Chapter 943 Special New Year 3
In the office of the sanatorium center, Kenji Hagiwara was huddled in a corner, doing something furtively.
It's evening now, but most people are still working overtime.
Gojo Satoru had gone on strike to buy a cake, and he even dragged Geto away with him.
"What should we eat tomorrow..." Namikaze Minato was looking at restaurants with Uzumaki Kushina. Tomorrow was New Year's Day after all, so they had to take some time out to have a good meal.
But at this point in time, the only restaurants open are basically high-end hotels.
It’s not that they are reluctant to spend the money, but they don’t really want to eat those exquisite dishes.
If I do it myself, I really don’t have the time.
For safety reasons, they basically cook their own meals in the sanatorium. Furutani Rei sent two chefs to cook for them when they don't have time to cook, but the chefs are on vacation now.
Yukiko Kudo originally volunteered to cook, but asking her to cook for so many people was really too much to ask, especially since there were not many people among them who were good at cooking.
In fact, they can go to convenience stores or supermarkets to buy ready-made bento, but it is not certain whether there are any stores open now.
At least there are no stores in the suburbs where they live.
There were some food in the warehouse of the sanatorium, but it was basically just some biscuits, milk and the like.
"Kenji, I'm going to Ryusei Garden to see Aiko." Oda Sakunosuke tidied up the things on the table and put on his coat.
The sneaky Hagiwara Kenji shook his body and jumped up: "I want to go too!"
"How do you know Aiko is in Meteor Garden? Didn't she go out to play with Saiki-kun?" Noriaki Kakyoin remembered that yesterday, Aiko Gojo seemed to be in a different world with monsters.
"Because Aiko's location on the communicator is in Meteor Garden." Oda Sakunosuke pointed to the communicator on his ear.
He wants to eat spicy curry rice tomorrow, so he plans to go back to Meteorite to get some ingredients, but he unexpectedly discovers that Gojo Aiko's location has changed from "Unknown" to Meteorite.
This means that she is no longer in the other world, but in Meteor Garden.
Although I'm not sure whether she has come back or just returned to Meteor Court temporarily, anyway, she is in Meteor Court now, so I'll go and check on her situation.
"They seem to be in a different world every day." Caesar also noticed the changes in Gojo Aiko's location. Although the location in the unknown world is displayed as "unknown", there is actually a number like garbled numbers on the location. Although it is unclear what it means, the number is different in different worlds.
So they can guess that Gojo Aiko is in different different worlds based on the different numbers.
Most importantly, there is a "historical record" that allows you to directly see the numbers of the other worlds that Gojo Aiko has visited.
Moreover, this historical record is updated in real time. It is estimated that Saiki Sorasuke writes the data in the background. When you first see it, there is only a string of garbled numbers, but the length is the same. Later, these numbers have different lengths and are rearranged.
"After we go back, I can listen to Aiko's stories about adventures in other worlds." Butterfly Kanae took a sip of wisteria tea. "Well, the wisteria tea is almost finished. I should go back to Meteor Garden."
"Then let's go and see what Naruto and Sasuke are doing!" Uzumaki Kushina was quite curious about how Naruto and Sasuke's training was going.
She originally thought that Naruto and Sasuke would follow Gojo Aiko and Saiki Kusuo to adventure in another world, but they actually said they had training and decided not to go together.
"How about we go to Meteor Garden now and make lunch boxes for tomorrow?" Chiba Erzhixi thought that they should just go back to Meteor Garden together.
"But how do you explain the fact that we disappeared together?" Rengoku Kyojuro said that Conan next door was keeping a close eye on them and often came to find them.
And because of the Black Organization, sometimes suspicious people would appear near the sanatorium in the middle of the night.
In short, they couldn't leave the sanatorium for a long time, let alone leave together.
"Well, how about asking Mr. Zhongli for help..." Chiba Erzhixi wanted to eat some Teyvat cuisine, or he could secretly ask Manye to send some food over~
"I'm a little embarrassed..." Kanae Kocho also missed Teyvat cuisine a little. The food they cooked themselves was always not as good as the locals'. This kind of food that they might not be able to eat once a year always made people miss it.
"Forget it, let's just eat some bread." Matsuda Jinpei shrugged indifferently. Anyway, he thought that the best thing was to finish the work early and go home early.
"But I miss Aiko..." Kenji Hagiwara huddled on the sofa pitifully.
"What have you been looking at since just now?" Jinpei Matsuda moved closer speechlessly and found him flipping through a photo album.
"It's a photo of Aiko." Kakyoin Noriaki also came over.
"Aiko has grown up without us noticing." Kenji Hagiwara even found it a little difficult to count Aiko Gojo's age.
Aiko Gojo was originally very young, but her experience of adventuring in the other world made her grow faster than her peers, so it is really difficult to calculate exactly how old she is now.
But she has definitely caught up with her classmates. She has made up for the age difference caused by skipping a grade, and her actual age may even be older.
But she probably hasn't reached adulthood yet, because her super powers haven't matured yet.
"It would be strange if she didn't grow up." Matsuda Jinpei felt that Gojo Aiko was in her growth period. Children of this age group grow very fast. In a few years, she would reach adulthood.
Although it is not said that young children always change every year, in fact, older children also change every year.
Even adults sometimes change from year to year, because life always brings about various changes in people.
"Is it because we haven't changed much that we think Aiko has changed so much?" Noriaki Kakyoin also felt that Gojo Aiko was growing very fast, but they would never change again. Even if they did, it would be due to the disguise of super powers.
"Ha, are some people already 30 years old?" Matsuda Jinpei suddenly thought of Furuya Rei, this guy is about to become an "uncle".
"It's such a magical feeling to think that my beloved son will grow up..." Kenji Hagiwara found it a little hard to imagine that the child who could still sleep in the same bed had become an adult in the blink of an eye.
"Maybe she will be taller than you in the future." Kocho Kanae is already shorter than Gojo Aiko.
"Suddenly, I feel a bit like experiencing what it's like to become an old grandfather and look at my beloved son..." Kenji Hagiwara touched his chin.
"By that time, Aiko will be not young anymore." Oda Sakunosuke reminded them not to forget that Gojo Aiko's age is not that much different from theirs.
After all, among these people, there are some who could become fathers of beloved children if they were just a few years older.
