Edogawa Satoru who wanted to be a detective is not a good sorcerer

"Are humans social animals?" Dad asked him.

This is not a question for thinking, but a question for debate. Dad’s idea is that “humans are social animals”, and what Wu needs to do is to put forward reasons for agreeing or opposing views.

He subconsciously turned around to look for his brother, whose answers were always accurate and correct, so he just had to copy them. But his brother wasn't there.

If Wu is compared to a big bird entangled with stones, then Edogawa Ranpo is the invisible wind, free and unrestrained, with nothing that can hurt him except the wall that blocks the wind.

As long as Wu flaps his wings, he can fly on the wind.

"No." Dad stretched out his big hand, covered Wu's cheek, and looked at Wu at eye level, "You have to rely on yourself, you can't copy the answers."

Humph.
Edogawa Satoru thought to himself.
Why not copy the answer if you have it?
The unique stubbornness of children is a special kind of humor that makes everyone except themselves happy.

If we categorize humor, it can only be divided into two types: hurting yourself and hurting others.
Wu's crybaby nature and useless abilities mean he can barely be classified as the first category.

Come to think of it, Edogawa Satoru is also extremely talented in comedy.

It has been nine weeks since we left Yokohama.

As for the supervisor, he tricked him away by saying, "You'll see me at work soon. Why is there so much damn work?"
The man walked in fear and looked really pitiful.

The effect was so good that no one noticed that there was a person who looked exactly like Gojo Satoru in the Jujutsu World in the past seven weeks. He had not expected this...

He thought he would be discovered and arrested immediately, and then the Great Demon King Gojo Satoru questioned him why he looked like him. The high-ranking officials in the sorcery world rescued him, and while he was working for the high-ranking officials and fighting against the Great Demon King, he was also investigating his own life experience and discovered a shocking secret. This began Edogawa Satoru's adventurous life of beating up the Great Demon King while cultivating and leveling up.

It turns out that novels can be deceptive.

The reality does not develop like this. On the one hand, it says “Ah, yes, yes, yes” to Wu, while on the other hand, it acts “No, no”.

He pushed down the stack of cards on the table out of boredom. The cards stopped in the air for a moment and then collapsed. Behind him were iron cages that were climbing higher and higher. He could attach his magic power to the cages like charging electricity and lock his collection inside.

But, it’s been nine weeks.

The fact that his casual joke was believed so firmly was even more convincing than the perfect lie he had made up before, which was a slap in his face.

This kind of trust is more unpleasant than direct ridicule.

Why doesn't the famous intelligence outlet "Window" in the world of sorcery investigate it more carefully?
And what about Gojo Satoru? Didn't he pay any attention to the rumors?

Edogawa Satoru couldn't figure it out. If he couldn't figure it out, he could only take the initiative.

In fact, Gojo Satoru had heard a rumor a long time ago that there was an unregistered sorcerer in Tokyo who looked very similar to him and was exorcising cursed spirits. He planned to wait for the news he would get after the Supervisory Department came to visit him so as not to waste his time.

As a result, a supervisor named Ichiro Watanabe mistakenly thought that Gojo Satoru was deliberately causing trouble. He submitted a report and wrote "It was Gojo Satoru himself" and soon resigned to protect himself.

People who saw the report: ...Ah, I understand.

In addition, Edogawa Satoru moved again later, leaving the new supervisor confused by the empty house opposite and the unfinished snacks in the room.

By the time the news reached Gojo Satoru, it had been refuted and it was said to be a misunderstanding and nothing like it happened.

Gojo Satoru thought to himself, "You're kidding me," and then he was so busy that he forgot about it.
What is a special-grade corporate slave? This is it.

In short, watching the public opinion change from "a newcomer named Satoru is removing the curse" to "a smaller version of Gojo Satoru is about to enter the world of sorcery" to "Gojo Satoru himself is having fun again" and finally to "everyone kindly exits the rumor discussion area", Edogawa Satoru conducted a new round of reflection.

Today, he finally understood. [The adults are smarter than me, they must have discovered what I want to do, so they keep the same attitude. I am really bad at taking the initiative.]
Sure enough, waste is waste.

Edogawa Satoru was extremely sad. He looked left and right. While eating in the restaurant, he was touched by the harmonious family atmosphere on both sides and couldn't help but shed tears.

Soon the area was crowded with people, and the waiters and other elders were holding tissues and gently coaxing the child.

"Don't, don't coax me like this, burp," Edogawa Satoru burped, "I just miss my family, it's okay, I'm really fine, wuwuwu."

But the boy who smiled and said it was okay couldn't stop crying.

Everyone looked at the cute boy with pity.

He was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a dark purple sweatshirt. When he started crying, he pulled the hood down, revealing only his white hair and half of his face. He seemed to be very shy about being seen crying.

The sweatshirt he was wearing was one size too big, and the sleeves were too long for the boy. When he stretched out his hands, only his fingers were visible.

So he couldn't stop crying and could only grab his sleeves and wipe away the tears bit by bit.

When he looked up to thank the staff and the crowd who were watching, you could see that his pretty face was rubbed messy by him, with pink from the nose to the sides of the cheeks, and his blue eyes were still wet. After pursing his lips slightly, the boy said timidly, "Thank you, there's no need to be like this, I'm really fine, thank you so much for your concern."

How pitiful and adorable. The onlookers all commented in their hearts.

People patted his head lovingly, some enthusiastic people stayed to offer help, some people who pitied him bought some food and sent it to him, many girls took videos and photos nearby, but he stopped them and deleted them with red faces. The restaurant owner also thought the boy was likable and gave him a teddy bear and placed it on his seat.

So after crying for a while, the originally empty seat was suddenly filled with gifts and sticky notes encouraging the boy.

The boy returned all the food that could be returned, then thanked the people around him for the last time, put away the notes filled with his heart, and started to eat.

Gojo Satoru, Fushiguro Megumi, Itadori Yuji and Kugisaki Nobara who were standing next to them were all stunned.

Yuji Itadori asked first: "Teacher Gojo, is this your brother or illegitimate child?"
Kugisaki Nobara continued: "Teacher Xie, you were so cute when you were a child? Are you a biological abnormality?"
Megumi Fushiguro: "...Ah..." He seemed to have not come back to his senses yet, and there was an inexplicable confusion and disbelief in his beautiful eyes.

"It would be nice if there is one." Gojo Satoru patted Yuji's shoulder, picked up the stool and moved it to the side, "Little friend, are you interested in meeting him~"

Edogawa Satoru turned his head and found that it was the adults from the harmonious family next door.

"I'm not interested. My family taught me not to talk too much with strangers."

Gojo Satoru heard the people around him breathe a sigh of relief and retract their worried glances.

"But why are you crying? Why are you crying in public?" Gojo Satoru asked, he was really curious. He noticed that the people around him pricked up their ears to listen again.

Edogawa Satoru was stunned for a moment, with red marks still remaining under his eyes.

He looked at Gojo Satoru, revealing a trace of confusion: "You must be very happy. I am sorry that my pain caused the commotion just now, but sir, there is no need for you to do this..."

"I just saw such harmonious families around me and thought of my deceased family members. For a moment, I was a little overwhelmed."

The boy exhaled heavily, his eyes filled with sadness.

[I miss my brother so much. I miss my parents so much. I want to go home.]
He is also a social animal.
