The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 29

Seeing the room full of old men either twitching all over from electric shocks or foaming at the mouth, she finally understood where the problem was.

—The doctor, seeing her casually bring people over and worrying about them running off, assumed they were enemy forces. Instead of properly treating them, he just forcibly shocked them awake.

This was bad, really bad. How could she negotiate friendly like this?

Saki was silent for a few seconds, then took a photo and sent it to Gojo Satoru with a crying emoji, asking for help, "Mr. Gojo, do you believe me when I say I didn't do it on purpose?"

Gojo stayed silent for a long time after seeing the photo, then replied, "I believe you, but they probably won't."

Saki: "..."

Soon after, Gojo called again, this time actually coming to offer help.

If he didn't step in, the top jujutsu higher-ups would really all get wiped out. The rotten oranges dying wasn't a big loss, but if they died, the girl would truly be at odds with the entire jujutsu world.

Originally, he thought the other side would negotiate with the director's department for a few rounds, and when talks failed, there would be a few rounds of fighting. When Jujutsu Headquarters realized they couldn't handle it, he'd step in to mediate.

He really didn't expect the other side to be so ruthless, wiping out the director's department in one go and dragging the top leaders half-dead.

"Kiki-chan, tell me your location. I'll send someone over to treat them," he said helplessly.

"Ah, is that okay?" Saki asked, "Won't they figure out you're on my side then?"

"Doesn't matter. If they know, they know," Gojo was too concerned to care anymore.

Hearing that, Saki didn't say more and quickly gave the hospital's address, mostly because she worried about those people's safety.

Half an hour later, Ieiri Shoko arrived at the hospital with Yaga Masamichi.

The former was a rare reversal technique user, currently the only person in the jujutsu world who could use Reverse Cursed Technique on others. The latter was the current principal of the Tokyo Jujutsu High.

They already knew the situation from Gojo and, after arriving, quickly checked on the eight higher-ups. Once they confirmed everyone was still alive, they sighed in relief.

Ieiri immediately began the treatment.

Saitama went out to buy drinks, and Saki stood by the whole time feeling guilty and didn't dare to say a word.

Until her phone rang, she answered and, still feeling guilty, quietly said to the person on the other end, "I want it iced, 70% sugar, and add popping boba."

Yaga and Ieiri both instinctively looked over.

"Y-You guys want some too?" Saki asked awkwardly.

Yaga and Ieiri shook their heads at the same time and looked away. They were honestly a bit shocked by the girl's attitude—after causing such a huge mess, she still had the mood to drink boba milk tea.

Yaga suddenly remembered Gojo's comment about the girl.

"Although her power's crazy strong, personality-wise she's just a little girl. If you spoil her a bit, she listens well, but if you piss her off, she hits back."

Saitama quickly came back with the milk tea, and the siblings grabbed small stools to sit near the door, low-key sipping their milk tea.

By this time, Ieiri had already finished treating two of them, but those two fell into a deep sleep after the treatment, and their bodies still needed rest to recover further.

Seeing this, Saki felt staying was pointless and wanted to go shoot the ad as planned in the afternoon.

—She was the kind of person who wanted to get work done as soon as possible; leaving half-done work made her uncomfortable all over.

With that in mind, she messaged Gojo to ask if she could leave.

"I told my manager I'd shoot the ad at 2 PM. Can I leave now? I'll go to the director's department tomorrow, okay?"

He replied quickly after seeing her message.

"Go ahead, don't cause trouble with Jujutsu Headquarters for now. Wait for me to come back."

Saki: "..."

She wasn't trying to cause trouble for Jujutsu Headquarters!

She started typing a fast rebuttal, but before she could finish and send it, Yaga's phone rang—it was Gojo.

After the call, Yaga glanced at the girl with a serious expression, signaling he understood.

Saki perked up and listened to their conversation, knowing Gojo was talking about her leaving. She happily got up and got ready to go.

"Well then, we're leaving. Bye," she said, grabbing her brother and running off.

After finishing the ad shoot, it was already evening. Saki didn't go straight home but bought some fruit to visit those eight unlucky guys at the hospital.

However, the eight jujutsu higher-ups had already been moved, and Yaga and Ieiri were gone too.

She asked Gojo, and once again got the answer to avoid bothering Jujutsu Headquarters for now.

Saki: "..."

She really wasn't trying to cause trouble for jujutsu higher-ups!

Super annoyed, Saki had no choice but to let the matter rest for the time being.

The siblings ate dinner outside and then went home.

The unconscious people by the door were gone—maybe taken away by their companions or maybe they woke up and left on their own. Either way, it saved them the trouble.

Back home, Saki immediately collapsed on the couch, totally exhausted—mentally drained.

"Sukuna, it's all your fault," she couldn't help but complain.

Ryomen Sukuna, in a rare good mood today, asked back, "What? Did I make you eat the finger? Did I tell you to hit those people?"

Saki: "..."

What the heck? That feeling when you're clearly in the wrong.

"No, no, it's definitely your fault," Saki quickly found her logic again. "If it weren't for your bad reputation, everyone wouldn't be so scared you're going to do something bad. I wouldn't be in this mess right now."

"That's your problem. You could've killed those guys easily but chose to keep them alive to cause yourself trouble. Who else can you blame?" Sukuna teased.

He'd seen the girl throw serious punches before and knew she hadn't put any real effort into hitting anyone today.

"Killing is illegal. I'm a law-abiding citizen," Saki shot back.

"You're really boring." Sukuna chuckled lightly. "You clearly have the power to set the rules, yet you cater to those weaklings. You clearly have the power to do whatever you want, but you willingly restrain yourself with all these rules."

"Day after day, you just waste your time on meaningless stuff."
