The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 64

Prev | Directory | Next

Sukuna suddenly felt like something was stuck in his chest—he couldn't breathe it in or out. Instead of feeling pleased by the girl's obedience, he just felt like it was stupid of him to make such a demand in the first place.

"Come on, help us out. You're the best," the girl kept pleading, her tone unmistakably sweet and teasing.

She didn't feel awkward saying things like that. After all, as a little sister, she'd often acted spoiled around her brother, and as an idol, she was no stranger to acting cutesy with fans either.

Sukuna was quiet for a few seconds. Then suddenly, all interest in giving her a hard time vanished, and he directly laid out his real condition, "Eat all the fingers you're holding, and I'll help you."

Saki's smile vanished in an instant. She shot him an annoyed look and scolded, "You just ate one today."

Sukuna didn't say a word—his stance was crystal clear. That was the deal.

Saki started seriously debating whether or not to say yes. It wasn't like she was scared of eating the fingers. If Gojo hadn't drilled it into her to avoid doing that, she probably would've agreed without a second thought.

"I can eat one more. If you're not cool with that, then forget it. Once we find Kenjaku, we can just force him to take the cursed object out," she offered.

Fushiguro Megumi, who was standing nearby, immediately understood what was going on—Ryomen Sukuna could extract the cursed object, but he wanted Saki to consume another finger in return.

He pressed his lips together, unsure of what to say.

Sukuna had been about to turn her down, but then—

"If you say no, I'll bother you every day inside the Innate Domain," the girl threatened sweetly.

"Fine," he agreed without hesitation.

One finger was whatever. Honestly, once this door was opened, she'd probably use fingers as a bargaining chip whenever she needed help from him in the future.

Saki was caught off guard by how fast he gave in. For a second, she felt like she'd been ripped off.

—Wait, did I not need to eat the finger at all? Could I have just threatened to bug him daily from the start?

But the words were already out of her mouth, and she didn't feel like renegotiating. The faster they got this done, the sooner she could go home and sleep.

Still, she wasn't planning to eat the finger right there.

"I'm eating it when I get home. I'm at least gonna boil it or something—no way I'm eating it raw with who-knows-how-much bacteria on it. You help her first."

Sukuna: "......"

He honestly felt like this girl was going to be the death of him. To avoid dying from sheer frustration, he cut her off sharply, "Give me the body."

Saki obediently handed over control.

As soon as Sukuna took over, his entire aura shifted. Black markings spread across the body, and a second pair of eyes snapped open under the first.

Uraume, watching from the side, looked visibly moved and couldn't help calling out, "Lord Sukuna."

"Mm." Sukuna responded lazily as he stepped toward the hospital bed.

Mahito, who had been standing beside it, immediately backed away without a word—retreating all the way across the room like he wished he could wait outside.

Fushiguro stayed frozen where he was, forcing himself not to move despite the fear, his eyes locked on Sukuna.

Sukuna ignored them both and reached out, pressing his hand to Tsumiki's abdomen.

"What are you gonna do?" Saki asked curiously.

The next second, a sharp slash split open Tsumiki's stomach. Sukuna stuck his hand inside and pulled the cursed object right out.

Saki was instantly horrified.

"No! She's supposed to stay alive! I need her alive! Taking the cursed object out isn't enough!" she screamed, totally losing it.

"Shut up. You're so damn noisy," Sukuna snapped, rubbing his temple like she was giving him a headache, then started using Reversed Cursed Technique on Tsumiki.

The wound on her abdomen began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her lost blood quickly replenished itself.

Saki went quiet.

Sukuna's Reversed Cursed Technique was insanely powerful—way stronger than Ieiri, who the higher-ups treated like the school's healing prodigy. Injuries like this were nothing to him. Even severed limbs? He could regrow them like it was nothing.

He easily brought someone who was on the verge of death back to life, then handed control of the body back to the girl and returned to the Innate Domain.

As soon as Saki took over again, the first thing she did was check Tsumiki's wound carefully. After confirming it had completely healed and her breathing and pulse were normal, with no sign of danger, she let out a long, relieved breath.

For a second there, she'd really thought she'd killed someone.

Fushiguro felt the same—he'd thought his sister was a goner too.

"Hah. Seeing your reaction now, I kinda regret not letting her die," Sukuna suddenly said.

Saki's fist clenched. She took a deep breath, then stormed into the Innate Domain to beat him up on the spot.

What a jerk!

...

Saki didn't dwell on the whole Fushiguro sibling situation, or the thing with the Death Paintings. By the next day, she was fully back to work.

To her, it was just a minor side quest—idol life was the real priority.

But that evening, when she got back from the company, she found a strange man collapsed in the hallway outside her apartment. He was covered in blood and clutching five of Sukuna's fingers tightly in his hand.

What the hell?!

Saki jumped in shock but still immediately dragged him inside and called Mahito over to heal him.

While Mahito worked on him, she also had Uraume clean the guy's face.

He was... decently good-looking, aside from a thick horizontal black line across his nose. His hairstyle, though—middle-parted choppy bangs with spiky twin ponytails blasting into the air—was just not it.

Totally not her vibe.

"Kiki, this guy's an incarnated body too," Mahito reported.

Saki frowned at that but didn't stop him from continuing the treatment. She figured she'd question the guy once he woke up, then toss him to Gojo.

And sure enough, didn't matter if they were sorcerers, curses, or incarnated bodies—these people were ridiculously hard to kill.

The guy woke up just a few minutes after being treated.

The second he opened his eyes, he tensed up and looked around, gaze scanning past Uraume and Mahito before finally landing on Saki.

Without waiting for her to ask anything, he got straight to the point, "I'm Choso, older brother of Eso and Kechizu. I came here to ask you to spare my younger brothers."
