Chapter 46 Don’t underestimate the determination of the poor
Ever since Hui could remember, he could see some strange things. But when he asked the people around him, they said they couldn't see it and told him to stop lying.
When he asked his unreliable father, he finally got a positive answer. He said those monsters were called cursed spirits, formed when humans released cursed energy due to their negative emotions.
That day, his father rarely smiled at him. It was a bit disgusting and a bit scary, but a hint of joy surged in Hui's heart.
Young Hui had complicated feelings towards her father, but all these came to an abrupt end when her father remarried.
Hui's name became Fushiguro Hui, and his father suddenly disappeared after taking him to his stepmother's house.
It was as if his remarriage was just to abandon me.
It seemed that his father would send money home regularly, so Megumi Fushiguro still lived in his stepmother's house, and he also had a gentle stepsister.
However, they could not see the cursed spirits, so naturally they could not exorcise the cursed spirits that were haunting them.
Megumi Fushiguro began to pretend that she didn't see the cursed spirits. Her father had said that most of the cursed spirits that appeared outside would not come to you as long as you didn't make their eyes.
A long time has passed since his father disappeared. When Fushiguro Megumi thought that his life would go on like this, a strange man came to his door.
"Hello, are you little Megumi Fushiguro?"
The man was wearing a black uniform with swirling buttons, and looked like a high school student, but Megumi Fushiguro had never seen a school with such a uniform nearby.
He had his hair tied into a bun with a strange fringe hanging on his forehead. He was tall and strong, but he squatted down when he spoke.
He was smiling and his tone was gentle, looking like a good guy, but Megumi Fushiguro took a step back warily.
Could it be that this was the debt incurred by his father who ran away?
...It's actually not wrong to think so.
Because Fushiguro Shigeru did sell him out.
It's just that the transaction was transferred from the Zenin family to the Gojo family.
On the one hand, Gojo Satoru gave him more money, and on the other hand, he really wanted to see a child with the blood of the Zenin family, but when he went to the Gojo family, he wondered what expressions the old men of the Zenin family would have.
"Who are you?" Fushiguro Megumi asked coldly.
Xia Youjie looked at the little cub who seemed to be whispering threats to him and couldn't help but laugh.
Fushiguro Megumi was stunned, then his brows frowned even more tightly.
"Don't be afraid, kid. I'm not a weird person." Xia Youjie waved his hand. "Your father asked me to come here." Xia Youjie said half-truthfully.
You can't tell a child that he was sold out by his father. Xia Youjie would not do such a thing, and such words would make it easier for the child to trust him.
"...Really?" Fushiguro Megumi looked at him in astonishment.
"Really, Xiaohui can see this too?" Xia Youjie became more and more aggressive and called him by his nickname, speaking in a low voice as if he was coaxing a child.
He raised his hand and summoned a small cursed spirit.
Megumi Fushiguro opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief. Could those cursed spirits be summoned artificially?
"The fact that you can see the curse spirit proves that you have the talent to become a sorcerer. Do you want to come and learn with me? This way you can better protect your family." Xia Youjie took back the curse spirit, raised his hand and patted his little head, his eyes fell behind him.
Fushiguro Megumi turned around and saw that it was his stepsister, Fushiguro Miki, who was looking at him worriedly not far away.
After a long time, Fushiguro Megumi turned around.
"I understand. I'm going." Fushiguro Megumi's face was serious and solemn, with an expression of being ready to die.
If this is what his father hopes for, and if this is how he can protect the important people, then he is willing to give it a try no matter how hard, tiring or dangerous it is.
And so, one weekend, Megumi Fushiguro put on her small schoolbag and set foot in a new world under the worried gaze of her sister.
However, this world is not quite what he imagined.
Megumi Fushiguro rubbed her face which was pinched red by someone, and the light in her eyes disappeared. I always feel like I've been tricked into a strange place.
Who would pinch others to confirm whether it is real? Don't people usually pinch themselves?
But then again, she didn't open her mouth just now, so why could I hear her voice? Fushiguro Megumi fell into deep thought.
[Foshiguro Megumi, speaking of this point in the book, Fushiguro Jōrō had already died, and his stepmother ran away, abandoning her two children because she didn't send him any money after his death. But in reality, Fushiguro Shinobu is not dead, so Fushiguro Megumi should not have become a poor little thing. 】Kanda Kanon recalled the plot in the book.
……ah? Fushiguro Megumi raised her head with a dull look, looking at the girl who looked normal, and her doubts grew more and more.
His father died? No, it seems that he is not dead... Is he dead or not? His stepmother is indeed not gone, and life at home is pretty good, so his father is indeed not dead.
Megumi Fushiguro wondered uncertainly whether his father was dead or not.
...No, what do you mean his father died in the book? Megumi Fushiguro noticed something was wrong.
[Speaking of which, that guy Nozomi used his sister's body as a container for Wan in the future, and before that he was cursed by Hachijo Bridge and fell into a coma. His fate is quite rough. 】
However, the plot in the book does not correspond to reality, and Kanda Kanon was just expressing her feelings.
But when these words fell into Fushiguro Megumi's ears, it sounded different.
What future? What happened to Tsu Miki's future? Cursed? Little Megumi Fushiguro couldn't understand everything she said, but she did understand what she said even though she was in a coma due to the curse.
[Speaking of which, the part in the book where his father’s soul was summoned and resurrected was also quite exciting. After losing his mind and becoming a killing machine, he finally regained his sanity after beating his son half to death. 】
[He seemed relieved to hear that his last name was still Fushiguro. In order not to lose his mind and kill Fushiguro Megumi again, Fushiguro Shinobu chose to commit suicide. Who would not say after reading this that he still loves his son? 】
After these words were spoken, even Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, who were watching the fun nearby, couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
That scumbag father who abandoned and sold his son actually loved his son very much? What a joke.
However, in the future, Fushiguro Shigeki was resurrected and chose to commit suicide, which surprised them both.
This inner voice once again pointed out the person named Nozomi. Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"What's wrong?" Kanda Kanon's voice rang out.
They both looked up and saw that Fushiguro Megumi had grabbed her hand at some point, and Kanda Kanon, who was caught, was obviously confused.
Could it be that... the two boys' pupils were shaking.
Fushiguro Megumi's small body was trembling, and he subconsciously grabbed the hand of the girl in front of him.
'Future', Megumi Fushiguro keenly captured the key word. Even for him it was not difficult to understand what it meant.
And most importantly, she said his father loved him. In order to protect him, she ended her own life.
Sorcerers have all kinds of techniques, that's what Geto Suguru told him. He can summon cursed spirits himself, and he possesses the skills to control them.
The technique used by this girl was obviously the information about the future that he had heard.
Megumi Fushiguro opened her mouth, looking anxious and wanting to ask more. Whether it was about Tsu Miki or his father, he wanted to know more.
"Sister, Tsu Miki is beeping--" But the question that came out of her mouth turned into beeps, and Fushiguro Megumi's brain froze.
Then he spoke again tentatively: "Then my father beeps beeps beeps--"
…
There was silence.
Everyone's eyes fell on him. The twin sisters who had been observing the situation silently gathered together and started whispering.
[…Does the sorcerer like bbox so much?] 】Kanda Kanon couldn’t understand.
"Do you like singing? How about I take you to KTV?" Kanda Kanon touched the little boy's head lovingly.
[I want to sing in front of so many people. This shows how much I love singing. Stop being a sorcerer. I support you in becoming a singing king! 】
...Shut up! For the first time in her short life, young Megumi Fushiguro experienced the embarrassing feeling of wanting to die.
"...I don't want to go." Fushiguro Megumi learned her lesson and never mentioned anything about her sister and father again.
"You're welcome, sister is very rich!" Kanda Kanon gave a thumbs up and smiled proudly.
She is no longer the poor girl she was when she first entered technical college.
Of course, he didn't become rich because of the pocket money given by Gojo Satoru, but because of the money he took from the Kanda family.
It all started on a day when I was so bored that I was panicking.
That day, when she was having lunch with Gojo Satoru as usual, he suddenly stared at her and said something.
"Want to go home?"
Kanda Kanon, who was eating thick omelette, almost choked to death when she heard this.
"Ahem! What!" Kanda Kanon turned her head suddenly. This was simply an alarmist statement.
Was he saying that he was going to send her back to the oppressive and corrupt Kanda family?
Not to mention when she was determined to run away, even now that she is no longer in a hurry to run away, she has never thought about going back.
"I heard that your family didn't even give you enough living expenses when you came to technical college, so you had to cut back on food and clothing and live a hard life?" Gojo Satoru supported his chin and spoke slowly.
[…That’s right!] 】Only then did Kanda Kanon remember the hard days she had just experienced when she arrived at the technical high school.
[At that time, I swore to cancel the engagement and not let those scumbags in my family get what they wanted! 】
Gojo Satoru: …
He clenched his fists silently. It turned out that he had worked so hard to pursue his wife, and the Kanda family also contributed to it.
"Isn't Kanon the legitimate daughter of the family? Don't you want to take back everything that belongs to you?" Gojo Satoru lowered his voice, his tone bewitching.
Anyway, Kanda Kanon was moved.
Indeed, it is impossible to have a good thing in the world if you want the horse to run but don't give it grass to eat.
Although she still didn't want the Kanda family to benefit from anything, she had to pay the price for all the things they had done before, including using her or Kanda Kanon.
"You're right, I have to go back!" Kanda Kanon clenched her fists, fire burning in her eyes.
She, Kanda Kanon, is determined to make these trash pay the price!
Now that the decision has been made, there is no time to lose and we should hurry back.
Kanda Kanon quickly returned to the dormitory and changed into her battle robe which she had not worn for a long time.
She changed into the red kimono she wore when she first arrived at technical college. Large cherry blossoms dotted it, making her look even more delicate and charming.
Her black hair makes her fair skin even brighter. She took out some cosmetics that she rarely used, applied the red lipstick to the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and then applied it on her lips.
The beautiful face with rich colors is even more charming.
Kanda Kanon straightened her body and walked out of the room, strolling gracefully like the arrogant noble lady she was when she first entered school.
However, he never expected that Gojo Satoru would follow him.
Kanda Kanon: “…Hmm?”
"Red really suits you~" Gojo Satoru smiled happily, "Let's go, it's time to make those old guys pay the price."
[…Forget it, if you want to go play, just go ahead.] Actually, it would be more effective to let Gojo Satoru deal with them. 】
On that day, the people of the Kanda family who received the news began to make preparations busily.
"The eldest lady is back with the young master of the Gojo family!!!"
Everyone was looking forward to seeing the young master of the Gojo family.
It would be even better if I could get the protection of the Gojo family.
"Hahahaha, good, good, good, you are worthy of being the perfect wife carefully created by our clan. You won the young master of the Gojo family so quickly!" The current head of the Kanda family, Kanda Kanon's biological father, Kanda Masateru, said with a loud laugh.
The butler standing by looked hesitant. He was still puzzled by the abnormal behavior of the eldest lady when she first entered school.
However, after being sent to the Six-Eyed Goddess of the Gojo family, no news came back. It was probably just an act of rebellion by the eldest daughter.
With all the considerations, a luxury car stopped at the door of the Kanda family.
After much anticipation, and to the surprise of the Kanda family, the first person to get off the car was a white-haired young man.
He ignored everyone and walked around half of the car to the door on the other side. He pulled the handle to open the door and considerately placed his other hand on the door frame, as if he was worried that the person inside might get hit and injured.
Then, a sea of red came into view, followed by a delicate hand placed in the palm of the white-haired boy's hand, and slowly walked out of the car.
The black-haired girl's half-smile appeared in everyone's eyes. Her proud head never lowered. A trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and her brows were full of contempt for everyone.
"Hmph, it's been a long time no see, father." The girl took the arm of the white-haired boy next to her and spoke nonchalantly.
Kanda Masaki looked confused.
"You are...Kane?"
When he saw the girl's familiar face clearly, Kanda Masaaki spoke in surprise.
The man in his fifties looked like he could fit an egg in his mouth. He looked at Kanda Kanon in disbelief. From top to bottom, there was no part of her that matched the person in his memory.
It’s bad. I sent my daughter away thinking she had reached her rebellious period, but she came back even more rebellious. What should I do?
Kanda Masaaki broke out in a cold sweat.
