The person outside is indeed Beichuan Si.
When he saw Shen Gu Mirai come out to greet him, he glanced at the time.
It was already past three in the morning. After tallying up the damages at the house with Mouchi Qingluo and 'cordially' confirming what she needed to compensate, Beichuan Si finally left the office and rushed home.
"You're still awake?" Beichuan Si said as he changed into his slippers.
If Shen Gu Mirai hadn't been reminded, she might not have minded, but as soon as it was mentioned, she stomped her foot in irritation.
"How could I possibly sleep! Mr. Temple, don't you see what time it is? I've been worried sick about your situation over there! Of course, I couldn't sleep, you should seriously apologize to me."
Seeing Shen Gu Mirai's puffed-up expression, Beichuan Si reached out to touch her face and said earnestly:
"This is indeed my fault, I apologize to you."
Hmm!
Seeing Beichuan Si actually apologize, Shen Gu Mirai felt a bit embarrassed.
"... Always, always like this. Mr. Temple is always like this."
Shen Gu Mirai pouted, turned her head, and spoke in a small voice.
At times like these, Beichuan Si seemed somewhat 'sly.'
Because as soon as he apologized... she couldn't help but forgive him!
Yes, it's practically his foolproof method against her! As long as Beichuan Si apologizes, even her greatest anger would be extinguished instantly.
Just as Shen Gu Mirai was having this little tantrum that only she understood, Beichuan Si's voice came again.
"Besides this issue, I actually have some other matters I want to discuss with you."
His tone carried a hint of seriousness, which made Shen Gu Mirai a bit startled.
But she quickly responded, nodding: "I understand, Mr. Temple."
When Beichuan Si used such a serious tone... it meant that what he had to say wouldn't be simple.
As for Beichuan Si...
The matters he intended to tell Shen Gu Mirai naturally involved the Mouchi family.
This family located in Kagoshima Prefecture had targeted Shen Gu Mirai because of the Mouchi Witch and the Blue Disaster Stone.
Previously, Beichuan Si didn't want Shen Gu Mirai to worry about these matters, so he concealed from her the fact that someone was monitoring her... But that was only because Beichuan Si didn't think it directly involved Shen Gu Mirai... When he learned from Mouchi Qingluo that the main target this time was Shen Gu Mirai, the first thing Beichuan Si thought of was to tell her about it.
There was no other reason.
Just because Shen Gu Mirai is directly involved, she has the right to know this matter.
If, because of concealing these matters from Shen Gu Mirai, an unexpected situation happened, and she was caught off guard, leading to her being harmed... that would really be foolish.
To give her advance warning, that was Beichuan Si's plan.
Moreover, it wasn't difficult to discuss these matters with Shen Gu Mirai.
"The Mouchi Witch? Blue Disaster Stone?"
Listening to what Beichuan Si said, Shen Gu Mirai blinked and subconsciously tightened her grip on the dark blue flat oval stone hanging around her neck.
This was the Blue Disaster Stone...
Shen Gu Mirai didn't utter childish words like 'would returning the stone to them solve the problem,' for the goodwill inside the stone had been extracted and all infused into her body.
Handing over such an empty Blue Disaster Stone to them would certainly not satisfy them.
Her eyes flickered before she asked, "Mr. Temple, what do you plan to do next?"
Shen Gu Mirai entrusted the decision to Beichuan Si.
Because Beichuan Si telling her this indicated that he surely had a plan.
"The immediate priority is to go to Kagoshima Prefecture and rendezvous with the Nakajima family."
Beichuan Si gestured, paused, and continued:
"As for the Mouchi family in Kagoshima Prefecture... I will personally go there. But since your identity is sensitive now, you should stay with the Nakajima family for the time being, with the Nakajima family taking care of you, I can rest assured."
Just as Shen Gu Mirai imagined, Beichuan Si indeed had an idea long ago.
First, head to Kagoshima Prefecture to rendezvous with the Nakajima family, then ask the Nakajima family to look after Shen Gu Mirai to prevent the Mouchi family from doing anything to her while he's away. Meanwhile, he would go to the Mouchi family to inquire about some concerning issues.
There were many issues to ask about, such as matters related to the Mouchi Witch and the Blue Disaster Stone.
After all, communication is a means for humans to enhance understanding, and Beichuan Si believed that with the Mouchi Witch Shen Gu Mirai on his side, the Mouchi family would provide some answers.
But all of this was based on—
"Going to Kagoshima Prefecture as a precondition."
Yes, heading to Kagoshima Prefecture, that was what Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai should do now.
Without going there, these entangled matters couldn't be resolved.
"In fact, I've already booked the flight tickets, and we can fly from Tokyo to Kagoshima Prefecture tomorrow, it takes only about two hours."
"Everything follows Mr. Temple's lead." Shen Gu Mirai nodded.
She didn't insist on Beichuan Si taking her to the Mouchi family.
Because she had always been clear about her position, though she wanted to help Beichuan Si, she also understood... As the main bargaining chip in negotiations with the Mouchi family, she must protect herself and prevent them from succeeding, only by doing this could she truly help Beichuan Si.
