Chapter 485: Chapter 318. Visit (4000 words)_2

After all, transportation time and social courtesies must be accounted for...

By the time these tasks were completed, it was probably past eleven o’clock.

Beichuan Si took a sip of tea and stood up, patting the Shinra Bell that hung on the wall. "Shenzhu Shihui, what’s the matter with Mirai? Is she feeling unwell?"

Given the energy of the young girl like Mirai, she should have been up and about already, so it was no wonder Beichuan Si considered the possibility of her feeling unwell.

"...Rather than saying she’s unwell," Shenzhu Shihui floated out from the Shinra Bell, looking somewhat hesitant.

Beichuan Si might have fallen asleep quickly the night before and wasn’t aware, but Shenzhu Shihui had clearly seen Mirai tossing and turning excitedly in her bed, her eyes wide open.

But if Shenzhu Shihui were to tell Beichuan Si this, what kind of expression would Mirai use to face him afterward?

Shenzhu Shihui understood human emotions well enough to know how embarrassing and unbearable it would be for a young girl if her crush knew about her little actions, so she struggled for a long time without saying it.

Just then, Beichuan Si’s voice suddenly rose:

"If it’s inconvenient to say, then don’t force it."

He waved off the matter indifferently, "More importantly, it’s about time we set off. Mirai looks very tired as well, so let’s let her rest for the day."

"...That might be for the best." Shenzhu Shihui nodded, but she also felt secretly sorry for Mirai.

If Mirai were awake now, she would probably be crying.

Just because she stayed up late and couldn’t get up, her first day of the trip was spoiled—

But as much as it was a pity, for the sake of Mirai’s health, Shenzhu Shihui did not wake her up from her deep sleep.

Beichuan Si took down the Shinra Bell from the wall and placed it in the water bottle holder of his backpack.

On the other side, Nishijou Kurenai saw this and actively rolled roll his round legs, his entire stuffed body climbing from Beichuan Si’s feet up to his shoulders.

Everything was ready.

Beichuan Si checked his belongings before leaving, and after realizing he wasn’t missing anything, he got up, called a servant, and left with the servant.

Leaving behind Mirai, who was lying in bed sound asleep... with a silly smile on her face.

...

"Good morning, Beichuan Ma..."

"Good morning, Mr. Hirasaka." Beichuan Si greeted.

Uh...

Standing by the door, Hirasaka Ichiro opened his mouth.

He hadn’t even finished his greeting, and Beichuan Si had already cut in as if snatching his words.

Unable to resist, he took a glance at Beichuan Si, and noticing his usual inexpressive, stern demeanor, decided not to say more.

Perhaps it was just his imagination?

Thinking this, he wore a smile and invited Beichuan Si into the car.

Once the two were seated, Hirasaka Ichiro with a smile asked, "I wonder how the Mage rested last night?"

"Not bad." Beichuan Si took another look at Hirasaka Ichiro, "If there’s anything you wish to discuss, Mr. Hirasaka, please feel free to speak."

"...Then I won’t hold back." Hirasaka Ichiro coughed, suppressing his anxiety and asked, "Mage, is there something wrong with the room I provided? Is there a vengeful spirit there?"

Whether there was a vengeful spirit?

This question puzzled Beichuan Si.

The room provided by Hirasaka Ichiro had a pleasant environment and the scenery of the separate little building was quite impressive. He hadn’t even seen a trace of malice, let alone a vengeful spirit.

Possibly noticing Beichuan Si’s confusion, Hirasaka Ichiro then explained:

Nishijou Kurenai’s little doll remained motionless, but on closer observation, it seemed her gaze slightly shifted in another direction.

As for the other Shinra Bell... it looked just like an ordinary bell, lacking the usual shimmering multicolored aura.

It seemed impossible to discern anything from them at the moment.

Beichuan Si’s gaze flickered for a moment before he replied, "I’m not too clear on the specifics. However, there should be no vengeful spirits in the elegant room."

Hearing Beichuan Si’s words, Hirasaka Ichiro inwardly sighed with relief.

If even his own house had those things, it would have been too unsettling.

The two of them quickly skipped this unpleasant topic and subconsciously changed the subject.

Although it was a different topic, most of it still pertained to the Hayakawa Family.

The Hayakawa Family held significant influence in the political realm of Ibaraki Prefecture, and through this, the Hayakawa Family had established cooperative relations with many businessmen, indeed qualifying as a distinguished clan.

In truth, if it weren’t for the exceptional circumstances this time, Hirasaka Ichiro believed he wouldn’t have the means to connect with the Hayakawa Family.

The two talked for over ten minutes, mostly Hirasaka speaking, with Beichuan Si occasionally interjecting.

About five or six minutes later, the business van stopped in front of the Hayakawa residence.

In the middle of the enclosure was a towering gate, its white walls paired with gray tiles, exuding an ancient charm.

Next to the gate stood a middle-aged man dressed in navy-blue Wu attire.

Upon seeing Hirasaka Ichiro and the others get out of the car, the man in Wu attire also showed a smile and hurriedly approached.

"Mr. Hirasaka."

"Hello, Mr. Hayakawa." Hirasaka Ichiro also greeted with a smile, then turned to particularly introduce Beichuan Si, "Beichuan Master, this is the Head of the Hayakawa Family, Mr. Hayakawa Sei."

Actually, Mr. Hayakawa Sei had noticed Beichuan Si when Hirasaka Ichiro alighted the vehicle.

But the latter looked too young, and he hesitated to confirm his identity until now. Hearing Hirasaka Ichiro’s words, Mr. Hayakawa Sei didn’t hesitate and walked over to grasp Beichuan Si’s hand, greeting him enthusiastically, "Hello, Beichuan Master."

Mr. Hayakawa Sei didn’t slight him despite Beichuan Si’s young age. His demeanor was filled with respect.

He, too, was a shrewd person; since Hirasaka Ichiro dared to introduce such a young Beichuan Si to him, there had to be a solid reason.

As for someone coming to make fun...?

Honestly, Hirasaka Ichiro wasn’t a fool, and the other party was a sharp businessman. Doing something with more to lose than to gain fundamentally contradicted a businessman’s nature.

"Hello, Mr. Hayakawa." Beichuan Si responded.

After everyone’s formal introductions, there was no point in continuing to stand at the door and waste time.

They all laughed and walked with Beichuan Si into the parlor, during which Beichuan Si sensed several curious glances from hidden corners.

"Please have some tea."

Mr. Hayakawa Sei called out.

Beichuan Si and Hirasaka Ichiro did not hesitate and politely sipped the tea.

With faces seen and tea drunk, greetings exchanged, it was time to discuss serious matters.

Mr. Hayakawa Sei’s smile lessened slightly, and his expression tensed, "I’ll get straight to the point."

"In fact, it was I who requested Mr. Hirasaka to bring Beichuan Master here, perhaps somewhat urgently, but this matter involves Xiuyi himself, so the family has not taken it lightly but had me immediately find Mr. Hirasaka..."

He chuckled, jokingly adding, "Honestly, before meeting Beichuan Master, I was still wondering what kind of person Beichuan Master would be. I had thought he might be someone of my elders’ generation, but it turns out Beichuan Master is still so young."

Having cracked that playful joke, Mr. Hayakawa Sei didn’t linger on this any further:

"Anyway, as long as Beichuan Master, you resolve this issue, the Hayakawa Family will surely be very grateful."
