The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 60

Saki didn't care what Mahito thought. While he was busy healing them, she and her brother started pestering the jujutsu higher-ups about the delivery time for those ingredients.

"Can they get here today? We wanna eat them today."

"If not all of it, then just send part of it over first."

"It has to be fresh, okay? If it's not fresh, we're not taking it."

The director was so angry he could barely breathe—he had to keep consciously inhaling and exhaling, looking like he was about to pass out.

Saki saw this and instantly panicked, quickly shouting, "Mahito, save this one first, save this one! He hasn't arranged our seafood delivery yet!"

At her words, the director truly ran out of breath and fainted on the spot.

Mahito: "..."

Even he was starting to feel a little bad for these people. Yeah, no one ever came out on top going up against those siblings.

...

After leaving the Jujutsu Headquarters, Saki headed to the hospital to visit the Inugane group.

Since the dr*g was targeted at jujutsu sorcerers, the Inugane group wasn't in serious danger. They had only been knocked out for a couple of hours. But since the doctors couldn't figure out the cause, they suggested staying a few days for observation.

When Saki got there, she spilled everything that had happened in the jujutsu world.

Even though sorcerers weren't supposed to casually reveal things about the jujutsu world to regular people, that rule was made by the jujutsu higher-ups. Had nothing to do with her.

She told them not to worry and promised something like this wouldn't happen again.

The Inugane group was pretty chill about it, too. After hearing her say that, they all really did relax—and even checked out of the hospital that same day.

—As people who'd once gotten their butts kicked, they had zero doubts that Saki was invincible.

After everything that went down today, no one was really in the mood to work. Even Inugane Onimanjirou, who usually loved wringing every drop out of his employees, gave everyone the day off for once.

So Saki brought Saitama, Mahito, and Uraume back home with her.

By evening, all the rare seafood the siblings had been dreaming about was delivered—brought over personally by Gojo and his staff.

"Kiki-chan, you're seriously the best. You should've seen the looks on those old guys' faces—every single one of them was popping blood pressure meds," Gojo said the moment he stepped through the door, unable to hold back his glee.

He was genuinely in a great mood today. Partly because the higher-ups had gotten wrecked again, and he just enjoyed watching them suffer. But more than that, it was the list of binding vows the girl had made the higher-ups agree to.

He hadn't expected her to add one just for him—prohibiting the higher-ups from messing with him anymore. She must've remembered what happened before.

Not that he really cared what the Jujutsu Headquarters did. At most, those guys just ran their mouths; they never had the guts to actually do anything. Still, it felt nice to know someone had him in mind.

"Yeah?" Saki replied half-heartedly, then bolted over to where the staff were hauling in box after box of seafood.

Saitama ran over too, both siblings' eyes lighting up like Christmas.

Gojo couldn't help but laugh a little at the sight, not minding her brush-off at all.

In total, the staff brought in over twenty boxes of seafood—way too much for the fridge, but that wasn't a problem. Uraume's technique was Ice Formation, so freezing all that seafood was no big deal.

Honestly, Uraume was crushing it in their role as household assistant—just straight-up perfection.

Saki planned to give half of it to the Inugane group the next day and keep the rest to enjoy slowly. But tonight? A full-on seafood feast.

Uraume didn't disappoint. They whipped up a killer seafood spread, and Gojo naturally stuck around to mooch a meal. Everyone ate like kings and had the best time.

...

The jujutsu higher-ups was nothing if not efficient.

Two days later, a Tokyo Dome rep reached out to Inugane Project, saying they were ready to offer the venue for her concert—date to be set depending on her schedule.

Saki suddenly felt a little regretful. She regretted making the higher-ups promise not to mess with her anymore.

If they wanted to come after her, let them. It wasn't like she ever lost anything—and in return, she got so much good stuff for free. Honestly, that was a pretty sweet deal.

Too bad it was too late to take it back. Still, she wasn't one to dwell on things. Knowing her next concert would be at the Tokyo Dome, she threw herself completely into getting ready for it.

The company had originally planned to release a new song first and do the concert later. But now that the Tokyo Dome was confirmed, they decided to flip the plan—she'd debut the new song at the concert instead.

So, for the next stretch of time, her life was just back and forth between home and the company. All fun stuff was canceled.

Then one afternoon, she suddenly got a call from Kugisaki Nobara.

Saki was a little surprised.

Kugisaki Nobara and Itadori Yuji would sometimes check in, but usually just with a holiday message or something after one of her public appearances. They were always careful not to bother her. A phone call? This was the first ever.

She picked up right away, and after hearing the explanation and request from the other end, she agreed without a second thought.

"Hang tight. I'm coming over right now."

The reason Kugisaki called was to ask Saki for help—but not for herself. It was about Fushiguro Megumi.

Their first-year group had gotten a mission today. But after heading out to investigate, they realized the curse involved Fushiguro's sister, Fushiguro Tsumiki. And once they looked deeper into it, they found the danger level was way above what they could handle.

Technically, what they should do now was back off and wait for a higher-grade sorcerer to take over. But all the Grade 1 sorcerers were already tied up with other missions and couldn't spare the time. It was about his family, though—Fushiguro just couldn't sit around and wait.

To make things worse, Gojo happened to be out of town for work and wouldn't be back until next week. With no one else to turn to, the only person they could think of was Saki.

Gojo had actually told them before: if anything ever got out of hand while he was away, they could reach out to Saki for help.

As soon as the call ended, Saki got moving.
