Chapter 404: Chapter 278: Smiling Despite the Pain (Making up for Brother Ji Xuan’s update)

Miss Shan Yuanmu Yuzi, who attended Tokyo Sacred Heart Girls’ High School, was gentle to her classmates and often seen deep in thought. Her academic achievements ranked in the top tier of her grade, and she frequently represented the student body in speaking at the podium.

"This resume is certainly impressive," noted Beichuan Si, overwhelmed by the dense collection of outstanding evaluations.

Runner-up in the Youth Women’s Piano Competition, recipient of the gold award in the Metropolitan Flower Arrangement Contest...

She was the epitome of a winner in life, and on top of that, Shan Yuanmu Yuzi attended an elite institution like Sacred Heart Girls’ High School, making it a mystery why she would decide to engage in such a thing.

Perhaps you are not familiar with Sacred Heart Girls’ High School, but mentioning its affiliate, Tokyo Sacred Heart Women’s University, might ring a bell for many.

Just how renowned is this university?

Sacred Heart Women’s University, located in the Shibuya District of Tokyo, Japan, is one of the oldest women’s universities in the country. It is ranked among the top three prestigious female institutions in Japan, along with Shiroi Kyotō Jogakuin and Seisyu Women’s University.

In other words, it’s commonly known as a school for the aristocracy.

All you need to know is that those who study at such schools are usually from wealthy or noble backgrounds, and many well-known figures have been nurtured there. I will not enumerate them here.

"What are you looking at, Beichuan?" Shenzhu Shihui’s shadow emerged from the Shinra Bell. Her slightly ethereal face showed a hint of curiosity against the computer screen’s glow.

Hmm, and she was still holding a smartphone.

"I’m looking at some information," Beichuan Si said, disregarding the sudden appearance of the good spirit and scanning through the data collected by Qiuxiao Yunai again.

The information mentioned that Shan Yuanmu Yuzi’s mother had passed away due to ill health when she was young, leaving her and her father to rely on each other.

And Shan Yuanmu Yuzi had lived up to expectations, performing exceptionally well at Sacred Heart Girls’ High School, seen as a talented young woman in everyone’s eyes.

This data was incredibly detailed, ranging from the awards Shan Yuanmu Yuzi had received at Sacred Heart to her personal preferences.

According to Qiuxiao Yunai, this information seemed to have been provided by a Believer from Sacred Heart.

This gave Beichuan Si a taste of the feeling of delegation expected from a divine ordainer.

However, this comprehensive information was of little use in analyzing Shan Yuanmu Yuzi’s psychological state.

After all, what was displayed in this data was only superficial.

From his experience, Beichuan Si understood that understanding a person meant looking beyond the surface they present.

What... lies behind closed doors... what secret aspects... do they show?

Beichuan Si narrowed his eyes.

"Such a young girl is living alone?" murmured Shenzhu Shihui, looking at the information.

"Yes, it says she attends Sacred Heart Girls’ High School, which is quite a distance from her main home, and because her father often attends meetings and organizes political activities, he doesn’t have the time to care for her... Wait a minute—"

Beichuan Si re-grasped the mouse, his mind whirring.

If Shan Yuanmu Yuzi lived alone, could something be discovered at her residence?

Why did she choose to be alone in the first place... to engage in that thing?

Beichuan Si’s gaze flickered, growing interested in what was to come.

"Living in a rented apartment in Shibuya District..."

The details there were sparse, only indicating the area where Shan Yuanmu Yuzi lived.

That made sense, after all, that Believer was just a student. It would be strange if she knew things typically only teachers would know.

Beichuan Si let go of the mouse.

This clue seemed to have hit a dead end for now, but Beichuan Si was not in a rush.

He was planning to check on Shan Yuanmu Yuzi’s condition tomorrow. If he could wake her up, then there would be no need for these extra steps.

Beichuan Si unplugged the USB drive, shut down the computer, and looked over at Shenzhu Shihui, who was still fondly playing with the smartphone: "You should rest too."

Lately, Shenzhu Shihui had developed a fascination with something, putting aside her usual tongue-twister practice and instead spending all her time on the smartphone, absorbed in who knows what.

"I know, I know," coughed Shenzhu Shihui, yet her hands refused to let go of the smartphone Beichuan Si had bought for her.

Beichuan Si couldn’t be bothered to manage Shenzhu Shihui.

After all, as a good spirit, she likely had no concept of staying up late, and since she had been of great help to Beichuan Si recently, he figured it harmess for her to indulge a little longer.

With that thought, Beichuan Si lay down in bed and soon fell asleep, breathing evenly.

...

The next day.

Nakajima Michika had recently become more proactive about hurrying, no longer needing Beichuan Si’s prompting.

This progress was somewhat comforting to Beichuan Si.

After all, leading by example was Beichuan Si’s strategy, and now it seemed Nakajima Michika was ready to take on the role of a good example herself.

With Nakajima Michika setting the standard, Beichuan Hui Li, the metaphorical "Salty Egg," would surely be spurred to work even harder, right?

After breakfast, Beichuan Si organized the items he needed to take with him.

Of course, he planned to bring along little Nishijou Kurenai, and he also didn’t forget the Shinra Bell.

After triple-checking his preparations before departure, Beichuan Si took a car to the Qiuxiao family’s residence.

In front of the Qiuxiao house, Qiuxiao Yunai and Nanami Qiao Nai were already waiting for Beichuan Si.

Today, Shinkai Mirai did not come along.
