Why Do Humans Marry?

At 5 o'clock.

Thanks to Eiji's presence, the number of people coming to the Onodera Family Sweets Shop was busier than usual.

Almost 90% of the customers were dominated by women who specifically came to see him after hearing there was a handsome young man here.

As a result, Nanako was very busy working and had no spare time to just chat with Eiji.

Kosaki and Haru, immediately helped their mother after coming home from school.

For the time being, Eiji's figure had become a mascot.

Of course, Eiji was very aware of this. Even though the women and housewives whispered, their conversations were still audible to him.

During the time he spent here, not a few high school girls or adult women boldly started conversations with him and asked for his contact number.

Eiji always considered women who judged men by their appearance to be shallow-minded, so he rejected every woman who came to him.

His cold attitude not only disappointed the women, but they even found it more impressive.

"Hm? Isn't she..."

Ignoring the covert glances of the women around him, Eiji, wearing earphones and scrolling through his phone screen, felt a bit familiar with the idol in the video.

"Ah, she's the idol Todo Aoi likes."

He suddenly remembered the eccentric muscular man who claimed to have an IQ of 530.

"Where does his confidence come from, even my IQ is only 139."

Out of curiosity, Eiji began listening to Todo's favorite idol songs. Besides, he had nothing else to do.

*🎶🎶🎶*

"Not bad."

After listening to one song, he felt that the song was quite enjoyable.

As he was watching another short video, a white-haired man with a blindfold suddenly sat in front of him.

Removing the earphone from his ear, Eiji placed his phone on the table and looked at the man across from him, who was smiling at him.

"Sure enough, you're hiding here, Eiji."

"I'm not hiding, Nii-san."

"Really? You can lie without changing your facial expression. Since when did you become a delinquent kid? Onii-chan is very sad~"

"..."

His cousin's pretend sadness made Eiji feel embarrassed in his heart. Especially in front of the women around him.

"Alright, let's stop this joke."

Next moment, a smile returned to Satoru's face as if the previous scene was just an illusion.

"To be honest, I admire your bravery, Eiji. You managed to make Yuki very angry in just one meeting. She came to me, asking for your location."

"Don't make fun of me, Nii-san. I don't know what I did to trigger her anger."

"You really don't know?"

"Um."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you have a good IQ, but your EQ is a bit too low."

"?"

Seeing Eiji not appear to be lying, Satoru felt amused yet funny.

"Alright, because I'm kind, I'll tell you the reason behind Yuki's anger. It's because..."

He deliberately paused his sentence, wanting to see Eiji's anticipation. Unfortunately, Satoru didn't get the result he wanted.

Expecting this, he wasn't too disappointed.

"It's because you called her aunt."

"That's it?"

Slightly tilting his head, Eiji looked surprised.

"Of course! For women, age and weight are very private matters. Onii-chan will teach you a little about women. First, don't call older women in front of them. Second, weight is a very sensitive topic, so never discuss it with them. Do you understand, Eiji?"

"Not really, but I'll remember it."

"Good, at least you won't offend other women in the future."

Satoru nodded satisfied, then took a drink from the table and drank it.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this."

"What?"

A mischievous smile on his cousin's face gave Eiji a bad feeling.

"For now, you better not go back to the dormitory and don't go to school either. Yuki holds quite a grudge against you, she's even willing to stay at Jujutsu High just to wait for you. Well, consider it a vacation, Principal Yaga has also approved this."

Honestly, Satoru didn't expect Principal Yaga to propose this suggestion. However, upon reflection, it was normal.

The clash between two Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers couldn't be taken lightly. Although they didn't fight to the death, the damage caused would be significant.

Principal Yaga didn't want the school environment to be damaged due to their clash. He understood Eiji's character well enough not to passively accept an attack.

"I see."

Eiji nodded without showing any objection. Instead, he was somewhat glad to spend his time outside rather than at school, which was quite boring for him.

With his current level of strength, attending school couldn't enhance his power growth.

"How long is my vacation?" He asked lightly.

"I don't know, it depends on how long Yuki stays at Jujutsu High. In my opinion, it won't be too long, she's not someone who likes to stay in one place for too long. Maybe at most a week?" Satoru shrugged, indicating he also didn't know.

"A week, huh... That's enough."

Taking advantage of his vacation time, Eiji planned to travel to another world.

"By the way, what's your opinion on marriage? Why do humans marry? Can't they just stay single? That way, there's no burden or responsibility."

"Why is Nii-san asking such a question?"

"Don't think about that, just give me your answer, I want to hear it."

Facing his cousin's absurd question, Eiji pondered for a moment.

He had never been in a romantic relationship, how could he know the answer?

For him, marriage was far from his life.

After a while, he was still silent. Lack of experience made him unsure of what to answer.

With no choice, he tried to find a solution from Lin Fan's memory.

His brain sifted through a lot of information in Lin Fan's memory like a supercomputer. After that, he decided to use the answer from one of the immortal beings.

"Why do humans marry? Here's my answer."

"Because they won't live forever, no matter how many achievements you make, how much wealth you acquire, and even if your name is recorded in history, one day humans will disappear just like that. Whether it's because of illness, injury, war, etc. And if you're lucky, you can live up to 100 years."

"But it's precisely because of that that the only eternal thing is love, even if your body is destroyed someday, at least this place has something eternal. That's why humans bind vows in wedding ceremonies to parents, teachers, friends, and even to the ring that symbolizes eternity."

"In sickness and in health, in happiness or sorrow, whether rich or poor, both individuals will love and respect each other as long as this soul exists."

"Is this answer satisfactory for you, Nii-san?"

Gojo Satoru: "😲"

Hearing the meaningful and philosophical answer, he was stunned and didn't respond for a moment.

Eiji had given an answer far beyond his expectations.

Satoru felt that this answer was not something that could be said by someone with as little emotion as Eiji.
