[The Strongest Growth Plan is a raising simulation game with multiple endings. In the game, players take on the role of the head of the Gojo family. Amid rampant curses and corrupt higher-ups, they and Gojo Satoru grow together, facing a series of challenges, including the decisive battle in Shinjuku.
Choose carefully. Every choice you make affects the direction of his growth, and may even affect all of Japan...]
Affect what? Curious to give it a try, Sogo Taku moved his mouse toward a game called The Strongest Growth Plan, with an icon showing a little white-haired, blue-eyed boy.
The opening screen showed a redwood table. Beside it was an arrow labeled "Visit Little Satoru." Sogo Taku moved the mouse over the arrow and clicked.
In a beautifully detailed Japanese-style room, a little white-haired, blue-eyed boy stood in the middle of the screen. When he saw Sogo Taku enter, he called out reluctantly, "...Father."
So cute!
Sogo Taku could see every strand of his white hair fluttering gently in the breeze. He was amazed by the game's artistry.
And so began his boundless career of spoiling the kid...
Don't want to stay in the courtyard? Where do you want to go? How about I buy a plane and we fly to Okinawa together?
Don't want to practice sorcery? No problem! I just bought this "Mastery +1000" fruit. You can eat it after your game, Satoru.
Think your Japanese class is boring? No worries! I bought Japanese class capsules ages ago. How about we go to the amusement park this afternoon?
Sogo Taku played however he pleased and never checked the stats. He kept going until he'd spent all the starting funds, and a red message popped up: "Not enough coins."
Hmm, I'm out of coins...
Sogo Taku smiled calmly.
Time to pay!
Sogo Taku, head of Japan's renowned Sogo conglomerate, feared nothing.

Of the Big Three Sorcerer Families, the Gojo family was especially wealthy, with riches so vast their depths were unfathomable. Rumor had it they could buy half of Tokyo.
It was said they once chartered an entire plane and airport just to safely send the Divine Child to the Maldives for his birthday.
It was said that when the Divine Child started at Jujutsu High, they even hired a sorcerer assassin for ten million yen a day to act as his bodyguard.
And so on...
The immensely wealthy head of the Gojo family kept to himself and was rarely seen. He was often approached by people hoping to curry favor, but no one knew how to win him over.
When they asked people in the know, they always got the same advice: "Just make the Six-Eyed Divine Child happy. If you please the Divine Child, you please him."
**Little Scene:
The twelve-year-old Divine Child with white hair looked at the head of the Gojo family, who was lying in a rocking chair, and said, "The elders all say I have to become a sorcerer in the future."
Sogo Taku said, "You don't have to become a sorcerer if you don't want to..." He rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. "If you like studying desserts, you could become a pastry chef and spend every day coming up with treats to sell. If you like photography, you could become a photographer and take beautiful or boring pictures wherever you go. Becoming a farmer wouldn't be bad either..."
He rattled off all sorts of careers.
The white-haired Divine Child asked, "What I mean is, is the world outside always like this... so easy and fun?"
Sogo Taku chuckled. "Of course not." He ruffled the white-haired boy's head, warmth shining in his eyes.
"But for you, yes. It's like this."
Reading Guide:
1. The whole story is a heartwarming tale about raising a kid.
2. The game is similar to Pretty Girl Growth Plan on 4399 or Volcano Princess on Steam. You don't need to have played them to enjoy the story.
3. The protagonist is rich, but the author isn't. Apologies in advance for any inconsistencies, orz.
