The Story of Gojo Satoru's Youth 27

Title: Lunchtime Shuraba (1)

“Nii-san, are you sure you don’t need my help?”

At this moment, Nino was lying in front of the kitchen and asked in a soft tone.

Satoru stood in the kitchen, skillfully chopping vegetables, and replied with a smile.

“No need, Nino. We agreed that I would cook today, consider it a reward for all your hard work!”

His voice was full of affection and tenderness.

Upon hearing Satoru’s answer, Nino seemed to want to say something more but was interrupted by him.

Satoru stopped what he was doing, turned around, and showed Nino a bright smile.

“Go play with Ichika and the others. Leave this to me.”

Seeing this, Nino had no choice but to nod and reluctantly leave the kitchen.

She knew Satoru’s character well. Once he decided to do something, he would put his heart and soul into it.

Watching Nino’s departing figure, Satoru shook his head helplessly, quietly sighing in his heart.

He knew very well how much the quintuplets relied on him.

While Satoru was focusing on cooking, the quintuplets in the living room were not idle either.

“Nino, how is it going?”

Seeing Nino approaching, Ichika immediately asked.

Nino nodded slightly and made an OK gesture, indicating that everything was going smoothly.

“Nii-san is preparing dinner in the kitchen. Judging by the time he’s spent cooking for us in the past, he shouldn’t be here anytime soon.”

“Great, then let’s proceed according to the original plan. Nino, you’re responsible for going to the client’s room on the second floor. Miku, head to Nii-san’s room;”

“Yotsuba, go to the utility room. The cabin in the outer courtyard will be left to Itsuki. As for me, I have to check the basement. Do you all remember?”

Ichika looked at her sisters and warned them seriously.

The four sisters looked at each other and then responded in unison:

“No problem!” *4

“Good! Then our ‘Vixen’ search plan is officially launched!” Ichika nodded in satisfaction.

“Oh!” Accompanied by cheers, the quintuplets marched towards their respective “battlefields.”

The quintuplets were unaware that Satoru’s power had undergone a startling transformation compared to half a year ago.

Therefore, all the noisy sounds they made in the living room were heard by him, without missing a single word.

“Let them go their own way...”

After shaking his head, Satoru ignored them and focused on chopping vegetables again.

Anyway, if the quintuplets wanted to have fun, let them enjoy themselves freely.

Moreover, few people visited here, let alone stayed overnight. There was no need to worry or be nervous about this.

Twenty minutes later...

The quintuplets returned to the living room.

“How did it go?”

Ichika turned to Nino and asked.

Nino shook her head slightly, indicating that she had found nothing.

“All the guest rooms have been carefully checked, and no traces of anyone staying were found.”

“What about Miku?”

Seeing that Nino had found nothing, Ichika then turned her questioning gaze to Miku.

“In Nii-san’s room, besides his own belongings, there were no traces left by others.”

Facing her sisters’ curious gazes, Miku slowly shook her head, then relayed her findings.

“So, Nii-san behaved pretty well this time! At least he didn’t let that evil vixen get close to our house~”

Upon hearing that nothing unusual was found in the living room or the bedroom, Ichika laughed happily.

She was secretly pleased in her heart, after all, if there were no problems with the guest room and his room, the likelihood of issues elsewhere was low.

At the same time, Yotsuba still maintaining her energetic state, reported cheerfully.

“Let me report, absolutely nothing was found in the utility room!”

Then, Itsuki also reported.

“Yeah, the same goes for the cabin!”

At this moment, Satoru’s voice sounded from the kitchen: “What are you all talking about over there? Dinner will start soon!”

The sudden voice startled the quintuplets.

They couldn’t help but feel nervous, afraid that Satoru would notice something unusual.

When it was confirmed that Satoru was only reminding everyone to start eating, they sighed in relief.

“Phew... it scared me half to death!”

Ichika gently patted her proud chest, trying to calm the fear she had just experienced.

Nino also seemed a bit frightened. She frowned and complained.

“Yes, Nii-san’s sudden voice really scared me...”

After calming down a bit, Ichika suggested.

“Since there’s nothing else, let’s grab the plates and chopsticks and get ready to eat.”

So, everyone nodded in agreement, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

“Wow, so rich! It’s been so long since I had Nii-san’s cooking!”

Yotsuba’s eyes widened, looking at the table full of delicious food with a look of surprise on her face, and she sighed sincerely.

As for Itsuki?

Wasn’t she the one drooling over there with a ‘want to eat’ expression on her face?

Itsuki stood aside, staring directly at the food on the table, even with suspicious liquid flowing from the corner of her mouth.

“Haha, Nii-san should start eating quickly. Otherwise, Itsuki’s drool will dry up~”

Ichika saw Itsuki’s appearance and couldn’t help but joke.

After hearing Ichika’s words, the others turned their gazes towards Itsuki.

At this moment, Itsuki was completely immersed in her desire for food and didn’t notice everyone’s gazes.

Only when she felt something strange in the surrounding atmosphere did she look up.

As soon as she looked up, she realized that everyone’s eyes were focused on her, which made her suddenly feel nervous and guilty.

“W-What? Why is everyone looking at me?”

Itsuki asked stammeringly, with a bit of confusion and unease in her eyes.

“Itsuki can’t wait!”

This time, Ichika spoke again.

At first, Itsuki was a little confused and didn’t understand what Ichika meant.

It took a full two seconds before she finally realized – everyone was laughing at her greed!

Upon realizing this, Itsuki’s face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at everyone.
