The Curse That Must Be Erased

After calling the cursed boy, Hisagi finally met Okarun, a young man of average height, with a slim build, chestnut hair, and brown eyes framed by round glasses.

Okarun looked around, confused, wondering who this man in front of him was and why he had been urgently summoned.

"Who is he?" Okarun whispered to Momo, who was sitting beside him.

Momo glanced at Okarun and said, "I think he might be able to help you with your problem."

"Can you find my banana?" Okarun blurted out excitedly, wanting to embrace Hisagi in gratitude, but Momo quickly held him back.

Hisagi nodded slightly, feeling a bit out of place. He had never been asked to search for someone else's "banana," and hearing it phrased that way unsettled him a bit. "You can regain control, but you need to make a choice: do you want these powers to do good, or would you prefer them gone from your system?"

"My powers?"

Momo gently patted Okarun's shoulder. "You can take your time with this."

No one knew exactly what Hisagi intended for Okarun, but considering that Yuta also had a similar curse from a Yokai, Hisagi might be able to make use of Okarun's abilities.

"The Turbo Granny's curse… I suppose I'll need to eliminate her to return you to normal and free you from the curse," Hisagi said casually, mulling over the best approach for this task.

"Momo's grandma said it's impossible to get rid of Turbo Granny without dragging her out of her domain," Okarun remarked, adjusting his glasses. He felt somewhat skeptical of Hisagi, who didn't seem much older than them.

"Are you sure you're not underestimating Turbo Granny?" Momo looked suspiciously at Hisagi, who didn't seem particularly powerful.

Hisagi grinned at his young acquaintances and assured them, "I can handle Turbo Granny. I'll bring you back to your original state, and you might even gain some of the Yokai's power to fight cursed spirits."

Defeating the Yokai or simply forcing it back into the spirit world shouldn't be too hard. However, such work was usually the responsibility of spiritual agents, not a sorcerer like him, who specialized in Jujutsu.

"So, how do you plan to handle Okarun's hidden power safely?" Momo didn't want them to be left defenseless, especially with the threat of those aliens still looming.

Hisagi reached out and placed his hand on Okarun's forehead, channeling his spiritual energy as he murmured, "Your body is slowly fusing with the spiritual energy. This power is like a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. I just need to sever the link you have with that Yokai."

"Will it work?" Okarun's main concern was still his missing "banana."

"I think so…" Hisagi admitted, uncertain, though he was fairly sure it would be effective.
