The arcade was still ringing with jackpot sounds.
Coins were overflowing onto the floor.
One machine had actually stopped functioning entirely after Takeru somehow won six times in a row while staring at the ceiling.
Takeru leaned back in his chair.
Thinking.
Dangerous.
Very dangerous.
Yuji noticed immediately.
"…Why are you making that face."
Megumi looked over.
Then immediately looked concerned.
"…No."
Takeru blinked.
"…I didn't even say anything."
Megumi crossed his arms.
"…You were about to."
Silence.
Takeru slowly sat up.
"…You think I can get anymore reincarnated sorcerers to be reincarnated in my body?"
Silence.
Absolute silence.
The machine beside him continued making cheerful noises.
DING DING DING!
Yuji stared.
"…WHAT."
Hakari stopped mid-button press.
"…WHAT."
Geto turned slowly.
"…No."
Nanami looked exhausted instantly.
"…Absolutely not."
Takeru continued casually.
"I don't know if anymore cursed objects there are like Sukuna's Fingers…"
He tapped his chin.
"…But we could look?"
Nobody moved.
Nobody breathed.
Nobody accepted reality.
Then Sukuna slowly turned toward him.
Long silence.
"…You want roommates."
"…Maybe."
"…Inside your soul."
"…Maybe."
"…You are insane."
Takeru pointed at Sukuna.
"Okay but imagine if they're cool."
Yuji nearly fell out of his chair.
"YOU ALREADY HAVE SUKUNA!"
Hakari pointed aggressively.
"THAT'S ALREADY A MAXIMUM CAPACITY PROBLEM!"
Megumi put both hands over his face.
"…No more people."
Then from nearby—
Fred slowly raised a sign:
"Soul occupancy: FULL."
Takeru stared at it.
"…Counterpoint."
He leaned back again.
"…Bigger soul."
Silence.
Nanami stood up.
"…I'm leaving."
