"The Maxwell's Demon Protocol..." 2x
Whether it was Mai or Maki, neither of them could properly react except for muttering the name of Suzuki's proposal while facing the man, who had never given up on them, and had been trying to solve their problem, which would even be mocked as a "nerd" as he had decided to join the department of physics at Kyoto University.
Nerd, nerd, and nerd.
How many times had Suzuki been called by that nickname?
After all, for one to decide to join the prestigious normal human university to learn about physics, while it was something admirable in the eyes of normal humans, in the eyes of the jujutsu soccerers, Suzuki had been wasting his time!
If he had time to learn at the university, then he might as well just focus on killing the cursed spirit, making money, and creating peace within the society!
Or rather, Suzuki should have just trained himself to grow stronger!
Why did he waste his time at university?
Yet, Maki and Mai knew well that it was because of the two of them.
While the others tried to mock them or console them, thinking they were either someone to be looked down on or someone who needed to be comforted by their twin curse, Suzuki never gave up and kept thinking of a solution. Instead of saying that their condition was cursed, he told them that they were just in a special situation, which was something that was common or daily, like how one could go to a restaurant to eat when they were too lazy to cook!
"Yes."
Suzuki nodded and said proudly as he pointed his finger at his brain, "It isn't that your situation is cursed, but all of them are idiots, unlike me, who is a genius."
"..." 2x
"Hahaha..." 2x
Mai and Maki were speechless, then laughed so hard they cried.
Yup, Suzuki's words might be shameless, especially when he knew well that the reason why he could make this solution into a reality was all due to the manager's ability, yet even so, it didn't matter since if he hadn't learned the physics, then the manager wouldn't be able to think of a way to solve this problem except of the old-fashioned method, which was a cruel method where one had to be sacrificed to make the other to be able to achieve their full potentials.
"An idiot... how funny...!"
Mai closed her eyes as she laughed, trying to hide her crying face while looking away.
"I see... this isn't a cursed..."
Maki was calmer, yet as she tried to hold herself by clutching to the hem of her skirts tightly as she looked down, more tears kept streaming from her eyes.
"...should I wait for you to cry, or continue?"
"Continue!" 2x
The two of them couldn't wait for them, so they solved their problem as soon as possible, or rather, they had been waiting for him, which was why they had been sticking to him.
Or rather, except for him, they didn't really believe in anyone, since while many of the people were kind to them, admiring them, whether it was due to their beauty, or their efforts to grow, they hadn't tried to solve their problem, and just tried to console them, as if there was nothing the two of them could do to change their twin curse.
However, Suzuki was different. He had never thought of giving up, and he even studied physics, which made their heads split when they read his books while bored.
"...."
Suzuki wasn't sure why the two looked at him strangely, or he might have noticed, but frankly, he felt like he was their father instead of something more, considering how he had been taking care of them from childhood as their father was practically incompetent, and blamed his fate on the two, ignoring the fact that their father was waker than Naobito, the clan head (also, Suzuki's father).
"Okay, but it needs time, so you two stay here, so I can perfect this tool to fix your problem."
"Yes!" 2x
Yes, while Suzuki could solve their problem, it needed time, and also quite a sum of money, but fortunately, he had kept a lot of his money, and this was also the reason why he had never thought to buy a house, as he knew well that to create the tool to solve the problem of Mai and Maki, he needed a lot of expensive materials.
Naturally, when Mai and Maki saw how much money Suzuki had spent on them, they felt at a loss. Yet when he told them that it was fine and he could get more money later, they didn't know what to do, as they knew well that he didn't really like the jujutsu sorcerer work, and they also knew how much he had been working to get all of that money, which made them vow that they would follow him forever.
"What's wrong? Why are you two getting close to me all of a sudden?"
"What? You don't like it?"
"...you two are making it hard for me to create this item."
"So, you mean that we're making you lose your calm?" Mai asked smugly with a light blush on her face.
"..."
Suzuki was speechless, then looked at Maki, who somehow just quietly stared at him without saying anything.
"...if you have time to be saying something stupid, how about you buy me some food since I am hungry."
"Who is stupid?!" Mai roared. "Hmph! I will make you something instead of buying out. Wait here, and just focus on your work." As she said so, she stood up and went to the kitchen to cook.
"....."
Suzuki stared at Mai strangely, yet he shook his head and continued on with his work, as he wanted to solve their problem as soon as possible.
Still, many might have realized that Mai's creation technique might be able to make something out of nothing, but frankly, the cost was out of this world, and it was already taking her everything to create a single bullet, so how could she have the energy to make something as intricate and complex as this tool, right?
"Is there anything that I can help with?" Maki asked.
"Then, help me to hold that."
"Okay." Maki nodded and quickly helped him.
Regardless, with the help of the manager, Maki's support, and Mai's food, Suzuki was finally able to create the Cursed Tool to solve their problem.
"Wear it, Maki."
"Okay."
Maki quickly put on the choker that Suzuki had created with anticipation, and Mai waited impatiently as well, yet when everything was in place, the two of them felt a sense of liberation as the curse within them had disappeared.
"Done?"
"Done!" 2x
At that moment, Maki and Mai hugged Suzuki at the same time, so tightly that he almost died.
It was fine if it was before, but now?
Crack! Crack! Crack!
"Ouch! Ouch! Stop! Stop! Maki, you are going to break me! You are going to break my body! "
Regardless, before Suzuki took the throne, he knew well that he had to train them first.
