"The number you have dialed is currently unavailable."
After getting out of the colony, we stole two phones from a store, since our phones got destroyed. Thankfully, internet seems to be working just fine outside the colony.
Thankfully, the sim card from my destroyed phone was still working, and I remembered my google account's password.
After setting up my phone, I called Miyako-chan.
But her number was showing unavailable.
And I don't have her parents' numbers.
"Ugh... my sim card is destroyed, and I don't remember the password of my account..."
Teruhashi was worse off. She didn't have any way to contact her family.
"Let's search our homes first."
"Yeah. I wonder if they are still alive..."
Saying that, we got into the truck that I stole from the shipping yard.
I still need to experiment on whether a little of DNA is enough to summon someone's soul to reincarnate them.
When I adapt to the method of turning it into a Shikigami, I will use it to store bodies, souls and Cursed Energy, kind of like how Rika stores Cursed Energy and Cursed Techniques for Yuta.
I transformed my body to have one head of Yamata-no-Orochi and the Kusanagi Sword with its tails to be out of the window, clearing out the path filled with Cursed Spirits.
The situation outside the colonies isn't good either. There are Cursed Spirits everywhere, and since they aren't players, I wouldn't get points for killing them.
Still, I will kill as much as I can along the path.
-----------------
Soon, we reached my home. A 1 BHK apartment. I don't really need a big house before marriage.
Thankfully, it was undamaged.
"Wow! I thought that your room will be shabby, Senpai!"
"Well, I have a maid who comes once a week. I am not really the type to clean my home myself."
I started searching my home, and found a bunch of Miyako-chan's hair easily.
"Teruhashi, can you bring the body?"
"Heh. I will bring it in a flash!"
She cosplayed as Minato using Cursed Energy, and used Flying Thunder God to go to the hotel and retrieve her original body from the freezer.
She has around 3/4th of my Cursed Energy now, after the Newborn Souls merged with her, and she died and became a Cursed Spirit.
Different abilities cost different amounts of Cursed Energy. Flying Thunder God doesn't cost much, but things like Sasuke's Genjutsu almost drains her entirely.
And since I will reincarnate Miyako-chan in Teruhashi's original body, she will also be able to use her Cursed Technique Cosplay, though at the human potential, and with an unknown amount of Cursed Energy.
I don't plan to collect Newborn Souls and merge them with her to increase her Cursed Energy, because their memories will also merge.
In a few seconds, Teruhashi teleported back with her Original body in her arms and laid it on the bed.
I touched the body's head, and started changing it to look like Miyako-chan, along with certain physical enhancements, like increased muscle cross-sectional area, bone density, etc. etc. to be more like my own Yamata-no-Orochi body.
Her vessel was prepared.
Next, I took a binding vow.
[By using the chant "Save a cat, get hit by Truck-kun", I will be able to use 120% of my techniques potential.]
"Save a cat, get hit by Truck-kun."
"Reincarnation!"
I used [Reincarnation] on Miyako-chan's hair, and a soul appeared in it.
It's a success!
Then, I placed the other hand on the vessel.
"Reincarnation!"
Miyako-chan's soul reincarnated in her new vessel.
And as the process finished, she opened her eyes, looking directly at me.
"Y-you are Miyako-chan, right?"
My voice trembled as I carassed her cheek, tears falling down.
But... she didn't say anything and continued to stare. Her gaze unfocused.
"AAAAH! FIRE! I AM BURNING!"
And then, she started screaming.
"Calm down! It's alright! I am here!"
I hugged her, trying to calm her down, but she didn't stop screaming. She wasn't able to register my voice.
She could... only feel burning to death.
I even kissed her to calm her down, but nothing was working.
She has experienced her own horrifying death. Being caught in Sukuna's Domain and burning to death.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! YOSUKE! SAVE ME! I AM BURNING!"
"I am right here! Don't worry! You aren't burning! It was all just a bad dream! I am here!"
"AAAAAAAAHHHH!"
No matter how much I tried, she couldn't hear my voice. She couldn't see me. She couldn't register me.
She... is still stuck in the fire.
