Chapter 333: Chapter 242: Ambitious (8000-word goal achieved!)_2

Having already faced a life-and-death crisis, you’re still thinking about camping?

"You’re really calm," Beichuan Si sat outside the bathroom, gently shaking his head.

He was currently staying at Shen Gu Mirai’s house, having just taken a shower and put on clean clothes.

Inside the bathroom was Shen Gu Mirai, now humming a tune as she bathed.

Originally, Beichuan Si had planned to go back to his own house to bathe and change clothes.

But he came to Shen Gu Mirai’s house following Beichuan Hui Li’s suggestion, "My shower might take a long time, why don’t Brother Temple go to Sister Mirai’s house to shower and change clothes?"

Moreover, Beichuan Si had some things he wanted to say to Shen Gu Mirai, so he half-agreed to the proposal.

After all, he was just coming over to take a shower—

"Mr. Temple, are you outside?" Shen Gu Mirai, soaking in the bathtub, suddenly called out.

"Yes," Beichuan Si responded expressionlessly.

The reason for the current situation was that Shen Gu Mirai was a little scared, hence she let him stay outside the bathroom.

Considering the favor of saving Hui Li, Beichuan Si also nodded and agreed to what he thought was an utterly unreasonable request.

Acting as bait, hiding from evil spirits with Beichuan Hui Li...

These things sound easy to say, but are extremely difficult to do.

After all, Shen Gu Mirai was not a possessor of special abilities like Beichuan Si from the start.

But she had done it.

This time, Beichuan Si owed her a favor that was far too great.

"Mr. Temple... are you there?" Shen Gu Mirai seemed to enjoy calling his name.

"Yes," Beichuan Si simply replied.

There was silence for a while inside, then another voice came out.

"I have something I want to ask you, Mr. Temple."

"What is it?"

"It’s about the gift you gave me... that bracelet," Shen Gu Mirai looked at the Mouchi Stone bracelet placed on the other side.

Recalling the system’s prompt, Beichuan Si explained to Shen Gu Mirai, "The Mouchi Stone bracelet has some exorcism effects."

His tone of voice was always so calm; no matter how earth-shattering the event, it could not stir up the slightest ripple when spoken from his mouth, including this precious bracelet...

In Beichuan Si’s mouth, it seemed as worthless as a piece of cheap merchandise.

"This bracelet... it should be more useful to you, Mr. Temple, right?" Shen Gu Mirai didn’t want to see Beichuan Si get hurt during the exorcism.

Therefore, even if she was a bit reluctant to let go of the bracelet, she was willing to return it to Beichuan Si.

After all, Beichuan Si was the person who was always dealing with the hidden world.

"The bracelet is not particularly useful to me," Beichuan Si honestly answered.

But the more he said so, the less Shen Gu Mirai believed.

That was a bracelet capable of purifying evil spirits.

To have such a precious thing so easily given to her by Beichuan Si...

Shen Gu Mirai was somewhat moved.

After a long time, she softly thanked, "Thank you, Mr. Temple."

If it weren’t for Beichuan Si... If it weren’t for the Mouchi Stone bracelet.

The current Shen Gu Mirai might already be a corpse lying in a pool of blood.

Just for this, she wanted to express her gratitude in person.

For that reason, she shamelessly asked Beichuan Hui Li to find an excuse and trick Beichuan Si to come here.

If it weren’t for Beichuan Si—

"I should be the one thanking you," Beichuan Si’s usual tone interrupted Shen Gu Mirai’s thoughts as he continued, "The camping trip today was suggested by Hui Li and me; you were just a victim. You have no responsibility for what happened this time, so I thank you so much for caring about Hui Li."

Although Beichuan Hui Li was indeed the Beichuan Family "Salty Egg," she was also the Beichuan Family’s little angel. Like Nishijou Kurenai, she was an irreplaceable family member to Beichuan Si.

If she had really died in that place...

Beichuan Si decided that from now on, he would let Beichuan Hui Li carry a Voodoo Doll with her so that if she encountered any misfortune, she could ward off some of it.

Hearing Beichuan Si’s words, Shen Gu Mirai somewhat couldn’t help but ask, "If... I mean, if... Mr. Temple, if I had really died in that foreign house building... what would you have done?"

No sooner had she spoken than Shen Gu Mirai covered her mouth with both hands.

She knew she had spoken out of turn.

Where in the world are there so many "what ifs"?

And what does it mean to say that sentence? Asking this question is also completely out of the blue!

Even if she, Shen Gu Mirai, had died, what could Beichuan Si possibly do? Once dead, she’s dead, could Beichuan Si, vast and mystical as his powers might be, bring himself back to life?

Was he to harbor any other delusions?

Shen Gu Mirai felt truly shocked, otherwise, her questions wouldn’t have been so thoughtless.

Her face flushed red, and for a long time, she dared not lift her head.

After a while, the contemplative voice of Beichuan Si finally rose slowly:

"I suppose I would look for a way."

"Look for a way?" Shen Gu Mirai looked up.

"Yes, to find a way to bring you back to life." Beichuan Si had thought carefully before speaking these words.

In fact, the skill tree within the system did have abilities akin to resurrection or Cthulhu-related evil god rituals.

But they required a hefty amount of skill points and proficiency to perform a resurrection.

To learn such skills, resolving all of Japan’s ghost stories probably wouldn’t satisfy the skill points requirement.

But there is the whole world.

The tales of the supernatural in this world are vast.

Solving all those ghost stories might just grant the ability to resurrect the dead.

If Shen Gu Mirai were to die in that Western-style house because of Beichuan Huili.

Beichuan Si would likely traverse both domestic and foreign lands, spend time and effort, accumulating skill points to resurrect Shen Gu Mirai.

This was a sort of promise.

Shen Gu Mirai felt that when Beichuan Si spoke those words, it was a sincere promise. Suddenly, the bathroom fell quiet.

It took her a while to clatter up from the bathtub, then she wrapped herself in a bath towel and ran to the bathroom door.

"Open up! Mr. Temple! You open up! I want to hug you! Mr. Temple!" Standing by the bathroom door, Shen Gu Mirai blindly pushed at the door, her face turning red.

But the door had already been firmly held by Beichuan Si; she couldn’t open it.

Since Shen Gu Mirai was someone with a history of such behavior, Beichuan Si had come prepared.

"No." Beichuan Si held the door, replying emotionlessly.

"But I saved Hui Li!" Shen Gu Mirai couldn’t help but bring out her trump card.

"That’s a different matter altogether, and besides, do you really want to spend your goodwill on this?" Beichuan Si remained unmoved.

Normally, this young girl, Shen Gu Mirai, was very rational and smart, but when she got excited, she would act without thinking, just like now, reminiscent of her signature "I’m so curious" in its uniqueness.

In any case, this young girl would only regret it afterward.

"I just want to hug you, Mr. Temple! Just for a moment!" Shen Gu Mirai persisted.

She was clearly just too happy!

"Things that are not allowed are just that, once you finish bathing we will set off," Beichuan Si suddenly dropped his voice a few notches.

Hearing Beichuan Si’s voice, Shen Gu Mirai also felt a chill.

She cutely sneezed and then reluctantly agreed:

"I understand."

The plan to further her relationship with Beichuan Si had been thwarted again—

...

After that, Beichuan Si made a call to Sakurai Saki and the others to report their safety.

On the other end, hearing Beichuan Si’s words, Sakurai Saki and her companions finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the call, Beichuan Si accompanied the clothed Shen Gu Mirai out the door.

They first went to a sporting goods store to pay for the rented tents, then rented four tents along with matching sleeping bags.

The tents and sleeping bags were set up as three large and one small.

The girls would sleep two in a large tent and use large sleeping bags, while Beichuan Si would sleep alone in a small sleeping bag and small tent.

For this reason, under Beichuan Si’s inexplicable gaze, Shen Gu Mirai was lost for quite some time.

This young girl... was truly carefree.

Beichuan Si could only helplessly shake his head at the understanding of why she was feeling down.
