Eldritch Horror, But I Fell for the Heavenly and Cursed Spirit

[The next story is now underway: I Got Bound to the Six Eyes by Mistake and Got Surrounded by a Love Triangle! If it sounds interesting, please add it to your favorites.]

[I've been a little busy lately, so the bonus chapters will be delayed for a few days. I promise I'll write them!]

[Here are two upcoming stories: The Six Eyes Bride Ran Away from Her Wedding! (A mid-length, melodramatic revenge story) and The Kegaku Victims' Alliance (A lighthearted slice-of-life story)]

After cosplaying and transmigrating twice, Jian Xue considers herself an old hand at this.

Bearing the identity of the Black Goat of the Woods, she gazes out at harmonious Tokyo, where curses roam the streets and sorcerers soar through the skies. Jian Xue decides to revisit the ordinary dreams she couldn't fulfill in the eldritch world of her previous life:

Buy a house! Buy a car!

Fall in love!

Get married! Have children!

But it seems her plans haven't quite kept pace with reality.

Looking at the child beside her calling her Mom, and the death certificate of her body's original husband's, Jian Xue is in tears.

An Outer God who has never even been in love is now a widow after becoming a mom without the pain of childbirth.

Her romantic plans are on the verge of going bankrupt.

Then one day, a curse attacks a cemetery.

Jian Xue, with Yuji in tow, and Toji, with Megumi, both leap into action at the same time.

The moment the curse vanishes, Jian Xue and the man meet each other's eyes.

One is a widow, the other a widower.

One desperately needs a babysitter, the other needs money and a place to live.

Their interests align, and the two get married at lightning speed.

But...

Watching Toji casually take up half the bed and go to sleep on their very first day, Jian Xue can't help feeling a little confused.

They aren't even in love, so why is he sleeping in her bed?

Toji will never forget.

When his young self was on the verge of death in a room crawling with curses, an evil gaze from across countless planes descended, sending a shiver through him.

From then on, amid chaos and madness, he swore to offer everything to that evil god.

Reader's note:

The heroine has been cosplaying the Black Goat of the Woods for a long time. Influenced by eldritch elements, she initially feels strongly inhuman, but later becomes more normal.

The Black Goat of the Woods, Shub-Niggurath, is an Outer God responsible for giving birth to life. Every living thing in the world is connected to it.

The heroine's desire for romance and marriage is also influenced by the Black Goat of the Woods' desire to reproduce.

A marriage-first, love-later romance, with a tiny bit of wish-fulfillment plot.

Here's a little preview of an upcoming story:

I Got Bound to the Six Eyes by Mistake and Got Surrounded by a Love Triangle!

A funny System binds the wrong Host

The day before the failing System Sakurako was due to be deleted, she received an SSS-rank mission.

Survive, and she lives. Fail, and she's eliminated.

Feeling like she was about to be carried off to her own grave, she opened the mission details and saw: Save a rebellious delinquent boy.

That's easy, right?

Newly motivated, Sakurako quickly found two possible targets based on the mission description.

A handsome, upright black-haired man VS a rebellious, outrageous white-haired one.

The answer couldn't be more obvious. Sakurako immediately picked the white-haired one.

After binding herself to the white-haired one, Sakurako's life was absolutely wonderful.

By day, she accompanied 5t5 as he got stronger and completed missions.

After 5t5 fell asleep at night, Sakurako secretly took on side jobs from Geto behind his back.

Trading with the black-haired man-bun at night meant Sakurako ate and drank well every day, and her happiness levels soared.

Then the black-haired man defected, and was about to join the Star Religious Group the next day.

Sakurako, who had suddenly received an elimination warning, stared blankly at her white-haired Host, who was happily fighting.

She pulled the mission back up and read it carefully from top to bottom. Only then did she finally notice the tiny line at the very bottom:

[Stop the mission target from joining the Star Religious Group in the future. Failure to stop him will result in immediate elimination.]

Sakurako: ...!

Help! Is it too late to get on her knees and beg Suguru Geto not to turn evil?

After being cut in half, 5t5 was reborn in his high school days at Jujutsu High.

The bad news: He'd gotten weaker.

The good news: He'd bound himself to a System that could help him regain his strength, and even surpass his former level.

To avoid the tragedy of his previous life, he devoted all his time to getting stronger. After training like mad, 5t5 figured he was just a little short of being able to beat Sukuna.

But at that crucial moment, when he was just a little short, his System ran away.

When he finally found his System, his foolish little companion was clinging to Geto and apologizing frantically.

"Host, that bastard with the Six Eyes tricked me into mistaking him for someone else. I may have gone down the wrong path, but I'll always be your golden finger. Please forgive me!"

Seeing his best friend, Geto's smile slowly faded.

"We really shouldn't join the Star Religious Group," Sakurako said, unaware of the danger. The moment she finished speaking, she felt a chill at the back of her neck.

Then she turned around and saw the white-haired Six Eyes user glaring at her.

Sakurako froze.

"H-H-Host, m-m-my lord."

"Tricked? Mistaken identity? Wrong path?"

5t5 smiled without a trace of humor.

Sakurako knew the Six Eyes well enough to feel her back grow cold.

Unfortunately, fate gave her no chance to make things right.

Geto's expression lost its gentleness, his gaze challenging.

"It's time to return what's mine, Satoru."

Theme: Love is great.
