Yuki's wish was beautiful, but she didn't have the strength to realize it.
In a sense, her desire to protect humanity from Cursed Spirits was a form of salvation.
Just like Emiya Kiritsugu and Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.
Kiritsugu, shaped by a painful past, longed for world peace. Amakusa Shirou, having witnessed the horrors of war, also wanted to save humanity through the Holy Grail.
If Yuki viewed the Holy Grail as an omnipotent wish-granting device, like in the Type-Moon world, she would definitely try to seize it and wish for a world without Cursed Spirits.
But in the end, it would still be a failure.
Because she lacked the power to protect the Holy Grail, and her method would only plunge the world into chaos.
According to her two proposed methods:
The first was to use Heavenly Restriction to make all of humanity evolve like Toji.
Theoretically possible, but practically, extremely difficult.
One problem was the need to expand the Cursed Energy System, which makes Heavenly Restriction possible, to the entire world.
In this world, Cursed Spirits and Jujutsu Sorcerers only appear in Japan under Tengen's barrier.
In foreign countries, the phenomena of Cursed Energy, Cursed Spirits, and Jujutsu Sorcerers are rare.
So, to apply Heavenly Restriction to all of humanity, Tengen's barrier would need to be expanded globally, enabling the Cursed Energy System to establish Heavenly Restrictions for everyone.
But is that even possible? Would foreign nations allow themselves to be covered by such a suspicious barrier?
Armed conflict would be unavoidable, and Yuki didn't have the military strength to go against the entire world.
Changing the physical makeup of all humanity through Heavenly Restriction would naturally lead to widespread chaos.
Power breeds ambition.
This path would certainly face heavy suppression from global governments, whose primary concern is maintaining stability.
The second method—letting all of humanity master Cursed Energy—was no different.
Once everyone could use Cursed Energy, the number of Jujutsu Sorcerers would explode.
And without the threat of Cursed Spirits, those Sorcerers would turn their weapons toward other humans.
This would inevitably shake the foundation of the existing world order.
And once someone like Satoru appeared, full-scale war could erupt.
After all, not everyone is as indifferent to power as Satoru.
Most men can't resist money, authority, and women.
On the other hand, there was also the issue of demographic impact.
If all of humanity could use Cursed Energy, the number of Jujutsu Sorcerers would surge.
If ordinary people gained that power and could resist them.
How would the powerful families maintain their wealth and status?
So, Yuki's plan was doomed from the start.
Because no matter which method she used, she would face pressure from the entire world.
"You don't have the power to fight the world. Not even Satoru can. Foreign countries just have fewer Jujutsu Sorcerers, not none."
Eichi's calm analysis pulled Suguru out of his initial shock.
Becoming an enemy of the world...
Just imagining it weighed heavily on Suguru's heart.
But in the face of Eichi's opposition, Yuki remained unfazed.
"Would you give up your goal just because it's difficult?"
She smiled as she looked at him.
...No.
Eichi couldn't lie to himself just to oppose her.
"See?"
She smiled happily.
"I used to be really lost."
Her gaze drifted into the distance.
"As a Star Plasma Vessel, I knew I'd eventually face that hopeless future, so I always cherished everything around me.
But I never expected my companions to die before me, killed by Cursed Spirits."
The loss of companions...
Eichi wasn't surprised by her story.
Being a Jujutsu Sorcerer has always been a high-risk profession.
You can earn a lot of money quickly, but only if you survive.
That's why many Sorcerers turn into Curse Users.
Afraid to fight Cursed Spirits, they target weaker ordinary people instead.
"One day, I suddenly thought, if Cursed Spirits disappeared from the world, wouldn't everything be better?"
"So you started researching how to eliminate Cursed Energy?"
"That's right."
"Actually, getting Toji to cooperate with your research is simple."
"Really? Tell me how."
Yuki's eyes lit up.
"How much do you have in savings?"
"You're charging me? Don't tell me you're short on cash?"
She looked a bit guilty.
Even as a Special Grade, she rarely took on exorcism missions.
And with her kind nature, she didn't do shady things like Curse Users to make money.
So she had just enough to live comfortably, but couldn't afford a large sum.
"Don't look at me. Without money, I really can't help you."
"Eh? Don't be like that. Help your big sister out, okay?"
Eichi's eye twitched.
"Begging me won't help. The money's for Toji, not for me."
"Ah, he's still short on money?"
She was surprised.
"Yeah. He hasn't taken missions in years, and he likes traveling. Of course he runs out of money."
"How much do I need to pay him to get him to cooperate?"
"Let me think. His last job earned him 1 billion yen in a few days. If you offer that, he'll definitely agree."
"How much?"
Her voice cracked, her expression looking like Kaveh's when seeing his debt.
"One billion. You're a Special Grade. Don't tell me you don't have that? Even setting Satoru aside, Suguru spent 500 million on Playful Cloud."
Suguru nodded nearby.
"Hahaha... I haven't taken missions in a while, you see. How about you two lend me some?"
"No."
"I refuse."
Eichi and Suguru rejected her in unison.
"What heartless brats."
Yuki was speechless.
"Want to work for me instead?"
Eichi offered.
