And that's it. TLanon should be here in a bit, and I'll probably finish the chapter tomorrow since it's getting late

Nobody’s here huh

But... being dumped for no apparent reason doesn’t seem like a problem...

That’s the hard part
...probably.
If the boy you like gets dumped,
Then it’s like your importance is treated like trash.

That’s enough of a reason for a girl to curse a girl.
...that’s what Kanbaru said.
I don’t really get it though.

Man, friendship is so fickle.
That’s why i don’t make friends.

>that's what she made you
This sounds awkward but I can't place my finger on why

...She said she was reading that book to look for a way to get rid of the curse.
I don’t know if it’s a legit book or not,
But it said “You’ll get rid of the curse if you kill snakes”... and that sounds like a bunch of lies.

Sengoku just kept... reading and reading that book every day
...that’s why i figured it out right away.
That page was the only worn out one because she kept going back to it. That’s why it naturally opened to it.

No

“Dicing up” snakes isn’t the wrong way to get ward off the “Jagiri nawa”.

Eh
Is it?

In this case, it’s not actually the “snake” part though.
It’s the “rope” part.

Look, you can clearly see the rope marks that’re on those Joumon pots, right?
They say those aren’t actually meant for decoration purposes, but for incantations.

At the time, it was believed that there were “bad things” inside the food which caused sickness.
And modern doctors even validate this.

That’s why you create a barrier with the “rope” to defend yourself.
That concept is widespread in modern Japan.

The “Jagiri nawa” uses that system
Not for defense, but as a mean of offense.

So basocally
It doesn’t “protect”
It closes in on them. [emph]
You’re tied down by the barrier [emph]

That’s why
You should just cut the rope. [emph]

Uhhh...
I bieve it’s stuffed around here...

Aha
Here we go.

So... the snake marks reached Sengoku-chan’s neck, am I correct? [emph “reached Sengoku-chan’s neck”]
If it goes any higher... then it’s no good. [emph first part]
It doesn’t matter how far the middle schooler who cursed her planned on taking it.

There’s a clear evil intent...
No
“Murderous intent” is better.

The Jagiri nawa is an abnormality that’s meant to kill people.

A fix

So... the snake marks reached Sengoku-chan’s neck, am I correct? [emph “reached Sengoku-chan’s neck”]
If it goes any higher... then it’s no good. [emph first part]
>It doesn’t matter how much the middle schooler who cursed her understood how this curse worked.

>be girl
>like a guy
>he asks out another girl
>gets rejected
>get mad at the girl
