The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 66

So Saki threw herself into rehearsals. Every day she showed up at the agency at 8 a.m., practiced until 8 p.m., then went home to shower, do her skincare, and crash.

After grinding hard like this for two weeks, the concert was finally held as scheduled.

The day before the concert, Gojo got hit with an emergency mission. He'd promised to go see the show, but now he had to cancel and rush off to the mission site overnight.

That gave him a nagging bad feeling—like something might go wrong at the concert. But then he remembered: this was Saki and Saitama we were talking about.

Who in their right mind would mess with that Super Saiyan-level sibling duo? And during Saki's most important concert, no less. That'd just be asking to die.

Once he realized that, he chilled out and focused on his business trip.

Still, just in case, he arranged for all the available students from Jujutsu High to go to the concert. If something really did happen, they could step in to protect the crowd.

When the concert day finally came, Saki headed to the Tokyo Dome early in the morning and personally double-checked every part of the setup to make sure nothing could go wrong.

She checked the stage setup and props, made sure all the equipment was working fine, did fitting and adjustments for all the stage outfits, and confirmed there were no issues with the costumes. She even ran two rehearsals that afternoon.

Saitama, Uraume, and Choso all got pulled into helping out and were basically treated like staff, running around non-stop under her orders.

Meanwhile, Mahito quietly slipped away from everyone and sent out a clone to search for and contact his old allies. It had been a while since he last got in touch with them, and he knew they were planning something big today.

Back when Gojo was rarely home, Saki and Saitama never noticed his sneaky moves. Even if Sukuna or Uraume noticed, they wouldn't say anything. He could send out clones freely and keep in contact with the others. But now, with the Choso and his brothers around, he didn't dare make any bold moves.

At 6:00 p.m., fans started entering the venue. Saki had already changed into her first performance outfit, and the makeup artist was putting the finishing touches on her look, sticking sparkling crystals at the corners of her eyes.

At 6:20, Itadori and Kugisaki came backstage to wish her luck and told her that a bunch of students from Jujutsu High were here too.

By 6:30, most of the fans had arrived. Saki's stage makeup was done, and she started warming up her voice backstage and filmed a short interview clip while she was at it.

At 6:50, the entire venue was packed. Saitama led Choso and the others to their seats in the front row.

At exactly 7:00 p.m., the lights dimmed. Saki got ready to step onto the stage.

Fans started screaming and cheering—but in the same moment, Saki's pupils shrank. In the dark, she saw a cursed spirit suddenly appear mid-air.

At the same time, dozens more cursed spirits burst up from underground.

"Brother!" Saki shouted instinctively.

A second later, Saitama leapt up and punched the airborne cursed spirit, sending it flying. The roof of the venue shattered open with a massive hole.

Saki sprang into action too. She quickly told her manager to start evacuating the audience, then rushed toward the nearest cursed spirit and punched its head into pieces. The spirits vanished instantly.

Fueled by rage, she finally figured out how to use cursed energy.

The students from Jujutsu High in the audience also jumped into action, protecting the crowd and exorcising spirits. Fushiguro tried contacting outside help, but the signal had already been jammed.

Though Kinoshita didn't know exactly what was going on, the giant hole in the roof told him it was serious. He didn't ask questions—he immediately started evacuating fans.

But after a moment of initial confusion, the audience broke into chaos as fights broke out across the venue, making an orderly evacuation almost impossible.

That was when second-year Inumaki jumped on stage and grabbed the mic to direct the crowd. His cursed speech technique turned his words into binding commands.

Seeing this, Saki finally breathed a little easier and kept exorcising cursed spirits while protecting the fans trying to escape.

She was incredibly fast, her body practically a blur. Most people couldn't even see her, though some occasionally felt a foot land on their shoulder as she launched herself forward.

Thanks to everyone working together, tens of thousands of fans were evacuated within just ten minutes—but once they made it outside, they all froze.

At that moment, the entire area within several hundred meters of the Tokyo Dome was shrouded in a black curtain, and cursed spirits were everywhere on the streets.

Multiple cars had crashed, traffic was completely paralyzed, and the streets were filled with the sound of blaring horns and panicked shouting.

"How dare that guy!" This was the first time Saki had ever been this furious.

"It's okay, Ki-chan. Just take out all the enemies," Saitama said as he gently patted his sister's shoulder in comfort. Then he vanished in a blink, moving back into action with a cursed tool he'd casually borrowed from Fushiguro.

Saki took a deep breath and started sweeping through the curtain, exorcising all the cursed spirits while also keeping an eye out for the mastermind.

"Need a hand?" Sukuna suddenly asked with a grin, clearly in a great mood.

"No." Saki turned him down without hesitation, snapping at him, "This is all your fault. I'll deal with you when we get home."

"You'll be begging me later," Sukuna replied with absolute certainty.

Saki ignored him and focused on eliminating the spirits.

The siblings moved fast—both operating at supersonic speeds, taking out each enemy in a single blow.

If the cursed spirits inside the curtain were marked with red dots on a map like in a video game, anyone watching would've seen those red dots disappearing at a ridiculous pace.

If Kenjaku hadn't released so many cursed spirits, the two of them probably could've ended the whole battle in under three minutes.

But as most of the spirits were exorcised, a stronger and stronger sense of dread crept up on Saki. Something didn't feel right. She couldn't believe Kenjaku would go to all this trouble just to ruin her concert.

She began searching for Kenjaku specifically, combing through the entire area inside the curtain—but he was nowhere to be found.

"Strange. Where the hell did that guy go?" she muttered, frowning.
