Chapter 102

The proud eldest brother erupts once Yuji passes along what Eso and Kechizu said at the end. Far underneath the city, locked inside a domain modeled on a cemetery, Mei Mei stakes everything beside the devoted Ui Ui to wipe out the special grade disease curse that the Geto impostor commands.

Pressed for any final words from his siblings, Yuji answers with a sorrowful expression that the pair never spoke parting lines, though both wept before they perished. Shock flips instantly to fury, and the horizontal smear of blood across Choso's nose churns and warps out of shape. He tells Eso and Kechizu to keep watch as his malice molds a menacing visage in the blood at his back. Underground, the Smallpox Deity buries Mei Mei beneath gravestone after gravestone, yet she slices out of each coffin before the spirit completes its three-count. After cycling through the trap repeatedly, she works out its mechanism: a coffin seals the target, a weighty gravestone crushes and entombs them, and a countdown then delivers smallpox.

Mei Mei reasons that only one person can be marked at any instant, and that the curse instinctively fixes on whoever holds more cursed energy. Just one of her crows sits trapped inside, so she needs the spirit fixated on Ui Ui before the bird turns useful. Asked whether he would give his life, her brother says he would gladly do anything at all. He floods his cursed energy outward, the curse hauls him into a coffin, and the moment a killing strike looms, Mei Mei lops the spirit's hands off with her axe.

To shield himself, Ui Ui triggers his New Shadow Style: Simple Domain, proving his job is countering domains rather than serving as mere baggage. The disease curse regrows its hands and lunges, but Mei Mei's lone crow rips clean through it, banishing the spirit while the bird itself dies. Her innate technique, Black Bird Manipulation, branches into the extension Bird Strike, which drives a crow past its cursed-energy ceiling in a kamikaze run that only Gojo has ever lived through. With the impostor's disease curse destroyed, a fresh flock answers her summons and she announces the real performance has begun. Returning to confront her, Pseudo-Geto concedes she stands out among the sorcerers of this era.
