Chapter 21

＊＊＊

"Itadori." Sukuna turned her head and looked at Yuji who was holding a fish knife. Her dark red eyes facing away from the light did not hide her dissatisfaction after being offended.

Yuji looked left and right, and his head was a little confused.
On the right was Miss Sukuna's extremely dissatisfied eyes, "If you don't lend it, you're done", and on the left was Gojo-sensei who was caught eating and drinking water like crazy. Because his eyes were covered by a blindfold, but with his vivid expression, Yuji could also guess the trust behind the eye mask that said, "Yuji, sensei is so good to you, you will definitely not betray sensei, right?"

Now, should he lend his body to Miss Sukuna?

Facing the strange, difficult situation, Yuji's smile on his face was almost gone.

Fortunately, this terrible deadlock was broken a little by other students.

"Scum teacher." Nobara stabbed her teacher unceremoniously.

"It sucks." Following closely behind was Megumi, who couldn't bear to watch.

The confident Satoru was immune to the sarcasm of other students, and he didn't know how to live or die and acted like a spoiled child towards Sukuna, who was almost materializing with murderous aura, "Sukuna-chan~ You definitely won't be mad at me for such a bad ice cream, right~"

Yuji felt goose bumps all over his body when he heard the sharp and delicate voice. Seeing that Sukuna was temporarily confused by this unprecedented mental attack, he quickly made peace, "Gojo-sensei, you gave Miss Sukuna the ice cream before, Miss Sukuna likes it very much, why don't you go get some more?"

Just as an apology to Miss Sukuna.

Miss Sukuna couldn't stay far away from him, so he could only beg Gojo-sensei to stay away from this battlefield quickly, otherwise if the two of them fought, there would be no dinner for today.

Satoru, whose lips had turned red from the spiciness, found the highlight and happily gave a thumbs up, "Sukuna-chan, I have a great eye for choosing delicious food, right!"

"Wait, Gojo-sensei will go get an ice cream that is 10,000 times more delicious than this!"

Although Satoru did not live in Tokyo Technical College, he still had a dessert warehouse specially opened in the technical college, and he was absolutely guaranteed to correct Sukuna's weird taste.

When Satoru came back, a group of students had already started eating lively.

Sukuna and Yuji sat on the same side of the square table.

"Hey, Miss Sukuna, this is made with Itadori's secret recipe!"

"And this crab is made according to Miss Sukuna's favorite food show, super delicious!"

Megumi and Nobara sat on the other two sides. After a busy day, the two people were eating like crazy while smelling the aroma of food.

Nobara said happily while eating, "So this is the taste of money!"

When Ijichi saw Satoru coming, he had already skillfully covered his rice with a layer of food, and then quickly retreated to the corner to leave a place for Satoru.

After Satoru threw the ice cream into the refrigerator, he also happily joined the food scramble.

"Gojo-sensei, this is your technique! It's definitely your technique!" Yuji watched the last piece of Kobe beef disappear in an instant, "Too cunning!!!"

"Hehehe~" The unscrupulous teacher who had eaten and drunk enough ignored the students' angry eyes, while happily eating the ice cream he brought, and also took one for Sukuna-chan, successfully getting a place to sit next to Sukuna, letting a group of students jumped up and down but unable to do anything to him.

Then, he restrained the smile on his face, "I heard about the Maple Mountain incident from others before, but I still want to know from you what happened today."

"We were unlucky this time!" Yuji didn't know much about the world of curses, and simply attributed the disparity in strength this time to an accident.

Standing up, he smiled and vividly showed Satoru the situation at that time, and also brought some series of onomatopeia, "Kugisaki's nails 'bang bang bang'..."

"Fushiguro's snake 'swish swish swish'..."

The exaggerated body performance made the other two high school students turn their heads away, thinking that they didn't know him.

"Then after I fell into the cave, I really thought I was going to die..." Yuji seemed to have returned to the depths of the cave, and once again experienced the despair of being surrounded by curses and the pain of being seriously injured.

For him, it was definitely not a pleasant experience.

"But Miss Sukuna is really amazing. I thought my arm was really broken. I was thinking that it was fortunately my left arm, and my dominant hand is my right hand..." Yuji shook her intact left arm, "Then after Fushiguro rescued me, I found that there was no scar left!"

"Oh, I understand the situation very well!" Satoru took the last bite of ice cream and glanced at Sukuna who was still sucking the ice cream slowly.

He had to admit that at this time, this woman didn't look like the King of Curses, but a delicate noble lady raised by a big family.

However, this kind of noble lady Sukuna was only limited to eating. At other times, such as when she was fighting for food just now, she was still very fierce.

Why did she show the Reverse Cursed Technique so directly?

What made Satoru more alert was that maybe she made Yuji agree to some kind of restraint at that moment. Satoru scratched his hair, feeling that he couldn't see through Sukuna's mind at all. He was not good at beating around the bush and wanted to bring an old orange to confront Sukuna.

"There is just one question I don't understand..." Satoru came to Sukuna, with a bit of inquiry in his expression. He couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly, "Sukuna-chan, why did you treat Yuji?"

"Even if you treated Yuji, Gojo-sensei, who is clear about rewards and punishments, won't let you eat with your fingers!"

Sukuna saw that the ice cream was finished, so she gave Satoru a look, "Because if I don't have the left hand, it will be very inconvenient."

She was more used to using her left hand, that's all.

Instantly, the entire dormitory was quiet.

Satoru tilted his head, and stared at Sukuna with his Six Eyes, trying to find evidence that she was lying, "Really?"

Sukuna raised her face, and her breathing was not disordered at all.
Her eyes were open and frank under her long cherry-pink hair, reflecting Satoru's face as she approached, and she answered seriously, "Really."
She didn't understand, what else could it be except this reason?

"No enchains?" Satoru couldn't help being shocked.

"What are enchains?" Sukuna was genuinely confused.

The Six Eyes clearly portrayed Sukuna in Satoru's mind, the King of Curses in front of him was arrogant and didn't bother to lie at all.

She just saved Yuji for such a simple and crude reason, and she really knew nothing about binding.

She didn't hide her selfishness at all, and she didn't want to play a kind "person" that met the cognition of the high school. She was always being herself, using a frank and shocking statement, which was unexpected.

At this moment, Satoru seemed to see another self, which was the strongest pride.

That's a very Sukuna reason.
Pure and simple.

Compared to those old oranges who were hiding and lying behind the screen for their own selfish interests, it was simply... too funny...

Satoru couldn't help but cover his face and burst out laughing.

Sukuna-chan's train of thought was really cute.

Today's incident also reminded Satoru that it was an accident or man-made and it was impossible to trace it back, but according to the attitude of the old oranges today, such things would definitely happen more in the future.

So, Satoru suddenly had a brilliant idea.

What if he tied such a powerful Sukuna to his ship?

It didn't matter whether she was the King of Curses or not, as long as she was strong enough. And no one was more suitable for this role than Sukuna.

He jumped up from the sofa, "Sukuna-chan, let's play a little game."

Sukuna yawned, and her blood-red eyes slightly raised, indicating that he should speak directly.

Satoru raised a finger, "If I win, then Miss Sukuna will promise me one thing. If Miss Sukuna wins, how about giving Miss Sukuna a finger?"

"How about it?"

"Isn't it a super big discount!"

After listening to the rules of the game, Megumi just wondered if Satoru was crazy.

According to the normal procedures agreed upon by the General Directorate and the Senior Managements, the Senior Managements should keep all the collected fingers, and then feed them to Yuji in the final stage to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Nobara also realized that something was wrong, and her suspicious eyes turned between the two.

She always feel that the "little" game between these two people would cause a "big" collapse in the real world if they were not careful.

Yuji was a little surprised that Sukuna's reason for saving him was so strange. Thinking of Miss Sukuna who often used his left hand to browse his phone, eat desserts, and drink milk tea, he didn't find it strange.

Sukuna was also surprised. Sukuna, who never thought she would lose, began to wonder why Satoru wanted to please her at this time.

Satoru, who also didn't think she would lose, thought Sukuna was hesitating, and immediately fanned the flames, "Sukuna-chan, you won't be scared, right? Don't worry, it's not related to Miss Sukuna's life safety, it's just a small matter~a small matter~"

Sukuna needed a finger, but one finger was harmless, so she didn't think it was a big bet, at most it was a game to digest food after a meal. Moreover, even if Sukuna's expression didn't change, he knew very well that a small flame of wanting to win was ignited in her heart.

From the day she was born, she was used to others keeping a distance from her and treating her like a god, except for the first disciple who brought her up. This was the first time she encountered a request for play initiated by someone else.

She had never met the strongest person who could play games with her on an equal footing.

"Okay, I promise you." Even though she sensed that a law from this world bound her and Satoru, Sukuna only felt more excited.

She would win!

Satoru stared at Sukuna's serious eyes, and the smile on his lips became more genuine.

Three seconds later, Satoru climbed into the window and brought a chess box.

Seeing Sukuna looking at the colorful chess pieces with a curious and ignorant look, Satoru put his hands on his waist and smiled, "Because Sukuna-chan doesn't understand a lot, and I don't like those serious ones, so let's play..." Satoru raised the chess box and added the "clang clang clang" bgm.

"What?" Sukuna's eyes also became brighter as Satoru smiled brilliantly.

"Everyone must go through the chess game of growth— Ludo!"
