Chapter 39, Chapter 6: He's the father, you're the daddy.

Fuhei Shen'er didn't stop for a second, and the moment Zhixue Akari called him, his figure had already disappeared around the corner.

Karin quickly chased after them, calling out, "Daddy, Daddy—"

Miki Fushiguro's heart tightened: "Mori-chan! Slow down, be careful not to fall."

At this moment, Shiki Ayakari didn't think too much. Seeing that Fukuro Shinji was nowhere to be seen, she ran in that direction even faster.

They didn't fall, but when they ran over, they found that Fuhesh was gone.

Zhixue Yahuali:?

Running that fast?

She didn't believe that Fuhesh was unaware of her calling him; he was deliberately avoiding her!

Karin Oriyuki: Hmm... I don't believe it!

She paused for a moment, then—

"Waaaaah—Daddy—"

She cried so hard she was hoarse, as if her father had died.

Fushiguro Miki came to her side and, seeing that she was crying, quickly comforted her.

Fushiguro Jin walked too fast, and Fushiguro Tsumiki didn't even see him. She was still comforting Oriyuki Karin, saying that she might have seen wrong.

Karin Origami cried out loudly, "I didn't see wrong! That's Daddy! Waaaaaah... He's wearing that outfit today, I remember! Waaaaah... He just doesn't want me anymore, waaaaah..."

She spoke loudly so that Fuheshchen could hear her.

Unlike Fushiguro Miki, Fushiguro Megumi didn't rush to comfort the child. He could clearly see that Oriyuki Karin was crying loudly, but without a single tear; she was just wailing.

Moreover... although Fushiguro Miki didn't see it, Fushiguro Megumi still managed to catch a glimpse of Fushiguro Jinji's back for a fleeting moment.

He looked at the deserted alleyway under the night sky, frowned slightly, and told Fushiguro Miki to keep an eye on Oriyuki Karin while he went ahead to find Fushiguro Jinji.

Okiyuki Karin glanced at his back absentmindedly, mentally gave him a thumbs up, and then cried even louder.

Damn it, where are her tears?

This howling is so fake.

Okiya Karin secretly pressed on the wound on her knee.

Ouch...that hurts!

Then tears started streaming down my face.

Yes, this time it was much more sincere.

Poor Fushiguro Miki panicked even more when she saw her start to cry, and hurriedly took out tissues to wipe her tears. She comforted her while wiping them, showing great pity for Oriyuki Karin, which made Oriyuki Karin feel a little embarrassed.

If her daddy didn't come out soon, she would be too embarrassed to keep crying.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. A sneer came from behind, full of disdain: "Tch, crying like an idiot."

Zhixue Yahuali:!

She turned around abruptly and, sure enough, saw a tall figure in the shadows outside the streetlight.

"Daddy!" She rushed over excitedly, but almost fell flat on her face again. By the time she realized what was happening, Fu Heishen had already grabbed her by her clothes and lifted her up.

She looked up at Fuheshner and grinned at him.

Fuhesh looked at her and thought she was incredibly stupid.

But he didn't say anything, he just put Yuki Akahara back on the ground.

Miki Fushiguro was also taken aback by Jinji Fushiguro's appearance, her surprise evident. Seeing that the child had finally stopped crying, she approached and tentatively asked, "Um...would you like to come inside with us?"

Before Fukushige could speak, Oriyuki Karin answered for him, "Yes!"

Fuheishen glanced at her, while Zhixueya Karin stared at him with her big eyes.

Seeing that he did not refuse, Fushiguro Miki took him home and then made a phone call to call Fushiguro Megumi back.

Asuka Karin held onto Fukuro Shinji's fingers the whole way, as if afraid that he would run away again.

Upon returning home, Fushiguro Miki treated Fushiguro Jinji like a guest, pouring him tea before Fushiguro Megumi followed suit.

He and Fuheshchen exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke.

Seeing the silence between the two, Fushiguro Miki decided to get up and give them some space to talk.

Fushiguro Megumi looked at Oriyuki Karin and asked, "Are you going to go with him?"

He didn't even ask Fuheishener if he wanted to bring Zhixueya Karin. Since she had already come back, was there any need to ask?

However, Fuheshel didn't want another little troublemaker around him: "I have no interest in babysitting."

He looked at Karin Oori and pointed at Megumi Fushiguro, saying, "Look carefully, this is your father. Don't just call him whatever you want."

He said this without any regard for Fushiguro Miki, who was still present. His words startled Fushiguro Miki, and Fushiguro Megumi's expression also froze.

Fushiguro Miki looked at Fushiguro Jinji with surprise.

It wasn't that she was shocked that Oriyuki Karin was actually Fushiguro Megumi's daughter. Given Fushiguro Megumi's age, Fushiguro Miki couldn't believe he could have a two- or three-year-old child.

What shocked her was that Fukuguro Shigeo actually claimed that Oriyuki Karin was Fukuguro Megumi's daughter in order to get rid of the child!?

The most composed people on the field, besides Fushiguro Jinji, were Oriyuki Karin.

She tried hard to recall the acting tips she had learned from Fuwa Ryuu, and began to act like an idiot.

She stared blankly at Fuhei Hui, then at Fuhei Shen'er, and finally back at Fuhei Hui, looking as if she was trying hard to recognize him.

Finally, she pointed at Fushiguro Megumi and said, "Dad."

Fushiguro Miki thought to herself, "It's over. The kid has been completely fooled."

Fuheshel raised an eyebrow in satisfaction, feeling that he could finally get rid of the child.

Then, I saw Ayaka Kirin point at Fukushiro and call out, "Daddy."

Megumi Fushiguro, Jinji Fushiguro, and Miki Fushiguro: "..."

As if the scene wasn't chaotic enough, Karin Oriyuki pointed at Miki Fushiguro, about to speak.

Fushiguro Miki, fearing she would be mistaken for some strange character, quickly waved her hand before she could speak, saying, "No, no, no, just call me older sister."

She still believed that Shiki Akahara was Fuheishen's daughter.

Following her lead, Karin Origami called out, "Sister."

Fushiguro Miki breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she had escaped a disaster.

She did indeed escape unscathed, because just now, Yuki Ayaka had intended to be mischievous and call her "Mom."

Going back, Ayaka Arakawa did it all over again.

Pointing at Fushiguro Megumi: "Dad."

Pointing at Fuheishen: "Daddy!"

Pointing at Fushiguro Miki: "Big sister."

Megumi Fushiguro, Jinji Fushiguro, and Miki Fushiguro: "..."

What a chaotic family dynamic.

But the child was smiling happily.

Origami Karin is really happy; how could she not be happy when she's causing trouble?

Fuheshen felt she looked even dumber, a vein throbbing on his forehead, and he emphasized again, "I told you, I'm not your father."

Zhi Xueya Karin nodded decisively: "That's right, you're not the dad, he's the dad, you're the daddy."

Fukuro Megumi and Fukuro Shinji: "..."

Fukuro Jin couldn't understand how his offspring could be so stupid, and Fukuro Megumi didn't know why his son could be so... It was hard to say what to say. The father and son were in complete agreement at this moment.

"Whatever," Fuheshel decided to drop the matter. "You yourself said that this kid is your father, so you can go with him."

Karin Origami nodded obediently: "Okay!"

Fuhei Shen'er snorted, thinking that this would be enough to deal with Zhixue Aka Rin, but she didn't expect her to say another sentence: "I'll follow Daddy, and Daddy will follow me!"

Perfect!

Fuheishen: "..."

He deliberately gave a fierce look: "I have no interest in following you."

Unfortunately, it was too late. By now, Yukiko Karin was no longer afraid of him. She pouted, looking like she was about to cry again: "Daddy, do you dislike me? You don't love me anymore! Waaah..."

Fuheishen'er grew increasingly irritated: "Shut up."

"You're yelling at me! Waaaaaah!"

Both Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Miki could feel the air pressure around Fushiguro Jinji getting lower and lower, and that he might even pick up Oriyuki Karin and throw her out at any moment.

Especially Fuhei Hui, who was even more sensitive to the changes in Fuhei Shen'er's aura, had subconsciously tensed up, ready to save him from the jaws of death at any moment.

Fushiguro Miki was also anxious and afraid, trying to calm Fushiguro Jinji down so that he wouldn't really get angry.

However, to their surprise, when Fuheishen was extremely impatient with the face of Shiori Karin, he simply raised his hand to his forehead in annoyance and said unhappily, "That's enough. Just for tonight. If you cry again, I'm leaving now."

Okiyuki Karin sniffed and held up three fingers: "Two nights."

Both Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Miki couldn't help but twitch their lips, unsure of what to say.

One of them looked like he was about to bite, but the last thing he said was that he was giving in. The other looked like he was crying, but he wasn't afraid at all. He was so bold that he even dared to bargain with the other party.

Looking at the three fingers that Shiki Akahara had extended, Fukuguro Shigeru felt that there must be something wrong with the wife that Fukuguro Megumi had chosen.

Anyway, he didn't think the little guy's stupidity was inherited from him and his wife.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, said nothing, which was taken as tacit agreement. Turning his head, he looked at Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Miki, and said only two words: "Room."

After witnessing Fushiguro Jinji's compromise, Fushiguro Miki no longer found Fushiguro Jinji's fierce appearance frightening, and quickly nodded: "There are rooms available."

Gojo Satoru sometimes comes over, so there is indeed an extra guest room at home.

As long as there was a room, Fuhe Shen'er immediately sprawled on the sofa, grabbed the remote control, and started watching TV.

Feeling smug after her victory, Ayaka Shiki put away her three fingers.

Yes! Two nights it is. After two nights, she'll say she held up three fingers. After three nights, she can just cry it out again.

She ran over happily and patted Fuheishen's leg: "Make way for me, I want to sit too."

Fuheishen remained silent and withdrew his leg.

"Thank you." Shiki Ayakari climbed onto the sofa as she wished and sat down next to Fukushiro.

Fukushige was watching a horse race, and Iori Yukia Karin, who had never watched one before, found it fascinating and joined in. The two, one big and one small, snuggled together on the sofa, looking quite harmonious.

When Yukiko Karin remembered the two of them, she waved to them and said, "Do you want to come and watch too?"

The two: "..."

It feels like the two of them are the ones who just arrived at this house.

Miki Fushiguro said she still had schoolwork to finish and politely declined Karin Oriyuki's invitation with a smile. Megumi Fushiguro didn't join either; he went to tidy up the guest rooms.

He was actually a little unsure how to get along with his future daughter, Yukiko Karin, and even less about how to get along with Fukushige.

As he tidied the guest room, he could still hear the child's innocent voice from the living room—

"Daddy, who do you think will win?"

Suddenly, Yuki Ayakari wanted to see for herself the legendary luck of Fukushige, who was said to always lose at gambling.

Then came Fuheishen's languid voice: "Number Three."

Zhi Xueya Huali: Okay, then let's eliminate number three first.

"Then I'll guess number five!"

So the grandfather and grandson started guessing.

Fushiguro Megumi couldn't see how the match was going on on TV, but from the chattering of Oriyuki Karin, she roughly knew one thing—her father's face seemed a little dark.

While Karin Origami didn't guess correctly many times, she did manage to guess a few times. But Shinobu Fushiguro... never guessed correctly even once.

Origami Karin: As expected of Daddy.

After repeatedly failing to guess correctly, Fuheishen lost interest in watching and changed the channel.

Before he could find what he wanted to watch, Kiryuki Ayaka found what she wanted to watch first.

"I want to see this! Don't change it, don't change it! Ah—Daddy! I want to see that one again, please change it back for me. Daddy—Daddy—"

After finding the man unmoved, Kiryuki Karin wrinkled her nose and opened her mouth, deciding to cry for him again.

Then, as soon as she opened her mouth, Fu Heishen suppressed her temper and turned her back to normal.

Karin was satisfied and watched the program she wanted to watch with great contentment.

Fushiguro listened to the sounds coming from the television and remained silent for a moment.

He seemed to have heard something about evolution...

After a while, Fushiguro Megumi came out of the house and glanced at the television out of the corner of her eye.

As expected... Karin Ooyuki was watching... Digimon.

Fushiguro Megumi: "..."

He couldn't help but glance at Fuheishen'er.

Fu Heishen was at the other end of the sofa, looking rather unwell, practically radiating annoyance.

Fuheishen'er: Tsk.

He was already regretting agreeing to stay for two nights and was thinking that he must leave after tomorrow night.

Looking at this, Fushiguro Megumi found it somewhat amusing, and a slight smile curved her lips. She even inexplicably understood why Gojo-sensei always liked to tease people.

Fuheshner noticed his gaze and turned to look.

Fuhei Hui's smile had faded. Meeting his gaze, she simply said, "The room is ready. There are extra toiletries in the bathroom cabinet."

Fuheishen lazily replied, "Ah."
