Chapter 81: The 81st Mom
"But..." Xia Yujie paused, chuckled, the light in his eyes became softer, he narrowed his eyes slightly, not the usual squinting smile of a sinister fox, but a purely gentle look.
He continued in a gentle voice that showed real emotion: "But I really don't think it matters, because I always know that I am not alone. My mother is always by my side. Of course, you, Wu and Gaozi, are my companions. Not only is my mother by my side, but you are also by my side."
"Haha..." Bai Chuanmu couldn't help but smile after hearing that. She lowered her eyes and looked at Xia Youjie tenderly. She rubbed his head. She felt happy from the bottom of her heart. "Jie, it's great that you feel this way... It's great."
Baichuan Mu couldn't help but say "That's great" twice, because as an ordinary person, she could help a little, which was enough to make her satisfied. At least in this way, Xia Youjie wouldn't have to live so hard.
However, what Baichuanmu didn't know was that her help was more than just a little bit, it was her everlasting companionship.
This is also what Geto Suguru needs most.
"Is that so..." Hearing what Xia Youjie said, Jialiu Naoko was stunned for a moment. She seemed a little embarrassed, but she didn't show it very obviously. She blinked quickly, closed her eyes for a while, and then opened them again.
Ieiri Naoko chuckled, her eyes moving back and forth between Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru. She stroked her chin and said, "Satoru is unexpectedly not frank enough, and Geto, you are unexpectedly... corny."
She thought for a while before coming to this conclusion.
"Eh..." When Geto heard this comment, he couldn't help but feel surprised. He scratched his cheek, feeling that this word was not appropriate for him. It was very strange. He now understood how Gojo Satoru felt before. "This comment... Nitro, I feel that you are not good at using adjectives. It was the same before, saying that Satoru and I were scumbags or something like that."
The corners of Ieiri Naoko's eyes were raised, and they were sparkling, as if she was gleaming with the joy of a successful prank. It was obvious that she was in a good mood, and even her tone of voice was no longer as lazy as usual, but became brisk: "Really? But I think it's quite appropriate, isn't it?"
Xia Youjie was a little suspicious... No, he was sure that Ieiri Shoko said that on purpose.
However, Geto Xiayou still accepted this evaluation: "Well, maybe in your perception, this is a compliment, right? Just like the word 'scumbag', but... you just understand what I mean."
"Hahaha..." Jiajiazi laughed dumbly.
Of course, Ieiri Naoko could understand what Geto Suguru said. She actually had the same feeling. In the past, she had always expected to meet someone who could see cursed spirits like her. If she was the only one who saw a monster that others couldn't see, she would also feel scared. No...
Ieiri Naoko thought about it, as if she was evaluating Geto Suguru, or as if she was talking to herself: "Fortunately... I'm not alone, otherwise I would feel lonely no matter what..."
She was not only talking about Geto Suguru, but also about herself.
Geto Xiayou tilted his head slightly and smiled without saying anything. They were all like this, even Gojo Satoru.
"Hahaha~ Jie is really a person who is afraid of loneliness. Even Glass can see it. So Jie, you are just a little brat." Gojo Satoru snorted and patted Xiayou Jie's shoulder, "A little brat who is afraid of loneliness!"
Then he saw that Geto Suguru and Naoko Ieiri were both giving him strange looks. Gojo Satoru frowned, raised his sunglasses, and asked, "What?"
Ieiri Naoko shrugged: "Nothing..."
She just felt that she was caught in the crossfire for no reason.
Xia Youjie showed his classic black-bellied fox smile: "We just feel the same."
Xia Youjie "subtlely" reminded his best friend that this statement not only included him, but also the two of them. In fact, the three of them were the same, all little kids who were afraid of loneliness.
But Ieiri Naoko doesn't think so.
Hearing this, Ieiri Naoko raised her eyebrows and raised her hand, saying, "This 'mutually' shouldn't include me, right? I don't want to get involved~"
Mainly because I don’t want to be treated as a “little brat”.
Xia Yujie smiled but said nothing, his meaning was obvious.
"Tsk..." Ieiri Shoko curled her lips. Ieiri Shoko, a third-grade elementary school student, would never admit that she was also a little brat. She was different from these two childish boys.
A childish boy raised his thumb and pointed at himself and said, "Of course, Jie and I are close friends. Of course, you and Nitro are different!"
Jiajia Nizi chuckled: "Pfft haha..."
Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
Ieiri Naoko covered her mouth and waved her hands, saying, "Nothing, it's just... I just think that what you said is right."
Xiayou Jie looked at Gojo Satoru helplessly, with a look of "complaint" in his eyes. He sighed and said, "Satoru, eat your crepe first."
Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow, not knowing why Geto Xia wanted him to eat crepes at this time, but he would not refuse dessert, so he started to enjoy the food and said, "I want to eat pizza later. Do you have fruit pizza? I'd better get the kind with pineapple."
"Oh, Wu, you reminded me. Let me check if there are any good pizza shops nearby. I just searched and found a few with good reviews, but I haven't looked at the menu yet. I wonder if there is the fruit pizza with pineapple that Wu wants to eat. Let me see..." Baichuanmu took out his phone and started to search, and also instructed, "Don't eat crepes too fast, especially you, Wu."
Gojo Satoru made a face at Baichuan Mu, but he actually listened to her a little bit and ate the crepe a little slower. He said as he ate, "In addition to fruit pizza, there are other dishes. Aunt Mu, you didn't forget the meal I just ordered, did you? The restaurant that I want to eat must have it all!"
"I remember—" Bai Chuanmu said in a long voice, "Well, Wu...it seems that there is no fruit pizza with pineapple."
"What about the strawberry and cream pizza?"
“…Uh, neither.”
“Oreo chocolate pizza would be fine too.”
"Wu, do you have any misunderstanding about pizza?"
Gojo Satoru said confidently, "What's wrong? Is it not possible? I like sweets! Sweets are my favorite! At worst, I can pay more money and ask the chef to make it. This shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Baichuanmu held his forehead helplessly, hoping that the chef would not develop any negative emotions or give rise to any curse because of Gojo Satoru's strange requests.
But it's not bad either. If it's a level 4 cursed spirit, then Geto Suguru will have one more Pokémon.
"Okay," Baichuanmu compromised. "The cream strawberry and Oreo chocolate pizzas may be a little troublesome, but we still have fruit pizzas. Although I see that pineapple is not added to the ingredients,... we can buy some pineapples to take with us later. As for the other dishes you ordered, um... Actually, you can also order takeout in the store. This way, there will be more choices and you won't have to wait too long."
"Okay, I have no objection, as long as I can eat," Gojo Satoru nodded, and sighed, "It would be nice if I could order takeout at the Gojo family, but those old-fashioned people... Tsk, it's annoying just thinking about it. But after I master the teleportation skill, I can just walk out casually."
"Then Wu must master it quickly, so that you can come and play with me often." Xia Yujie said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Jie, you are such a little brat who is afraid of loneliness," Gojo Satoru made an OK gesture, and then raised his hand to touch Xiayou Jie's head, but Xiayou Jie dodged him, "What's wrong, your mother can touch it, but I can't?"
Geto Suguru just felt that if Gojo Satoru touched her head, she might not be able to grow taller than him, so he would not say this reason out loud.
Xia Youjie changed the subject: "Satoru, if you eat three crepes now, will you have enough for dinner later?"
"Of course I can eat it!" Gojo Godai took a bite of his crepe, chewed it quickly and swallowed it, then said proudly, "I'm the best!"
Ieiri Naoko sneered, "The strongest stomacher?"
Gojo Satoru didn't mind at all: "I'm strong in every aspect."
"Oh, that's amazing," Ieiri Naoko said calmly, clapping her hands and saying, "Then my Lord Godson must have mastered the reversal technique now, right? Can you let me see it?"
Gojo Satoru:......
Ieiri Naoko repeated, "Can you let me see it for a moment?"
Gojo Satoru gritted his teeth and fiercely accused Geto Suguru: "Geto, I think Nitro has learned bad things from you."
Xia Youjie sighed softly: "Satoru, at least you will be able to learn it in the future, but I...but I will not give up."
“Even if you learn it in the future, it will be later than me,” Gojo Satoru said with a smug smile, “So I win this time.”
Ieiri Naoko said, "So, I win?"
She also deliberately spoke each word with emphasis.
Gojo Satoru choked and this time accused Baichuan Mu: "Aunt Mu, Gaozi has learned bad things from you!"
Bai Chuanmu, who had just made a lunch reservation, was puzzled: "Huh? Did Gaozi learn bad things from me?"
Although Bai Chuanmu didn't listen carefully just now and didn't know what happened specifically, she only had one thought...
Utaji, please don't cry! Nozomi won't be easily led astray! She's still a good kid!
"It's nothing, Sister Mumu, you don't have to worry about it..." Jiaru Nishiko shrugged. She paused, then continued, "I just had an idea. Since the Curse Jade is so unpalatable, can't we find a way to make Jie temporarily lose his sense of taste or weaken his sense of taste when he eats the Curse Jade?"
Bai Chuanmu said: "I have also thought of this method, but Jie's problem is not just about taste..."
"Huh?" Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Nozomi were both curious about this. They knew that Geto Suguru was in pain when he ate the Cursed Jade, but they didn't know the specific circumstances.
Xia Yujie's smile couldn't help but become a little bitter, but his tone was still quite gentle: "Curse spirits are born from negative emotions and grow from the dark side of the human soul. That disgusting taste is not mainly about the taste, but also about the soul. So even if I lose my sense of taste, I can still feel that disgusting taste. This is the taste that comes from the soul."
Bai Chuanmu blinked blankly, and suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed: "Ah..."
