Chapter 471: Chapter 311. Grimace Deflated (Goal of 8,000 Words Achieved!)_2

Beichuan Si nodded expressionlessly, very much approvingly saying, "You really should thank me."

Uh—

While it was true, they still hoped Mr. Beichuan could have been less blunt.

They wanted to say this, but they couldn’t.

Because what Beichuan Si said was just the truth.

However, these moderators of supernatural forums and outdoor adventure vloggers were not at a loss for topics.

They gathered around Beichuan Si, diverting the conversation to inquire about his recent re-entry into the spiritual realm.

Beichuan Si also answered them as concisely as possible.

When Beichuan Si mentioned the clown specter, Yamakou Hideyasu and the others repeatedly expressed their surprise:

"It sounds so strong! Mr. Beichuan, it must have been tough getting rid of that clown specter, right?"

Hearing this, Beichuan Si stroked his chin, comparing the resilience of the clown specter to previous specters—

He said with an uncertain tone, "I suppose it’s considered strong."

In terms of resilience, that is.

This statement only elevated Beichuan Si’s image in the eyes of Yamakou Hideyasu and the others.

This Mr. Beichuan, handsome and powerful, who wouldn’t like him?

Even if he was a bit aloof, he was still a very decent person.

Beichuan Si didn’t particularly care about these people’s opinions, responding sporadically to the questions from Yamakou Hideyasu and the others as he walked toward the guesthouse.

After all, he had been busy all night and even Beichuan Si’s constitution felt a bit weary.

It took the group about ten minutes to reach the guesthouse, and after exchanging greetings, they went to soak in the hot springs.

Beichuan Si was no exception, but he waited for everyone else to finish washing up before slowly making his way alone to the male bathhouse.

The thick mist of the hot springs enveloped the area—

Beichuan Si first cleaned his hair and body, then immersed his entire body in the hot spring.

Indeed, it was nice.

The warm hot spring water soaked his whole body, driving away fatigue and relaxing his spirit.

Beichuan Si let out a satisfied sigh, then looking toward another corner of the hot spring, instructed, "Kelian, make sure to wash yourself thoroughly too."

Plop!

A splash of water came from the corner, seemingly as Nishijou Kurenai indicating she had heard.

Yes, this was the reason why Beichuan Si went to the hot spring alone.

Nishijou Kurenai, no matter what, wanted to experience it once, and Beichuan Si could only agree.

But he was concerned she might cause some trouble in the women’s bath, so he took her to the men’s bath and made her a small hot spring pool.

Calling it a small hot spring pool... it was actually just a small wooden tub filled with hot spring water.

At the moment, Nishijou Kurenai leaned against the wooden tub’s wall, her round stuffed head comfortably resting against the side, lying back.

Over her small stuffed head, there was even a white cloth piece, giving her the appearance of a middle-aged man soaking in a hot spring.

Beichuan Si saw her respond and just shook his head.

He still had to use a hairdryer on her later, which honestly, was a bit of a hassle.

Maybe just wring her out by hand?

It seemed unlikely that Nishijou Kurenai would agree.

Beichuan Si had no choice but to abandon that option and turned his gaze toward the system page.

"’Urgent Jester Specter Recovery, one medium middle-tier specter, skill points reward 5 points.’"

The physical fitness section had changed, now showing ’nearly eight times that of a normal human.’

While the death energy total went from 210 to 220, and skill points leaped from a measly 0.5 to 5.5 points.

4.5 skill points... For Beichuan Si, now needing dozens of skill points for an enhancement, it really wasn’t much.

Beichuan Si still saved these 5.5 skill points, seeking to advance his existing skills further.

As for other skills,

There were no changes for now.

Beichuan Si withdrew his gaze from the data, pondered for a while before taking his towel from a nearby stool.

It was about time to get out.

Beichuan Si wrapped the towel around himself, then walked over to Nishijou Kurenai’s small wooden tub—

"Kelian, it’s time to go."

Beichuan Si looked at Nishijou Kurenai in the wooden tub, giving her a nod.

Inside the tub, Nishijou Kurenai’s entire stuffed body floated on the surface of the water, her plush face turning from round to flat, and on this flat face, a sense of comfort was evident.

She was soaking so comfortably that she unconsciously flattened herself.

Upon hearing a greeting from Beichuan Si, Nishijou Kurenai’s stuffed body popped back to a rounded shape as if inflated.

She struggled to lift her arm onto the edge of the wooden bucket, hoping to flip herself out just like that.

Then—

Because she had soaked so comfortably, she flattened again and floated on the water’s surface.

I couldn’t move.

That’s what Nishijou Kurenai wanted to express.

Seeing Nishijou Kurenai in this state, Beichuan Si, without a word, pinched her flattened face and lifted her out of the wooden bucket.

Beichuan Si ignored her flailing hands and carried her out to the changing room.

Change clothes, blow-dry.

Nishijou Kurenai’s entire stuffed body curled up, then stretched—she yawned in Beichuan Si’s palm.

Having a blow-dry after a hot spring bath is also a very comfortable thing.

She started to flatten again...

...

After Nishijou Kurenai’s commotion, it took Beichuan Si twenty minutes to completely dry her from inside out.

He took Nishijou Kurenai back to her room, picked up his wallet and tram card, and said,

"Stay here and rest. I have things to handle."

After leaving these words, Beichuan Si pulled the door shut and quietly left again.

He still couldn’t rest now.

Since he had promised Shikizaki Haru, Beichuan Si felt he must follow through.

He came to the station and boarded a tram.

According to Shikizaki Haru herself, her daughter Shikizaki Chuncai should now have been sent to the countryside to live with her grandparents.

Three years ago, she was nine years old; she should almost be of middle school age by now.

After all, she was also a twelve-year-old girl...

Of course, it’s possible that she might not attend middle school.

After all, following Shikizaki Haru’s death, only two elderly people remained at home, likely unable to afford the steep tuition.

Beichuan Si’s thoughts leaped.

He took the bus according to the address Shikizaki Haru had given to a dilapidated wooden bus stop.

In the morning, the cool breeze of the countryside stirred.

Surrounding green grapevines glistened with dewdrops.

In the breeze, a scent of soil wafted to meet him.

To the right of Beichuan Si, Mount Fuji in a white cap seemed close.

But in reality, Mount Fuji was quite far from here.

It was just clearer from this spot.

After enjoying a moment of the rural scenery, Beichuan Si looked at the address again.

Shikizaki Chuncai now lives in this small town?

The most worrying was... what if Shikizaki Chuncai’s family had moved?

Beichuan Si discarded these miscellaneous thoughts and walked forward.

Now he had to walk, as in such a small town of just a couple of hundred households, there really isn’t any need for bus facilities.

Moreover, some nameless little roads weren’t even on the map—

However, relying on the slip of paper in his hand and the helpful locals of Yamanashi Prefecture, Beichuan Si eventually found the Shikizaki home after some twists and turns.

It was a very common sharp-roofed house.

The house had a quaint little yard, planted with cherry tomatoes, and in another corner of the yard, Beichuan Si noticed a bag of weeds neatly packed in a plastic bag.

All these signs indicated that the Shikizaki family hadn’t moved; they still lived here.

Beichuan Si glanced at the time.

It was already past ten in the morning, by all accounts, the family should already be up.

Beichuan Si pondered for a moment.

He decided to visit and directly state his purpose.

After seeing Shikizaki Chuncai’s current living conditions, he would turn around and leave.

Having come to a decision, there was no need to hesitate.

Beichuan Si, without another word, walked forward—
