The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 8

It was a girl with short orange hair, wearing a dark blue school uniform, likely a high school student. Behind her was a boy in the same uniform with pink hair—exactly the same boy she had encountered yesterday. He was wearing the same shocked expression as he had the day before.

It's fine. As long as she didn't admit it, he definitely couldn't confirm that she was the person from yesterday.

She quickly forced her perfect smile back on and extended her hand, shaking the girl's hand while saying, "Thank you for your support."

"Kiki, I will always support you!" Kugisaki said excitedly, holding her idol's hand but barely daring to apply pressure, afraid of hurting her.

"Mm, love you too," Saki enthusiastically winked at her.

Kugisaki became even more excited, not wanting to let go of her idol's hand. But due to the handshake event's rules, she reluctantly walked off the stage.

Next was Itadori Yuji.

Itadori's mood was extremely complicated at this moment. He hadn't expected that by attending an idol's handshake event, he'd find out that the idol was the same girl from yesterday who had most likely also eaten Sukuna's finger.

And now that they were meeting again, he could confirm once more that she had indeed eaten the finger, just like he had.

"Is something wrong?" Saki asked, noticing the boy seemed distracted. She was nervous inside but still kept her energetic smile on the outside.

Itadori snapped back to reality and quickly stepped forward to shake her hand. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Kiki, did you eat any strange fingers recently?"

As soon as his words left his mouth, the security personnel, who were maintaining order, judged that he had violated the rules and immediately came to forcibly drag him away.

Saki hesitated for a moment but didn't stop them, deciding to let the handshake event finish smoothly first.

The handshake event lasted for nearly six hours. By the time it ended, the sky had already darkened. Many fans were still waiting outside, unwilling to leave. Saki could only leave under the cover of bodyguards.

Once she returned to her apartment and said goodbye to her busy manager, she immediately collapsed onto the couch and closed her eyes to rest. A few minutes later, she was fully recharged.

Her stamina was really incredible—after six hours of a handshake event, she wasn't tired at all. The only thing that had exhausted her was having to smile constantly.

"Sukuna, Sukuna, what's going on with the pink-haired boy from this afternoon?" She began asking serious questions.

"From what you said yesterday, he ate your finger too? Can people who eat fingers sense each other? Then why didn't I feel anything?"

"And if he ate your finger, how do we recover it?"

"Also, if there's a way to recover the finger, can't you leave my body too?"

Ryomen Sukuna, faced with so many questions, impatiently replied, "How would I know?"

"Your finger. You're telling me you don't know?" Saki didn't believe him.

"My finger, as a special-grade cursed object, should either poison the person who eats it or cause them to undergo a transformation. You and that brat are both abnormal," Sukuna said, feeling somewhat frustrated.

Now, there were two people who ate his finger and were completely unharmed.

"You're so useless, you don't even understand your own situation," Saki didn't hide her disgust.

Sukuna was left speechless by her remark.

At this point, Saki took out her phone and dialed her assistant, Sodekawa Tomoya, asking if he had already found the pink-haired boy's home address. After learning that he hadn't, she casually decided to leave it for now and wait.

At seven in the evening, after changing into comfortable home clothes, she began stretching in the dance studio, as part of her body management routine.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Since only people from the company knew her address, and the property management wouldn't let strangers in, she didn't think much of it and went to open the door.

However, standing outside was a strange man with white hair. He was over 1.9 meters tall, giving off a strong sense of intimidation.

"Yo, Kiki, hello." he said with a smile.

Saki froze for a moment. Seeing that the person outside was a stranger, she quickly closed the door with force, thinking about her image.

Gojo quickly pressed his hand against the door, explaining, "Wait, I'm not a bad guy. I'm..."

With a "bang," the door was still slammed shut.

Gojo stood stunned. Was this the kind of strength a normal girl should have?

"I'm Yuji's teacher," he snapped back to reality and continued explaining through the door, "Yuji, the guy you met earlier today? I came to talk to you about Ryomen Sukuna's finger. You must be troubled by it too, right?"

"Give me three minutes," Saki said, running towards her bedroom. She quickly changed into a padded bra, swapped her casual homewear for something more appropriate for receiving guests, and even tidied up her hair, tying it into a cute bun.

Three minutes later, she opened the door with a smile and invited the guest in.

She wasn't afraid of letting a strange man into her house at night. After all, if he was a bad guy, she could easily make him go in standing and come out lying down.

Gojo was stunned as he looked at the girl who had been completely transformed. He couldn't help but comment, "Whoa, is this what idol-level professionalism looks like?"

"By the way, compared to earlier, you're..." His gaze unconsciously fell on the girl's chest.

Saki kept her smile intact, but her fist by her side had already tightened, considering the possibility of knocking him out cold to make him forget what he just said.

Luckily, Gojo realized the question was inappropriate and quickly withdrew both his question and his gaze.

Only then did Saki relax her fist.

Saki gestured for him to sit and politely asked, "Sir, may I ask your name?"

"My name's Gojo Satoru," he replied casually. "I'm a first-year homeroom teacher at the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High."

"Good evening, Mr. Gojo," Saki responded. "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"

She was especially nice, thinking that he might know how to help her get rid of Sukuna.

"Well, let me ask you first. How much do you know about Ryomen Sukuna?" Gojo Satoru asked, getting straight to the point.

"Nothing at all," Saki answered truthfully. "All I know is that his name is Ryomen Sukuna. As for the rest, he never told me anything."

"He?" Gojo caught the key point, then suddenly removed his sunglasses, leaning in to look at the girl.

His cerulean eyes were filled with shock.
