The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 56

"Nope. Watching a horror movie is only fun when you bring someone who actually gets scared," Gojo replied cheerfully.

Saki: "......"

Was he seriously this evil?

Saki actually had a pretty high tolerance for her friends' antics, so in the end, she just gave in and sat down obediently in her seat.

By the time the movie ended, she looked... surprisingly calm.

"Kiki-chan, are you sure you're scared of ghosts? You didn't look scared at all," Gojo said, sounding a little disappointed.

"There's tons of people around right now. Of course I'm not scared. But wait till it's all quiet in the middle of the night—then I'll be terrified," Saki replied bitterly.

Gojo couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha."

"If I can't sleep tonight, I'm coming to find you. Don't think you'll get any rest either," Saki said even more bitterly.

"Is it really that bad?" Gojo Satoru kept laughing.

Saki didn't want to deal with him anymore. She just stared at him mournfully, trying to guilt-trip him with her eyes.

"Okay, okay! If you really get too scared to sleep tonight, just come find me. I'll take you out for a late-night snack," Gojo quickly gave in. "Come on, I'm treating you to dessert."

Saki finally looked away and followed him to try the crème brûlée mille-feuille he'd recommended.

It really was delicious. So much so that after they finished, the two of them packed up several portions to take home so the others could try too.

...

At 10 PM, after taking a shower, Saki lay down in bed—only to start getting scared, just as she'd expected.

The moment she closed her eyes, it felt like there were ghosts all around her. She could only feel safe by wrapping herself up in her blanket like a burrito, head and all.

Even though Gojo had said she could go find him, she wasn't actually planning to.

Aside from how inappropriate it would be for a young girl to show up at a grown man's place in the middle of the night, she still wanted to get her beauty sleep. She had no interest in staying up late eating snacks.

After thinking it over, she decided she'd go ask her brother to sleep in her room instead—he'd just have to deal with camping out on the floor for a few nights. But just before she got up to go find him, a better idea suddenly came to her.

She immediately closed her eyes again and shifted her soul into Sukuna's innate domain.

"Sukuna, conjure me a bed."

"I'm too scared to sleep alone, I'm sleeping here tonight," Saki declared boldly.

For a second, Sukuna seriously wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. Then he let out a laugh—furious and disbelieving.

"You're planning to sleep in my innate domain? What do you think this place is? You come and go as you please, and now you want to sleep here?"

"Don't be stingy," Saki said, like she was totally justified. "You've been using my body for free, so what's the big deal if I crash here for a night?"

Sukuna's response was a ruthless slash.

Naturally, Saki was fine—it only took off half her nightdress, revealing her strawberry-print panties.

She didn't even get mad about it. Ever since she'd gained free access to the domain, the two of them had been fighting constantly. At this point, wardrobe malfunctions didn't faze her.

But since he'd made the first move, of course she had to fight back. Without hesitation, she gave him a solid beating.

Once that was done, she went right back to casually negotiating her sleepover.

"Your innate domain is huge. Me sleeping here doesn't take up any space."

"I'm not picky. Just give me a bed, and I'll be good."

"Please? I really don't wanna sleep alone out there. Help me out, won't you?"

Sukuna was annoyed to death, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't kick her out, and he couldn't win in a fight. In the end, he could only give in for the sake of peace and quiet.

With a wave of his hand, a bed popped into existence.

"Yay!" Saki cheered and dove onto it—then immediately complained that it was too firm. Without missing a beat, she pushed her luck again. "I'm used to soft beds."

Sukuna took a deep breath, forcing down his rising rage, and adjusted the bed until it perfectly matched the one in her bedroom.

"Wow," Saki said in awe, then continued, "Okay, now I need a blanket and a pillow. Oh, and a towel too."

Sukuna took another deep breath and conjured up a blanket, a pillow, and a towel.

Saki used the towel to wipe her feet clean, then happily climbed under the covers. She shut her eyes like she was finally ready to sleep—but after just a few seconds, she opened them again.

"I want my hugging pillow. The bear one from my bed."

Sukuna: "......"

"This is what you meant by 'just give me a bed'?" he snapped, completely losing it.

Saki went quiet for a few seconds, then mumbled under her breath, "Don't be stingy..."

Sukuna was so mad he couldn't hold it in. He swung his hand and immediately destroyed the bed he'd conjured.

Saki blinked, then without hesitation, beat him up again.

Once that was over, she demanded, once more, a bed, a blanket, a pillow, and her beloved bear hugging pillow.

Ryomen Sukuna, thoroughly defeated, caved again.

Saki finally lay down, completely satisfied—but after two fights in a row, she wasn't sleepy just yet. So she turned over and started pestering—no, chatting with Sukuna.

Seeing him sitting on a pile of corpses with that sour expression, Saki suddenly asked, "Doesn't that hurt your butt?"

Sukuna: "......"

That kicked off their third fight of the night.

"Ugh, can you not pick a fight with me every five minutes? I'm not even sleepy anymore," Saki complained.

Even though Sukuna was the one getting beat up, she was the one already running out of patience.

Lying in a pool of blood, clutching his broken ribs, Sukuna was so mad he couldn't even speak.

Meanwhile, Saki dragged her bed over to his side, sat cross-legged on it, hugging her bear-shaped body pillow, and cheerfully suggested, "Let's chat for a bit."

Sukuna closed his eyes and refused to engage.

"Ah, you're going to sleep already?"

"You're really just gonna lie there in blood without making yourself a bed? That's not healthy, y'know."

"Oh, right—you're a soul. You don't get sick."

"But still, that can't be comfortable, right? What if you roll over and choke on blood while you're sleeping?"

Sukuna opened his eyes, completely done. "Shut up."
