Chapter 483: Chapter 3017. Hayakawa (8000 Word Target Achieved)_2

Both of them understood what was going on, they were just ’playing dumb’ in a very ’socialized’ manner.

Hirasaka Ichiro added another line:

"This time too, it was the other party who found me, saying that they needed the help of Beichuan Master, so that’s why I called today... As Beichuan Master’s girlfriend, Miss Shen Gu should actually be quite happy about her boyfriend’s achievements."

Girlfriend?!

Upon hearing this word, Shen Gu Mirai tensed up a bit.

Without changing her expression, she glanced at Beichuan Si and felt a slight relief when she noticed that he did not seem to object.

Beichuan Si, who was deep in thought, then spoke, "That is to say, this time it’s because a vengeful spirit has appeared in the other party’s home, and they want my assistance, right?"

While Shen Gu Mirai was distracted, Hirasaka Ichiro had also briefly explained the situation to Beichuan Si.

The other party was the Hayakawa Family, a prestigious family from Ibaraki Prefecture.

It seemed that their only family heir—a five-year-old boy, Hayakawa Xiuyi—started seeing strange things and occasionally talking to the air after moving into the old house.

Rooms that the housekeeper had not cleaned would mysteriously become spotless.

When asked whom he was talking to, he pointed to the corner with a baffled expression and said, ’There’s a big sister there, don’t you see her?’

This made the Hayakawa family panic.

The child was the sole heir of the family, treasured like the apple of their eye, and his sudden strange talk prompted them to urgently take him to the hospital for an examination.

But the examination showed that everything was normal.

At this time, someone mentioned Beichuan Master, previously referred to by Mr. Hirasaka—

And thus, the current situation arose.

But now there was a doubt.

If Xiuyi had already seen the vengeful spirit, why hadn’t it directly harmed him?

After all, vengeful spirits are hostile towards the living, and even the most cunning clownish spirit Beichuan Si had encountered didn’t disguise its malice towards the living.

Would a spirit capable of harm actually show mercy?

It seemed quite unlikely.

Furthermore, since the vengeful spirit had appeared, the Hayakawa household shouldn’t be so calm.

This was something for Beichuan Si to ponder.

But it was already late today, and with the situation at the Hayakawa’s seeming a bit odd, Beichuan Si wasn’t in a particular hurry.

With that in mind, he nodded and said,

"I generally understand now, I’ll go and have a look at the Hayakawa family tomorrow morning."

"Alright. Then let’s discuss the issue of lodging, Beichuan Master," Mr. Hirasaka took another sip of tea and politely said, "Actually, I have already prepared a room. I wonder if the two of you would prefer... one room or two?"

This was something he had to ask, as a matter of respect to Shen Gu Mirai and Beichuan Si.

One room or two?

Shen Gu Mirai was somewhat eager to test the waters.

If it were up to her, she would definitely choose one room, but if it were Beichuan Si...

Shen Gu Mirai gave up.

It seemed that she gave up too quickly, and without even trying to hide her feelings, she simply showed an obvious look of disappointment.

The next moment—

Beichuan Si, who had been paying attention to Shen Gu Mirai’s expression, spoke:

"One room will be sufficient."

"???" Shen Gu Mirai, who had already given up, was surprised and looked at Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si was as calm as usual, his gaze steady.

Originally, he thought it would be better to have two rooms, but Shen Gu Mirai’s obvious disappointment made him change his mind without much hesitation and he simply requested one room.

Mr. Hirasaka let out a slight smile and said nothing more, "There is a refined chamber in the house with a pleasant little courtyard view, and it’s usually undisturbed. Also, feel free to order meals to be made and someone will deliver them."

"That would be great, then please have someone take us there," Beichuan Si continued.

On the other hand, Shen Gu Mirai was completely stunned.

She was so surprised that she couldn’t even speak.

By the time she really came back to her senses after being led with Beichuan Si to an elegant room by Hirasaka Ichiro’s people, Shen Gu Mirai had barely recovered.

"Mr. Temple, Mr. Temple?" She swallowed and looked at the interior of the elegant room.

It had to be said, Hirasaka Ichiro had some taste.

The elegant room was divided into inner and outer sections, separated by a curtain. Fragrant incense burned slowly in the corner, relaxing the body and mind amidst the swirling smoke.

The doors of the room opened to a small courtyard, which was planted with various ornamental plants that appeared well-maintained and were quite beautiful.

But—

This wasn’t a matter of having taste or not!

Shen Gu Mirai slapped her cheeks and walked on tiptoe to the side of Beichuan Si, who was busy pouring tea for himself: "Mr. Temple, why did you suddenly think of, of one room?"

"Because your disappointed expression was too obvious, it would have been strange not to agree under those circumstances," Beichuan Si replied expressionlessly.

"Is that so?" Shen Gu Mirai didn’t notice her expression just now; she just subconsciously revealed her true emotions.

She didn’t realize it would be as significant as Beichuan Si had said.

"Yes," Beichuan Si answered simply.

But he didn’t care much either.

After all, Shen Gu Mirai was also a potential girlfriend, so sharing one room wasn’t a big issue.

Besides, one room didn’t mean they had to sleep together; it was normal to sleep separately.

The most important thing was, that sort of behavior was far too premature for Shen Gu Mirai personally.

Shen Gu Mirai was only seventeen and not yet an adult; to engage in such activities prematurely—

It was as if you were writing a novel, and despite being told not to describe anything below the neck, you still insist on trying, ending up with neither the manuscript nor the respect, which would be no one’s fault but your own.

Moreover, Shen Gu Mirai’s parents trusted him enough to let their daughter travel with him.

If he were to proceed with these matters right after, the other party likely wouldn’t forgive him so easily.

Plus, the form hasn’t been filled out until now—

And Beichuan Si was a boy, of course he had certain needs, and though it would be nice to sleep under the same big quilt, to remain immovable...

At least Beichuan Si wasn’t one hundred percent confident he could.

In conclusion, Beichuan Si had decided to sleep separately from Shen Gu Mirai for now, as a way of respecting her.

"So, it’s sleeping in separate beds. Mr. Temple, you should have said so earlier, then I wouldn’t have been so nervous."

Shen Gu Mirai stuck out her tongue.

Feeling foolish for her nervousness just to find out they were only sleeping in separate beds.

"That will be all for today," Beichuan Si said as he handed Nishijou Kurenai over to Shen Gu Mirai’s arms: "Kelian wants to take another bath, why don’t you go with her? But be careful, and let’s not have a repeat of last time’s incident."

By ’last time’s incident,’ Beichuan Si referred to the training camp in the woods when Nishijou Kurenai was discovered, which led to a flurry of ghost stories.

"I understand." Shen Gu Mirai nodded firmly, then, looking slightly embarrassed, picked up Nishijou Kurenai and walked out.

Watching Shen Gu Mirai leave, Beichuan Si patted the Shinra Bell and said with an unchanged voice: "Can you relax now?"

"Because, Beichuan, you always do things I can’t predict!"

Shenzhu Shihui floated out from the Shinra Bell, unable to help herself from speaking.

She didn’t stutter at all when she said this, showing just how shocked she was.

Who knows what Beichuan Si was thinking all day long, always using some extreme tactics that led to misunderstandings.

"Rather than that, I’m more interested in asking you about the possibility I mentioned just now regarding the Hayakawa Family... Does it exist?"

No matter what Shenzhu Shihui thought, Beichuan Si simply asked her.

"..." Shenzhu Shihui.

She shook her head helplessly, knowing that was just the kind of man Beichuan Si was.

"The possibility you mentioned does exist, and from my point of view, it’s quite significant."

"Is that so." Beichuan Si responded lightly.

If it was what he thought, then the task of exorcism this time might turn out to be simpler than expected.
