The Pitchfork Couple
The Expressionless Farmer Couple
...... (husband) ...... (wife)
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
An expressionless farming couple who stand side by side, forever, within a single painting. The pitchfork in his hand is rusted, red seeping faintly from its tines. For decades they've said not a word to each other, yet they never part—whether that's love or just inertia, not even they can tell. They have a knack for freezing a room with the sheer pressure of a straight face, and they are the only ones ever to end the marathon monologues of the meeting-overrun monk Just-One-More without saying a thing.
Relationships with other curses
The natural enemy of Just-One-More (no meeting can withstand their silent pressure). Even the roar of the complainer ox-demon Karen the Ox-Demon shrivels before the two of them and their blank faces.
How to deal with this curse
The Pitchfork Couple embodies the everyday frustration of "masterpieces." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
