Chapter 56
Ieiri Naoko smiled and said, "Because I'm not alone."
Ieiri Shoko was referring to the fact that she had met Baichuan Mu, but Baichuan Mu understood it to have another meaning. She thought Ieiri Shoko was referring to Geto Suguru.
"So it seems that Naoko's opinion of Jie and Wu will change a little?"
At least they are not scum anymore... although there was no malice in Ieiri Shoko's comment.
"Huh?" Ieiri Naoko was stunned. "I know that Jie is referring to sister Mumu's child, but what about Wu? Another classmate of mine in the future?"
"That's right~" Baichuan Mu gave a thumbs up to Jiarui Glass, "Spellcasters are still relatively rare. Your future classmates will be these two, Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru. As for Satoru, he's probably staying at home. We won't see him for the time being... unless that idiot gets angry and runs away from home again."
…
Gojo Satoru, who was at home with his cat, sneezed, "Ah Qiu - who is talking about me?"
Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes and did not see any signs of Baichuan Mu and Xia Yujie returning. He did not want to go out to look for them and planned to give them a surprise.
Gojo Satoru rubbed the heads of the cats and dogs while eating the snacks he had found.
…
Ieiri Shoko nodded thoughtfully, and her imagined appearance of Gojo Satoru changed from a magical boy to a cow cat.
Wait, Glass, Satoru is a pure white cat.
Bai Chuanmu thought that the timing was right, so why not have lunch together, and bought some food nearby.
There was no place selling lunch near Geto's school, but there were quite a few stationery stores, toy stores and bookstores. She remembered that there was a convenience store on the next street, which should sell oden and rice balls, but she still chose a cake shop nearby. They had quite a lot of things, not only pastries, but also sandwiches.
There is also a stall selling sushi and cold skewers at the door. The sushi and cold skewers in the stall are sold individually or by the stick. They are quite cheap. The pocket money of primary school students after school is enough to buy one or two sushi or two or three skewers of cold skewers to satisfy their cravings.
As a wealthy man, Baichuanmu can definitely buy whatever he wants, even if it means buying all the food at the stall at the door.
"Nano, do you want to eat anything?" Baichuanmu turned his head and asked for Jiaru Nozomi's opinion first.
Baichuanmu remembered that Jiarui Xiaozi didn't like sweets very much, but she liked alcohol. But she was still an elementary school student. No matter how unreliable Baichuanmu was, he would never do such a thing as taking an elementary school student to drink.
"Well... I can do anything," Ieiri Naoko said a little embarrassedly, "and I have food money, but I usually buy rice balls or sandwiches."
"It's okay, just consider it as a reward for your treatment to me." Bai Chuanmu shook his fingers and said with a smile.
"Yes." Ieiri Naoko smiled and said, "If Sister Mumu needs my help with anything, just ask. After all, I am the only sorcerer in the world of sorcery who can use the reversal technique to heal... Of course, it would be best if Sister Mumu is not injured."
"Hahaha~" Baichuanmu smiled and rubbed Jiaru Xiaozi's head, "Then I would like to thank Xiaozi in advance."
Jialiu Naoko nodded. At this moment, she felt as if something was missing. She subconsciously raised her head and touched the back of her head: "Ah, the bun that Sister Mumu tied for me is gone, and the hair band is also gone. Maybe it fell on the taxi."
"The hairband is still there. I put it in my bag, but I forgot to bring a comb, so it's not easy to tie it with my bare hands." Baichuanmu took out a star-shaped hairband from his bag and handed it to Jiaru Xiaozi. "You can wear it on your hand first. Your friend gave me two hairbands, so it's just right for us to have one each."
Baichuanmu handed one of the star hairbands to Jiaru Xiaozi, and put the other one on her hand: "It's very cute... Xiaozi with her hair down is also very cute, but, Xiaozi, do you like to tie your hair up?"
Ieiri Naoko ran her fingers through her hair. She let her hair down just to save trouble, and she wasn't very good at braiding it. "I can do anything, but I'm not very good at braiding my hair, so I just let it down. It's easier this way... But I think the hair that Mumu-sister braided for me... is pretty good?"
"Hahaha..." Bai Chuanmu said with a smile, "This is a rare evaluation. If Naoko needs it, you can come to me and I will help you tie your hair... Oh, but Naoko's house should be quite far from my shop. It's a bit..."
"Okay," Jialiu Xiaozi interrupted Baichuanmu, "It's not far, but I may not be able to go there every day. But we don't have classes on weekends, so I have a lot of free time. I may have to trouble Sister Mumu once or twice a week in the future."
"It's not a bother. I'll be very happy if you come." Bai Chuanmu said sincerely, "After all... I may need your help with something in the future."
"No problem. Didn't I tell you? If Sister Mumu needs my help, just ask. I won't refuse," said Naoko Ieiri with a smile, the dimples on her cheeks faintly visible. "And I think the thing Sister Mumu needs my help with should be to help others, right?"
"Glass is really smart," Baichuanmu nodded, "But do you trust me so much?"
Ieiri Naoko said as a matter of course: "Because Sister Mumu is a good person."
Baichuanmu laughed in silence, rubbed Jiaru Xiaozi's head, and looked at the dazzling array of cakes. She thought for a while, then took two bacon, cheese and egg sandwiches and a chestnut cake from the shelf: "This chestnut cake is less sweet, you can try it?"
Ieiri Naoko was stunned: "Huh? How did Sister Mumu know that I don't like sweets?"
Ieiri Glass only just remembered that the milk she drank at Baichuanmu before was also only lightly sweet. At that time, Toda Miki even exclaimed, "It tastes so good, so sweet." At that time, she was a little nervous and scared, so she was absent-minded and didn't listen. Now thinking about it carefully...
"Uh... a guess? Because you don't seem very interested in these cakes?" Bai Chuanmu found a suitable reason.
"......Yeah." Ieiri Shoko nodded.
It seems that Ieiri Shoko accepts this statement. In fact, she is talking to herself in her heart. Sure enough, Sister Twilight's ability is not simple... Ability related to the future and exploration? It's a bit scary, but fortunately Sister Twilight is a good person.
Baichuanmu also bought a portion of sushi, three corn cheese and three salmon, and selected twelve cold skewers. Except for the sandwiches that were the staple food for the two of them, she bought the rest for three people, because Xiayou Jie also had a lunch box, and this amount was estimated to be enough for the three of them to eat very well, and maybe leave some for the cursed spirits.
Baichuanmu bought quite a few things, which her small bag could barely hold. Jiaru Xiaozi also helped carry the cold skewers that were not convenient to put into the bag.
Bai Chuanmu was allowed to pass after showing his parent ID to the school security guard. In order to ensure the safety of students, the school is quite strict in this regard.
Although Ieyu Nishiko did not have an ID, he was not stopped because he was a child.
Xia Youjie's class was on the fourth floor. When the two of them arrived, the get out of class had just ended for a few minutes. Bai Chuanmu was tall and had outstanding looks, so he attracted a lot of attention. Xia Youjie also noticed Bai Chuanmu at the first opportunity.
Xia Youjie said hello to the classmate who was talking to him at the table in front of him: "My mother is here, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm leaving first."
"Xiayou, that's your mother?! I thought she was your sister." The classmate in front of me was surprised, "Your mother is so young and beautiful."
"Thank you." Xia Youjie smiled. He felt good when someone praised his mother.
When Xia Yujie left the classroom and just shouted "Mom", he noticed that Baichuanmu was holding the hand of a girl who looked very young: "Who is...?"
When Jialiu Naoko saw Xiayou Jie, she was stunned for a moment, muttered "So tall", then looked up and asked Baichuan Mu: "Is he a junior high school student?"
With Geto Xiayou's height, he can be considered a standout among the elementary school students.
Xia Youjie pointed to the class number and replied with a smile: "Little sister, third grade, class two."
"Hmm..." The corners of Ieiri Naoko's eyes drooped, and there seemed to be a hint of "disdain" in her eyes, but it was more likely helplessness.
She thought to herself, although he looked a lot like Sister Mumu and they both loved to smile with squinting eyes, the feelings they gave people were completely different. When Sister Mumu smiled with squinting eyes, she gave her a feeling that she was in control, very shrewd, majestic but not cold, while the peer in front of her only made her think of a black-bellied fox.
"Jie, this is Ieiri Nozomi. She is the same as you and Wu. You will be classmates in the future." Baichuanmu said, but because there were other students nearby, he couldn't be too specific.
"Could she be my classmate who has mastered another reversal technique in the future?!" Xia Youjie opened his eyes in surprise and no longer squinted.
"That's right~" Bai Chuanmu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "You will be classmates in the future~"
Ieiri Naoko couldn't help but repeat in a low voice: "The future."
Xia Youjie looked at Jiarui Nishiko and said, "It seems that you also know that my mother..."
He mouthed the word "future".
Although Ieiri Naoko couldn't read lips, she just whispered the word "future" softly, so she naturally understood what Geto Suguru said and nodded: "Yeah, I know."
But Baichuan Mu didn't understand. Based on the context, she thought that Xia Youjie was talking about "monkey"...ah, no, "ordinary people".
Xia Youjie narrowed his eyes and made a hushing gesture: "Don't tell anyone."
Ieiri Nozomi was stunned for a moment. She knew very little about the world of sorcery, but she felt that since Geto Suguru emphasized it so much, the matter must not be simple.
She turned her head to look at the "extremely cunning" Baichuan Mu, and thought to herself, Sister Mumu must have her own intentions. Didn't she hint at it in her words before... or, should I say, she explicitly pointed out the corruption of the upper echelons of the magic world. Perhaps, Sister Mumu wanted to change all this.
Ieiri Naoko nodded seriously: "I understand. However, I know that Sister Mumu is a good person, and I believe her."
Baichuan Mu was unaware of the change in Ieiri Shoko's thoughts. Instead, he laughed happily because of what Ieiri Shoko said.
"Yes, of course my mother is a good person," Xia Youjie nodded, and couldn't help but reveal a cheerful smile, thinking that this future classmate had good taste. However, he was stunned while laughing, "You call my mother 'Sister Mumu'?"
"Yeah?" Ieiri Naoko asked doubtfully, "What's the problem?"
This is a big problem! Aren’t they future classmates? Aren’t they the same age? Why is he a little younger than me for no apparent reason?
but……
Xia Youjie looked at Baichuanmu. His mother was young and beautiful. She should prefer to be called "sister" instead of "aunt"...
Xia Youjie pursed his lips. Considering Baichuan Mu's feelings, he quickly accepted the result that he was younger than his classmates. Anyway, he still had Wu to accompany him, and Wu would occasionally call his mother "Auntie Mu".
Baichuanmu noticed her son's thoughts at this time. She patted Xiayoujie's shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay. She calls me sister and you call me mom. You are classmates. Let's talk about our own things. You really don't have to call Jiaru Nitroko 'Aunt Nitroko'. She is the same age as you!"
Baichuan Mu still has some evil thoughts in her mind. She is not trying to comfort him at all, she is just teasing Xia Youjie.
"Pfft," Ieiri Naoko couldn't help laughing, but she quickly stopped laughing, "Sorry, I couldn't help it."
Geto Suguru: ...It's okay, Satoru is with him.
Gojo Satoru: ...Hmm?
