Trying to Raise the King of Curses

During the Heian period, Isuzu adopted a child with an inhuman appearance and named him A Nuo.

At first, he was afraid.

A Nuo's abnormal appearance was horrifying, but the child's innocent, adorable nature softened the terror considerably.

A Nuo was also very attached to him, clinging to him over everything. Isuzu thought, Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad to raise him like this.

Who could have known that ten years later, A Nuo would become the King of Curses, feared by all? He was cruel and bloodthirsty, believed himself superior to everyone, and cared nothing for human life or death.

The crowd forced Isuzu onto a platform to challenge the fabled King of Curses.

Naturally, his heart and guts were ripped out, and he met a bad ending.

Isuzu was furious, but thankfully, he could start his life over!

In the modern era, a thousand years later, he was the first to kick off a wave of reform in the jujutsu world. He rebuilt the schools, purged the corrupt atmosphere, and ushered in a flourishing new era of revolutionary spirit!

While researching historical records, he discovered that the once-terrifying King of Curses had been turned into a Special Grade cursed object, with each of his twenty fingers preserved separately.

Isuzu couldn't help laughing aloud.

In his spare time, he liked to grab his junior's hand and force-feed him all sorts of bizarre food as revenge. Through a series of misunderstandings, people came to believe he had a crush on him.

Isuzu tossed the houttuynia in his hand into the trash and reflected on his actions.

"Senpai... you..."

"Yuji, actually, I'm old enough to be your ancestor."

Here's a little plug for my upcoming new story, [A Heart Offered to Gojo Sensei], working title

Pairing: Gojo

A chaotic, ambiguous romance

The heart is offered in the literal, physical sense

A Tomie-like irresistible charm, with a timid, cowardly, easily frightened, but sharp-tongued personality (tentative)

After an operation, Tsugumi noticed that a number of ardent admirers had appeared around him.

They called themselves the Tsugumi Fan Club, and were madly in love with him, invading every corner of his life.

Raving about their creed, "Let's become one," they raised knives and stabbed at Tsugumi.

This went on for a long time. Tsugumi first called the police.

The young officer who came to take notes looked at Tsugumi with an increasingly fervent gaze, then confessed his love to him.

Abusing his authority to investigate Tsugumi's private information, he lurked at Tsugumi's front door, beneath streetlights, and outside his school. The young officer's shadowy figure was everywhere.

Tsugumi drew the curtains tight, fear in his eyes. He knew all too well that in less than a week, the young officer would become just like the others.

Until one day

A tall, handsome, white-haired man appeared and broke the deadlock. He took Tsugumi back to a dilapidated jujutsu school, where Tsugumi became his student.

His only condition was that Tsugumi never leave his side.

What Tsugumi had thought was salvation turned out to be an even deeper abyss.

"Sensei..."

On countless nights, amid blood and gore, Tsugumi felt his teacher's love as he was cut open and kissed. Was this happiness? Was this love?

Tsugumi didn't understand. If pain was proof of love, then his teacher definitely loved him.

"Kiss the heart, Tsugumi. It's the purest part of you." He cradled the still-beating heart, its strong, bloody taste filling their mouths as they kissed.

The stench of love, mingled with tears and blood, made Tsugumi retch.

Notes on interacting with Shiraharu Tsugumi:

1. Do not make eye contact with Tsugumi for more than ten seconds (if you do, you will definitely fall in love with him)

2. Do not be alone with Tsugumi (cramped, narrow spaces make your attraction to him grow even faster)

(This includes any enclosed space, whether you enter willingly or are forced to. If you cannot avoid it, close your eyes and shut out all five senses.)

3. If you find yourself wanting to protect Tsugumi or get close to him (these are early symptoms of infection),

within three to five weeks, this will develop into romantic love (intermediate symptoms).

Wanting to possess him, kill him, and become one with him (severe, irreversible progression)

4. If you notice anyone around you, male or female, showing the above symptoms, don't hesitate. Report it immediately. Trust that your teacher will take care of everything (catlike smile).

She snapped the notebook shut and sneered, muttering to her classmates, "What kind of peerless heartthrob? Who's so full of himself that he wrote an autobiography? I'll beat the crap out of him."

"If someone actually treats this trash as the truth, then I'd say this world is beyond saving," Tiger added.

But when her gaze accidentally fell upon the figure standing beneath the trees, a man as lovely as a spirit of the white birch, she finally understood what it meant to fall in love at first sight.

"I think I'm in love."

Their synchronization was like that of twins, and both their gazes were fixed on Tsugumi

The reliable Strongest Cat suddenly appeared!

He threw an arm around each of them and pulled them close, pinching his two precious students' cheeks. "Hey, hey, didn't you read the notes I handed out for free? You're not supposed to look Tsugumi in the eye. You'll fall in love with him."

His gaze shifted between Tsugumi and the crumpled notebook. He deliberately lowered his voice to threaten them: "You know what a succubus is, right? Tsugumi is more terrifying than one of those. If you fall in love with him, you'll find yourself unable to resist wanting to kill him."

"Huh???"

"What?!"

Could that really be true?!

Only Megumi, who had experienced firsthand how his mind was flooded with thoughts of possessing, devouring, and killing Tsugumi, stayed silent. Even now, he still didn't dare meet this senpai's eyes.

"You're badmouthing me again, Sensei."

Tsugumi looked at the new students in the distance, helpless at his teacher's mischievous habit of teasing them.

"No, I'm just stating the facts."

The bandages came loose, revealing pale blue eyes filled with a frenzied possessiveness.

"Everything about Tsugumi belongs to me alone. So naturally, I wrote those notes. Don't reject the sincere feelings of the person who loves you."

There he is!

The strongest carrier of Shiraharu Tsugumi's infection!

Well, it doesn't really matter. Sensei's infected too, after all.

Then let's go mad together.

Theme: Diligence can make up for a lack of talent; the early bird gets ahead.
