The huge Pikachu hunting team finally blocked the cursed spirit in the woods. Al came back holding the cursed spirit's ear and handed the Pikachu-shaped cursed spirit to Kagome.

Xia Yujie took Pikachu, skillfully extracted its spiritual core, rolled the translucent curse spirit into a curse spirit ball, and put it into his pocket carefully and with satisfaction.

"Let's go."

It rarely swallows cursed spirits in front of others. Most of the time, it packs them up and takes them back to the dormitory to digest. Of course, it will definitely eat the cursed chocolate on the spot, because - chocolate will melt.

Well, at least that's the apparent reason.

When several people returned to the room, they finally heard voices coming from Sakata Ginpachi's room. It was obvious that Sakata Ginpachi's companions had woken up.

Al looked at the time. After a night of hard work, it was already close to five in the morning. He said gently, "Let's get some sleep. We'll pack up and go back to school later."

The children nodded tiredly, and Huihara Yu also said goodbye and left. Ieiri Shoko and Gojo Satoru simply washed up and lay down in the quilt.

However, Xia Yujie took a long time to come out of the bathroom.

Al was a little worried, so he quietly transformed into a spirit and went into the bathroom, intending to just take a look and come out. He was mainly worried that the child was too tired and would fall asleep in the bathroom.

When he entered, he saw Geto standing in front of the sink with an expressionless face.

He had obviously washed, his half-long hair was loose and his face was still wet, and on the sink was the Pikachu Curse Ball.

The Curse Ball was not as round as it was when it was just rolled. It looked a bit scattered. Al had no doubt that if the Curse Ball was left for a few more hours, it would probably turn back into the original appearance of Pikachu's Curse Ball.

Xia Yujie hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, picked up the curse ball, and stuffed it into his throat.

Let’s make it quick and decisive!

Because the curse ball was too big, the throat instinctively rejected the entry of foreign objects, so Xia Yujie used his fingers to force the curse ball into his throat while gagging. In the process of "fighting" with the curse ball, he accidentally knocked over Jia Ru Nitro's facial cleanser to the ground, making a loud noise.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

The unexpected movement scared Geto. Seeing that Geto was so panicked that he was about to spit out the cursed spirit ball, Al immediately controlled the spirit particles to condense into a human form and helped him lock the bathroom door - of course no one would break in, he locked the door just to make Geto feel more at ease.

This kid... obviously doesn't want to be seen swallowing the cursed spirit.

Al held Xia Youjie's shoulders and patted his back. Xia Youjie swallowed the curse ball, lay on the sink and vomited for a while, and finally calmed down.

After a while, Xia Youjie whispered, "I'm sorry."

Al sighed and rubbed his back. "It's okay, Jake."

Xia Yujie laughed and said in a relaxed tone: "This cursed spirit really has the ability to possess others. Alas, it is only level two. I have decided to call it Pikachu."

Al responded and rubbed his head. "Yeah. It's late. Go to bed early. You have to go back to school when you wake up."

"……good."

Al picked up the facial cleanser from Jia Ru Nitro and put it back where it was, and transformed into a spirit on the spot.

He left the bathroom and saw that Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Naoko, who had been lying down before, were sitting up. They were staring at the bathroom door motionlessly, like two alert cats, but they did not rush over to alarm Kagome Jie.

Al showed up and whispered, "Don't look at him. He's coming out."

Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Nozomi turned over, lay down, pulled up the quilt, and began to pretend to sleep in unison.

Ten seconds later, Xia Yujie opened the door and walked out. Seeing that both classmates were asleep, he also lay down in his own quilt.

"Good night, Al."

"Good night, children."

A dreamless night.

They slept until noon.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, a translucent Pikachu was running around in the room, making a cute "Pika Pika" sound effect. The low-level cursed spirits were diligently folding the quilts and sweeping the tatami floor.

Ieiri Naoko was washing her face in the bathroom, while Gojo Satoru and Kayu Takeshi were holding toothbrushes and discussing the translucent corpse that was hanging on the beam yesterday.

Gojo Satoru said, "Come to think of it, I couldn't see it after I came back last night."

Xia Yujie said vaguely: "He became a Buddha together with other dead souls."

"In that case, I have a question." Gojo Satoru said, "Let's not talk about the one hanging in our room, but the hanged man next door is a foreigner, right? Did he also become a Buddha yesterday?"

"Ah... yeah, right?"

"So is he under the jurisdiction of the underworld in Japan, or the heaven in a foreign country?"

"...In this day and age, perhaps there is already an international underworld. After all, people nowadays like to stir up chaos all over the world, which is different from the past."

"Wow, is this true? Who is the boss of the International Underworld?"

In the bathroom, Naoko Ieiri rolled her eyes, refusing to listen to such an stupid topic that even elementary school students were too lazy to discuss.

Al opened the shoji door and said earnestly, "Wu-chan, Jie-chan, stop spraying toothpaste everywhere. Go back to the bathroom and brush your teeth!"

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru immediately fell silent. They walked quietly into the bathroom, pushed aside Naoko Ieyasu who was looking at herself in the mirror, and rinsed their mouths in the sink.

Ieiri Glass: "???"

Ieiri Naoko: "Do you believe that a nanny can hit someone with a hair dryer?"

"Glass sauce." Al said in embarrassment: "My dear daughter, you can't say such things. Have you finished washing? Huiyuan has prepared breakfast for everyone. Let's go and eat."

“…”

The tone of voice was as if she was a stupid sister who was trying to steal the spotlight from her two little brothers early in the morning. Ha, although she was indeed the oldest among the three, how stupid did a person have to be to be the sister of these two bastards?

She grabbed the wooden comb, combed her hair, and went to the hall with Al to eat. The hall, which was crowded with dead souls last night, was now empty and deserted. Huihara Yu and the proprietress tied aprons and put breakfast on the dining table.

Rice, miso soup, grilled fish, tofu and pickled radishes, a very ordinary Japanese breakfast.

However...

Huiyuan Xiong took out bread and jam, "Does anyone want to have a Western breakfast? There is milk in the refrigerator, and coffee can be made right away."

Al smiled gently and said, "No, Japanese breakfast is fine. My children prefer traditional tastes. However, strawberry jam and bread can be given to Wu as a snack, but not as a staple food."

Huiyuan Xiong asked: "Ah, do you want to pack some to take with you? You can eat on the way back. By the way, there are a lot of Japanese sweets here, I'll pack some for you too!"

...Haiyahara-kun, you are such a good boy.

Ieiri Nishiko said with emotion.

Al thanked the children on their behalf, and Haibara Yu rolled up his sleeves to pack jam for them. Ieiri Naoko sat down and asked, "Haibara-kun, aren't you going home?"

"Me? I plan to go back tomorrow night because I work here, but I don't need to come here anymore."

Ieiri Naoko was stunned, "Why?"

"Because there are fewer customers, the boss lady and her family can handle it on their own."

“…I see.”

Al was surprised: "Oh, is it because of our relationship that Huiyuan-kun lost his job?"

"Hahahaha, it's okay, it's okay." Huihara Yu said, "I've saved enough money, and it's just right for me to concentrate on the entrance exam."

"Come to think of it, how old are you this year? You should still be in junior high school."

"I'm in the third grade of junior high school! If possible, I want to study in Tokyo next year."

Tokyo...

"If you're in Tokyo, you're welcome to come visit us." The well-dressed Xia Yujie walked in and said gently, "We happen to be studying in Tokyo as well."

He changed into a black crew-neck sweater and tied up his slightly longer black hair with a rubber band. He looked nothing like the childish guy he was when he was holding a toothbrush in his mouth while discussing "International Hell".

Haibara Yu's eyes lit up, "Really? Senior Geto!"

"Really? Want to exchange phone numbers?"

"Okay, okay!"

Gojo Satoru, who was wearing a white sweater with a big cat embroidered on it, walked over yawning, picked up a piece of bread, dipped it in strawberry jam, and stuffed it into his mouth. Al said helplessly: "Go-chan, you eat something sweet for breakfast first, how come you eat the rest?"

Gojo Satoru complained as he chewed, "It's so annoying, Al."

Just as Al was about to speak, Gojo Satoru stretched out a hand to stop him and said, "I understand! 'Mom is doing this for your own good', right?"

Ieiri Shoko couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The four students from Gintama High School also walked in, rubbing their eyes. Sakata Ginpachi stretched his waist and said, "Morning—it smells so good! Is it miso soup?"

Al smiled and said, "Good morning, Mr. Sakata."

Sakata Ginpachi said: "Don't be so formal, just call me Ginpachi or Gin."

The purple-haired Heroic Spirit shook his head and said with a slightly nostalgic tone: "I like your last name very much."

Sakata Ginpachi tilted his head in confusion, "Why? Is your girlfriend's last name also Sakata?"

Al just smiled and said nothing.

Shimura Tae walked out from behind Sakata Ginpachi and said, "Everyone is here early."

Kagura said energetically: "Good morning!!!"

Shimura Shinpachi also said politely: "Good morning, I feel relieved to see everyone is so energetic."

Xia Yujie smiled and said, "Good morning."

Ieiri Naoko waved her hand lazily: "Good morning."

Amidst the series of "early, early, early", the lady boss who had been quietly cooking couldn't help but complain: "I'm talking to you guys, it's already 2:30 in the afternoon."

Everyone laughed for a while before sitting down at a table to eat. After the meal, they leisurely packed their luggage and took some dried plums that the proprietress had dried.

At the gate of Xianwang Township, the proprietress, Huiyuan Xiong and A Ling came out in person to see them off. As for the boss who turned into a cursed spirit, he is still recuperating in the backyard.

The lady boss glanced at the time on her watch and said, "Three-thirty... If we go down the mountain now, we can just catch the four o'clock bus."

The head of the family, Al, said goodbye to her politely, "Okay, we'll take our leave now. Thank you for your hospitality last night."

Lady boss: “…”

There's obviously nothing wrong with this sentence, but considering what happened yesterday, why does it sound so weird?

The lady boss said with a strange expression, "You're welcome. By the way, there is one more thing. Regarding the matter of Xianwang Township, can you please not write it in too much detail in your sorcerer's mission report?"

Al was stunned and turned back to look at Gojo Satoru and others.

Matters concerning the sorcerer were not within his control.

Gojo Satoru said, "Which part do you mean?"

"My husband used the spiritual power core of Xianwang Township to absorb living souls. Such an ability is too easy to be coveted by others. We just want to live here quietly, so we don't want Xianwang Township to receive too much attention from the outside world."

The three high school students looked at each other, and Gojo Satoru nodded slightly, so Xia Yujie said, "Okay, the spiritual power core of Senwang Township has been severely damaged, and large-scale absorption of souls is impossible to happen again. When filling out the mission report, we will consider it carefully and try not to cause trouble for Senwang Township."

The lady boss said sincerely, "Thank you."

Sakata Ginpachi said to Haibara Yu: "If you want to go to school in Tokyo, you might want to consider Gintama High School. It's the school with the most idiots in Tokyo!"

Huihara Yu smiled and waved to them.

"Okay, I'll go to Tokyo to see you guys!"

The lady boss also waved her hand and said, "Although the spiritual magnetic field of the villa has been damaged, Xianwang Township will continue to operate. When you die, remember to come to Xianwang Township for a drink!"

What a hardcore farewell, he even cursed the person to die with his eyes open!

The eight people complained and walked down the snow-covered stairs. Al looked at the harmonious atmosphere of the high school group and the Gintama high school group and said with satisfaction: "Wow, the kids have made friends outside of school, that's great."

Xia Yujie: “…”

It starts again!

Gojo Satoru said to Sakata Ginpachi, "Speaking of which, that stupid teacher, if you don't want to be a teacher one day, you can consider becoming a psychic. Psychics are still very scarce these days."

Al was stunned, and agreed, "That's right. Miss Ling said that Mr. Sakata has the most talent as a medium, and it is indeed true. Mr. Sakata was able to defeat the boss lady the first time he used his ability. He is really amazing."

"Please spare me." Sakata Ginpachi took out a cigarette-shaped lollipop from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. "I don't want to see ghosts again in my life. It's better for me to be a teacher in school than to be a medium who sees ghosts."

"That's right!" Kagura said, "How can there be a psychic with diabetes in the world?"

Al was stunned. "Diabetes?"

"Yes, Gin-chan ate too many sweets and got diabetes. The doctor warned him that he could only eat parfait once a week."

Al was shocked: "Did you hear that, Go-chan? Eating too much sweets can really make you sick!"

Gojo Satoru: “…”

All the sweets he eats are supplied to his brain, so he won’t get diabetes!

Al said worriedly, "It's better to continue to reduce the supply of sweets by half... It sounds terrible that someone gets diabetes in the first year of high school."

Gojo Satoru said in an unbearable tone: "That's enough, isn't it? If you keep doing this, I won't buy you any sweets when you turn back into the Great Swordsman of the Universe."

Al said to himself, "No, wait, it would be more practical to just get a small freezer."

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

Kagome Takeshi and Ieiri Naoko on the side shook their heads as if they were used to it. Well, as long as they were not the ones being tortured, they could still remain calm and watch the show.

With her hands in her pockets, Ieiri Naoko said lazily, "I say, do we really have to walk down the mountain and then take the bus back to Tokyo? We took the bus when we came here because we didn't know the way, but we can take the Shuriken when we go back, right?"

Xia Yujie was stunned and looked at the people from Gintama High School.

"Is this okay?"

Ieiri Shoko shrugged and said, "We've even seen each other's souls, so don't be so polite."

Xia Yujie was still a little hesitant, and Gojo Satoru turned around and said to him, "Yeah, let's just sit on the cursed spirit, Jie."

Al also said, "That's right, everyone has experienced things like leaving their bodies. No matter what happens next, we won't be surprised anymore, right?"

Sakata Ginpachi shook his head and said, "Well, I don't know what you are talking about, but - come over here, Gin, I have seen the world!"

Two minutes later, a dragon covered with hard scales flew into the sky. The Rainbow Dragon carried eight people and flew towards Tokyo at full speed.

"ah!"

"It's a dragon! A dragon!!!"

"Ghost! Wait, Gin, I'm dizzy—"

"Stupid teacher, is this what it means to be a worldly-wise person?"

The noisy figures of the young people disappeared into the sky. At the foot of the mountain in Xianwang Township, an old bus arrived at the station on time. The door opened and a man in formal clothes got out of the bus.

The man had an ordinary appearance, dressed like an office worker. He looked in the direction of Xianwang Township and muttered to himself, "The spiritual magnetic field... has been weakened to this extent."

A gust of cold wind blew over, lifting his hair in front of his forehead, revealing a faint seam line.

…

Honglong first sent the four members of Gintama High School to the apartment of Teacher Ginpachi, and then flew back to the technical high school. They stopped at the gate of the technical high school and strode into the school.

"September moth—"

"teacher--"

"We're back!"

Ye Mo Zhengdao, who was flipping through the self-review in the office, paused, opened the window, and saw that the four people who had set out for Xianwang Township yesterday had all returned.

It's only 24 hours.

He raised his eyebrows: "The incident was resolved? So quickly?"

"Solved." Gojo Wu said, "You didn't expect that there is indeed a powerful curse spirit in Xianwang Township, and it's a special grade one!"

Ye Mo Zheng Dao was startled, "Special grade?"

Xia Yujie continued, "Yes, it is a special grade. It's a pity that the cursed spirit cannot be tamed into mine this time."

He smiled, then changed the subject and boasted: "But it doesn't matter, I got other cursed spirits this time. Although their fighting power is very weak, it's Pikachu!"

Ye Moth Zhengdao: "..."

What Pikachu? The Pikachu in the cartoon? Where does the Pikachu come from in the real world?

Seeing his look of disbelief, Geto opened his arms like magic and revealed a translucent Pikachu.

Night Moth said: “!!!!”

It's a ghost!

Xia Yujie said proudly: "I plan to dye it yellow."

Ye Moth Zhengdao: "..."

Ye Moth Masamichi looked at Berserker behind the three students. The purple-haired Heroic Spirit gave him a dignified and kind parental smile, like a parent quietly watching his children fight.

“…”

He shuddered quietly and changed the subject, "Well, go to the classroom, tell me what happened, and write the mission report."

The high school students obediently moved to the classroom and told every detail of what had happened that day. When they heard about Geto Suguru and Ieiri Nozomi's souls leaving their bodies, Yaga Masamichi frowned. Later, when they heard that the special cursed spirit absorbed all the souls within a hundred miles as its own power, Yaga Masamichi's frown was big enough to pinch a fly to death.

This is definitely not a trivial matter.

Fortunately, the town near the Xianwang Township Hot Spring Villa is just a country town. Just imagine, if the incident happened in Tokyo, all the people in Tokyo would have their souls sucked away in an instant, and the entire city would stop functioning in an instant, with only corpses, corpses, and corpses on the ground.

Ye Moth Zhengdao said seriously: "This matter is of great importance and should not be kept secret."

Gojo Satoru said scornfully, "If we report the situation in Senwang Township to the higher-ups, those idiots will probably be scared out of their wits. Yemo, what do you think they will do?"

Without waiting for Ye Mo Zheng Dao to answer, Xia Yujie answered: "First, immediately send someone to kill the medium A Yan, exorcise the medium's husband, and destroy the entire Xianwang Township. From then on, those souls who died with regrets will have nowhere to go and can only dissipate in the world with hatred. Second, the upper echelons have seized the spiritual magnetic field of Xianwang Township and tried to make the power of extracting souls their own. Teacher, what good do you think they will do with this power?"

“…”

Ye Mo Zheng Dao rubbed his brows with a headache, while Jia Ru Nishiko supported his head and habitually turned on the onlooker mode.

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru were right, but the events in Senwang Township were no small matter, and his sense of responsibility prevented him from pretending that he knew nothing.

Al said calmly, "Teacher Noctua."

Ye Moth Zhengdao raised his head and looked at Al in the direction of the voice. Al said in a gentle voice: "Since this matter is not suitable to be reported to the top sorcerers, can we contact the psychics?"

“…”

Ye Moth Zheng Dao said hesitantly: "The Psychic Association was disbanded decades ago, and the Time Government, which is barely a psychic group, never interferes with the affairs of the real world."

Al said: "Then how about contacting that Higa Kotoko?"

Ye Mo Zheng Dao was stunned.

"As the strongest psychic, Kotoko Higa has been active in various supernatural events for many years. She is obviously a very responsible psychic. How about we tell her about our concerns and ask her to find a way to supervise Senwang Township?"

Kagome's eyes lit up, "Teacher, can you contact Higa Kotoko?"

After a while, Yaga Masamichi said, "This is the only way. I can't contact Higa Kotoko, but I can contact Kujuku Yuki. From what I know, they have a good personal relationship."

Kujuku Yuki is the only top-grade sorcerer in Japan. She is said to possess a very rare spell. Unfortunately, she is a woman with a wind in her blood and is destined to be a wanderer. Since the top management gave her the title of top-grade sorcerer, she has never returned to Japan and is always on the road of wandering.

The presence of this special class is so weak that it's almost non-existent.

Yaga Masamichi still seemed very worried, but he knew the nature of the higher-ups very well. After careful consideration, he decided to put the matter aside for the time being and contact Higa Kotoko instead.

The high school students stayed in the classroom and fabricated a decent mission report, and the matter of the psychic Ayan came to an end.

After winter, fewer and fewer cursed spirits come out to cause trouble. According to the high school students, the cursed spirits are now in hibernation, waiting to come out as soon as summer arrives.

Berserker's battery power also entered a countdown.

The battle with the special cursed spirit in Xianwang Township consumed a lot of Al's power. In the days that followed, Al could only use the remaining power to barely keep the "Minamoto Raikou" vest.

——Because he hadn’t finished weaving his scarf.

Since she started learning how to weave scarves, Yingling has ruined quite a few.

After class that day, Yega Masamichi suddenly asked Gojo Satoru, "Satoru, are you planning to go home on your birthday?"

The classroom was silent. The other three people turned to look at Gojo Satoru at the same time. Gojo Satoru raised his head from his crooked scribbles and frowned, saying, "No."

"Really?"

Ye Mo Zheng Dao was not surprised at all.

He explained: "You didn't answer the phone at home, so they called me to ask you what you thought."

Gojo Satoru said unhappily, "You can block them. There are a total of 17 numbers that may call you. Do you want me to set up a blacklist for you?"

Ye Moth Zhengdao: "..."

When it comes to blocking the phone numbers of people at home, this player is obviously a professional.

Ye Moth Zheng Dao shook his head: "No need. I'll just reply for you."

After Ye Mo Zheng Dao left, Al asked, "Wu-chan, did you have a conflict with your family?"

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows. "Hey, you're not trying to tell me to get along well with my family or something like that, are you?"

The purple-haired Heroic Spirit smiled sheepishly, "How could that be!"

A sickly blush appeared on his face, and he turned his head to the side and said to himself, "That's great. If the children don't have a good relationship with their family, then they will all be my children..."

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Xia Yujie: “…”

Ieiri Naoko: “…”

They heard it, they all heard it! This heroic spirit just said something very scary!

"Oh, did you hear that?"

Berserker hesitated for a moment, then excitedly gave up trying to hide his feelings. He said:

"What I mean is... Mom will love you more than your biological parents! Forget about those people! From today on, you are all my children! Me, my own!"

High school students: “…”

He has given up on covering up! This Heroic Spirit! He has completely given up on covering up! This is simply a blatant attempt to steal the child! So this is Berserker!

Al smiled happily, hugged Gojo Satoru's neck, and said sweetly, "So, when is Gojo-chan's birthday?"

Gojo Satoru leaned back nervously, but still answered honestly: "... December 7th."

The purple-haired heroic spirit kissed him hard on the head and said, "Mom will definitely prepare a birthday gift full of love for you!"

Gojo Satoru nodded immediately and said obediently, "Okay."

So Al let go of Gojo Satoru and hugged Ieiri Naoko who was sitting in front of him. Ieiri Naoko was shocked reflexively and was slapped hard on the head.

"So is Nitro-chan. Although your birthday has passed this year, Mom will definitely compensate you."

Ieiri Naoko really wanted to say no, as they had gone to the commercial street to eat crabs together on her birthday, but... well, forget it, let's not make things more complicated, so let's just leave it at that.

When Berserker's eyes fell on Geto Kagome, Geto Kagome froze and said dryly, "My birthday is in February next year..."

“Is that so?” Berserker tilted his head in regret. “It seems we can’t catch up.”

He stroked his chin and thought for a while, then left the classroom first.

The three high school students who remained in the classroom looked at each other.

A few days passed, and it was finally Gojo Satoru's birthday.

The high school students were temporarily tired of eating in the shopping street, so they gathered in Gojo Satoru's room and made a proper dinner using meal kits.

Gojo Satoru was amazed and said, "Wow, aren't you guys really good at cooking?"

Ieiri Naoko snorted and laughed: "Perhaps, have you heard of the legendary cooking bag?"

Gojo Satoru shook his head in confusion.

Xia Yujie laughed: "Roasting Bao is very civilized, isn't the food they make any worse than the ones in the store?"

He waved the meal bag in his hand, "This is Hokkaido cream soup, this is tomato beef stew, this is chicken curry... I also bought the cream for the cake. By the way, there is still a lot of pasta left, Glass, what should I do with this?"

Ieiri Naoko said, "Spaghetti? Keep it all and eat it later when you don't want to go out."

After thinking about it, Xia Yujie decided to take it back to his own dormitory and keep it. If he kept it with Gojo Satoru, it would definitely be drowned in sweets in two days and he would never be able to find it again.

He checked the time: "Why hasn't Al come yet..."

Ieiri Naoko also turned her head to look at the clock on the wall. It was already past six o'clock in the evening.

"Hey, the one with the least time, go check on Al."

The dormitory was silent for a few seconds before Gojo Satoru asked uncertainly, "Ah? Are you talking about me?"

Ieiri Naoko rolled her eyes and said, "It's you."

Gojo Satoru scratched his head, and just as he stood up and was about to look for Al, the dormitory door opened by itself.

The purple-haired hero was wearing a cream-colored turtleneck sweater and holding a large gift box in his arms.

"I'm not late, am I?"

Gojo Satoru smiled and sat back down: "Yo! You came at the right time, I was just about to look for you!"

The Heroic Spirit smiled shyly, "Happy birthday, Go-chan, today is the day you can act cute to your mother as much as you want!"

Gojo Satoru: "... Stupid, I'm already this old, how can I possibly act like a spoiled child with you?"

The Eiji looked a little hurt. He placed the gift under the table and asked Kayu Toshi and Ieori Naoko, "Toshi, Naoko-chan, do you need my help?"

“No, no.”

Ieiri Naoko quickly brought the finished cake to the dining table, and Kagome also quickly cleaned up the kitchen table. The four of them sat at the dining table and put fifteen candles on the cake.

It’s someone’s fifteenth birthday, so of course there should be fifteen candles!

Bad girl. Ieichiro Nozomi took out a lighter and lit the candles one by one. Kagome Kagome stretched out his arm and turned off the lights in the room.

Al picked up the birthday crown placed aside, "Come, Go-chan, this is the crown for the birthday star."

"A paper crown..."

"Yeah, you've never worn it before?"

Gojo Satoru shook his head and obediently accepted the paper birthday crown.

Under the candlelight, his companions sang together: "Happy birthday to you～Happy birthday to you～Happy birthday to you～Happy birthday to you——"

Gojo Satoru curled up the corners of his lips unconsciously and smiled softly. He waited patiently for his companions to finish singing the birthday song, and then he made a wish loudly according to the process (heard): "I hope I can grab the new limited edition game console on Christmas Eve!"

"call--"

The candles were blown out, and his friends clapped and complained, "Don't say your birthday wishes out loud, five!"

“Satoru, is this your birthday wish? Could you at least say something like ‘I will definitely learn the reversal technique next year’?”

"No need, I'll learn it soon. Compared to that, it's more difficult to grab the limited edition game console. Hurry up, take out my birthday present!"

Then, Jie took out a manuscript that seemed to be related to a game they liked. Gojo Satoru's eyes lit up and he said sincerely, "That's amazing, Jie!"

Ieiri Shoko gave him a dessert voucher, and Gojo Satoru said in disbelief: "Wow, this is hard to get! Shoko, you are so awesome, are you interested in helping me get Owee? On Christmas Eve."

"Haha, wishful thinking."

Gojo Satoru put away the manuscript and the voucher, and asked Al with great interest: "Al, where is yours? Let me see it!"

Al picked up his gift box: "Come on, Go-chan, open it."

Gojo Satoru took the colorfully wrapped gift box, removed the decorative ribbon smoothly, and opened it to find three scarves inside.

"It was woven by my mother herself."

Blue, yellow, pink. One of the blue scarves is made of soft material and has a white cat wearing sunglasses embroidered on it, as well as Gojo Satoru's initials: "GS"

It’s amazing! Not only can Yuan Laiguang weave scarves, he can also embroider English on them!

Gojo Satoru likes it very much, but...

He was puzzled and asked, "Are all three scarves for me?"

It doesn't look like it.

Al shook his head and said softly, "The blue one is for Wu-chan, the yellow one is for Jie-chan, and the pink one is for Naturo-chan."

Gojo Satoru was puzzled and asked, "Then why are they all placed in my gift box?"

Berserker said seriously, "I gave all three scarves to Wu-chan as a birthday present. If Wu-chan gives the scarves to Jie-chan and Gaozi-chan, she will be sharing happiness with her friends!"

“…”

Gojo Satoru had an puzzled expression, as if he was deeply inspired. He took out a blue scarf, wrapped it around his neck twice, and gave the other two to Geto Suguru and Naoko Ieiri.

"……give."

Kagome and Ieiri Naoko accepted this unexpected birthday gift with a bit of confusion and a bit of restraint. After a moment's hesitation, they said to Gojo Satoru, "Thank you."

Then he said to Al, "Thank you."

Gojo Satoru: “…”

He cleared his throat in an effort to look calm.

After a strange silence, the high school students holding their scarves finally couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha…what? Are you shy?!"

"You are the ones who are shy! Your ears are red!"

"Oh no, thanking Gojo is really weird. I don't want to thank him again in my life!"

"Huh? What do you mean, Nitro?"

Al looked at his three energetic children tenderly and made a wish to the blown-out candle. When he opened his eyes again, he saw his three children looking at him with sparkling eyes.

Gojo Satoru asked curiously, "What wish did you make, Berserker?"

"How rude, Wu. Don't ask so directly."

"that is."
