Chapter 44, Chapter 11: Father or something
Fushiguro Megumi never expected that someone would take a liking to him, and that the other person would even try to flirt with him.
No matter how precocious he was, he was still just a twelve-year-old boy. Even though he was usually embarrassed by Gojo Satoru, this was the first time he had encountered something like this.
He immediately frowned and refused, then out of the corner of his eye he saw that Yuki Ayaka Karin, who had already come out of the restroom, was staring at him with her mouth wide open in surprise.
That's still my future daughter...
Fushiguro Megumi felt even more ashamed.
"Sorry, I have something to do, I have to go now." He hurriedly said this, ignoring the other person's attempts to stop him, and went over to pick up Yuki Ayaka and Karin, wanting to leave quickly.
However, he was stopped by the woman's bodyguard.
The other person smiled demurely: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Is this your sister? She looks very cute."
Fu Heihui frowned. If he wanted to leave, these people couldn't stop him. But this was an underground casino, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.
Karin Oriyuki completely failed to grasp Fushiguro Megumi's troubles; she simply found it incredibly amusing and blinked at the wealthy woman in front of her.
Wanting to see what would happen, she didn't mention that Fushiguro Megumi was her father, but instead asked curiously, "How much are you offering?"
She was eager to know how Fushiguro Megumi's market value was.
Fushiguro Megumi: "..."
The elegant lady opposite her was taken aback by what she said, and then laughed.
She knew that a boy with that kind of appearance must be here for money, and Yuki Ayaka's words made her even more certain.
Her smiling gaze swept across Fu Hei Hui's face before she said, "This little brother is so likable, how about ten million?"
Fushiguro Megumi, who was being priced like a commodity, didn't look too happy.
Karin Origami tilted her head: "Only ten million?"
Her words made the lady laugh.
She found it quite novel; it was the first time she had ever seen someone negotiate prices with a child. Intrigued, she smiled and asked Yuki Ayaka, "Is ten million too little? How much do you want?"
Zhi Xueya had no idea what the market price was for this kind of business. She pondered for a moment before asking, "What's the highest you're willing to pay?"
Fushiguro Megumi: "..."
The wealthy woman smiled broadly; she found Yuki Akahara extremely adorable.
"Little friend, you don't know how much ten million is, do you? Ten million is a lot of money."
Seeing that she was being treated like a little kid who didn't know how much money she had, Zhi Xueya Karin pouted and said unconvinced, "Of course I know that ten million is a lot, but our Huihui sold for a billion!"
Upon hearing the announcement of a billion, the wealthy woman opposite looked at Fukuro Megumi in surprise.
Fuhei Hui's lips twitched.
"Mingli, don't talk nonsense."
Of course he knew that Gojo Satoru had spent 1 billion to buy him from Fushiguro Jinji, but that was for ten types of shadow magic. How come, after what Yuki Akahara said, it seemed like 1 billion was the price for him to sell himself?
Fushiguro Megumi dared not let Oriyuki Karin continue speaking, and quickly took advantage of the moment when the rich lady's bodyguards were also surprised by the ten billion to slip away.
While being held by him, Yuki Ayaka was turning her head back to look at the rich woman.
You know what, she is actually quite attractive, and has a great figure; she's the mature, sophisticated type she likes.
If there were a wealthy woman in real life willing to spend ten million to keep her as a mistress, she would definitely agree.
Oriyuki Ayaka: Sigh.
Seeing that she was still looking in that direction, Fukuguro Megumi turned her head back with a displeased expression: "Stop looking. Don't talk to people like that next time."
Karin Origami obediently turned around and noticed that Megumi Fushiguro's ears were a little red. She asked in surprise, "Megumi, are you shy?"
Fushiguro Megumi: "..."
He was, after all, only a first-year junior high school student, so he was naturally a little embarrassed by this situation.
But he stubbornly denied it: "No."
Zhi Xueya Karin has absolutely no emotional intelligence left. She poked his ear with her finger and said, "You're lying. Your ears are all red."
Fushiguro was so speechless that she almost wanted to throw the person out.
He decided to change the subject: "You should call me Dad."
Karin Oriyuki became even more certain: "You're changing the subject! You really are just shy, aren't you?"
Fushiguro Megumi: "..."
He decided to shut up.
Karin Oriyuki found it hilarious that Fushiguro Megumi had been chosen by a rich woman, and couldn't help but tell Fushiguro Jinji when she returned to him.
Fuhei Shen'er didn't find it funny that Fuhei Hui had been chosen by a rich woman. He had actually been watching them out of the corner of his eye and had guessed what was going on.
However, he didn't think it was a big deal, so he didn't do anything.
—If Fushiguro Megumi can't even solve this, he might laugh at him for being useless.
However, Fushiguro Megumi felt extremely embarrassed and kept trying to stop him but didn't know how, so she looked utterly hopeless.
Fuheshen found his utterly humiliating expression hilarious, so he smirked and chuckled.
Fushiguro Megumi: "..."
He didn't want to talk.
After finishing her gossip, Shiori Ayaka turned to Fushiguro and asked, "Daddy, did you win just now?"
"No," Fuheshel replied casually, sounding neither upset about losing money.
Although he was immersed in gambling, he didn't actually care about winning or losing.
He reached out and pulled Yuki Akahara into his arms, then said listlessly, "Let's go."
However, Tokiyuki Karin interpreted these words differently. This time, she put her little hand on Fukushige's shoulder and asked, "Did you lose it all so quickly?"
Fuheishen: "..."
Fushiguro Megumi couldn't help but smile slightly.
Although he feels frustrated when he is speechless because of the children's bluntness, he finds it somewhat amusing when Oriyuki Karin hits a nerve.
When Fukushiro looked at Fukushiro Megumi, Fukushiro Megumi had already suppressed his very faint smile.
But Fuheshel seemed to have noticed, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
He had often lost all his money at casinos before, and he had never thought much of it. But for some reason, this time Fuheshchen felt very uncomfortable.
Especially since Oriyuki Karin and Fushiguro Megumi both seemed to be openly laughing at him, he felt like he was losing face.
In reality, he hadn't lost all his money; he simply didn't want to stay there any longer.
From the moment he entered the casino, Fuheshel felt very uncomfortable.
Although it wasn't very obvious, he was actually secretly keeping an eye on Karin Oori and Megumi Fushiguro.
Ayaka Arashi looked very curious about the place, finding everything new and interesting, and turning her head to look left and right.
In her opinion, it was normal for her dad to gamble, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Fukuro Megumi didn't show any expression on his face either—he didn't like Fukuro Jinji's behavior of being so engrossed in the casino, but since the other party didn't seem to have much to do with him in his eyes, he didn't care much.
It was precisely their expressions, as if they didn't think there was anything wrong, that made Fuheishener feel like he had done something wrong.
Especially considering that Shiki Ayakari had such a face. Fukushiro felt as if his deceased wife was watching from heaven, watching him bring his two children to such a place.
Although he never believed in such nonsense as people going to heaven after they die.
So he appeared to be gambling as if nothing was wrong, but he was actually very unhappy inside.
But after leaving the underground casino, Fuheshel had no idea where to go.
Karin, still curious about his next plans, asked him, "Daddy, where are we going now?"
Fuheshchen's mind flashed through many places he used to go to pass the time when he was bored, but now that he was holding this little one in his arms, most of those places were rejected.
They were thinking of going out for barbecue, but they had just eaten at home before coming out at this time.
In the end, he could only reluctantly make the decision: "Go back."
Karin Origami was somewhat surprised: "You're going back so soon?"
Fushiguro Megumi was also somewhat surprised, because including the time spent on the road, they had only been out for about two hours.
Fukushige didn't reply, and Oriyuki Karin knew that this meant she had tacitly agreed.
Karin was slightly disappointed; she had thought she could visit other places. This was even rarer material than the daily lives of Gojo Satoru and Natsuyuki—the daily life of Daddy.
It's a pity Daddy isn't going today.
Zhiyuki Akarin: It seems she really lost everything, not a single penny left.
On the way back, the father and son remained silent, with Yuki and Karin poking each other repeatedly.
Fuhei Shener strongly suspected that Shiki Akari had nothing else to play with and was using him as a toy.
Just as they were about to pass a bookstore, Fushiguro Megumi remembered that he needed to buy some books. Glancing at Fushiguro Jinji, who was indeed heading straight home, he said, "You guys go back first, I'm going to buy something."
Zhi Xueya Karin, while tugging at Fu Heishen, turned to ask him, "What are you buying?"
Fushiguro pointed to the bookstore across the street: "I'm going to buy a few books."
Karin Oriyuki: "We'll go with you!"
We, she made the decision directly on behalf of Vöhsør.
What else? If you ask, Daddy definitely won't go anywhere.
Fukushiro really didn't want to go; he even felt a headache coming on when he heard Oriyuki Karin blurt out the word "we."
But... he suddenly remembered that he had nothing to do after he got back, and the TV was still this little guy's.
Fuhe Shen'er: Suddenly I feel like I really should go buy a book.
So in the end, all three of them went to the bookstore together.
This bookstore is located between the Fushiguro family's house and Fushiguro Megumi's school. Fushiguro Megumi used to be a frequent customer there. The owner recognized him and greeted him as soon as he arrived.
Seeing Fuheishen following behind, he was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Are these your father and sister? Your father really does look like you."
Fushiguro Megumi paused for a moment, then finally nodded: "Mm."
This seemed to be the first time he had admitted to others that Fuhesh was his father, and he felt a little awkward about it.
As for Karin Oori, because it's difficult to explain, she's always said to be Megumi Fushiguro's younger sister.
Fushiguro Megumi went to choose books by herself, while Oriyuki Karin hesitated for a moment because the disguise she was wearing this time was too young, and didn't look at anything, instead snuggling in Fushiguro's arms.
To her surprise, Fuheshchen picked up a book.
Fuheshen didn't know what to read. He wasn't a big reader, but he bought a few novels and magazines for leisure.
When it came time to pay, the shopkeeper directly charged both of their books to Fukuguro Jinji, which surprised Fukuguro Megumi, who was about to pay.
Fuheshield didn't offer any opinion; he glanced at the book Fuheshield had bought, seemingly unintentionally, out of the corner of his eye.
Although they had been living under the same roof for some time, he had never been inside Fushiguro Megumi's room before, and this was the first time he had learned that Fushiguro Megumi liked to read, and that he liked this type of book.
He looked away, seemingly still indifferent to everything.
Just as curious as him was Karin Oriyuki.
Zhi Xueya Karin: So Huihui likes to watch this kind of thing. I'll remember that and I'll complete the settings when I get back.
Seeing that Fushiguro Jinji hadn't said anything, seemingly agreeing that the boss would put all the money on his tab, Fushiguro Megumi silently withdrew his original plan to pay separately.
Even the book ends with Fuhshenti.
Fushiguro Megumi walked behind, feeling a strange feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.
A father figure... a character who had never appeared in his life before, suddenly squeezed into his daily routine.
It feels a bit awkward. I'm not used to it; it's strange.
But after thinking about it, Fushiguro Megumi realized that the other party had only returned because of Akari.
Oh well, things will be the same as before once Mingli leaves.
That's what he was thinking.
