Chapter 116 5 Young Masters
"..."
Young Master Gojo couldn't help but swear.
He rubbed his head vigorously and said unhappily, "My uncle bought it the year I was born...at an international auction in Hong Kong City."
"They said it was to celebrate the birth of the 'Six Eyes' again in the Gojo family after hundreds of years'——" Gojo Satoru said calmly.
The three people opposite held their breath, and even looked a little nervous.
Gojo Satoru said casually, "Including the handling fee, it seems to have cost 630,000 US dollars—"
——That’s tens of millions of yen.
A heavy exhalation sound was then heard, mixed with a feeling of relief.
Su Ze turned around and high-fived Geto Suguru and Naoko in turn. His face was generous and calm, and there was a hint of relaxation as if he had survived a disaster.
——They are celebrating the great rescue operation.
The corner of Gojo Satoru's mouth twitched, "This porcelain bottle is mine...it's fine if it's broken."
"Capitalists are so hateful." Su Ze turned his head and looked at Xia Yujie.
"The young master is not in the same class as the common people." Xia Youjie responded expressionlessly.
"Hmm!" Glass nodded heavily in agreement with the two of them.
"Hey! You guys are going too far... I'm obviously being magnanimous and not pursuing the matter—" Gojo Satoru's cheeks bulged with veins and he clenched his fists in dissatisfaction.
Su Ze was calm and composed, reciting in a radio voice: "When capital came into the world, from head to toe, every pore was dripping with blood and filth."
Young Master Gojo is going to explode with rage.
"...You better have something serious to ask me." He said angrily.
"Oh!" Glass slapped his head and took out the real item he was going to deliver from his pocket - Gojo's new student card.
"...That's it?" He seemed incredulous.
"You can consider me a gift too—" Xia Youjie pointed at himself with a smile.
"Please open your eyes and talk." Gojo Satoru pouted and said sarcastically.
"Are you looking for trouble?" Veins bulged on Master Xia's smiling face.
……
(Note 1: “Capital came into the world…” This sentence comes from Marx’s Capital, which is a classic critical phrase.)
-
I have to say that Gojo Satoru is worthy of being a young master. The console in his home is even half a generation more advanced than the one in the game hall.
"How is it? Not bad, right? Nintendo's latest experimental model, sold in limited quantities--" He was a little cocky, and the game was skillfully operated.
On the monitor, he controlled Sharmi and beat the opponent so hard that he could not resist.
Geto Suguru next to him had a grim look on his face and was barely able to cope with Gojo Satoru's overwhelming attack.
However, Gojo's accumulated advantages gradually increased. He found the right time to launch a killing move, and Mai Shiranui controlled by Geto Suguru fell to her knees.
A big “K?O” is displayed.
——"The King of Fighters", a classic among classics.
Gojo Satoru hummed complacently and put down the handle.
Su Ze and Gao Zi, who were watching the battle from behind, couldn't help but feel regretful.
-
"So, you think sneaking in quietly is more ceremonial?" Gojo Satoru casually played a straight and then gathered the stack of cards in his hand.
"Pay attention to the wording, it should be more 'surprising'." Su Ze pulled apart the straight cards thrown by Gojo Satoru, pinched out a duplicate seven from it, glanced at him with disdain, and then threw it back into his hand.
Gojo Satoru whistled innocently.
Xia Youjie seized the opportunity and played his cards, winning the game in one go.
……
"Is this... a Swiss pastry?" Su Ze looked at the exquisitely presented pastries in front of him in disbelief.
He pointed tremblingly at the afternoon tea in front of him.
Gojo Satoru lay on the tatami in a beauty-lying position, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, saying, "Hmm, he was specially hired from Europe. It is said that he used to be the royal pastry chef in Monaco—"
Su Ze and Xia Youjie once again saw the disparity in the world.
"Here's Gyokuro tea from Shizuoka Prefecture—"
Gojo Satoru casually picked up the teapot beside him.
The two people were so sad and angry that they hugged each other and cried bitterly.
-
Gojo Satoru rarely felt so happy when he was at home.
These are all things he has seen and used since he was a child, but he is not the kind of fool who thinks "Why not eat meat?", so he fully understands his friend's amazement.
Moreover, in the world of sorcery alone, there are clear divisions of different classes. For example, there is a huge difference in resources between the sorcerers of the three great families and the common people, as well as in the ways of promotion and training.
"Hey, you guys, do you have any ideas for what to do next?" Gojo Satoru spread his arms and lay down casually.
After the big fuss, he was actually somewhat exhausted.
This is almost impossible for a special-grade magician, so it can only be a feeling of physical looseness...
"Hmm? There's still a long vacation left, so I'll just take on some ordinary tasks and subdue more cursed spirits... and I feel that the "domain" is just one step away from completion--" Xia Yujie sat down cross-legged and said easily.
"No, that's not what I'm asking... Never mind." Gojo Satoru did not correct Geto Suguru's misunderstanding.
——What he actually wanted to ask was "the future".
Su Ze keenly noticed his micro-expression and smiled: "You actually think about those things too?"
He bent over and sat on the other side of Gojo Satoru, with one leg raised. "I hate setting flags... so let's change to a safer way of saying it—"
Master Su, who is as steady as an old dog, carefully considers his words and tries his best to avoid those mysterious "feudal superstitions".
Glass sat next to Su Ze with her legs hugged.
The four of them sat or lay side by side, looking out the window at the same time.
The setting sun outside the house dyed the sky orange, and patches of flaming clouds gathered in the corners of the sky. The returning geese flew across the sky, staining the red clouds with black dots like ink, leaving behind a long and vast cry.
"Whoever has the idea of sneaking behind... the rest of us will beat that guy up—"
Suze tried not to use any defining words.
"……how?"
“It’s just so-so… but let’s leave it like this for now.” Gojo Satoru accepted it reluctantly.
Su Ze raised his eyebrows, which was considered as an admission.
The afterglow of the sun shone through the wooden window frames, stretching the shadows of the four people into long and narrow shapes, and reflecting them on the light yellow tatami.
……
The three of them did not leave the Gojo family mansion until the next morning.
Su Ze was still in the lead, and after he went out, he would meet up with Geto Suguru and Nishiko.
——Inside Gojo Satoru’s room.
“Shit!” Gojo Satoru slapped his head.
Nishiko and Geto Suguru looked at him.
"I forgot to tell Heze about Miss Yang - she has always been very good at hiding..."
Gojo Satoru actually felt a little guilty.
Su Ze wanted to do the same thing as he did when he came here. He bent down, held his breath, and walked silently. Then he turned the corner briskly - and then he saw a lady in a kimono, with her hands folded on her lower abdomen, bowed slightly, and looked respectful.
Master Su, who had gone out to explore the way ahead, was sweating profusely.
"Um... that..." He tried to argue.
"Thank you for coming to accompany Master Gojo—" She was the first to finish the matter. "…Thank you again."
As soon as he heard the voice, Su Ze remembered it - this was the lady who asked at the door yesterday.
——An ordinary person.
But the power of the spell on her is very low, and it is difficult to detect without careful observation.
Master Su, who thought he was familiar with the process, actually capsized in a ditch.
She looked respectful, leaned over and said lightly: "I will take you out through the small path, which is considered the secret path of the five young masters——"
Su Ze smiled awkwardly, scratched his cheek and followed her.
