Chapter 98, Chapter 12: Wearing it makes me look like an idiot.

The sparring session ended after a long time. No one was injured, but everyone was exhausted—except for Oriyuki Karin.

The reason is simple: she's just someone who stands still in one spot.

Although she hasn't yet mastered the use of infinite power, having already mastered [Haku], Karin Oriyuki is already able to use a repulsive force based on the same principle to repel enemies.

Combined with her all-around, flawless six eyes and the control over spells she had honed in previous playthroughs, anyone who faced her was basically sent flying by her spell power before they could even get close to her.

However... besides [He], she currently has no other means of attack. At six years old, she has short arms and legs, making it unlikely that she can compete with Fushiguro Megumi and the others in terms of physical skills. Therefore, she is in an awkward situation where others cannot hurt her, and she cannot hurt her opponents either.

The slight advantage she had was that she only needed to stand still and use her magic, while her opponent had to find a way to attack her and would be knocked away. In terms of stamina and fatigue, her opponent clearly looked more disheveled.

The Six Eyes technique greatly reduces the mana consumption of the Unlimited Technique, and Ayaka Kirin's mana consumption is also manageable. However, the continuous focus required for combat is quite mentally taxing.

Originally, Yuki Ayaka had only recently acquired six eyes and was not yet fully adapted to them. In addition, her five-year-old body and brain development were not as advanced as an adult's, so she was currently feeling a bit dizzy.

It still hurts a little.

However, Gojo Tsukihime was clearly not the type to show her discomfort, and she would even think that it was a sign of weakness, so Oriyuki Karin kept a straight face and didn't say anything.

Gojo Satoru noticed her slightly lighter blush and was already eager to try it out.

If his daughter is feeling unwell, isn't that the time for him, the father, to step in?

The mental image is being constructed by Gojo Satoru...

His daughter walked towards him with seemingly stubborn steps. Although she still looked expressionless, she tugged at his sleeve when she reached him and asked for a hug, looking a little embarrassed.

Aside from considering herself a boy and wanting to be independent and strong, and not wanting to burden her mother's home, Hiri, Rika, Meiri, Hanari, and Seirin all used to ask their fathers for hugs when they were tired! So Gojo Satoru is looking forward to it too!

The reality is...

With a buzzing head, Karin Oriyuki approached Satoru Gojo, tucked her small hands into her sleeves, and said to him, "It's over. Please remember your promise."

Gojo Satoru smiled and reached out his hand towards her head: "Hi hi~"

Okiya Karin unleashed a spell, trying to push his hand away.

However, when it came to using techniques without limits, Gojo Satoru was clearly superior. He directly neutralized Oriyuki Karin's repulsive force with a clockwise technique, and continued to reach his hand towards her head.

Karin Oriyuki, who hadn't moved an inch during her sparring sessions with Hisahito Itadori and the others, took a step back, looking indifferently at Satoru Gojo's outstretched hand, clearly rejecting the head pat.

Gojo Satoru paused.

In an unknown corner, the strongest heart was silently stabbed.

But Gojo Satoru was still optimistic. He thought that his daughter might just be uncomfortable and was subconsciously avoiding him.

So he reached out again with a harmless smile.

Oriyuki Ayaka: Evasion 2.0

Not only that, the child frowned this time and told him directly, "I hate being patted on the head."

Gojo Satoru: "."

The strongest heart is broken.

When the students saw this, Kugizaki Nobara couldn't help but laugh.

Serves you right! You're always playing pranks on people, now you're getting your comeuppance!

While still clutching his arm that had just been bruised, Hisahito Itadori couldn't help but remark, "Tsukihime and Sensei have very different personalities."

Kugizaki Nobara agreed wholeheartedly: "I think she's quite similar to Fushiguro; they both always have this cool, serious face."

Yuujin Itadori glanced at Megumi Fushiguro beside him: "Could it be that Tsukihime was actually raised by Fushiguro?"

After all, although Fushiguro Megumi has his own father, he was actually sold to Gojo Satoru long ago, making him, in a sense, Gojo Satoru's adopted son. Fushiguro Jinji also seems to have no intention of buying Fushiguro Megumi back.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that... if Fu Hei Hui hadn't already been sold out by him, Fu Hei Shen'er would probably have dragged Fu Hei Hui into a honey trap, selling her multiple times to make more money...

Kugizaki Nobara nodded: "I think it's very likely."

Megumi Fushiguro herself, who was being discussed: "..."

Oh well, he's used to it now.

Yoshino Junpei, standing to the side, quietly remarked, "I do think Tsukihime and Gojo-sensei look quite alike."

At first, he was a little disappointed because the other party called him weak, but later he realized that the weakness the other party was talking about and the weakness Gojo Satoru was talking about were the same thing - I didn't mean anything else, I just looked down on all of you equally.

Looking at the scene behind, Yuki Ayaka, who single-handedly sent Zhang Xiang, Itadori Yuujin, and the others flying one by one, without even touching the hem of her clothes, Yoshino Junpei had only one thought in his mind: Hmm... then we are pretty weak.

Therefore, Yoshino Junpei felt that Gojo Satoru and Gojo Tsukihime were quite similar. They both had the arrogance of a chosen one and the capriciousness of someone who was clearly spoiled. Their words were not malicious at all; they were just expressing their opinions.

Yuuji Itadori glanced at the two six-eyed men who were still locked in a stalemate over whether to pat each other's heads or not, and chuckled as he scratched his head: "That's true. But it's really great that someone can finally fully understand and see the world through the teacher's eyes. The teacher must be very happy!"

Satoru Gojo wasn't so happy right now. His daughter refused to let him touch her head, and judging from her posture, it was clear that she might fight him if he dared to touch her.

Although Gojo Satoru could easily touch Karin Oriyuki's head with his physical strength, but...

That's completely different from what he initially expected!

Gojo Satoru's sadness was written all over his face: "Eh~ But Daddy really wants to touch Tsukihime's head, is that not allowed?"

He opened his eyes wide, hoping to win over Karin Oriya's approval by acting cute.

It must be admitted that Oriyuki Karin was indeed momentarily struck by the attack.

After all, who doesn't love to look at handsome guys, especially someone as good-looking as Gojo Satoru?

But she quickly remembered all the tricks Gojo Satoru had played on her...

My mind cleared instantly, and reason returned.

Karin Origami stood calmly at a distance from Gojo Satoru, a distance that would allow her to react quickly and dodge or retaliate if the opponent launched a surprise attack.

Then he didn't look at Gojo Satoru again.

Gojo Satoru: "..."

This wasn't what he expected...

"Um... Little Moon Princess? Did you feel tired during the training just now? Do you want Daddy to hold you and rest for a while?" he asked tentatively, thinking that perhaps the child was shy and embarrassed to say it.

Ayaka Kaori replied indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, I'm not tired."

Although her head was still a little dizzy, she was now the six-eyed goddess of the Gojo family, so how could she show weakness over such a small matter?

Gojo Satoru could tell she was putting on a brave face, so he said, "If you're tired, there's no need to force yourself. We're not in front of other people, and I'm your dad, right?"

Karin Oori: You don't understand. It's only in front of my dad, whom I care about the most, that I want to perform my best!

She turned to look at Gojo Satoru and said firmly, "I'm not forcing myself, I'm fine."

They were clearly putting on a stubborn act.

He even retorted, "Father, are you the kind of person who gets tired just from this little battle?"

Gojo Satoru: "..."

This conversation feels somewhat familiar.

Did this just happen recently?

In the end, Satoru Gojo still didn't get to hold his daughter.

Gojo Satoru: qwq...

Where exactly did things go wrong?

The class officially began, and Gojo Satoru started teaching the students, while Oriyuki Karin closed her eyes to rest.

For Liu Yan, closing her eyes doesn't affect her vision, so it doesn't seem like she's slacking off or sleeping.

Gojo Satoru wanted to show his father's thoughtfulness, so he took out an eye patch and asked Oriyuki Karin if she wanted to wear it.

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

"No need, thank you."

Their politeness was unlike that of a father and daughter.

Gojo Satoru thought she was just being polite, so he reached out to help her put it on: "Don't be so shy and polite~ It feels much more comfortable to wear this, I wear it all the time myself."

Karin Origami decisively dodged, frowned and showed a disgusted expression, saying bluntly, "I'm not being polite, this... makes you look like an idiot when you wear it."

Gojo Satoru, who wears it almost every day: "?"

Kugizaki Nobara, standing nearby: "Pfft—"

Sanxiang, looking rather foolish, turned to Xuetu and asked, "Brother, did she call us idiots?"

Xue Tu stroked her younger brother's head and explained, "No, she meant she felt like an idiot."

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

She just wanted to attack Gojo Satoru, but somehow the boomerang ended up sticking in her own body.

The wicked girl slapped her younger brother on the head: "Idiot, she's saying the teacher is like an idiot."

The bone structure muttered from behind, "Wasn't the teacher an idiot to begin with?"

Gojo Satoru: "..."

Kugizaki Nobara was laughing hysterically: "Hahahahahahaha..."

Yuuji Itadori and Junpei Yoshino were barely holding back their laughter; their shoulders were shaking so badly. Even Megumi Fushiguro couldn't help but turn her head away and cough lightly to cover her laughter.

To be honest, even Yuki Ayaka almost couldn't hold back. She had to think through all the saddest things in her life before she could barely move the corner of her mouth.

However, even this slight change was noticed by Gojo Satoru.

He is, after all, six-eyed.

Gojo Satoru suddenly turned his head to face Oriyuki Karin, staring intently at her.

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

"Little Moon Princess, you just laughed, didn't you?"

Although he was heartbroken because he suspected his daughter disliked him, Gojo Satoru was still drawn to the faint smile that Oriyuki Karin had just revealed.

Gojo Satoru, an extremely optimistic person, almost always had a smile on his face. But he also noticed that his own daughter didn't seem to smile much. This was the first time he had seen the child smile since they met.

Even though it seemed like they were mocking him...

Karin Origami had already suppressed her smile and replied stiffly, "No, you must be mistaken."

Gojo Satoru pointed to his eyes: "Do you think I could be mistaken?"

Gojo Tsukihime: "Oh."

Since she'd already been seen through, she had no intention of lying.

The child looked up and calmly asked, "Yes, I smiled, so what?"

He had an attitude that said, "What can you do to me?"

Gojo Satoru: "..."

No, why does it sound like he's interrogating the other person?

Is this the right path for development?

Gojo Satoru finally couldn't help but ask, "Little Tsukihime, don't you think you're not very cute?"

He had been holding these words in for a long time, and now he finally said them.

Karin Oriyuki thought to herself: I wasn't here to fulfill your lovely daughter's wish in the first place!

Her gaze remained calm as she replied, "Isn't that right? I am six-eyed. All I need to do is be strong enough, calm, and shoulder the responsibilities of my family and the sorcerer. Why should I be cute? What benefit would that bring to me or my family?"

Gojo Satoru was taken aback by her words.

What kind of sound argument is this?!

"Wait, putting aside whether it's cute or not, I want to ask another question now." Gojo Satoru finally couldn't hold back any longer.

As always, Oriyuki Ayakari maintained her polite yet aloof goddess demeanor, nodding slightly: "Please ask."

"Who taught you all of this... I mean, all of this that you just mentioned?"

He'll go back to his family home later and beat them up first.

“Elders,” the child answered, voicing her own question, “but the elders say that these are words Father said when he was alive, aren’t they?”

Gojo Satoru: "...?"

Upon hearing her words, not only Gojo Satoru was puzzled, but even the students present were left wondering what was going on.

Huh? Being powerful is one thing, Gojo Satoru is indeed powerful. But... calm down?

Gojo Satoru's lips twitched involuntarily.

Seeing this, the child pursed his lips.

Although she didn't answer, she roughly understood from Gojo Satoru's expression.

The elders' descriptions of the father were probably somewhat embellished.

The little goddess fell into deep thought.

-----------------------

Author's Note: Given the recent dissatisfaction in the comments section, let me offer a brief explanation. I'm not trying to excuse myself; the delays in updating are definitely my fault. I'm just saying this because many people want an explanation.

It's not that I was busy three times, as everyone thinks. Actually, I'm a full-time writer; if I don't write, I have no income. But even so, I've still stopped updating for so long, which is equivalent to a long period without income. Because my condition was really bad recently, I couldn't sit down and write properly at all. I don't know what happened to me. It wasn't writer's block; I knew exactly how the plot would develop, but I just couldn't calm myself down and write it down. Maybe it's because I've been writing alone at home in an unfamiliar city for so long. I don't know, and I can't think of any other reason.

This started around August or September of last year, and around that time, my updates became very unstable. I tried to adjust intermittently, but it never really got better; I was just forcing myself to write. Then, in February of this year, I felt like the pent-up problems had completely exploded, and I even considered giving up on writing altogether. I had hoped to stay with my boyfriend for a while, thinking he might be able to help me sort things out, but I met the wrong person, which made things even worse, and I was on the verge of a breakdown. I won't go into the details, but it was definitely my personal fault for not handling things well, and I apologize to everyone.

I haven't been looking at the comments section or Weibo lately, but I can roughly guess what the situation will be like. I'm not sure if I can handle this in my current state, so I'm temporarily running away. I'm sorry.

I haven't posted the sick leave note yet because I'm not sure when I'll be fully recovered. At the beginning of this month, my mother came from our hometown to be with me, and I felt a little better, so I finally managed to post a sick leave note. But I can't guarantee I can maintain daily updates right now. I can only say that I still want to write, and I'll gradually finish these books I have on hand, one by one. After that, I'll adjust my condition and then consider starting a new book.

I'm sorry for letting everyone down during this time.
