This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame-Chapter 626 - 389: My Tactics Surpass Yours! (8000-word goal achieved!)

Okay!

Since she had made her decision, Shen Gu Mirai felt the need to act proactively.

Her steps naturally slowed down, stopping right beside Beichuan Lin.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Temple, for the sake of your and my future family’s happiness, let me harness the power of goodwill this time."

Shen Gu Mirai apologized to Beichuan Si in her heart.

Her bright eyes flickered faintly with a light golden current.

This was a method of use she had figured out, quite similar to Beichuan Si’s dead energy manipulation.

Under the assistance of these light golden goodwill, Shen Gu Mirai clearly felt Beichuan Lin’s breathing become somewhat disordered.

It made sense.

Under this weather, having just flown to Japan and then rushing to Kyubei High School, it would naturally result in such symptoms.

Thinking of this, Shen Gu Mirai’s big eyes suddenly sparkled, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face, and she stopped in her tracks, "Um... Sister Liangzi and Ms. Beichuan, I’m sorry, but I suddenly feel the urge to go to the restroom... Could you two please wait for me here for a bit?"

As she spoke, she bowed to Gangye Yoshiko and Beichuan Lin, her voice full of apology, "I’m really very sorry."

Beichuan Lin’s eyes softened at the sound of this sincere apology.

This girl was really too nice; this was an occasion where she had inconvenienced the others, and there was no need for Shen Gu Mirai to apologize like this.

Beichuan Lin responded with a gentle face,

"Ah, that’s alright, Miss Shen Gu, I should be the one thanking you for coming to find us despite the inconvenience..."

"It’s nothing!" Shen Gu Mirai’s lovely face brightened with a dazzling smile, seemingly healing just with a glance, "I’m really happy to be able to help Ms. Beichuan."

What a wonderful child she was.

The pure smile of this student deeply touched Beichuan Lin’s heart.

"I’ll head to the restroom then, you two rest by the bench for a while."

"That sounds good." Beichuan Lin nodded and watched as Shen Gu Mirai disappeared into the crowd.

She did feel rather tired, having flown fourteen hours from Paris and then gone straight to Kyubei High School.

And with the rising temperature in Tokyo, she was indeed feeling very thirsty.

But considering that Gangye Yoshiko and Shen Gu Mirai had taken time out of their schedules to show her to second-year Class A, she didn’t want to waste their time.

It was a good time to sit down and rest for a bit.

She and Gangye Yoshiko sat down to chat. After about five minutes, they heard Shen Gu Mirai’s voice.

"Sister Liangzi, Ms. Beichuan, I’m back."

The two looked up.

Gangye Yoshiko was the first to speak with a slightly odd tone, "Mirai? What’s that in your hand...?"

How did Shen Gu Mirai end up with three small plastic bags after a trip to the restroom?

"Oh, this..." Shen Gu Mirai walked over cheerfully and then distributed the items to Beichuan Lin and Gangye Yoshiko, "I noticed that chilled juice was for sale when I was coming back from the restroom, so I took some time..."

She blinked, "Look Liangzi, in such hot weather, of course, people get thirsty, right?"

So——

Shen Gu Mirai coughed twice, naturally continuing, "So these two cups of juice are my apology for taking up your time, please don’t be polite."

"How can I accept this?" Beichuan Lin looked at the cold drink in her hand and hurriedly stood up, "I can’t let Miss Shen Gu spend her money, this time let me treat, to repay you both for showing me the way."

As she spoke, Beichuan Lin moved to take out her wallet.

But before she could get her wallet, Shen Gu Mirai on the other side appeared ’unhappy.’

"Ms. Beichuan... as I said, it’s because I made us late, so consider the juice as an apology. You really don’t have to do that. If you insist, I won’t take you to second-year Class A."

After saying this, Beichuan Lin also felt somewhat embarrassed about forcing money into Shen Gu Mirai’s hand.

Seeing this, the ’unhappy’ expression on Shen Gu Mirai’s delicate face was wiped away, replaced by a kind and innocent smile, "Oh, let’s not talk about this anymore, we should get going."

Saying this, Shen Gu Mirai ’naturally’ took Beichuan Lin’s hand.

The soft, delicate touch of her hand deeply moved Beichuan Lin.

Obviously, Beichuan Lin, as an adult, could see through Shen Gu Mirai’s feigned ’unhappiness’.

But Shen Gu Mirai was just hoping that Beichuan Lin would accept her kindness, so she had put on the act.

This girl has such a good nature, Beichuan Lin didn’t know how to express her gratitude.

She even wondered if Shen Gu Mirai had seen her looking a bit parched, which is why she had come up with the ’going to the restroom’ excuse.

Then Shen Gu Mirai took that time to line up for the cold drinks.

If that was the case...

Beichuan Lin’s gaze twinkled as she softly thanked Shen Gu Mirai, "Thank you, Miss Shen Gu."

Upon hearing these words, a hint of ’did I get caught?’ flashed across Shen Gu Mirai’s face, accompanied by an apprehensive chuckle, "Hehe... I haven’t... really done anything that Ms. Beichuan needs to thank me for."

Seeing Shen Gu Mirai shyly scratch her head, Beichuan Lin felt even more deeply moved—

Could it be just as I thought?

Is this girl just too good-hearted?

She was moved again...
