The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 82

Prev | Directory | Next

Catching sight of a grown man's naked body out of nowhere was a bit too much for a teenage girl like her.

Damn it, her innocence was gone!

While Saki mourned the loss of her purity in her heart, her curiosity still got the better of her, and she peeked through the cracks between her fingers for another quick glance.

Inside the inner domain, Sukuna spoke up, speechless, "What's with the whole see-no-evil act?"

—They were sharing the same body now, with all their senses linked.

Saki only remembered that little detail after the fact, awkwardly pulling her hands away from her eyes. But then she quickly switched to sounding all righteous.

"You've seen me naked like, a million times. What's the big deal if I take a look at you?"

"Heh." Sukuna let out a mocking laugh. "If you wanna look, then look. Just saying—no need to sneak peeks."

He honestly didn't care about stuff like this.

Saki: "......"

For once, she came out on the losing end of their usual bickering. She gave a small "hmph" and didn't say anything else. Her first instinct was to leave, but doing that would feel too much like running away.

So she forced herself to step into the lab, acting like she didn't care at all—but her eyes were obviously avoiding certain angles, clearly trying not to look at what she shouldn't.

"Heh." Sukuna laughed again.

Because of their cursed connection, he could feel her embarrassment, awkwardness, and even a bit of panic crystal clear. It was rare for him to have the upper hand in their back-and-forths, and he was definitely enjoying it.

Saki instantly flared up in a mix of anger and embarrassment when she heard him laugh. "Stop laughing."

Genus saw her talking to herself again but didn't question it. He just went over to the control panel and adjusted the nutrient fluid ratios.

Saki noticed what he was doing and quickly followed to watch, then suddenly asked in confusion, "Doc, wasn't it supposed to take four more days? How'd he grow up so fast?"

Compared to the little kid version from three days ago, Sukuna now had a tall, muscular build. All four of his arms were solid and strong—he looked super intimidating just standing there.

"He's not fully grown yet. Bone age is only fifteen or sixteen right now," Genus replied offhandedly.

Saki was shocked and instinctively turned to double-check. Just by eyeballing it, she could tell he was already a full head taller than her. She was 168 cm, and he had to be over 180 by now.

And he wasn't done growing? How big was this guy gonna get?

"This body is seriously perfect," Genus muttered again, unable to help himself.

Saki tuned out his rambling and let her mind drift. Soon after, she said goodbye and left the lab.

The moment she stepped out, she asked, "Sukuna, how tall were you when you were fully grown?"

"You're already huge, and with four arms, clothes are probably a pain to buy. We better get your stuff custom-made in advance."

Sukuna raised an eyebrow, totally not expecting her to care about something like that. He honestly could never keep up with how her mind worked.

Saki saw that he was taking too long to answer and pressed him, "Hey, I'm asking you a question. What, are you planning to fight me butt naked or something? That's seriously messed up."

Sukuna: "......"

"Go ask Uraume," Sukuna replied, exasperated.

He didn't know his exact height—he'd never bothered to measure it. Back then, Uraume had handled everything for him, from daily life stuff to clothing.

"Then let Uraume handle it. And other stuff too—like whatever living essentials you need," Saki decided on the spot to dump it all on Uraume.

"Oh, right, there's also the living arrangement."

"Mr. Gojo's place probably still has room. Do you mind staying with them? Or I could just buy the whole floor upstairs."

She was seriously thinking through the logistics of everything.

Sukuna couldn't hold back anymore and cut her off. "So you've already decided you're gonna win? That kind of attitude is seriously pissing me off."

He said he was annoyed, but truthfully, he wasn't actually mad—probably because deep down, he did recognize her strength.

Only the strong were worthy of speaking to him as equals.

"Of course I'll win. I trained super hard for three years—no way all that effort's going to waste," Saki said with total confidence.

Sukuna: "......"

He fell silent, suddenly remembering the fragments of her past he'd seen in that dream.

Before she turned six, she was a total little brat who did nothing but whine and act cute—she even had to be carried around by her brother when they went out. After she turned six and started elementary school, she stopped demanding to be carried, but still insisted on holding her brother's hand every time they left the house.

She finally started training at twelve. But even then, Saitama had to coax her into moving every single day, and she constantly tried to slack off and sneak breaks. The training went on for three years, and then at fifteen, one random day, she suddenly gained power that defied logic.

And she called that "effort."

...

To avoid any more awkwardness, Saki didn't go back to Dr. Genus's place. Four days later, she just had her brother bring the body home for her.

Maybe it had something to do with their souls being connected, but Saitama managed to bring Sukuna's body over directly—without even using the Prison Realm.

He casually dropped the body onto the couch and then immediately started asking weird questions.

Saitama: "Ki-chan, this guy's got two mouths. Can the one on his stomach eat stuff too? Like, if he eats with that mouth, does the food go straight to the stomach?"

Saki: "I have no idea. I asked him, but he didn't answer me."

Saitama: "And he really does have four arms. That must make showering super efficient—he could shampoo with one pair while scrubbing with the other."

Saki: "Right? I was thinking the same thing. He must be super fast at taking showers."

Sukuna: "......"

Do you two share the same single brain cell or what?

Gojo watched the overly chill siblings chatting about random nonsense and finally couldn't help interrupting. "So? Are we letting Sukuna take over the body now or what?"

"Ten tonight," Saki replied casually.

"Ten at night? Is there something special about that time?" Gojo asked curiously.

"Not really. I just usually go to bed at ten," Saki answered like it was the most natural thing in the world. "Sukuna has to knock me out to take over, so I'll just go to sleep then."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered to remind them, "Oh, and don't wake me up. Let's save the fighting for tomorrow."

Gojo: "......"
