At ten o'clock in the morning, Al and Xia Yujie returned to school on time.

The purple-haired hero strode into the school with an elegant posture and a calm expression. However, Geto Suguru standing next to him had a haggard look on his face, as if he was tired and doubting life.

"Jack."

Xia Yujie came to his senses: "Huh?"

Berserker said gently, "Keep your head up and your chest high, and don't look sad."

Xia Yujie: “…”

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Berserker turned around, walked over and personally corrected his posture. Berserker said in a loving tone: "You need to keep your back straight. You are at a stage of growth at this age. If you become hunched over now, it will be hard to change it."

Xia Yujie: “…”

He was not hunchbacked, he was just physically and mentally exhausted after suffering a huge change.

With a numb face, he followed Berserker, who had switched his personality again and again, into the school gate. He only heard Berserker exclaim in disbelief: "Such a -- such a run-down school, can it really take good care of my children?"

Children...

The corners of Xia Yujie's mouth twitched uncontrollably. While he was guessing who these "children" were, he said speechlessly, "You've lived here for so long, and now you think the school is shabby?"

Berserker automatically ignored his complaints. The Heroic Spirit walked around the school for a while with a puzzled look on his face, and then said solemnly, "This school is filled with the smell of poor and corrupt old men."

“…”

A corrupt old man?

Of course there are no corrupt old men here, as all the corrupt old men are in Kyoto School. But if we have to talk about old men, only the current principal, who is elderly, is more suitable.

"Berserker!" Xia Yujie said in surprise: "Where are you going?!"

The purple-haired Berserker turned around and grabbed Geto's arm, like a mother dragging her disobedient son out for a stroll: "Geto, come with mom. We need to find the source of the rot first and throw it away. It's polluting the air too much and will seriously harm your physical and mental health."

"Hey, you're not going to throw the principal out of school, are you?!"

Berserker turned a deaf ear and said, "Where is it? How strange! Is it the whole school that has a problem—"

"Hey! Have a two-way conversation with me!"

"Jay."

Ye Ying Zheng Dao opened the window of the office and asked in confusion, "Why are you back so early... Who is this?"

Long purple hair, purple tights, androgynous face, wearing the kind of ancient arm armor that only appears in TV dramas, and even equipped with a very handsome sword... Which stage play did this actor come out without removing his makeup?

Berserker was stunned for a moment, then walked forward enthusiastically, grasped Yega Zhengdao's hand, and said softly, "Hello, teacher. I'm sorry that I came to visit you just now. I'm Jie's mother. Thank you very much for taking care of Jie this year."

Xia Yujie: “…”

Ye Mo Zheng Dao was stunned.

He had met Geto's parents before, and his impression of them was that they were two ordinary people who were a little old-fashioned. However, because Al's attitude was too righteous, he subconsciously believed that the strange person in front of him was Geto's... uh, mother?

Ye Mo Zheng Dao said dryly: "You are too kind. It is a teacher's responsibility to take care of students. Besides, Jie has always performed very well..."

Xia Yujie covered his face in pain.

Yega Masamichi looked at Kagome Jie in confusion after his strong reaction, and swallowed the rest of his polite words.

Is it his illusion? He always feels that something is not right.

Berserker ignored the strange atmosphere around him and said to himself, "You are a tolerant and kind teacher. With a reliable teacher like you around, I can rest assured as a mother. Oh, what was I trying to do just now?"

Xia Yujie quickly grabbed him and said, "Berserker, we are going back to the dormitory to find Wu. Did you forget?"

Berserker tilted his head in confusion. "Is that so?"

He was about to recall it carefully, but was pulled away by Xia Yujie without any explanation.

"Slow down, Jake!"

Ye Mo Zheng Dao watched the two figures tug at each other as they walked towards the dormitory, and muttered thoughtfully, "Berserker...?"

Suguru pulled Berserker and quickly walked to the school dormitory. He was afraid that Berserker would use the excuse of "dealing with the source of rotten items" to assassinate the principal, so he used the dormitory to change the subject and said, "Berserker, do you still remember this place? This is our dormitory. You should remember your own room, right?"

"Ahh, it smells like children."

"……ha?"

Berserker walked in enthusiastically and said in an excited tone, "What a warm smell of mother-child love! This is my home with my children, right? Yes, it should be, probably, it is indeed like this! Ah la la, let mommy see which lazy kid hasn't gotten up yet!"

Kagome watched with envy as the Heroic Spirit turned left smoothly and directly opened the door of Gojo Satoru's room.

The heroic spirit walked in familiarly and pulled open the curtains of Gojo Satoru's room. Large patches of sunlight poured in, instantly illuminating the dim room.

"Mmmmm, great sunshine!"

The Heroic Spirit opened the window to let in some fresh air, and then Berserker, without hesitation, pulled back Gojo Satoru's blanket!

"Good morning, Go-chan, it's time to get up, good boy!"

Gojo Satoru had already noticed when they opened the door and walked in. He opened his eyes impatiently and said, "What are you doing..."

When he opened his eyes, he saw a stranger standing in front of the bed with a smile on his face. Gojo Satoru was stunned and looked a little confused.

“…”

He looked at the Berserker in front of him, then looked at the numb-faced Kagome Kei outside the door, and then looked at the Berserker in front of him again.

After repeating this several times, Gojo Satoru asked in surprise, "Al?"

Berserker grabbed Gojo Satoru's face, pressed it into his chest, and gave him a warm hug: "Good boy, the sun is shining on your butt, hurry up and get up. Really, look at all the stuff on the floor, you stayed up late playing games again yesterday, didn't you?"

“Ugh, ummm, ummm!” Gojo Satoru quickly struggled out of his arms and turned to Geto in amazement: “What’s wrong with him?!”

This “again” is really intriguing.

Xia Yujie raised his mouth tiredly: "Great, you feel it too."

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Gojo Satoru showed concern and asked, "Are you okay, Jie?"

Xia Yujie gave him a broken smile.

Gojo Satoru: “…”

No, it's definitely not nothing. It's just that I was ravaged by Al's schizophrenia!

On the other side, Al let go of Gojo Satoru and cleaned up the messy house on his own. He also took out a vacuum cleaner from the cupboard to clean the floor.

Amid the buzzing noise, the two male high school students stared in amazement at Al, who had changed his personality again and cleaned Gojo Satoru's room himself.

Gojo Satoru was puzzled: "Why? Didn't you just go back home?"

Xia Yujie sighed: "I roughly know why, but..."

He thought about this problem all the way, and no matter how he thought about it, the problem should be caused by the conversation last night.

Think about it, they just agreed to be each other's family last night, and when he woke up the next day he had an extra mother. It's really hard not to associate the two together.

He rubbed his brow and said tiredly: "It's a long story, I don't want to talk about it."

Gojo Satoru said sharply, "Hey, Jay, it can't be that the Al family found out that you really lack maternal love, so they want to be your mother themselves, right?"

"...Want to fight?"

"It's so early in the morning, can't you be a little quiet?"

Still in her pajamas, Jia Ru Nishiko came out clacking her slippers and said unhappily, "It's only 9:30. Don't you know that the morning on weekends starts in the afternoon? It's still late at night."

"…Glass, good morning."

"Hey, glass!"

Ieiri Naoko held out her hand to Kagome Takeru: "You're back. Where's my cigarette?"

“…I bought it, but…”

The noise of the vacuum cleaner suddenly stopped, and Xia Yujie's body immediately froze.

"?"

Just as Ieiri Naoko was feeling confused, a guy with long purple hair walked out from behind Geto Suguru and hugged Ieiri Naoko without saying a word.

"!!!"

In this sudden warm embrace, Ieiri Naoko immediately woke up.

"Glass-chan!" The hero's face showed an extremely exaggerated loving expression: "Good morning, my dear daughter. But you can't ask J-chan for cigarettes. Minors are not allowed to smoke. It will turn your teeth yellow."

"……ha?"

Ieichiro Naoko struggled to get out of his arms and said in disbelief, "You, you are, Al?!"

Berserker shook his head helplessly and said earnestly, "It's Mom, Mom-Mom-!"

Ieiri Naoko: “…”

How come Al has become even crazier after just one night's absence?

She turned to look at Geto, but saw that he had a look of despair and a tired look as if he was going to perish along with the world. She was silent for a while and suggested, "Well... since we're all up, why don't we go to the cafeteria to have a meal together?"

It was early in the morning and they couldn't digest this overly magical display, so they decided to go somewhere else to eat something.

Tokyo Jujutsu High School is one of the hubs of the Japanese sorcery world. In addition to students, there are also many sorcerers who come to the high school for work in the cafeteria. Fortunately, there are no other sorcerers in the cafeteria today.

When Gojo Satoru sat down with a plate of red bean pies, Berserker said with embarrassment, "Satoru-chan, you can't eat so many sweets."

"…I've always eaten like this, and don't you usually eat even more extravagantly than me?"

Berserker said worriedly, "How can you do this? You are still growing up, how can you just eat these things? You will suffer from malnutrition."

Unable to bear it any longer, Ieiri Naoko complained, "He's already 1.9 meters tall, and you still want him to grow taller?"

Berserker turned a deaf ear to her. He leaned forward and pried open Gojo Satoru's mouth without saying anything. He said with a worried look on his face, "Come on, Goku-chan, let Mommy see your teeth."

"Hey, hey—help, Jay!"

Xia Yujie shook his head tiredly and buried his head in eating his breakfast.

—Come on, Satoru, hold on a little longer and don’t let Berserker turn his attention back to me.

God knows what he went through this morning!!!

Ieiri Shoko smiled saccharinely and also chose not to help.

Anyway, by the time the armyworm realized that the so-called "Mother Summer Oil" was actually Al, Al had already compiled a "health code" for his three children.

The purple-haired hero wrote down the "Health Rules" in beautiful calligraphy, earnestly admonishing: "No smoking or drinking, no hunching, no staying up late playing games, and no eating too much dessert, but you are allowed to have strange bangs."

"Thank you, you succeeded in humiliating me, Berserker," said Xia Yujie tiredly.

Ieiri Nishiko patted his shoulder perfunctorily to show his comfort.

Gojo Satoru raised his hand: "Hey, Berserker, I have a question. How long will your personality last this time?"

Berserker ignored his question with a natural look on his face: "From now on, I will lock the cabinet where cigarettes are stored and the freezer where desserts are stored. I will keep the keys. Speaking of which, winter is coming soon. Shouldn't you buy some winter clothes?"

"...Hey, communicate with me!"

"Yes, Mom will weave a scarf for each of you."

Gojo Satoru pointed at Berserker and turned to ask his other two teammates: "Is this considered ineffective communication between parents and children?"

Xia Yujie nodded: "Okay."

Jiajiazi also nodded: "Forget it."

Berserker was still worrying about it. "That being said, as a blood-crazed demon, knitting scarves is not my strong point... How can I make up for this shortcoming?"

"As for knitting..." Ieiri Naoko said calmly, "Maybe you can ask Mr. Yemo for advice."

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Xia Yujie: “…”

What a good way to divert trouble!

"Yes, that's right." Xia Yujie coughed lightly, and contrary to his previous negative attitude, he said positively: "Our teacher Yega is the number one puppeteer in the world of sorcery, and his ability to weave things is definitely the best!"

Berserker seemed a little moved.

Xia Yujie continued: "That's right, Berserker, learning new things will not produce results overnight. If we really want to learn, we should start learning as early as possible. I think today is a good day."

"But..." Berserker hesitated, "Is it too late to start from scratch?"

Gojo Satoru said seriously, "Berserker, as the saying goes, the time when you think it's too late is actually the earliest time. Do you know where the moth's office is? No, I will take you there myself."

"Oh, now?"

"Right now, come on, Al, I'll take you there."

Berserker quickly stopped Gojo Satoru and said, "No, wait, Go-chan, you guys stay here and write the apology letter you owe to Mr. Yemo first. Mom will be back to check it out in a while."

Three high school students: "..."

My goodness, now that you have changed your personality and become a parent, you don’t have to write your own letter of apology, right?

Finally, Berserker left alone with an expectant look on his face.

After he left, the three high school students who had been tormented for the whole morning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ieiri Naoko wondered, "What's going on with Al? Isn't this personality very different from the previous Great Swordsman of the Universe?"

For the Nth time, Xia Yujie opened the panel that only the Lord of the Rings could see, and repeatedly confirmed: "I am sure that he is Al. Their physical data is exactly the same, and the Command Spells have not changed at all."

Gojo Satoru also said: "The information from Rokugan is the same. But why did that guy call himself a mother?"

Xia Yujie's eyes wandered: "Ah, that... a schizophrenic patient has a female personality. This shouldn't be too strange, right?"

Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko narrowed their eyes suspiciously.

"... Anyway, just hold on for a few days. After all, he has good intentions in developing this personality."

Xia Yujie sighed helplessly.

"His previous nurse personality and...Lancelot personality didn't last long. It won't be long before he turns back to normal Al."

Ieiri Naoko complained: "Are your standards for 'normal' becoming increasingly bizarre?"

Xia Yujie smiled tiredly: "Hahahahahahaha...indeed."

However, contrary to the high school students' expectations, this strange mother's personality remained very stable in the following week, without any signs of low energy.

During this period, Ieiri Naoko was forced to quit smoking, Gojo Satoru was forced to cut down on his sweets intake by half, and Yaga Masamichi... was forced to live a teaching life with his parents sitting in on the class every day.

Berserker, who was able to keep her power consumption to a minimum as long as she wasn't fighting, happily served as a mother for more than ten days. The high school students didn't wait for the blond-haired, blue-eyed Al to return, but instead got used to Berserker's new personality, who always called herself "Mom".

On this day, when Berserker was teaching the "children" Kyudo in the school's dojo, Gojo Satoru suddenly raised his head as if realizing something: "It's snowing."

Everyone in the dojo stopped what they were doing and turned around to see snowflakes falling outside the window.

"Oh my." Berserker said happily, "It's the first snow of this year."

They walked out of the dojo and looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky. Al stretched out a hand, and a snowflake fell on his fingertips and quickly melted into water.

Kagome asked him, "Does Berserker like snow too?"

Berserker said softly, "The first snowfall we enjoy with our children is always the most memorable."

Xia Yujie laughed: "Here it comes again..."

They were almost completely accustomed to Berserker's motherly love from time to time. Ieiri Shoko asked casually, "Berserker, do you like children?"

Berserker tilted his head.

After a while, he said with a gentle expression, "Well, that's it. I love you as if you were my own children, so children, you must not betray your mother."

Gojo Satoru muttered, "Who would betray you for no reason... Come to think of it, do you have your own wishes now?"

Different from the previous three personalities, this is the wish that belongs only to the current "Berserker".

Berserker said with a loving look, "No, Go-chan, it's really cunning of you to try to chat with your mother just to avoid Kyudo class."

Gojo Satoru: “…”

was discovered.

Xia Yujie laughed out loud.

"Just chatting, Berserker. Didn't you say today is a memorable day? This is our first snow."

"...That's right." Berserker said slowly, "I don't really like fighting because it's not fun at all. I have no choice but to teach you the techniques of fighting."

High school students: “…”

Kendo, Kyudo, and even spears and axes from the technical high school armory. They tried all kinds of cursed tools. I can honestly say that this family was very determined to "educate their children" and they really benefited a lot from it.

Think about the lazy otaku swordsman, and then look at this "mom" who drags them to the dojo for parent-child interaction whenever she has free time. I can only say that her split personality is really strong!

"So, I prefer chatting with children to fighting." Berserker's tone changed, and he said with a sad heart: "But - but - my children, my children are always unwilling to communicate with me properly!!!"

Xia Yujie complained: "...It's you who doesn't want to communicate with us properly, and you can be really scary sometimes."

Especially when he would rush up to hug them at any time, mess up someone's freshly combed hair, press someone's head into his chest, and use very bizarre logic to educate them like a mother. Anyone would be scared and run away, right?

Ieiri Naoko hit the nail on the head: "That's not even chatting."

Berserker looked a little aggrieved: "Oh, is this what rebellious kids are like? They don't understand their mothers at all..."

Xia Yujie sighed: "It's really - it doesn't make sense at all."

Ieiri Naoko nodded.

Gojo Satoru thought about it, and suddenly asked tentatively: "By the way, Berserker, do you know what your name is now?"

"Me?" Berserker said in surprise, "I thought we already knew each other. How strange. I am Minamoto no Raikou, an immature general, and Saber... Oh, that's strange. Am I Saber?"

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Xia Yujie: “…”

Ieiri Naoko: “…”

Source Lai Guang? ?

Source? Lai? Light?!

Is it really Minamoto Raikou? Did they hear it right?!

Xia Yujie held his forehead with his hand and said with a sad face: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken him to watch those stage play videos."

"…It's none of your business, Geto. Al is always surfing the Internet so diligently, you can't stop him from receiving new information." Ieiri Naoko said with a strange expression: "What I find strange is why Minamoto no Raikou calls himself a mother?"

She and Geto looked at each other in bewilderment. After a while, Geto said, "Well, maybe she wanted to be both Minamoto no Raikou and my mother, and ended up with this combination?"

“…That makes sense.”

Berserker asked in confusion, "Hey, kids, what's with that look on your face? Did I say something weird?"

The high school students shook their heads vigorously, indicating that this was not the case at all.

——Never get entangled in strange things, because they will be the losers in the end!

Just at this moment, the moth walked over.

He first strode towards the dojo, then stopped ten meters away in awe after seeing Berserker.

The four of them looked at Yemo Zhengdao at the same time, and Berserker asked gently, "What's the matter, Yemo teacher?"

His tone was as if he were a parent entertaining his class teacher at home.

"..." Yegae Zhengdao said with a wooden face: "A new mission."

In the dojo.

Ye Mo Zheng Dao spread the mission information on the ground.

Berserker personally poured him a cup of tea, "Come on, teacher."

Ye Mo Zheng Dao took the cup of tea with a strange expression and got straight to the point: "There is a hot spring villa. That place has a very special spiritual magnetic field. The souls that died but did not enter reincarnation will automatically gather there. For so many years, the psychic A Yan has been in charge of helping those dead souls to be reborn."

"..." The students showed an expression of disbelief: "Ayan?"

Ye Mo Zheng Dao had long anticipated their reaction.

"You must have all heard of the medium Ayan. She is one of the only two first-class mediums left in Japan. Although her combat ability is not high, her knowledge of the soul is unmatched. Over the years, she has been responsible for saving the souls of the dead whose wishes have not been fulfilled. Due to the special working environment, she rarely communicates with the outside world and has almost no contact with the world of curses. But I heard that... a cursed spirit will be born in that place."

Xia Yujie asked: "What do you mean?"

Yega Zhengdao said succinctly: "The souls that stay there for a short time will be made into cursed spirits by Oyan."

Students: “!!!”

Gojo Satoru asked sharply, "Yemo, who provided this information?"

Ye Moth Zheng Dao took out a letter and handed it to Gojo Satoru, "Take a look at this."

Gojo Satoru opened the letter and read:

"The souls that are stranded in the Xianwang Hot Spring Villa are about to be made into cursed spirits and stay in the world forever. Please stop the boss lady."

There was no signature on it, but the address was definitely Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

Xia Yujie understood what Ye Mo Zheng Dao meant: "Then what the teacher meant is..."

"You go there in person."

really.

"You guys just pretend to be guests going on vacation to the hot spring resort and investigate the resort. If the situation is true, you must stop the birth of the cursed spirit by any means necessary. If it is a false thing, you guys just pretend you are on vacation there."

Ieiri Naoko asked expectantly, "Can I go too?"

"Yes, sure."

"So when do we set out?"

Ye Mo Zheng Dao thought: "The place is a bit far away. If we set out now, we should be able to reach the villa before dark. My suggestion is - the sooner the better."

Berserker, who was sitting quietly at the side, spoke in a dignified manner: "Teacher Yemoth."

Ye Mo Zheng Dao was shocked, "Yes, you said."

Three students: "..."

Didn't he just go to your place to learn how to knit a scarf for a few days? Are you really that scared, teacher?

Berserker asked sincerely, "Can I go with the children?"

Ye Moth said: "I..."

Berserker interrupted, "The children are still young, and I don't feel comfortable letting them go far away by themselves. I always have to be with them to feel at ease."

Ye Moth said: "I..."

Berserker interrupted again, "Of course, I won't affect their mission, nor will I let them miss their studies. I will watch over them for you during this time."

Ye Moth said: "I..."

"You still don't agree?"

"I mean, I agree." Ye Moth said tiredly, "Please go with them. If it's convenient, it's okay to stay there for ten days or half a month."
