The Story of Gojo Satoru's Youth 21

Title: Help Me, Satoru-chan~

“I haven’t seen Satoru-chan in a long time...”

Sayuri seemed nostalgic as if she suddenly remembered something.

Hearing her mother’s sigh, Eriri trembled, then became even more irritated.

“What are you talking about, Obasan! I’ve never seen him!”

Seeing her daughter’s explosive reaction, Sayuri showed a proud smile on her lips.

Sure enough, teasing her own daughter was the most enjoyable thing.

“Eh? That’s all. I thought Eriri met Satoru-chan.” Sayuri continued to tease.

“No... We haven’t contacted each other for years, how could we meet...”

At the end of her sentence, Eriri’s voice became softer, as if she was thinking about the misunderstanding with Satoru, and her eyes became a little dim.

Sayuri looked at her daughter, who seemed as pitiful as a Chihuahua, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness in her heart.

Of course, she knew the source of the conflict between her daughter and Satoru.

She was truly puzzled about how to resolve this issue.

After all, the cause of the incident was indeed a misunderstanding, but the misunderstanding was not entirely her daughter’s fault.

To be fair, she actually sided more with Satoru.

However, since Eriri was her flesh and blood, how could she sit back and ignore her?

“Alright, Eriri, go do your homework first, and I’ll prepare dinner.”

Seeing her daughter’s depressed look, Sayuri decided not to tease her any longer.

“Um...”

Eriri answered softly, then walked towards the second floor and returned to her room.

“Sigh...”

Watching her daughter leave, Sayuri could only let out a soft sigh.

Honestly, based on her understanding of the matter, if Eriri could sincerely apologize, Satoru definitely wouldn’t take it to heart.

However, this child was too tsundere and stubborn, and at the same time worried that Satoru wouldn’t forgive her, so she hesitated, which ultimately led to the embarrassing situation between them. Sayuri watched Eriri as she walked up the stairs. She didn’t look back until she entered her room and closed the door.

Then, Sayuri took out phone from her pocket, clicked to open the address book, and slid her finger to the contact labeled “Satoru-chan” and stopped.

After the call connected, a very familiar male voice to Sayuri was heard from the receiver.

“Hello, this is Gojo Satoru, what do you want from me?”

Hearing the rude tone on the other end of the line, Sayuri wasn’t angry, but instead smiled gently.

“Fufu, after all this time, Satoru-chan, your character still hasn’t changed at all.”

“Oh, it’s Sayuri-san. What’s up?” Satoru said in a relaxed tone.

When he heard it was someone he knew well and was an elder, Satoru also restrained himself a bit and his tone became gentler.

“Nothing, Onee-san just suddenly remembered that I haven’t seen Satoru-chan in a long time, so I called to check on you over the past two years.”

“No problem. Didn’t I just go to Shuchi’in Academy for school today?” Satoru replied with a smile.

He was indeed a little surprised that Sayuri suddenly called him, but he didn’t show much of his surprise.

“Eh, did Satoru-chan also come to Tokyo?”

Sayuri seemed surprised, with a slight tone of “surprise” in her voice.

“Well, I’ve been here for half a month. I met a friend who studies at Shuchi’in Academy two days ago. Although I self-study quite a lot, I decided to go to Shuchi’in Academy after thinking it over.”

Satoru explained, a mischievous smile on his face.

“Fufufu. That’s just like Satoru-chan.”

Sayuri didn’t mean to blame Satoru, but found his behavior very interesting.

She knew that Satoru had always been a free and unconstrained person, and this personality also gave him insights and a unique way of handling many things.

“But Shuchi’in Academy, huh, Eriri is also at Shuchi’in Academy~”

When the conversation reached the topic of school, Sayuri immediately stopped teasing and got straight to the point.

Hearing the other party say this, how could Satoru not understand the purpose of the call? However, regarding Sayuri’s intention, he didn’t think it was excessive to ask.

After all, Satoru didn’t pay much attention to the incident when he was a child. In the final analysis, it was just a misunderstanding between children due to their lack of sense.

As an “adult” how could he, Gojo Satoru, take a child seriously?

“Oh~ the little crybaby, I saw her today. She’s in the same class as me. Didn’t the little crybaby tell Sayuri-san?”

Satoru pretended not to know Sayuri’s intention and replied in a relaxed tone.

“Satoru-chan and Eriri in the same class? Our Eriri didn’t even tell me.”

Sayuri was genuinely surprised this time, but she felt a little relieved to hear her daughter was in the same class with him.

At least for Eriri, who always failed to take advantage of opportunities, the odds were better, right?

Her daughter was the type to almost reach the end, cross the line, and then suddenly bring it back to the starting point.

Thinking about it made Sayuri’s head hurt.

If it weren’t for her being a great mother, there wouldn’t be any chance of things going well at all. It would be a total loss.

“Really, the little crybaby didn’t tell you?” Satoru pretended to be confused and said.

“Mn, she was very depressed as soon as she got home. I thought someone was bullying her.”

“Can I ask Satoru-chan to take care of Eriri at school?”

Satoru smiled upon hearing this.

“No problem, leave it to me.”

Hearing Satoru agree to the request, Sayuri smiled faintly, knowing her plan had succeeded.

“Then, Onee-san can rest assured and leave it to Satoru-chan~ Remember to come to the house to play when you have time. Satoru-chan knows the address, right? Onee-san will go and comfort Eriri first.”

“No problem, I know the address. I’ll visit in two days.”

After hanging up the phone, Sayuri smiled lightly.

Through the conversation, Sayuri clearly felt that Satoru didn’t care at all about the mistake her daughter made back then.

See, wasn’t it very simple?

She didn’t understand how her daughter delayed such a simple thing for more than ten years.

On the other end of the phone, Satoru also had a smile on his face.

“I remember that little crybaby didn’t dare to look at me because she made a mistake, right?”

How could he, with the Six Eyes, not know about Eriri secretly watching him today?

As for why he didn’t take the initiative to greet her, Satoru didn’t want to admit that he was interested in Megumi because he found her intriguing and forgot to greet Eriri.
