Chapter 2: reoreoreoreo

"Don't be afraid, at least I can't do anything to you right now."

With Hayashizaki's words as a guide, Yukinoshita Yukino's blank mind started to think.

Is what he said true?

If it is true, can you really trust the words of a "thousand-year-old demon"?

And how did he end up on her? If he was really sealed inside her, who sealed such a dangerous being inside an ordinary high school girl?

Countless questions popped up one after another, but Yukinoshita Yukino's questions were destined to remain unanswered.

"Can I really trust you?" Yukinoshita Yukino said, biting her pale lips.

"Do you have any other choice?" Hayashizaki said casually.

"..." The girl was speechless, unable to say anything for a long time.

"Just do what you should do, pretend you have a split personality, and there's someone in your head to chat with."

"That's easy for you to say." 

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly, looking at the mirror where her face now had extra eyes and a mouth. 

"Can you get off my face? I can't go out like this."

"No, the view is best here."

Actually, Hayashizaki could share her senses without this method, but he refused. Staying in the realm of life was too boring, so he teased the cute girl to pass the time.

This guy is definitely doing it on purpose!

Hearing the playful tone in Hayashizaki's words, Yukinoshita Yukino bit her lip, feeling a wave of despair for her future.

Just thinking about having a thousand-year-old demon inside her while using the bathroom or taking a shower made her want to die.

Wait, if this guy is sealed inside her, maybe if she killed herself, he would die too...

"Don't think about it. Even if you take out your heart, I can give you a new one." 

Sensing her thoughts, Hayashizaki chuckled,

"You can try if you don't mind the pain."

"..."

"Alright, stop thinking about nonsense. Finish washing up and find something to eat, I'm hungry."

"Parasites need to eat too?" Yukinoshita Yukino mocked coldly, feeling a bit resigned.

"I'm talking about you, idiot."

As if to agree with Hayashizaki's words, the girl's stomach growled in protest.

Feeling a strong sense of defeat, Yukinoshita Yukino finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, then went to the open kitchen to make breakfast.

"You can cook?" 

Hayashizaki's voice came again, making the frying pan in the girl's hand tremble, almost spilling the fried egg.

"Can you not talk to me suddenly?"

"No, I'm bored. The realm of life is either blood or bones, I'm tired of it."

"You're really a thousand-year-old scumbag." 

Although she didn't know what the realm of life was, it didn't stop Yukinoshita Yukino from mocking him.

"I think 'beast' is more fitting." 

Hayashizaki didn't care, Yukinoshita was cursing Sukuna, what did it have to do with him?

"..."

"By the way, I still don't know what your name is, little girl?" 

He asked again, 

"I've answered all the questions you asked me truthfully."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't say anything, concentrating on making breakfast.

"Not going to say anything? I'm going to lick you if you don't."

In order to make her words more convincing, Hayashizaki opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue and started 

"reoreoreoreo".

Realizing that there was a tongue fluttering on her face, Yukinoshita Yukino hurriedly said, "...Yukinoshita Yukino, okay! Stop it now!"

"Wouldn't it have been better if it had been like this." Hayashizaki laughed.

"I can kind of see where you're going with this: you're trying to provoke me and then get me to kill you so you can trade one for the other with the king of curses who was so evil a thousand years ago, right?"

"Unfortunately, I don't know what the reason is, but I can neither directly hurt you nor forcefully take over and replace you, so I can only talk to you like I'm doing now."

Besides, how could a buddy, a three good young man who traveled through the world, and not a Ryoumen Sukuna, just kill someone?

Hayashizaki thought to himself.

However, maybe because his memories had merged with Sukuna's, he vaguely noticed that his personality had also changed a bit. Perhaps as his memories with Sukuna merged more deeply, the personality change would become more significant. He might even turn into another Ryoumen Sukuna under the influence of Sukuna's memories and cursed energy.

Fortunately, he was originally quite laid-back, so there wouldn't be any problems for now. At most, he had become a bit more cunning.

Just a little bit, really.

Yukinoshita Yukino pouted as her little scheme was exposed and brought the prepared breakfast to the table.

After finishing breakfast, it was almost time for class. Normally, she would already be in the classroom reading a book by now.

*Sigh*, let's take a day off today.

She sighed more this morning than she did in a whole week.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, it's me. I need to take a day off today, I'm really sorry... No, it's just a cold, don't worry. Thank you."

After calling the school to take a day off, Yukinoshita Yukino started to enjoy her breakfast.

Hayashizaki watched her eat. Even though he had taste buds, he didn't move his mouth, which felt strange. So he said,

"Give me some too."

"Don't joke around, you don't even have a human form."

"But I have a mouth."

"You want me to stuff food into my own face?"

"You can use your hand too."

The next second, Yukinoshita Yukino saw a mouth open on the back of her hand. It was clearly her hand, but the mouth seemed to lead to a deep esophagus, looking both strange and gross.

"No, it feels dirty."

She refused with a frown.

"Then I'll bite your chopsticks in half." 

Hayashizaki's voice came from the palm of Yukinoshita Yukino's right hand. 

"..."

What a king of curses, more like a king of rascals.

The girl made a disgusted face, hesitated, and picked up a piece of grilled saury with her chopsticks, placing it on the palm of her left hand. However, the expected feeling of fish touching her skin didn't happen. The small piece of saury was quickly eaten by Hayashizaki.

"It can really eat."

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned for a moment, then looked at her chopsticks and realized something. She quickly got up and threw the chopsticks that had been in Hayashizaki's mouth into the sink and grabbed a new pair.

"It's good," Hayashizaki praised.

"Of course, who do you think cooked this? It's almost an insult to let you eat it."

"Anyway, it all ends up in your stomach. The only difference is which mouth it goes through."

The food Hayashizaki ate ends up in my stomach?

Yukinoshita Yukino, holding new chopsticks, returned to the table and looked at her half-eaten breakfast. She suddenly lost her appetite and even felt a bit nauseous.

Sometimes knowing the truth doesn't bring happiness. If she had known, she wouldn't have been so sarcastic. Now, thinking about the saury that had been in someone else's saliva ending up in her stomach, she didn't want to eat anything for the rest of the day.

"Ring ring!"

At this moment, her phone rang. Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at the caller's name, and her already darkened face became even more displeased.

She sighed and answered the call,

"Hello, sister... Yes, it's just a cold. No! You don't need to come over, I'm fine by myself! Really, it's nothing. That's it, I'm hanging up."

After hanging up, the mentally exhausted Yukinoshita Yukino didn't even clean up the table. She took a book from the bookshelf in the living room and sat on the sofa to read,

"Please, don't bother me while I'm reading."

"Okay."

However, even though Hayashizaki quieted down, Yukinoshita Yukino, with her mind in turmoil, couldn't focus on her book. Not long after he agreed to be quiet, that annoying voice rang out again, but this time, his tone was a bit strange.

"Hey, girl, something's coming."
