The Goofy Spring Breeze Blows Everywhere, Geto's Sister is Truly Impressive Ch. 39

Toji pulled his scarred lips into a slight grin. "I just want to cut this squash."

Mahito, with his mismatched eyes, smiled slightly. "I just want to cut both of you."

Chihori coughed, then quickly blinked and cheerfully said, "What are you two saying?!"

In the end, Chihori left with that shopping list but decided she would pick up a few more things and cook a large Chinese New Year-style meal.

There was only one big supermarket nearby, but it wasn't far—she could take the bus there directly.

Pushing the shopping cart, Chihori's gaze swept over the shelves, grabbing the things she needed. At an intersection up ahead, a small figure suddenly emerged from the other side!

The silver-haired girl quickly slammed the cart to a stop, preventing herself from crashing into the black-haired child who had appeared out of nowhere!

The black-haired child seemed startled as well. He took a step back and then spoke: "...Sorry, it's my fault for not watching where I was going."

"It's fine, as long as you didn't get hurt," Chihori winked and comforted him. "Be careful next time, little sea urchin."

The black-haired child—none other than Megumi Fushiguro—paused in confusion, a question mark slowly appearing in his mind: Little... sea urchin??

He looked up, finally seeing the girl clearly, his eyes widened slightly. "...It's... you?"

"You know me?" Chihori was a little surprised, then paused and cheerfully said, "Yep, it's me, SpongeBob—!"

Megumi: "..."

Megumi: "...I don't know you. I just... saw you walking with that guy the other day."

"That guy?" Chihori tilted her head.

Seemingly reluctant to say the name, Megumi turned his face away and said flatly, "Toji Fushiguro." He paused for a second, then looked at Chihori. "My dad."

"Oh, you mean Toji-san!" Chihori nodded as if she had just realized something. "I thought you two looked alike, but it turns out you're father and son! Although, he's the introverted sea urchin type, and you're the outgoing sea urchin type."

Megumi: ...Is that the point? Please stop focusing on sea urchins!!

He took a deep breath and looked up. "That guy always spends his time out partying. I don't see him much, but I still remember a bit..." He paused again, eyeing the silver-haired girl. "I just wanted to say... don't let him fool you."

Megumi could tell the silver-haired girl was still young, and his sense of justice and responsibility as a kid made him speak the truth in this chance encounter.

He knew that his dad, although married into the Fushiguro family, still had a habit of gambling and going to different women's houses. But no matter how you looked at it, going after a minor was too much.

Chihori smiled and replied sincerely: "Don't worry, Toji-san is a good person. He's helped me a lot."

Her lively green eyes sparkled, and as she smiled, the vibrant energy she radiated seemed to push away all the gloomy weight of sickness. Everything was blossoming like fresh sprouts after rain.

Little Megumi pursed his lips, still skeptical. "...Really?"

"Yep, really! That's why I'm here at the supermarket today. I'm going to treat Toji-san for all his hard work," Chihori said with a smile.

Little Megumi paused for a moment and quickly caught the important point. "Wait, that guy's at your place right now??"

He really went to a minor girl's house! This was way too much!!

"...Didn't your family stop him?"

Chihori blinked. "I don't have anyone else at home."

Little Megumi Fushiguro: This is getting even worse.jpg

"By the way, are you really out here shopping by yourself? You're so young," Chihori said, raising the corners of her lips into a friendly smile. She stepped forward and extended her hand. "Come on, I'll hold your hand. How about you come to my house for a meal? It just so happens that your dad will be home today."

Little Megumi's expression grew serious. He grabbed Chihori's sleeve first and said, "What's that guy doing at your house? What's he doing right now?"

If that trash dad of his was really doing something inappropriate to a minor girl, Megumi figured it might be better to call the police.

"Hmm?" Chihori tilted her head and then honestly replied, "Toji-san—he's at my place, holding the Squash, watching Pretty Cure!"

Little Megumi Fushiguro: "?"

Little Megumi Fushiguro: "???"

Little Megumi Fushiguro's mind was filled with big question marks.

—Isn't something wrong with this picture!?

Little Megumi Fushiguro was caught in a moment of mental enlightenment. His head was filled with just one sentence, echoing again and again: "He's at my house, holding a squash plushie, watching Pretty Cure."

At the same time, a vivid image popped into his mind—one he couldn't control.

That vague memory of his deadbeat black-haired dad, leaning back on the couch with a pale green squash plushie in his arms, wearing a childlike smile as he watched TV.

On screen, a colorful magical girl anime was playing.

And when the show hit its dramatic peak, his deadbeat dad couldn't help but shout along with the transformation scene:
"Dual Aurora Wave—!"

...YAMERO!!
STOP THIS BRAIN!!!

Megumi was absolutely traumatized by his own imagination.

Megumi Fushiguro (with that face): I thought just being a deadbeat was bad enough. But now he's evolving into something even weirder? This is like a tadpole mutating into a frog—it's freakish!

This dad? Honestly, I can do without him.jpg

A sparkling "thought enlightenment" background floated up behind Megumi Fushiguro as he silently pondered:

What changed him? What happened to turn my deadbeat dad into this? Is this the collapse of morality... or a distortion of human nature?

System voice chimed in immediately:
[Let's dive into "Morality & Law: Strawberry Milk and the Squash Plushie"!]

"Anyway, let's go! Wanna come to my place for a feast, little sea urchin?" Chihori waved and smiled.

Megumi paused for a few seconds and said, "My name's Megumi Fushiguro."

"Got it, Sea Urchin Megumi!"

"It's Megumi Fushiguro."

"Understood, Fushiguro the Sea Urchin."

"...It's Megumi Fushiguro."

Megumi thought to himself:
What is this grudge you have against sea urchins?! Why are you so obsessed with them?!

Chihori coughed and stopped teasing him. She waved again and smiled. "Okay, Fushiguro-kun. I'm Chihori Geto. You can call me Sister Chihori, or if you prefer—Your Highness Dog-Headed Rose."
