Chapter 94, Chapter 8: This daughter seems to be quite different from what he expected...
Gojo Satoru noticed the child's dazed expression, but instead of approaching, he curled his lips into what he considered a very charming smile and said to Oriyuki Karin, "Aren't you going to say hello?"
He imagined that the child would be extremely excited when he saw him, shouting "Dad!" and rushing towards him, and then he could easily pick the child up and lift him high in the air.
What a beautiful sight!
After that, he could hold the child, take a few photos with their faces close together, and send them to Jay, Glass, Night Moth, Miss Ming, Diva, Nana Akira, Yu, and the students...
As for whether his daughter would dislike him or be distant from him, Gojo Satoru felt that this was a false premise.
He's Gojo Satoru! Who wouldn't like Gojo Satoru?!
impossible!
However, while he was still lost in his fantasies, reality was not as he had imagined. Kiriyuki Karin simply pursed her lips, her hand gripping her sleeve beneath her arm, and silently approached him.
Gojo Satoru: Hmm...
It's alright, your daughter is just too nervous! After all, it's her first time meeting him, and she seems a bit reserved, so she'll definitely need some time to adjust.
Gojo Satoru immediately convinced himself.
It's okay if he's reserved! He's got enough energy; he can totally influence his daughter!
If he were to be more reserved, his daughter might even blush when they kiss, which makes his daughter quite adorable!
Then, he looked at Karin Oriyuki with anticipation in his eyes, waiting for Karin Oriyuki to shyly call him "Dad".
Ayaka Shiki opened and closed her mouth, pretending to be hesitant, as if she didn't know what to call Gojo Satoru.
Just as Gojo Satoru was about to get impatient and ask her to call him "Dad," Oriyuki Karin awkwardly called out, "Satoru-sama."
"Huh???" Gojo Satoru's smile faltered.
"Wait a minute, what did you call me?" Gojo Satoru was still smiling, but at the same time, a question mark appeared above his head.
"I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds." Ayaka Shiki lowered her head, her lips pursed, and changed her address as if facing a formidable enemy, "Head of the Clan."
Gojo Satoru: "...?"
"No, what did you call me???"
Seeing his slightly cracked expression, Kiryuki Karin chuckled inwardly.
What? You want me to call you "Dad" right away?
Dream on.
She is now a daughter of a laboratory worker, unknown to Gojo Satoru. Although she has admired Gojo Satoru since childhood, she believes she will never be recognized by him. After transmigrating, she didn't even dare to see Gojo Satoru in person, even after arriving at the entrance of the high school. How could she dare to come up and call Gojo Satoru "Dad"? Impossible.
Seeing the crack in Gojo Satoru's expression, Oriyuki Karin merely lowered her eyes and repeated, seemingly even more coldly, "Master."
She had already learned about Gojo Satoru's current situation from Mingming, so there was nothing wrong with calling him the head of the family.
If you won't let me call you by your name, then I can call you the head of the family, right?
Gojo Satoru couldn't hold back any longer. He squatted down and brought his face close to Oriyuki Karin's, pointing at himself and asking, "Aren't I your father?"
His original intention was to get Karin Ooyuki to call him "Dad," but Karin Ooyuki, who didn't want him to get his way so easily, pretended to be a sensitive child and misinterpreted it as him being angry about it.
She lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry..."
She was apologizing for her existence, even though her background was not something she could choose.
Gojo Satoru understood what the child meant, paused for a moment, and then reached out, intending to pick up Oriyuki Karin directly.
However, as soon as he reached out, Yuki Ayaka instinctively dodged, avoiding him completely, and her six bright blue eyes glanced at him in alarm.
Gojo Satoru: "..."
He looked at his empty hands.
This wasn't quite what he expected...
No, it's so different!
Karin Origami also looked at his hand.
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
This time it really wasn't intentional; it was completely subconscious. It's because every other alias, Gojo Satoru, used to bully her, either pulling her hair or giving her a really hard rub on the head. Whenever Oriyuki Karin saw him reach out, she instinctively dodged.
As for why she looked panicked—she felt a pang of unease after she dodged, worried that she might have gone out of character.
Oriyuki Karin: It's over, her script!
——
Having been kept on the run all day without eating, Gojo Satoru and the other two sat down in a rather unsettled mood, and Gojo Satoru ordered some food for himself.
After the waiter left, he looked at Yuki Ayaka, and the child who had been secretly watching him hurriedly lowered her eyes.
Gojo Satoru: Ah...cute!
Among them, Karin Oori is secretly observing Satoru Gojo's expression, wondering if he has noticed that she just went out of character.
Ayaka Kaori felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.
She's supposed to be someone who deeply admires Gojo Satoru, so logically she should be looking forward to being recognized by him and having him pat her head. But her body reacted faster than her brain, and she dodged it immediately.
It's all Gojo Satoru's fault! If he hadn't always been just teasing her, would she have developed this kind of muscle memory?
In her mind, Karin Okiyuki cursed Gojo Satoru several times, but finally decided to interpret her behavior as a sign that she was worried that Gojo Satoru would not like her because of her background, so she subconsciously thought that Gojo Satoru was going to make a move.
Okay, that's it.
As for whether it's reasonable or not...
Is it wrong for her to be young and have a quick, unconventional way of thinking? Anyway, if the sky falls, it's because she's young and immature; we don't care about anything else, like Yuki and Karin.
Gojo Satoru had no idea what Oriyuki Karin was thinking; she simply decided that the child liked him, so she was secretly watching him.
He laughed and flicked the top of the other person's head where the hair was pointing at him: "If you want to look, then look openly. I didn't say you can't look."
He deliberately teleported away for a moment, taking off his blindfold and fixing his hair, wasn't that all for this?
However, Karin Oori did raise her head, but she said something that made Satoru Gojo even more upset.
She said calmly and earnestly, "Although my birth may not have been with your consent, I am now the next successor who carries the hopes of the Gojo family after you leave, and I am the future of the Gojo family. If you want to kill me, I will resist."
"You are strong, but I may not necessarily die." She looked at Gojo Satoru, her eyes filled with her own arrogance.
Very decisive, with the air of a six-eyed man, but...
Gojou split open.
"When did I say I was going to kill you?" He pointed to his nose, his eyes wide open.
Does he look like some kind of major villain?
"Wait a minute," Gojo Satoru suddenly realized, "So you dodged my hand just now because you thought I was going to attack you???"
Karin Origami, infuriatingly calm, retorted, "Isn't that right?"
Gojo Satoru: "..."
Gojo Satoru's blood pressure rose as he was cornered, and his voice also increased: "If I wanted to kill someone, would I need to actually do it?"
One sentence drew the attention of many people around.
After all, it's hard to ignore such outrageous remarks made in public.
However, Gojo Satoru didn't care at all and continued, "Although I do have a problem with those old men, the two of them are basically seamlessly connected six-eyed, and I can tell they must have used countless dirty tricks."
"But even if I were to kill, shouldn't I be killing those guys? What's it to you?"
Gojo Satoru felt wronged about being misunderstood: "Am I that kind of guy in your eyes? Why would you take your anger out on an innocent child?"
It's clear that Gojo Satoru is really frustrated; he's changed his self-reference from over the years back to "Laozi" several times.
but……
Karin Oriyuki felt the stares from those around her, then glanced at Satoru Gojo, who seemed completely unconcerned: "..."
She frowned slightly and said in a stiff tone, "Please keep your voice down a little, it might cause some unnecessary trouble."
He looked like a little adult who was really worried about this.
Satoru Gojo, still waiting for an apology: "..."
All the grievances I felt were swallowed back, making me feel even more frustrated.
"You care more about this than me???"
She was like a little girl who had been wronged by a scumbag, full of grievances.
Karin Oriyuki: What a classic scene! She knows what to say!
She frowned again and began to lecture the other person: "No matter what, we shouldn't let these uninformed people know about our affairs, as it could bring hidden dangers."
The "unaware" she referred to were naturally non-sorcerers. Our affairs, however, refer to the world of sorcery and sorcerers.
In other words, it means: you shouldn't discuss matters of the pyromancy world so loudly in front of non-pyromancy practitioners, as this could cause them panic and have even worse consequences, such as increased negative emotions or an increase in cursed spirits.
Gojo Satoru listened to her earnest argument and looked at her serious expression.
"..."
Something just doesn't feel right.
Why did I suddenly feel like I was seeing the old men in my family?
Okiyuki Karin called over the waiter and then moved to a private room.
Now it's just them in the house.
Ayaka Shiki's brows relaxed slightly, and she regained her calm tone, saying, "Alright, you can continue now."
Gojo Satoru: "..."
I don't know why, but I feel inexplicably choked up.
He always felt that something was not quite right.
Karin Origami observed his expression, which looked like he had eaten shit, and chuckled inwardly. On the surface, however, she still appeared completely oblivious and continued, "I understand that you are very emotional after seeing me, but please don't mention matters of the jutsu world in public like this again."
“I think this should be a very simple thing for you, right?” She looked at Gojo Satoru as if it were the most natural thing in the world, her eyes filled with unwavering trust in his abilities.
It seems that in her eyes, Gojo Satoru is omnipotent, and this little thing is no problem for him at all.
Gojo Satoru, who didn't want this trust at all: "..."
This isn't right, this is very wrong.
Gojo Satoru finally discovered it—
This daughter... seems a little different from what he imagined.
No, they are very different.
