Chapter 40 You guys are making me redundant
This vicious incident was soon disclosed by the media, and the whole country was shocked. No one expected that such a thing would still happen in the 21st century.
Some say these villagers are definitely followers of a cult; others say they simply want to wipe out the families and appropriate the inheritance left by the girls' parents, only making up this excuse after being discovered; others believe legal education must be stepped up...
To protect the privacy of minors, neither Geto Suguru nor the real names and appearances of the two girls were leaked. The general public only knew that the two girls were later adopted by a kind-hearted person who wished to remain anonymous.
Two girls, Mimiko and Nanako, are either fatherless or motherless, and their blood relatives were almost all involved in the abuse and are awaiting prosecution. According to the normal procedures, they should have been sent to an orphanage, but their previous experiences have left them with an indelible fear of interacting with ordinary people. As someone who is now trusted by the two girls, Geto Suguru offers to adopt them.
His proposal was gently rejected by the police officer five seconds later: "Mr. Takeru, your kindness is very kind, but you're not yet an adult and don't have financial independence. You're still a child. Legally, you don't meet the requirements to adopt them. Why don't you go back and discuss it with your parents?"
After leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, Takeshi Takeo called Gojo Satoru in disbelief and asked, "Then how did you manage to adopt two children as a minor?"
Gojo Satoru: "Perhaps my two children were the first to be delivered by a high-dimensional bird-like delivery, so the legal documents and everything went through without a hitch. No one raised any objections...except for the Zenin family, but their only concern was that one of them was of their Zenin family bloodline."
Xia Youjie: "Wasn't I sent here by a high-dimensional bird? Why don't I have a direct legal document service? The original prophecy said that I would adopt them next year, but I won't be an adult by then!"
Gojo Satoru: "It's hard to say, Jie. Maybe in the other world you just took the little girl back and raised her, without going through any legal channels. Or maybe it's just like the police said, custody is in someone else's name, but you're actually raising her. Why don't you try the latter? Ask your parents if you can get custody. Anyway, the money you earn from your missions is enough to support yourself and the two children."
Just when Geto Suguru was thinking about who to ask for guardianship and whether he should discuss it with his parents, he saw Masamichi Noctua using a cursed corpse to tease the little girl.
36-year-old Ye Mo Zheng Dao is a muscular man with a tough and serious appearance, but in fact, anyone who has come into contact with him will know that under his stone-like appearance, he has a soft heart.
In the world of sorcery, it seems that only the homeroom teacher, Masamichi Yaga, can realize that these talented students from the past hundred years under his command are still just children.
Geto Xiayou remembered that before leaving, the Ghost Queen told him to consult the class teacher or parents if he had any problems, and he suddenly realized it.
He decided to consult with Teacher Yega Zhengdao first. Teacher Yega must know more about the law and some internal matters of the magic world than he does. Then he would ask Teacher Yega to help persuade his parents.
But Geto Suguru didn't expect that Teacher Yega not only had fists as big as sandbags, but also had a heart full of fatherly love.
Although Yega Zhengdao decided to devote his whole body and mind to the career of sorcery after divorcing his wife, when he heard the two skinny children telling about their experiences over the years, the fatherly love in his heart that had been buried for a long time and he thought that he could only use on Jue Hai and his students in this life began to shatter his rationality.
But as a member of society, Masamichi Yaga had to consider too many things, so he suppressed the idea of adopting a child until Geto Suguru came to him to discuss it.
When Ye Mo Zhengdao heard that his underage students had begun to commit to adopting these two children, why was he, an adult, still hesitating?
He immediately made a decision with Geto Suguru that the legal guardian of the two children would be him!
Both of these children have talent in spells, and they couldn't be thrown into an orphanage for ordinary children. However, spellcasters value bloodlines, and these two girls don't have any particularly powerful spells. The top brass in the spellcasting world were delighted to hear that someone offered to take over the mess.
It’s decided to be you, Noctua!
When the two little girls heard that they were going to live in the Jujutsu High School, a place full of sorcerers, and that they would be able to see Geto Suguru all the time, they were so happy that they agreed almost immediately.
So the new identities of Mimiko Noctua and Nanako Noctua were quickly revealed.
Geto Suguru had originally suggested to Gojo Satoru that they take the two children to live with the Fushiguro siblings so that it would be convenient for them to take care of the children together. He also made an appointment with Gojo Satoru on when to bring the children over, but he didn't expect that the two of them would be scolded by their mentor who was full of fatherly love that day.
Ye Mo Zheng Dao scolded Xia Yu Jie: "It's so cold, how can you take these two children out when they are so weak? What if they catch a cold?"
Ye Mo Zheng Dao scolded Gojo Satoru: "Gojo Satoru, don't laugh. What you did is even more outrageous than him. I know you fought with the Zenin family for the children some time ago, but I really didn't expect you to think of leaving two elementary school students alone in the house for several days. Are you short of money for a nanny? But you're right, it would be nice for the four children to meet each other. Tomorrow is the weekend, so why don't you bring the children over?"
There was no other way, so Gojo Satoru had to pack up the Fushiguro siblings who had just finished school and take them back to the technical high school. He never thought that this action would cause another person to be accidentally injured.
That was Cheng Xiaoyu. She was strolling outside when she saw Gojo Satoru striding into the school with the Fushiguro siblings, one in each hand. She immediately cast a snake talisman and ran away, becoming invisible.
Cheng Xiaoyu never told Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru about her previous contact with Fushiguro Shinobu. In Gojo Satoru's eyes, he really let Fushiguro Shinobu kill him again and again.
Fushiguro Shijiro is the trump card, so the fewer people in the world know that he is still alive, the better. In this world, besides Fushiguro Shijiro himself, only the Fushiguro siblings know that Fushiguro Shijiro did not die at the hands of Gojo Satoru.
Under the above premise, what would Gojo Satoru think when he knew that Fushiguro Shinobu was not dead?
While Cheng Xiaoyu was in contact with Gojo Satoru, he did not stop Fushiguro Shigeru from killing him - this can also be explained as knowing that Gojo Satoru will never die and that this is the only way to awaken the reversal technique, but he let him die while in contact with Fushiguro Shigeru's children?
One can come up with eight hundred conspiracy theories, the most classic of which is to suspect whether Cheng Xiaoyu is threatening others with their children's lives.
The focus here is not the position of Fushiguro Shigeru - not to mention that Fushiguro Shigeru was originally a neutral mercenary. The focus is that Cheng Xiaoyu used the lives of innocent people as pawns.
Now that Fushiguro Shinji is "dead", who will prove Cheng Xiaoyu's innocence?
That was a lot of bad things that could be used against her. Cheng Xiaoyu believed that if she were the number one high-dimensional creature, she would definitely seize this opportunity to sow discord.
In order to avoid the above consequences, the dark killers had previously instructed the Fushiguro siblings not to say that Fushiguro Shier was not dead, nor to say that they had seen them and Cheng Xiaoyu.
Cheng Xiaoyu had previously thought that the Fushiguro siblings did not live in the technical high school with Gojo Satoru, nor did they live with them every day. If time dragged on a little longer, she could explain that "out of curiosity, she went to take a few looks at the children when Gojo Satoru was not around," and she could get away with it perfectly.
But she had only been back for five days! You know, in the eyes of others, she had only had the opportunity and reason to be alone with these two children for five days. How could she have become familiar with them so quickly?
Gojo Satoru and the others have never taken care of a child, but it’s not like they haven’t been children themselves!
After all, the Fushiguro siblings are just two elementary school students whose ages added together and multiplied by three are still smaller than Gojo Satoru's shoe size. No matter how hard they try to hide, they cannot escape the subtle observation of the Rokugan.
Cheng Xiaoyu decided to stay out of the spotlight to avoid meeting the Fushiguro siblings at this critical juncture. Anyway, she didn't stay in the technical college all the time.
"He's not here?" Gojo Satoru said after knocking on the door for a long time and finding no one answered. "I was thinking of showing you two an interesting guy on the way, but it was such an unfortunate coincidence."
Fushiguro Miki asked timidly, "Excuse me, Mr. Wu, who do you want us to see?"
Gojo Satoru: "She's very powerful... Based on her age, you should call her grandma, right? She's really good with shadows, and I want to see how she reacts when she sees Kei. Oh, and she's the emperor of a kingdom, doesn't that sound cool? I'll introduce you to her and tell her not to eat you."
The Fushiguro siblings were shocked: using a shadow, she's so old that calling her grandma isn't an exaggeration, and she's the emperor of a kingdom, so could it be the one they know but whose secret must be kept secret?
If you’re not sure, ask: “So what should we call her?”
Gojo Satoru thought about Oniying's last name, which he only roughly knew how to pronounce, and made a decisive decision: "Hmm... just call her Oniying. Call her Sister. If you're sweet-talking, she might treat you to candy. If you're not, she might just eat you."
Anyway, he usually doesn't call her "Miss Cheng", he always calls her "ghost".
The Fushiguro siblings' pupils trembled: This is really the "ghost" lady they know!
Damn it, this is different from the process they had agreed on before!
"It's okay. Even though she didn't tell me hello, she definitely won't be able to eat you as long as Master Wu is here."
Gojo Satoru almost immediately noticed that the two children were in a bad mood, but he didn't think much about it. After all, Mimiko and Nanako were eager to walk close to the wall when they saw Cheng Xiaoyu in the corridor. He just thought it was fun to tease the children.
It is especially fun to tease a kid like Fukuro Megumi who usually acts like a serious little adult.
At this moment, Gojo Satoru suddenly understood why the ghost always teased him and Geto Suguru.
Because teasing children and making them angry is unethical, but it really brings joy!
It's the ghost who always makes fun of him. What's wrong with him using the ghost to scare children? She scares children herself anyway.
"Um."
The Fushiguro siblings didn't expect such a good thing to happen, and they grabbed Gojo Satoru's clothes tightly and prepared to leave.
Gojo Satoru was very proud to finally be relied upon by the children. These two children were particularly precocious and independent because their parents were too unreliable. During this period, Gojo Satoru often wondered whether he was raising electronic pets or not, and he had no sense of participation in raising children at all.
At the beginning, Gojo Satoru would go to see the siblings whenever he had time, for fear that they had died. However, he found that every time he went, the siblings would be very skilled in pouring water and cooking for him, and would even prepare bedding for him if he wanted to stay overnight.
This brought great frustration to Gojo Satoru, who was ready to make a big splash in the parenting world and had looked up a lot of parenting tips overnight.
For example, when he first visited the Fushiguro siblings' home, Gojo Satoru had bought a bunch of vegetables, intending to show off his culinary skills to the kids and win their hearts. However, he simply changed into his home clothes, went to the bathroom, and washed his hands. When he came out, he found that the two kids had already finished cooking a batch of vegetables and were about to pour oil into the wok.
Gojo Satoru originally wanted to see how far the two children could go and when they would ask him for help. He stood by despite Fushiguro Megumi's condemnation of "If you don't want to help, can you please not stand here and get in the way?", ready to protect the children from the boiling hot oil as soon as possible in case of an accident.
At that time, he was still thinking that he was just a child after all, and he would suffer for being too proud. When he was frightened by the pop-up hot oil lid, he would definitely laugh at this stubborn little brat.
But the moment he saw the two kids standing on small stools and skillfully cooperating to light the fire and boil oil to prepare four dishes and a soup using the ingredients he brought, Gojo Satoru knew that all his strategies were in vain.
And I began to wonder who was supporting whom.
Gojo Satoru: You guys are making me feel a bit redundant.
