This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame

Chapter 494: Chapter 323. The Isolated Island

Ihui Humanoid.

My mother’s name included "Ihui"...

The humanoid brought from the village...

Beichuan Si hesitated for a moment, then turned and asked, "Miss Sanseiyuan, do you know from which village your mother came to Ibaraki Prefecture?"

His bright eyes were fixed on Sanseiyuan Tenzi.

Feeling his gaze, Sanseiyuan Tenzi instinctively shrank her neck and without much thought, she responded, "I can’t remember."

It was understandable, after all, not even knowing her mother’s real name, so being unclear about the village her mother came from was quite normal.

"What else do you remember specifically?" Beichuan Si slightly changed his phrasing, trying to draw out more information about Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s mother.

Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s feet left the ground, and she simply floated in the air.

She furrowed her brows and pondered for about ten seconds before she stumbled her way through her response, "When you put it that way, I do recall... my aunt used to complain about my father to me."

"Complain?" Beichuan Si echoed.

"Yes, complain," Sanseiyuan Tenzi nodded. "Didn’t I say before? My parents had died when I was still too young to understand."

"And at that time, it was my aunt who took care of me, until I got a bit older. Then I was pushed around by relatives of my father, living a life dependent on others for a very long time."

As she spoke these words, there was no trace of sentimentality on her face, just a recollection of memories put into words one by one:

"My aunt complained to me about my mother, saying that my mother was someone my father abruptly brought home to marry during a business trip. Naturally, this was opposed by my living grandparents at the time, but my father wouldn’t listen and insisted on marrying her. As a result, relations with the family grew very stiff."

"Only a few friends of my father and my aunt attended the wedding day. As for my mother’s side... not a single relative came to the wedding..."

"My mother seemed like someone who suddenly appeared in this world, suddenly ready to marry my father. Then she gave birth to me, and then both she and my father subsequently died."

Sanseiyuan Tenzi looked at the humanoid held in Beichuan Si’s hands, a rare self-mocking expression flashing across her face: "Now even I have died. My parents probably never imagined I’d die so young."

She sighed deeply.

Once a person dies, everything is gone.

Sanseiyuan Tenzi knew this well.

But having said this much, she couldn’t help but feel a rising sense of resentment towards her parents.

They had brought her into the world but did not take responsibility, leaving this world in the blink of an eye.

"I, on the other hand, believe your mother loved you very much." Beichuan Si looked at Sanseiyuan Tenzi, handed over the humanoid, and gestured for her to look at the back of the humanoid’s deep purple kimono.

Sanseiyuan Tenzi turned the humanoid around instinctively.

There was a line of words sewn with embroidery.

’Tenzi, may the humanoid bearer take on the suffering you should not have to endure.’

"..." Sanseiyuan Tenzi.

Looking at the line of words, Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s gaze shifted slightly.

She fell silent and after a long time, as if having found some solace, turned her face again and continued, "That’s all I remember about my mother, if you ask me again, I won’t remember anything else."

"That’s enough," Beichuan Si did not press Sanseiyuan Tenzi further.

Indeed, seeing her like this, she had already reached the limit of her thinking; there was nothing more he could extract from her.

"Now that we have the humanoid, next we need to set up the spiritual shrine... and..." Beichuan Si muttered, his eyes slightly lifting.

Regardless, he still needed to clarify the specific connection between the Ihui Humanoid and Ihui Island, for if Shen Gu Mirai’s parents were really heading to Ihui Island, they might encounter some danger.

And now that there was no more information to dig up from Sanseiyuan Tenzi, there were undoubtedly two approaches to consider next.

One was to directly call Shen Gu Mirai’s parents and ask them about Ihui Island.

The other was to find Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s aunt and see if she could remember anything about Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s mother.

Beichuan Si decided to employ both strategies, planning to call Shen Gu Mirai’s parents that evening to inquire about Ihui Island and, at the same time, to enlist Hayakawa Sei to help find people.

To ask Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s aunt about her memories after finding her.

It would surely be for the best if this all turned out to be a mere wonderful misunderstanding, without the coincidences being true, after all, from Tokyo to Okinawa is a fairly terrifying distance, and one would need to take a plane to actually go there.

Beichuan Si took the humanoid back into his hands, then sought out Hayakawa Sei.

He briefed Hayakawa Sei on his thoughts and made his request.

Asking Hayakawa Sei to help find Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s aunt.

Naturally, Hayakawa Sei agreed without hesitation.

In Ibaraki Prefecture, finding a person was definitely not a difficult task for him.

"Then I will visit again tomorrow," Beichuan Si said before getting into the car.

"Please rest assured, Beichuan Master, I will definitely tell you the address of Miss Sanseiyuan’s aunt tomorrow," Hayakawa Sei promised with a smile.

Having witnessed Beichuan Si’s capabilities this time, he found no reason to refuse such a reasonable request.

"Thank you for your trouble," Beichuan Si didn’t say much else, nodding politely before getting into the business car specially designated for his transport by Hirasaka Ichiro.
