Yuji noticed something's wrong with Sachiko today. Ever since she came home yesterday, she's been quite and just playing with her necklace. The necklace came from Sachiko's father. It's the
one thing he left for her.
"Sachiko-chan is something wrong?"
The girl lifted her head, meeting Yuji's gaze as she nodded, not wanting to worry the pink-haired boy further.
They were currently eating at the bakeshop where Satoru took her whenever their spending time with each other.
"I noticed that the curse inside of you isn't troubling you, opposite of what Satoru-nii had told me"
Yuji happily shakes his head.
"I notice that too! But it's kinda scary"
Sachiko tilted her head confused.
"It's like he's planning something bad"
Just as Yuji said those words, a mouth pop on his right cheek.
"๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ค๐ข๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ ๐'๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฏ'๐ต ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ ๐'๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฅ, ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ข๐ต"
Sachiko curiously pokes the mouth, as Sukuna bites her finger making Sachiko giggled like nothing happened, and returned to her seat.
"๐๐ข๐ต๐ค๐ฉ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ง๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ฆ๐ณ'๐ด ๐จ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐น๐ต ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ, ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐'๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ ๐ช๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง๐ง ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ"
Sachiko ignored his warning and offered a spoon of cake towards Sukuna, motioning him to open his mouth.
"Umhh... This is kinda awkward..." Yuji sweatdropped, seeing the scene unfold.
"Come on gramps, I'm being nice here. Just open your mouth"
Sukuna clicked his tongue in annoyance and accepted the cake, munching it as Sachiko chuckles.
"๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต'๐ด ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ. ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐ง๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ข๐ต"
Sachiko just smiled and give the king of curses some cake, spoon-feeding him as Yuji ignore the scene, eating his cake also. It's a good thing that they were inside a private room or people will freak out, seeing a girl feeding a mouth that randomly pops out of a kid's cheek.
"So... Sukuna, why did you keep quite for the past days?" Yuji asked, munching his food.
"๐ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ๐ท๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ฃ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ง๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ข๐ต. ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฏ'๐ต ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ฉ๐ช๐จ๐ถ๐ณ๐ฐ ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด"
"I can say the same way to you as well gramps," Sachiko boredly said, waiting for another cake she ordered because someone ate all her cake.
"๐'๐ฎ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ค๐ถ๐ณ๐ด๐ฆ๐ด. ๐'๐ฎ ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ, ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฆ๐น๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ค๐ข๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ ๐'๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ณ-"
"And you're old. I assure you, gramps, you don't interest me. Not one bit" Sachiko smiled teasingly.
Yuji once again lets them argue and continues to eat. ๐๐ต๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ต ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฐ-๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ด ๐ง๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ.
"๐'๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต of ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ" Sukuna groaned, annoyed by Sachiko's remarks.
"Well, see you soon gramps! Don't miss me so much!" Sachiko wave her hands at Sukuna which the king of curses ignored her, making the girl pout a
little.
After a few minutes, Sachiko's order arrived, making the girl's eyes under the mask sparkle.
"Sachiko-chan... are you sure you're gonna eat all of that?"
Yuji blankly looks, pointing at the two-layered cake in front of them.
The girl dismissed the waiter, as she giddily eyed the cake and faced Yuji.
"WE'RE eating this cake, not just me Yuji! We'll if Sukuna was here, I'm sure he'll enjoy this"
Upon mentioning the cake, the king of curses magically appeared again, startling the Yuji and making Sachiko smile widely.
"๐๐ช ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ด, ๐จ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ค๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ"

"Niisan said you can stay for another week at my place Yuji"
"REALLY!" Yuji exclaimed as the girl nodded at him, feeding Sukuna again.
The two of them we're constantly feeding the king of curses. Sachiko finds it amusing seeing the king of curses eat.
"Wanna grab some ramen after this?"
Yuji happily shakes his head, agreeing. ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ! ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ง๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ. He mentally cried.
They soon left the place, paying with Satoru's credit card, and head towards a newly opened ramen shop that Yuji suggested. He and Nanami eat in this ramen shop yesterday after their mission together.
"This is a nice place," Sachiko said feeling the cozy atmosphere of the place.
Yuji hummed, scanning through the menu as Sachiko told him to order for the two of them.
The white-haired girl heard someone arguing beside them loudly. She turned her face towards the noise, wondering about what they were arguing about.
"Baji-san... I don't know what will do to you. 2 x 2 = and you answered ten!" A blond boy with an undercut slumped his back to the chair as the Baji kid proudly crossed his arms.
"Seriously? How can you still be proud of that?"
The black-haired boy just grinned, showing his canine teeth.
"Mom said that be confident in yourself. Come on Chifuyu! It's not that bad!"
Sachiko stifled a laugh, not wanting to catch their attention.
"Actually Baji-san it is super bad. Look, you almost got zero scores in every test. Pah-chin and Peh were even doing better than you"
"Tch, teach me then"
The male named Chifuyu deadpanned at the male, sighing loudly. "That's what I was doing for the past week. You're hopeless Baji-san"
"Just this once, Chifuyu... I don't want to upset my mother"
Another sigh came from Chifuyu. "Fine, let's go to my place"
Sachiko heard the sound of chairs moving, as the two males walk past them.
"Sachiko-chan? Are you listening?"
The white-haired girl nodded at the male in front of her.
"Oh... you're the noisy kid together with that anemic dude from yesterday," the waiter said, eyeing Yuji and Sachiko.
Yuji smiled apologetically at the waiter. "Can we please have the one I had yesterday?"
The waiter nodded and left them, with a confused Sachiko.
"What does he mean by you being noisy yesterday?"
"๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ข๐ต'๐ด ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฏ whining ๐ข๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐จ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ข ๐ด๐ถ๐ด๐ฉ๐ช ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ. ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏ'๐ต ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต"
Sukuna appeared to which Yuji immediately covered his right cheek.
"You're making Nanamin age faster if you continue that" Sachiko laughed.
Yuji pouted, hearing Sachiko's nickname for Nanami.
"Does he let you call him Nanamin?"
Sachiko nodded and place her hand on top of the table, with her face resting on top of her arm.
"Yep, that's what I call him ever since he babysitted me"
Hearing Sachiko's statement, Yuji pouted and rested his face on the table.
"The favoritism is so obvious. I called him Nanamin yesterday and he said he'll slap me if I call him that nickname"
Sachiko laughed, hearing Yuji whining at her. Their food soon arrives, as Yuji eats with a heavy heart, still not over about the favoritism. And once again, another saga of Sachiko, feeding the king of curses.
