Chapter 77 Demons also need to keep pace with the times
Gojo Satoru snorted coldly, "Is this even worth discussing? I've raised Kei and Tsumiki to this age, so I'm just going to give them to him? I've been their guardian for almost twice as long as he has, and I'll definitely continue to raise them from now on! Putting all that aside, I even gave the Zenin family 1 billion yen just to take Kei away!"
Having said that, Gojo Satoru still felt a little nervous.
He wasn't worried about Tsumiki. After all, judging from the information, the time Tsumiki could call Fushiguro Jiro dad might be less than the time that Kosori Mei died at the speed of light, and she probably didn't have any feelings for Fushiguro Jiro.
But Fushiguro Megumi is different. After all, Fushiguro Shinobu is his biological father. He left him because of the force majeure factor of the mischievous high-dimensional creature No. 1.
Moreover, Megumi Fushiguro has some feelings for Jyouji Fushiguro.
When Megumi Fushiguro was still a little boy, Gojo Satoru once saw him secretly drawing a stick figure of Fushiguro Shigeru on a piece of paper. It wasn't that Megumi Fushiguro was gifted in painting, but the scar at the corner of his mouth and his short black hair were really eye-catching.
Every time after finishing a painting, Megumi Fushiguro would stare at the painting in a daze, then crumple or tear it up and throw it into the trash can.
It is obvious that Megumi Fushiguro has conflicting feelings towards Jyouji Fushiguro, because as a child from a reconstituted family, Miki Fushiguro occasionally draws her mother like this, but after finishing the drawing, she just puts the painting away instead of destroying it.
That's why Gojo Satoru didn't tell Fushiguro Megumi for all these years that "your father actually failed to kill me and was killed by me instead." He always thought that if his father was not dead, he would tell him after some time.
Unexpectedly, Gojo Satoru didn't wait until his own death, nor did he wait for the opportunity to tell Fushiguro Megumi the cause of his father's death, as Fushiguro Shinobu opened the coffin and was reborn.
...It seems too late to kill Fushiguro Shinobu now.
"I'm not so shameless as to let someone take advantage of me and raise my child before I steal his."
As a veteran who has been in society for many years, Fushiguro Shigeki had no idea what Gojo Satoru was thinking, and he immediately expressed his opinion.
"I don't intend to fight for Hui's custody. Besides, that kid doesn't like me in the first place, so he definitely won't leave with me. If you want, I can stop appearing in front of him. Just tell him that I'm really dead, and you can make up any way you want to die."
“…Tsk.”
Fushiguro Shigeru's rare sincere words broke Gojo Satoru's silence. He touched his hair irritably, pushed Fushiguro Shigeru's shoulder away and walked out.
"That's not necessary. I'm not one of those parents who keeps everything secret from their children. Go tell Hui yourself that you're not dead. Come here, I'll take you to see your biological son."
......
Megumi Fushiguro in the dormitory didn't know that his two fathers were about to arrive at the door of his dormitory. He was busy having a warm exchange of feelings with his two classmates.
Commonly known as eating hot pot.
Fushiguro Megumi: "So why did you come to my room to eat hot pot?"
Yuji Itadori accurately picked up the last piece of meat from the porridge and said, "Because you have the most complete kitchen utensils and seasonings in your house, Fushiguro. Kugisaki and I just got here and haven't had time to buy anything yet. I also wanted to show you my meatball recipe that I'm very proud of. Isn't it delicious?"
Kugisaki Nobara: "It's delicious!"
Megumi Fushiguro: "...It's really delicious." I'll ask Itadori for the recipe later.
"Sure enough! Even my grandfather praised the meatballs I made." Yuji Itadori picked up the soda can and wanted to take a sip, but found that the bottle was empty, "Ah, there are no more drinks."
Nobara Kugisaki went to look for the plastic bag that originally contained the drinks, but found that it was full of empty drink cans. She stood up helplessly and said, "There are no more drinks. I'm going to the vending machine to buy new ones and throw away the trash at the same time. Anyone who wants me to bring you drinks, please raise your hands - you all want them, right? Then remember to save me a meatball when the pot boils later!"
Just as Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro put new ingredients into the pot, they saw Nobara Kugisaki appear at the door again with a garbage bag, and her expression was a little subtle when she looked at Megumi Fushiguro.
Fushiguro Megumi: "What's wrong?"
Kugisaki Nobara looked uncomfortably at the black-haired man beside her who was as strong as a mountain and said, "Um...your father is here."
Gojo Satoru's voice came: "Come out and take a look, Hui, your deceased father has come back to life."
Fushiguro Megumi: ???
Fushiguro Megumi: ...
Fushiguro Megumi: !!!
......
"Ahhh, this is so embarrassing..." After Fushiguro Megumi rushed out, Kugisaki Nobara reentered the room and said with her hands covering her face, "I heard before that Fushiguro and his sister were raised by Gojo-sensei. I thought Fushiguro's parents had passed away and the Zenin family didn't want him, so Gojo-sensei picked him up. If that's the case, why did you say such misleading things before?"
Not to mention that the Zenin family and the Gojo family are sworn enemies. Even if they are not sworn enemies, the adopted child will usually be adopted by outsiders with no blood relationship at all when the child's direct blood relatives are dead or even worse than dead, and the collateral blood relatives do not want to adopt the child or there are no collateral blood relatives.
More importantly, Megumi Fushiguro usually doesn't mention things about her family. The only time was when Nobara Kugisaki and Yuji Itadori curiously asked why Gojo Satoru was the guardian of Megumi Fushiguro and her sister. At that time, Megumi Fushiguro's answer was, "Because my mother died of illness not long after giving birth to me, and my father went out one day and never came back. Later, it was Gojo Sensei who came to the house. Maybe my biological father has died somewhere."
Even at that time, Megumi Fushiguro believed from the bottom of her heart that her father was dead, let alone others?
Yuji Itadori: "But judging from Fushiguro's performance just now and what Gojo-sensei said, he really doesn't seem to know that his father is still alive."
"That's right...ah, the pot is boiling, let's eat first."
However, the hot pot that they had enjoyed so much before no longer had the same flavor. Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki couldn't help but look towards the door while eating the hot pot.
Will the guardian of Fushiguro Megumi and his sister still be Gojo Sensei? Or will it belong to that uncle just now?
Although he is the biological father, he is not dead and has been missing for ten years, neglecting his son and daughter. I feel it would be better for Gojo Sensei to be the guardian... But maybe there is another hidden story?
By the way, what kind of job does Megumi Fushiguro's father do? There is no cursed energy on him but he looks murderous. Is he a killer?
......
Various thoughts competed to occupy the minds of Nobara Kugisaki and Yuji Itadori.
Finally, Kugisaki Nobara put down her chopsticks: "...How about we wait until Fushiguro comes back to eat?"
Yuji Itadori agreed: "I think this is a good idea."
Eating hotpot is not as interesting as eating melon.
......
Cheng Xiaoyu did not go to the drama about the Shura Field of Fushiguro Megumi's biological and adoptive fathers, because she was not interested in this kind of teenage family ethics sitcom.
After confirming that the high-dimensional creature No. 2 had indeed left on its own as agreed, she told the others that she had an urgent matter to call, then went to a high-end hotel and booked a luxury suite for a few days. Then she did what all people who work overtime all night would do - she slept soundly in her bed, slept until she was unconscious and the days and months passed by quickly, without knowing how much time had passed.
A week had passed when Cheng Xiaoyu crawled out of the soft quilt with a messy hair, refreshed after hearing the alarm clock number 233.
Judging from the few messages in the mobile phone's text box, there has been no hellish overtime work that would increase Cheng Xiaoyu's blood pressure during this period.
According to Report No. 233, after the two high-dimensional beings left, the world is slowly recovering from the trauma and confusion caused by previous foreign interference.
Everything is slowly getting better. The only flaw is probably that Cheng Xiaoyu hasn't gotten off work yet.
Cheng Xiaoyu stretched lazily. "That being said, the missions to attack the winery and the zoo were like a vacation compared to the previous ones."
No. 233: [There's a difference. You can slack off, but don't let it drag on for so long that you become an infiltration point. If that happens, you'll be laughed to death by the next assigned colleague. I don't want to be told every time I play cards, "Oi, you're the AI who banished three high-difficulty interference points, but ended up becoming an infiltration point because of carelessness and slacking off? Come and tell us what your partner was thinking at that moment." ... Talking is fine, but the point is, I won't be able to play cards for a long time!]
...and yet everyone's here to listen to gossip and no one wants to play cards with you? I'm so fed up with you card players!
"I know, I know. I'm already up."
Cheng Xiaoyu straightened her hair and remembered that she had promised Kuroba Kaito that she would go find him after she finished her work with him. So she sensed the location of the magic crystal given to Kuroba Kaito and sank into the shadow under her feet to teleport there.
Considering the special identity of Kuroba Toichi Kaito Kid, Cheng Xiaoyu took a special look when she teleported this time, making sure that there was no one else around Kuroba Kaito at the moment. Then she emerged from the shadows and met Kuroba Kaito's eyes in the Kaito suit.
"Hi, your turn has arrived."
......
The amount of information Kuroba Kaito has received these days has simply exploded.
He told his mother, Kuroba Chikage, everything about his conversation with [Umekawa Kuroko] about his father's fake death and Pandora, as well as Koizumi Akako's test results on the magic crystal. It was the first time in all the years since his father's "death" that Kuroba Kaito saw the emotion of "helplessness" on the face of his mother, who was always in a state of panic.
This was essentially a statement made explicit by the Kuroba family, whose "poker face" and phantom thief career were practically etched into their DNA. Seeing that her son already knew, Kuroba Chikage no longer hid the truth and rushed back to Neon with her husband, Kuroba Toichi, who had faked his own death, to reunite with his son.
After many years, the family was finally able to reunite in the small villa, and everyone was filled with emotions.
But since they were professional thieves, they quickly calmed down and discussed what to do next. Hei Yu Daoyi suggested that he should meet the demon who had stripped off his identity and was also looking for the "Pandora" gem on behalf of his son.
After all, that was a demon, and a lord-level one at that. Hei Yu Daoyi, who was worried that something might happen to his son and wife, of course had to test the other party's character, or the demon quality, before he could feel at ease.
Kuroba Kaito: "It's better not to. She might be able to see through the disguise, and that might make her even angrier. Besides, I can't find any trace of her right now."
"That's right. Such an abrupt meeting is indeed very rude." Hei Yu Daoyi said, "Then perhaps I can accompany you as a parent. May I ask when the demon lady will come to visit you? Have you sent her a text message to ask?"
"Ah, about this... I actually texted her to ask her about it on the day I received the message." Kuroba Kaito took out his cell phone and showed it to his parents.
All text messages sent by the other party in the mailbox are automatically replied with the same content: [The user you are calling is working overtime, please wait patiently.]
The Black Feather couple: "......"
These days even demons have a queuing system. Is Hell really that busy?
