Chapter 433: Chapter 292. Paranormal Forum Owner’s Email (Achieved 8000 Words Goal!)_2

"Mr. Temple, I’m getting a bit tired too," Shen Gu Mirai said with a couple of dry coughs.

"Really?" Beichuan Si glanced over at Shen Gu Mirai subconsciously.

Shen Gu Mirai’s cheeks were slightly flushed, sweat beads lined her forehead, and her breathing was a bit erratic, as though she really couldn’t go on much longer.

But—

Was Shen Gu Mirai’s stamina that poor?

Beichuan Si furrowed his brows.

He had heard Beichuan Hui Li talk about how Shen Gu Mirai had performed at Rain Hall.

Beichuan Hui Li was dragged by Shen Gu Mirai in a mad dash, yet Shen Gu Mirai herself maintained a composed demeanor.

And Shen Gu Mirai’s physical education grades had always been top-notch.

How could a girl with that kind of physical ability be so exhausted after just a stretch of mountain path?

However, anything could happen, and hiking was all about maintaining a rhythm.

Even if Shen Gu Mirai was physically fit, if she didn’t manage her pace well, it was still quite easy to hit a wall.

"I’ll carry you for a bit, we’re probably not far off."

Beichuan Si half-squatted down, too lazy to keep pondering this matter.

Maybe Shen Gu Mirai saw him carrying Beichuan Hui Li and wanted to be carried by him too?

It was a possibility.

So it was useless to think any further.

What Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai didn’t expect was Nishijou Kurenai, who had been walking on the ground, suddenly leaping up, then performing a backflip and landing steadily on Beichuan Si’s shoulder, hands on hips, observing Shen Gu Mirai and Beichuan Hui Li.

"You’re tired too, Kurenai?" Beichuan Si asked.

Nishijou Kurenai nodded vigorously.

Do good spirits get tired too?

Beichuan Si’s eyes flickered.

Oh well, he was too lazy to think about it anymore.

Beichuan Si pointed at Shen Gu Mirai’s shoulder:

"Lie down on Mirai’s shoulder, and I’ll carry both of you."

"Uh..." Shen Gu Mirai opened her mouth, glanced at Nishijou Kurenai, and ended up helplessly nodding.

Nishijou Kurenai lay on Shen Gu Mirai’s shoulder, with the little doll’s head turned to stare at the other.

She felt that Shen Gu Mirai and Beichuan Si must be playing some game she didn’t know about.

And moreover, they intended to play it secretly without her.

How could she let that happen?!

Nishijou Kurenai, satisfied with her current state, nodded to herself.

But while Nishijou Kurenai was feeling fulfilled, Shen Gu Mirai’s heart was racing, her face flushed, and she didn’t know where to put her hands or feet.

Yes, just a moment ago, she was making excuses to have Beichuan Si carry her.

But when it came time for real action, she inexplicably chickened out.

Where should her hands go?

Where should her feet go?

Where should her head go?!

All the little schemes she had imagined were now overturned by herself, and she was plunged into a state of frenzy.

"What are you doing?" Beichuan Si turned to look at her.

What in the world was Shen Gu Mirai doing?

Her gaze flitting, face flushed red, and those fair, delicate, and straight legs trembling slightly—

"Mirai?" Beichuan Si waved his hand in front of her.

"Yes!!!!"

Shen Gu Mirai instantly tensed up.

"Come up."

Beichuan Si said calmly.

"Okay..." Shen Gu Mirai got on his back with a stiff, robotic clack.

Rather than leaning on Beichuan Si’s back, it was more like she was propping herself up with the strength of her arms, almost hanging in midair.

Wasn’t this completely backwards?

A hint of irritation crossed Beichuan Si’s usually impassive face.

Shen Gu Mirai really was a peculiar little girl.

Wouldn’t that position be even more tiring for her? Where was the rest in that?

But with Shen Gu Mirai hanging on without a word, Beichuan Si didn’t bother to say anything further.

After all, it’s not like she could lean on Beichuan Si’s back as naturally as Beichuan Hui Li could!

Putting aside the mindset of these two, the move Shen Gu Mirai made had Beichuan Hui Li staring in astonishment.

What kind of move was this?

Usually, when one is carried, shouldn’t they be lying on the other person’s back? Why did it seem like Sister Mirai was completely suspended in mid-air?

Could this be a trendy new carrying technique?

Very likely!

After all, this was Sister Mirai! How could she engage in pointless actions?

With this in mind, Beichuan Hui Li widened her eyes and carefully observed Shen Gu Mirai’s actions, intent on remembering them to later show off to her buddies.

After walking like this for a while, Shen Gu Mirai’s voice, strained with difficulty, finally came from behind:

"Um... Mr. Temple... this should be enough. I can... walk by myself now."

Beichuan Si promptly set her down.

Thud.

The moment Shen Gu Mirai touched the ground, her hands trembled as if she had epilepsy.

No choice there, after all, maintaining such a complex position for five or six minutes would exhaust anyone, even someone with Shen Gu Mirai’s stamina, revealing her fatigue.

However, compared to Shen Gu Mirai’s weary state, Nishijou Kurenai happily hopped onto Shen Gu Mirai’s shoulder.

She felt that she had joined the game that had just taken place between Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai, and naturally, she was delighted to no longer be alone.

Watching an inexplicably spirited Nishijou Kurenai, and a Beichuan Hui Li that seemed to be murmuring notes to herself, Beichuan Si felt more and more that he didn’t understand girls these days.

"This is absurd," Beichuan Si said coldly, then lifted his head.

Unbeknownst to him, the observation deck was now within reach.

...

When they reached the observation deck, it was already five in the afternoon.

It had taken them a grueling fifty-five minutes just to get there.

Being April, the edges of the sky were already tinged with the fiery glow of sunset at five o’clock.

Below the sunset was the lodge where they were staying.

The lodge, surrounded by lush green woods, looked particularly picturesque.

"Not too bad," Beichuan Si commented, ignoring the exhausted Beichuan Hui Li and Shen Gu Mirai who couldn’t even stand properly behind him, and stretched languidly.

Unlike the city, the air here was fresh, the scenery beautiful, and a breeze brought a touch of coolness as it passed.

Also, the lodge under the sunset could indeed be considered a haven.

Looking at the scene, Beichuan Si called out:

"Hui Li."

"What’s up, Brother Temple?" After a few minutes of rest, Beichuan Hui Li finally caught her breath and lifted her head to ask.

"Take a photo of it, and paint it when you got some free time," Beichuan Si suggested, pointing towards the distance.

The view was grand and open, truly suitable for Beichuan Hui Li’s painting practice.

"Wow— it really is beautiful! I’m tired of painting cityscapes every day anyway!" Beichuan Hui Li took out her phone from her pocket, aimed at the sunset in the distance, and snapped a photo.

But after taking it, she still felt somewhat unsatisfied:

"I always feel that painting just the scenery is a bit boring, oh right, Mr. Temple, Sister Mirai, and Kelian, stand together!"

She then pulled out a small telescopic selfie stick from her pocket.

After securing the phone, she stood in the middle, lifting the selfie stick.

In the frame were Beichuan Si, Nishijou, Shen Gu Mirai, and herself.

Behind them was the vast and magnificent scenery.

Click!

Beichuan Hui Li pressed the camera button, capturing the moment on her phone.

"This is more like it," Beichuan Hui Li nodded in satisfaction while looking at the photo on her phone.

Although Beichuan Si had a cold expression that didn’t photograph well, he was handsome, and handsome people never really look too bad in pictures.

As she fiddled with her phone repeatedly, Shen Gu Mirai also grabbed her phone and ran over:

"Hold on, Hui Li, send me that photo!"

"Sure. Right away! Let me just fix it up a bit."

The two chatted affectionately, and bursts of laughter could be heard every now and then.

Meanwhile, Beichuan Si took out his phone and glanced at an email message he had just received.

The senders were two acquaintances.

Two acquaintances he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu.

What could these two paranormal forum chiefs want from him now?

Curious, Beichuan Si opened the email and carefully read through the content.
