Chapter 61, Chapter 10: It feels like we're all one family.

When Fukugoro saw the frail-looking Otsuki Yuuta, he was momentarily speechless.

He glanced at Yuki Akahara beside him, his eyes conveying a clear message: You brought this thing here for me to take care of?

Okiyuki Karin smiled slightly, her lips pursed, extremely shy, with a hint of ingratiation.

It's just that I'm not very good at it, so I want my dad to take care of me.

Fuhei Shen'er frowned as he sized up Yigu Youtai, his imposing aura so strong that Yigu Youtai dared not even breathe.

Although Fukushige didn't actually move, Rika was already aroused by his powerful aura and felt somewhat restless.

Yuta quickly stopped her: "Rika, don't get agitated, this is not an enemy."

Karin Oriyuki chimed in, helping to explain, "Mom, this is a new teacher. He's here to teach Dad martial arts; he won't hurt us."

"Teacher...?" Rika was a little confused because she felt that the person in front of her didn't look like a teacher at all.

Fuhei Shen'er and Fuhei Hui shared the same confusion, both looking at the cursed spirit that had emerged from the ground.

Why do you care about this... calling me "Mom"?

For a time, even though Yuta Ekiku still looked rather weak, the Fushiguro father and son's impression of him began to change.

Fushiguro Megumi felt that the fact that Otsuku Yuuta could be with a cursed spirit and even have a daughter made him ridiculously strong, regardless of his actual strength.

Fuheshen'er, on the other hand, was much simpler and more direct. Although he was ruthless and indulged in all sorts of vices, he didn't go for everything.

At least he won't go after the previous cursed spirit.

From this perspective, this kid... is even less timid than him.

At this moment, Yuta Otsuko was unaware that his reputation had been damaged once again, because Rika was still wary of Shinobu Fushiguro, and she warned Karin Oshiki and Yuta Otsuko: "Danger, very dangerous."

Karin nodded, coaxing her like a child: "Yes, Daddy needs a really good teacher to learn more, right?"

What? You're asking where she learned how to soothe children?

Is that even a question? Of course, she learned it from Xia Youjie. Back when Zhi Xueya and Hua Li still had the surname Xia You, that's how Brother Jie coaxed her!

Clearly, the Natsumi family's methods of coaxing people were very advanced, and Rika was also convinced: "Yes... Teacher is amazing, and Yuta is amazing too."

So she became polite and greeted Fuheshel with, "Hello, teacher."

Yi Gu You Tai: "..."

No! Rika! You don't have to be convinced so quickly, do you?

He felt he wasn't ready to face such a teacher!

However, since Rika had already greeted them, it seemed a bit unreasonable for Otsuku Yuuta, who was clearly more rational than the Cursed Spirit, not to greet them either. So he also looked at Fushiguro Jinji.

He looked even less imposing than Karin Oriyuki, and cautiously began, "Um... my name is Yuta Otsukoshi, nice to meet you..."

Fuheshchen still felt that he looked down on him.

He began to think that it wasn't that this guy was possessed by a cursed spirit, but rather that he had been forcibly taken away and raped by that cursed spirit.

He gave a smirk: "Tch."

Yi Gu You Tai: ".

I got laughed at qwq...

No, it's more accurate to say that the problem lies in not being ridiculed.

Yi Gu You Tai compared his thin arms with Fu Hei Shen Er's enhanced plus biceps.

Really... won't I get crushed to death by the other party?

Fukushige had originally promised Osamu Karin that she would take her father along, but that was only because the other party brought news of that little troublemaker.

Although Fuheishen didn't care at all whether that little troublemaker was doing well or not, all he did all day was cry, whoever fell into his hands would be unlucky, let alone become a strongman, tsk...

However, at this moment, Fuheshen was beginning to regret his decision to agree.

Do you bring all sorts of chicks to him?

I should have just refused.

However, since he had already agreed, Fuhei Shen'er did not go back on his word. However, he still glanced at Zhixue Akarin and said, "Don't blame me if you die."

Yi Gu You Tai: ? ? ?

Die, die?

His eyes widened in surprise.

Kaori, standing to the side, clenched her little fist to encourage him: "It's okay, Daddy, you can do it."

Yi Gu You Tai: "..."

No, I don't think I'm really good at it...

Karin Origami tilted her head and asked Rika, who hadn't shown up, "Mom thinks so too, right?"

Rika, of course, agreed with whatever her daughter said, nodding in agreement: "Yes, Yuta, do your best."

Yi Gu You Tai: "..."

Rika! What, you too...?

qwq……

Yi Gu You Tai finally went, with the tragic feeling of a warrior going forth never to return.

Looking at Ayaka Karin, she wasn't worried at all. Her father was just bluffing; with his control over his limbs and strength, accidentally killing someone was absolutely impossible.

If that happens—it means he did it on purpose. He did it intentionally, pretending to use the wrong amount of force, just to annoy you.

Don't ask how Yuki Aka and Karin know this; when Daddy and Gojo Satoru fight, they often "accidentally" "lost control".

Then Gojo Satoru, being very accommodating, would immediately "accidentally" return.

Incidentally, when Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suke were fighting, they also had various "accidents".

As for now, Daddy is here to teach, not to kill, so how could he possibly actually beat Bone Bro to death?

At most, they'll cripple him.

It's okay, Daddy knows very well what level of injury can be healed.

And so, Zhi Xueya Huali, wearing a drafty cotton-padded jacket, sat on the side waiting, waiting for the treatment of Yi Gu You Tai in a while.

He also pulled Rika aside and comforted her, telling her not to rush in and disturb the training.

Yi Gu You Tai felt even more desolate.

But no matter what, he still went.

After going up...

In one move, just one move, he was sent flying by Fuheishen'er.

Lying on the ground, Yuta Otsukoshi was inwardly weeping: Is this really an existence that can be defeated?

——

After a day of beatings, Yuta Etsukotsu was so badly beaten that he questioned the meaning of life.

No, strictly speaking, from the very first encounter with Fushiguro Jinji, Etoko Yuta had already begun to question his existence.

He felt like he had used every trick in the book, but his opponent simply stood still and kicked him away. Once, twice, three times... countless times, it seemed that he only needed one move from Fuheishener.

Origami Karin: No, strictly speaking, that doesn't really count as a move.

When he returned to his dorm that night, Yuta Etsukotsu looked utterly dejected, as if he had lost all color in his body.

Dog-Curl and Panda waited at the dormitory door out of curiosity.

Seeing Yi Guyou dragging his weary steps back like a walking corpse, they exchanged a glance and both saw the words "Just as I expected" in each other's eyes.

Panda stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Yuta, it's okay. Jin'er-san is naturally super strong in physical skills. In terms of physical skills alone, even Wu and Natsume-sensei are no match for him."

Dog-Coiled Thorn also comforted, "Salmon, mustard."

Yigu Yuta forced a very weak smile: "Thank you..."

Panda and Dog Curly Thorn: "..."

No, he's been beaten so badly he's practically lost his soul...

When Etotsuyoshi went inside, the two looked at his ashen back and felt extremely sorry for him.

The panda asked uncertainly, "Is...it alright?"

Dog-Turtle Thorn was also somewhat uncertain: "Salmon...fish?"

Just then, Kinji, a second-year student, came out of the dormitory and glanced at Yuta Otsukoshi with surprise as they passed each other.

Yi Guyou gave him a weak smile.

A smile that's uglier than crying.

Kinji: "..."

Walking over to the panda and the dog-like creature, Kinji pointed in the direction of Yuta Otsuku and asked, "Who's that? Why does he look like he's half-dead?"

The panda scratched its head: "Yota Ekiku, a new transfer student in our first year. As for his condition... he went to train with Shin-san and the others today."

Upon hearing the name Fushiguro Jinji, Shinji fell silent.

He once fought against Fuhesh.

Or rather... he provoked the other party once.

As a result, they were beaten up badly.

Kinji asked in confusion, "Is this guy really good at taijutsu?"

He actually dared to go and spar with Fuheishen.

The panda chuckled awkwardly, "It's precisely because it's not strong that..."

Kinji: "..."

After a while, he commented, "Very bold, very courageous."

The panda chuckled dryly: "Haha...hahaha..."

Dog-Curl Thorn: "..."

Not to mention Kinji, even Gojo Satoru looked at Otsukoshi Yuta in surprise after learning that he had joined Fushiguro Jinji's weekend "tutoring class": "Not bad, very impressive."

Yi Gu You Tai: "..."

It really wasn't his idea to go!

Karin Oori: "Mom, Dad got praised by the teacher."

Rika was overjoyed: "Yuta is the best! Thank you for the compliment, teacher!"

"Pfft." Even Gojo Satoru couldn't help but laugh this time.

He glanced at Oriyuki Karin, then at Kaoru, and finally at Yuta Otsuko, nodding: "It's nice, it feels like a family."

Shiki Ayaka: Pfft.

Hearing Gojo Satoru say that they felt like a family, Rika was even happier, and hugged Orishika Karin and Otsuko Yuuta for another round of celebration.

Yi Gu You Tai: "..."

I wanted to cry but couldn't.

But seeing Rika so happy, Karin Oori smiled softly with her lips pursed, and Yuta Otsuko finally raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Well, this is fine too.

However, in reality...

Karin Oriyuki: Why are you smiling so softly with your lips pursed? Because—otherwise, I can't help but burst out laughing! Hahahahahaha…

——

The days passed in this chaotic mix of moments of contentment and exhaustion, like chickens and dogs scurrying about their worries...

One day, Rika, Karin, and the other first-year students, along with Satoru Gojo, played games on the playground.

What? You're asking why Rika can get along with everyone?

That's because of Osamu Karin, who's a master at soothing her mother.

Thanks to her efforts, Rika no longer only appears occasionally as in the original story, but is instead left outside almost every day.

Although Rika isn't very intelligent as a cursed spirit, she can still distinguish between simple friend and foe. Over time, she's become quite familiar with everyone.

Furthermore, almost everyone regarded her as Yuuta's wife, and several female classmates also treated Yuuta as a married man, maintaining a social distance from him. In Rika's eyes, anyone who thought she and Yuuta were a couple was a good person!

In this way, although they may not have become friends, they could at least be considered teammates on the same side.

As for why Gojo Satoru was included?

Isn't it normal for him to hang out with his students?

At this moment, the group of people were having fun. Rika was forced to team up with Karin in this game because she was on the same team as Karin in the previous game, but went to help Karin after Karin called her "Mom".

Gojo Satoru is currently being condemned by his students for cheating with no scruples. Zenin Maki is so angry that she says she wants to rip his head off and use it as a football.

As for Eto, he had just been eliminated and was sitting on the sidelines, watching the group of people on the field having a wild time, laughing uproariously along with them.

Xia Youjie came over and saw how lively the place was, smiled, and then sat down next to Yigu Youtai.

Upon seeing him arrive, Yuta Otsuko immediately called out, "Natsuyu-sensei."

Xia Youjie smiled slightly and asked him, "Are you happy?"

Yi Gu You Tai naturally smiled and nodded, then told Xia You Jie about the interesting things that had just happened on the field.

Xia Youjie smiled, looking at Yigu Youtai, who was no longer as gloomy as before, and asked him, "How do you feel now? High school, and everyone here now."

Yuta looked at everyone, especially Rika, who was having a great time playing around with everyone, along with Karin and Yuki.

Life at a vocational college is actually quite different from what Yi Guyou imagined.

The teachers seem reliable, yet also somewhat unreliable. Natsumi-sensei appears gentler and more patient, but seems a bit cunning; Gojo-sensei, on the other hand, has an unreliable air about her. I initially thought that Dr. Ieiri, who occasionally substitutes for me, would be more composed, but the things she says often...

Well, to be able to become friends with Gojo-sensei and Natsuyu-sensei, one must be quite an extraordinary person...

In comparison, Shen Ersang, who is ruthless and doesn't talk much, seems more reliable.

His classmates were all very friendly, but they always liked to eat candy from the family of three on the side and often made fun of him about it, which made Yuta Ekiku always feel very embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, he really did have a ring he made a promise with Rika, and a living daughter.

Rika has also become much easier to communicate with than before.

No, or rather, he finally learned how to communicate with Rika. This was all thanks to the advice from Kuka and Natsuyu-sensei.

Oh right, and there's also Megumi. His interactions with the shikigami also taught Otoko Yuuta some ways to communicate with Rika.

As for Kuka Risa, she was a completely unexpected daughter. No normal person would anticipate encountering something like this, right?

In reality, he still can't truly regard Kuka as his daughter; sometimes he even feels that she is more like a younger sister.

Although the image of the future Otsuki Yuuta that she brought him sometimes put pressure on him, and her attempts to make him look like a dragon among men were sometimes quite torturous for him, leaving him feeling both amused and exasperated, it must be said... she really helped him build good relationships with everyone.

Most importantly... she helped Rika get along better with everyone.

How do you feel about your life now?

Yi Gu You Tai smiled slightly: "It's very good. Everyone is very good. Thank you, Teacher Xia You, for being willing to accept me here."

Xia Youjie smiled and shook his head: "No, you decided to come yourself."

They can only save those who are also ready to be saved.

Author's note: Ahhhhhh... I just added this last sentence because I felt it was a good fit when I got to this point. I hadn't thought of arranging it this way beforehand.

Writing this gave me a chill down my spine; I wonder if anyone understands.

It feels like it was all fate's arrangement, ah... I've transcended (ascended to heaven).
