The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 6

Prev | Directory | Next

Sukuna felt like his blood was boiling as he released slashes in his domain, furious. Who would waste precious time gained from a pact on such nonsense?

"Why would I do something so meaningless?!" he gritted through his teeth.

"Obviously to embarrass me and ruin my status as the brightest star in the idol world," Saki responded matter-of-factly.

Sukuna: "..."

At this point, Ryomen Sukuna realized she was never going to agree to hand over her body to him, and he'd have to take it slow.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then changed his proposal. "Alright, let's make a different deal. I'll help you get rid of the marks, and you help me find the remaining fingers."

"Do I just need to find your fingers, or do I have to eat them too?" Saki asked, confirming. "Your fingers are gross and don't even help with chest growth. I don't want to eat any more of them."

Sukuna: "..."

Sukuna was beginning to worry that this girl might just be the death of him. He ground his teeth and answered, "Fine, just find the fingers."

"Alright then," Saki agreed at last.

Sukuna proceeded to explain how to establish the restriction. Once the pact was set, he removed the marks from the corner of her eyes as promised, and then fell silent.

He was afraid that if he kept talking to the girl, she'd really be the death of him.

However, he was still satisfied with the outcome. As long as she found the fingers, he would guide her to remove the seals on them, which would then draw cursed spirits to her.

Heh, at that point, she wouldn't have any choice but to eat them.

"Since we've made a deal, you should at least tell me your name," Saki added. "Calling you 'hey' all the time makes me seem rude. If my fans heard that, it would be a blow to my idol status."

Sukuna really didn't want to engage any further, but after being irritated to the point of exhaustion, he finally answered.

"Ryomen Sukuna."

After Saki and Sukuna made their deal, they settled into a strange but peaceful coexistence.

To be specific, Sukuna was as quiet as a corpse, barely making his presence felt. Meanwhile, Saki returned to her normal routine, focusing on skin and body management, completely treating him like he didn't exist.

Sukuna asked Saki to find the finger, but didn't give any instructions on what to do about it. Saki, pleased by this, casually told her assistant to help with the search.

The president gave her a week off, and her upcoming schedule was the new song release handshake event next week.

The day before the handshake event, Saki looked at her glossy, light pink nails and decided to go get a French manicure to make her hands even more beautiful.

Before leaving, she browsed through photos sent by the staff at her usual shop, picking out designs. She liked many of them, which made her indecisive.

"Sukuna, which one of these three looks good?" she suddenly asked.

Sukuna didn't respond.

"Come on, say something," Saki pressed, "we're sharing this body, so I think you should have at least a little bit of a say."

Sukuna still ignored her.

"Fine, if you're not gonna say anything, I'll just leave it," Saki gave up and then spent another half hour looking at the three similar pink nail designs, still unable to decide.

"Forget it, I'll just randomly choose one," she said, closing her eyes and picking one.

Sukuna was speechless.

He really didn't understand how anyone could waste time on something so meaningless. And were those three designs even that different?!

After picking a design, Saki contacted the staff to make an appointment for the manicure, then quickly tidied up and left.

While other idols had to go out fully armed, she was different—she only needed sunglasses and a mask.

The reason? Her disguise was too good. Fans thought she was a perfectly curvy beauty, and no one knew her chest was all supported by padding.

It was kind of sad when she thought about it, so she decided to buy two papayas on her way home.

After being out of the house for a while, she couldn't help but ask when she saw the monsters occasionally showing up on the streets, "Sukuna, what are those monsters?"

"Cursed spirits," Sukuna replied with a light laugh.

He didn't mind answering serious questions like this as much.

"What's a cursed spirit? Is it similar to the monsters in my world?" Saki explained, "Ah, monsters are what we call the creatures in my world. You haven't seen them, but you'll know what I mean when you do."

"They're curses born from negative emotions," Sukuna answered concisely, not caring whether she understood or not.

Saki didn't dig deeper. She came to this world to be an idol, not a hero. As long as the monsters didn't attack her, she wouldn't take the initiative to deal with them.

As long as the monsters didn't attack her...

"Ugh, why won't this thing die?"

Three minutes later, Saki was being chased around by a small cursed spirit that popped out of a sewer.

She tried punching the cursed spirit to death, but even after smashing it to bits, it would fully heal within a minute.

Her attacks clearly weren't doing any real damage.

"Brat, curses can only be purified by curses," Sukuna said with a laugh. "If you want to deal with it, just let me take over. I'll take care of it for you."

"You're taking advantage of me," Saki accused.

"Yeah, I'm taking advantage of you," Sukuna admitted nonchalantly.

Saki huffed in displeasure but didn't get angry, because she had other solutions. If she couldn't kill it, she could at least shake it off.

"I can handle it myself," she said, then sprang into action, launching herself forward like an arrow from a bow.

The people on the street only felt a gust of wind, unable to catch sight of the girl, and the street cameras couldn't either.

Sukuna's pupils widened slightly, and he became even more excited.

Although he already knew the girl had extraordinary strength, able to punch through mountains, he hadn't expected her to have such incredible speed. Her speed was now approaching the speed of sound.

He wanted this body even more now.

"Phew, done." Saki ran several kilometers in one go, and only after confirming that the cursed spirit couldn't catch up did she stop, calmly fixing her messy hair. She proudly said, "Although I'm not as fast as my brother, I'm pretty fast."
