In a beautiful seaside town, Kento Nanami and Yu Haibara were on a mission together after a long time.
This was a cursed incident with severe repercussions.
The incident had resulted in several high school students committing suicide and over 20 high school students suffering mental breakdowns.
According to psychiatrists, these individuals' minds had been completely destroyed.
And as time passed, they would develop increasingly strong self-destructive tendencies.
Thus, Jujutsu Headquarters assigned the mission to the Tokyo Branch.
After discussion, the Tokyo Branch decided that the mature and reliable salaryman, Nanami, would conduct the investigation.
"Please have some tea."
"Thank you."
Kento Nanami picked up the teacup, took a sip, and seeing that the girl in front of him was no longer nervous, said,
"I am Kento Nanami of the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Investigation Unit. This is my identification. Could you please tell me the story of the incident again?"
It seemed Kento Nanami's calm demeanor had a calming effect on Reiko.
A hidden story slowly unfolded from Reiko's lips...
Teacher Takagi was in a state of panic.
But he still feigned composure and called the person who had suddenly appeared in the classroom—the one who shouldn't have existed—to his office.
During the brief wait, Teacher Takagi tried hard to suppress the most likely guess in his heart.
He constantly tried to explain everything that had just happened with other possibilities.
Until an incredibly beautiful girl walked into the office.
She was a tall, vibrant girl.
Even though she was only wearing a school uniform, one could feel a deadly allure on her that did not belong to a student.
This captivating charm was almost demonic.
'Impossible, absolutely impossible. She clearly already...'
Gulp.
Teacher Takagi couldn't help but swallow.
"Tell me, who exactly are you?"
Forcing down the panic in his heart, Teacher Takagi spoke in as serious a tone as possible.
He hoped to use the behavior that usually made students most flustered to force the girl in front of him to reveal a flaw.
"I am me, Teacher."
The girl, wearing the school's uniform and a hairband, flashed a lively, girlish smile at her homeroom teacher.
This familiar smile intensified the panic in Teacher Takagi's heart.
"Stop messing around. Everyone knows Tomie is dead. Are you Tomie's sister, like a twin?"
"Teacher Takagi, you know I'm an only child."
The girl named Tomie covered her mouth with one hand, as if the person in front of her was telling some amusing joke.
"Enough! Stop lying! Is it fun to scare people like this?"
Seeing that familiar smiling face, countless memories flooded Teacher Takagi's mind.
He finally panicked.
At this moment, the students in the classroom also gathered to discuss.
"It's a lie, right? Is it a ghost?"
A girl said in disbelief.
"How is that possible? Aren't ghosts transparent and legless? But look, Tomie's legs are right there, perfectly fine."
After her friend spoke, everyone remembered the fair, smooth legs that had peeked out from under Tomie's school uniform skirt earlier.
They were fair and smooth legs, like precious jade, making one want to touch them.
Thinking of this, a familiar wave of jealousy rose in the hearts of many girls again.
In the office, Tomie suddenly embraced Teacher Takagi, whose panic was now unconcealed and whose breathing had become much heavier.
"Teacher."
A seductive voice whispered in Teacher Takagi's ear.
The sudden embrace made Teacher Takagi quickly steady himself.
Deeply feeling the familiar softness and warmth in his arms, Teacher Takagi felt no joy at the girl's embrace.
Only deep fear remained.
This embrace, this touch, he was too familiar with it.
"Let go of me, Tomie!"
Teacher Takagi began to struggle violently.
But for some reason, the girl he could usually subdue with just a little effort now made it impossible for Takagi to break free.
"Have you forgotten, Teacher Takagi?"
Warm breath brushed against his ear.
"After graduation, you'll be with me, right?"
"Teacher, I love you."
Teacher, I love you.
These words, which once made Takagi's heart leap with joy and soar to the heavens, now sounded like the whispers of a demon from the abyss.
"Enough! You're already dead, dead!"
Teacher Takagi forcefully pushed Tomie away and then rushed out of the office.
Tomie's smile did not disappear; instead, she watched Teacher Takagi vanish down the hallway.
"That, what exactly was that?"
After school, Tomie's only friend, Reiko, muttered to herself with an uneasy tone.
But in her terror, Reiko still held a glimmer of hope.
Could everything that happened that day have been a dream?
Tomie Kawakami was an incredibly beautiful girl.
She possessed special talents that others did not understand.
However, neither Tomie nor those around her were aware of these things.
So, they naturally assumed Tomie was born with a seductive charm.
Thus, countless malicious curses flowed towards Tomie.
Tomie had actually grown accustomed to this.
Moreover, although those around her often maliciously spread rumors about Tomie, Tomie herself was not so pure and innocent.
Yes, Tomie herself indeed had problems.
In class, she was close to the most popular boy, Yamamoto.
At the same time, she was also with their homeroom teacher, Teacher Takagi.
This made those who already disliked Tomie even more displeased.
Fickle, vixen, slut... countless vicious curses were all directed at Tomie, the girl who had possessed demonic charm since childhood.
Until a recent outdoor class, these malicious feelings exploded.
During that class, the students excitedly discussed what games they would play later.
Tomie, meanwhile, quietly sought out their homeroom teacher, Teacher Takagi.
Since Teacher Takagi was the homeroom teacher, even though these students were no longer young teenagers, he still needed to watch over them out of duty.
So Teacher Takagi found a high spot to sit.
From there, he could observe all the students and ensure no one would disturb him.
Therefore, Tomie's action of approaching Teacher Takagi was noticed by some people.
They told this news to Yamamoto, who was close to Tomie.
Yamamoto, who already suspected Tomie, couldn't sit still and quietly crept behind a tree next to the two of them.
"Phew, why aren't you going to play with them?"
Teacher Takagi lit a cigarette, enjoying his time slacking off at work.
"Because I'm already an adult."
Tomie smiled and leaned on Teacher Takagi's shoulder.
She uttered words that made Teacher Takagi's imagination run wild.
Seemingly recalling some unforgettable scenes, Teacher Takagi immediately felt a surge of emotion.
However, this was during class, and their location was being watched by many people.
So Teacher Takagi could only forcefully suppress that restless feeling.
After Yamamoto, the central figure of the class, left, everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the elevated spot where Takagi and Tomie were.
Immediately, countless displeased curses and exclamations of disdain arose.
Many students began to whisper in small groups.
Clearly, compared to outdoor games they had long grown tired of, this kind of denigration of someone they envied and were jealous of brought them more inner pleasure.
"That woman, always clinging to boys, that's why girls don't accept her, hmph."
"Yeah, only Reiko still bothers with her."
Discontent towards Reiko emerged in the voices of the crowd.
Reiko also smiled and agreed with them.
However, as they formed their usual small groups to criticize Tomie, an unexpected situation occurred.
