This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame

Chapter 452: Mrs. Magong Has Always Been Honest (8000 Word Goal Achieved!)_2


This kind of sharp-edged personality, to tell the truth, isn't so easy to survive in today's society.

But precisely because of this, it exudes an indescribable charm.

To put it plainly... Shen Gu Mirai was attracted by such a personality of Beichuan Si.

Whenever she looked at his straight-forward figure, Shen Gu Mirai couldn't help but be fascinated.

Magong Yongshi's voice rang out.

"Miss Mirai is right, these are indeed the enchanting traits of Mr. Temple."

Magong Yongshi gently combed Shen Gu Mirai's hair, watching her expression in the mirror, and continued word by word, "So now I have to ask... how can I not fall for such a Mr. Temple?"

Upon hearing Magong Yongshi's words, Shen Gu Mirai showed an understanding expression, "Yes, Miss Yongshi does have a point."

Liking someone has its reasons and processes.

It's very difficult to fall in love at first sight as in novels, precisely because Shen Gu Mirai and Magong Yongshi understood Beichuan Si, they fell for him.

"Right, right!" Seeing Shen Gu Mirai agree with her ideas, Magong Yongshi clapped her hands together and showed a joyful smile, "Mr. Temple is just that wonderful, so it's normal to fall in love with him, right?"

"Exactly." Shen Gu Mirai nodded vigorously, also wearing a smile of understanding, "After all, he's my Mr. Temple, it's inevitable that people like him."

In just a moment, the two reached a consensus, their demeanor seemed to say 'no matter who you are, as long as you praise Beichuan Si, then we are brothers from different fathers.'

Between her and Magong Yongshi, there were no quarrels, no underhanded scheming; they were just having an ordinary conversation, their tones as relaxed as discussing 'what to eat tomorrow.'

In fact, both Shen Gu Mirai and Magong Yongshi were always honest with themselves and others.

They didn't hide their feelings, and thus, Magong Yongshi took this opportunity today to express these thoughts to Shen Gu Mirai.

To like is to like.

This was an emotion Magong Yongshi couldn't hide, and similarly, one she didn't want to conceal.

Because liking someone is nothing to be ashamed of.

But—

"Before we continue this conversation, I still need to tell you something, Miss Mirai."

Magong Yongshi continued to cut Shen Gu Mirai's hair without looking up, "I don't intend to wedge myself between you two..."

After saying this, she added with a light laugh, "Because, Miss Mirai, look, I'm in a Spiritual Body state right now. Entering into this state would only complicate things further, right?"

Yes, Magong Yongshi was currently in a Spiritual Body state, making it impossible to get involved in the romance between Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai, and moreover—

"I actually don't want to get involved either." Magong Yongshi winked cunningly, "I can't bear children, fulfill a wife's responsibilities, or even provide Mr. Temple a warm embrace in leisure... this is actually very unfair to Mr. Temple. Plus, you know his personality; if he falls for someone, he will never be distracted by a second person..."

"And, emotions from the deceased are like a painful curse for the living."

Magong Yongshi concluded.

Beside her, Shen Gu Mirai also nodded understandingly.

Because what Magong Yongshi said was all true.

Yet...

"What do you mean by that, Miss Yongshi?" Shen Gu Mirai asked, looking up confused.

Yes, if Magong Yongshi had already considered so much, why bring it up? What was she trying to convey?

Seeing her expression, Magong Yongshi reached out, clutched Shen Gu Mirai's shoulder, and leaned close to her ear, then looked up at the mirror, "Since I can't be a wife, then at least a female best friend... at least I should achieve that."

She continued,

"Miss Mirai, life indeed is full of regrets. I didn't meet Mr. Temple while I was alive, and that's my regret."

"I don't want you to encounter the same kind of regret, so I've told you all this because I hope there won't be a regretful ending between you and Mr. Temple."

With these words from Magong Yongshi, Shen Gu Mirai couldn't help but take another look at her.

The words spoken by this Soul Suppressing Twin from Shenzhu Village were all heartfelt; she didn't want to interfere in the feelings between her and Mr. Temple, always standing behind with a gentle and kind smile.

Magong Yongshi was a very open-hearted person.

She could face her own emotions openly, hiding nothing.

Likewise, she could openly face Shen Gu Mirai without harboring any jealousy.

Because—

"Causing trouble for males isn't my style."

Magong Yongshi straightened her back, standing firm.

A gentle demeanor, just like that of a Da He Fuzi, emanated from her.

Her face held a compliant smile.

And that was also the most sincere expression Shen Gu Mirai had ever seen.

...

Magong Yongshi adjusted Shen Gu Mirai's face in the mirror and asked as if seeking her approval, "Well, it looks about like this now, what do you think, Miss Mirai?"

In the mirror, Shen Gu Mirai still had medium-length hair, but some of the unnecessary hair had been cut short by Magong Yongshi, revealing a charmingly innocent appearance.

"Now, even if Miss Mirai decides to let her hair grow longer, there will be no issues, and it looks much cleaner on both sides,"

Magong Yongshi said kindly.

She had noticed that Shen Gu Mirai wanted to grow her hair, so she didn't touch her hard-grown medium-length hair, only fine-tuning the trim around the edges.

The fringe that had been trimmed and the short, chopped hair Beichuan Si had just cut gave off a harmonious vibe, appearing as if it was a couple's matching hairstyle.

Miss Yongshi truly epitomizes a Da He Fuzi.

Shen Gu Mirai looked at herself in the mirror, showing an expression of disbelief.

She hadn't expected that, although the person remained the same, just a change in hairstyle could seemingly transform her demeanor entirely.

Of course, Shen Gu Mirai didn't forget to thank Magong Yongshi. "Thank you so much, Miss Yongshi."

She bowed deeply to Magong Yongshi.

This bow was not only for the hairstyle but even more importantly for Magong Yongshi's courage to voice all her inner thoughts.

Perhaps Magong Yongshi had considered her thoughts, which led to this conversation in the washroom today.

"It's nothing," Magong Yongshi responded respectfully. "Rather, Miss Mirai, thank you for listening to me ramble on for so long."

In any case, having cleared these matters, their relationship had taken a big step closer.

Magong Yongshi quickly cleaned up her hairstyling tools.

She put the comb back in the washbasin cabinet and cleaned the washroom, after which the two left for the living room.

At this time, Nishijou Kurenai was leaning against the coffee table, a remote control by her side.

The television displayed her favorite figure skating.

Meanwhile, Beichuan Si was preparing tonight's dinner.

Upon seeing Shen Gu Mirai and Magong Yongshi come out, Beichuan Si raised his head, giving both the person and the good spirits an extra glance.

He felt… that both seemed to have changed a lot.

Beichuan Si paused his chopping and asked with a hint of curiosity, "What happened between you two?"

Hearing Beichuan Si's words, Magong Yongshi and Shen Gu Mirai looked at each other, then both smiled:

"It's a secret among us girls, Mr. Temple."

Yes.

This was a secret between Magong Yongshi and Shen Gu Mirai.

As for Beichuan Si...?

They certainly weren't going to let him know.
