A/N: Thank you for the wait. It's been a while, and work, well, work. It never gets better. Mine got worst with the arrival of a new female, unmarried, micromanaging superior. Too much on my mind, so it'll take a while for me to update. I'll write whenever I can alright? 

So recently I've watched an anime movie that I have been waiting for so long. Belle (2021). Lovely, lovely anime. I kept rewatching them. So lovely. I love all of the songs so, I was listening to it while I write so I incorporated it into here. 

For this chapter, the song I'm using is titled Uta Yo by  Kaho Nakamura as Belle. 

Enjoy this chappie~

Stay safe out there.

Reverse Cursed Technique under her Veil. This should work. Just need a bit more Cursed Energy to make it work. Remembering the technique on imagining her positive cursed energy flowing from her stomach to her lungs and out through her voice from Gojo-sensei, Maguro again imagined pouring the Reverse Cursed Technique she has learnt from Ieiri-sensei into her voice instead of out on her palms.

Back to the time when she has healed Inumaki with her technique for the first time, standing so close to him as she pulled down the zipper to his high collar, revealing his lovely visage.

Looking down at Inumaki, Mguro touches his cold face. She needs to be quick about this.

No more waiting around for anyone else to save her. This time, let her be the one to have their backs.

Maguro takes a deep breath and hum out a song she had in her head to guide her on making the barrier for them. This... Maguro prayed hard. Please, let this work. Let this work!

"Maguro..." Inumaki whispered to her in his mind. She immediately looked at him. Smiling weakly, Inumaki thought about how much he liked it when he can get her immediate attention just by calling her name. Before he regrets it, he wanted her to know it before anything worst happens.

Of how much...

"I love you," Inumaki finishes his thought to her, palming her face gently in his hand. "Very...much...do you know that?"

Looking down at Inumaki safely held in her arms, she nodded her head and hugged him tightly. The bad feeling, she had felt it in her gut before the competition starts. It really has happened. Inumaki, her beloved, has gotten so hurt. A tear fell from her eyes. She just wants him to be safe.

"I know, Toge-kun, hold on," Maguro whispered into his ears. "I...I got you. Just hold on. Just a while more."

For the sake of everyone, she'll have to try this.

La lala, La lala lala
Dear song, guide me!

She started with a simple tune. Almost immediately, she could feel the positive cursed energy starting to well up within her, pooling in her stomach and her heart as her Will helped gather the energy around.

I want to see a world
Where this tiny melody runs throughout
Every morning, I wake up and search

As she continues singing, the energy that gathers around her becomes stronger. Coupled with her will to save everyone within this cursed veil, the energy started to feel warm, a sign that what she is gathering around her is a positive energy.

Positive energy from her own soul. This could drain her, but this situation gives her no choice to think otherwise.

Saving them comes first, more so Inumaki Toge.
