After the class, Beichuan Si made a special phone call to Qianye Yuki, confirming that Nakajima Michika didn't need him to step in, and then he pulled Beichuan Huili out of the art club.

"Uh..."

Shen Gu Mirai opened her mouth, watching Beichuan Huili jogging ahead.

Then, she silently turned to look at Beichuan Si beside her.

At this moment, Beichuan Si was holding a vine stick in his hand, occasionally swishing it through the air.

Of course, Beichuan Si wasn't a devil and wouldn't treat his sister cruelly.

He merely lifted the vine stick and swung it in the air, making a crisp 'snap' sound as it hit the air.

This sound clearly intimidated Beichuan Huili jogging in front.

Huili, who had initially slowed down, immediately picked up her pace again and resumed jogging.

Uh...

Shen Gu Mirai opened her mouth once more.

The scene was so bizarre that it left her speechless, unable to ask the many questions she had.

"This was Huili's request."

Beichuan Si suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" Shen Gu Mirai looked confused, as if she hadn't heard him correctly.

"..." Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si glanced sideways at Shen Gu Mirai and explained again: "It's what Huili asked me to do."

"Ah?!"

Realizing she hadn't misheard, Shen Gu Mirai's eyes widened. After a while, she looked towards Beichuan Huili in the front and murmured: "...I'm sorry... Huili, I really didn't expect you to have this kind of interest..."

"???"

Hearing Shen Gu Mirai's words, Beichuan Huili, who was running in front, was shocked and hurriedly explained: "Wait... Wait! Sister Mirai! You misunderstood! It's for weight loss! I asked Brother Temple to help me lose weight!"

"...Weight loss?" Shen Gu Mirai blinked.

Seeing her expression, Beichuan Si calmly explained beside her:

"Recently, her weight has been increasing rather fast, so she asked me to supervise her."

"I see..." Shen Gu Mirai's voice was slightly hesitant, as she looked suspiciously at Beichuan Si, then at Beichuan Huili.

Finally, she leaned closer to Beichuan Si, lowering her voice so that Beichuan Huili, who was jogging ahead, couldn't hear: "Mr. Temple... I remember your family eats from separate food trays, right?"

"That's right."

Beichuan Si glanced at Shen Gu Mirai.

"...Then why doesn't Mr. Temple just adjust Huili's dietary balance on her tray? If it's controlled earlier, Huili wouldn't have to work so hard now, right..."

At this point, Shen Gu Mirai raised an eyebrow, then showed a hint of surprise.

Wait!

Controlling the diet balance is something Beichuan Si doesn't need a reminder for because he usually pays attention to this.

Then why did he just let Beichuan Huili's weight gain happen...?

Could it be—

"Mr. Temple, did you do it on purpose?"

Shen Gu Mirai's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

This young girl remains as sharp as ever in such matters, and with just a bit of thinking, she thought of something that Beichuan Huili couldn't fathom at all.

Beichuan Si turned his gaze and nodded straightforwardly to acknowledge Shen Gu Mirai's suspicion.

"But why do that...?" Shen Gu Mirai quietly glanced at Beichuan Huili jogging in front and asked in a low voice.

"From morning classes, she just sits at her desk, eats during lunch break, then sits while drawing in the afternoon, followed by dinner, watching TV, and sleeping at night."

"Throughout this period, she's mainly sitting or lying down without any exercise, which is very unhealthy for her body, so I thought of this method to not only lose weight but also to exercise the body in the process."

Beichuan Si explained with an unchanged tone.

Listening to this, Shen Gu Mirai was dumbfounded.

"Uh... Does Huili know about this?"

"How would she know?" Beichuan Si said with a laugh, but the laughter was so stiff that it sounded rather mechanical: "If she were to know, she would surely push all the blame for her weight gain onto me, and without a burden on her mind, she would certainly slack off again."

"..." Shen Gu Mirai.

Honestly, she thought Beichuan Si was right.

Beichuan Huili's personality is the kind that gets particularly attentive to things she is interested in.

But on the other hand, if it's something she's not interested in, she just can't bring herself to care, no matter what.

Now, with the burden of 'losing weight' upon her, it's hard for her not to try hard.

One has to admit, Beichuan Si does understand his sister quite well.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Gu Mirai nodded and softly said: "I understand, if that's the case, then I won't tell Huili either. Letting her exercise a bit is better."

She and Beichuan Si could almost be considered a model couple; as long as Beichuan Si dared to kill, she would dare to look out from the sidelines and help bury as well.

Just like that, Beichuan Huili jogged all the way home, and when she got home, she collapsed directly onto the sofa, appearing utterly listless like a salted fish.

Indeed, she wasn't getting enough exercise.

Beichuan Si hung the vine stick on the wall and shook his head as he looked at the lying Beichuan Huili.

Having only jogged for about twenty minutes, Beichuan Huili was already entirely motionless, clearly displaying a lack of regular exercise.

"Brother Temple, I really can't do it anymore."

As if sensing Beichuan Si's gaze, Beichuan Huili, lying on the sofa, spoke in a strained voice.

"Can I give up on losing..."

"No."

"Eh—?" Beichuan Huili was about to draw out her voice.
