Transmigrated Become Sukuna, but the host is Yukinoshita Yukino?-Chapter 182 - 175: I Want to Escape, But I Can’t

"And right now, I was wondering if you'd like to run away with me under the starlit sky?"

Hayashizaki smiled as he extended the invitation to the short-haired girl.

Yukinoshita Haruno was momentarily stunned. She wasn't exactly sure what he meant by that, but the phrase "run away under the starlit sky" sounded incredibly romantic. It did spark her interest.

For a split second, the idea showed on her face. But in the end, reason won over.

She shook her head lightly, a hint of regret appearing in her expression. "I can't. If I suddenly leave the banquet and my mother can't find me, she'll call me right away. That would be a hassle."

"You're still worried about that?"

Hayashizaki stroked his chin, and at the same time, Yukinoshita Haruno mimicked the motion. She wasn't angry about it.

On the contrary, the feeling of sharing control over her own body with someone else was strangely fresh and interesting to her.

"What else am I supposed to do?" The short-haired girl sighed helplessly and said in a self-mocking tone, "I'm the heir of the Yukinoshita family. Do you really think I can just sneak out and have fun during an important event like this?"

"No, you don't get what I mean." Hayashizaki's tone suddenly became serious. "Haruno, from the moment I unexpectedly woke up inside you, your fate has already changed."

"Hey, why are you calling me by my first name? We just met... Hold on, I never even told you my name, but you knew it right away. So you really do know me, huh?" Yukinoshita Haruno raised an eyebrow.

Hayashizaki: "..."

"And you said appearing inside me was an accident. So if things had gone as expected, who would you have ended up inside?"

"Yukino."

"?"

The moment she heard her sister's name, Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes turned sharp. Staring at her reflection in the mirror, she said in a low voice, "Your target is Yukino? What are you planning to do to her?"

"Looks like you're still just as protective of your sister. Well, that makes sense." Hayashizaki spread his hands helplessly. "Like I said, I don't just know you—I know your sister too. Just not in this world... or rather, not in this timeline."

"Besides, I'd say I have a pretty good relationship with your sister." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Maybe even better than you do."

"Not! A! Chance!"

Haruno's youthful face immediately turned red with frustration. After all, she wasn't like her future self yet—right now, she and Yukinoshita Yukino were still very close.

Even though she used to tease her a lot, their bond remained strong. With Yukino now studying abroad, the distance had only made their relationship seem even more precious. Yukino didn't hold grudges over childhood pranks, and they still talked every day on their phones.

"Believe it or not, I met you when you were already twenty years old," Hayashizaki shrugged.

"Even if that's true, there's no way you're closer to Yukino than I am! We're real sisters!" Haruno's voice rose unconsciously. "But you—what are you to her?"

"A friend. A teacher," he answered honestly.

"That's it?" The short-haired girl scoffed.

"But our souls are deeply connected—we even shared the same body." Hayashizaki grinned, as if trying to provoke her. "Just like you and I are doing now."

"Disgusting!"

Haruno didn't even try to hide her emotions. Her cute face twisted in an expression of pure disgust, and she made her stance clear. "If I could, I'd make sure you never appeared in me—or in Yukino."

If this were the twenty-year-old Haruno, she wouldn't have reacted so easily. Instead, she would've kept a calm smile and subtly fished for more information.

"Ahem, let's get back on track," Hayashizaki coughed lightly and steered the conversation back. "Because of me, you're going to be different from everyone else."

"I was already different," Haruno shot back, giving her reflection a look that said, *What nonsense are you talking about?*

"Not that kind of different—I mean on a fundamental level," Hayashizaki explained. "Whether you like it or not, your body has already developed cursed energy. Becoming a sorcerer is just a matter of time."

Whether she actually pursued being a sorcerer—or even switched to being a curse user—was something for the future.

"Cursed energy? Sorcerer?"

Haruno looked confused, so Hayashizaki had to explain everything about the jujutsu world from start to finish, including the fact that he had traveled from another timeline.

At one point, an elegantly dressed woman entered the restroom. With Hayashizaki's reminder, Haruno kept her composure, nodded politely with a smile, and pretended to be fixing her hair and touching up her makeup.

It was clear that Haruno was still the same master of deception—just not as polished as her future self.

Her acting skills still needed improvement, but fooling someone who wasn't suspicious of her was easy. Plus, her adorable face naturally made people lower their guard.

Once the other woman left, Haruno's smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a thoughtful expression. "I think I get it now."

"Good."

Hayashizaki was already parched from all the explaining. Maybe he should get Haruno to grab him a glass of champagne.

"You're the one who dragged Yukino into danger, aren't you?" Haruno suddenly asked, hitting him with a direct question.

"...If you put it that way, yeah, it's my fault," Hayashizaki admitted. He tried to shift the focus. "But right now, the important thing isn't Yukinoshita from another timeline—it's *you*, Haruno."

Haruno let out a dry chuckle. "Even if you say my fate has changed, that doesn't change the fact that I'm still the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, the heir of this household."

"You think I can just walk away from that and go become some sorcerer with you? If I leave, what happens to little Yukino?"

The reason Haruno had followed the path her mother laid out for her was simple—she didn't want her sister to bear that burden.

That's why she worked so hard to study and took the title of heir away from her mother's hands.

After all, the way the Yukinoshita family raised their children was through competition. They pitted siblings against each other, forcing them to surpass one another as a way to sharpen their skills.

And Haruno's competition was Yukino.
