Chapter 153 - Boys Should Protect Themselves When They Go Out

Uro Sakurako's Cursed Technique is "Sky."

Through her Cursed Technique, Uro Sakurako can grasp and manipulate the "plane" of the "sky."

It's an ability similar to distorting space.

It usually manifests as her grabbing the "sky" with her hands and manipulating it like a curtain or a blanket.

Uro Sakurako, who normally doesn't wear clothes, always drapes the blanket made of sky over herself to cover her private parts.

If an enemy or an enemy's attack is within the space captured by Uro Sakurako's Cursed Technique, the attack will be distorted along with the space.

Uro Sakurako can choose to deflect the attack or simply throw it back at her opponent.

Under normal circumstances, this method of distorting space directly harms the enemy's body, which appears to be distorted.

However, Uro Sakurako can shatter the captured spatial plane like breaking thin ice by strengthening her Cursed Energy, creating a powerful attack that sends the enemy flying.

At this moment, Uro Sakurako is floating in the sky, enjoying the prosperity of the modern era while searching for a suitable vessel for Incarnation.

"What a prosperous era..."

Uro Sakurako lived in the same era as Sukuna, a thousand years ago.

Resources were scarce in that era, and obtaining food was difficult, so many people went hungry.

Now, Uro Sakurako has heard that the government is even implementing policies to manage the national weight to prevent obesity.

Uro Sakurako's gaze drifts towards the numerous snack shops on the street, like fried chicken and bubble tea places.

That golden fried chicken, the bubble tea as pink as her hair, and skewers of dumplings and octopus drizzled with sauce...

For a moment, Uro Sakurako actually felt like descending to try them.

Not to mention the octopus.

Uro Sakurako had never eaten chicken before.

About thirteen hundred years ago, an Emperor in the Island Nation issued a ban on eating meat, prohibiting the consumption of beef, horse, dog, chicken, and monkey meat.

This meat ban was not lifted until the Meiji Restoration.

So Uro Sakurako was genuinely curious about the taste of chicken.

"I heard chicken tastes better than those birds that have barely any meat."

Uro Sakurako shook her head vigorously, casting aside these chaotic thoughts.

Then, Uro Sakurako set her sights on a pale, tender-skinned little fatty holding a large KFC Family Bucket.

"This one looks like it has good potential. I can take it back as a vessel for Incarnation."

Uro Sakurako nodded.

The little fatty on the ground was unaware that he had been targeted by a woman whose eyes were practically glowing green.

He was humming a tune, happily walking home.

"Found it. It's this one."

The little fatty picked up a large, crispy fried chicken drumstick and opened his mouth to take a bite.

He didn't notice that as he passed a supermarket, he was near a dimly lit alley with poor lighting.

Crunch.

The sound of upper and lower teeth colliding echoed, and the little fatty looked down at his hand in confusion.

"Did I bite wrong? Impossible, I've been biting like this for years... Where's my chicken leg?"

The little fatty's eyes widened as he looked at his empty palm.

If it weren't for the lingering crumbs of fried chicken skin on his hand, the little fatty would have thought he was dreaming.

The next moment, a delicate hand cupped his mouth, silencing him. An irresistible force pulled him instantly into the alley.

About ten minutes later, Uro Sakurako licked her lips with a look of satisfaction, then picked up the little fatty, who was foaming at the mouth, and brought him back to the Barrier.

The next day, the supermarket owner was reviewing the security footage from outside his store and saw something remarkable.

A little fatty, carrying a backpack, with clear yet slightly foolish eyes, was eagerly pulled into an alley by a naked woman who rushed out from the alley behind the supermarket.

Because the woman moved so quickly and forcefully, the surveillance camera only captured her pink hair and a blurry back.

The surveillance camera the supermarket owner bought was just a regular one to prevent shoplifting, not the kind produced by Eiji's laboratory that could see Cursed Techniques.

Therefore, Uro Sakurako's body, concealed by her Cursed Technique, was effectively... concealed for nothing in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Gulp."

The supermarket owner swallowed, his face flushing slightly.

He quickly switched the camera feed to the back alley view.

Unfortunately, the back alley camera was pointed at the supermarket's back door.

The corner of the supermarket was not fully captured by the camera.

All the supermarket owner could see was a final shot of Uro Sakurako's face, wearing a satisfied smile, as she was captured by the camera while leaving, carrying the little fatty.

"So... scary..."

"Boss, the shipment's here today. Huh? What were you saying?"

"Scary. I said it's scary."

Seeing the delivery guy suddenly enter the store, the supermarket owner quickly changed his words.

"Scary? Did something happen? Don't tell me your store got robbed again."

The delivery guy looked at the owner with concern.

"No, we weren't robbed."

The owner immediately denied it.

Then, the owner took a good look at this handsome young man who was working part-time to earn money by delivering goods every morning.

Now that I look at him, this kid is quite handsome. Definitely more so than that chubby guy from last night.

"Um... is there anything wrong with what I'm wearing today?"

The delivery guy felt uncomfortable under the owner's gaze.

It felt like the owner was trying to see right through him.

Could the boss be into me...?

The delivery guy felt a bit uneasy.

"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to remind you of something."

"What is it?"

Seeing the owner's gaze return to normal, the delivery guy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yamamoto."

"Hm?"

"When you're out and about, a boy needs to protect himself, especially someone as good-looking as you."

The supermarket owner advised him earnestly.

He couldn't help but pat the delivery guy's shoulder as he finished speaking.

"Ah? Okay, I'll be careful. Let's unload the goods first, though."

The boss really is into me. No, it's dangerous to stay here. I need to request a change of delivery area from my supervisor today!

The delivery guy unloaded the goods the supermarket needed to restock as quickly as possible, then immediately twisted the handlebars to the max.

His electric bike sped away from the supermarket area at top speed.

"In such a hurry, must be the energy of youth."

The owner smiled, watching the delivery guy disappear rapidly down the street.

Then he began restocking the shelves.

Inside the barrier by the sea.

The sun had already risen above the horizon; the night had passed.

Uro Sakurako dropped off the last person and returned to the barrier to rest.

It wasn't that Uro Sakurako was tired, but that there were too many people during the day, making it inconvenient for her to abduct them.

"Caught over a dozen in one night. Well done, Sakurako."

Tamamo-no-Mae, who was controlling Cursed Spirits through the Sanzu River's Cursed Technique, approached Uro Sakurako, looking with satisfaction at the dozen or so people destined for Incarnation.

"Do you have money?"

"Money?"

Tamamo-no-Mae looked at Uro Sakurako in confusion.

"Yes, money."

"I do. How much do you need?"

"..."

How much does a bucket of fried chicken cost?

Uro Sakurako's mind raced, trying to recall the numbers on the billboards.

"Give me five... thousand yen first."

Mid-sentence, Uro Sakurako worried that one bucket of fried chicken wouldn't be enough, so she decided to ask for more.

"Here you go."

Tamamo-no-Mae handed over five banknotes.

She didn't care about money at all; the Sanzu River had obtained quite a lot by casually dealing with a few organized crime groups back then.
