Chapter 96, Chapter 10: The Nemesis of Enlightenment

Karin Ayaka agreed to go back to the high school with Satoru Gojo.

The process is very simple—

Gojo Satoru asked, "Does Tsukihime want to go back to the vocational high school with her father?"

Karin Origami did not answer immediately, showing a somewhat hesitant attitude.

Then Gojo Satoru automatically added some conditions: First, she can come out to play anytime she wants, he won't restrict her, and he can take her out to play; Second, if she goes to the high school, Gojo Satoru can teach her techniques and train her; Third, he can act cute and pitiful, and use his big, bright eyes to charm Yuki Ayaka.

"Come on~ Daddy really wants to live with Tsukihime, and you definitely want to live with Daddy too, right, Tsukihime~"

As Yuki Ayaka looked at Gojo Satoru, who was acting cute towards her, she couldn't tell who her father was for a moment.

She was more curious to know if Gojo Satoru would cry if she said she didn't want to at that moment.

So she said, "I don't want to."

Gojo Satoru:?

Five Wuka Machines.

Gojo Satoru blinked: "Did I hear that right? I think I just heard Tsukihime say 'no'? No, I must have misheard, right? She actually said 'yes,' right?"

Karin looked at him calmly: "You heard me right, I said I don't want to."

Gojo Satoru happily clasped his hands together: "Yoshi! Since you, Tsukihime, also want to stay with Daddy, let's go back to the vocational high school tomorrow!"

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

Do you have selective hearing loss?

After some hesitation, Karin Oriyuki didn't object further. After all... Princess Gojo would probably also want to see the place where her father used to work.

Although, according to the established setting, she should have attended a vocational high school and met students like Yuta Otokotsu, Yuujin Itadori, and Satoru Gojo, this is different; this was a vocational high school when her father was still alive.

And so, she acquiesced to Gojo Satoru's final decision.

Upon seeing this, Gojo Satoru thought to himself: As expected, Tsukihime still likes him very much!

——

That evening, Xia Youjie received a call from Wutiao Wu.

The other party was overjoyed to share with Xia Youjie his meeting with Zhi Xueya Huali today, the main point of which was—his daughter is super cute!

Xia Youjie: "..."

Gojo Satoru was happy. He had done the work of two people today and was exhausted. In the end, he still had to listen to Gojo Satoru chattering away.

"If you're free right now, go and write the mission report!" Xia Youjie really wanted to punch the cat.

Gojo Satoru was in a good mood and actually accepted the task of writing the task report.

He was multitasking, writing a mission report while simultaneously chatting with Xia Youjie about his adorable daughter and making a fuss about the elders of the Gotiao family.

Who told them to turn their adorable daughter into someone who constantly swears "boku" and always dresses in men's clothing?

Seeing that he harbored deep resentment about this, Xia Youjie took the opportunity to suggest that they should deal with these rotten oranges who favored boys over girls.

It was quite a coincidence that Xia Youjie, a master of manipulating power, managed to gather a group of sorcerers from his own faction, even though he didn't become the cult leader.

Since Xia Youjie didn't defect, Gojo Satoru has become much more compliant over the years, simply obeying Xia Youjie's every command, essentially acting as Xia Youjie's henchman while doing nothing. If Xia Youjie wanted to mobilize the Gojo family's influence, it was just a matter of a casual remark to Gojo Satoru. What was called the Gojo faction in the original work should now be called the Xia Youjie faction.

Clearly, Xia Youjie's ability to develop his influence is stronger than that of Wujiao Wu. In addition to Wujiao's faction from the original work, many other people have been absorbed by Xia Youjie, and he now has considerable influence in the General Affairs Department.

However, Zen-in and Kamo probably didn't want to admit that Xia Youjie, a commoner sorcerer, could rival them. So they insisted that it was all because of Gojo Satoru and the Gojo family. Therefore, they stubbornly continued to label Xia Youjie and all the members of the faction he developed as the Gojo faction. They were extremely stubborn.

Perhaps they still believe that Xia Youjie's success is inextricably linked to Gojo Satoru and the Gojo family.

They had even tried to sow discord between Gojo Satoru and Natsume, believing that creating a rift between the two would resolve the current situation. If they could make them enemies, all the better, then they could sit back and watch them fight it out.

But clearly, it's impossible for Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suke to have a falling out.

Xia Youjie's defection has been used by Gojo Satoru to mock him for so many years, yet Xia Youjie still broke up with Gojo Satoru. Doesn't that make him look like a fool?

Gojo Satoru had promised Natsuyu Ayakari that he would keep a close eye on Natsuyu Jie. If he were to fall out with Natsuyu Jie again, wouldn't that make him look cheap?

In short, all of the director's plans fell through, and Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Jie, who didn't want to be fools, always mocked those rotten oranges as if they were idiots.

The idea of ​​correcting the gender bias in the world of sorcery had already been a plan in Xia Youjie's mind for some time.

The reason was that he wanted to promote several women, but because the directors were mostly from aristocratic families and had always looked down on women, he found many reasons to thwart the matter.

Because of this, Xia Youjie had long wanted to deal with those rotten oranges. Now that Gojo Satoru was also in a bad mood, Xia Youjie took the opportunity to bring it up again.

"Sure, let's do it then. Tell me who you want to team up with." Gojo Satoru never had any ideas about male superiority or female inferiority. In his view, they were all the same and couldn't beat him. He also hated those guys who were clearly terrible at the game but still thought they were superior because they were men.

More than that, he cared about...

"Jay, let me tell you, Xiaoyueji's voice is incredibly sweet! It's so soft and sweet! It's a million times sweeter than strawberry cake, mango pudding, or red bean daifuku!"

Xia Youjie: "..."

Oh (indifferent face).

That night, Xia Youjie was forced to cram a whole bunch of information about Gojo Tsukihime, even down to the details of how many eyelashes she had, and that her eyelashes were longer than Ieiri Shoko's but shorter than Gojo Satoru's, but with a curl that completely outshone everyone else's.

Indeed, Gojo Satoru's observation of his daughter was that meticulous.

Xia Youjie: "..."

Although he knew that this amount of information was something that Six Eyes could easily obtain with a glance, and that the object of his observation was the other party's daughter, it still made Gojo Satoru seem like a pervert.

"We're just former classmates and now colleagues, right?" Xia Youjie said this seemingly out of the blue.

"Huh? What?" Gojo Satoru was dumbfounded. "Aren't we best friends? Jetsu, did you eat too many Cursed Spirit Balls and get mentally unstable?"

"...No, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xia Youjie just didn't want to admit that he and the other person were friends...

——

The next day, Gojo Satoru took Oriyuki Karin back to the high school and excitedly planned to take his daughter shopping for daily necessities that afternoon, and to buy her some pretty dresses to change out of her plain and dull-colored men's clothes.

Just as he was about to leave, he ran into Xia Youjie.

Before the other party could speak, Gojo Satoru teleported in front of Natsuyuki Karin with Yuki Ayaka.

What? You're asking what I need to do?

Of course, they're here to show off.

"Jay! Come look! My daughter! Isn't she adorable!"

Today, Gojo Satoru was still not wearing an eye patch; his sunglasses only covered half of his eyes, and his face was squeezed together with that of Oriyuki Karin.

Two pairs of six eyes, one pair clear and lively, the other calm and serene, combined with their naturally superior and impeccable features, create a picture so beautiful it seems impossible for the real world to exist.

The emotions in their eyes, one big and one small, always seemed to need to be changed, as if that would be more in line with their ages.

"This is... Tsukihime-chan? Hello, I'm Natsuyu Jie." Natsuyu Jie greeted Oriyuki Ayakari with a smile.

Karin Oriyuki's expression was indifferent, but she nodded slightly in a very polite manner: "Excuse me, please wait a moment."

Looking at Gojo Satoru again, she said haughtily, "Father, please put me down. This is very uncomfortable."

"Hey~ Doesn't Little Moon Princess want to cuddle with Daddy?" Gojo Satoru pouted.

The child remained silent for a moment.

She still felt that Gojo Satoru was not quite the father she had imagined, which left her somewhat at a loss.

After holding it in for a long time, she could only manage to say one sentence: "Please put me down."

Gojo Satoru: "."

My daughter seems to be a child who has no interest in life.

"What if I don't let go? What will you do, Little Moon Princess?" He suddenly wanted to ask this question.

Karin Oriyuki pursed her lips and uttered six words: "Please don't do this."

Gojo Satoru: "..."

How boring!

Gojo Satoru put down Oriyuki Karin, who, adhering to proper etiquette, bowed slightly to him and thanked him. Her posture could be described as very aristocratic.

Xia Youjie was somewhat surprised by the interaction between the two.

It wasn't that he was surprised by the other person's men's kimono and his constant use of the self-designation "boku," since he already knew all of that last night.

He was simply a little surprised by the child's personality... so calm and composed, with impeccable manners, and perhaps even a bit old-fashioned...

It's not very polite to say this, but... he doesn't really look like Gojo Satoru's son.

At this moment, Ayaka Shiki also turned her attention to Natsumi Yuki.

Hmm... Six Eyes can see many spells on the other person's body, very "colorful".

It's clear that the opponent has used the technique of extracting cursed spirits quite a bit over the years. No wonder he can fight Gojo Satoru to a standstill, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

It's just a bit too much for my eyes. I really don't know how Gojo Satoru spends so much time with him. Asuka Karin only needs one look at him to feel that he's too much of a nuisance.

She gave Xia Youjie a polite nod, adding a response to his earlier greeting: "Hello, actually I'm Gojo Tsukihime. You can call me Akari or Tsukihime, but please don't add 'chan' to it."

She made it clear that she disliked the cute nickname "Jiang".

She tolerated Gojo Satoru calling her "Little Tsukihime," after all, he was her father. But others—no way.

Xia Youjie had to admit that Wu Tiao Wu was right; the child was indeed somewhat cute.

Mingming was only slightly taller than Xia Youya Huali back then, but she was serious and stern like a little adult, which was a kind of cute contrast.

He smiled and nodded: "Yes, Tsukihime."

Karin Oriyuki expressed her gratitude: "Thank you."

She looked again at the colorful aura on Xia Youjie's body and asked, "You have many spells on your body, how do you do that?"

He addressed her with the polite "you" in every tone, which sounded very courteous. But his direct questioning was anything but polite, giving him a bit of the "Six-Eyed Woman" vibe.

Even though the other person was clearly looking up at him, Xia Youjie felt as if he were being looked down upon. The arrogance in the child's bones was evident.

Xia Youjie smiled slightly, not caring about it, and was about to answer when Wutiao Wu had already explained it for him.

Although what was said wasn't very pleasant—

"Jay's technique is Spirit Manipulation, which you can think of as a summoner. It allows him to control spirits and use them for his own purposes. However, he has to swallow the spirits whole, and it's said to be super—unpalatable, ugh—"

To emphasize how awful it was, Gojo Satoru even stuck out his tongue dramatically, looking like he was about to die.

Xia Youjie: "..."

Continuing on, Gojo Satoru started tugging at Natsume's clothes, sleeves, and hair, explaining as he did so: "As for these messy and eye-catching spells on his body, they were all extracted from the curse spirits. Anyone above the Quasi-Level 1 can extract the curse spirits' spells and use them themselves."

"The fighting style is incredibly diverse and looks absolutely awful, but it still looks pretty jarring now, don't you think?" Gojo Satoru sought to reach a consensus with Oriyuki Karin.

Xia Youjie, who was being pulled around, had a "well" shape appear on his head. He clenched his fist, wanting to punch the cat.

Gojo Satoru found this feeling quite novel. Although he could describe the world he saw to others before, no matter how imaginative the other person was, they could never actually see the same things as him.

But now—Oriyuki Akarin is possible!

Origami Karin is indeed good, and she also thinks that Natsume looks quite colorful, but that doesn't mean she has to agree with Gojo Satoru.

She calmly looked at Gojo Satoru and replied with two words: "It's alright."

Gojo Satoru: "."

He stared wide-eyed: "How is it okay? This one is clearly much more eye-catching than the others!"

Xia Youjie: = =#

"Can you let go of my bangs before you say all this?" He kicked him.

Gojo Satoru dodged Natsuyuu's kick as if nothing had happened, his gaze still fixed on Oriyuki Karin.

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

A moment's sympathy for Jay, but Karin Origami still coldly replied, "I think it's fine. Does this bother you?"

Her question was met with a hint of surprise in her expression as she looked at Gojo Satoru.

That expression seemed to say—No way? Aren't you the strongest in the world of sorcery? You're not good enough now?

Gojo Satoru: "..."

He released Xia Youjie: "How could that be? I just thought it looked a bit lively. What's so special about this amount of information?"

Karin Oriyuki nodded, her expression of doubt disappearing.

This is the strength of her father as she understood it.

Gojo Satoru: "..."

Although I was recognized, I didn't feel happy at all.

It seems that this wasn't what he initially wanted to gain approval for...

Xia Youjie saw Wu Tiao Wu's frustration and laughed gleefully.

As the saying goes, every creature has its nemesis, and Xia Youjie felt that his nemesis had been born.
