Chapter 147 The Second Player

After obtaining the consent of Kaori Nakano, Haruto Nishimi was able to successfully bring Megumi Fushiguro into the cafe.

He is a waiter in the store and also a semi-professional barista. When there are no customers calling him, he has quite a lot of free time.

"Xiaohui, how did you find this place?"

Saikai Haruto asked curiously, stretched out a finger and carefully poked Fushiguro Megumi's cheek - children's cheeks are indeed soft.

"I was outside with my dad and saw it. Then my dad got lost and asked me to look for brother Yuuki."

Megumi Fushiguro stood there obediently and let him do what he wanted, but there was a hint of depression in her voice.

However, it was not directed at Saikai Haruto, but at Fushiguro Shinobu—that unscrupulous guy, who seemed to have too much free time recently, dragged him around everywhere. Although the number of times was not particularly high, Fushiguro Megumi counted on her little finger, it was still more than the number of times he had done it in the first half of the year combined.

But after taking him out, she always forgot that she brought him with her, so he would always get lost and become alone. Although he never really got lost every time, after so many times, Fushiguro Megumi was very tired.

Today, his unscrupulous scumbag father took him out again.

Fortunately, before he got "lost" again, they saw his brother named "Igarashi Yuuki" who worked in the cafe.

Megumi Fushiguro was very impressed by him, much more than by Hanayamain Haruna - although Hanayamain Haruna was very beautiful, Megumi Fushiguro had seen too many women around Fushiguro, so it was inevitable that she was a little "commonplace", and her attitude towards him was no different from that of others. Little Megumi Fushiguro thought that he was not a person like his father who only cared about looks, body and money.

However, "Igarashi Yuuki" is a rare one, making little Megumi Fushiguro feel that in his eyes, they are "equals" rather than "adult and child".

"Brother Yuuki!"

So Fushiguro Megumi pulled Fushiguro Shigeru's clothes with bright eyes, originally intending to let Fushiguro Shigeru stop and say hello to Saikai Haruto.

Unexpectedly, the unscrupulous old father's eyes lit up and he came up with a bad idea.

"Oh, is it the little brat who was with the young lady last time? Do you like him?"

Fushiguro Shier touched his chin and said, "That's good. I have something else to do... Hey, kid, go find him. I'm leaving first."

——So he was left here by someone.

Well, this is also normal, just like he used to leave him with any sister or aunt for a while, and then after a while, the sister or aunt sent him back home.

Of course, don't expect Fushiguro Shigeru to remember him and send him back on his own initiative...that's impossible.

After getting the answer from Fushiguro Megumi, Saikai Haruto's mind raced and he apparently came up with the answer quickly.

——It was nothing more than the inhuman Fushiguro Nori, who, after seeing him, thought of him as some kind of free "babysitter".

Damn, he is such a sharp, decisive, and terrible scumbag.

That bastard must have seen through Igarashi Yuuki's character at first sight, so he was so confident in leaving Fushiguro Megumi to him, thinking that nothing would go wrong...even though Igarashi Yuuki and Fushiguro Megumi had only met once.

But just because "nothing will happen", he was so careless and threw Fushiguro Megumi over, completely disregarding whether Fushiguro Megumi and he were happy or not. What was he thinking... He is indeed a selfish scumbag.

Saikai Haruto silently praised Fushiguro Shinji in his heart.

But yes, how could anyone cooperate with him like this?

To some extent, this was exactly what Saikai Haruto wanted.

Given Igarashi Yuuki's personality, he would of course choose to take in Fushiguro Megumi himself with a good temper.

"Of course there's no problem with you staying here, but I'll be off work in half an hour. Did Fushiguro-kun say when he'll be free to come see you?" Nishimi Haruto asked with a smile.

He is not the type to dwell on anything. Even if he encounters any troubles, he thinks that "just let it go and face the challenges head-on" instead of dwelling too much on the reasons.

"no."

Fushiguro Megumi shook her head obediently, frowned, and asked him in a mature manner, "Will I cause you any trouble?"

His expression looks extremely serious.

"Eh? I don't think so."

Xihai Haruto then smiled back at him and explained to him seriously: "My work is not very busy. Unless you ask me, Xiaohui, to take you out now or stay with you all the time, I may not be able to do this." arrive……"

Just as he showed a slightly distressed expression on his face, he saw Fushiguro Megumi immediately said: "No, I can sit here alone."

"In that case, it won't be a problem at all."

Saikai Haruto said, stroking his little head: "Then, Xiaohui, can you wait here for me to get off work? Well, you can sit here or follow me, and I will call Fushiguro-kun when the time comes."

"Okay, I understand."

Megumi Fushiguro sat in the chair and nodded.

He really looks like a very good child.

Even though his facial expression was calm and expressionless, it was reflected on this cute face of only three or four years old. Not only did it not show any "adult-like appearance", but it made him look even cuter... It made people want to pinch his little face and tease him to see if he would show some anger that was suitable for a child or other more lively expressions.

Xi Haiqing Dou was so suspenseful that he could not hold it in.

So the new customers saw that there was not only a handsome and youthful-looking young waiter in the cafe, but also a small tail with the same black hair and green eyes, and a serious and earnest expression...

Even when he got off work, Xi Haiqing Dou was still a little puzzled: "The customer flow tonight seems to be particularly good... Why are there so many more customers suddenly?"

He stretched himself lazily, but didn't really take it to heart: "Ah - fortunately I can finally get off work now!"

Nakano Kaori covered her mouth and chuckled: "Because Yuuki-kun and Xiaohui are both very charming."

The reason why the store manager agreed to let Haruto Nishimi take on a part-time job was because "Yuuki Igarashi" was not only handsome, but also had the kind of handsomeness that was particularly attractive to girls. He only needed to stand in the store, and more customers would come in than usual.

Now he has a cute little tail like Fushiguro Megumi by his side. Even if the two of them don't actually look alike, people can still forcibly imagine that they are somewhat similar in their minds - which naturally makes them more attractive.

It’s a pity that “Yuuki Igarashi” is good in every way except emotionally, and she never knows how to think in this direction.

Fushiguro Megumi was quite calm - perhaps it was because he had a father like Fushiguro Shigeki, so he was used to attracting girls since he was a child.

"Next time Yuuki-kun comes to work, will you bring Xiaohui with you?"

Nakano Kaori smiled and asked, "If you come back next time, you will still be welcome in the store."

Only a fool would not welcome a child who is well-behaved, doesn't cry, and can attract customers.

"Well...if there's another chance next time, we'll talk about it later."

Saikai Haruto answered with a smile.

After opening the phone and looking at the three "missed calls" displayed on it, Xi Hai Qingdou sighed. He was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt like "as expected".

He knew...that guy Fushiguro Shigeki really didn't just want him to take care of Fushiguro Megumi for one afternoon.

***

"Huh? So that's why you brought this brat into school?"

Gojo Satoru twitched his lips and pulled the black hair of Fushiguro Megumi in front of him, with a surprised expression: "Wow, his hair actually grows naturally and curls up without any hair wax? How did he do that? It's amazing."

——Although Saikai Haruto later called Fushiguro Shigeki, Fushiguro Shigeki just said a few perfunctory words like "I'm very busy lately and don't have time to take care of the children", and then casually "entrusted" Fushiguro Megumi to him.

Saikai Haruto: "Wait, Fushiguro-kun, I'm still a student too, I still need to stay in school, right? Even if I bring Xiaohui to Jujutsu High School, is that okay?"

"It doesn't matter. You can throw him away, take him home, sell him, or take him away. As long as he's not injured or dead, it's up to you. I'm not free this week."

Fushiguro Shiji's original words were extremely shameless: "If you didn't throw it away, you can return it to me next week. Of course, I don't pay men - ah, I still have things to do, so that's it, I'm hanging up."

Anyway, after leaving these few words, Fushiguro Shigeki just hung up the phone.

Now that Fushiguro Shinobu has said so, what else can Saikai Haruto do?

Although Fushiguro Megumi calmly said that he could just send him home and that he could take care of himself, how could Igarashi Yuuki agree? As an upright and kind-hearted boy, although he did not approve of Fushiguro Shigeru's actions, he still chose to keep Fushiguro Megumi.

So, anyway, the outcome of the matter became what it is now - after leaving the cafe and completing a mission on the way, he brought Fushiguro Megumi into the Jujutsu High School, and was soon caught by Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.

Megumi Fushiguro hugged the black cat that had jumped into his arms, and simply tilted his head expressionlessly in response to Gojo Satoru's actions.

"Wu, that's very rude of you. You scared him."

Xia Yujie slapped Gojo Satoru's hand away and looked at Saikai Haruto with a raised eyebrow: "So Yuuki, are you going to keep him here secretly?"

"We're just letting Hui stay here for a few days. When Fushiguro-kun is free in a few days, we should be able to take him back. Just be careful not to be discovered by the principal and teachers, right?"

Xi Haiqingdou ruffled his hair and felt a little distressed: "Well, after all, if Xiaohui is left alone in my house, it's a bit far, and it's not convenient to travel back and forth, and it's not safe for him to live alone."

"I said, this kid is really not your relative? You both have green eyes."

Gojo Satoru reached out and continued to poke at Fushiguro Megumi's hair, then shook his head to deny his previous guess: "No, this kid has no expression at all. He's not interesting at all, completely different from you."

“Isn’t this the point?”

Xia Yujie was speechless: "I say, Yuxi, are you really going to bring him into the school?"

He reminded: "Yuuki, do you remember that our school is different from ordinary schools?"

"Jay is right."

Gojo Satoru followed up with a snap of his fingers: "I say, Yuuki, you should just throw him away - after all, you have nothing to do with him, right?"

"Adopting" a child who is completely unrelated to you and whom you have only met once, even if it was only for a few days, but this is still a child who is completely unrelated to you, right?

Yuuki is too kindhearted, isn't he? Why does he seem a little silly... This family really can't live without him and Jie. If it were him, he would have thrown this kid away long ago! Children are the most troublesome things.

"Just because this kid has an unreliable dad who suddenly disappeared, you brought this kid into the dormitory... I think you are too easy to fool. And what if Mr. Ye Moth and the others find out?"

Being stared at by two strange DKs with unfriendly expressions, Fushiguro Megumi remained quite calm and composed.

In fact, he quite agreed with what these two strange guys said.

Although it was Saikai Haruto himself who brought him in, Fushiguro Megumi also thought he was a bit stupid - he brought a stranger like him to his place. Although he was an adult, he was even less vigilant than a child like him. Wasn't he afraid that he or his father were bad people?

Fushiguro Megumi sighed in an old and gloomy manner.

Although his new best friend is older than him, he is a "naive and innocent" person.

His father is a scumbag who loves to bully honest people like him. In his words, what is it called... "If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you are a fool"? Or what is it? Anyway, the general meaning is the same.

"No, the reason I agreed has nothing to do with Fushiguro-kun. It's because I believe Xiaohui is a good child, and he is also very well behaved. He promised me that he would not wander around, so it doesn't matter."

"...Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Didn't I tell you guys just now?"

Saikai Haruto said, blinking his eyes, with an innocent look on his face: "Xiaohui can also see cursed spirits...so he shouldn't be an ordinary child, so even if he is discovered after living here, it won't matter, right?"
