow and gave them hope amid their suffering.

A huge shrine appeared out of nowhere, and the jujutsu world announced that they had discovered a living god in the spreading mountain range

The strongest trio of students from Jujutsu High went to investigate and brought the girl back with them.

“This is my cursed technique. I can control cursed spirits.” The Cursed Spirit Manipulator gently explained to the girl, whose gaze was full of curiosity.

“Control cursed spirits...” The brown-haired divine maiden mused, then asked with anticipation, “In that case, could you use me?”

Suguru: W-What?! Don't say weird things!

Kokone: I'm a songstress, after all. I only have a reason to exist if someone needs and uses me.

“Hey, I'll lend you this money for now, okay? If you can't pay me back, you can just work for me and help with my missions.” The white-haired strongest was extremely interested, and, unusually cooperative, welcomed the divine maiden into the Gojo household.

Kokone: W-Wait! I'm support staff! Have you got the wrong idea about sending me on missions?

“Not at all.” The white-haired student adjusted his sunglasses. “You support me on my missions. What's the problem?”

“So singing can heal wounds? This kind of reverse cursed technique is fascinating.” Shoko Ieiri was delighted that Jujutsu High had gained another non-combatant.

Kokone: Singing really isn't jujutsu! Why won't anyone believe me...? Also, I'm not a non-combatant!

I heal the wounded with song, and console the dead with song. Though my voice is formless, my blessings are eternal.

The heroine is a virtual songstress!!! You can read this even if you haven't heard her songs. Other songstresses may appear, like Miku.

Her “jujutsu” works by expressing a song's content through singing, amplifying, weakening, or disrupting its effects. Her healing ability is roughly like that of a support mage.

Reader's Guide:

1. The timeline starts at Jujutsu High.

2. Kokone's illustrator specializes in drawing characters with a divine-maiden aesthetic, which also influenced the character design here. This story uses that look, along with the songstress concept.

3. The V family song and MMD libraries are my daughter's family connections and backing. √

4. I don't know who the love interest is yet.
