What... what am I seeing right now?

Everything happened so fast. It was all beyond comprehension. One moment, Sukuna was fighting Mount Fuji and the next...

Is that curse... is it seriously crying right now?

"Oh, that's fucking disgusting..." Sayato grimaced, eyes trained on the crying curse.
"Stand proud. You're strong."
Sayato scoffed, imitating Sukuna's words just moments before.
"Who does he think he is. Makes me wanna puke."

During the time Sayato was mocking Sukuna, still flying above the scene, Mount Fuji went up in flames and died.

"Master Sukuna." Suddenly, someone else appeared behind Sukuna, kneeling with their head down.
"I've come to escort you."

"Who are you?" The king of curses looked over his shoulder, only for his eyes to widen in something akin to glee.
"Uraume!?"

"It's nice to see you again."

"Oh, you've got to be fucking kidding me. This fucker is still alive?!" It didn't take long for Sayato to appear right next to Sukuna as this Uraume stood to their feet.

The moment they realized they were in the presence of the queen of curses, they immediately bowed as low as they could.
"Master Sayato, it is my utmost pleasure to see you once more."

"Wait. Why is Uraume showing you more respect than me?!" Sukuna turned to glare at the female curse.

"Because I deserve more respect than you, shitface." Her eyes still fixated on the being bowing down to her.

Why do you feel that much rage towards them...?

Because I had been suspecting this vile thing being some toy that Sukuna cherished. Although this thing kept denying, saying they'd never dare.

So you don't believe either Sukuna or Uraume?

Would you? Damn it, didn't you see how happy Sukuna was just now to see this- this disgusting lump of flesh!

Okay, but-

Just as Y/n was to question the curse more, Sayato and Sukuna had turned so abruptly towards the same direction that all words were stuck in her throat.

This energy... Megumi?!

"Master Sukuna? Master Sayato?"

"I have urgent business to deal with." Sukuna said, getting ready to go help Megumi himself.

"I see..." Uraume bowed, paying respect to their retreating Master.

"It won't be much longer until I'm completely free. Don't neglect your preparations. See you later, Uraume. In the meantime, keep my wife some company."

"Understood..." in a moment Sukuna was gone and Sayato grimaced at his last words.
"I shall be waiting for you."

There was a short silence before Uraume raised up again and faced the other curse that was still present.
"Can I be of some service to you, Master Sayato?"

"How about dying?"

Uraume bowed silently, seemingly used to Sayato's rude outbursts.
"I shall excuse myself if I am too much of an eyesore for you, Master Sayato."
