Chapter 401: Chapter 276. I Believe in You (4000 words)_2

Shen Gu Mirai originally thought that their so-called finding a place to stay was just finding a nice little duplex to settle down in, but then—

"Mr. Beichuan?!"

A voice suddenly came from behind, drawing the attention of Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai.

Behind them, Qiuxiao Yunai wore casual white clothes, still looking somewhat dazed.

She held a plastic bag in one hand and led Nanami Qiao with the other.

"You’re here... Uh—" Just as Qiuxiao Yunai was about to greet them, she glanced to the side at the girl standing next to Beichuan Si.

Her body tensed up, and she quickly bowed to Shen Gu Mirai: "Hello, Beichuan Godmother! I’m Great Ming Guangde Master,"

Qiuxiao Yunai’s voice still sounded so light and melodious, soothing to the core.

However, the content made Shen Gu Mirai’s mind explode.

Beichuan Godmother?!

Godmother?

Am I the Godmother?

Shen Gu Mirai’s mouth opened wide, a look of surprise on her face.

In the time she was stunned, Nanami Qiao rushed up and hugged Beichuan Si’s hand, her little head raised, and her big black and white eyes sparkling, "Brother Beichuan, long time no see. Qiao Nai missed you so much."

"Yes." Beichuan Si replied, then bent down and touched Nanami Qiao’s little head.

The reason Nanami Qiao felt such a strong sense of dependency on Beichuan Si was quite simple.

Like her, Beichuan Si was someone she could feel safe being around.

"Mr. Beichuan, and Godmother, let’s not talk here for now. Let’s go inside first," suggested Qiuxiao Yunai who was next to them.

"Sure." Beichuan Si held Nanami Qiao’s hand and followed Qiuxiao Yunai.

Qiuxiao Yunai led the way in front, complaining to Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai:

"Ah—speaking of which, I’ve been having a tough time these past few days, Mr. Beichuan and Godmother... this house is just too big, I can’t manage it all by myself. I can’t even remember which rooms I’ve put things in. The house in Gunma Prefecture was already hard enough to live in, but this house..."

Perhaps this is just a wealthy person’s trouble.

Seeing Qiuxiao Yunai complaining like she was sobbing, Shen Gu Mirai couldn’t help but think.

But thankfully, Qiuxiao Yunai seemed reliable and not difficult to deal with, so if they were to work together in the future, it probably wouldn’t result in any big mishaps or complications.

"Do you have the keys with you?" Beichuan Si suddenly intervened and asked.

Hearing this, Qiuxiao Yunai pouted discontentedly: "Mr. Beichuan, are you looking down on me? I am the Great Ming Guangde Master. How could I make a mistake at such a crucial moment? Don’t underestimate me!"

As Qiuxiao Yunai spoke, she began to search her pockets.

After going through all her pockets, she started searching her tote bag.

And finally—

"Mr. Beichuan!" Qiuxiao Yunai exclaimed, looking utterly confused: "What do we do? I think I really forgot to bring the keys!"

"Remove the words ’I think.’" Beichuan Si replied coolly, then turned to look at Shen Gu Mirai who was still somewhat dazed beside him: "This is the Great Ming Guangde Great Mage of Beichuan Divine Society. See why I wanted you to help support her?"

"..." Shen Gu Mirai.

She silently nodded, gaining a true understanding of Qiuxiao Yunai’s level of scatterbrained-ness.

"What should we do next?" Qiuxiao Yunai touched her head.

Surely a bunch of people couldn’t just get stuck here unable to enter the house, could they?

"I recall you just said ’Don’t underestimate me’?"

Cough, cough, cough...

Qiuxiao Yunai’s face flushed red, wanting to rebut Beichuan Si, but she didn’t know where to start.

Eventually, she could only keep silent and hope that Lord God would come up with a good solution.

"Do you like this door?" Beichuan Si asked, his expression unchanged.

"Not really, I prefer minimalist styles." Qiuxiao Yunai didn’t know why Beichuan Si asked this question, but she honestly answered anyway.

"Then you should think about changing the door," Beichuan Si said, then stepped back two steps.

"What does this mean—"

Bang!!!!!

Qiuxiao Yunai didn’t have time to finish her sentence before she could only watch as Beichuan Si suddenly kicked the door!

Accompanied by a sharp cracking sound, the seemingly expensive double doors were kicked by Beichuan Si, the lock deformed, and half of it crashed down instantly. The other half hung awkwardly.

"...so changing the door meant this." Qiuxiao Yunai scratched her head, neither angry nor annoyed, her confused face seemingly indifferent, "No problem, it needed to be changed anyway. I’ll just make a call now."

"Brother Beichuan is so amazing!" Nanami Qiao, the little girl, cheerfully jumped up. She clung to Beichuan Si’s hand, her eyes twinkling with stars.

Seeing this scene, Shen Gu Mirai hesitated to speak, then also nodded with a smile:

"Mr. Temple is indeed impressive."

These people had completely missed the point of the situation, joyfully stepping over the remnants of the old door to enter the mansion.

From the subsequent words of Qiuxiao Yunai, Shen Gu Mirai also learned of her plans.

She was to temporarily reside in Tokyo for a year or two, incidental to looking after Nanami Qiao as she attended elementary school.

"But it’s good that Mr. Beichuan is here in Tokyo, with him around I’m not worried at all."

Qiuxiao Yunai smiled carelessly, her silly demeanor causing a hint of doubt in Beichuan Si’s tone, "Can you really take care of Nanami?"

This person couldn’t even manage her own private life properly, and now she was supposed to take care of Nanami Qiao, completely unreliable to the extreme.

"Huh? I don’t have to take care of Sister Qiao Nai." Qiuxiao Yunai looked at Beichuan Si oddly, "I just need to make sure she goes to school. She’s so sensible, she hardly needs me to look after her, I just cook for her on weekdays."

"Yes! Qiao Nai has already experienced living independently!" Nanami Qiao revealed a pure and innocent smile.

Perhaps it was the time spent living in a mental hospital that made Nanami Qiao more mature than the average elementary school student.

She stayed with Qiuxiao Yunai not because Qiuxiao Yunai could take care of her, but because Qiuxiao Yunai could understand the things she saw.

Since Nanami Qiao herself had said so, Beichuan Si no longer intervened in her matters, and went straight to the main topic:

"My purpose for coming here is clear to you, Qiuxiao, isn’t it? Let me introduce you once again, this is Shen Gu Mirai, who will be managing the Beichuan Divine Society with you. She won’t be dealing with the charity organization affairs, but mainly responsible for planning church activities and dealing with the believers."

This was essentially a move to render Qiuxiao Yunai powerless.

After all, the real power was in activity planning and with the believers, leaving Qiuxiao Yunai only to handle charity organization affairs was bound to weaken her original authority.

Beichuan Si watched Qiuxiao Yunai’s expression carefully, ready to dissolve the Beichuan Divine Society if she showed any sign of unwillingness or reluctance to relinquish power.

If Qiuxiao Yunai and Shen Gu Mirai were not in agreement, his previous assumptions were void, and obviously, there was no need to keep the Beichuan Divine Society operational.

Under Beichuan Si’s gaze, Qiuxiao Yunai laughed cheerfully.

A natural and pure smile emerged on her face.

Just like the innocent expression she had when Beichuan Si had first asked her ’why she supported the charity event.’

"The purpose of establishing the Beichuan Divine Society was to help those who have lost their direction find their path forward again."

"I don’t care for power, I just want to do my job well."

"Mr. Beichuan, you are the deity I believe in. I trust your judgment."

Without any hesitation, Qiuxiao Yunai agreed to Beichuan Si’s proposal with a calm and mild expression:

"I believe in my god."
