Chapter 50, Chapter 17: You're Too Weak
Upon arriving at the infirmary, Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Jinji learned from the wounded who had been left there that Xia Youjie had left after receiving a phone call, saying he was going to rescue someone.
Fushiguro Megumi paused, then turned to look at Oriyuki Karin, whom Fushiguro was holding, and said, "Earlier... Mingli took my phone, did she call Natsuyou-senpai?"
But his question went unanswered, because the terrified Karin had already fallen asleep on Fukushige's shoulder, her sleep restless as she clung to his clothes.
The situation is not so critical now, and Fushiguro Megumi belatedly realized how her two or three-year-old child could be so smart as to make phone calls on a cell phone.
At this age, they probably don't even know many words, right?
However, this matter wasn't very important, and Fushiguro Megumi didn't pay much attention to it. The thought just crossed her mind and she quickly put it behind her.
“Senior Xia You doesn’t know we’re safe now, and he’s probably still looking for us.” Fu Hei Hui looked at Fu Hei Shen Er, “Could I borrow your phone for a moment?”
Fuheshchen casually pulled out his phone from his pocket and gave it to him.
Fukuro Megumi used his phone to contact Xia Youjie. Xia Youjie was indeed very anxious on the other end, thinking that Fukuro Megumi and Oriyuki Karin had been wiped out. He was speechless when he learned that they had followed Fukuro Shinji to the high school.
So you're not going to tell anyone at all once you're safe?
The culprit, Yuki Aka: I'm sorry, I forgot, and then I fell asleep.
Speechless as he was, Xia Youjie patiently said, "Okay, then wait for me at the college for a moment, I'll be right back."
Fushiguro Megumi: "Okay, thank you for your help, Natsuyu-senpai."
——
After the treatment, the three Fukuro went home, and coincidentally, Yuki Ayaka woke up when she got home.
Upon arriving home, she was met with an anxious Miki Fushiguro.
Fushiguro Miki was genuinely terrified: "Seriously, Megumi, didn't you take Akari-chan to buy groceries? Why did it take you so long? Akari-chan, what happened to you?"
Covered in ash, Karin Oriyuki: "Ah... I..."
She looked at Fukuro Shin... no, Daddy wouldn't help explain, she looked at Fukuro Megumi.
Because Fushiguro Megumi had previously gone to the high school with Gojo Satoru, there were clothes there for him to change into, but Oriyuki Karin didn't have any, so she had to come back covered in dust.
Fushiguro Megumi: "..."
“Mingli got lost while playing and even fell into a ditch. It took me a while to find her.”
Zhixue Yahuali:? ? ?
No, you...I...
Miki Fushiguro looked helpless: "Seriously, Akari-chan, how could you be so careless? But Megumi, you too, why didn't you keep a closer eye on Akari-chan?"
Fushiguro Megumi readily admitted her mistake: "It was my oversight."
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Fine, I'll take the blame then. Anyway, I'm young, so I'm good at taking the blame.
Fushiguro Miki was still complaining, saying that there had been a major car accident near her home, which not only damaged the roadside guardrails but also knocked down the wall.
"I was so worried because you two hadn't come back and I couldn't get through on the phone. I thought something had happened to you."
Fushiguro Megumi: "Sorry, I accidentally lost my phone while looking for Akari."
A car accident—that sounds like a sorcerer's excuse to fool ordinary people.
Okiyuki Karin glanced at the "car" that caused the accident.
Fuheshchen acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Afterwards, Fuhe Shen'er contacted Kong Shiyu and described the appearance of Rimei that he had seen that day, asking Kong Shiyu to keep an eye on this person for him.
At the time, Yuki Ayaka was watching TV right next to him, her big, bright eyes staring at him.
Seeing that he only described his appearance, she raised her hand and added, "He said his name is Rimei, and he is one of Ryoumen Sukuna's subordinates!"
Taking advantage of the fact that Vohsheel wasn't there, she pretended that she had heard it from Rime before he arrived.
Fuhe Shen'er glanced at her, then relayed the information to Kong Shiyu.
After Fuheishen hung up the phone, Zhixueya Karin still couldn't resist adding insult to injury: "Daddy, let me tell you, he's so annoying! He grabbed my collar and choked me so hard I could hardly breathe. Next time you see him, you have to give him a good beating!"
Zhi Xueya Karin was indeed frightened by this incident. She didn't dare to leave Fu Heishen's side and followed him around like a little shadow every day.
She even wanted to drag Fuheishen along to accompany Fuhei Hui and act as his bodyguard while he studied.
Fushiguro Megumi: "..."
Fuheishen: "..."
Fortunately, Fushiguro said he still has some ability to protect himself and can find a chance to call for help even if something happens.
When Kiryuki Ayakari thought about it, she realized that she was the only one who was completely powerless.
Miki Watsumi.
So she patted Fushiguro Megumi's leg and earnestly told him to protect Fushiguro Tsumiki.
Despite being a small child who needed to be carried onto a stool even to sit at the table for a meal, Fushiguro Megumi's elder-like admonition made her fall silent for a moment.
Fukugoro laughed directly, showing no respect for Oriyuki Karin.
Then she was scolded by Yuki Aka.
Fuhe Shen'er: Not bothered at all, completely unconcerned about being scolded, just finds it funny.
As the weekend approached, Kaori was worried that Fuheishen would go out to do some missions, so before Friday even arrived, she started asking Fuheishen, "Daddy, you're not going to go on missions this weekend, are you?"
Fuheshchen glanced at her, knowing what she was worried about, and replied, "I'm not going."
"That's good." Karin Origami was relieved.
However, on a weekend morning, after finishing breakfast, Fukushige came to Fukushige Megumi and threw him two words: "Keep up."
Fushiguro Megumi: ?
He certainly wouldn't just blindly follow whatever Fuheishen said without asking any questions.
He looked at Fuheshchen in surprise: "Where are you going?"
Fuheshen glanced back at him and said only four words: "You're too weak."
Fushiguro Megumi paused for a moment, then fell silent.
Fuheishen turned around, picked up the Xueya Karin from the sofa, and walked out.
Suddenly airborne, Ayaka Karin: ?
"Daddy?" She turned her head and looked at Fu Heishen with a puzzled expression. "Are we going out?"
Fuheshchen: "Ah."
Where are we going?
"Higher vocational college".
Advanced Spellcasting Training Ground – Free Training Ground. Although Fushiguro Jinji had always been summoned here by Gojo Satoru or Natsume Yuuki in the past, this was the first time he had come here on his own initiative.
Without any prior discussion, the father-son teaching between Fushiguro Jinji and Fushiguro Megumi began.
It was supposed to be teaching, but it was really just getting beaten up. Fukuguro Shinobu showed no mercy, and Fukuguro Megumi was always beaten badly, but she never complained. Each time she was nearly beaten up, she would go to the infirmary to recover, then come back to get beaten up again.
As Yuki Ayaka watched Fushiguro Megumi get beaten up, she felt a pang of sympathy for him, but also inexplicably felt a surge of urge to join in.
It's not that she's a masochist, but after what happened last time, she still feels very scared.
Having transmigrated several times, although she always said that the world of magic was dangerous, the greatest danger she had ever encountered before was Gojo Satoru.
Facing Rimei directly this time made her feel an unprecedented sense of crisis, but unfortunately, her small arms and legs...
While Fushiguro Megumi was at the infirmary recovering her health, she asked Fushiguro Jinji with anticipation, "Daddy, is there anything I can practice?"
Fuheishener: ?
He glanced at her thin arms and short legs.
What did you say?
If you can fall down even when walking on flat ground, what else do you want to practice?
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
There was no need for such obvious contempt in his eyes.
In the end, Fuheishener found her something to practice—running laps.
Let's run until we can't fall on flat ground first.
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Why is she running laps again? She ran laps every day, from Xia Youya Huali to Fu Hei Mingli.
Running laps is just a way to exercise this vest, but the problem is she'll be changing vests next time, so what's the point of running laps?
Then she lay down, didn't run for a bit, and pretended she had never mentioned training.
Fuheishen glanced at her, scoffed, and ignored her.
He hadn't really intended to train the little one; he was just giving her something to do. Even from a family of sorcerers, she was still far too young to start training.
However, although Karin Oriyuki was lying down, she wasn't truly lying down. She would watch from the sidelines while Megumi Fushiguro and Jinji Fushiguro fought.
She had learned some basics last week and could barely understand a little bit of it.
It's okay if we can't practice; it's good to observe and learn from others.
This time, her advantage lies in the fact that she is now Heaven and Curse Bound. Although she is younger than the previous two aliases, her eyesight is better than the previous two, so she can see their moves clearly.
Sometimes Gojo Satoru would come and tease her, asking her if she could understand it.
She honestly replied, "I can understand a little bit."
Gojo Satoru found it very interesting. What could such a small child understand? So he asked her to explain.
Karin Origami also wanted to know if her understanding was correct, so she told him about it.
Gojo Satoru was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected the little guy to actually understand some of it.
He became interested as well. Since Fushiguro Megumi was being taught by his own father, he, as the teacher, had some free time, so he simply stood by and analyzed the moves of the two for Oriyuki Ayaka and Karin.
In order to make sure that Karin could understand, he spoke in a very... childish way.
It's that kind of tone used when coaxing a child.
Karin was somewhat speechless, but considering that he was genuinely trying to explain things in a good way, she decided not to fuss over this small detail.
──
Megumi Fushiguro always knew that Jinji Fushiguro was very strong. He was the Heaven and Tyrant, and the complete Heaven and Curse. In terms of physical skills alone, even Gojo-sensei and Natsuyu-san were no match for him.
However, he did not have a direct understanding of Voxel's strength before.
The first time I had that direct feeling was that day at school when Fukushige appeared behind him, holding Oriyuki Karin.
He was completely unaware of it.
Then there was that time when I watched the other party utterly crush that cursed spirit that could have killed him.
Pure, unparalleled strength.
Although I felt the same physical suppression from Gojo-sensei and Natsuyu-san, the oppressive feeling from Fushiguro Jinji was even stronger.
But he didn't expect that Fuhesh would actually offer to train him.
That guy... always seemed indifferent to everything.
Why bring this up suddenly?
Fushiguro Megumi seemed to have an answer, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, he made himself ignore it.
After that, Fuheshchen would take him to the college every weekend, where they would often practice for the whole day.
Fushiguro Megumi did not express any objection.
Fuheshel didn't explain why, nor did he ask. It seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them.
He still can't call him father, and hasn't found a suitable way to address him yet, always skipping the word.
He couldn't ignore the past and accept a father like that, especially since... he would eventually revert to his old self after Mingli left.
That's what Fushiguro Megumi was thinking.
Coincidentally, Vöhssen thought the same thing.
-----------------------
Author's Note: This is a belated update from yesterday.
The relationship between Daddy and Huihui won't become particularly close. It's more like a subtle feeling where they seem to have no real connection, but they both understand each other's feelings.
The Mingli arc will be coming to an end around tomorrow.
