Chapter 4, though immoral, is very tempting.
Gojo Satoru considered himself a very magnanimous person, and he quickly accepted the fact that Oriyuki Karin was a young child who lacked manners, deciding not to argue with a little brat. Natsuyuki, on the other hand, took a few minutes to accept that the child in front of him was his future daughter.
Then he tried hard to make the child understand, so he put in a lot of effort to organize his thoughts in simple language and explain it to her.
The narrative language is very simple and unadorned, the attitude is careful and tactful, and many comforting words are interspersed throughout, for fear of accidentally scaring the child to tears.
Okiyuki Karin always felt like she was being treated like a fool.
Regardless, Karin Oriyuki, who knew the script better than him, still performed very cooperatively. However, her acting wasn't very good, so her nodding seemed a bit perfunctory.
In Xia Youjie's view, the child just didn't quite understand, so he explained it again.
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
She really was taken for a fool, wasn't she?
She nodded again, indicating that there was nothing wrong with her intelligence: "I understand, I have come to the world 10 years ago."
Then, she asked the question that concerned her most: "So... can I call him Dad?"
In other words: Can I acknowledge this father? Can he provide food and lodging? Can he guarantee my safety?
But Xia Youjie heard these words and they meant something else entirely: "Dad, do you want me or not?"
This question made him feel like he was a scumbag who would abandon his wife and daughter.
He paused for a moment, then replied, "Okay."
Then, Ooyuki Karin laughed very happily.
Yay! No matter what, I've got a powerful backer!
Looking at the child's pure smile, Xia Youjie also slightly curled the corners of his lips.
It's a pretty strange feeling.
Gojo Satoru leaned back and remarked, "Jay, you look just like an old father when you smile."
Xia Youjie: "..."
——
Xia Youjie tried to help his future daughter resolve the time-travel issue, hoping to find out why she had traveled to the future and then send the child back. Unfortunately, Zhi Xueya and Hua Li knew absolutely nothing about it.
If she knew how she achieved time travel, the first thing she would do would be to turn it into a paid service, which would definitely be a bestseller.
Unable to get any information from him, Xia Youjie could only temporarily consider how to take the child in.
I can't let my daughter, who will be here 10 years from now, starve to death 10 years ago.
The first question that arises is – where to stay?
Well, the child's father is still just a student living in a school dormitory. He hasn't even achieved housing freedom himself. Where else can he throw the Yuki Akahara?
Xia Youjie decided to take Zhixue Yahuali to find their homeroom teacher, Ye'e Zhengdao.
“No need to look anymore.” Gojo Satoru pointed behind him. “They’re already here.”
Behind him came Masamichi Yagami's roar: "Gojo Satoru! Natsuyu Suguru! What are you two up to now!"
"Xia You! How many times have I told you? Don't release unregistered spirits! Now take them back right now!"
Gojo Satoru picked at his ear, looking nonchalant: "Hey, I'm telling you, Night Moth, this alarm wasn't set up by either of us, was it?"
This wasn't the first time they'd denied something so blatantly, so Moth Lord didn't believe them at all: "If it wasn't just the two of you, then who was it? Was there a third person here?!"
Gojo Satoru pointed behind Natsumi Yuuki: "Hey, isn't that right?"
Following the direction of his finger, Ye Mo Zhengdao noticed a child behind Xia Youjie's baggy trousers.
Just as she met the eyes of the furious Night Moth Masamichi, Karin Oriyuki felt like she was facing the school's dean of students, and instinctively shrank back: "I-I'm sorry, it was me..."
Masamichi Noi was stunned, not expecting that it really wasn't Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suke who were behind it.
And... where did this child come from?
Gojo Satoru, still watching with amusement, said, "Yeah, she did it. Go ahead and scold her."
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Xia Youjie: "..."
Night Moth said: "..."
Of course, Yamo Masamichi couldn't really scold a child. He hesitated for a moment, comparing the similarities between Xia Youjie and Zhi Xueya Karin's facial features, and then asked, "Jie, is this... a relative of yours?"
"Pfft." Gojo Satoru turned his head, his shoulders shaking as he tried to suppress a laugh.
In the past, the quick-tongued Gojo Satoru would have spoken up immediately. But he didn't.
He wanted to see how Jay planned to introduce Orishita Karin to Nightmoth.
Karin Origami also had a look of anticipation on her face, ready to see how Brother Jie planned to introduce her.
Under the "expectant" gaze of the children, Xia Youjie felt immense pressure.
"Uh..." He scratched his face awkwardly, feeling guilty, and said, "They're not relatives. Teacher Yemo, this is... Natsuyu Ayakari, my... daughter."
The Way of the Night Moth: ? ? ?
He frowned: "Yours what?"
“My daughter~” Gojo Satoru stretched out his hands to Oriyuki Karin and showed them off, “Look, she looks just like me, doesn’t she? Hmm, except for the eyes. Jack doesn’t have such big eyes, so she must have inherited them from her mother.”
Xia Youjie: = =＃
Before Gojo Satoru could finish speaking, he said, "But the technique is the same~ Because that scumbag Jie abandoned his wife and daughter and refused to fulfill his filial duties, our poor little Rika had no choice but to come to us on her own. She was crying so pitifully just now, look, her eyes are still red."
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Xia Youjie clenched his fist: "Wu, stop talking nonsense here."
"Huh? You dare say that Little Pear Blossom isn't your daughter?"
Xia Youjie: "..."
Night Moth Masamichi frowned, scrutinizing the situation before him that seemed both absurd and reasonable, his expression growing increasingly serious.
Especially when Xia Youjie did not refute Wu Tiao Wu's last sentence, Yaga Seimichi's scrutinizing gaze almost solidified.
Clearly, although what Gojo Satoru said earlier was probably just empty talk, the child in front of him was indeed Xia Youjie's daughter, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
How old is he?
How old is this child?!
In an instant, Ye Moth Zhengdao's mind was filled with all sorts of inhumane things his young students might do.
Xia Youjie was even more embarrassed: "Ahem... Teacher Night Moth, please let me explain..."
Night Moth Masamichi looked at him sternly: "Hmm, you explain."
I'd like to see how you explain this.
Xia Youjie: "..."
──
Fortunately, an explanation was still possible. Xia Youjie quickly explained clearly that the child had traveled from ten years in the future, fearing that he would really be seen as a scumbag who was young and ignorant.
After hearing this, Masamichi Noi also found it somewhat novel, but in any case, it was better than his student having a 5-year-old daughter at this age.
He glanced at Yuki Ayaka and Karin over there, pinched the bridge of his nose, and asked, "In that case, what are your plans for settling her in now?"
"Ms. Night Moth, I was just about to look for you. Akari doesn't have anywhere to go right now, so I was wondering if it would be possible for her to stay at the vocational high school for the time being."
Masamichi Nobi glanced at the child looking at him expectantly and felt a bit of a headache.
Suddenly another minor spirit manipulator has appeared. If this gets out, the supervisory department will probably have to hold another meeting.
But he couldn't just leave it unattended, so he nodded: "I'll go talk to the principal, but first I need to register her magical power."
We can't let this alarm keep going off all the time.
And so, Gojo Satoru and Natsuyuki took Oriyuki Karin to register their curse power.
Xia Youjie asked Zhixue Yahuali to register the cursed spirits as well, but he specifically reminded her: "You don't need to register cursed spirits that you don't usually use, as long as you don't release them within the barrier of the high school."
Clearly, he himself does this kind of thing quite often.
Gojo Satoru raised his index finger and gave Oriyuki Karin a good suggestion: "Or after you release her, just say that it was Jet who released her."
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Xia Youjie: = =#
"Wu, don't force me to take action." Xia Youjie's fists were already clenched.
Gojo Satoru immediately cupped his face in his hands, making an exaggerated expression of terror: "Ugh—how scary, how scary! Rika, look, your dad is so fierce!"
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Xia Youjie: "..."
In front of the child, Xia Youjie silently put away his fist.
Origami Karin: Actually, I'd really like to see it.
Gojo Satoru was already sticking his tongue out at Natsuyuki with a smug look on his face. Oriyuki Karin could already imagine that she would be repeatedly used by him to suppress Natsuyuki's anger.
Let's see how long Brother Jie can endure it.
But to be fair, regarding the suggestion that Gojo Satoru just made...
Well... it sounds a bit unethical, but it's definitely tempting.
Although it might not be very friendly to Jay Chou, it is indeed somewhat tempting.
Although... it doesn't seem to have any other downsides, it's just really tempting.
Ahem, never mind, unless you have the strongest skills, it's best not to learn anything recklessly.
──
Since Xia Youjie's words implicitly indicated that Zhixue Ayakari could keep some cursed spirits without registering them, Zhixue Ayakari obediently registered only one Big Mouth Pelican.
After registering their curse powers, Gojo Satoru and Natsumi Yuki planned to take Yuki Ayakari to buy some clothes and daily necessities.
Gojo Satoru held up his index finger: "Go and call Shoko too."
Xia Youjie thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "That's true. She should know more about things that girls use than we do."
Gojo Satoru: "No, I just wanted her to come and see what's going on."
Jay suddenly has such a grown daughter, how could he not share this joy with Shoko?
Xia Youjie: "..."
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
And so, Shoko Ieiri, who was taking a nap, was abruptly awakened by the knocking and calling at the door.
She opened the door to the two people outside, exhausted and angry: "Give me a reasonable reason for waking me up, or else I will definitely..."
The conversation abruptly stopped as Ieiri Shoko looked at the little girl being held in Natsuyuki's arms.
Karin Oriyuki greeted everyone very politely, "Hello, older sister~"
Xia Youjie immediately corrected, "No, Ya Huali, according to seniority... you should call her Auntie."
Shoko Ieiri twitched her lips and said, "Shut up and just call me 'older sister'."
She frowned, her gaze sweeping over Gojo Satoru and Natsumi Yuuki, and asked, "Whose child is this? Have you two become so depraved that you're going to kidnap underage children?"
Xia Youjie: "...Is that how you perceive us?"
Ieiri Glass retorted, "Otherwise what?"
Completely unconcerned about being criticized, Gojo Satoru blurted out, "Shoko, don't you think this kid looks a lot like Gon?"
Shoko Ieiri glanced at Karin Ooriyuki, then at Natsuyuki, and was about to ask if she was Natsuyuki's sister.
Gojo Satoru snapped his fingers: "That's right, she's Jay's daughter! His biological daughter!"
The words that Ieiri Shoko was about to say were swallowed back. The sleepiness in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by confusion and shock. Her eyes, as she looked at the three of them, clearly conveyed three words:
"Seriously?"
“Of course I’m serious,” Gojo Satoru showed her Karin Oriyuki’s face directly. “Look at this face, does it look like a joke? And not only does it look like her, but Karin’s magic is also a spell manipulation technique~”
Ieiri Shoko's gaze darted back and forth between Natsuyuki and Oriyuki Karin once more, before finally managing to give Natsuyuki a thumbs-up with difficulty: "Awesome."
Xia Youjie: "..."
