The Story of Gojo Satoru's Youth 28

Title: Lunchtime Shuraba (2)

At the same time, out of the corner of her eye, Itsuki saw the suppressed laughter on their faces, as well as Satoru already laughing, which made her feel even more embarrassed and humiliated.

Suddenly, Itsuki’s pretty face turned red, her beautiful eyes widened, and she angrily shouted at Ichika.

“Ichika, that’s too much!”

“Ahaha, isn’t it because I saw Itsuki-chan and wanted to eat her...”

Ichika touched the back of her head guiltily and explained while laughing dryly.

“Hmph!”

Itsuki clearly didn’t believe Ichika’s poor excuse and turned around angrily.

At this moment, Satoru approached Itsuki, extended his warm hand, gently placed it on her head, softly stroked it, and comforted her.

“Stop bullying Itsuki, let’s eat quickly.”

Itsuki treated so affectionately by Satoru, couldn’t help but close her eyes and fully indulge in the pampering.

The four sisters who had just laughed at Itsuki couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy in their hearts when they saw this.

“Itsuki, it’s time to eat. The food will get cold soon.”

Nino unable to contain the jealousy in her heart, hurried to Itsuki’s side and pulled her away from Satoru without any explanation.

Itsuki immersed in happiness, was forcibly dragged away by Nino before she could recover.

“Eh? Nino, how could you do this...”

A look of disappointment immediately appeared on Itsuki’s face, and her entire body instantly became listless.

Satoru saw this scene and could only shake his head helplessly.

“Stop causing trouble and eat quickly!”

He extended his hand and gently stroked Nino’s head, and Nino reluctantly stopped.

Satoru and the quintuplets were sitting around the dining table. To his left was Nino, and to his right was Itsuki, followed by Yotsuba, Miku, and Ichika.

Initially, it felt peaceful, and everyone enjoyed their meal quietly, but then...

“Nii-san, try this~”

Ichika smiled and picked up a piece of meat, carefully placing it in Satoru’s bowl. This sudden move immediately caught the attention of the others.

Nino and Miku stared wide-eyed at the chopsticks in Ichika’s hand as they safely delivered the meat to Satoru’s bowl.

Not wanting to be outdone, Nino quickly picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Satoru’s bowl.

“Nii-san, I want to eat the beef in front of you~”

Nino pointed to a tempting plate of beef in front of Satoru and spoke coquettishly.

With Nino’s gesture, Satoru knew what she wanted to do.

Satoru first gave her a piece of meat, then gave a piece to everyone else in turn.

“Thank you, Nii-san~” Ichika smiled.

“Hmph!” Nino snorted coldly, seeing Satoru’s actions.

“Nii-san, thank you...” Miku whispered.

“Thank you, Nii-san!”

“Um, thank you… uhuk uhuk uhuk… thank you, Nii-san!” Itsuki who was eating wildly, almost choked.

Satoru handed her a glass of water, preventing Itsuki from choking to death.

“By the way, where is Rena-san?”

Satoru looked at the quintuplets and asked curiously.

Nino and Miku, who were about to launch a new attack, couldn’t help but freeze upon hearing this.

Yotsuba and Ichika’s initial attention was also drawn, and even Itsuki, who was eating, raised her head.

“Mother, she...”

“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”

Seeing their reaction, Satoru became even more curious.

They exchanged glances, and finally, Ichika as the eldest, stood up.

“Um... Mother went to complete a task given by father.”

“A task?”

Ichika’s words surprised Satoru. According to common sense, if there was something that needed to be done on the Japanese side, his father would usually entrust it to him.

Why was Rena-san asked to go this time?

“Leave it to me. Why do you have to wait for Rena-san to come and do it?”

Satoru looked at Ichika in confusion.

“That’s... because this mission is related to you.”

Ichika hesitated for a moment but decided to tell the truth.

“Huh? Does it have something to do with me?”

Satoru became even more confused.

“It’s about your engagement!”

Ichika finally mustered the courage to speak up.

“What? What kind of engagement?”

Satoru stared at her in shock, clearly not expecting such an answer.

He looked confused, having never heard that he had a betrothal since he was a child.

“This is something you decided when you were a child!” Ichika explained seriously.

“It’s just that father forgot to tell you! Only after we decided to come to Japan to find you did he suddenly remember and then asked mother to find the girl.”

Satoru’s eyes widened, and he asked incredulously: “Wait a minute, you mean, that old man found me a fiancée?”

Ichika nodded and corrected: “To be precise, the other party came to us on their own initiative.”

“Then, Rena-san went to find the other party to break off the engagement now?” Satoru continued to ask.

“No. Mother just went to ask the other party if they were willing to fulfill the engagement.” Ichika answered.

Hearing this, Satoru sighed in relief.

“That’s fine, as long as I don’t have to force the other party to fulfill it. After all, I haven’t even met her in person; it’s a bit awkward if a fiancée suddenly appears...”

❀❀❀

The sentence “I am willing” exploded in the air like thunder, causing people to look at her suspiciously.

“Eh? Alright, I understand, then I will inform Satoru-kun.”

There was a hint of surprise and confusion in Rena’s voice, but she quickly regained her composure.

“Alright, thank you, Rena-san.”

The girl’s tone was firm and sincere, her eyes sparkling.

“It’s okay. Although I don’t know why you agreed, I want to remind you that Satoru-kun is quite popular. If you really like him, you’d better take action early~”

The corners of Rena’s mouth lifted slightly, revealing a playful smile.

“I understand, Rena-san.” The girl nodded, showing that she understood.

However, Satoru knew nothing about all this.

After all, in his opinion, this was no longer an era where a person’s life could be determined by a single betrothal.

Free love and the pursuit of dreams are the lifestyles that modern young people aspire to.
