The story after 5
Gojo Satoru turned the key and kicked the door open, then staggered into the house carrying a bunch of gifts. "Surprise!"
Tsumiki immediately stood up and said, "Gojo-san!" She looked back. Gojo Satoru threw all the gifts aside, squatted down, and touched Tsumiki's head. "For a long time, a year, two years... the person Tsumiki is looking forward to won't come back."
"I know, Mr. Gojo." Tsu Miki's eyes were filled with tears, and she quickly wiped them away: "Would you like something to eat?"
"I've eaten outside...Ryoko is here." Did she tell them?
"I have something to discuss with Mr. Gojo."
"The two of them..." Gojo Satoru pointed at the two children.
"Let me tell you first." Zenin Ryoko looked at several rooms, and Gojo Satoru understood: "This is Hantsukchan's room." Instead of letting the two children leave, it would be better for them to leave.
"You guys sleep in separate rooms?"
"Ahem...respect my privacy." Gojo Satoru closed the door. "Tell me, what's going on?"
"The head of the Zenin family said that if you think Hui is a burden, you can hand him over to the Zenin family. The Ten Shadow Magic Techniques are a family heirloom of the Zenin family, and it would be better for him to stay with you."
"He wishes."
"I knew you wouldn't agree. But the master of the house is serious."
"He bought it for one billion yuan."
"The master of the family is not one to go back on his word... He offered 2 billion."
"What? Can human trafficking be legal in a society ruled by law?!" Gojo Satoru is not short of money.
"And all the old things from Miss Zenyuan's house. They are all for you."
Gojo Satoru suffered a cardiac arrest, but he quickly corrected himself: "I'm her husband. I'll get it myself."
"Mr. Gojo, are you taking it? That's robbery!" Zenin Ryoko turned her head away, not understanding what the master was thinking. You can also give it to me...
"Humph!" How can it be considered snatching something between husband and wife? It was originally his!
"In fact, the head of the family and I both know that you won't agree."
"Then why bother?"
"Maybe? I'm the one running the errands anyway."
"Why are you still helping that old man?"
"My last name is Chanyuan."
Gojo Satoru didn't take it seriously.
"The head of the family hopes that Gojo-san will discuss this matter with Kei. If Kei returns to the Zenin family, the position of head of the family will be his." What does a child know about power and status? Zenin Ryoko closed her eyes and opened them again.
Zenin Naoya understands.
All the children in the Zen temple family understand.
Gojo Satoru put away his playful smile.
Hui's technique... destined him to have no connection with the Zenin family, which was an impossible thing.
Does Hui want to become stronger?
"I will explain his background to Hui, but - I can tell you now, Hui will not go."
"I know." Zenin Ryoko sighed, "Keiko cares a lot about his half-sister..."
Tsu Miki couldn't stay at the Zenin family.
Tsu Miki couldn't live well in the Zenin family.
"Hatsu-chan...what was it like as a child at Zenin's house?" Gojo Satoru had never seen it. They weren't far away, so why hadn't they ever met? The time they spent together was so brief. Three years? It wasn't even three years.
[Satoshi, we are who we are now because we met the right person at the right time. Do you want to deny that we are in love right now?]
It's hard to control your emotions and your blood is boiling.
"Mr. Gojo asked me? I'm not quite sure." These maids all have their own chores to be responsible for... Zenin Ryoko was transferred to Zenin Naohito because she was exceptionally smart.
"Young lady is a quiet person. The Zenin family has high expectations of her. Young lady is the only female magician in the Zenin family. She is also... the easiest person to get along with."
"Before I really got to know you, I always thought you were a perfect doll." I didn't expect that she would really stand up for me... Zenin Ryoko's hands curled up, "Tsu Miki can't go to the Zenin family."
"Don't repeat something that can't happen... What is Ryoko afraid of?"
"The young lady is not living well in the Zen temple."
What will become of the Zenin family now that even the young lady is not here?
The young lady could no longer return to the Zen temple to seek justice.
Too bad... I escaped... Where are the rest of us?
Those who don't want to be saved, and those who are willing to be saved...
"I guessed that," Gojo Satoru said with certainty. Otherwise, why would he have such a good relationship with Fushiguro?
So jealous.
Jealous of Fushiguro.
"Mr. Gojo, I will be leaving Tokyo soon and won't be able to visit Keiwatsu Miki as often."
Does this mean you're leaving it all to me? I'm busy too—"I understand."
"Goodbye then."
"Bye-bye~"
Zenin Ryoko walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said, "Mr. Gojo..."
"Anything else?"
"If I tell you that Miss almost died in the Zenyuan family, what will you do?"
!
! !
!!!
Gojo Satoru's smile was meaningless. He said nonchalantly, "What can I do? This is the Zenin family's business."
"You're not going to resort to violence?"
With Gojo-san's strength, he could be the uncrowned king of the world of curses. He could do as he pleases as the young lady... why would he take the initiative to bear the shackles of morality?
Zenin Ryoko considers herself neither good nor bad. Everything she does is driven by her own survival. She excels at her job and is promoted, while others dare not bully her—and yet she will never surpass the legitimate son. The head of the family refuses to address the slightest injustice she has suffered, so she seeks the protection of a "young lady." Instead of sheltering her, the young lady asks if she needs a place to stay.
Zenin Ryoko could be the master of this place. She could do what the young lady did—but she wouldn't do that. Zenin Ryoko was a self-centered person. She wouldn't argue with the master.
Zenin Ryoko has neither the strength nor the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with the head of the family.
Zenin family... Can Miss Ishida still be free?
Zenin Ryoko didn't know.
If she had the power of Mr. or Ms. Gojo, she wouldn't make unpaid efforts. Everyone would have to listen to her and follow her rules.
Violence... She didn't like Ishida-san's portrayal of Tsumugi. She was too weak. She charged in, shouting about friendship and bonds, and then won... Real-life sorcerers couldn't do that. If they couldn't defeat the enemy, they simply couldn't. If they couldn't exorcise the cursed spirit, they'd just die.
Hospital...I have no compassion.
Is it really okay for me to go?
Never mind, I was just following orders.
I am the lady's maid.
"Destroyed... then what?" Gojo Satoru asked in a low voice.
And then? And then…nothing happened.
"That's a pity, Mr. Gojo." Is the Zenin family really necessary? "I said too much. Please don't take it to heart."
"Maamaa, Ryoko—you've gotten into big trouble by messing with my Zenin family!"
"Mr. Gojo is joking."
Does this mean to put pressure on the head of the family? Mr. Gojo is really... he's not even as old as her...
Such a young Mr. Gojo... is the strongest.
The young lady has passed away. Zenin Naoya is unworthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Gojo Satoru. Kei and Kenki of the Kamo family haven't grown up yet... The Gojo family should have been the sole heir. But the head of the Gojo family is Gojo Satoru, a man who neither knows nor cares to fight for power. He also possesses a strong sense of responsibility.
Mr. Gojo would be limited by his sense of responsibility.
The people Mr. Gojo met in the past were so nice.
Not everyone will respond to your expectations and your passionate emotions.
The one who can do it——When the lady is not around, Gojo Satoru and I are just strangers. I only do what I should do.
that's all.
"Megumi!" Gojo Satoru returned to the living room, squatted down with a serious look and pressed Fushiguro Megumi's shoulders.
"You smile so foolishly." Megumi Fushiguro said with a cold face.
"Mr. Gojo seems very happy..."
"Of course!" Maybe there'll be a diary or something... Just reading it will mean you've participated! Then there'll be more to talk about!
"Could you please ask Tsumiki to boil the milk?"
"Mr. Gojo, please don't add so much sugar..." Tsu Miki said this and left. Gojo Satoru, on the other hand, had no guilt at all for ordering a child around. He slapped his face, turned his head and said seriously to Megumi Fushiguro, "Are you interested in learning about your life story?"
"No."
There was so much to talk about.
But Gojo Satoru will not be discouraged! It doesn't matter if he has no interest - "What is the relationship between my aunt and Miss Zenin?"
"Well..." Gojo Satoru stared at Fushiguro Megumi's face, and then the faces of Fushiguro Shinobu, Zenin Naoya, and Zenin Ryoko appeared in his mind.
Are you two cut from the same cloth?! While it's true that no one looks exactly alike, Megumi and Fushiguro are indeed very similar. Their personalities...are both awful!
"Your father comes from a famous family of sorcerers named 'Zenyuan'. As for sorcerers and spells, I've explained them to you before. Have you remembered them?"
"I thought you were going to say something important."
Gojo Satoru remained undeterred. He continued, "Large families like this... the relationships are incredibly complex. If you insist on using the family tree, perhaps Kei and I are distant relatives."
“We are family.”
Gojo Satoru was so happy that he put his hand on Fushiguro Megumi's head: "Megumi can also say happy words..."
"Let me go..." The little Megumi Fushiguro was unable to resist the huge Gojo Satoru. He finally found a chance to speak: "Nee, why is it possible that you and I are distant relatives?"
"Because of the principle of confidentiality, these large families, if they want to continue, will choose to marry within their families."
"So... you and Auntie are like this too?"
"Me? We're in a free love relationship." Gojo Satoru patted Fushiguro Megumi, "We're not that feudal."
Fushiguro Megumi, who was slapped, puffed up her cheeks angrily: "My aunt's last name is neither Zenin nor Gojo."
"Megumi's father and Yuki's mother are the same generation."
"Oh..." Fushiguro Megumi dragged out this "oh" for a long time. They must have a very good relationship.
All of them are of the same character.
Hui's question has been answered, and now it's time to get to the point.
"The Zenin family loves to study spells. They love to collect all kinds of spells. They have the most vassals of other spellcasters. But... the Zenin family's trump card spell has always been the 'Ten Shadow Spells'."
This is the name of my technique.
"So? What do you want to say?" Megumi Fushiguro raised her head.
"This brings us to Hui's scoundrel father. Your father ran away from home, gave birth to you, and then married into the family and changed his surname. Of course, Hui's surname also changed. All of this is—"
"I don't care."
"That's right... after all, he sold you out."
Sold...? Do you mean selling me as a commodity?
"I knew it." Fushiguro Megumi said unhappily.
"I think Hui is what your father uses to deal with the Zenin family."
"That's still taking advantage of me."
How could Hui be so perceptive? It was such a difficult conversation today.
"The current situation is that the Zenin family is preparing to take Hui back. What are your plans?"
"Because my aunt is gone?"
Gojo Satoru remained silent about this.
"Aunt..." Fushiguro Megumi frowned, "Is she dead?"
"Which answer does Hui want to hear?"
"What was the cause of aunt's death?"
"She's a kind person."
This sentence made Fushiguro Megumi a little difficult to understand.
"If we sacrifice just one person, we can save everyone. Is that something Kei is willing to do?"
"If I don't save her, will Tsumiki die?"
"Everyone is going to die one day."
"Then I don't know what my answer is. I don't need to think about that kind of thing."
"Hero has made a choice."
Megumi Fushiguro understood a little bit.
"I do not understand."
"I don't understand either."
The two of them stared at each other.
If we sacrifice one person, we can save everyone.
Hasukhan is constantly looking for solutions to save the astral plasma, but is unwilling to save himself.
Against Lord Tianyuan.
Against everyone in the world.
These are not a big deal.
You are not wrong.
You don't need to die.
…
I care about what you care about.
"Why would Auntie do this?" Fushiguro Megumi found it hard to imagine himself risking his life for a stranger. He would never do that.
"Can't Hui find the answer himself? You keep asking! I'm not..."
What's the point of finding the answer? I would never do such a thing.
"They took me back... for my technique?" Tsumiki was an ordinary person. "What will happen to Tsumiki?"
[Keiko will enjoy a happy life by following you.]
"Tsumiki..." Fushiguro Megumi interrupted Gojo Satoru. He wanted to confirm one thing. "If I go there, will Tsumiki be happy?"
A profound silence fell.
Gojo Satoru frowned, then quickly relaxed. He looked over the top of Fushiguro Megumi's head, toward a certain place where you might be standing.
[If I tell you that Miss... almost died in Zenin's house, what will you do?]
[Are you not going to resort to violence?]
[That's a shame.]
"No. Absolutely not. I can say that for sure."
Mr. Gojo is serious.
Tsu Miki will not be happy.
Fushiguro Megumi looked grim: "Then they have nothing to do with me."
"How can it be okay~" Gojo Satoru looked away and stared at Fushiguro Megumi and said, "They are not good people like me."
"We might do anything to arrest you." Gojo Satoru threatened the child.
"My technique isn't very strong?"
"It's far worse than mine."
"cut……"
"Do you expect Kei to always protect you and Tsumiki?"
Fushiguro Megumi turned her head awkwardly: "Who needs your protection?"
Gojo Satoru pressed Fushiguro Megumi's left shoulder and looked him in the eye: "You need to become stronger. At least strong enough that I won't leave you too far behind."
"Is it really useful to become stronger? Isn't my aunt still——"
Gojo Satoru involuntarily increased his strength, while Fushiguro Megumi remained silent. The two stared at each other stubbornly. Finally, Gojo Satoru took the initiative and spoke in the softest voice possible, "If you want to protect the one you love, you must become stronger."
Mr. Gojo's eyes are surprisingly bright.
Why is he wearing sunglasses? Is he trying to look cool? Why would my aunt like such a childish guy?
aunt?
Is it just the three of us from now on?
"わかった."
Gojo Satoru took a deep breath and laughed wildly.
Is it really worth being happy about?
"If you want to become stronger... you'll have to suffer a little. Keep trying."
He will definitely torment you.
This bastard—
"Please, Mr. Gojo. After you finish your milk, you should get ready for bed."
Gojo Satoru drank the whole thing in one gulp and burped with a milky taste.
"benefit?"
"You're not staying tonight?"
"Mr. Gojo?"
"Tsumiki, I have something else to take care of."
Tsu Miki pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "Will you come back?"
"certainly."
"But you may have to wait a few more days. You will have to solve many things on your own—"
"Can Tsumiki and I skip kindergarten?"
Gojo Satoru almost spit out the milk he had swallowed.
"Emi?" Tsu Miki couldn't understand either.
"We don't have parents who can be on call at any time to complete those meaningless parent-child activities at school." Why will I be isolated if I don't participate in these activities? Why should I be bullied if I am different?
Mr. Gojo is right, we really need to become stronger.
Megumi Fushiguro is a bad boy.
"Ahhh..." Gojo Satoru scratched his head. He finally said calmly, "I'll try my best."
"You're not going to let me do this... Aren't you attending a specialized school?"
"You might as well try it, Hui."
Gojo Satoru never attended kindergarten, elementary school, or junior high school.
He rubbed Fushiguro Megumi's head and said, "I'm leaving."
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Gojo."
"Tsumeki?"
"This watch seems to be broken." Tsu Miki found it at home this afternoon.
"Not turning anymore?" That shouldn't be the case.
[I'll give Satoru a gift as well.]
Gojo Satoru remembered you and Mingming discussing watches. He bought a pair after you woke up. One for you, one for himself. But everyone at the high school knew about your relationship. Gojo Satoru didn't need to publicize it—he didn't wear a watch. So what if he was a few minutes late?
And I already have a mobile phone to check the time.
This pair of watches was later bewitched by someone else.
The effect is...
Time consistency
A trivial effect. The two watches could have been adjusted to match. The watches themselves were meaningless. What mattered was the fact itself. A fool couldn't appreciate the romance of this! Of course, for Gojo Satoru, he cared more about "people" than "things." If it wasn't useful, it wasn't useful—the hour hand was at "12," the minute hand at...
"Tsumiki...it's not broken..." Gojo Satoru muttered to himself.
12:07
How could such a coincidence happen?
"I'll take this watch."
It's not just my delusion that you'll come back.
Not a delusion.
