Chapter 362: Chapter 257: You Are the Biggest in Bunkyo District... (4000 words)

After school in the afternoon.

In fact, Beichuan Si had not really explored Tokyo, and thus he didn’t know that in Bunkyo District, there was a department store specifically designed for student customers.

Unlike the typical second-hand stores, Japanese department stores, in a sense, are not much different in concept from China’s Wanda Plazas.

There are bookstores, stationery stores, restaurants, and also affordable clothing and jewelry stores targeting students.

Many students, clutching their mobile phones and carrying bags, sported youthful, vibrant looks.

They chatted and laughed with their peers, wearing clothes Shen Gu Shihui had never seen before, their faces made up with makeup.

The heart of Japan, Tokyo.

Here lies the most developed economy in all of Japan, and with that economy, comes the most popular trend information in all of Japan.

"...Where is this...?" Shen Gu Shihui whispered, hiding her form and floating beside Beichuan Si, opening her mouth slightly.

She looked at those young men and women wearing short shirts and gleaming, sparkling jewelry on their wrists, feeling as though everything before her eyes was challenging her own understanding.

"It’s a department store, basically a place to shop and eat," Beichuan Si explained, as simple and clear as ever.

The floor is so shiny... the lights above are so bright...

Why do the stairs move upwards by themselves?

The music is not played with traditional instruments like shamisen, taiko drums, or Shinra Bells, but instead, it is a particularly strange tune.

And those people moving back and forth without any avoidance...

After a while, Shen Gu Shihui murmured to herself, "Is this... life outside the mountain?"

Honestly, Shen Gu Shihui had always thought that life outside the Shenzhu Mountain Area should be similar to her life in the Shrine.

Even if not similar, it should not be like this; she basically understood nothing.

"Shouldn’t eating and shopping be in two different places...?"

"It’s more like a combined place for both shopping and eating."

Beichuan Si replied and then looked towards Shen Gu Mirai.

Shen Gu Mirai was looking at an electronic guide map placed by the elevator on the first floor,

"Mr. Temple, the place you want to go is the bookstore and stationery floor on the third floor, right?"

"Yes, let’s buy the things first," Beichuan Si responded.

Shen Gu Mirai touched her chin, her black eyes swirling, and casually suggested as if she didn’t care much, "Then, how about having a meal before going home? Or browsing around? Since we’re already here, it might be nice to buy something for Hui Li and the others?"

This suggestion wasn’t bad.

It had been two or three months since Beichuan Si had arrived in this area, and he hadn’t bought any gifts for Beichuan Hui Li.

Although Beichuan Si hadn’t skimped on spending money on ordinary days, he didn’t know what Beichuan Hui Li was up to, nor did he see her buying many new clothes.

And Shen Gu Mirai as well—

Thinking this, Beichuan Si nodded and said, "We can buy some things. Mirai, what do you want to buy? I can purchase anything you want as a way of thanking you for your trouble."

"Uh—what do I want?" Shen Gu Mirai, a flicker of delight passing over her pretty face, still pretended to decline, "Never mind, Mr. Temple, it’s just a small favor; you don’t need to buy me anything."

Hehe... What do I want?

This is Mr. Temple offering to buy me something; I should choose something not too expensive but tasteful.

While she was still pondering, Beichuan Si nodded his head,

"Oh, um, okay."

"???" Shen Gu Mirai.

Wait... I was just making a subconscious social courtesy!!! Mr. Temple!

But she couldn’t exactly say that to Beichuan Si, could she?

After all, Shen Gu Mirai knew Beichuan Si’s personality well; if she said she didn’t want anything, then Beichuan Si wouldn’t insist.

Shen Gu Mirai’s subconscious social courtesy just backfired on her.

"All right..." Shen Gu Mirai responded dejectedly, following behind Beichuan Si.

Meanwhile, Shen Gu Shihui, observing all of Shen Gu Mirai’s varied expressions, whispered into Beichuan Si’s ear, "Mr. Beichuan, I think... Miss Shen Gu... was just making a social courtesy... She still needs your... gift."

"I know," Beichuan Si answered inwardly, "I was just joking. Mirai should understand what I mean."

Yes, Beichuan Si was just joking.

He would still buy what needed to be bought.

Just a joke? Are you some kind of joking genius?

But seeing Beichuan Si’s confident expression, Shen Gu Shihui opened her mouth and glanced at the expression on Shen Gu Mirai’s face.

Did Shen Gu Mirai really understand?

The two of them, and the two spirits, took the escalator to the third floor.

This was the bookstore and stationery floor, but the books and stationery here were not like the traditional types selling only educational aids and pencils, erasers.

Most of the books recommended by the front desk clerk were popular among young people; there was also a bargain counter to handle unsellable books.

Light novels, detective stories, comics...

Only by going further inside would one start to see some traditional literature and educational aids.

"The Complete Book of Tongue Twisters should be in the practical language category, right?" Shen Gu Mirai discovered the practical language section at the back and walked over with Beichuan Si.

Regarding tongue twisters, there were many categories on the shelves.

Most of these books were prepared by students specializing in news broadcasting.

Shen Gu Mirai initially wanted to recommend a book called "Modern Broadcasting Tongue Twister Practice Complete Book" to Beichuan Si, but when she turned around holding the thick black-covered "Complete Book of Tongue Twisters" and looked at Beichuan Si, she noticed that Beichuan Si, deep in thought, was picking up a thin pink-covered book.
