Chapter 17 The Radiance of Compassion

"Hey, Jai, do you know how awful Yuya just did to me?!" Gojo Satoru pressed his finger to his lips, his cheeks flushed, his eyes darting around, his tone ambiguous, "Just now, when it was just Yuya and me in the room, he pinned me down on the bed..."

Upon hearing this, Yuya, who had chased after them, jumped onto Gojo Satoru's back, wrapped his legs around his waist, and desperately tried to cover Gojo Satoru's mouth with his hands: "Shut up!"

A smile that only Natsume could see flickered in Gojo Satoru's eyes. He deliberately struggled, trying to squeeze out a few words: "Yuya did something super embarrassing to me..."

"Enough, enough! Shut up and don't say another word! It was just an accident!"

Yuya's face turned bright red, even his ears were red, it was obvious that he was completely ripe.

He pressed his hand firmly against Gojo Satoru's mouth, enduring the strange look from the receptionist, and tried his best to save face: "Actually, nothing happened. It's just that Satoru-kun likes to make a fuss."

"Xia You, you can trust me, right?"

Xia Youjie remained silent.

When Yuya Kojima started considering whether to just get rid of Satoru Gojo, he finally nodded.

"I believe in Yuya." Perhaps I shouldn't have come down earlier.

Watching Xia Youjie check out, Xiao Luyou also dragged Wujiao Wu to the other side with a murderous aura.

"Don't tell anyone what just happened!"

Gojo Satoru bent over: "Which thing is Yuya talking about? Was it patting my butt twice, or rubbing it... mmm mmm."

Yuya gritted his teeth: "No one is allowed to tell! If a third person finds out, I'll poison you so you can't speak!"

“You must have lost your mind just now, doing something even more perverted than what Gojo Gono did,” Yuya said with a serious expression. “Is it because I’m too close to you guys that I caught it?”

Gojo Satoru pulled Yuya's hand away, his expression displeased: "Yuya casually said some very hurtful things."

He quickly laughed again: "I can keep it a secret, but You has to do something for me."

Yuya's internal alarm bells went off immediately: "Perverts are forbidden."

"What kind of image do you have of me in Yuya's mind? How come I'm always associated with perverts? I'm a very innocent DK."

Yuya Kojima remained silent.

"I won't let Yuya do anything shameful like murder or arson. It's a small matter. If Yuya doesn't want to, he can refuse. How about that?"

“If Yuya agrees, I guarantee no one else will know what happened in the room just now. But if Yuya doesn’t agree…” Gojo Satoru took out his phone, which was glowing with a faint blue light. On it was a photo of Yuya pressing down on him.

In the photo, Yuya Ogawa looks aggressive, while Satoru Gojo looks shocked and blushing, which is very misleading.

Yuya was shocked: "When did you take this photo?!"

Gojo Satoru said smugly, "After all, this is the first time Yuya has done this to me, so of course I have to take a picture to commemorate it."

He raised his hand high, dodging Yuya: "So, Yuya, will you say yes?"

"……promise."

Yuya thought: If I ever get the chance, I'll make sure Satoru Gojo's phone gets wet.

After leaving the small hotel, the three of them randomly chose a nearby shop for breakfast.

"This red bean bun is so delicious, so sweet!"

Wu Tiao Wu's eyes lit up when he tried Chinese food for the first time.

The soft white dough is filled with sweet red bean paste, which suits his taste perfectly.

You also wanted a red bean bun, muttering under your breath, "You're only good at eating this."

You're just a white-skinned, black-hearted creature.

Xia Youjie doesn't like sweets, so he ordered five buckwheat buns. The subtle sweetness was enough to ease his bitterness.

"My bag! My bag! Catch the thief!"

Suddenly, an old woman screamed from the roadside. Her handbag was snatched by a passing motorcycle, and she was pulled forward and forced to her knees.

She cried out helplessly, hoping someone around her could help her.

A slightly thin figure flashed past her, not tall, but with a strong presence. More importantly, he actually caught up with the motorcycle!

"Give my mother-in-law's bag back!!!"

The small figure delivered a flying kick, sending both the person and the car flying. When she landed safely, she was holding the stolen handbag.

"Wow. The kids here in Miyagi Prefecture are really healthy." Yuya was a little surprised. This child looked to be no more than seven or eight years old, yet he could catch up with a motorcycle and even kick someone away.

In comparison, he...

The pink-haired child had a pair of cute tiger teeth when he smiled. He helped the old lady stand up and said, "Grandma, check if everything is still there."

The old woman didn't even need to look at the bag; she held the pink-haired child's hand tightly and smiled through her tears: "No need to look, no need to look, he didn't have time to take his things. Yu-ren, thank goodness you're here."

"Grandma, please be careful. I'll have Uncle Hirano arrest him."

"Alright, alright, go ahead."

Yuuya looked at the boy named Yuujin, who seemed to be quite popular in the area. He greeted him, and immediately someone helped him tie up the robber and take him to the nearest police station.

After waiting for a while, Hisahito walked towards them.

The owner of the steamed bun shop seemed to know him well: "Oh, Yujin, is it the usual today?"

"That's right!"

Then, the steamed bun shop owner took out twenty steamed buns.

Yuya was dumbfounded.

He's older than this child, and he's full after eating three.

As if sensing his gaze, the child flashed a bright smile: "Big brother, aren't you full? Do you want a few?"

Yuya coughed twice: "Cough, I'm not hungry. I don't have a habit of fighting with kids for food. You can keep it for yourself, kid."

Yuji Itadori pointed to himself with his thumb: "I'm not a little kid. I've already turned four. I'm a big kid."

Gojou's interest was piqued: "You little brat, you're only four years old?"

Yuujin seemed dissatisfied with this explanation: "It's not just that."

Gojo Satoru pinched Yuuhito's arm: "What did you eat to grow up like this? How come your body is so well-developed? Are you good at running? How long does it usually take you to run 100 meters? How about high jump? How about weightlifting? Besides land, how about underwater? Can you swim fast? You... umm."

His mouth was covered again.

Yuya Kojima softened his tone: "You don't need to pay attention to him."

Yujin was good-natured and answered Gojo Satoru's questions one by one, satisfying his curiosity: "It's okay. I grew up eating rice, cooked by my grandfather. I can run, maybe three or four seconds for 100 meters? I haven't tried high jump yet, and I can lift two bags of rice by myself. I've never swum at full speed, so I don't know my speed."

Even Yu couldn't resist ruffling Yuu's hair: "You're kind of cute."

He was clearly pleased to be praised, and he introduced himself generously and enthusiastically: "My name is Hisahito Itadori. What are your names, big brothers?"

“My name is Yuya Koshino, this curious boy is Satoru Gojo, and the older brother over there is Xia Youjie.”

Gojo Satoru: "Oh dear, calling someone a treasure in front of so many people..."

Yuya Kojima said without changing his expression, "Eat some steamed buns, Satoru. Don't starve yourself."

Keep quiet.

Xia Youjie remained indifferent towards Itadori Yujin, quietly eating his food.

Aside from those with vocational college degrees, it's difficult to pique his interest in anyone else.

If it were a cursed spirit, he might be somewhat interested.

"Is Hisahito out to help buy breakfast?"

"Grandpa hasn't gotten up yet, so I came out to buy breakfast."

The parents were not mentioned, so they must be no longer alive.

Yuya Kojiro also avoided the topic: "No matter how capable you are, you're still a child. You might run into bad people if you go out alone. Let us take you home."

Yuhito rolled up his sleeves, showing off his bare arms: "It's okay, if there are really bad guys, I'll take them down."

"I know you're the best." Little Deer Yu couldn't help but ruffle Little Yu's hair again.

Both DK and Yuuji had no objection to Yuuji being escorted home by Yuuji.

Gojo Satoru was even more enthusiastic.

He was genuinely curious about what kind of family could raise such a child.

In less than a minute, he became friends with Yujin. The two walked ahead, chatting away endlessly.

"Yuya likes children?"

"Huh?" Yuya was a little confused. "No, you mean Hisahito? It was just a coincidence that we ran into each other."

Why would you ask that?

"It's nothing, I just saw how patient Yuya was with Itadori Yuujin, and I suddenly became curious. Yuya isn't this patient with me."

“ ”

"If Xia You doesn't always go along with Wu's crazy antics, I'll be more patient with you."

**

Yujin's house isn't far; it's about a ten-minute walk. It's not an apartment building, but a detached house with its own yard.

Is this your home?

Yuhito nodded.

"Then you should go back quickly."

Little Yuujin was a little reluctant: "Big brother, are you going back already?"

"Yes, we're not from Miyagi Prefecture, we're from Tokyo, and we're going back to Tokyo."

"Tokyo..." Yuujin seemed to understand, as it sounded like a very far place. "So, we'll never see each other again?"

Yuya couldn't help but chuckle: "Of course not."

He crouched down, looking directly into Yuujin's eyes. He took out a pen and paper from his pocket and wrote his phone number on it: "This is my phone number. If you miss me, you can come find me anytime."

"The world is both big and small; we can meet again anytime we want."

Little Yuujin's face turned red with excitement, and he nodded vigorously: "When I grow up a little more, I'll go to Tokyo to find Yuuya-nii!"

"I'm waiting for you."

Gojo Satoru, oblivious to his own danger, provided the voiceover: "At this moment, Yuya is radiating a kind of loving light."

Yuya:......

Xia Youjie suddenly looked up and saw someone hiding not far away, seemingly watching them the whole time.

She was a woman with long hair. I don't know if she had undergone some major surgery, but there was a surgical suture on her forehead from a previous craniotomy.

Upon seeing the seam, Xia Youjie disregarded the pedestrians on the road and immediately released all the level one and above cursed spirits.

In a corner unseen by ordinary people, the woman was instantly devoured and enveloped by the cursed spirit!
