Chapter 33, Chapter 14: Mom, always be happy!
Fushiguro looked warily at the strange man in front of him who had inexplicably come to his doorstep and asked him to call him "Dad".
Gojo Satoru briefly explained the current situation to him: "That muscular man, more muscular than a bodybuilder, with a scar on his lip, is your dad, right? Fushiguro... that's his name, isn't it?"
Fushiguro Megumi didn't really remember what the man looked like, because he rarely came back.
But it seemed to match the characteristics described by the strange man in front of him, so he nodded.
Gojo Satoru made a snap decision: "So, your dad sold you to me, so from today onwards you are my son. Quick, call me Dad."
Fushiguro Megumi: "..."
Sell him out... If it were that person, it wouldn't be surprising if they did something like that. But... this person in front of me is really strange.
Those who understood Fushiguro Megumi's disdainful expression, including Oriyuki Ayaka and Karin, were secretly laughing behind her back.
In the end, Gojo Satoru failed to get Fushiguro Megumi to call him "Dad." They went into Fushiguro Megumi's house and met the person Fushiguro Megumi should now call "Mom."
At first, Ayaka was stunned, then she realized that in the story, after Fukushige died, the other person hadn't received the living expenses sent home for a long time, and that's why he ran away. Now that Fukushige is still alive and well, and the other person can still make a living here, then he's naturally still around.
The group told the woman what had happened. When she heard that it was Fushiguro Jinji who had sold the person out and handed her over, she even wanted them to take Fushiguro Miki with them, or better yet, buy her.
This attitude made Gojo Satoru and the other two feel somewhat displeased.
Gojo Satoru wasn't particularly interested in Fushiguro Miki, but since he figured he'd raise one child or two anyway, he took the plunge.
He also asked Karin Oori, "Did I also adopt two children from your side?"
Karin Oriyuki shook her head, saying, "I don't know, I've never heard of it. I only know about Senior Megumi."
Gojo Satoru stroked his chin thoughtfully, and Natsumi Yujie spoke up: "Perhaps it's a difference between two worlds. Maybe you didn't adopt Kei-kun in this way."
Oriyuki Karin, however, stated directly, "They might also be dead."
The group: "..."
She's here again, and she's brought her death list with her!
Although Karin Ooyuki only said "possibly" this time, given her previous record of defeating Lei Lei, Gojo Satoru and the others felt... that the possibility was actually quite high.
Gojo Satoru decided to get some passively triggered cursed items for Fushiguro Miki to use for self-defense after he returned.
However, if the cause of death was a car accident or a sudden illness, then there's nothing he can do.
Although Gojo Satoru really wanted to follow Natsuyu Suguru and Ieiri Shoko's example and take the kids to the vocational high school for a visit, unfortunately, it wasn't holiday time yet, and the two little Fushiguro kids still needed to go to school. Besides, unlike Oriyuki Ayaka and Karin, they wouldn't be going back after a while, so living at the vocational high school wasn't a good idea.
In the end, Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Miki stayed at their original home, but Gojo Satoru found someone else to take care of them.
Because he didn't want to end up with two little oranges, he didn't hire anyone from the Gojo family, but rather a regular housekeeper.
After settling the matter, he left his two children a large sum of money and his contact information, then returned to the vocational college with Xia Youjie and the others. His hands-off approach to fatherhood left Xia Youjie and Ieyasu Shoko in awe.
Ieiri Shoko originally thought that compared to Natsumi Yuki, she had raised her child quite casually.
She completely neglected her child's education, didn't consider any nutritional imbalances, and even expected the child to help with her work, while the child constantly showed her care and concern...
However, compared to Gojo Satoru now, Ieiri Shoko suddenly feels that she is still a more competent head of the household.
Perhaps reflecting on her actions and realizing she had been too casual in her role as a mother, Ieiri Shoko suddenly approached Oriyuki Karin one day, deciding to take on some of her responsibilities as a mother.
At that time, Yuki Ayaka was wondering when she could go back. The Star Essence incident had already ended, and it should have been over by now.
"What's wrong?" Shoko Ieiri walked over and patted her head.
Okiyuki Karin snapped out of her reverie and replied, "It's nothing, I just want to go back."
Well, Ieiri Glass really can't help solve this problem.
Karin Origami asked her in return, "Is there something you need, Mother?"
“No,” Ieiri Shoko sat down beside her, “I just wanted to ask Hishiri a question.”
"Um?"
"Is there anything Hishi would like to receive?" she asked, sounding like a mother planning to buy a small gift for her child.
Karin was puzzled by her question, wondering why Shoko Ieiri would suddenly ask such a question.
Seeing her confusion, Ieiri Shoko smiled and explained, "Isn't it rare for Hiri to come here from the future like this? So I wanted to give Hiri a gift to keep as a souvenir. If there's nothing in particular you want, I can take you to wherever you like."
This can be considered a way of thanking the child for taking such good care of her during this time. Ieiri Shoko never imagined that there would be someone who would follow her around all day long and put her first in everything.
Given Natsuyuki Karin's precedent, Ieiri Shoko knew that Oriyuki Karin probably wouldn't stay here indefinitely. She'd already been here for quite a while, and didn't know when she'd go back, so she wanted to at least give the child a gift or take her out for some fun before then.
Karin blinked. The question was so sudden; she really didn't have anything to say... Wait, she did.
Her ears suddenly turned red, and then, embarrassed, she didn't dare to look into Ieiri Shoko's eyes, and whispered, "Then... Mom, can I kiss you?"
"Huh?" Ieiri Shoko was also taken aback, and couldn't help but find it amusing to see the child's shy expression.
"Sure." She reached out and lifted a strand of hair on one side, then gently kissed Karin Oriyuki's cheek.
Karin Oriyuki: Waaaaah, I can die without regrets...
Just as Karin was experiencing a mental explosion of joy, feeling like she was on cloud nine, she heard Shoko Ieiri's slightly surprised voice: "Hiri?"
Oriyuki Karin: What's wrong?
She blushed and looked at Ieiri Shoko, only to see the surprise on her face.
Ieiri Shoko pointed to Oriyuki Karin's hand: "Your hand..."
What happened to my hand?
As Yuki Ayaka looked down, she saw her hands gradually becoming transparent.
Ah... that familiar feeling.
She looked up and smiled sweetly at Ieiri Shoko: "I'm going back now, Mom."
This was so sudden that it caught Iori Shoko off guard, but after a moment's pause, she still smiled slightly and said, "Have a safe journey."
“Yes,” Karin Oriyuki nodded emphatically, “Mom, you must always be happy.”
With just a simple sentence, Ieiri Shoko inexplicably felt tears welling up in her eyes, even though she wasn't the kind of person who would be easily swayed by emotions.
“Okay, you too,” she said.
Then, the child's figure gradually disappeared from the spot.
Shoko Ieiri sat there in a daze for a while before finally saying to the empty room, "You left so suddenly. It feels strange."
Although she used to be the only one here, now it's just been restored to its original state.
"Hey! Shoko, Hiri!" Gojo Satoru suddenly came running in from the doorway, all flustered. "We have a new mission again, this time it's over at Mount Fuji. Want to come and have some fun?"
He looked around and, not seeing Oriyuki Karin, asked, "Where's Hiri?"
"I'm going back."
"He went back?" Gojo Satoru asked in confusion. "I just came from the dorm and didn't see him."
He then turned to Xia Youjie, who was walking slowly behind him, and asked, "Hey, Jie, did you see Xiao Feili just now?"
Xia Youjie: "No, isn't he here with Glass?"
"Shoko said he went back."
Shoko Ieiri explained helplessly, "I meant he traveled back in time."
"Ah." Gojo Satoru blinked. "So, are you coming with us?"
Shoko Ieiri yawned: "I didn't sleep well last night. You guys go ahead, I want to go back and take a nap."
"You'll fall asleep on the way~ Jay and I can lean on you, let's go, let's go—"
──
After returning from the Cursed World, Karin Orihime immediately went to find Ruyi Fuwa, determined to cling to the powerful woman's coattails: "Ruyi-nee! Please teach me how to act!"
Fuwa Ryuu: "..."
"Okay, sure."
Karin Origami assured her firmly, "Ryuu-nee! Don't worry, I'll definitely study hard! Please say yes!!!"
Fuwa Ryuu: "..."
She didn't say no, did she?
never mind……
Fuwa Rui didn't press Oriyuki Karin for an explanation; her personality was such that she didn't bother thinking too much. However, seeing that Rui hadn't asked anything, Oriyuki Karin couldn't help but ask her, "Rui-neechan, aren't you going to ask me why?"
Fuwa Ryuu gave a perfunctory reply: "What's the reason?"
"Let me tell you..." Karin Ooyuki lowered her voice, looked around warily, and then whispered, "I wore it again."
After saying that, she immediately pouted: "Oh my god! I'm just an ordinary fanfiction writer, why did I have to be the one to time travel?! If anyone should be time traveled, it should be a cosplayer, like you, Liuyi-nee."
Fuwa Ryuu: "..."
Thanks for the invitation, I've already done it.
Once she started talking, Karin Ooyuki couldn't help but vent her frustrations to Ryuu Fuwa.
"Transmigrating is one thing, but they didn't even give me a full set of cheat codes. In a high-risk world like Jujutsu Kaisen, I'm just a weakling with no strength. I feel like every named character in there could beat me up a hundred times over! What if I accidentally get stuck there?"
"I have to learn to fight myself, and that bastard Gojo Satoru even laughed at me for being bad. What kind of people are they! When I was watching the anime, I thought he was so handsome and cute, but when I actually met him in person, I realized just how damn annoying he is! You have no idea how much of a jerk this guy can be!"
Fuwa Ryuu, who was eating a can of peaches, paused for a moment before revealing her true thoughts: "I know, he really is annoying."
Karin Oriyuki said indignantly, "No, you don't know! This guy is just unbelievable!"
Fuwa Ryuu: "..."
Okay, she doesn't know.
She continued eating the canned food with her head down.
Karin Origami complained about Gojo Satoru, then about Natsume Yuuki, and finally circled back to the topic of time travel itself: "I don't know what they were thinking, always sending me to the same world. I feel like I'm going to be exposed if I keep doing this! Waaaaah... Rui-nee, please save me..."
Seeing that she had finally finished speaking, Fuwa Ryui put a piece of fruit to her lips.
Zhi Xueya Huali took a big gulp.
Fuwa Ryuu: Cute.
No wonder they were fooled by those two scumbags.
"What do you want to act in?" she asked Karin Oori.
Karin Oriyuki: "I don't know, what kind of character is easy to play?"
This question really stumped Fuwa Ryui. To be honest, she thought both roles were quite easy to act.
To change the question: "What kind of role do you want to play?"
Zhi Xueya blurted out: "A cold, rebellious, disobedient, feudal and traditional little orange!"
Fuwa Ryuu: "..."
Such a well-designed persona.
She decided to first assess the quality of Yuki Akarin's performance: "Try acting it out yourself first."
Then I tried making Shikia Karin.
Then Fuwa Ryuu fell silent.
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
"Alright, Sister Liuyi, you don't need to say anything more. I roughly know my level now."
Fuwa Ryuu still offered some encouragement: "She has a lot of potential."
Karin was deeply moved: "Ryuu-nee, if you don't know how to comfort someone, you don't have to."
Fuwa Ryuu: ": "
Okay.
She concluded by offering her professional advice: "Try playing characters whose personalities are similar to your own first."
