The Cat of the Itadori Family Wants to Become the King of Curses

Novelist Inamori's journey through reincarnation was full of twists and turns. First he became a dried-up finger, then a stray cat swallowed him whole.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become a tabby cat possessed by a curse.

Inheriting the finger's memories, Inamori learned that he was the remnant of Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses in the Jujutsu Society. But Ryomen Sukuna had been dead for many years, leaving Inamori as the only vessel in the entire Jujutsu Society.

By rounding up, he could count as half a King of Curses.

But Inamori had no interest in becoming the King of Curses. He had worked himself to death in his previous life. In this one, he just wanted someone to feed him while he lounged around waiting to die, sunbathing every day and living a peaceful life with food, drink, and a roof over his head.

His new meal ticket was a high school student with a healthy appetite. Kindhearted and sunny, he was like a little sun.

Inamori couldn't have been more pleased. He thought he could watch the boy graduate high school and go to college. After all, Inamori wasn't an ordinary cat, and he could stay with the boy for a very, very long time.

But he never expected that, through a strange twist of fate, his new meal ticket would also become Ryomen Sukuna's vessel. The Jujutsu Society even demanded that the boy eat the remaining fingers, then calmly accept death while carrying the King of Curses' cursed energy.

What kind of human being would come up with something like that?

Inamori: "..."

It's the 21st century already, isn't it? What the hell, why is something so inhumane still happening?

Damn the Jujutsu Society. It's a pile of stinking dog shit.

High school student Itadori Yuji adopted a big tabby cat weighing a little over twenty jin.

He named the cat Mimi. It often wore a world-weary, dejected expression and had an enormous appetite, capable of finishing three large cans of beef in one sitting. It was a little dim, though. Whenever Yuji called Mimi's name, the cat would squint as if it hadn't heard him.

The veterinarian said that some tabby cats had lower intelligence, but Itadori Yuji didn't mind. He came up with all kinds of cat food recipes every day, determined to fatten Mimi into a round little cat-pig.

But ever since he adopted the cat, strange things seemed to keep happening around him.

A brown-haired boy who claimed he could see yokai: "So you have a Catbus, too?"

His classmate Fushiguro Megumi filed a formal report: He suspected that all of Yuji's homework was written by the cat. His reason was that he had personally seen the cat Yuji adopted use its paw pads to write code.

"I went home and questioned the Divine Dogs for ages, but they never admitted they could do homework," Fushiguro Megumi said.

"But Mimi's just a little kitty!" Itadori Yuji said, lifting up the cat-pig. "Sure, he can do homework, write code, and exorcise curses..."

"But he's still just a little kitty!"

Sure, sure.

Inamori remained expressionless. He was just a [little] cat weighing twenty jin, gobbling cat food and canned food by the basin, and capable of batting Special Grade cursed spirits around like spinning tops.

When a cat presses its paw against the back of your neck, graciously grooms you, and often brings you food, it means the cat considers you its kitten.
