Chapter 1 Dad, you're not dead yet...
A highly specialized sorcery school, on what should have been a peaceful and tranquil afternoon. But...
An alarm suddenly sounded within the college's protective barrier.
Shoko Iori, who was taking a nap: "..."
Those two idiots must have started fighting again.
She simply rolled over, covered her ears with the blanket—and went back to sleep.
She wasn't the only one who reacted similarly; in fact, most people reacted the same way.
If something like this had happened at the old Tokyo Vocational School, everyone would have been on high alert. But after Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suguru enrolled, everyone at the school had become accustomed to the occasional alarm blaring.
However, Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suke, who were playing games peacefully, were somewhat bewildered.
Gojo Satoru turned to look at Natsume Yuuki: "Yuuki, did your cursed spirit come out for a stroll by itself?"
Xia Youjie: "..."
He rolled his eyes at Gojo Satoru: "Did your brain go out for a stroll? How could that be?"
As he spoke, he put down the game controller and stood up.
"Looks like there's going to be some fun stuff." Gojo Satoru put down the controller, his eyes full of eagerness.
Xia Youjie was equally excited: "Let's go see what kind of guests they are."
Someone breaking into the college meant there was a fight to be had, and the two energetic teenagers were naturally very interested in it.
So, just when everyone thought the two troublemakers were up to their old tricks again, they found the intruder themselves—a pelican-like cursed spirit. In its mouth was a little girl who looked about four or five years old.
Xia Youjie frowned and raised his hand to release his cursed spirit to save the person, but Wu Tiao Wuyi reached out and pressed him down: "Don't be in such a hurry, Jie. Look carefully, she's not about to be eaten."
Xia Youjie: ?
Xia Youjie looked around and found that things seemed to be as Wutiao Wu had said. Rather than saying that the pelican spirit was opening its mouth to eat the child, it would be more accurate to say that it was opening its mouth to help the child crawl out of its mouth.
This situation seems rather strange, as if... the cursed spirit is obeying the child's commands.
This is a very familiar operation.
How could he not be familiar with it? Xia Youjie's technique is the Spell Manipulation Technique. Who could be more familiar with this kind of manipulation of spell spirits to do things for him?
Gojo Satoru took off his sunglasses as if he had seen something new and interesting.
He patted Xia Youjie on the shoulder: "Jie, I have something really interesting to tell you. That little brat over there, her spell is the same as yours."
The Spell Manipulation Technique—this technique is even rarer than the family techniques of their three founding families. After all, it had never existed before. But what did he discover now? A second Spell Manipulator.
Satoru Gojo: "You're no longer the only Pokémon Master in the world."
Xia Youjie: ...Is that the point?
He glanced at the little girl struggling to reach the ground with her short legs, and his initial urge to fight the intruder vanished completely. Unable to bear watching any longer, he went over to help.
Gojo Satoru, full of interest, followed along.
Because the other person had their back to them, the child didn't notice anyone approaching until the two of them got close.
Xia Youjie reached out and grabbed the child by the armpits, pulling her out of the pelican spirit's mouth.
Seemingly surprised by being suddenly picked up, the child turned her head to look back. Upon seeing Xia Youjie's face, the little girl's eyes widened suddenly.
Xia Youjie thought he had startled the person by suddenly making a move, so he put on a friendly smile and said, "Sorry, did I scare you?"
He was actually a little surprised, because he felt that the child looked somewhat familiar.
Xia Youjie put her down, squatted in front of her, and explained with a gentle smile, "I saw that you were having some trouble coming down alone, so I took the liberty of helping you. I'm sorry if I scared you."
The child ignored him and instead looked up at Gojo Satoru behind him.
Gojo Satoru confidently waved and said, "Hi~"
He didn't forget to mock Xia Youjie: "See, Jie, I told you your eyes were too small, they scared people, didn't they?"
Xia Youjie: "...You're not much better off, are you?"
Yes, the little girl was shocked when she saw him, and she was also shocked when she saw Gojo Satoru. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were two strange creatures who had landed on Earth.
Just as Xia Youjie was about to ask, Wu Tiaowu, stroking his chin, said, "Strange, kid, you look kind of familiar. Whose are you? Did you sneak out?"
The child didn't answer, but looked at Xia Youjie again, and then at Wutiao Wu.
He seemed to be questioning the meaning of life.
Finally, she spoke up and asked Gojo Satoru, "Gojo... Satoru?"
Gojo Satoru waved his hand casually: "Hey hey~ It's the real Gojo Satoru. Want to take a picture? You didn't sneak out just to come and have a competition with me, did you?"
Putting himself in the past, Gojo Satoru felt that the child in front of him was from a family of sorcerers he had never heard of before. He thought the child had been kept hidden away by his family and that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he sneaked out to find the legendary Six-Eyed Sorcerer to challenge him.
Yes, that's exactly what he used to do.
But things didn't seem to go as he thought. After confirming that she was Gojo Satoru, the child had a very complicated expression, and then... looked at Natsuyu Jie, who was squatting in front of her.
Xia Youjie gave the other party a gentle smile as always, and even took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am Xia Youjie."
Child:"……"
I know you are Xia Youjie.
The child looked at Xia Youjie in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then called out under the other's slightly puzzled gaze, "Dad... Dad."
Xia Youjie: ?
Gojo Satoru:?
For a moment, both of them experienced a mental lapse.
Gojo Satoru casually picked at his ear: "Wait a minute, Jai, my ears suddenly seem to be acting up. I think I heard her calling you 'Dad'?"
Xia Youjie: "..."
He suddenly had a bad feeling, because what he heard was the same as what Gojo Satoru had heard, and... he finally understood why the child looked familiar.
This nose, these lips...aren't they exactly the same as his?
His eyes and eyebrows look just like his mother's.
What's going on?
Before Xia Youjie could figure out what was going on, the child in front of him seemed to have finally found his father, and tears immediately streamed down his face: "Waaah... Daddy..."
Wu Tiao Wu looked at Xia Youjie: Not a brother, but your daughter!?
Xia Youjie's lips twitched: How old are you? How old am I? Do you think I'm capable of having such a big daughter?
Gojo Satoru, with a look of schadenfreude, said: Who knows?
Xia Youjie: ...
But the child in front of her was still crying, tears streaming down his face, crying and shouting things like, "Why did you shrink?", "I thought you were dead", "So you're not dead after all".
Xia Youjie, who is alive and well: ?
The child's tears, her cries for "Dad," and other strange messages, coupled with Gojo Satoru's gloating expression, left Xia Youjie completely bewildered.
He hesitated for a moment, then finally decided: no matter what, I should try to soothe the child first...
Karin Oriyuki, who was sobbing loudly, cried, "Waaaaah... I'm sorry, I didn't want to cry... but... hiccup, I can't help it, waaaaah..."
She genuinely felt quite sad.
She thought that when she came to the vocational high school, she would meet a badminton version of Gojo Satoru, or at the very least, the one with bandages on. So, the script she prepared for herself was that of Natsumi Yukichi's daughter, who had lost her father. She had already thought about what she would say when she met Gojo Satoru.
Who would have thought that she would meet the DK version of Wu Xia, the cult leader whose character in her script had died, who hadn't defected yet.
Karin Oriyuki: Waaaaah... My script... It's ruined like this...
──
Rewind to an hour earlier...
One second, Yuki Ayaka was at a comic convention, originally there as part of the scriptwriting team and with her club friends to participate in a stage play competition. But after only a short while in the waiting area, she bent down to adjust her dress, and when she looked up, she found herself in a completely different spot!?
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Okay, fine. As a prolific writer, she's not only read countless cosplay-themed novels, but she's also written some herself, so she's quite familiar with this kind of premise. But—who would have thought this would actually happen!
Even if you're cosplaying, there are so many cosplayers at the convention, including several well-known cosplayers from various groups right next to me. Why don't you ask them for help? Why are you asking me, someone who only creates content?!
Hmm... although she did seem to do some cosplay today. Even though it was forced, and not exactly proper cosplay, it was just that the club president, Matsuba Kayoko, wanted to mess with her.
Wait, there seems to be something wrong with this description...
But it seems there's no problem.
In short, their club president is a lolicon and shota-con. And As for Oriyuki Karin... although she hates to admit it, she does indeed fit the standard of a legal loli as defined by netizens.
So, even though I'm a member of the scriptwriting team and don't know anything about cosplay, I'm often dragged over by the club president, who calls it "playing with everyone."
We can still have fun together even if we don't cosplay!
Karin Oriyuki had long seen through this woman's true colors; she just wanted to satisfy her own fantasies!
But even if you see through it, it's useless. The other party always manages to control Yuki Aka and Karin, so...
So now it's a tragedy!
So the question is, what role does she play now?
A: The play their club is performing today is Jujutsu Kaisen, so she plays the role of Xia Youjie's daughter.
Then another question arises: there is no such person in the original work.
Yes, she wasn't in the original work, but there weren't any other loli-type characters in Jujutsu Gorilla that she could be portrayed, so Kayoko Matsuba used the excuse of "increasing the sense of group participation" to simply create a custom character for her.
You're asking about the specific settings?
Oh, no, after all, as a member of the scriptwriting team, Oriyuki Karin doesn't actually have to perform on stage like the cosplayers.
So she's just Xia Youjie's daughter, an empty shell with no real background whatsoever.
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
It's absolutely gorgeous, unbelievable!
Never mind how she got here; what matters is how she gets back, and—how she can survive in this world before she gets back.
With a slight stiffness, Ayaka Shiki turned her head to look at the shop window on the side of the road, and finally saw her current appearance inside.
The original black wig is now real, and the contact lenses provided by the cosplayer group, featuring the same style as Natsume's contact lenses, are also now real. The clothing and overall appearance remain the same, but...
Sure enough, she shrank!
Although I noticed the decline in my vision immediately after transmigrating and had a vague guess about what was going on, why did I really turn into a child?!
At this moment, Karin Origami estimates that she is at most one meter tall, tall enough to ride the bus for free. Judging from her age, she is probably only four or five years old.
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
This is amazing! Absolutely amazing! Not only did I transmigrate, but I also became a helpless child with no survival skills. There's really nothing better in the world.
Never mind, calm down.
Calm down, she needs to calm down and think about what to do first.
First of all, if nothing unexpected happens, she should have transmigrated into the Curse Returns, right?
Although it seems I didn't see the cursed spirit.
Wait, is she not a non-magician?
Um……
If you transmigrate into a cursed world but aren't a cursed sorcerer, isn't that a recipe for certain death?
Ayaka's emotions suddenly surged again.
Suddenly I really want to grab eight eggs and blow up the Tokyo Tower.
No, no, no, calm down, she needs to calm down.
Going back to the beginning, she most likely transmigrated into the world of Curse Return. Although there have been many cases of transmigrating to the wrong world in fanfiction over the years, she still needs to create her own character first.
First of all, she is now Xia Youjie's daughter, Xia Youya Huali.
And then, she's not a sorcerer...
Wait a minute, this doesn't make any sense. Xia Youjie's daughter couldn't possibly be a non-magician, right?
Just think about our Brother Jie. If he really had a girlfriend and they had a child, and then it turned out to be a "monkey," wouldn't he immediately turn his back on his family for the greater good?
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Oh no, I found that my persona didn't hold water right from the start.
“This doesn’t make sense. As Xia Youjie’s daughter who wasn’t killed, I should be a sorcerer…” As she was muttering to herself, Zhi Xueya suddenly noticed that the world in her eyes had changed, and one after another, dark and terrifying “monsters” appeared.
Everything around remained unchanged: the bustling crowds, the passing traffic, the roadside signs, the street vendors' shouts. Yet, out of nowhere, many "monsters" had appeared.
Ayaka Shiki's pupils contracted sharply, and she immediately lowered her head to avoid making eye contact with the "monsters".
That's... a cursed spirit!
As Yuki Ayaka's heart began to race, a wave of tension and fear washed over her.
She found that the cursed spirits depicted in anime were too considerate of the audience's emotions; this is what it means to truly make people's sanity drop drastically when watching.
The panic that had been temporarily ignored suddenly surged back into her heart, and Karin Ooyuki finally realized what a dangerous world she had entered.
Calm down, she needs to calm down, she must calm down and think of a solution, otherwise... she will definitely die.
That said, how did those cursed spirits suddenly appear?
No, wait a minute, rather than saying they suddenly appeared, it's more accurate to say... they were always there, but she suddenly became able to see them.
Why?
What happened in between that caused this change?
Thinking back for a moment, Karin realized: it seemed to be after she said that she should be a sorcerer.
Could it be that...
A note from the author:
----------------------
New article started!
Just a quick note here: this story was originally a crossover/curse-themed work, but after outlining it, I realized that wasn't conducive to connecting the stories, so I split it into two books. One is this one, "Open the Door! A Daughter Has Arrived," which mainly tells the story of curses. The other is "Whose Wrongful Daughter Is It Today?", which mainly tells the story of literature. Those interested can go and bookmark it.
The protagonist of both books is the same, but they were split into two books to avoid the two stories from interweaving and becoming disjointed, which would make the reading experience unpleasant.
I'm very happy to have met everyone in this book!
