Chapter 20 - 19. Battle with curses.
Chapter 19
Evening of the same day, the occult club room.
It had long since gotten dark outside, and now the three of us were sitting at a table on which lay an object tightly wrapped in a strip of cloth with incomprehensible symbols on it. We did not turn on the overhead light, but instead used a lit candle as a source of light.
"Before you begin, I must warn you," I began, although it was obvious that I was saying this to ease my conscience and, in all fairness, I would take this finger away from them and wait for Megumi.
"About what?" Sasaki asked.
"This time you stumbled upon a real cursed object, and my conscience is literally screaming at me to take this thing away from you and give it to the right people, and I don't understand why I haven't done it yet." With every word that came out of my mouth, I realized that something was indeed wrong. I was just thinking about not letting Itadori become Sukuna's vessel, so why the hell didn't I try to stop them from removing the seal!
- Hahaha! Fischl-chan, are you really scared? Curses don't really exist! - Iguchi said, laughing along with Sasaki, who had already picked up the sealed finger.
- Stop! - I shouted, taking the item from the girl's hands with incredible speed.
- Wow! Now I believe in your words about speed. - Sasaki exclaimed in admiration, seeing how quickly I, having taken the item, found myself near the wall.
- Phew. - Exhaling to calm down a little, I removed the bandage using my inventory.
However, as soon as the information entered my brain, I realized that I had started to calm down too early. The seal on the finger, a dummy!
