Megumi looked serious and pulled Tsumiki, "Let's try to call the police."
"But... I'm so scared if we're not sure he's gone."
Just then—
Bang!!!
The window behind them made a loud bang. The two children jumped in place in fright, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
They turned around and saw that white head appearing again in the window behind them, making a grotesque grimace at them, "Nyah~~~"
Open~~~ the door!
The two children threw pillows at the window, and they also pulled down the curtains, trying to call the police. Gojo Satoru had no choice but to tear down one of their windows. In the children's terrified eyes, he walked in and pulled out the phone line, getting straight to the point, "Pack your bags. You're going to live somewhere else."
After tearing down people's windows, pulling out their phone lines, and scaring their children, he acted like a normal person.
However, the children didn't relax their guard because of this.
"Who are you?!"
"Someone your dad knows."
Tsumiki asked cautiously, "Then, do you know his name?!"
"Ah... I think his name is Toji Fushiguro. He has a scar here, and he looks a lot like this little guy. Oh, right, I think he used to be called Zenin?"
Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki Fushiguro cautiously looked at each other.
Toji Fushiguro hadn't been back to see them for a long time. If this person was a scout for human traffickers, he wouldn't be able to recognize their father's appearance, let alone know about their father.
Tsumiki Fushiguro asked him, "Are you—his friend?"
"No, I only have one friend, named Suguru Geto. I don't accept anyone else as my friend."
Tsumiki pressed, "Then what's your relationship? Colleagues?"
"If you really want to know... Oh, a bloody relationship!"
Megumi Fushiguro asked, "An enemy?"
Gojo Satoru modestly waved his hand, "Not really, not really. He stabbed me in the head and tried to kill me, but I immediately killed him back, so it's even. We're not really enemies."
The children felt uneasy.
Stabbed? Killed back? What does that mean?
Megumi Fushiguro asked him, "Then where is Dad now?"
"Well..."
Heaven? Hell? Who knows?
Gojo Satoru smiled, "He went to a faraway place and will never come back, so you're going to live somewhere else."
[TL: Damn dude wtf you doin, traumatizing these kids.]
The two children fell silent. After a long while, Megumi Fushiguro asked, "Did he... completely abandon us?"
Gojo Satoru thought for a moment, "Not completely abandoned, I guess. At least he tried to give you a different choice before he left. Anyway, go pack your bags. Bring everything you want to bring. I'll take you to a new place to live."
"..."
"Don't want to go? If you stay here, you'll die."
If this pair of siblings went to their original middle school according to the original story's development, Tsumiki would be in danger.
"It's not impossible for you to stay here, but your dad would probably rather you leave with me. At least you won't be cursed to death without knowing it."
Cursed to death...
Tsumiki and Megumi thought, This guy keeps saying scary things.
They looked at each other and saw a hint of dejection in each other's eyes.
They were abandoned by their father.
At two o'clock that afternoon, Suguru Geto rushed into a restaurant.
Yes, this was the same restaurant he had taken Nanako and Mimiko to not long ago, located in Tokyo.
He pushed open the door and saw Gojo Satoru sitting in the corner, stuffing his face, and two children sitting opposite him, watching Gojo Satoru eat.
"Geto!" Gojo Satoru waved his chopsticks, "Over here, over here!"
They had clearly had that kind of conversation before they parted ways, but when they met again, this guy was acting like nothing had happened.
Suguru Geto walked over with a cold expression and sat down next to him.
He saw that Gojo Satoru had already finished a plate of pork cutlet rice. This bowl of beef rice was his second bowl. Looking at the two children opposite him, who were carrying backpacks, their omurice hadn't been touched. Obviously, the two children were just watching Gojo Satoru eat.
They were children he hadn't seen before.
Suguru Geto's gaze fell on the face of one of the boys. He felt like he had seen this face before.
Gojo Satoru pointed at Megumi Fushiguro while eating, "Doesn't he look like him?"
Suguru Geto couldn't remember who the kid looked like for a moment, but the sense of déjà vu was strong, so he nodded, "They are—"
The girl spoke a little shyly, "I'm Tsumiki Fushiguro. This is my younger brother, Megumi Fushiguro."
Fushiguro...
Suguru Geto frowned slightly.
He lowered his voice and asked the guy next to him, "Gojo, Fushiguro, isn't that that guy?"
Gojo Satoru calmly said, "Ah, the one who was ground into dust."
"...Don't say that in front of the kids." Suguru Geto rubbed his temples, realizing something even more headache-inducing had happened, "I didn't expect that kind of guy to have children. But what did you bring them here for?"
Gojo Satoru grinned evilly and told him, "You're going to raise these two from now on."
Suguru Geto: "..."
Was his partner suddenly on some strange mission lately? Was he going around Japan, finding children of the right age and leaving them for him to raise?
Suguru Geto was silent for a moment, continuing to say with a cold face, "I'm not a kindergarten teacher."
"Don't be so stingy, Geto. It's the same whether you herd one sheep or a whole flock. But this situation is a bit more troublesome. His dad sold him to the Zenin family, so if you want to raise him, well... you'll have to wipe out the Zenin family first."
Suguru Geto: "..."
Let alone whether the child's father's act of selling the child was legal, wiping out a family just to raise someone else's child sounded a little too rude.
Gojo Satoru slapped his thigh, "Speaking of which, Geto, the Zenin family should have a pair of twins too. They'd be perfect for you to raise."
Suguru Geto couldn't tell if this guy was serious or joking. He couldn't help but ask, "Gojo, what are you trying to do?"
"Every time you see me, is that the only question you ask?" Gojo Satoru made a V sign with his chin, "I—am—darkened."
Suguru Geto: "..."
He's turned into a human trafficker who kidnaps children?
But he couldn't wrack his brains to figure out what benefit this would have for Gojo Satoru himself, or what reason he had to do it.
He sighed, trying to soften his voice, "Gojo, whatever you're trying to do, come back to Jujutsu High with me first."
"Why?"
"For those things before, whether you're making amends or thinking of other ways—come back. You can't really let them turn you into a curse user, can you?"
He always thought that one day, he and Gojo Satoru would become the most famous guys in the Japanese Jujutsu world. All the Jujutsu sorcerers and curse users would know their names, but definitely not in the way of becoming curse users, becoming wanted criminals.
Gojo Satoru suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Geto."
"What?"
"You, you can never save someone who rejects your help."
"..."
"Pffffffffffft, hahahaha... hahahaha... That's really true, isn't it? As expected of Gojo Satoru's self-realized philosophy of life~!"
Suguru Geto was trying to get Gojo Satoru back on track, but Gojo Satoru himself didn't want to return to the so-called right track. Just like the "Gojo Satoru" in the original story, no matter how far he reached out, the "Suguru Geto" in the original story wouldn't turn around and take "Gojo Satoru's" hand.
"Luckily, I'm not as heartless as you are, so don't worry, Geto. I'm not here to say goodbye. I'm here to tell you that everything is about to change—soon, very soon."
Suguru Geto's heart sank again.
The strange, crazy feeling about Gojo hadn't gone away.
And he was still excluded from Gojo Satoru's plans.
He looked pained.
"Why can't you just tell me what you want to do?"
Gojo Satoru said matter-of-factly, "If I told you beforehand, you'd be worried, and you might even feel pain."
