Chapter 104, Section 18: The tug-of-war between father and daughter and their shared hatred of the enemy...

After returning to the high school with Gojo Satoru, Oriyuki Karin began living an unprecedentedly strict life.

I wake up, eat, train, and rest on time every day. My meals are a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, and I never overeat. I like desserts, but only in moderation. I have good posture, whether sitting or standing, and even when I'm tired, I keep my back straight. I even sleep with my hands folded on my stomach in a very proper way, sleeping peacefully.

The students at the vocational college had seen her like this many times before, and then they saw Gotsu—if she could be crooked, she wouldn't be straight.

The students said they now have a deeper understanding of why the children found it difficult to accept Mr. Gojo as their father.

"Doesn't Tsukihime feel uncomfortable like this?" Itadori Yuujin asked her curiously. "Doing everything according to the rules must be exhausting."

Karin nodded: Tired, but it's only for a short time. Isn't this just to maintain the persona?

Gojo Tsukihime shook her head: "No."

For Gojo Tsukihime, such a routine and orderly life was already commonplace, so she naturally didn't feel tired.

But Gojo Satoru looks very tired.

Every time he saw Yuki Akahara living her life in a rigid and methodical way, he felt as if his dead childhood memories were pounding on his head.

He tried to disrupt Orishika Karin's settled life, but Orishika Karin always looked at him with a disapproving expression.

That expression was exactly the same as the old men in the family!

He said that Six-Eyed could do whatever he wanted, and Oriyuki Karin said, "Father, I think doing whatever I want means living the way I like, but you are interfering with my lifestyle now."

The implication is: Your whims are interfering with my whims.

Gojo Satoru felt a headache coming on: "You call this doing whatever you want?"

Oriyuki Ayaka nodded earnestly.

Some people just find a routine life comfortable, and I'm one of them, is that wrong?

It takes 21 days to form a good habit. I've had this habit for several years now. It's become second nature. Is that not allowed?

Gojo Satoru wanted to refute, but what Oriyuki Karin said was exactly what he had said before, leaving him speechless.

Left with no other option, Gojo Satoru resorted to his trump card—being unreasonable.

"Little Moon Princess, let's go~ The sweets at that shop are limited every day, they'll be gone if you go too late."

The mighty, 1.9-meter-tall strongest sorcerer, completely disregards his fatherly image when he acts spoiled with his daughter.

Okiya Karin frowned: "My training for today is not over yet. If Father wants to go, he can go by himself."

Gojo Satoru disagreed; he wanted to take Oriyuki Karin with him.

After thinking for a moment, Zhi Xueya Karin told him what it meant to be powerful and influential and to be willful: "In that case, please wait for me to finish my training, Father. If you are worried about them selling out, you can have someone go and buy some more pastries first."

She looked at Gojo Satoru with a puzzled expression: "There's no need to disrupt the original plan and queue up yourself, and... Father, you haven't finished class yet."

She looked at the pandas and others who were already training on their own.

That's right, it's still Gojo Satoru's class, and there are still twenty minutes left before get out of class ends, but all he can think about is skipping class early to go get some snacks.

Gojo Satoru: "..."

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Gojo Satoru could only continue teaching his students from the sidelines.

After witnessing the two of them struggling, the panda couldn't help but mutter to himself, "When will Wu have the same sense of time and responsibility as Tsukihime?"

Dog-Curled Thorn shook its head: "Bokuyu-hana (wooden fish flower)."

Zenji Maki, standing nearby, scoffed, "Are you expecting pigs to fly?"

At first, Gojo Satoru thought his precious daughter was used to being restricted, but he soon discovered that she had completely gotten used to that regular schedule and habits, and did not feel that it was not free at all. On the contrary, she liked living at fixed times and places.

Although he didn't find it enjoyable, Gojo Satoru understood and decided to give up on disrupting her plans and instead go along with them.

Shoko Ieiri couldn't help but laugh at him: "It's rare to see you so punctual."

Gojo Satoru was also helpless; what could he do when he had a daughter who was like an alarm clock?

However, during Karin's free time, Satoru Gojo was never idle, always taking her to play this or that.

Although Yuki Akahara always felt that he was just playing with her most of the time.

Every day, I either want her to wear something cute for me to take pictures, or I want to take her to do something cute for me to take pictures, or I want to eat something cute for me to take pictures.

Five daily routines that exceed one's level: keeping a straight face.

Gojo Satoru's daily routine: Taking photos, taking photos, taking photos.

The father and daughter's daily routine consists of pulling and tugging at each other.

Gojo Satoru hopes his precious daughter can wear all sorts of cute clothes, stop always having that long face like a little orange, and cooperate with him to do some cute things and take some cute photos.

Gojo Tsukihime hoped that her father would behave himself, fulfill his duties, not do anything shameful, and not make things difficult for her.

Thus, through their tug-of-war, a delicate balance was achieved.

Gojo Tsukihime could barely agree to wear some clothes that weren't so much like Six-Eyed and the young master's style, and occasionally cooperate with Gojo Satoru to do some things that she thought were a bit childish.

However, Wu Tiao also realized that he should attend his classes properly, complete his tasks, and eat less sweets to avoid high blood sugar.

Despite Gojo Satoru always thinking: He's the strongest, how could he possibly have high blood sugar?

However, since it would get his daughter to play with him and coax her out of her dull and boring clothes, Gojo Satoru didn't mind making concessions a little.

So the teachers and students of the vocational high school saw a less troublesome Gojo Satoru, who attended classes on time, completed assignments and reports on time, and even arrived early for meetings. He also stopped bombing the school, because Oriyuki Karin would stop him.

Everyone: It's an absolute miracle!

Previously, there wasn't much of an opinion, but now everyone empathizes with the Gojo family—they want Gojo Tsukihime to stay.

This is the humanoid Gojo Satoru's restraint belt; with her around, Gojo Satoru can behave 50% of the time.

At the same time, they also saw Gojo Tsukihime, whose appearance finally made it clear that she was a girl.

Although she wasn't dressed in overly pink, it was clearly a little girl's outfit, which, combined with her already delicate face, made her look very cute.

Occasionally, a version of the dress will appear, but it happens relatively infrequently.

However, Princess Gojo's acceptable range is still limited. Forget about those fancy little princess cake dresses; the noble little six-eyed girl would never wear one.

Some activities that are too childish, such as rocking horses, are absolutely impossible.

She can force a heart shape with a straight face when taking a photo, but if you want her to pout, it's better to dream about it.

However, there was one thing the father and daughter could agree on: when facing the group of people from the director's department.

The appearance of Gojo Tsukihime still made the people in the General Headquarters feel very uneasy. Regardless of whether Gojo Tsukihime would stay or leave after a while like the previous children, her existence meant that the Gojo family might produce a second Six-Eyed in the near future.

If parallel worlds are possible, then it's hard to say that the same thing could happen in this world.

So they also wanted to detain Princess Gojo, even if it was just for a day or two, and preferably let her learn about things in the parallel world.

Just then, when Gojo Tsukihime traveled over, she razed a forest to the ground. They used this incident as a pretext to demand that Gojo Tsukihime go to the General Manager's Office.

Xia Youjie intended to try and stop them, but this matter was of great importance, and they were determined to make it happen. Therefore, they ultimately failed to stop them, and the message from the General Director's Office was delivered to the Higher Vocational College and into their hands.

Satoru Gojo, grumbling and cursing, rolled up his sleeves, ready to "have a talk" with the people in the management department.

When Ayaka Shiki found out, she nodded in agreement; it was time to go and reason with them.

And so the father and daughter arrived at the director's office.

Because he was going to appear in front of other sorcerer families, the child always kept in mind his identity as the six-eyed member of the Gojo family, so he specially changed into the same size kimono he had worn when he first transmigrated before leaving home.

To paraphrase Yuki Aka, it's about wearing your most expensive clothes to put on the biggest show.

When Gojo saw that she had changed her clothes, he was a little puzzled: "Why did you need to change your clothes to see that group of old jujubes? Dressing so formally is just giving them face."

Karin Oriyuki said with a stern face, "This is the honor of the Gojo family, Father, you too..."

She had intended to suggest that Gojo Satoru change his clothes, but then, as if remembering something, she swallowed her words.

Gojo Satoru:?

"Why did you stop talking?"

Even though he probably wouldn't want to change his clothes after I told him, the sudden silence felt a bit off...

Karin Oriyuki answered honestly, "It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that those people probably already know what kind of person you are, Father."

There's no need to go through with this superficial formality anymore.

Gojo Satoru: "..."

Although his beloved daughter didn't seem to say anything bad, he still felt like he was being scolded.

Upon arriving at the director's office, as expected, she could sense some subtle gazes secretly observing her as soon as she stepped inside.

Karin Origami remained unmoved, completely ignoring them, and calmly walked inside.

She wasn't a real child anymore, and she had been to the director's office before, so she appeared completely calm on the surface.

In other words—it fully embodies the style of the six-eyed woman from the Gojo family.

On the contrary, Gojo Satoru walked behind her casually, as if he were taking a walk after dinner.

Once inside the council chamber, Gojo Satoru was curious about how the child would handle the situation, so despite his anger, he decided to hold back and see how the child would react first.

As soon as those rotten oranges started spouting a few high-sounding but meaningless words, Ayaka Shiki frowned immediately.

She interrupted them directly: "Gentlemen, let's get down to business. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

Just kidding. In the Gojo family's education, Six Eyes is absolutely number one. She will definitely be the strongest in the future. Even if she can't reach her father's level now, she is still enough to look down on the vast majority of sorcerers.

Not to mention... she had already learned the Azure and Limitless techniques under Gojo Satoru's tutelage a few days ago.

In addition to the Hercules she already possessed, Zi naturally learned it as well.

The current Gojo Tsukihime has completely surpassed the Gojo Satoru of his childhood. Keep in mind, Gojo Satoru only learned Kaku during his high school years, thus mastering the technique. And the current Gojo Tsukihime is not even ten years old.

She wouldn't take the people in the director's department seriously at all, and she wouldn't listen to their nonsense.

Her blunt remark left everyone in the management department momentarily stunned.

Immediately, some people objected to her rude behavior.

Karin Origami glanced at the other person and said unhappily, "Who are you?"

She maintained a semblance of politeness on the surface, but her expression clearly said: Who do you think you are, daring to babble here?

Gojo Satoru chuckled to himself as he stood to the side.

Yes, he was so focused on how much his precious daughter looked like Little Orange that he was afraid she would whine and complain like those rotten oranges, forgetting that he himself had once acted like he was the best in the world when he was a child.

The person was taken aback by the question posed by Yuki Akahara, and somewhat displeased, he snorted and introduced himself, stating his name and background.

But to everyone's surprise, Yuki Ayaka didn't care at all.

She frowned and said directly, "Never heard of it."

The other person looked very unhappy.

Gojo Satoru burst out laughing from behind, laughing loudly and showing no respect whatsoever.

The other person's face darkened even more.

Next, Karin Oriyuki demonstrated to the directors what it means to not utter a single word of contempt, yet to look down on everyone present with equal disdain in every gesture.

She even expressed her doubts: "In terms of strength, you are no match for my father, nor for Mr. Xia You, and you are not even a match for Senior Yi Gu. What gives you the confidence to question our decision here?"

Her voice was childish, but the more childish it was, the more humiliating it sounded.

Not to mention there was Gojo Satoru behind her, whose laughter was practically nonstop.

Gojo Satoru originally thought that if the child couldn't handle it, he would rush up and spray everyone for his precious daughter, but he found that he was completely unnecessary.

All he had to do was laugh in the background, occasionally nodding and chiming in.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"That's right, that's right."

"That's right, that's right."

The father and daughter were so angry that a group of old men in the director's department all got high blood pressure.

Gojo Satoru had been dealing with them for many years and knew what kind of people they were, so he often didn't bother to say anything and let them call him whatever they wanted, since he couldn't control them anyway.

But Gojo Tsukihime is different. If you say something, she will ask you: Who are you?

After asking, here's my feedback: Never heard of it.

Sometimes, when Gojo Satoru looks at someone's age, he'll cheekily add, "They might already be dead."

It was full of sarcasm.

The father and daughter both looked down on everyone, which infuriated those people and gave Gojo Satoru a good laugh.

He felt that this was a battle fought together by the father and daughter!

After leaving the director's office, he wanted to drag Yuki Ayaka and Karin together to find a place to celebrate.

Karin Oriyuki reminded him, "Your mission report isn't finished yet."

Gojo Satoru pouted: "...Little Tsukihime, don't be such a spoilsport~"

Oriyuki Karin: "You can go after you finish writing."

Gojo Satoru immediately perked up: "Then let's go back now!"

*

However, despite getting along very well with his beloved daughter, Gojo Satoru still had a worry.

My darling daughter seems to be more lively than before. Although she still maintains the so-called demeanor of the Six-Eyed Man and the young master, and always likes to say that she shouldn't do this or that, she is finally not as rigid as before.

Although I'm still sometimes speechless at his behavior, I seem to be slowly accepting him as my father. But the problem is...

"Why won't Xiaoyueji call me 'Dad'?" He lay on the sofa in his office, pouting and saying with a hint of resentment, "It's always 'Dad, Dad,' it feels so distant... And being called that all the time makes me feel like I'm turning into a rotten orange."

Xia Youjie continued processing the documents without looking up: "That's just how Yueji is. Calling her 'Dad' might be too intimate for her. You have to give her some time to get used to it."

"Time, time, but what we lack most right now is time! Little Moon Princess has been here for over a month, and I feel like she might travel back in time. If she still refuses to call me 'Dad' before she's gone... Jay! I'll definitely cry!"

Xia Youjie didn't seem to hear him, and vaguely replied, "Okay."

Gojo Satoru: "..."
