As the Snow Woman fell unconscious, her innate domain, "Permafrost," gradually melted away like rootless water.
However, the Zen'in Main Family compound, which had been covered in ice, appeared perfectly preserved, but in reality, it was as if a debuff of fragility had been applied.
It resembled dilapidated buildings that had endured centuries of time, almost crumbling at a touch.
Everything had to be torn down and rebuilt.
Upon hearing this news, Naobito Zen'in nearly turned white-haired overnight from worry.
How much money would it cost to rebuild all of this?!
My money~
My money, oh no TT
Mirai: No, it's my money w

Afterward, we learned:
During this incident of the "Special Grade Vengeful Cursed Spirit: Snow Woman" going berserk, all Grade 2 Sorcerers and below in the Zen'in Family, except for a few lucky ones who were not in the Main Family or were under the protection of a First Grade Sorcerer, were turned into ice sculptures and perished in this apocalyptic, extreme cold disaster.
Miss Snow Woman, who claimed most of the Zen'in Family's heads, nearly achieved the glorious accomplishment of uprooting this increasingly decaying withered tree.
Ah~ What a pity, desu ne =w=
...Two and a half days later.
Due to the unexpected incident at the Zen'in Family, Mirai and the others were given a short holiday by Masamichi Yaga just a few days after enrolling.
His exact words to Mirai were: "If you don't train that Cursed Spirit to be almost harmless, don't even think about stepping through the gates of my Tokyo Jujutsu High!"
"Don't you dare make me beg you, huh! Hmph!"
To this, Mirai expressed that he was truly speechless.
Is that how you threaten people w
The Zen'in Main Family was undergoing urgent reconstruction, with various surviving Sorcerers taking turns working.
However, Mirai was too lazy to roll out his sleeping mat and sleep with this group of shifty-eyed, fox-bearded, rough old men who reeked of rigid stagnation.
That very night, he took Takayanagi Mieko and moved to the Gojo Family.
Everyone there was talented, and their conversations were pleasant; he really liked it there w
Gojo Family.
The cold wind was biting, and snowflakes drifted down.
The ground was covered in a blanket of silver, with thick layers of snow reaching half a person's height everywhere.
Although the weather was not as extreme as it had been at the Zen'in Family a few days prior, where even Sorcerers could freeze to death, it was still soul-chilling and bone-piercing, unbearable for ordinary people.
"Mirai~ Are you comfortable staying at the Gojo Family?"
"Miss Snow Woman should be a bit more docile recently, right?"
"Can we unfreeze the Great Elder now?"
"It's already been a day and a night; if he stays frozen any longer, he's bound to be damaged..."
The Second Elder of the Gojo Family kept wiping away the ice shards formed by cold sweat on his forehead.
With an obsequious grin, he looked sheepishly at Mirai, who was being held like a baby by the Snow Woman on an ice throne not far away.
His lips trembled uncontrollably, as if he had Parkinson's, wanting to smile but not daring to.
After all, if you dared to smile, a living example was right there.
The Great Elder of the Gojo Family stood as a lifelike ice sculpture, maintaining an upward-gazing, laughing posture.
Only his two barely movable eyeballs showed that he was still alive.
"Oh, you mean that old man? I almost forgot about him! Take him away, quickly, take him away!"
"Just seeing him placed here annoys me = ="
Mirai waved his hand dismissively, and the Snow Woman, as if a mechanism in her mind had been activated, repeated her line, which was equivalent to Bulbasaur's "Bulba~ Bulba~":
"Mirai~ Mirai~"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The Second Elder dared not speak too loudly, quickly thanked him with bows and nods, and then, carrying the Great Elder's ice sculpture, swiftly disappeared from Mirai's sight.
"Snow Woman, it's about time you put me down, isn't it?" Mirai's tone was helpless.
These past few days, he hadn't done anything but stay by the Snow Woman's side.
As soon as Mirai left, the Snow Woman would become unhappy, and when she was unhappy, she would want to expand her domain.
Once her domain expanded, everyone except Special Grade and First Grade Sorcerers would be finished.
"Mirai~"
"Don't leave me~"
The Snow Woman's words changed for the first time, but it was for the worse.
The temperature suddenly dropped another eight degrees.
The abrupt temperature change made the Great Elder, who had just regained his bodily freedom and was stretching his limbs, stumble on the spot from the cold!
Bang!
"Ow, my back!"
"That little brat is acting up again, scram!"
Ice Throne.
In the Snow Woman's arms.
"Hiss~"
The Six Eyes observed the Cursed Energy within the Snow Woman's body surging and accumulating restlessly, and Mirai quickly waved his hand, denying and begging:
"No, I won't~ No, I won't~"
"I'll always be by your side!"
"Mm~"
Having received a satisfactory response, the Snow Woman displayed a gentle smile.
But the breath emanating from the corners of her mouth was even more freezing.
That extreme cold actually froze and cracked Mirai's cheek!
"Vocal?!"
Without realizing it, Mirai instinctively gasped!
Crack—
The left side of his face, which was closer to the Snow Woman, shattered directly into pieces!
This power... it was terrifying!
Her beloved master was injured, so Agathos automatically appeared without being commanded.
She raised her hand, and a mass of positive energy condensed from Reverse Cursed Technique, directly applied it to Mirai's face.
Positive energy is the natural enemy of Cursed Spirits, which represent negative energy.
It melts upon touch and kills upon contact.
The Snow Woman instinctively detested Agathos and the glowing green orb of energy in her palm.
Her face showed displeasure.
But looking down at the harm she had caused Mirai, suddenly, she understood something.
Forcing herself to endure the physical and psychological discomfort, she allowed this annoying fox in front of her to heal her child.

...Two and a half months later.
In front of an abandoned apartment building, filled with an icy chill, Kuchisake-onna's half-finished domain was crushed and overridden by a stronger domain before it could even take effect.
Facing the terrifying lineup of three men and one woman, three people and one Cursed Spirit, two First Grade and two Special Grade Sorcerers surrounding her, Kuchisake-onna's terrifying face, with disheveled hair and numerous eyes, was filled with terror.
She instinctively stammered in her hoarse, eerie voice:
"M-m-masters, am I... am I... am I beautiful TT"
"So ugly~"
As the cold, gentle words fell, the Snow Woman's right arm condensed into a giant ice claw.
She made to tear the ugly and unsightly bug in front of her to shreds with one swipe!
Suguru Geto and Gojo Satoru's eyelids both twitched, but neither dared to make a sound.
It was Mirai who quickly spoke up to stop her, pulling her back.
"No, no, no~ We need this one; we can't damage her!"
The Snow Woman's expression was fiercely cute as she lightly tapped her soft lips with an ice-jade finger, looking adorable.
"Mirai~ This~ Ugly woman~ Bad guy~ Hit her~"
Mirai fondly ruffled the Snow Woman's pure white, bone-chilling hair.
He was somewhat amused and exasperated.
Her obsession with beauty was unparalleled; even as a Cursed Spirit, she hadn't changed.
"Kuchisake-onna is a powerful Cursed Spirit we specifically found for Geto."
"She's also a rare species that has mastered a Simple Domain."
"She's very valuable~"
"Geto?"
The Snow Woman looked puzzled, trying to search her mind, which was full of Mirai, for information about "Geto."
Her enchanting blue eyes swept over the two young men behind Mirai.
After ignoring the seemingly familiar yet somewhat disliked smirking boy, the Snow Woman looked gently at the young man with the bun and side-swept bangs next to him, breaking into a smile.
Her right arm, condensed into a giant ice claw, pinched Kuchisake-onna's nape like a chick, and handed her to the stiff-faced Suguru Geto.
"Geto~ Good boy~ For you~"
"Tha... thank you, Auntie."
Under the Snow Woman's innocent and curious gaze, Suguru Geto, steeling himself, performed a live Cursed Spirit consumption for her.
Crunchy~ Honey-flavored.
To the side, Gojo Satoru, his face full of indignation, slung an arm around Mirai's shoulder.
He complained: "Bro, why is the Snow Woman ignoring me? This isn't scientific at all?!"
Hearing this, Mirai rolled his eyes.
He poked Gojo Satoru's forehead with his index finger.
"You don't even think about what you've been doing since you were ten, do you?"
"Disobeying, assaulting elders, organizing demolitions, disrespecting your elder brother..."
"That last one is the main point, isn't it?! Hey?!"
Gojo Satoru cried out to the heavens in sorrow: "So, the flowers at home really aren't as fragrant as the wild ones, huh?!"
"You're the same, Bro! You even demolished the entire Zen'in Family twice!!"
"It's unfair..."
"It's not fair at all!!!"
Suguru Geto, having finished subduing Kuchisake-onna, was being affectionately patted on the head by the Snow Woman.
He exchanged a knowing glance with Mirai.
Looking at the constantly dramatic and lively Gojo Satoru, both of them showed their white teeth, grinning broadly!
