The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 3

He couldn't finish his words before the mouth he had controlled vanished.

Saki could feel her body changing, realizing she had successfully suppressed him even further. She let out a long sigh of relief.

She had been terrified—she thought her idol career might be over.

Saitama, seeing his sister's relief, also felt a sense of ease. After all, Sukuna's attitude just now was clearly not one of cooperation, and it seemed he had given up on negotiating.

"Ki-chan, you must have just eaten the finger, right?" he thought for a moment before suggesting, "How about I punch you, see if you can spit it out? Maybe if you throw it up, it'll be fine."

"Big brother, I'm your only sister." Saki immediately refused.

Even a normal punch from her older brother would have the power to crush a mountain and scatter the clouds in the sky.

She wasn't ready to die young. Taking a punch was one thing, but she might as well try to throw it up first.

"I'll try to throw it up myself," she said, running to the bathroom, using her toothbrush to press the back of her throat, desperately trying to make herself vomit up the finger.

After a long time of gagging, all that came up was stomach acid. The finger, however, remained elusive.

"Let's go to the hospital," Saki decisively declared.

The siblings quickly got into the car and headed to the hospital. On the way, Saki realized something was off.

—Her eyes could see things that were previously invisible.

She had always thought the world was peaceful, without any monsters. However, now, small strange creatures would occasionally pop up along the road.

These creatures resembled monsters but were small in size and seemed harmless. Some were perched on people's shoulders, others hid in the sewers.

By the time they reached the hospital, the number of monsters had clearly increased, with some even larger than humans. They walked through walls and even passed through human bodies, as if they existed in a separate world, entirely indifferent to the humans around them.

"Big brother, you really can't see those monsters?" Saki asked her brother for confirmation.

"I can't see them. You probably can because you ate that finger," Saitama honestly shook his head. "But as long as they don't actively attack, it should be fine."

Saki frowned. She wasn't afraid, but it was a bit frustrating to realize that the world wasn't as peaceful as she thought.

She decided to stop worrying about the monsters for now and rushed to get a checkup. After all the commotion, the results showed that there were no foreign objects in her body.

—The finger she had eaten had mysteriously disappeared.

Saki felt a bit hopeless. But then she thought, since physical expulsion didn't work, maybe magical expulsion would.

"Let's go to the temple," she decided without hesitation.

The siblings went to a famous nearby temple. After much effort, Ryomen Sukuna's soul remained firmly within her body.

Saki wasn't giving up.

She went to a shrine.

Then to a church.

Then to a Taoist temple.

At 10 PM, the girl returned to her apartment, utterly dejected, collapsing onto the couch, closing her eyes in despair.

What kind of ghostly thing had she stirred up?!

Seeing his sister in such a state, Saitama tried to comfort her, "Well, he can't take your body, and he can't make any more mouths appear. Just pretend he doesn't exist."

"Underneath your eyes, the marks aren't too bad. If you don't like them, you can always cover them up with makeup."

"Guess that's all I can do for now." Saki sighed, accepting the comfort and the current situation.

The siblings were both optimists, after all.

Of course, this was just temporary. Once they figured out a solution, they would deal with it.

But since it was already late, and as a disciplined idol, Saki quickly pushed Sukuna's issue to the back of her mind and decided it was time to wash up and go to bed. Beauty sleep was important!

However, just as she was about to enter the bathroom, she suddenly remembered something important.

Even though the creature in her body couldn't control or change her anymore, during her visit to the temple earlier, she had occasionally heard his derisive snorts in her head.

That meant he could still see the outside world through her eyes.

Hmm...

Ugh, no!

How was she supposed to take a bath now?

While she wasn't the type to be easily embarrassed, it still made her uneasy knowing that someone—especially a guy—could be watching her.

Saki thought about it for a while and decided that it was necessary to have a good talk with the other person, so that they could get along peacefully in the future and, by the way, let the person understand the importance of not peeping.

"Hey, you, what's your name?" she suddenly asked.

Sukuna ignored her.

"I'm talking to you," she complained, visibly upset.

Sukuna still didn't respond.

"Hey!"

Sukuna clearly had no intention of acknowledging her.

Saki took a deep breath. Since the other person wasn't willing to communicate properly, she couldn't be bothered to say much more. She simply warned, "I'm going to take a shower, and you're not allowed to peek."

"If you..." she tried to say something threatening but realized there was nothing she could do, so she ended up childishly cursing, "Whoever peeks is a little dog."

"Heh." Sukuna suddenly responded, but his words were laced with ruthless mockery, "Don't worry, I have no interest in a shriveled little girl like you."

Shriveled.

Those two words were more hurtful than calling someone flat-chested.

Saki immediately snapped, her temper flaring. "Do you know who I am?"

"I'm Kiki! Voted the most popular female idol for three consecutive years, and if you randomly ask people on the street, eight out of ten are my fans!"

"You actually said you have no interest in me and mocked me for being flat-chested? You tasteless jerk!"

She immediately unleashed a barrage of words.

Sukuna's head throbbing, he couldn't hold back and snapped, "Shut up."

"What! You actually told me to shut up!"

"You don't even own your own body, and you're staying in mine. Could you at least have some awareness as a tenant?"

Saki's temper flared even more, and she launched into another round of complaints.
