Chapter 500: 326 Chapters. Forest Sea... (8000-word target achieved)

Three minutes later, Sanseiyuan Bei Nai took out the photo album and the diary and placed them in front of Shen Gu Mirai and Beichuan Si.

"You take a look yourselves," Sanseiyuan Bei Nai walked over to the sink to wash her hands, then sat back down again.

Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai looked at the diary in front of them.

The diary was well-preserved; its cover was bound with simple brown hard cardboard, giving it a sense of age.

Beichuan Si picked up the diary with a glance from Shen Gu Mirai’s curious eyes—

The diary was likely bought by Ihui Shenzi after she arrived in Ibaraki Prefecture, recording memories with Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s father, barely mentioning her previous life on Ihui Island.

She had written a lot, each entry filling an entire page, especially later on as her body weakened further, she wrote much more as a pastime.

Even Shen Gu Mirai was dazzled by the densely packed characters, but Beichuan Si seemed indifferent, calmly flipping through the pages one by one.

Under such intense reading, Beichuan Si spent ten minutes to reach the end of the diary.

On the last page of the diary, not much was elaborated, just a few lines left.

"I have never regretted marrying my husband, nor have I ever sought forgiveness. Becoming what I am now is just my due punishment. Now that it has come to this, perhaps I should be able to face death calmly?"

"Please forgive Tenzi, she’s just a child. That is my only wish. She is my remaining concern in this world, please... forgive her."

"The name ’Ihui’ represents endless pain, I wish to escape it..."

"Thank you very much Bei Nai for the long-term help, I really appreciate it."

"Take good care of Tenzi, You."

"Ihui... I... am coming back."

These words were left cleanly on the paper, appearing very conspicuous.

You from Sanseiyuan, this was the name of Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s father.

But now there was a strange doubt.

Ihui Shenzi wrote above, "I have never regretted marrying my husband," could it be that on Ihui Island, marrying an outsider was such an unforgivable act?

"Becoming what I am now is just my due punishment"... The tone here conveyed a feeling of inevitability, could it be something like a curse?

If it was a curse, naturally it would be difficult to deal with, as lifting a curse requires addressing its origin. Just like the curse of Shenzhu Village that Magong Tong struggled with, it could only be suppressed under good intentions, not completely eradicated.

Yet the most intriguing was still the last sentence.

"Ihui, I am coming back." What did this sentence mean? Beichuan Si had also seen it in the data investigated by Hayakawa Sei, Ihui Shenzi should have been buried in Ibaraki Prefecture.

Beichuan Si lifted his head silently.

Sanseiyuan Bei Nai was watching the line of text on the diary with a complex expression.

Presumably, she had also read this diary, hence her thought of going to Ihui Island to look for Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s parents.

But due to time, money, and Sanseiyuan Tenzi herself, she hadn’t made it to Ihui Island.

No wonder Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s expression seemed somewhat unnatural when she mentioned her aunt, and her speech was hesitant.

Now it seemed, Sanseiyuan Bei Nai had indeed adopted her as her own daughter.

Sanseiyuan Bei Nai inhaled sharply, sensing Beichuan Si’s gaze:

"The first mistake I made, perhaps, was to speak harshly to my brother and her. However, when my brother and her heard what I said, they just maintained a particularly warm smile, and that smile is what I remember most."

Sanseiyuan Bei Nai tilted her head back, "The second mistake, was letting Tenzi live alone, only for that incident to happen..."

Her eyes conveyed indescribable sorrow.

She blamed herself for Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s death.

Because for a while, every time she looked at Sanseiyuan Tenzi, she would be reminded of her deceased brother and sister-in-law, which intensified the pain in her heart, hence during that time she had others take care of Tenzi.

Afterwards, she let the adult Sanseiyuan Tenzi live alone, and then the accident happened.

It had been a year since Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s death, and she didn’t know how she had made it through the year.

Regret and sorrow formed a knot at her chest, leaving her unable to breathe.

All she could say was sorry.

But Sanseiyuan Tenzi was already dead, and anything said now felt futile.

She clasped her hands together, unable to utter a single word.

Beichuan Si did not offer comfort to Sanseiyuan Bei Nai.

After all, in another way, Sanseiyuan Tenzi was still alive and seemed quite spirited.

Sanseiyuan Tenzi must have guessed that her aunt would show such a look, which is why she appeared to be reluctantly rejecting.

If there was time, it would be a good idea to bring Sanseiyuan Tenzi over to visit her aunt.

Beichuan Si lowered his head again, reaching out his hand towards the photo album on the table.

The album contained quite a few photos of Sanseiyuan Tenzi as a child, and only a small part were photos from Ihui Island.

Ihui Island had electricity; at night, the lighthouse flickered, the jungle was deep, and the windy architecture stood prominently, giving a sense of mystique and grandeur.

The dances of the village soil.

The bonfires at night.
