Chapter 43 Caring for Empty-Nester Elderly
"Ekota" does not exist.
In other words, "ever" does not exist.
It's as if "Beika Town" doesn't exist in this world.
A "century-old store" that has been open for a year may not be a good store, but an "old town" that has been established for less than a week definitely has problems!
Within just a few days, amid the beeping of dimensional monitors and space-time detectors, "Ekoda" and its residents appeared next to Beika Town.
At that time, Cheng Xiaoyu and No. 233 didn't know what it was. They only knew that a huge, internally unobservable space-time fluctuation entangled body slowly appeared like a mushroom next to Beika Town under the influence of high-dimensional forces, and began to affect the space-time line of the entire world.
No. 233 and Cheng Xiaoyu have been going crazy these days because of this.
Is this second-order high-dimensional being trying to create a world collision and even destroy it for fun? This kind of thing has happened before!
Or is there a third higher-dimensional being out there who wants to cause trouble but they haven't discovered it? Although the probability is very low, considering how unlucky they are already, it's not impossible for them to be even more unlucky.
Or did these two high-dimensional creatures finally destroy the already fragile world?
In order to prepare for various possible extreme situations, Cheng Xiaoyu had already written a dozen response plans in just a few days, and then she just found out what was going on from the phone call from Fushiguro Shigeru.
The second high-dimensional creature brought the city of Jianggutian from Kaito Kidd's side to this world. He has been accumulating so much energy for such a long time and making such a big fuss just to add another piece of the map. He surrounded the whole process and made it unobservable to prevent Cheng Xiaoyu from running to stop him. He has been holding back his efforts!
He truly proved with his strength what it means that "there are no high-dimensional creatures that are worry-free, there are only high-dimensional creatures that are relatively worry-free because they haven't caused any trouble yet."
It's unclear whether the second high-dimensional creature had already done something to warm up for this operation when it was quietly "dormant". The only consolation is that from Fushiguro Shigeru's memory of accepting advice, the new map Jianggutian has been smoothly integrated with this world, which means that Cheng Xiaoyu's dozen backup plans are temporarily useless.
Low EQ version: Cheng Xiaoyu and No. 233 have worked for nothing these days.
Cheng Xiaoyu: "I can no longer tell whether I hate work or the world."
After days of high-intensity, full-frequency surveys and intelligence gathering, No. 233 sneered, "I'm different. I hate it all. Fushiguro Jyoujiru would be best if he could hit his target right away."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "What if I can't?"
No. 233: [Then he'd better hit the target twice.]
Cheng Xiaoyu: "You know neither he nor we have the final say on this matter, right?"
[Anyway, it doesn't matter what happens, just let us get off work safely!]
No. 233 wailed, saying that it had been feeling very depressed these days.
I have to monitor and analyze all sorts of data from around the world, synchronize communications with headquarters, and closely monitor two high-dimensional beings while trying to analyze the next moves of these Pokémon, each with its own logic... I want to say to my central processing unit, "Wow, you're crazy!" This is why every time another system tries to get me to buy a new physical vehicle, I can't say I'm watching Boruto instead. Boruto isn't crazy, but my physical vehicle is! In a physical sense!
Cheng Xiaoyu cruelly exposed the reality for it: "Baby, you can fool me, don't fool yourself. How could a physical vehicle that's like a simulator possibly overload due to CPU overload? It's obviously because you're poor. I told you long ago that you shouldn't pull other systems to play mahjong. And don't keep buying things to fill your system space! Forget about the fact that you don't have a physical vehicle, why would you buy a mechanical keyboard? The key question is, do you need a physical keyboard?"
No. 233 said righteously: [You don’t understand. I can live without it, but I must have it!]
Completely fallen into the trap of consumerism!
After No. 233 calmed down, Cheng Xiaoyu decided to go and see the Fushiguro siblings. While completing her own character setting, she also took a few more photos of the children and sent them to Fushiguro Shiro so that he could work with peace of mind.
The last time Cheng Xiaoyu went to the Fushiguro house, Fushiguro Shigeru had just faked his death at the hands of Gojo Satoru with the help of a talisman. At that time, the only long-term residents of the house were the Fushiguro siblings, two children whose combined age was not yet adults. The children, who survived with only the little living expenses left by their unreliable parents, could only manage to maintain basic cleanliness.
When Cheng Xiaoyu visited this time, the house had undergone many small changes: a children's table and chairs were added to the living room, a cartoon-style clock was placed on the wall at a low point, rounded corner guards were installed at the table and cabinet corners, child-enhancing cushions were attached to the two dining tables and chairs, the open-flame gas stove in the kitchen was replaced with an induction cooktop, and a row of apple boxes were placed in front of the kitchen stove so that children could stand on tiptoe to avoid stepping on empty space...
No. 233 scanned the area: [All empty electrical outlets were covered with childproof covers, and Gojo Satoru was set as an emergency contact on the landline. The snack cabinet also had milk powder and a bunch of children's supplements. It was obvious that he cared deeply about his two children. It was just that Gojo Satoru bought the wrong milk powder; he bought infant formula, not children's milk.]
Cheng Xiaoyu picked up the Fushiguro siblings, one in each hand, and weighed them. "You kids have grown a lot stronger. It seems Gojo Satoru hasn't treated you badly during this time."
Megumi Fushiguro: "Mr. Gojo is a very nice person." He's just a little childish sometimes.
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled: "If you can say this in front of Gojo Satoru, he will definitely be very happy."
Fushiguro Megumi curled her lips and said, "If he wasn't like that, I would definitely say it... If I praise him, he would definitely get carried away and say something like 'See, look, the little brat still has to rely on me.'"
Fushiguro Miki stood on tiptoe and leaned close to Cheng Xiaoyu's ear to explain, "Yesterday, Mr. Wu complained that Hui was too rebellious and unfriendly, which hurt his feelings. After Hui apologized, Mr. Wu laughed wildly and pinched and rubbed Hui's face for five minutes, and even frizzed Hui's hair. So he's a little bothered by this matter now."
...Gojo Satoru, do you have the right to call Fushiguro Megumi rebellious? Look at Ye Mo's receding hairline since he took over your class! Doesn't your conscience hurt?
"I'm not angry with Mr. Gojo. I know he protected us and worked hard for us." Fushiguro Megumi whispered, "I'm just angry with myself."
In Megumi Fushiguro's eyes, it was because she was too weak that she couldn't protect her sister alone; that's why her biological father didn't come home to avoid implicating her, that's why he sold her custody to the Zenin family, and that's why he left some time ago, leaving behind only the words "Just treat me as dead"; that's why Mr. Gojo spent so much money and energy fighting the Zenin family for her custody, and that's why he would take time out to come and see her and Tsumiki even though he was so busy that he could only sleep for a short while...
"If I were strong enough, I could protect Tsumeki myself and wouldn't cause trouble for so many people."
Fushiguro Miki hugged her brother tightly: "Mei...you don't need to blame yourself like this, this is not your fault."
"You're still a child, a toddler. It's only natural for you to be 'weak' at your age," Cheng Xiaoyu said. "Mei, Gojo Satoru wasn't born shouting 'I'm the only one in the world.' He needs someone to take care of him so he can grow up."
Megumi Fushiguro: "Ms. Ghost too?"
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Yeah, we all go through this. Everyone has times when they're weak and need to rely on others, so growing up to be someone others can rely on is a way to repay those who helped you in the past."
Fushiguro Megumi was silent for a while, then asked, "Is my father still alive?"
"Alive and kicking. By the way, don't move for now." Cheng Xiaoyu made a camera gesture with her hand and snapped a few photos of No. 233 Fushiguro siblings and sent them to Fushiguro Shier. "Okay—I'll send him the photo of me crying while hugging my sister!"
Fushiguro Megumi immediately let go of her sister's arms and jumped out, wiping her eyes angrily: "You're lying, you didn't even take out your camera to take pictures."
"It's true that humans do this, but I'm not human." Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled and sat down on the sofa with her legs spread wide. "You have two puppies, right? Call them out and show me if they listen. I'll help you train them for free."
Fushiguro Megumi hesitated: "Are you going to kill them?"
He learned from Gojo Satoru that after the Shikigami summoned by his [Ten Shadows] spell were destroyed, their power would be inherited by other Shikigami, so the common practice of [Ten Shadows] spellcasters in history was to kill the weak Shikigami first and create several or even one of the strongest Shikigami.
But Megumi Fushiguro couldn't bear to part with the two jade dogs that had always been by his side. He had been abandoned before and he knew that feeling, so he didn't want to give up any of his Shikigami.
Cheng Xiaoyu reassured him again and again, "No, I just want to pet a dog. Jade dogs don't shed, bite, or bark, and they're very humane. They're much more pleasant to pet than regular dogs. Those guys from the Zenyuan family might not even see a shadow sorcerer in a hundred years. How can they beat me with shadows? Oh, by the way, Tsu Miki, come here and take this with you."
Cheng Xiaoyu took out a pair of glasses from the shadows and handed them to the little girl who was about to leave quietly: "These are glasses that allow ordinary people to see cursed spirits and shikigami."
That was something that Shinobu Fushiguro asked her to bring.
Fushiguro Tsu Miki has no talent for spells. She cannot see spell spirits or spells. Fushiguro Shigeru previously thought that this girl would be taken care of by her ordinary mother so he never paid much attention to her. But now he finds out that her mother has also run away. This little girl has to live with a group of spellcasters no matter what, so she has to have some sense of identity.
"It's very painful for a blind person to live among those who can see. Anyway, I happened to have some money, so I saw this thing on the black market and bought it." Fushiguro Shier emphasized, "By the way, don't tell those guys that I bought it. They already have guardians who are more suitable than me, and they can't be associated with me anymore."
"Thank you, Miss Ghost!" Fushiguro Miki happily took the glasses and put them on. They were adult-sized, so she had to hold them with her hands to prevent them from falling. But even so, the little girl was very excited. "Megumi, can you let me see the Jade Dog? I've always been curious!"
"good."
Fushiguro Megumi quickly knelt on the ground and gestured. Two jade dogs with bright red stripes on their heads emerged from his shadow, wagging their tails and whimpering, rubbing Fushiguro Megumi all over the place.
No wonder Megumi Fushiguro had to sit on the ground.
After feeling the strength of the jade dog, Cheng Xiaoyu guided Fushiguro Miki to sit on the ground and touch it again.
The loving rubbing of two large dogs is too much for an adult to bear. When Megumi Fushiguro summoned them for the first time, they were probably rubbed to the ground.
Cheng Xiaoyu asked No. 233 to send the video of the arrival and use that he had just recorded to Fushiguro Shier. The video recorded by No. 233 was different from that of ordinary cameras and could capture two big furry dogs.
And he added the text: [Your son and daughter like the gifts you gave them very much.]
After saving the video, Fushiguro Shier replied: [Don't contact me unless it's related to a commission.]
Cheng Xiaoyu has read the random reply: [You're welcome. Caring for empty-nest elderly people is a traditional virtue.]
Fushiguro Shiji, who is now in his prime: ...
