He took out his phone and first asked Akina if she had time. After briefly explaining his situation, Akina smiled helplessly.
Still thinking about his disciples?
Didn't he know how much Ginko and Ai had missed him over the past ten days or so?
Video calls weren't enough for them. Besides, those two together were a match made in hell; they would start fighting the moment they met.
Often, Akina found it very troubling.
For some reason, Ginko and Ai just didn't get along.
[Kaito]: That's the situation. After you explain the chat group to Ginko and Ai, let's have a video call later.
[Akina]: Okay. But there's something I can tell you. I pulled an A-Class special Transit Card.
[Kaito]: Huh? A special Transit Card? What kind?
[Hinatsuru Akina]: Mm... This card allows people outside our circle to use the Transit Card, to travel to other worlds together, etc.
[Akina]: Image.jpg
Curious, Kaito opened it and quickly understood the card's function.
That made sense. How could only chat group members and their children be able to traverse?
The friends and family of members were also possible.
However...
This required pulling the right card!
And the card Akina pulled had that function.
For example, the card first needed to be bound to a person, like Xiao Yunyun. After binding her, Kaito could take her to other worlds.
But points still had to be paid.
Each member traversed for 100 points, children for 50. For others, it cost 150 points per traversal.
The benefit of this card was that after binding, it was permanent. It was like being tied to the chat group system. She could always go along on traversals, or if she wanted to go to another world herself, Kaito just needed to confirm it and pay the points.
That way, she could traverse alone without needing someone to accompany her.
Seeing this, Kaito could imagine what the lower-tier special Transit Cards were like. They probably had usage limits, unlike this permanent one.
[Akina]: I was thinking, why don't I just bring them both over? They really miss you.
[Kaito]: Is that so... It's your card, so it's up to you. If you want to come, then come!
Kaito paused. From her reply, he only half-believed her.
The other half was naturally that Akina also wanted to see him.
[Akina]: So I also wanted to ask, would this cause you any trouble?
This was referring to Xiao Yunyun.
After all, all the ladies knew about the relationship between Xiao Yunyun and Kaito, but they didn't yet know about Kaito and Baal's situation.
[Kaito]: It shouldn't be too much of a problem. If it is, I'll just have to rely on being thick-skinned and push through?
[Kaito]: Well, actually, Xiao Yunyun and I aren't married or anything yet. There's been some other development...
After explaining the situation with Baal, Akina on the other side helplessly held her forehead.
For a moment, she felt like hitting Kaito with an "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" to subdue his "dragon", so he would stop leaving romantic entanglements everywhere.
But...
It wouldn't work...
Let alone a full set, even half a set was highly questionable!
[Akina]: Sigh... For the first time, I feel that the chat group's inclusion of you is a bit unpleasant.
[Kaito]: Ahem, ahem... What? I don't know what you're talking about?
[Akina]: Alright, Kaito... Although I'm complaining now, it's not that I dislike you. Besides, thanks to you, I now have a sense of security I've never had before.
[Akina]: Not to mention, you're so strong. If there are future parent-child activities requiring combat, I don't have to worry.
[Kaito]: Alright, alright, let's stop here. I'll make it up to you when I get a chance.
[Akina]: Mm...
[Kaito]: Since you're bringing Ginko and Ai, come tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up outside, and I'll use magic to teach you our language.
[Akina]: Okay. I should go tell Ginko and Ai. I wonder how shocked they'll be.
[Kaito]: Haha, they probably won't accept it at first, especially that Ginko.
Kaito smiled, chatted a bit more, coordinated their stories, and then turned off his phone.
"So, Xiao Yunyun, the video call didn't work out. But tomorrow, my two female disciples are coming, and I need to pick them up at the airport."
"Oh? Is that so? Should I come along?"
"No need, no need. I'll pick them up. You stay home and prepare a big feast!"
Kaito lightly tapped Xiao Yunyun's forehead, smiled, and then went to brief Baal, coordinating their stories. He also explained the situation to the Raiden Shogun and Beelzebul.
That settled the matter of Akina's visit.
"Kaito... if you play Go against Ginko and Ai, and I can't possess you in time... what will you do?"
Baal thoughtfully pointed out the key issue.
"Hmm... we'll figure it out when the time comes. Either you make an excuse, or I use magic to cover for you."
Unfortunately, he currently had various skills.
For example, Traditional Chinese Medicine, piano, driving, cooking, guzheng, handicrafts, forging, etc., etc...
He had many skills, but coincidentally, Go wasn't one of them.
Although he could play, if he played against Ginko and Ai, not only might he lose, but he certainly wouldn't be able to instruct them.
He wouldn't lose. If he got serious, he could elevate his thinking ability infinitely.
But what good was thinking fast?
He wasn't a Go master. He could only think of the next move, not the countless outcomes and sequences following it.
So, Baal would have to possess him to play.
Hmm...
Even gods had their specializations!
