Chapter 47 Exploded
The Kanda family is an unknown third-rate family in the world of sorcery. There are neither outstanding talents nor excellent techniques passed down from generation to generation. The head of the family, Kanda Masaaki, is just a second-level sorcerer.
The lowest of the low, the mediocre of the mediocre.
Even so, to the surprise of many people, the Kanda family had an engagement with the Gojo family, one of the top families in the world of sorcery.
And it was the Gojo family who took the initiative to come to the door.
Kanda Masateru, who had just lost his wife, immediately put aside his sorrow and agreed immediately as he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word.
Since then, although she lost her mother and soon had a stepmother and countless illegitimate brothers and sisters, Kanda Kanon still became the apple of the eye of the entire Kanda family.
Considering that the other party was the famous Six-Eyed Goddess, Kanda Masaaki originally intended to train her into an excellent magician.
However, Kanda Kanon does not have the talent to become a magician.
Usually at the age of five or six, a sorcerer will awaken his or her skills, but Kanda Kanon shows no signs of doing so. Not only that, his cursed energy is pitifully small, and his body cannot withstand even a little training. Kanda Masateru finally gave up. Perhaps this was the fate of a bottom-tier family.
Kanda Masateru finally chose to train her to be a perfect wife.
From the daily classes to the maintenance of this body to the etiquette and rules that a lady should follow, Kanda Kanon's time is fully occupied.
From then on, Kanda Kanon became a puppet used by the Kanda family to prosper the family.
It was not until the arrival of another Kanda Kanon that the shackles on her body were finally broken.
The Kanda family did a lot of face-saving work for this marriage engagement, and decorated the small residential plot in a very presentable manner. Moreover, it is the simple and elegant style that these old guys like the most. At first glance, you would think you have traveled back to the Edo period.
To sum up, it is a modern society where there is not even a decent electrical appliance at home.
"Wow, the smell is even stronger than that of the Gojo family. It's a pity you haven't assimilated into this place."
Walking on the corridor of the Kanda family, Gojo Satoru leaned close to Kanda Kanon's ear and whispered.
"Don't lump me in with these idiots, Wu-kun." Kanda Kanon sneered, her tone quite bad.
Kanda Masateru, who was walking in front and leading the way, dared not say anything, and the others pretended not to hear.
I can’t afford to offend you. I really can’t afford to offend you.
The two were brought to a large room specially used for receptions, and Kanda Masaki welcomed Gojo Satoru into the room with a flattering look on his face.
This is the first time this room has been used since it was built. There are usually no distinguished guests coming here, and everything is still brand new.
The servant prepared snacks and tea and left. Only Kanda Masayoshi and the other two elders of the Kanda family were left in the room to continue entertaining the guests.
[It must be said that this poor family doesn't have much strength, but they have learned all the tricks of the upper-class families. 】
"Puff!" Gojo Satoru couldn't help it.
Kanda Masaki was stunned: "Uh... Master Gojo, have you thought of something interesting?"
Gojo Satoru picked up the tea and took a sip, then stuck out his tongue because it was so bitter. He fell onto Kanda Kanon's shoulder like a giant cat that had eaten something unpalatable.
He looked down at the old man opposite him and said nonchalantly, "Why do people always imitate others in this world?"
He was like an annoying and arrogant brat. As a guest, he had no respect for the host. He didn't take anything of the Kanda family seriously and even showed no respect to an old man who was several generations older than him.
Just so easily, he trampled all their face and dignity under his feet.
But no one present dared to refute him.
In the world of sorcery, strength is respected. Your useless age will not earn you any respect. Facing an existence that can easily destroy you, you can only bow your head in submission.
"Hehe." Kanda Kanon half covered her mouth with her sleeve, the sarcasm in her eyes almost overflowing, "How funny, my father also has times when he is servile."
"How dare you!" Kanda Masaaki slammed the table and pointed at her with his eyes wide open, his fingers shaking with anger.
But the next second, Gojo Satoru pinched his finger with two fingers and bent it hard.
"Ah!!!" Kanda Masaki felt pain, but he could not compare to Gojo Satoru's strength.
The joints turned white because they were broken and could not bleed. Kanda Masaaki was so scared that he immediately retracted his hand. If he didn't let go, his fingers would be broken.
"You are actually an idiot. Can't you see how much I like Kanon? How dare you boss her around? If you do that again, I'll kill you~"
The words were said frivolously and with a smile, as if in a joke, but there was a cold light in those six eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
But Kanda Kanon on the side was very happy.
[Is this what it means to be a fox taking advantage of the tiger's might? Seeing you guys so aggrieved, I feel relieved, hahahaha. 】
Kanda Masateru's heart tightened. Although the rules of sorcery did not allow sorcerers to kill people at will, he always felt that Gojo Satoru was not joking.
"Seeing how loving you two are, I feel relieved." Kanda Masaaki forced a smile, "So what brings you here today?"
"Can't you see that?" Gojo Satoru said in surprise, "Are you getting old and confused? Can't you see that we are here to cause trouble?"
Kanda Masateru and the two elders who dared not speak: …
Although they had heard something about it, Gojo Satoru was even more naughty and unreasonable than they said. No wonder their eldest daughter became more and more rebellious after going to live with him.
...Forget it, forget it. As long as I can establish a relationship with the Gojo family, I can endure this little bit of anger!
The three old men with green faces became Ninja Turtles.
Gojo Satoru ignored their frustration and took Kanda Kanon's hand lovingly. He touched her fleshless hand and said, "I heard that you didn't prepare anything for Kanon when she entered school, and you didn't even give her enough money. Look at how skinny she is. She must have never had a good life at home."
"I am rich and can easily support her, but that doesn't mean you can look down on her or abuse her. That would be tantamount to looking down on me." Gojo Satoru's gaze fell on them with a scrutinizing and cold look that made them feel uneasy.
Kanda Masaaki quickly waved his hands: "How could that be? How dare we look down on you!"
To be honest, in order to maintain the superficial prosperity of the Kanda family over the years, there is not much spare money in the family. The reason why Kanda Kanon was sent to technical high school without receiving much money was due to various considerations.
Without the support of her family, the only one she could rely on was her fiancé at school. No matter how rebellious she is, she has to do everything she can to cling to Gojo Satoru in order to survive.
and……
"How could we possibly abuse our own daughter?" One of the elders smiled flatteringly, "It's just that our family is in financial difficulty, and all of our family's resources have been used to train our daughter since she was young. You... should be the one who can experience this the most..."
As he said this, he winked mischievously at Gojo Satoru with a smile that only men could understand.
The corner of Gojo Satoru's eyes twitched, and he silently clenched his hand with Kanda Kanon. A nauseous feeling made him feel a little nauseous.
He changed his mind.
As the legitimate daughter of the family and his fiancée, Kanda Kanon should own everything in the family, not those other people.
But now, does she really want such a disgusting family?
They didn't even treat the girl he held in his hands as a human being.
“…Ha.” Gojo Satoru stood up, smiled meaningfully, and said calmly, “I’m going to stay here today. Go prepare a room for us.”
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside with Kanda Kanon.
"Okay, it's an honor for our Kanda family that you are willing to stay overnight!" Kanda Masateru's eyes lit up, and he quickly shouted to his daughter who was being dragged away, "Kane, entertain Master Gojo well, understand!"
Kanda Kanon, with her back to the crowd, was very angry.
[This bunch of smelly and disgusting men!] Just wait, I’ll put you in a sack and beat you up in the middle of the night! 】
Gojo Satoru stroked the palm of her hand with his finger, and Kanda Kanon looked up, only to see him wink.
Following Gojo Satoru to an empty corner, he looked around and whispered in her ear, "Come on, let's go in and take the things away first."
He opened the door behind him and waved to her.
Kanda Kanon followed in without knowing why, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.
[Is this... the legendary treasure house! 】
There were a lot of boxes piled up in the small room, and a lot of spell tools hanging on the walls.
Although the Kanda family is a third-rate family, it has been passed down for several generations and still has some capital.
But in Gojo Satoru's eyes, it was just a pile of junk. The things in this warehouse were too shabby. Not only were the spell tools low-level, but the things in the boxes were of no value either.
Gojo Satoru curled his lips with disgust. No wonder it wasn’t locked. After all the work, it turned out to be a pile of garbage.
But Kanda Kanon was curious and looked around.
Oh, a beautiful-looking antique necklace in my pocket!
Alas, a jeweled hairpin in my pocket!
What is this, gold? ! I guess wildly!
Oh my god, why did he put so much money in there? He put them all in his pocket!
Kanda Kanon took out a sack from the corner and reluctantly gave up the idea of beating up those old guys. She turned around and put everything she liked into the sack.
After packing all the valuable-looking treasures in the warehouse into sacks, Kanda Kanon felt a surge of joy like a good harvest in her heart, and she wiped the sweat from her hard work with emotion.
[At first, I wanted to escape from the world of magic with my valuables, but I was secretly sent to a technical high school and thought there was no hope. Now I can say that I have fulfilled half of my wish! 】
[Anyway, those old guys won't use these things to do good things, so they might as well put them all in my bag. It can be considered as robbing the rich to help the poor. 】
The poor Kanda Kanon smiled as if she had become rich overnight and wiped away her tears with emotion.
"Kane, do you want to inherit the Kanda family?" Gojo Satoru took the sack with one hand and patted her head with the other.
Kanda Kanon shook her head: "Not at all."
[What a joke! This broken family wants me to inherit. Don’t even think about taking advantage of me! 】
Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows and smiled wildly: "That's good, I'll take you to have some fun!"
After saying that, he picked up Kanda Kanon, hung her on his body, picked up the sack, and ran to the door with a few jumps.
After putting the sack in the trunk and placing Kanda Kanon steadily on the ground, Gojo Satoru turned around and went back.
What is this for? 】Kanda Kanon scratched her head, blinked blankly, and looked at the driver in the car.
This car was transferred from Gojo Satoru's home, and the driver was naturally also from the Gojo family. He nodded politely to Kanda Kanon, then got out of the car and motioned for her to stand further away.
Kanda Kanon became even more confused, but the driver looked calm, as if he was used to it.
“Boom boom boom—”
A loud noise came from Kanda's house. Kanda Kanon widened her eyes and turned to look over.
She saw that half of the intact house had collapsed. She had an impression of the broken houses.
It is a scene that leaves only a few fragments of memory in the brain. These were the rooms that young Kanda Kanon stepped into countless times, where she learned various skills and knowledge.
It was the cage she never escaped from.
For some reason, Kanda Kanon felt a little sad. Can this girl who has the same name and even looks like her find any comfort in heaven?
No, maybe she traveled to her own world?
To be honest, she couldn't remember how she got here. It was as if she had drunk too much and had lost her memory. She found herself in this shabby place in the blink of an eye.
But no matter what, no matter how bad her previous world was, it was much better than this broken world.
[I will pray for you, Kanda Kanon, I hope you can find your own place of freedom and live without worries from now on. 】
The Kanda family was in chaos, and everyone in the clan was busy arranging for Gojo Satoru to stay overnight.
So even though the house collapsed, there were no casualties among them as most of them were sorcerers, but...
“Pah, pah, pah!” Kanda Masaaki ran out with a mouth full of dust, “What happened? Why did my house collapse!!!”
In order to build this mansion, countless amounts of money and manpower were invested, but all was wasted in an instant, and Kanda Masaki was on the verge of collapse.
"Let's go, let's go!" Gojo Satoru ran over excitedly like a husky that had demolished its house, and pulled her into the car.
"You blew up the Kanda family!"
"It exploded! Aren't you happy?"
"I'm... so happy, well done!" Kanda Kanon gave a thumbs up.
"Right, this useless garbage pile should be cleaned up. It's stinkin' people!" Gojo Satoru laughed wildly.
The two people were happy in the back seat, while the driver in the front looked calm.
You know, his young master often blows up the house at home, and he is used to it.
The fact that he didn't blow up the person as well was already a sign of the young master's good temper.
[However, it was a waste of my dressing up so grandly. I felt like there was no place for me to use my skills, and Gojo Satoru showed off all by himself. 】Kanda Kanon pulled the belt that was around her waist and thought angrily.
"Red really suits you best." Gojo Satoru suddenly leaned closer, "You look really beautiful today, but the way those people look at you really annoys me."
Kanda Kanon felt a little flattered when praised by the white-haired, blue-eyed beauty.
"You, you look very handsome today too~ hehe." Kanda Kanon scratched her head, feeling shy but enjoying it very much. She felt like a dog whose chin was being scratched, feeling very comfortable.
There's nothing I can do about it, she's just a timid person who likes to be praised. The last time I had this kind of experience was when I was surrounded by a group of nice young men who loved volleyball.
That’s right!
"But if you blow up their house, won't they come and cause trouble?" Kanda Kanon was a little worried. After all, she had emptied the group's private vault.
Gojo Satoru shrugged indifferently: "Then let them find it, if they dare."
...Speaking of which, this group of people are so cowardly that they had to swallow their anger even when Gojo Satoru, a big Buddha, mocked them in person. Kanda Kanon was speechless.
"And as long as we have our engagement, they won't dare to find you." Gojo Satoru poked her forehead to stop her from thinking too much.
“…That’s true!” Kanda Kanon chuckled.
It feels good to be a fox borrowing the power of a tiger. It feels great to have someone backing you up!
but……
[Why do I feel like something is not right? 】Kanda Kanon tilted her head.
Gojo Satoru on the side shifted his gaze upon hearing this.
Anyway, all is well!
From then on, Kanda Kanon, who took a sack of things, completely bid farewell to her poor life.
I even dare to buy two small cakes, eat one and then... eat the other!
Recalling this, the three people who heard her thoughts clearly had different expressions.
Gojo Satoru nodded with satisfaction. He didn't expect that his image in her mind was so lofty.
In addition to being surprised, Geto Suguru was more relieved. The Kanda family really needed to be cleaned up. Gojo Satoru had grown up and knew how to care for his wife.
Thinking back to the beginning, he really thought there was no hope for these two people and he almost did it himself.
Fushiguro Megumi had a wooden face and stared at the happy face of the girl in front of her in silence.
...So in order to avoid trouble from her family, this sister has to maintain her engagement?
Little Megumi Fushiguro witnessed the evil nature of adults.
