Chapter 47, Chapter 14: Let's go pick up Dad and take him home!

Unfortunately, Fushiguro Jinji didn't have the ability to teleport away like Gojo Satoru. In the end, he could only pretend to be nonchalant and continue reading the book in his hand.

Although their attention was actually focused on Fushiguro Megumi and Oriyuki Karin.

Fushiguro Megumi was stunned by what Oriyuki Karin said.

Fushiguro Megumi knew that Ryomen Sukuna might want to be his concubine, but for him at the moment, Ryomen Sukuna was something he couldn't possibly come into contact with, so he didn't think about it too much.

He just hadn't expected that Fuhesh would actually...

He didn't doubt that Shiki Aka was lying. She must have heard it from Fuheishen, who always had a way of whining Fuheishen down.

Perhaps her way of narrating will be different from that of Fushiguro Jinji. Fushiguro Megumi is certain that Fushiguro Jinji would never say something like that he would deal with Sukuna's fingers for his sake, but the fact is that the other party is indeed doing it, regardless of whether it is for him or not.

But in reality, Fushiguro Megumi couldn't think of any other reason that could drive Fushiguro to do this...

Over the past few days, he has come to understand his father, who seemed to have never existed before. He has no interest in anything and will not waste his energy on things that are not profitable.

But...do you love him?

Fushiguro Megumi internally disagreed.

He didn't think Fushiguro would do anything because of him, even if rationally speaking, Fushiguro Megumi still felt it was impossible.

Karin Oriyuki looked at him expectantly, as if hoping to get some response from him.

Megumi Fushiguro didn't know how to respond.

He simply nodded quietly: "Yes, I understand."

Oriyuki Ayaka blinked.

I don't think Huihui seems very happy.

"Dad, aren't you happy?" she asked, following her heart.

Fushiguro Megumi wasn't sure if he was happy or not, but since Oriyuki Karin had asked, he nodded and said, "I'm happy, thank you, Akari."

Karin looked at his face: "Then... will you smile?"

Fushiguro Megumi gave her a slight smile, somewhat helplessly.

This time, Oriyuki Karin was satisfied—or rather, she was fooled.

She felt she had done something really nice and decided to reward herself, so she ran to the kitchen refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of yogurt for herself.

Fushiguro Megumi remained where she was, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Fushiguro Jinji. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be paying attention to them, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The matter seemed to have passed just like that.

seem.

While drinking yogurt and watching TV, Kaori Yukiya accidentally noticed the book in Fukuro Shinji's hand and tilted her head in surprise: "Daddy, why is the spine of your book broken in two?"

Of course, it was when Shigeaki Karin told Fushiguro Megumi that she loved him that she broke it herself by using too much force.

But Fuheshchen didn't even lift his eyelids, replying, "The quality is too poor."

Oriyuki Karin didn't think much of it, only muttering, "It's pretty bad."

It's broken like this; they must have cut corners!

As evening fell, Karin, being a child, naturally went to bed early, and Miki Fushiguro also went to bed after taking a bath. In the end, only Megumi Fushiguro and Jinji Fushiguro remained.

Before going to bed, Fushiguro Megumi saw Fushiguro Jinji still watching TV in the living room. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Um... tomorrow."

He paused for a moment before saying, "Be careful."

Fuheshchen glanced at him.

Fushiguro felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

Or perhaps he felt awkward from the moment he opened his mouth.

Fuheishen lazily replied, "Ah."

Then he didn't say anything more and went back to watching TV.

Fushiguro Megumi felt a mix of frustration and regret, and turned to go back inside.

In the living room, the TV channels kept changing, and it seemed that Fuheishener couldn't find what he wanted to watch for quite a while.

Or perhaps... he wasn't even looking at it.

——

The next day, as expected, Karin Oori went out with Shigeji Fushiguro, and the two went to Aomori Prefecture together.

Since Gojo Satoru only provided clues and not accurate information, Oriyuki Karin and Fushiguro Jinji had to search for the information on their own in the local area.

After a day of searching, nothing useful was found. As it was getting late, Yuki Ayaka, who had been running around outside all day, was so tired that she fell asleep on Fukushige's shoulder.

Fukushiro looked at the child who was sleeping so soundly he was practically drooling, and finally decided not to go back to Tokyo tonight.

Just before stepping into the hotel, he suddenly stopped and squinted, looking in one direction.

People came and went, seemingly not paying attention to them. But Fuheshel, being the person he was, clearly sensed that someone was watching them.

It's that guy again?

He ignored them and carried Yuki Akahara into the inn. Because he was not afraid at all.

Rimei, who hurriedly dodged away in the distance, had a gloomy expression on her face.

He had come here after hearing the news, but he never expected to run into Fuheshchen here again.

This wasn't the first time he had encountered Fushiguro Jinji while searching for Lord Sukuna's fingers. Although the two had never actually met, Rime had already figured out that the other was looking for Lord Sukuna's fingers, and the other had already succeeded twice before him.

Because of Fuhesh, Rime has only collected four fingers so far.

Damn it.

However, Rime knew that he was no match for Vöhscher.

He was willing to die for Lord Sukuna, but if he died, no one would plan for Lord Sukuna's revival. The guy who said he wanted to cooperate with him only wanted to use Lord Sukuna. Before reviving Lord Sukuna, Rime valued his life very much, so he had no choice but to back down.

However… looking in the direction where Fu Heishen had just been, his expression turned cold.

That evening, when Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Miki noticed that it was late and that Oriyuki Karin and Fushiguro Jinji had not returned, Fushiguro Megumi called Fushiguro Jinji.

When Fuheshchen received the call, he felt a little unfamiliar with the feeling of his family calling to ask why he hadn't come home yet, and he became much more accommodating.

He looked at the little bundle of joy who had naturally wrapped himself up in bed as soon as he got in, and said to Fushiguro Megumi on the other end of the phone, "That troublemaker has been sleeping so soundly he's practically drooling, so he found a hotel to rest."

When Fukuro heard him say that, he didn't think about making them rush back under the stars.

He could have hung up the phone now, but remembering Fukushige's purpose in going to Aomori Prefecture, he couldn't help but ask, "How... is it going?"

"We didn't find a single fart."

Fushiguro Megumi fell silent, as if she didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, he finally said, "If you really can't find it... then don't bother."

"I don't need you to teach me."

Who is the father and who is the son?

There was silence again on Fuhei Hui's end. Seeing that he wasn't going to say anything, Fuhei Shen'er was about to hang up: "Hang up."

Fushiguro Megumi finally said, "Be careful."

After hanging up the phone, Fushiguro Megumi told Fushiguro Tsuki that the two of them wouldn't be coming back that night.

"I see..." Fushiguro Miki looked a little worried. "Jinji-san should be able to take good care of Akari-chan, right?"

Although Fushiguro Jinji seemed to grant all of Orishita Karin's requests, Fushiguro Tsumiki couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Fushiguro Megumi comforted her, saying, "It should be alright."

Looking at the house, which had suddenly become much quieter, Fushiguro Miki couldn't help but sigh, "It's suddenly become a little strange that the house is so quiet."

Fushiguro Megumi glanced at the empty sofa and the off TV. On the sofa was Fushiguro Shige's book, its spine broken in two but the pages still connected.

Indeed, it seems a bit unfamiliar.

However... he knew very well that Oriyuki Karin would go back sooner or later, and at that time, Fushiguro Jin... probably wouldn't stay at home anymore.

Fushiguro Megumi said nothing, but silently went over and put his book away.

──

The next day, Yuki Ayaka was initially worried they might have come up empty-handed, but they actually found Sukuna's finger. Unfortunately, it had already been swallowed by a cursed spirit, which explained why they hadn't found it after searching all day the previous day.

Karami, who only became a special-grade cursed spirit by relying on the Su Nuo Finger technique, was naturally no match for Fuheshen. Fuheshen dealt with the cursed spirit without much effort.

It's just tough on Okiyuki Karin.

She never wanted to go on missions with Fuheshchen again!

Unlike Gojo Satoru and Natsume, Gojo Satoru is a high-attack, high-defense mobile turret who, if accompanied by another person, will mostly stand still and attack. Natsume, on the other hand, is a Pokémon Master who only needs to assign a few Cursed Spirits to protect the target.

But Daddy is a pure physical combat practitioner, focusing on strength and speed, and Karin Ooyuki, this little useless girl with no ability to protect herself, can't be left aside. So throughout the battle, she was carried around under Fushiguro's armpit.

Given Fukushige's fast-paced and high-octane fighting style, Shiki Karin almost threw up everything she ate that morning.

But Fuhei Shen'er saw that she looked like she was about to die, and even showed an expression of looking at a fool and a piece of trash, which made Zhixue Akari so angry that she kicked him twice.

She swore! She would never go on a mission with her dad again!

She angrily declared to Fuheshchen, "I'm never going on a mission with you again!"

Fuheishener: ?

Is there really such a good thing?

Zhi Xueya Karin was unaware that Fu Heishen was already plotting how to use a mission to get out and relax. She watched as Fu Heishen skillfully wrapped the Su Nuo finger she had just acquired with another layer of talisman paper and swallowed it, and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to wash it first?"

Fuheishen: "..."

She hadn't mentioned it before, and Fuheshen hadn't considered this issue before, but now that he thought about it, he suddenly felt that it was indeed quite unclean.

Fu Heishen's expression darkened.

His gaze swept around seemingly unintentionally, but he didn't find anything.

Didn't they appear this time either?

He chuckled: "A cowardly coward."

Karin Origami didn't hear what he said clearly and looked up in confusion: "What?"

"It's nothing, I'm going back."

"Oh, okay."

On their way back, the two happened to pass by the school of Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Miki.

Actually, Karin and Jinji didn't know it was the school that Megumi and Fushiguro attended before. They just happened to see the students wearing the same school uniforms as Megumi and Miki when they passed by.

And coincidentally, it seemed like school had just ended.

Karin Origami tugged at Jinji Fukuro: "Daddy, let's go pick up Daddy and Tsumiki-neechan and take them home!"

Fukushige no longer argues with Orishita Karin about whether or not to do something, probably because she knows she can't win the argument anyway.

Given Fukushige's menacing aura, the school security guards would normally not want to let him in, but the fact that he was wearing a Shiki Ayakari amulet instantly reduced his perceived threat level.

After a flurry of sweet talk from Yuki Ayaka, and given that Fushiguro Jinji really did look too much like Fushiguro Megumi, even the security guard thought his face looked familiar, so the two were allowed into the school.

Karin Origami even asked the security guard where Fushiguro Megumi's class was.

Hmm... I always feel like Huihui is... quite famous?

When they arrived at Fushiguro Megumi's class, they didn't see her. Her classmates said that she had been called to the back of the playground. So, Yuki Ayaka excitedly dragged the already impatient Fushiguro Jinji to the back of the playground to look for Fushiguro Megumi.

Watching Fushiguro Jinji's retreating figure, Fushiguro Megumi's classmate couldn't help but exclaim, "Is that Fushiguro-kun's father? He looks so impressive. No wonder Fushiguro-kun is so amazing too."

The classmate next to me asked, "What are you talking about? Who was that person just now?"

"Fukuguro's father is here looking for Fukuguro. I told him that Fukuguro was lured to the back of the playground, and he should be going to find him now."

The other person paused for a moment: "You told him that Fu Heisang was called to the back of the playground?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, it's just..." He hesitated, then finally said, "Fu Heisang was called over by those people who came to cause trouble, right?"

"Huh? Really?"

"...It seems...right?"

"Well……"

The two looked in the direction where Fuheshen had left, but Fuheshen's figure had already disappeared around the corner.

Recalling the other person's intimidating physique and aura, the two swallowed hard in unison.

Well...

"Nothing should... happen... right?"

"Roughly...?"

Author's Note: I wrote 3000 words, thinking that would be enough for today's update, but I felt like I could write a little more, so I ended up writing 3500.

I thought I'd almost done, but then I remembered I'd forgotten to write a plot point, so I went back and added it, and that brought me to 3800.

emmm...
