The Goofy Spring Breeze Blows Everywhere, Geto's Sister is Truly Impressive Ch. 17

"Survival of the fittest—that's how the world works. Those kids are probably already dead. Tough luck. Maybe next time, they'll be born into a better life."

"...How can you say that?!" Haibara's eyes burned with anger. "We have to hold on to hope no matter what!"

"Oh—" Naoya sneered. "So, you wanna run in there and die for the sake of 'hope'? Makes you sound real noble."

Haibara looked like he was about to snap back, but Nanami placed a firm hand on his shoulder, stopping him.

Keeping his voice steady, Nanami said, "We're not strong enough to fight a Grade 1 or Semi-Special Grade cursed spirit. Sorry, but we can't stall for time. The best we can do... is get those kids out of there."

"Alright, alright, this is good enough." Auxiliary Manager Mr. Nakamura let out a breath. "As long as we can save the people inside, then at least—"

Before he could finish, everyone felt the intense cursed energy inside the [Curtain] suddenly burst like a popped balloon, dissipating at an unbelievable speed!

Everyone: "?"

Nanami narrowed his eyes. "What just happened?"

"Did it... revert back to Grade 2?" Naoya's expression showed a hint of interest.

Even the Auxiliary Manager was stunned.

Haibara clenched his fist. "No matter what, we have to go in."

"We're not sure what just happened, but maybe the downgrade is a good thing," the Auxiliary Manager wiped his sweat. "In any case... we're counting on you guys!"

What happened inside was actually quite simple—Chihori had fed the mutated cursed spirit a clove of garlic.

After hearing that a kid had just been eaten by the cursed spirit, Chihori quickly pulled out a piece of garlic from her waist pouch—something she had saved up using her sunlight points—and, with swift reflexes, tossed it straight into the spirit's gaping maw!

[Garlic]

[Description: A truly magical plant with a scent that instinctively repels cursed spirits. Additionally, it possesses a powerful effect—any cursed spirit or living creature that consumes it will experience intense vomiting. Duration varies, but the outcome is always the same: whatever they eat, they throw up.]

[Status: The first time you see it, you'll think it looks unusually wise. The second time... well, by then, it's probably already in someone's stomach, triggering a vomit fest. But don't worry—anything that eats this will vomit in a dazzling rainbow of colors.]

[Note: It's not an offensive item per se, but the impact is still considerable. Maybe it's useless. Maybe it's incredibly useful. Depends on how you use it.]

The cursed spirit, who had initially lunged at Chihori with killing intent, suddenly froze the moment the garlic slid down its throat. It was as if someone had hit the pause button on its entire existence.

A second later, the grotesque tentacled cursed spirit doubled over and began violently spewing rainbow-colored vomit all over the ground!

Its limbs (tentacles?), its wide-open mouth, the way its stomach convulsed—it looked like it was about to puke out its entire internal system.

Junpei stared blankly at the monster, watching in stunned silence as it vomited a shimmering, multicolored puddle onto the ground.

Chihori: Thank you, Garlic, for your stunning rainbow special effects.

Amidst the dazzling rainbow spectacle, the cursed spirit proceeded to throw up Moji, his two lackeys, and the chubby kid. The kids collapsed onto the ground, all unconscious.

Junpei, still weak and trembling, stumbled forward to check on his friend. "Moji...! Moji!"

After vomiting out the kids, the cursed spirit coughed twice—and then suddenly hacked up a severed finger!

As soon as the cursed spirit spit it out, its entire presence seemed to deflate. The overwhelming energy it once radiated disappeared instantly, leaving it as lifeless as a popped balloon.

The dislodged Sukuna's finger bounced a couple of times across the ground before landing near Chihori's feet.

Chihori blinked. Despite the fact that it was now covered in rainbow-colored slime, she still looked mildly disgusted as she wrapped it in a handkerchief and picked it up.

Special Grade Cursed Object—King of Curses, Sukuna's Finger.

The system gasped in shock. [...How the hell is this thing just casually lying around in a random little park!?]

Hearing this, Chihori frowned and spoke in a grave tone within her mind. [I see what's going on now.]

The system tensed up. [What?]

[This... is a blatant conspiracy.] Chihori stared at the rainbow-covered finger.

[...A conspiracy?]

[Yes.] Chihori said with absolute certainty. [Sending out a Sukuna's Finger to power up a cursed spirit, all in an attempt to stop me from building my strawberry milk empire—this is clearly the doing of the King of Curses... BLUEBERRY YOGURT*!]

The system: [...]

The system: [...Is there even the slightest chance—just a tiny possibility—that his name is actually Ryomen Sukuna*?]

Although both are "lmsn," it's really not Blueberry Yogurt*!

[Too bad. Times have changed. In this golden age, Strawberry Milk will inevitably triumph over Blueberry Yogurt!]

System: [...His name is Ryomen Sukuna*.]

Chihori: [Stop making excuses!]

System: [No, seriously, that's literally his actual name!!]

Stop twisting his name just because of some past-life Mandarin meme! This is not some epic battle between Blueberry Yogurt and Strawberry Milk!!

(Sukuna: ? How unlucky!)

*Note:

The King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna (两面宿傩 Liǎng miàn sù nuó)—due to Chinese pinyin input, "lmsn" often autocorrects to "Blueberry Yogurt (蓝莓酸奶 Lán méi suān nǎi), so he's also jokingly called "Blueberry Yogurt."

Also, because "傩" ('-na' from 'Sukuna 宿傩') looks similar to "瘫" (paralysis), he's sometimes called "Two-Faced Paralysis (两面宿瘫 Liǎng miàn sù tān)" or "Total Paralysis (全面瘫痪 Quánmiàn tānhuàn)" as a meme. Hahaha.

Chihori carefully rewrapped the half-torn talisman around Sukuna's finger, winding it back layer by layer. Then, without hesitation, she pulled out a whole garlic bulb and stuck the finger right into it.

System: [?]

One garlic bulb wasn't enough. Chihori pulled out another one, successfully burying the finger in a pile of garlic!

System: [What the heck are you doing, Chihori??]

[I'm covering up its aura so it doesn't attract more cursed spirits.] Chihori nodded seriously, looking completely legit. [Talisman plus garlic—double security.]
