Chapter 91

Tatsuo Gojo, seething with anger, quickly finished his meal and left.

If Gojo Satoru isn't leaving, can't he leave first?

Although Gojo Satoru is not yet the head of the Gojo family, the current head of the Gojo family is ill and is just waiting for Gojo Satoru to come of age so he can abdicate, and he doesn't care about Gojo Satoru's words and actions at all.

In ordinary families, perhaps only the eldest son inherits the throne.

However, the three starter families, who have survived to this day by relying on magic, place even greater emphasis on the bloodline meaning represented by the magic they acquire.

Having awakened the [Limitless] technique and possessing the only [Six Eyes] in this world, Gojo Satoru was directly designated as the successor from the day he was born, regardless of whether he belonged to the branch family or the main family.

"So, I was brought here to receive so-called [elite education] at a very young age, and I haven't had any contact with my parents since."

With the formidable weapon, Kazuma Hagiri, in charge, this was the first time that Satoru Gojo had managed to anger those old men without getting scolded himself—in fact, they even had to swallow their anger and agree with him!

This is much more satisfying than getting a platinum trophy in a video game!

However, they still weren't full after lunch, so Gojo Satoru took Hato Kazuma out to find a restaurant and chat casually.

Kazuma Hatori, who also grew up in an ordinary family in the real world, is naturally a little curious as to why Tatsuo Gojo always tries to "discipline" Satoru Gojo, who is the next head of the Gojo family.

Moreover, even after they've been back for so many days, they haven't seen any of Xiao Wu's parents come to visit him.

The main reason is that in the last playthrough, he immediately became the head of the Kamo family, did some rather outrageous things, and implemented new rules mainly through the game's added forceful methods. He didn't really understand the internal situation of the three starter families.

That's normal. Players only need to enter the game and go on a killing spree. How could they possibly memorize every single game setting and background information?

If it weren't for the fact that he had genuinely fallen in love with the handsome Daigo during his first playthrough and wanted to give him a good ending, Hato Kazuma would be sure that he would have started this playthrough by treating Daigo to a bad meal as well.

The difference in skill level was so great that even Sonoda Shigeru of the Panxing Cult had to eat over fifty lousy meals.

Gojo Satoru was not at all surprised by the confusion in Hatoichi's words. He probably told him about the outdated and stagnant rules of feudal families, and also mentioned his own background.

However, Gojo Satoru did not show any anger, dissatisfaction, or resentment towards his experience of being separated from his parents at a very young age, perhaps because he had long been used to it.

"Actually, it doesn't really matter. Anyway, I didn't stay in the main family in Kyoto much after that. I was taken to various places since I was a child, so I have a lot of experience in exorcising cursed spirits. If I had to say, I actually spent more time in Tokyo."

Before Hato Kazuma could even begin to think about how to comfort Gojo Satoru, he had already patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't care at all and that there was nothing to worry about.

After a moment's thought, Kazuma Hatori replaced the somewhat sad and heavy topic with another question.

"So... you don't speak the Kyoto dialect either? I thought you did."

Gojo Satoru: "..."

Gojo Satoru raised one eyebrow: "What's wrong? You really like listening to the Kyoto dialect?"

“I think it’s quite cute,” Kazuma Hatori answered honestly, “just like the Kansai dialect.”

It's not that the Kyoto accent is cute, but rather that imagining a pretty girl like Kogo speaking in the Kyoto accent makes it seem adorable.

"How could the Kansai dialect be the same as the Kyoto dialect?"

Gojo Satoru stared at him speechlessly for a moment, not expecting that the other party would focus on this—it wasn't some talent show.

"You really want to hear me say something in Kyoto dialect?"

Kazuma Hatori nodded, his usually deep black eyes now sparkling with anticipation as he looked at the pretty little Satoru.

"Um."

Gojo Satoru stared intently at Hagoromo Kazuma for a moment, then a smirk appeared on his lips, revealing a particularly wicked chuckle, as if he had no intention of fulfilling the wish of this incredibly dense black Shiba Inu.

"No way—"

He said "no" using the Kyoto expression "akimahen" instead of the more common "damedesu".

Especially when Gojo Satoru pronounced the last two hiragana characters in a soft, boyish tone with a distinct nasal consonant, it sounded more like a half-complaining, coquettish complaint than a refusal.

He doesn't really speak the Kyoto dialect, but he was exposed to it from a young age and probably remembered a few commonly used Kyoto phrases.

Just when he thought he would be rejected, he suddenly received a huge surprise. Kazuma Hatori was powerless to resist and was instantly eliminated.

Sure enough... the pretty little Satoru who speaks in the Kyoto accent is incredibly cute.

Seeing this effect, Gojo Satoru was very pleased. Souto narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to ruffle the other's head.

The forum posts were right... This kid really likes me.

He thought to himself with smug pride.

Both Gojo Satoru and Hato Kazuma, who were still growing, found a family restaurant that served large portions and finally filled their stomachs.

Although eating in the game only increases Kazuma Hatori's stamina, eating with Satoru Gojo also replenishes his emotional value.

As Kazuma Hagoromo and Satoru Gojo paid the bill and left, it was a pleasant afternoon.

“I’m getting a little tired of playing games,” Gojo Satoru suggested, “How about we go fishing in the Kamo River?”

"good."

Kazuma Hagoromo had no objections.

He didn't bring the fishing gear he left at his dormitory at Tokyo Vocational College, but that didn't stop the wealthy young master from Kyoto—he only needed to launch a small financial attack, and the fishing gear would be his for the taking!

Besides the fish food, we also need to buy snacks for Xiao Wu (a character in the game).

Standing in front of the shop window, Gojo Satoru was at a loss as to what to do with the merchandise.

"The signature chestnut cream cake is indeed delicious, but the improved chocolate Mont Blanc roll looks very tempting too..."

He examined the two products back and forth, muttering to himself.

"Which one should I choose? It's so hard to decide..."

"Should we choose both?" Kazuma Hatake suggested.

“We can’t waste it,” Gojo Satoru turned to look at Hato Kazuma, his blue eyes behind his sunglasses blinking seriously. “We have to choose the sweets we crave most at this moment!”

The shop assistant behind the counter had a friendly face and a subtle smile on her lips as she quietly awaited the result of Gojo Satoru's difficult decision.

Ever since he was surrounded last time, Gojo Satoru has been wearing a baseball cap to cover his conspicuous white hair whenever he goes out, and today is no exception.

However, Gojo Satoru blocking their way only reduced the probability of them being recognized.

For example, right now, the shop assistant has already recognized them—she just hasn't said anything.

After all, the fact that Gojo Satoru would do such a covering-up means that he doesn't want to be disturbed.

But that doesn't stop her from secretly taking Zhenwu!

Wow, they really are all super handsome in person, exuding a youthful and passionate charm.

“Okay, then you choose one,” Kazuma Hatake readily agreed, “I’ll just have the other one.”

Gojo Satoru's glasses lit up immediately. "Yay!"

As expected, Kazuma Hatori is his incredibly considerate best friend!

"I'd like this chocolate Mont Blanc roll, thank you, sir!"

Gojo Satoru pointed a finger, his blue eyes filled with anticipation.

"Wow, I've never had Mont Blanc prepared this way before, I can't wait!"

Kazuma Hagoromo blinked his dark eyes. "Have you tried many different Mont Blanc dishes?"

He remembered that there weren't many variations of Mont Blanc, but according to Gojo Satoru, he seemed to have been specifically looking for Mont Blanc to eat.

So Gojo Satoru used to really like Mont Blanc?

He remembered that he preferred Japanese sweets like daifuku or dango...

"Hmm? There are so many kinds! Didn't I try the coffee-flavored Mont Blanc last time?"

Gojo Satoru counted on his fingers for him.

"There are also coconut Mont Blanc, sponge cake Mont Blanc, white chocolate Mont Blanc, fruit Mont Blanc, vanilla Mont Blanc... In short, I haven't tried my favorite Mont Blanc yet."

Kazuma Hatori was a little stunned, and subconsciously repeated it.

"Your favorite Mont Blanc?"

"Yes, that's why I keep trying out all sorts of new Mont Blanc products."

Gojo Satoru said confidently, not caring at all about being called picky about taste.

"It's because I always felt that none of these Mont Blancs met my expectations."
