The highly customizable full-dive game Jujutsu Oracle has finally opened its first beta. Tashikawa Hoshimi is invited to join as a beta tester, but an unexpected bug lets her discover that one invitation code can create multiple alternate accounts...
Tashikawa Hoshimi: "Why not stir up some trouble? I even made three alternate accounts just to dig up horse feed. It'd be a waste not to make a few more, right?"
Alternate account No. 1, built entirely for attack: "The King of Curses has a health bar now!! Charge, everyone!!!"
Alternate account No. 2, who rolled the heir to a great family from the start: "The maple leaves don't look red enough this year, do they? Then let's give those old geezers a taste of the Red Robe."
A tireless alt with a lucky cyberpunk skin: "What! An important NPC died? Let's test out my improved version of the Impure World Reincarnation technique! Three sections of lotus root to rebuild the body, clean and eco-friendly!! The flesh is weak, so let the machines ascend!!"
Alternate account No. 5, who successfully got into Jujutsu High: "I'm bored with nothing to do. Let's steal some Kikufuku from WTW and review which flavor tastes best!"
After Tashikawa Hoshimi puts tireless effort into causing trouble, causing trouble, and causing even more trouble, the sorcerers of the Big Three families learn to cooperate and benefit one another; the Time Vessel Association is renamed the Flying Spaghetti Monster Church; and all children with cursed techniques are sent to a military-family kindergarten to enjoy a happy childhood...
After beating the game, Tashikawa Hoshimi leaves this review on the feedback form: The gameplay is average, but the characters are pretty well written.

Later, the strongest sorcerer recalls his colleagues.
Friend A, who became a special-grade sorcerer through pure physical prowess, willingly turned himself into a lock and spent a thousand years inside the Prison Realm with the King of Curses.
Kindhearted Friend B, determined to change the jujutsu world from its roots, had no choice but to marry into a powerful household and wage a years-long political battle against the old geezers.
Friend C, who was supposed to study abroad, altered half his body into machinery to help his junior research the art of reviving the dead, using himself as a test subject.
And Friend D died in the prime of his life, but used the cursed energy he had left to help the strongest awaken the reverse cursed technique.

Later, when Fushiguro Megumi's generation enters Jujutsu High, the opening ceremony has become a visit to the memorial monument.
With tears in their eyes, the teachers point to the rows of names engraved on the monument and solemnly tell them:
There was once a generation of seniors like these. They were exceptionally gifted, with powerful techniques, and fought on the front lines to exterminate cursed spirits. They were diligent and hardworking, and created many cursed tools that are still in use today. They feared neither death nor sacrifice, and paved a road to the light with their blood.
We will never forget that the new jujutsu world was bought with the lives of countless predecessors.
Tashikawa Hoshimi, still playing alternate accounts in the game, stares at her IDs and laughs out loud. "What do you mean, dead? At worst, I lose a bit of experience. I even got to pick the dishes for my own funeral banquet. I'll use this place again for the next funeral."
Theme: Everyone deserves to be loved.
