Aikawa Kaze and the Ohgamis had all called ambulances without even coordinating. Anyone unaware of the circumstances might have thought some serious accident had happened at the dojo!
Leaving aside the commotion when the two ambulances met, Satoru Gojo's financial superpower smoothed everything over. Even after learning it was a false alarm, the generously tipped staff left without a single complaint.
When Aikawa Kaze arrived, he unexpectedly found none of the tense confrontation he had imagined. Instead, Satoru Gojo and Sakura's father had their arms slung around each other's shoulders, drinking and eating sweets and snacks.
Of course, Sakura's father had a few bandages wrapped around him, but his injuries didn't look serious.
Gojo Sensei had actually learned to go that easy?
Aikawa Kaze was a little surprised. Before he could greet them, Satoru Gojo raised a hand and waved it downward, beckoning him over as though calling a puppy.
"Over here, over here~~ Kaze-chan, come on! Come show us what you've got!"

"Uncle, Auntie, it's been a while."

Mrs. Ohgami smiled faintly and took his hand gratefully.
"Thank you for saving Sakura so many times."

Satoru Gojo was entirely sincere when he said that.
"I learned quite a bit."
"Oh, not at all. It's embarrassing, really. Your fighting skills put mine to shame, Gojo."
Uncle Ohgami rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and laughed heartily.
At those words, Aikawa Kaze understood
