Raw Chapter 61 Makutsu No Ou Yomei Ichi Kagetsu No Doutei Mahou Shoujo Harem Wo Kizuite Ou He Kunrinsu Link Guide
But a pact with a curse is never purely kindness. Every rescue cost Link something. Sometimes it was a memory—a childhood nickname, the taste of his mother’s stewed plums; sometimes it was a small ability: he could no longer whistle, or he began to dream in languages he did not speak. The sigil drank these things like incense, and Makutsu no Ō’s presence grew thicker, like fog pooling behind his ribs. As the days shortened toward the month’s end, the rescued girls’ powers evolved in unexpected ways. Ichi Kagetsu’s stuttered time became a woven tactic; Doutei’s stale bread turned into loaves that remembered flavors when eaten with true intent; Mahou Shoujo folded a thousand paper cranes that, when released, became brittle wards. Link’s role shifted from rescuer to anchor. When they fought—night shadows of an old curse that fed on human pity—Link was the sigil’s conduit, throwing his borrowed power into their lines so their recovered charms could sing.
When, years later, a child pressed a broken tin toy into his hands and asked if he could make it sing, Link smiled and called the sigil’s name—not as an order but as an invitation. The sigil warmed, and together they coaxed a gentle tune into the toy. Around him, the girls—older, unshadowed—clapped like a chorus. The moon watched and did not demand a price that night. But a pact with a curse is never purely kindness
The girls did not protest. They had reclaimed themselves once; they trusted his choice. One by one they touched his shoulder and left a blessing: Yomei’s soil pressed into his hands; Ichi Kagetsu’s hairpin clicked like a promise; Doutei’s warm bread steadied his shaking. In return they untied the final threads that bound them to the sigil’s fear. The month ended not with a crown but with a sunrise that tasted faintly of flour and charcoal and paint. The sigil, dulled, lay like a pebble at the center of Link’s palm. He could no longer whistle; sometimes his tongue spoke moons in languages he didn’t know. He would wake at midnight for as long as he lived, feeling the sigil’s low pulse and answering to nothing but the girls he had saved. The sigil drank these things like incense, and
Kunrinsu Link woke to the smell of rain and a sky split by a silver moon. He was an ordinary university student until the night he found the wooden sigil tucked inside an old manga at a secondhand stall: a carved circle of interlocking moons and a single kanji—yomei. When he traced its grooves the sigil flared cold and the voice that answered was neither male nor female but calm and crystalline. Link’s role shifted from rescuer to anchor
Link stood before them in the apartment they had made into a refuge: moon-flower vines climbing the walls, clocks stopped in mid-tilt, a loaf cooling on the sill. The girls watched with different faces: hunger, hope, fear, trust. He thought of the things he had already given: whistled memories, a laugh that no longer belonged only to him, a name shared with someone reflected in glass. He thought of the sigil’s early whisper—King of Curses—and of the way he had used power to stitch people back together rather than dominate them.
