Since early this morning, Satoru has been preparing to go to an incredibly difficult mission area. This mission is actually yours and Nanami's, but because you have some business meetings in your clan, you can't attend. So Satoru is the one who prepares to go alone. Satoru takes the time to stop by a cafe he likes and orders hot chocolate to warm his body that is shivering from the snow at night.

While replying to your message, Satoru is forced to go out for a moment to answer your phone. And that makes everything chaotic, because when Satoru goes out, some of Kenjaku's men who should have been intended to harm you end up harming Satoru instead. They put a strange liquid into Satoru's hot chocolate, a liquid made by Naoya Zenin. The liquid will have an effect that paralyzes the cursed energy of the person who drinks it, making the person unable to use their cursed technique for a day, of course also accompanied by other side effects.

Satoru returns after finishing arguing with you who are too protective of him. The beautiful young man sat back down and finished his hot chocolate and then continued his journey to the forest where the purification had to be done. It took half an hour to get there, and during the journey, Satoru felt strange about his own condition. He was very nauseous, his body was covered in cold sweat and wouldn't stop shaking. His feet and hands were cold as ice, he felt tight in his chest and his vision was blurry. But Satoru was still Satoru, he didn't want to show his weak side to anyone, didn't want to worry other people.

"—san?..Jo..san? Gojo-san!! Did you hear me? We're here, do you want to stay here until the other sorcerers come? Your lover said will be there." Ijichi's voice couldn't even be heard properly.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Satoru couldn't even process Ijichi's words, his chest hurt so much, and his head felt like it was going to explode.

"... I.. I—ugh.. ah... yeah.. I'm.. going.. shh.. nghhh.. ahh.. yeah.." Satoru wasn't even sure he could stand.
