Chapter 400: Chapter 276: I Believe in You (4000 Words)

Shen Gu Mirai’s cold got better after just a few days.

Among this, Beichuan Si had played a role, as did Shen Gu Mirai’s own physical constitution.

Her physical fitness had always been excellent, consistently ranking first or second in the female group for running—after all, there were some athletics members in the school.

However, what troubled her the most was still the sentence Beichuan Si had said when he visited her home a few days ago, "I had already taken your temperature just before I came."

That phrase made Shen Gu Mirai feel rather odd.

There wasn’t an electronic thermometer in her house; they only used an ordinary mercury thermometer, and if one wanted to take a temperature—

There was the oral method, the underarm method, and a third method that was temporarily indescribable.

Considering the last method, Beichuan Si, despite lacking common sense, would not have used it, so the possibilities were the oral and underarm methods.

The underarm method needs no mention; it was frequently used at home.

But on that day, Shen Gu Mirai was just lying in bed wearing her pajamas, with no underwear beneath— if it was the underarm method...

Shen Gu Mirai herself would still mind a little bit.

But she quickly thought of the other person being Beichuan Si, and suddenly felt that whether he saw anything or not didn’t matter.

After all, he was Beichuan Si.

"Mr. Temple!" Shen Gu Mirai called out to Beichuan Si, who had already arrived in the classroom, her pretty face full of smiles.

"Mmm." Beichuan Si nodded slightly and glanced at Shen Gu Mirai, asking, "Is your cold better now?"

"Almost fully recovered!" Shen Gu Mirai cheerfully dragged her stool next to Beichuan Si, curiously poking her head closer, "What are you looking at, Mr. Temple?"

Beichuan Si tilted his phone screen towards her, allowing Shen Gu Mirai to see the text displayed on it clearly.

The screen of Beichuan Si’s phone displayed:

’Beichuan Divine Society, Tokyo Branch officially established!’

"Beichuan Divine Society?" Shen Gu Mirai looked surprised, "That’s not Mr. Temple..."

She quickly realized she had misspoken and hastily covered her mouth to correct herself,

"It says here it was established just these few days."

"Mmm. You were sick these past few days, so I didn’t call you over." Beichuan Si’s gaze shifted slightly, "If you’re feeling well, I can take you to meet Qiuxiao today."

"Qiuxiao? I remember that seems to be Great Ming Guangde Mage’s surname, right?" Shen Gu Mirai blinked, asking instinctively, "Has she already come to Tokyo?"

Although she had seen staff from Beichuan Divine Society promoting at a department store last time, it was just plain promotion; Beichuan Divine Society had not yet established a branch in Tokyo, and therefore Great Ming Guangde Mage had not come over either.

"Her full name is Qiuxiao Yunai, she came over a couple of days ago. And—" Beichuan Si briefly responded, shifting his gaze as if noticing something, then turned to look at classmates discussing something in front.

Shen Gu Mirai, feeling the direction of Beichuan Si’s gaze, instinctively also cast her eyes there—

It was a group of little girls.

As the saying goes, three women make a drama, and a group of little girls was naturally chirping away.

What these little girls were chirping about was of no interest to Beichuan Si at all, what really mattered was the tiny charms tied to the edge of their bags.

The charm seemed to be made of white porcelain, fired into the shape of a big doll face connected to a tiny chibi body.

"Isn’t that... Kelian’s likeness?" Shen Gu Mirai opened her mouth in surprise, somewhat incredulously.

It indeed resembled Nishijou Kurenai.

However, some aspects were slightly exaggerated.

The head enlarged, the little patches on the doll face were missing, the shiny white body small yet exquisite and cute.

Each of their bags had one of these, and if one listened closely to their discussion, it seemed they were talking about when to attend a charity event by Beichuan Divine Society.

Honestly, Shen Gu Mirai quite wanted one of those adorable charms herself.

"It’s said to be Beichuan Divine Society’s publicity for little girls who like cute items, that’s the mascot of Beichuan Divine Society." Beichuan Si succinctly made a summary.

Shen Gu Mirai nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, Little Sister Kelian is quite adorable."

"You got the focus wrong," Beichuan Si said coolly, pulling his gaze back and then turning to look at Shen Gu Mirai,

"But never mind, let’s not worry about that for now. Can you make some time this afternoon?"

"I can."

Shen Gu Mirai nodded.

She was also curious about what the organizational structure of Beichuan Divine Society was really like.

And after all, since it was Beichuan Si’s enterprise, Shen Gu Mirai felt she should manage Beichuan Si’s enterprise well, no matter what.

The two discussed for a while longer, and Beichuan Si then made a call to Qiuxiao Yunai.

After communicating with her, Beichuan Si set aside the matter, planning to think about it again in the afternoon.

...

At just past four in the afternoon, having finished school, Beichuan Si took Shen Gu Mirai by car to a mansion with its own Japanese-style garden.

The gate and the exclusive parking driveway led deeply into the small stone path of the Japanese-style garden.

Compared to Beichuan Si’s unchanged expression, Shen Gu Mirai, as an ordinary high school girl, clearly showed fluctuations in her expression upon seeing the mansion in front.

Her family was modestly wealthy, but to acquire such a property in the bustling district of Tokyo would be devastatingly costly.

Although she had heard from Beichuan Si that both Qiuxiao Yunai and Nanami Qiao Nai had wealthy families, Shen Gu Mirai did not expect them to be that wealthy.
