Convergence

Part 3 : chapter 2

Hello :)

Here is a new chapter

Again, I'm sorry for my English

.......

The scene was curious to see, even unbelievable.

Satoru and Utahime were shopping in one of the largest supermarkets of Tokyo.

Gojo, was proudly pushing a shopping cart, and was happily weaving through the aisles. It seemed like he had been waiting for this moment all his life! Beside him, Utahime was struggling to hide her embarrassment, and exasperation.

 Satoru had almost begged Utahime to come with him to do some shopping.

He seemed to take his new role as Megumi and Tsumiki's "benefactor/adoptive father" very seriously...(for the children whose father had been killed by him, it's important to recall)... Gojo wanted to buy them tons of toys, snacks, clothes, etc.

Utahime really had a hard time to recognize him; she never thought, not once, that the world's most powerful exorcist would be so involved in the well-being of children he had known for barely three or four hours. Anyway, she was there, not really knowing what her role was. She could only say goodbye to her usual evening activities.

As they were wandering through the aisles of the supermarkets, a young woman approached Satoru:

"Oh Satoru!! It's been a while ! How have you been since...?"

Satoru turned around, surprised and a bit confused (like he didn't recognize this person), then immediately put on his usual smile.

Satoru: "Ahhh hello... Rina, right?"

Woman: "My name is Lucy... Anyway, how have you been since??... Oh, I see you're shopping for your little nephews? That's really sweet of you!!"

Satoru: "Ahahaha no, not at all. It's for my son."

A silence fell. The woman finally deigned to look at Utahime.

Her gaze was filled with disdain and judgment. She looked her up and down.

Woman: "Ah... I didn't know you got married... so young..."

Satoru: "Ahaha yes!! An I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E honeymoon, on the beaches of the Bahamas, facing the sea with the moon and all!!! And the second one is on the way as you can see (he pointed to Utahime's belly - Utahime wanted to slap him but she held back). Really, being a father is so much work!!"

The woman said nothing. She was trying to understand this situation. Did Satoru really got married with this woman...? Really...?

Satoru: "Well, well... Lucy. It's not that we're busy, but we have to go. Have a good shopping, (...) and goodbye I guess?"

Satoru wrapped his hand around Utahime's shoulders, and he walked away from the young woman.

Utahime: "Alright, you can stop the act now. We're far enough."

Satoru: "Ahaha too bad. We were so cute like that, don't you think?"

Utahime: "Who was that?"

Satoru: "Oh, her. Just a girl I slept with. But I can't remember exactly when?... Last year, or last month?... (he pretended to think seriously about it). Anyway, who cares. Thanks for saving me. She was way too clingy (Argh)... You know the kind of girl that texts you like every day?! Can you imagine that, so annoying..."

Utahime didn't know what shocked her more about what Satoru had just said. The fact that he couldn't remember when he had slept with this woman, who was, by the way, objectively very beautiful and sexy! Or the fact that he found her clingy when she had probably only sent him four or five texts... Or perhaps it was the fact that he was sleeping with other girls ?!
