The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 12

Prev | Directory | Next

The mastermind was a former rival of Saki's manager, Mandelin Kinoshita. He had heard about the cursed finger and, out of jealousy for Kinoshita's ability to bring out popular idols, had sent the finger on purpose.

He wasn't a sorcerer and didn't know it was Ryomen Sukuna's finger, nor did he understand what it meant.

"Kiki, how do you want to handle this?" Inugane asked, sitting on the couch, leisurely puffing on his pipe.

Saki looked at the man kneeling on the floor. He had already been beaten up, his face bruised and unrecognizable.

If he had just used the finger to scare her, a beating like this would be enough. But in fact, he had caused her to be possessed by Sukuna.

"Boss, can you handle it for me?" She wasn't sure how to deal with it, so after thinking for a moment, she decided to leave it to her boss.

"Sure." Inugane agreed easily.

After Saki left, he turned to look at the man still kneeling and smiled. "Don't worry, I'm not a demon."

"Anyway, you have no future as a manager, so why not debut as an idol yourself?"

After the handshake event, Saki had some free time again. Her boss wanted her to rest properly for a while and wouldn't be giving her too many jobs recently.

Her upcoming schedule included a filming for an ice cream advertisement at the beginning of next month, and she had nearly two weeks of free time.

Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to go back to her world for a vacation.

The reason she chose that world was simply because it was more comfortable there. She didn't have to worry about being recognized by fans when she went out, and she could freely enjoy herself.

Just as she was about to call her manager to inform them, her manager's call came through first.

There was a new arrangement.

In five days, the Gokudo Shojo would have a stage performance. The president wanted her, as a senior, to join the others for a group song and help mentor three junior members.

Without hesitation, she agreed, so over the next few days, she would be rehearsing dance with everyone.

In the dance studio, Saki was energetically rehearsing with Airi, Mari, and Chika.

Since getting stronger through exercise, her coordination had drastically improved, and she could easily perform dance moves of any difficulty.

According to the dance teacher, she was born to dance.

"Let's go again. One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four. Twist your hips, spin around."

"Airi, you're off beat."

"Also, Mari, your hip twist needs to be bigger, don't do it half-heartedly."

"Kiki is doing great, but when you spin, make sure to twist your hips more, it'll make it perfect. And the final pose—raise your hips!"

The dance teacher said as he patted the girl's hips, signaling her to stick them out more.

Saki complied and adjusted her posture.

She was enjoying the dance, but inside, Sukuna's face was turning as dark as it could get. Because of their shared sensory connection, when the dance teacher had patted the girl's hips, he felt as though his own hips were being patted.

He thought the handshake event was the worst experience, but it seemed like there were even more things to make him angry.

Once he got control of the body, none of these people would survive!

After five hours of intense practice, Saki was still full of energy, but Airi, Mari, and Chika were all exhausted, barely able to stand. The dance teacher finally announced the end of the session.

Saki smiled and said goodbye to her companions, then put on her mask and sunglasses as she left the company.

She didn't call her assistant to pick her up, deciding to walk home herself since the company wasn't too far. She'd also stop by the fruit shop on the way, as she had run out of fruit at home.

After leaving the fruit store, she thought about it for a moment and decided to grab some sushi to take home, so Genos wouldn't need to cook dinner. He had mentioned he had work to do in the morning and would be back late.

There was a good sushi place nearby, cheap and tasty.

At that very moment, inside the sushi shop, a man in a black robe was seated at a table with three cursed spirits.

"Wasn't Ryomen Sukuna already occupied in someone's body?"

"Well, things have taken a turn."

"We can't confirm the exact details yet, but the most likely situation is that Ryomen Sukuna had already occupied someone else's body before."

"So, what do you want us to do now?"

"Find that person, kill them, and have Ryomen Sukuna reoccupy Itadori Yuji's body."

As the man finished speaking, the door chimed, and it opened automatically.

The girl, holding fruit, walked in.

Saki walked into the shop, looking around, planning to find a quiet corner to sit in. But her gaze accidentally locked with the man and the three cursed spirits.

Both sides were shocked.

"Huh? Sukuna, do cursed spirits need to eat too?" the girl asked curiously.

Sukuna: "..."

Sukuna was already getting frustrated with her choice of topic. But now wasn't the time for small talk—he sensed his finger on the black-haired man.

"That man has my finger. Go take it from him," he ordered imperiously.

"How am I supposed to take it?" Saki asked, a little speechless.

"Don't forget the binding we agreed upon," Sukuna reminded her.

"I haven't forgotten, but there are so many customers in the shop." Saki pouted. "How about I go negotiate with them? Maybe they'll be willing to sell it to me."

Sukuna couldn't stand the word "negotiate"—so weak. He immediately mocked, "Is your power just for show? With that kind of strength, and you act so restricted? You really know how to make life boring."

"I'm just following the rules!" Saki snapped back angrily.

Her voice was a bit loud, immediately drawing the attention of everyone in the store. She quickly quieted down, then thought for a moment before deciding to walk over to the man with black hair.

"Hello," the girl greeted politely.

The three cursed spirits stared at her with strange eyes.

"I want to ask if you have..." Saki went straight to the point, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by a cursed spirit with a volcano-like head.

"Your request can be fulfilled now," the cursed spirit named Jogo said, raising two fingers and giving them a slight shake.

The next second, flames erupted from the girl's body, and in the blink of an eye, the fire consumed her completely.

"Ah—"
