The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 79

Saitama: "Wait, is Ki-chan gonna have to get her finger ripped off too?"

"It's fine. Sukuna can use Reverse Cursed Technique to regrow it for you," Gojo said with a smile, trying to reassure them.

The siblings immediately replied in sync again, "But it'll still hurt!"

Everyone else: "......"

"Sukuna, do you have to use a finger for the cursed object? What about just using a fingernail?" Saki asked hopefully. "And not even the whole nail—just the part you can cut off."

Everyone: "......"

Ryomen Sukuna was once again too pissed to say a word.

"Why are you mad again? I'm just trying to discuss things with you," Saki complained, clearly annoyed. "If you think a fingernail's too little, I can grow it out for a while first."

"Or if nails really won't cut it, how about hair? You can have as much hair as you want."

Sukuna: "......"

"Shut up," Sukuna finally snapped, unable to take it anymore.

Saki realized he was about to explode and finally decided to drop the topic—for now. But she still muttered under her breath, "You're being totally unreasonable."

Sukuna: "......"

Who was the one being unreasonable here?! Seriously, who?!

"Kiki-chan, we can talk about the transfer process later," Gojo suddenly cut in. "Let me just confirm something first. Now that we know the method works, you're planning to separate Sukuna from your body, right? Whether or not you manage to find the cursed tool to lift the curse."

Saki instinctively nodded, then hesitated and shook her head. "If we can lift the curse, then honestly, I don't really mind. I've gotten used to having another person in my body."

Gojo raised an eyebrow, surprised by her answer. He paused a moment to find the right words. "If we can lift the curse, then for the jujutsu world, the best-case scenario would be for you to stay Sukuna's prison and keep him trapped forever."

"But that's not fair to you. So I still support separating him. Just—before you do that, make sure you set some binding vows with him. Put some restraints on what he can do. You can't just let him run wild and start killing people."

"If he refuses to agree to any restraints..." Gojo paused, and his tone turned more serious, "then you need to be prepared to kill him."

Technically, Ryomen Sukuna was the King of Curses. That made him their natural enemy—killing him was expected.

But the way Saki and Sukuna got along was beyond weird. The line between friend and enemy was all blurred now.

Gojo didn't even have to ask—he already knew Saki probably wouldn't be able to bring herself to do it. Which meant he had to give her a heads-up now, before it came down to a fight between him and Sukuna and she ended up interfering.

Saki hadn't thought that far ahead, but she was reasonable enough. After listening, she nodded and promised, "Got it. I'll make sure Sukuna agrees to binding vows."

Gojo saw that she understood the seriousness of it and relaxed a little. Then he casually followed up, "So the body we'll clone for him—Yuji's, right?"

"Yours," came Sukuna's voice from the Inner Domain.

"We haven't agreed on anything yet. Sukuna still wants mine," Saki said honestly.

Basically, nothing had been settled at all.

"Kiki-chan, absolutely do not use your body. And not your brother's either," Gojo said firmly the moment he heard that. "That's the one thing you absolutely cannot compromise on, no matter what."

"Okay." Saki nodded obediently.

"The rest, you and Sukuna can—argue, I mean, talk it out yourselves. Just let me know once it's settled," Gojo said, making it clear he had no intention of getting involved in their back-and-forth. He could already guess Sukuna wouldn't win anyway.

"Got it." Saki nodded again, then immediately turned around and dove into the Inner Domain to start arguing with Sukuna.

Gojo knew Sukuna definitely wouldn't back down easily this time, so he simply got up and left, not bothering to wait for the result.

And sure enough, Saki and Sukuna argued the entire afternoon and still didn't reach an agreement. Neither of them was willing to compromise.

Sukuna had only one demand: Saki had to provide a clone of her body.

Saki, on the other hand, had a whole list of demands.

She wanted him to make binding vows promising he wouldn't harm ordinary people or jujutsu sorcerers unless attacked first, and that he wouldn't go after anyone close to her.

She also demanded he follow modern laws—no intentionally disrupting social order or interfering with how society normally functioned.

And then she even tried to take Uraume.

"I'm used to having Uraume take care of me. Just give them to me," she said, righteously.

Sukuna: "......"

"Why don't you just go ahead and ask me to be your servant?" Sukuna snapped, his voice thick with sarcasm.

"There are no servants in the modern age," Saki declared with righteous seriousness. "But if you do want to work for me, I'll make sure you get the best treatment."

Sukuna: "......"

"Get out." The negotiation ended with Sukuna shouting in rage.

...

Saki and Sukuna reached a stalemate. Neither of them was budging, so they just argued constantly—sometimes even getting into physical fights.

Of course, Sukuna always ended up on the losing end. After all, he couldn't out-argue or out-fight her.

Gojo had expected Sukuna wouldn't cave easily, but he didn't think they'd be going at it for half a month with zero progress.

Meanwhile, the three Death Painting brothers had already transferred into their new bodies.

Considering the HQ had mobilized every available force and still failed to find a third cursed tool capable of lifting the curse, it was clear that lifting the curse wasn't going to happen. The body switch was now a necessity.

The longer this dragged on, the worse it would be for everyone—Gojo had no choice but to step in and help mediate.

"Yuji's body is actually pretty decent. The fact that he could eat your fingers and not die proves he's qualified to be your vessel," Gojo tried to persuade him.

"I only want this brat's body," Sukuna rejected flatly.

"Alright, what about Megumi, then? His potential's excellent too. He has Ten Shadows. If you reincarnate in his body, you'd get his technique as well," Gojo continued trying to reason with him.

"I only want this brat's body," Sukuna rejected again.

"Any body except Saki's or Saitama's—you can even pick mine if you want," Gojo kept trying to talk him down.

"I only want this brat's body," Sukuna repeated firmly.
