Sukuna spent nearly an entire day crafting furniture out of wood sourced from Misty Moss Woods. With some leftover teak wood, he also created several maneki-neko, those cute lucky cat statues. Amidst all this, he managed to squeeze in a workout session to stay in shape. After workouts, he begins to theories about Fairytopia and how the fuck he still can use cursed energy even if he's in fucking different world and dimension.
Sukuna has a few ideas about why he can use Cursed Energy, even though Fairytopia doesn't have it. He believes that all fairies have negative energy, but unlike humans whose negative energy can turn into cursed energy, fairies in Fairytopia release their negative energy into the air.
This energy naturally disappears after a few days, as if there is another force in their world that can destroy cursed energy without needing jujutsu. So, even though there aren't any cursed spirits in Fairy Meadow, Sukuna can still use cursed energy. He takes the existing negative energy in the air, which hasn't been purified by the planet yet and transforms it into cursed energy within his own body.
When Sukuna became immersed in absorbing negative energy and converting it into cursed energy, he had a cunning plan in mind. Apart from crafting exquisite furniture and maneki-neko out of wood, Sukuna wanted to put his jujutsu prowess to the test by slicing through the remaining pieces of timber. He thirsted to know whether his strength matched his former glory. Alas, mere moments later, he was struck with the harsh truth that his mastery over jujutsu techniques was no longer absolute.
Now Sukuna's abilities were severely limited. He could only pull off the black flash move a few times, use the Cleave technique only three times, and the Dismantle technique just twice. And even then, he couldn't use these techniques to their full potential, only managing around 7-10% of their true power. It was frustrating as fuck. To make matters worse, a damn necklace he wore around his neck started acting up, glowing faintly and preventing him from unleashing any higher levels of cursed energy.
"Fucking hell!" Sukuna cursed, wiping the blood that escaped his mouth.
He clenched his body in pain but stood tall. The damn necklace was stopping him from going all out, preventing him from returning to Heian-kyō and resuming his usual duties. He pondered if the magical fairies in Fairytopia had enough power to open a portal back to Heian-kyō. But Sukuna wasn't one to give up easily, he was a stubborn son of a bitch.
Peony's vine gracefully handed Sukuna a glass of water, accompanied by a cloth to wipe away the blood that trickled from his mouth.
"Well, fuck me sideways, thanks," Sukuna muttered under his breath, quickly downing the refreshing liquid. As he observed his surroundings, he couldn't help but think,
"Damn, you are as clueless as your master," said Sukuna to Peony.
Two days had passed since his arrival at Elina's place, and in Sukuna's opinion, she was unbelievably kind to a human who had just, not too long ago, attempted to harm her beloved pet. If he had crossed paths with someone of noble blood and treated them in the same manner, Sukuna would have been left to rot in a fucking dungeon for all eternity.
While nursing his aching body, he decided to lie down on his bed and flip through a book that was filled with incomprehensible writing. He hoped to stumble upon something that could either transport him back to Heian-kyō or rid him of this goddamn crystal necklace that hung around his neck.
"We're home," announced Elina with Bibble who was falling asleep in her arms, entered the house. Sukuna sprawled leisurely on the floor and made a lazy greeting.
"Hnn...Welcome,"
The moment Elina laid eyes on her dwelling, her gaze fixated on the collection of Sukuna's wooden creations, displayed near the dining table.
"Wow, Sukuna! What is this? It looks like miniatures of tiger vines," she inquired. Sukuna nonchalantly replied, "Oh, those are maneki-neko, lucky cat statues."
Curiosity sparked in Elina as she questioned, "Cat? What kind of animal is that?" Sukuna, now sitting up, couldn't hide his surprise.
"Wait, you don't know what cats are? Are there no fucking cats around here?" he wondered. Elina returned the maneki-neko to its place and admitted,
"Well, they're somewhat similar to tiger vines, but no, we don't have cats here."
"Hmm, that's intriguing," mused Sukuna. Elina then reminded him, "Oh, by the way, Sukuna, I was planning to go straight to Fairy Town. Can you and Bibble take care of the house for me?" Sukuna arched an eyebrow at Elina's question, slightly taken aback.
"Princess, we've only known each other for two days," Sukuna pointed out.
"Why do you want me to look after your house?"
Elina hesitated for a moment as if carefully considering her response. "I have faith in you, Sukuna," she replied, her voice filled with a gentle smile. Sukuna couldn't help but challenge her trust.
"Are you sure you're not being fucking naive? It's only been two consecutive days since we met. Do you trust someone so fucking easily?" he asked, inching closer to her until their faces were almost touching. They locked eyes for a moment, tension filling the air. Finally, Elina broke the silence and answered his probing question.
"I have a talent for judging characters, even in a short time. And in these past two days, I've come to trust you, Sukuna," she said, her smile radiating warmth.
Sukuna's reddish pupils briefly glanced into her eyes, captivated by her sincerity. A soft, rainbow-like light seemed to emanate from Elina's eyes, giving her an ethereal aura. Sukuna was taken truly aback by her words. It was a very rare experience for him to be trusted so easily by someone.
Sukuna furrowed his brow, feeling a surge of perplexing thoughts swirling in his mind. He turned his gaze towards Elina, curiosity etching across his face as he inquired, "What's the rush for heading straight to Fairy Town after work? How much time does it fucking take to get from home to that goddamn Fairy Town anyways?"
"According to Ms. Topaz," Elina explained, "Fairy Town is only a 2-3 hour journey away. So, I'm confident I'll be back home by nightfall." She grabbed a long jacket for extra protection, noting that the cool weather wouldn't bother her during the nighttime journey.
Sukuna, who's first time feeling concerned for someone else, asked, "Are you sure you don't want to grab a goddamn dinner first, Princess? You just finished fucking work." He noticed Elina walking out the door, ready to embark on her adventure.
"I'll be alright," Elina reassured him. "I have some snacks in my bag, and I can always grab food once I reach Fairy Town. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Take care of Bibble and Peony for me." With those words, Elina started making her way towards Fairy Town while Sukuna and her pet, Bibble (who remains asleep), remained at home.

Bibble woke up from his nap and realized it had only been 15 minutes since he closed his eyes. Wondering where Elina had gone, he hurriedly searched every corner of the house.
"ELINABOOO!" Bibble called out, his voice carrying throughout the house.
Sukuna, with a tablecloth tied around his waist like an apron, emerged from the kitchen, asking, "Why the fuck are you screaming, Brat?!" He was in the midst of preparing dinner for the three of them.
Bibble explained that Elina was not at home, to which Sukuna responded nonchalantly, "Oh, Princess just went to Fairy Town." Bibble was taken aback and puzzled.
"OH, NONOBOO!" he exclaimed. Sukuna, trying to calm Bibble in his brusque manner, retorted, "Ah, shut the fuck up, Brat! She's a goddamn adult and can take care of herself."
Bibble, still concerned, shouted, "SUKUNALOBO! ELINABOO NEVOR LEVETO PAIRIMEADOW!" Sukuna raised an eyebrow and asked, "What the hell do you mean? Princess never goes fucking outside Fairy Meadow?!" Bibble nodded vigorously at Sukuna's answer.
"Damn it, that woman!!" Sukuna muttered under his breath as he turned off the stove. Aware that it was still afternoon and he didn't want to be seen by other fairies, Sukuna fashioned another tablecloth into a makeshift coat, covering his body and face. Together, Bibble and Sukuna followed Elina, who was already on her way to Fairy Town.

Elina arrived at Misty Moss Woods, feeling a slight shiver down her spine. Although it was still early afternoon, there was a mysterious aura in the air. Gathering her courage, she took her first step out of Fairy Meadow.
As she entered the woods, Elina walked cautiously, carefully observing her footsteps. Then, she heard the distant roar of wild animals, but as she ventured deeper into the forest, the sounds gradually faded away.
Suddenly, Elina's heart skipped a beat when she heard the crackling of a branch being stepped on. Startled, she spun around and called out, "Who's there?" Yet, there was no one in sight, only the towering trees and the thick mist of Misty Moss Woods.
"Maybe it was just a passing wild animal," she reassured herself, trying to stay positive and not let fear overcome her.
To her surprise, Elina didn't encounter a single wild animal on her journey through Misty Moss Woods. "Are they all in hibernation?" she wondered, finding it strange that there were no signs of wildlife.
Nonetheless, she couldn't help but feel grateful that she could continue her journey to Fairy Town without any obstacles or frightening encounters along the way.
The Omake :
Sukuna: "I don't give a fuck happen to Princess"
Bibble: "She's just bumped her head into the tree-.."
Sukuna: (already bring fucking all medication he's had in his hands and running toward Elina to heal her)
