Chapter 40, Chapter 7: The Trio Arrives
Since the only guest room was reserved for Fushiguro Jinji, Oriyuki Karin slept with Fushiguro Miki that night. The next day, when Fushiguro Miki was woken by her alarm clock, Oriyuki Karin was naturally woken up as well.
However, after waking up, she simply turned over and buried herself back under the covers.
Since she didn't have to go to school, of course she continued sleeping.
When Ayaka Arashi woke up, it was already eight or nine o'clock. She got up and carried her little stool to wash up. There was still breakfast in the kitchen, which either Fushiguro Megumi or Fushiguro Miki had prepared and left for her and her father. She just heated it up a little and ate it.
Hmm... it seems they both know that expecting their dad to cook is unlikely.
Karin Yuki felt acutely aware of the inconveniences of being a child. While she wasn't old during her previous two time travels, she was at least presentable enough. This time, however, she truly needed to carry a small stool the entire time; just heating up the breakfast and adding her own seasonings exhausted her.
No wonder kids love calling for their mothers all the time. If their fathers weren't still asleep, she would have called for her father too.
Sitting at the dining table, looking at her neatly dressed clothes, her clean little hands, and the warm breakfast in front of her, Ayaka Shiki couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, these days it's really rare to find a child as easy to raise as me."
As she ate, she felt something was missing.
--drinks.
So she ran over and struggled to open the refrigerator, took out a bottle of soda she had bought the night before, and then found that she couldn't open it.
She twisted the cap until her hands were red, but it still didn't budge.
Karin Oriyuki: Hmm...
She glanced instinctively at the closed guest room door.
It is known that she has a bottle cap that she can't open, and there is a microphone in the guest room that can break bottles.
Then the solution becomes clear!
Origami Karin rubbed her small hands together and silently recited in her heart: I am Fushiguro Megumi's daughter and Fushiguro Shinji's granddaughter. I inherited Fushiguro Shinji's constitution. I am—Heaven and Curse!
Yes, in the end, Yuki Akahara chose to experience what Heaven and Curse was like, between having her daddy open the bottle and opening it herself!
She pinched her little elbow.
These muscles don't seem to have exploded all at once, do they?
Was it successful or not?
She tried twisting the cap again, and it clicked open.
Shizuka Kaori was overjoyed; it seemed to work!
It was as if she had found a new game, and she began to look for new experimental targets.
Her gaze swept over the pieces of furniture in the house, and finally settled on the sofa.
Of course, it's the smallest single sofa.
Eager to try, Karin breathed on her hands and then reached out—and lifted them up!
Um?
I lift—
Damn, this is so heavy! Am I supposed to be cursed by the heavens? I can't even lift a sofa?
I...I'll lift it!!
After her face turned red from holding her breath, Kiryuki Ayaka finally lifted the sofa—just one corner.
There was no way around it; the sofa was too big, and she was so small that she couldn't even hug it. Lifting just one corner was already a testament to her superhuman strength.
Karin Okiyuki discovered that her current strength seemed to be about the same as her original strength.
Perhaps it's because this body is just too small?
But it's alright, at least it makes it easier for her to take care of herself. Anyway, with those tiny arms and legs, there's no hope of her fighting off the cursed spirit.
She couldn't hold on any longer and slammed the sofa down.
The single sofa landed heavily on the ground, the loud thud causing Ayaka Shiki to stand up straight.
In the guest room, Fuheishen, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
Karin Origami silently wiped her forehead.
Sorry, I couldn't hold on.
The guest room door creaked open, and Kiryuki Karin turned her head to look, meeting Fushiguro's slightly probing gaze.
Karin Origami silently put her hands behind her back: ".
Fukushige hadn't planned to get up. He glanced around and, realizing it wasn't an enemy coming to his door, was about to turn over and go back to sleep. But then he remembered that at this hour, the only other people in the house besides him were Yuki and Karin.
Although I didn't want to care, I got up anyway.
He looked at Oriyuki Karin, narrowed his eyes, and wondered what had just made the noise.
Karin Origami smiled sheepishly, "Good morning, Daddy. Do you want breakfast?"
Judging from that expression, even if Fukushige didn't know what she was up to, he was pretty sure she was.
Fuheishener: Tch, as expected, incredibly stupid.
——
There was an extra person on the table, Fuheishen, and... his breakfast was also heated up by Shiki Akarin.
It wasn't that Fuheishener intentionally used child labor, but rather that Osamu Karin was too guilty, so when Fuheishener went to wash his face, she took the initiative to heat up his breakfast.
After washing up, Fuheishen came out and saw that breakfast had been heated up for him on the dining table, and he couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.
Although he didn't consider himself a good father, it didn't have to be this bad.
He had his granddaughter, who was probably not even three years old, take care of him, and that granddaughter had a face that looked so much like his wife's.
Fuhe Shen'er:
However, since Yuki and Karin had already taken care of everything, he didn't say anything, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
After breakfast, the grandfather and grandson had nothing to do.
There's nothing we can do about it. After all, one of them doesn't need to work and the other doesn't need to go to school, so they can only... fight over one TV.
Clearly, Oriyuki Karin can't win against Fushiguro Shinobu, but she will cry.
Therefore, the remote control ultimately ended up in the possession of Oriyuki Karin.
Today I watched Naruto!
Fuheishen'er: Tsk.
The Heavenly Tyrant didn't want to see this, so he chose to close his eyes and take a nap.
After a while, the doorbell rang at the door.
Karin Ooyuki turned around and asked: "Hmm?"
She glanced at Fukushiro without thinking, but he didn't seem to have any intention of opening his eyes, so Shiki Akahara had to open the door herself.
The door opened—
Familiar fabric, familiar uniform, familiar buttons.
Looking further up—
A head of white hair.
Zhixue Yahuali: "."
Gojo Satoru looked at her and raised his hand to greet her.
Zhi Xueya and Hua Li slammed the door shut.
Gojo Satoru:?
Gojo Satoru: "..."
He couldn't help but laugh: "Why did you close the door after just one glance at me? Do I look like a bad guy?"
Xia Youjie, who had also been mistaken for a bad guy by the child yesterday, gloated behind his back: "Well~ don't mind it, maybe they just thought you were a beggar. I told you a long time ago not to cover your eyes with bandages, it really makes you look like you have an eye disease."
"Unlike sunglasses, I don't have to worry about bandages falling off. Besides—are there any beggars as handsome as me?"
"No, so he must have been mistaken for a fraudster pretending to be a beggar."
"That's still better than being treated like Buddha."
Upon hearing Gojo Satoru mention this, Ieiri Shoko couldn't help but laugh: "Speaking of which, Natsuyu, have you finished making your golden Buddha statue yet?"
Xia Youjie: "..."
His expression immediately turned much uglier.
What Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko were talking about was actually something that happened half a year ago. Natsuyuki saved someone during a mission, and the person survived the ordeal and immediately regarded Natsuyuki as the reincarnation of Buddha.
Most importantly, that person was a top salesman, incredibly skilled with words, and kept telling everyone that he had encountered the reincarnation of Buddha. As a result, he actually managed to attract a bunch of people to his faith, and recently that group has even been trying to create an image of Xia Youjie.
Because this matter strangely coincided with the mention of the leader of the Panxing Sect by both of his children back then, Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko made fun of him several times.
The three people's conversation could be heard clearly outside the door, and even inside, Karin Oori could hear it clearly. Only then did she realize that Shoko Ieiri and Suguru Natsuyu had also come.
And... what's the deal with Brother Jie's golden Buddha statue? It sounds intriguing, I want to hear about it.
The door opened the next moment.
Even though Gojo Satoru was the one who paid the money, he still had the key to the Fushiguro family's house.
As soon as she opened the door, she was met by Karin Oriyuki, who was still standing inside. Satoru Gojo smiled and waved the key in his hand at her: "Even if you don't open the door, I have a key~"
Considering that Oriyuki Ayaka is still a child and has transmigrated from another world, it's uncertain whether Fushiguro Megumi will even continue living in this house in the future. Therefore, Gojo Satoru added, "Do you have one?"
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Are you a child? What's so great about that?
Karin Oriyuki decided to teach Satoru Gojo a lesson, and so—
Her nose twitched slightly, she opened her mouth, and ran back, crying out, "Waaaaah... Daddy..."
Gojo Satoru: Huh?
Fu Heishen, lying on the sofa pretending to be asleep: "..."
He opened his eyes and glanced sideways at Gojo Satoru.
It's not that I'm angry, but I want to express one thing: You fucking try to coax me!
Xia Youjie, who was about to take a step, paused and pulled his foot back. He patted Wu Tiaowu on the shoulder and said, "Wu, you made him cry. Go ahead."
The two characters "Ieiri Glass" alone conveyed their attitude: "Go for it!"
Gojo Satoru: "..."
──
As it turns out, Gojo Satoru does know how to cheer someone up when he wants to. He didn't say anything comforting, but instead made a few funny faces at Oriyuki Karin, who couldn't help but laugh.
Gojo Satoru flashed a victory V: "See, I'm still really popular with kids!"
None of them commented on his statement, mainly because they felt it was pointless to say anything to his utterly self-aware and overconfident nature.
Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko came specifically to see what was going on after Natsuyuki Jie told them about Oriyuki Karin. After so many years, they had assumed that children's time travel was mostly just a coincidence, but another one had appeared, which naturally piqued their curiosity. Especially since this time it was Fushiguro Megumi, whom the three of them had practically watched grow up.
Seeing that three people had arrived and could help watch the child, Fukushiro wanted to go out for a stroll. But Shiki Karin wasn't about to let him go, and immediately grabbed his leg, showing an attitude of "wherever Daddy goes, I go."
Fuheshen looked at the pendant hanging on his lap, and finally sat back down on the sofa with a look of annoyance.
Both Gojo Satoru and Natsuyuki have dealt with Fushiguro Jinji many times. The former is Fushiguro Jinji's current source of orders, while the latter occasionally spends money to spar with Fushiguro Jinji and learn physical techniques from him.
They were all familiar with Fuheshen's personality, so they were all somewhat surprised at this moment.
Gojo Satoru went even further, saying, "So you used to fall for this?"
Fuheishen: "..."
He ignored Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru glanced at Oriyuki Karin, stroking his chin: "So this is where Megumi lost back then..."
Xia Youjie: "..."
No, he felt that Hui lost because she looked too much like Fuheshen.
Looking at Karin Iori, Iori couldn't help but think of little Megumi Fushiguro from back then.
"Speaking of which, wasn't he about this age when we first met Huijun?"
Xia Youjie remembered and nodded: "Yes."
Gojo Satoru, ever the opportunist, brought up the very thing he didn't want to discuss: "Why does she look nothing like you or Megumi?"
Xia Youjie was about to say that Zhi Xueya Karin looked like Fushiguro Megumi's mother, but Wujiao Wu blurted out the next sentence: "Could it be that Megumi was cheated on?"
The usually lazy and listless Fukuro Jinji suddenly opened his eyes and stared directly at Gojo Satoru, looking somewhat dangerous.
Xia Youjie, Jiarujiazi: "."
The two of them tacitly stood a step away from Gojo Satoru.

Author's Note: Daddy: Say that again?
Ugh... I feel like my perfect update schedule has been blocked these past two days, even though I spend most of my waking hours writing.
No, I need to think of something tomorrow.
