The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 24

Saki sharply looked up at the sky and saw the black-haired man who she had taken the robes from before, sitting on top of a bird-like cursed spirit.

She remembered what Gojo had asked her to do and immediately rushed to catch him.

"You should save the others first," Kenjaku reminded with a smile.

Saki turned around and finally noticed that the staff members who had been sent away were all back, standing in place, oblivious to everything. The ground was filled with thick tree roots emerging from the earth.

First, save the people.

The siblings immediately ran to rescue them.

Although it only took a few seconds, by the time they saved everyone, Kenjaku had already taken the cursed spirits far, far away, leaving only a small dot of a figure in the distance.

Saki was a bit irritated and picked up a small stone from the ground, hurling it at that black dot.

The next second, a smaller black dot fell from the distance, someone had been hit by the stone, though who exactly was a mystery.

Her mood instantly lifted.

Because of the cursed spirits' surprise attack, today's commercial shoot was obviously ruined. Saki had no idea how to explain what happened to everyone, so she decided to leave all the cleanup work to her agent and just dragged her brother off to escape.

Kinoshita was a well-known gold-star manager in the industry, and Saki trusted her to handle it. Even if it didn't go well, the Inugane Group could help out.

It was getting late, and after leaving the set, the siblings decided to go grab a good meal before heading back. They spotted a newly opened barbecue restaurant on the way, offering an 80% discount.

—Because of their past financial struggles, even though they were now financially independent, they still loved finding discounts.

This area was suburban, about ten kilometers from the city center. They left the car for Kinoshita and decided to run back themselves.

As they sprinted down the road, passersby couldn't catch a glimpse of them, only seeing the dust flying up and the treetops swaying in the wind.

Suddenly, the girl running ahead came to a halt.

Saitama stopped right behind her, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"I saw someone I know." Saki said, then turned and ran back a hundred meters. She excitedly called out to the familiar figure, "Mahito!"

The blue-haired cursed spirit, who was rushing back to assist his teammates, froze in place.

He had been sent flying by Saitama's slap for over ten kilometers, straight from the suburbs to the city. He was now in a hurry to reunite with his teammates.

What should he do? Should he run?

No, with the speed of these two siblings, there was no way he could escape.

Then should he fight back?

Sukuna's vessel couldn't fight back, so he could only consider taking the bald guy hostage.

But...

The bald guy had slapped him all the way across ten kilometers.

Wait a minute...

If he got slapped that far, wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity to escape?

In the few seconds it took for Mahito to think, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. But before he could settle on a course of action, the girl had already appeared in front of him.

"It's really you." Saki smiled happily. "Is your wound from last time healed? I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."

Mahito froze, his expression strange.

"Do you know Ryomen Sukuna? That guy's been living inside me, and it was him who attacked you." Saki explained nonchalantly.

Mahito's expression became even more awkward, but his mind was quick, and he soon figured out what was going on.

Sukuna's relationship with his vessel didn't seem too harmonious, so the former hadn't even told the latter that he intended to attack Mahito that day.

"I'm fine now." Mahito quickly put on a smile.

As they were talking, Saitama walked over.

"Ki-chan is this your new friend?" Saitama asked curiously.

When Mahito realized that Saitama could see him, he was shocked. He was relieved that the girl still didn't know he was their enemy.

"Sort of. It's the guy from the last stage performance..." Saki started chattering about the previous incident.

Though when she had told Gojo about it afterward, he had mentioned that Mahito might have been after Sukuna, and he could possibly be allied with Jogo and the others, she hadn't taken it too seriously.

After all, Mahito hadn't been around when she had fought with Jogo, and unless there was solid proof, she didn't want to jump to conclusions.

Besides, she thought Sukuna was a bad guy, so logically, anyone attacked by him was likely to be a good person.

"Ah, so he's a cursed spirit too." Saitama said, a little surprised.

This was something that a lot of humans and humanoid cursed spirits could confuse.

"Yeah, I am a cursed spirit." Mahito smiled and admitted, perfectly maintaining his calm appearance.

"Mahito, are you going somewhere?" Saki suddenly asked.

"No, I'm just strolling around." Mahito quickly shook his head. He certainly couldn't admit he was on his way to support his teammates.

Since the siblings were fine and here, it seemed their mission had failed. He wondered how his teammates were doing.

"Well, since you're not doing anything, let me treat you to some barbecue." Saki eagerly invited.

Mahito: "..."

"No need." Mahito quickly refused. He didn't dare go to eat with this terrifying pair of siblings.

"It's fine, really. It's my apology for last time." Saki thought Mahito was just being polite.

"No, really, it's fine." Mahito refused again.

"You don't have to worry about being seen. I'll book a private room. I don't exactly fit in the main dining area anyway." Saki insisted on her own reasoning.

Mahito still wanted to refuse.

At this moment, the impatient Saitama reached over and casually picked him up, then started running, "I'm hungry! Let's hurry and go."

"Brother, wait for me!" Saki quickly followed.

Mahito didn't even have the chance to refuse. The scenery around him started rapidly retreating, but he quickly realized this was an opportunity. He quietly activated his technique on Saitama.

Nothing happened.

He had successfully altered Saitama's soul's shape, but for some reason—maybe it was because of the body's strength—nothing changed physically, and the soul quickly reverted to its original form.

Mahito instinctively swallowed and quietly withdrew his hand. From that moment on, he behaved himself.
