(First PoV)
"Eh!? But it's a guy! Can't you find me a better vessel? Hehehe! How about your previous body!?"
...Becoming a Cursed Spirit has really made her messed up.
I have already realised that she might have gotten a crush on me due to Suspension Bridge Effect, but becoming a Cursed Spirit has turned it into something dangerous.
Still, reincarnating her into a body will mean that she will not be able to heal with Cursed Energy alone.
If she remains a Cursed Spirit and gets good at using Flying Thunder God alone, she will become unkillable.
And I guess she will not become a pure evil person like Choso after obtaining a body and people around her to guide her.
So I can put off using [Reversion] on her to turn her back into a human which will bring back the drawback of not having the ability of transforming into other cosplay characters, and just a bit of blood breaking the effects of [Cosplay].
Well, I am not sure if getting a bit of blood or something to ruin her cosplay will still cancel her Cursed Technique or not.
In any case,
"My original body is brain-dead. For now, make use of this body. Moreover, isn't electric Cursed Energy cool? You will have an easier time using Chidori."
"...No."
"I will transform this body to your original look then, alright?"
"Really!? Then it's fine!"
"Just protect me for now until I am able to transform into my original self."
"Okay! But I don't really have much Cursed Energy left... Yeah! I take a binding vow, that I will not have Cursed Energy for a day one year later, so that I get that day's Cursed Energy today!"
She became full of Cursed Energy again, and started keeping watch against an danger.
Meanwhile, I started adapting to change the shape of my soul and body to transform from this giant Yamata-no-Orochi to like a human and look back like myself.
Having two heads is weird.
Though since I am adapting from nothing, and I only have 2 heads of the 8 from the original Yamata-no-Orochi, it will take a long time.
"Kogane, how many points do I have?"
"[50 points!]"
50!?
"What's my name?"
"[Yamata-no-Orochi!]"
Oh. So I am being recognised by my body.
How did Yamata-no-Orochi get so many points already?
As far as I know, only Angel and Kashimo were defeated, right?
Hmmm... Maybe players died in the rubble?
"Teruhashi, what about your body? If the state isn't too bad, I can probably heal it and you can inhabit it."
"Nah. My body was too weak. I want a new body."
"Alright."
Still, I cleared the rubble with my tails, which is really weird to use, and found only Teruhashi's body.
I guess the rest of players were Cursed Spirits, otherwise the other players would have also become Cursed Spirits.
...The original group is down to only me and Teruhashi. And since she is in this state, I guess only 1½ people have survived.
You know, since Teruhashi died once already, I will count her as half.
I even had to reincarnate into another body.
I could only sigh for now about this cruel game Kenjaku started just for satisfying his curiosity.
But now that I have obtained this body, killing him will be easier.
I adapted enough to create a hand from one of my tail, so I took out my phone from my original body, but it was destroyed.
I couldn't move from my place to not cause any more infrastructure damage, and Teruhashi couldn't move because she is protecting me.
Not that there is any danger, since the strongest player of this colony, Kashimo, is already dead. I just want to keep her focused on 'protecting' me so that she doesn't go to kill others.
I still don't understand what will be the extent of her unhingedness as a Cursed Spirit.
So for the rest of the day, nothing really happened.
I adapted and analysed my Cursed Technique [Reincarnation], which automatically changes the shape of the soul to that of the new vessel. That's why Kashimo, who is now my Kusanagi Sword, isn't being responsive since he no longer has a brain.
Anyway, adapting to change the shape of my soul, and thus body, took me an entire day.
I guess my adaptation is not as fast as Mahoraga after loosing 6 of the 8 heads.
In any case, I transformed to look like my original body, with the Kusanagi Sword being able to come out of a hole in my hand.
Then I touched Kashimo's body, and transformed it into like Teruhashi.
"Make my boobs bigger."
"..."
I sighed and did that.
Since a Cursed Spirit is, as the name implies, a Spirit, reincarnating her into her vessel meant that she fully transferred into it, without leaving behind a body in which her Cursed Technique is engraved.
Black markings spread over her body as she reincarnated in it, and she opened her eyes.
"Woah! This body is amazing!"
I shrigged and looked at her original body.
Since her soul is already here, would using Reincarnation on it actually do something?
I tested it, but nothing happened.
I guess the souls who already are in the world of living can't really be summoned.
I still healed her original body and changed its shape, to use as a vessel for Miyako or others later.
And I destroyed my own body, since looking at my own dead body is rather creepy. And it's useless anyway due to being braindead. I can fix the brain, but it's creepy, and I don't want to do it.
I handed Teruhashi's body to her, and said, "This empty body will not rot now and doesn't require food to sustain itself, just like ours.
You don't mind if I use this body as a vessel for my girlfriend, right? Or you can use it for your family members."
"I don't mind! I have a better body, created by Tachibana-senpai afterall. You know, I was feeling like I was loosing my mind as a Cursed Spirit, but after obtaining this body, I feel rather calm, like a human again."
"Hmm."
It's because I fine-tuned the brain so that she doesn't go crazy.
She is no longer a danger, I think.
"How many points do you have?"
I asked her, and her Kogane appeared.
"Kogane, how many points do I have?"
"[85!]"
"Then let's start hunting for points quickly."
Miyako, it wouldn't be long before I reincarnate you!
