Chapter 487: Chapter 319. Kelian’s Function (4000 words)_2

The little ones, who had been holding themselves back, suddenly came rushing to Beichuan Si excitedly. Hayakawa Xiuyi gazed at Beichuan Si with admiration, "Brother Beichuan is so awesome! He even managed to send Dad out."

It wasn’t exactly a command, but a negotiation.

Beichuan Si thought expressionlessly.

"Does everyone at home listen to Brother Beichuan?!" Hayakawa Yuanyuan sat in Beichuan Si’s lap and asked excitedly looking up at him.

"You’re so awesome!" Hayakawa Chie clung to Beichuan Si’s right arm, looking absolutely like an accessory.

Next to Hayakawa Chie, Hayakawa Hanakawa had already laid herself over Beichuan Si’s left arm.

Although such a position wasn’t very comfortable, these little ones seemed tirelessly affectionate.

Perhaps due to family education, these kids weren’t shy with strangers at all, appearing very friendly.

In a moment, Beichuan Si was covered with ’little koalas.’

Poker-faced, Beichuan Si said steadily, "Now Mr. Hayakawa has also left, and it’s only us in the room. Whatever hidden things you have, you can tell me now."

Silence—

The noisy little ones all quieted down.

They glanced at each other, looked around hesitantly, then one by one they climbed off Beichuan Si, still looking uncertain.

"Is there something you can’t tell? Don’t worry, I won’t force you," Beichuan Si said as he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

Hayakawa Xiuyi nodded, "...I made a promise with big sister... it’s a secret."

"Yes. If we talk too much, big sister won’t play with us anymore."

Hayakawa Chie jumped in after him.

Big sister? Secrets? Playing?

Beichuan Si pondered for a moment, then proposed a compromise, "Actually, I have many secrets—how about this, we exchange my secrets for your secrets, what do you think?"

Beichuan Si’s secrets?!

The eyes of children like Hayakawa Xiuyi filled with a strong desire to know.

They had heard of Beichuan Master’s name in social settings before, so they were very curious about Beichuan Si.

Being children, they really wanted to know what it was like when Beichuan Si performed exorcisms.

Would it be like in the cartoons, taking out a talisman and chanting spells to summon elements like wind, earth, or fire.

Gulp—

Hayakawa Xiuyi and the others seemed tempted.

But...

"No... we promised to keep it a secret. Chie can’t break her promise," Hayakawa Chie swallowed hard, shaking her little head with difficulty.

Her little pigtails quivered, somewhat uneasily.

Having already refused to this extent, Beichuan Si might be unhappy, right?

She carefully lifted her head to look at Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si’s cold expression met her gaze.

Hayakawa Chie couldn’t help but shiver.

"..." Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si didn’t speak but just waved his hand towards Hayakawa Chie, gesturing for her to come closer.

Gulp...

He must be angry, right?

Not only Hayakawa Chie, but even Hayakawa Xiuyi and the others could tell.

"Don’t bully Chie!" Hayakawa Hanakawa stood bravely in front of Beichuan Si.

"Yes! If you want to bully Chie, I won’t allow it!" Hayakawa Xiuyi gathered his courage and stood in front of the two.

The air was deadly quiet.

At least, in the eyes of the group of children, it was deadly quiet.

Other than the sound of heartbeats, no other sound could be heard.

They stared at Beichuan Si as if looking at a Demon King they could never defeat.

After a long while—

"Who told you I was going to blame Hayakawa Chie?" Beichuan Si asked with an unchanged expression and a calm tone.

Ah?!

The children’s mouths gaped open.

"But... but just now Brother Beichuan clearly called Chie with a stern face..." They weakly objected.

"My face has always been like this," Beichuan Si responded, his gaze unwavering.

At this, the four little ones stammered and completely lost their words.

Just moments ago, they felt Beichuan Si had suddenly become much more fierce... Could it have been just their imagination?

Beichuan Si continued, "Keeping a promise is something to be praised. Why would I be angry?"

His icy expression slightly softened.

There really wasn’t anything to be angry about.

Hayakawa Chie kept her promise, and Hayakawa Hidekichi and Hayakawa Hanakawa were willing to step forward to protect a girl who was at a disadvantage. It was actually a good thing.

Even though he couldn’t extract the secret for the time being, Beichuan Si wouldn’t get annoyed over such a matter.

"Although I didn’t get the secret, as a reward for just now—" Beichuan Si paused, then patted Nishijou Kurenai, who was crouching at his collar.

Under the astonished gazes of the children, a small doll flipped out from Beichuan Si’s collar.

She spun around mid-air twice like a living thing, then landed on Beichuan Si’s shoulder, arms crossed over her chest, looking very spirited and lifelike.

"This is..." Hayakawa Hidekichi and the others were stunned.

A moving doll! And it even did somersaults!

"Nishijou Kurenai, my younger sister, is actually older than you all," Beichuan Si explained.

With Beichuan Si’s explanation, Nishijou Kurenai leaped onto Hayakawa Chie’s shoulder, nodding at her.

Her nimble and lively appearance made Hayakawa Chie’s eyes sparkle: "Sister Kelian!?"

That call of ’Sister’ made Nishijou Kurenai raise her head even higher, her round hand also affectionately patting Hayakawa Chie’s round face.

Hm, not bad.

That was what Nishijou Kurenai meant.

The children were even more excited.

They watched as Nishijou Kurenai did somersaults, then kicked her legs in a chain, thoroughly enjoying the play.

Seeing that they had started playing with Nishijou Kurenai, Beichuan Si just lightly added, "This is also one of my secrets, consider it a reward for your behavior just now. You know, your parents aren’t even aware of Kelian’s existence."

Silence—

The children fell silent.

Their faces turned red with shame.

At first, they had suspected Beichuan Si with ill intentions, but it turned out he just wanted to praise them, and later even let Nishijou Kurenai play with them...

Even as children, they knew they had been somewhat unfair to Beichuan Si.

They huddled together, exchanged looks, then lowered their voices to discuss something in front of Beichuan Si.

After a while, Hayakawa Hidekichi, chosen as the representative of the children, stepped forward, looking at Beichuan Si somewhat awkwardly, "Brother Beichuan... since you’ve let us know the secret... it doesn’t seem quite right for us."

He clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother Beichuan, I’ll tell you the secret about that older sister."

This outcome was clearly approved by those behind him like Hayakawa Chie, so no one spoke out against it.

Beichuan Si shifted his gaze.

Nishijou Kurenai was jumping on the coffee table, and she also gestured an ’OK’ sign to Beichuan Si.

It seemed she had also put in quite some effort to make Hayakawa Chie and the others reluctantly open up.

Actually, Beichuan Si could have pressured Hayakawa Sei instead to make this much simpler.

But that wouldn’t have been conducive to the children’s growth, and besides, Beichuan Si didn’t like to force others to do things they didn’t enjoy, so it had turned out this way.

But since they were willing to speak up themselves, that was already a very good outcome.

"Come and sit down," Beichuan Si said, sipping his tea and patting the sofa.

From the beginning to now, his expression had not changed at all.

The children, seeing Beichuan Si’s demeanor, gradually relaxed, all gathered around, and began to tell Beichuan Si about the ’older sister’.

"Actually, I saw that older sister in my own room... at first, I was the only one who could see her."

Hayakawa Hidekichi reminisced, explaining the situation at that time to Beichuan Si in his childish voice.
