I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

Just as a human wouldn't care about the sensation of stepping on an ant, she watched him struggle without a ripple of emotion in her eyes.

“I…” The elder’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his heart pounded wildly beneath his ribs, fear gripped his throat, and he could not utter a complete sentence.

Is everything heading towards despair?

until--

When the shoji gate was pulled open, a gust of wind was stirred up, and the wind chimes under the eaves suddenly started ringing erratically.

Chapter 140 Feeling better

Zhu Yu admitted that she was annoyed by this old NPC.

They call players over, and when that fails, they start trash-talking.

Do you know the right way to recruit? This is when you should unleash the power of money.

Ugh, this is so annoying, I might as well beat him up.

Just then, the white-haired NPC arrived.

He seemed a little angry, said something to the old NPC, and then pulled her away.

wait wait wait!

Are you here to save him?

The player asked a question, puzzled.

The white-haired NPC stared wide-eyed, shocked, and began to explain.

Okay, at least they weren't here to stop her.

The player pressed down on the white-haired NPC, signaling him to wait a moment, and then, under his questioning gaze—

He turned around, went back to his room, and beat up the old NPC.

Ah, that feels so good.

The player swaggered out of the room, straightened his clothes, and waved to the waiting white-haired NPC.

"Let's go."

Wu Tiao Wu led Zhu Yu through several corridors until they were sure they had shaken off all eyes and ears, then suddenly stopped. He had his back to her, and his shoulders began to tremble unnaturally—at first he tried to hold it in, but later even his hair started to shake.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!"

He turned around abruptly, and his sudden laughter startled all the birds in the courtyard.

His attempt to maintain an aristocratic air upon returning to the dull Gojo family home completely crumbled, and he laughed unrestrainedly, even managing to squeeze out two tears from the corners of his eyes.

"That old man has probably never looked so disheveled in his life." He laughed so hard he bent over, supporting himself on his knees, oblivious to the dust caked on the hem of his haori. "His face looked like it was covered in mud! Hahaha..."

Gojo Satoru never expected that what he had been worried about—that Zhu Yu would be made things difficult for him—would be a completely different scene from what he had imagined when he rushed over to save the day.

With the roles reversed, the old man was trembling with fear.

Speaking of which, those old guys really haven't changed their ways. They even deliberately transferred him away to make trouble.

It's true... Gaozhuan has been coming back less often this year, it seems the family members have more ulterior motives.

Does he seem to have a good temper?

The curve of Gojo Satoru's drooping eyelashes perfectly concealed the emotions in his eyes, with only his slightly furrowed brows revealing a hint of turmoil in his thoughts.

With a blink, all emotions are gathered together.

Gojo Goshin stood up, his usual relaxed expression restored.

"He must be using the 'Gojo family' thing to pressure you."

"Ha, luckily you don't fall for that at all!" Gojo Satoru turned his head, his lips curling into a wild grin. "Anyway... well done!"

Well, that's a very bold move.

It was very satisfying, though. As for the consequences...

He suddenly pressed down on Zhu Yu's shoulder, and the casual smile that had always been in his eyes vanished, replaced by a sharp glint.

"Don't worry, he won't bother you again."

The old man, half-buried in the ground, should just stay put and not bother his good comrades anymore.

It's infuriating that KOKO-chan was called away on her own turf.

As he thought about it, he subtly leaned closer, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "You must be bored these past few days, right? How about I take you to see some real stuff?"

Throw out the bait.

Instantly catch the bait.

Zhu Yu naturally agreed wholeheartedly!

*

The two hit it off immediately and left Gojo's house. Zhu Yu thought that Gojo's "seeing the world" was something "restricted".

result--

It's just going to an amusement park.

Zhu Yu sat on the roller coaster with a blank face, feeling the cheerful shouts of Gojo Satoru next to him.

Yes, amidst everyone screaming in terror, "Ahhhhhh!"

Gojo Satoru's "Hahahahaha—" was so conspicuous that it was no less than a white cat mixed in with black cats, and the white cat was not content to be left out, meowing.

Although in a sense, these kinds of thrilling amusement rides can be considered "restricted"—at least they are too low or too small to ride.

Wu Tiao Wu had a blast, and Zhu Yu followed him around—and had a blast too.

Gojo Satoru (laughing loudly): "Hahahaha—not as exciting as Jack's Rainbow Dragon!"

Zhu Yu (in a calm but sincere tone): "Waaaaaah!"

The person next to them: "......" What are these two doing here?

—Night falls

As soon as the carousel's colorful lights came on, Gojou grabbed Zhu Yu and rushed towards the most flamboyant unicorn.

With a long stride, he easily mounted the horse.

"Take a picture! Take a picture!"

He took out his phone, stretched out his arm to take a selfie, and made an exaggerated V-sign at the camera.

The carousel turned slowly in the night, its colorful lights casting a dreamlike glow.

Zhu Yu sat on the small horse next to him.

He held up his phone, leaning half his body towards his friend beside him, his hair fluttering gently like a bird flapping its wings.

The sound of a heartbeat resonates with the sound of the wind, slowly being tossed into the sky.

"Give me a smile—" he turned around and called out with a smile.

The photo freezes at that moment. In the background, blurry light trails create rainbow-like afterimages in the lens. Gojo Satoru scrunches his face, making a face, while Zhu Yu beside him slightly tilts her head, her eyes widening slightly at Gojo Satoru's sudden movement...

"Not bad, a very natural expression." Gojo Satoru was quite pleased with the photo he had taken. "But it would have been even better if you were smiling, [Kuko].

"It's okay, we can take it next time."

Zhu Yu leaned over to Wu Tiao Wu and glanced at the photos he had taken.

They seem very alive.

A really nice Easter egg in the game.

Gojo Satoru's thumb unconsciously rubbed against the screen.

The word "next time" is like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples.

For sorcerers, "next time" is a luxury; in this profession that witnesses farewells every day, it carries more weight than any promise.

Yet at this moment, she was so naturally planning for "next time," as if their future would continue in a splendid way forever, like time frozen in that instant in a photograph.

Perhaps, she has finally overcome that invisible barrier and come to her companions.

Those unformed tomorrows suddenly took on a concrete outline.

How cunning!

They made plans for each other's future.

but......

Naturally, we will continue to walk together.

Therefore, there can be many "next times".

"Okay, let's do it that way then."

He replied.

Moonlight streamed through the carved dome of the carousel, illuminating the two figures. Their shadows were stretched and overlapped by the moonlight, as if they had already formed some kind of invisible pact.

——【Congratulations on obtaining the CG —— "The End"】

Satoru Gojo quickly uploaded the photos to Line with the caption: "Ta-da! A super hot day trip to ○○ Park, an amazing experience with KOKO-chan~"

The comments section is buzzing...

Chapter 141 Welcome

The accompanying image is a neat nine-grid layout, with a photo of the two of them in the center, and the rest filled with Gojo Satoru's carefree selfies.

Gojo Satoru's Line contacts are all people he knows, and they quickly flocked to the comments section.

[Jay]: "Looks like he's having a lot of fun [smile]"

—Reply to [Jay]: "It was a great day [heart][heart], Jay, don't be envious~"

[Glass]: "It's that amusement park with good reviews. They really know how to choose a location."

—Reply to [Sharko]: "Of course, I did my research! ^-^"

[Singer]: "...Damn it, Gojo, why did you go out alone with KOKO-chan? [Angry]"

—Reply to [Songstress]: "KOKO-chan likes to play with me, isn't that obvious~"

......

Gojo Satoru quickly replied to all the comments, and in the meantime, he also saw that Yagami Masamichi's account had left a like.

Hmm, what should I do tomorrow?

He happily put his phone away.

After leaving Gojo's house, Gojo Satoru took Zhu Yu around, visiting various tourist spots.

During this time, he would wander around, and whenever he saw something interesting, Gojo Satoru would not hesitate to take out his money and buy it.

"Come on, best friends should wear matching outfits!"

Gojo Satoru argued vehemently, saying he had his eye on the unique style of the clothing store and urged Zhu Yu to put on the same clothes as him—a beach-style floral shirt and casual shorts.

He also made sure to put the same style of small black sunglasses on Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu: ...Is it getting dark?

The holiday flew by, and because Zhu Yu spent the last part of the holiday with Wu Tiao Wu, the two of them naturally went back to the college together.

When the two appeared before Natsuyuki and Ieiri Shoko wearing identical "relaxed" outfits, they both fell silent.
