Yamata No Orochi Is the True King of Curses

[Haven't written in so long that I've run out of inspiration. Putting this aside for now.]

Nanami never imagined that on his very first day back in the Jujutsu world, a senior would greet him with a huge surprise:

"Yamata no Orochi! You're going to be Nanami's coworker from now on!"

Nanami: Thanks, but this is completely not the kind of surprise I wanted!

The legendary Yamata no Orochi had only just been reincarnated into a human body when the strongest white-haired sorcerer of the modern era caught her.

"Want to work at Jujutsu High? Food, lodging, and a salary included." Then he cheerfully added, "If you refuse, I'll just have to exorcise you."

Yamata no Orochi: ...Once I find my sword, you're the first one I'm cutting down! Even Sukuna will have to wait his turn!

The unfortunate Yamata no Orochi is forced to sign a "work contract" with the white-haired Six Eyes user. In exchange, he'll help her recover her lost power.

Asked how she died, the great yokai, who called herself Hebiki Miyuki, thought for a moment. "I went to sleep, and when I woke up, I found out I was dead. It happened just a few minutes before you died."

That's right, she only found out she was dead after coming back to life.

The white-haired Six Eyes user gave her a thumbs-up. "You sure slept soundly."

A long time later, the white-haired Six Eyes user and Hebiki Miyuki are arguing about whether someone is alive.

"He's still alive!"

"He's dead."

"Alive!"

"Why do you insist he's alive?"

"Obviously! If he weren't alive, who would beat the dead guy?!"

When the Hero Is Reborn into the Zenin Clan

Sailu, who saved the world with her companions, made a wish to the world's consciousness: "I want a chance to change class and become a grand summoner!"

When she opened her eyes again, Sailu discovered she'd been born anew as a baby girl named Zenin Sailu in another world.

Sailu: ...

I wanted to change class, not be reincarnated!

=

When Sailu was five, her innate technique awakened.

"Sailu, what's your technique?"

"Summoner! From the shadows!"

The Zenin clan rejoiced: The heavens have finally smiled on us. Does this mean our clan has the Ten Shadows Technique?!

Then Sailu reached into her shadow and pulled out a greatsword taller than she was.

Sailu: "Look! This is my Arondight!"

Everyone: ???

Arondight, Nightmare, Fenrir, Michael, Nidhogg, Leviathan, the Lady of the Lake...

Why do her shikigami all have such strange names? Is this really the Ten Shadows Technique?!

Someone came back after looking it up: All these names belong to world-destroying fantasy creatures from Western mythology...

The Zenin clan: ...What's strange about that? This is the new era of our clan's Ten Shadows Technique!

=

Reality and imagination were worlds apart, but at least her wish had come true, and Sailu had become a summoner.

Gradually, though, Sailu realized that things in this family were awful: they worshiped strength above all else and looked down on the weak.

In her country, people would be tried and erased for such extremism!

The lessons she'd learned growing up convinced Sailu that she had to reform, no, save this family that had rotted from the roots up.

"My clan members are my subjects. As their heir, it is my duty to let them live in peace and prosperity. I hereby appoint you a knight, and permit you to fight by my side."

"Sure, sure." Toji squinted and gave the little girl in front of him a thoroughly half-hearted response. "Now, Your Highness, it's time for your milk."

"Oh."

Years later, could anyone have imagined that the Zenin clan, a den of feudalism and corruption, would be hailed as a moral paragon of the new era?!

The Zenin clan: ...We did it willingly.

But it wasn't long before Sailu realized the Zenin clan wasn't the only thing wrong with the world. And so she set out once more to find her companions and save the world.

The Six Eyes prodigy next door. Want to team up, childhood friend?

A rare user of reverse cursed technique and a Cursed Spirit Manipulation user are enrolling at Jujutsu High? Classmates, want to join the faith, I mean, become heroes?

Lord 'King of the Sheep,' are you still worried about your people's happiness?

Hm? There's someone in the river! Hurry and pull them out!

Later on...

Those who were paid to do nothing were purged one by one, the appointment system for the higher-ups was rewritten, and the laws were redrafted. At last, the Jujutsu world entered the long overdue 'modern society.'

"Sailu, what do you think the ending of a hero's story should be?"

"Obviously: finish this job, then go home and get married!"

"...?"

"Don't jinx it!"
