Chapter 146 The Second Player
After flipping through a few more posts on the forum, Haruto Nishimi shook his hair and pushed down the quilt that was covering him so tightly that it was making him feel stuffy. While reading the forum, he accidentally saw a few "battle-damaged pictures" of "Yuuki Igarashi". Although he knew that the "forum" could not see them, he still subconsciously piled all the quilts next to him on himself.
"Igarashi Yuuki" prefers close combat, so generally speaking, when fighting, Saikai Haruto prefers to take off the uniform jacket on her body, leaving only a close-fitting T-shirt or vest. This not only reduces the restraint of being restricted, but also avoids damage to the jacket.
Originally, he had never taken it seriously... It was normal for boys to be careless and not pay attention to this, right? As for the damage to the T-shirt vest, it was caused by the cursed spirit and had nothing to do with him. However, after seeing some "澀图" on the forum and hearing that there were a lot of them, Xi Haiqing Dou felt that perhaps he still needed to pay a little attention...
In short, boys also need to pay attention to safety when exorcising cursed spirits alone!
He reorganized the information in the forum in his mind.
The first is about the partnership of Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Igarashi Yuuki - jokingly called the "Japan Branch of De O Society" by the forum, which roughly means a three-person manzai combination.
Saikai Haruto remembers that in the first few chapters of "Takuyu", only Gojo Satoru, Kagome Ken, Ieiri Shoko and Hanayamain Haruna "appeared" in the manga, and the "combinations" of the four people have been changing frequently, such as the "Goka" combination, the "Iehana" combination, "Goka Shoko", "Gokahana" and "Goka Iehana". There is no fixed number of combinations of the four people. The most posts combine three "Gokahana" people or two "Goka" people, but there is not much difference in the number of people in general.
After another "Igarashi Yuuki" suddenly appeared, a few chapters passed in the comics, and the number of posts and people who combined the three people of "Igarashi" gradually increased.
Saikai Haruto took the trouble to browse the forum for a long time and reread the bullet points of the first few chapters of the comic. Finally, he can come to a new conclusion - currently, in the eyes of the forum audience, the relationship between the three members of "Goka Arashi" is close to the point of being close, far higher than that of others.
Especially in this episode, the daily life of the three of them plus Haruna Hanayamain getting along together makes people more "convinced" that the three of "Goka Arashi" are indeed incompatible with everyone else, but they themselves are "completely unaware", and the best choice for the three is to "stick together and be beautiful alone" - and they should not add Haruna Hanayamain to create any "Shura Field" among them.
This awareness is all subtle and gradual. Xihai Qingdoujing has been working on it quietly and covertly for several months, and is now gradually seeing results. It can be said that hard work pays off.
The second is about the father and son, Fushiguro Masashi and Fushiguro Megumi.
Although these two chapters are not Megumi Fushiguro's "home court", as an important character in "Jujutsu O War", his appearance, especially with Fushiguro Shiori who "has never appeared in the comics", naturally also triggered a small-scale discussion on the forum.
After integrating some information, Saikai Haruto came to a partial conclusion: Fushiguro Megumi inherited the Zenin family's heirloom curse "Ten Shadow Techniques"; Fushiguro Junji has never appeared in the "main story", and as soon as Fushiguro Megumi appeared, he had a very close relationship with Gojo Satoru.
——Haruto Saikai boldly guessed that the relationship between Fushiguro Senji and Gojo Satoru in the "original line" should be quite good, so much so that he "entrusted his orphan to Gojo Satoru before his death" and handed Fushiguro Megumi to Gojo Satoru.
The "death" of Fushiguro Junji was speculated by Saikai Haruto based on the forum, which is most likely the reason why he did not appear in the "main story"; and no one on the forum raised the objection that Fushiguro Megumi's name was "Fushiguro Megumi" instead of "Zenin Megumi", and some discussions about the "relationship between the Fushiguro father and son and the Zenin family" made Saikai Haruto confirm that Fushiguro Megumi will not return to the Zenin family in the future.
There are not many people who can do this. In addition, the forum always links the names of "Gojo Satoru" and "Foshiguro Megumi" together. Saikai Haruto is 90% sure that Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro Megumi will have a very good relationship in the future. Maybe after Fushiguro Shinji's death, it was Gojo Satoru who kept him.
Considering the age difference between Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro Megumi, and the fact that the two of them seem to have no connection at all, the only vehicles between the two of them are Fushiguro Jhin and Hanayamain Haruna.
In the previous round, Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro Shinobu met each other in the later period because of Hanayamain Haruna, and they became enemies during the "Escort of the Astral Plasma Body" period. So maybe in the original plot line, Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro Shinobu might have met each other for some other reason?
However, in this week, Saikai Haruto does not plan to make too many changes - without knowing the original plot content, except for the incident about Hanayamain Haruna, it is better for him as an "external variable" to do as little as possible.
Then there is the discussion about the relationship between Fushiguro Nori, Hanayamain Haruna, and the Zenin family.
These had little to do with Saikai Haruto, and after coming to the conclusion that in the eyes of the forum audience, "Foshiguro Shiori has a special interest in Hanayamain Haruna," he quickly glanced over them and left them alone for the time being.
Finally, here are the posts on the forum regarding the character analysis of "Yuuki Igarashi".
In fact, the number and attention of this type of posts are not particularly large, but since it involves his vest and his "popularity value", Xi Haiqing Dou still paid close attention to it.
Since "Igarashi Yuuki" is indeed honest, overly optimistic, and rarely has negative emotions, there are currently three main opinions on his personality in the forum:
The most mainstream view is naturally "Igarashi Yuuki is a simple and pure big boy, with a simple optimism without impurities";
The second is the argument that "Yuuki Igarashi's personality is hot on the outside but cold on the inside. Because she is closed-minded and doesn't care, she treats everything equally. In fact, she doesn't care about anything equally." This argument has always appeared in the discussion, but I don't know why it has suddenly become more common recently;
Finally, there is the recent "rising of a new force" - the argument that "Yuuki Igarashi has 'divinity' in her, and therefore has a calm personality without any gloom or negative emotions". I don't know when this argument first emerged, and although few people believed it, it became a little popular because it also involved Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
Xi Haiqing Dou pondered for a while and felt that these three arguments were all quite interesting.
Isn’t pure kindness, optimism and straightforwardness, treating everyone equally, also a kind of divinity?
After thinking about the "script" in his mind, a vague idea gradually became clear again, and Xi Haiqing Dou seemed to be thinking about something.
Even if we have the script, it is still hard to find actors, and they may not cooperate, so we need to make plans slowly...
As the night deepened, Xi Haiqing Dou, adhering to the concept of a qualified worker, was still diligently making plans. Until the long-awaited sleepiness finally came to his mind, the black-haired, green-eyed boy squinted his eyes and yawned, then he dispersed the thoughts in his mind, pulled up the quilt again, turned off the light and went to sleep.
***
An ordinary day off.
An ordinary coffee shop.
Haruto Nishimi was still wearing an ordinary waiter's uniform of a cafe, a white shirt with a black vest and a black bow tie. He squatted down and looked at the little boy in front of him who had the same black hair and green eyes as him and looked very familiar. The two of them stared at each other and were speechless for a while.
"Xiaohui...?"
Xi Haiqing was the first to speak, and asked uncertainly, "Why are you here?"
——It’s been less than a week since I last saw him in the department store? I met Fushiguro Megumi again so soon... Has his luck suddenly changed for the better?
Xi Haiqingdou bit his tongue uncertainly.
Hiss, it hurts a little, so I’m really not dreaming?
Fushiguro Megumi nodded silently.
He pursed his lips, looked at him, and after a few seconds he replied in a muffled voice: "Dad is missing."
"Brother Yuxi, can I stay here with you for a while?"
"Yuuki-kun? Is this your brother? So cute..."
The female colleague standing behind the cashier poked her head out and asked curiously in a low voice - there were currently few customers in the cafe and nothing busy, so even if they were doing something unrelated to work, as long as it did not interfere with their work, the manager would not pay much attention.
Although Igarashi Yuuki is young and works part-time, because of his handsome appearance, and thinking that young girls will come into the store because of his face, the manager still made an exception and let him enter the store.
He had only worked part-time for half a month, and this was the first time that his colleague saw any family member other than his two classmates come to the store.
"Eh? No, Xiaohui is not my brother. Um... maybe he can be considered a friend I know, right?"
Haruto Nishimi looked up and shook his head at his female colleague, then looked down at Megumi Fushiguro again and asked him uncertainly, as if asking for his thoughts.
Fushiguro Megumi's eyes lit up and she nodded affirmatively: "Brother Yuuki and I are friends."
He loves this! This is the first time he has a "friend" this old.
So Saikai Haruto also laughed: "I also like being friends with Xiaohui."
"Hey, it's not your brother, but a friend this young?"
My colleague also smiled softly, her eyes slightly curved, as if she thought they were both cute: "What are you doing?"
"He should be here to see me. Ms. Kaori, can I let Xiaohui stay here for a while?"
Xi Haiqingdou raised his hand to ask for his colleagues' opinions, and his expression was extremely sincere: "Please rest assured, I will not interfere with their work. There are others."
The colleague who usually works as a cashier is also a relative of the store manager, so as long as the colleague agrees, the store manager will not have any objection.
As if she knew who was in charge, Fushiguro Megumi also raised her eyes and looked over.
——So, so cute!!
Being stared at by two pairs of similar green eyes, one big and one small, and being struck by the beauty of two pretty faces, my colleague named Nakano Kaori immediately agreed in a daze.
"It's still half an hour before the end of the shift, so there shouldn't be many customers, and it won't delay anything..."
Nakano Kaori unconsciously put on an auntie smile and said dazedly, "If this child doesn't make trouble."
