A story about tormenting the old man, sparked by a sudden midnight idea.
I'm Saotome Mai, and my senior is Miwa Kasumi. I grew up in an orphanage, and because I could see some rather terrifying monsters, I was taken in as an apprentice.
My senior entered Kyoto Jujutsu High, while I entered Tokyo Jujutsu High. I thought I was just an ordinary Grade 3 jujutsu sorcerer: I had no cursed technique, my cursed energy was average, and I could only use Simple Domain. I couldn't compare with any of my classmates.
But Gojo-sensei, the strongest in the jujutsu world, was very interested in me. "Little Mai has an incredibly powerful technique! Even I can only get a tiny glimpse of it! You have tremendous potential!"
I was overjoyed, but I still couldn't awaken my technique. That was quite a problem. I seriously wondered if I'd never awaken it, even before I died.
Then a mistake by the Window led to Maki and me being assigned a Grade 3 mission that was actually Grade 1. I was ready to give up my life to buy Maki time to survive.
Just as my heart was pierced, a warm force spread through my body, and I was restored to my former self.
My technique had finally awakened!
A huge, monstrous, four-armed, two-faced demon god appeared! (Cursed spirit version!) Every cursed spirit there was instantly crushed to dust. Mystery solved: my technique was called [Ryomen Sukuna], the King of Curses from a thousand years ago. Turns out he's a jerk who loves taking advantage of people! (The cursed spirit only has instincts.)
Gojo-sensei was right: love is the most twisted curse. Other than Yuta, does this mean I'll become a warrior of pure love too?! No, no! I'm absolutely not a warrior of pure love! (Ryomen Sukuna: I'm the warrior of pure love!)
Great, a suspended death sentence is waving at me...
One sentence sums up the whole story: Since the Fire God couldn't protect you in the past, I'll protect you now!
The old man is hard to romance, so this story starts when he's four.
(This story's old man is still thoroughly cursed, but love is the most twisted curse. The blurb only makes it sound nicer. The cursed spirit born from the old man's curse is far more obsessive and unhinged than Rika. It's pure vinegar that's been fermenting for thousands of years.)
Theme: Love can overcome anything!
