Actually, Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi have always believed that Beichuan Si possesses mind reading technique or a similar ability.

So when they heard Beichuan Si denying it, they both showed a look of astonishment.

Because there are certain things that without mind reading technique, it's just impossible to explain clearly—

"But I really don't have mind reading technique. So coming to see Miss Fangzi was absolutely natural," Beichuan Si said directly.

"No... more than that now... I have other questions to ask."

Beside him, Inari Oneji raised her hand, her expression a bit puzzled.

"Ask," Beichuan Si responded blandly.

"Why are we at a family restaurant?" Inari Oneji asked in bewilderment.

Yes, at that moment they were sitting in a family restaurant, and Beichuan Si had even ordered dinner.

They were supposed to be discussing business... How did they end up eating?

"According to what you said, Anda Yoshiko usually finishes work at five-thirty and returns home at six o'clock, right?"

Beichuan Si confirmed calmly while eating the seafood rice in front of him.

"That's right...," Inari Oneji said, her gaze involuntarily shifting to Beichuan Si eating.

"It's only five-forty now, so visiting her isn't urgent. Besides—"

Besides...?

Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi looked over.

"I'm hungry."

Beichuan Si answered straightforwardly, then glanced at Inari Oneji, who quietly swallowed, wanting to eat but felt shy.

Without hesitation, he called the waiter and ordered dinner for both Inari Keiichi and Inari Oneji:

"Before solving the event, we should also take care of our own bodies. Forcing ourselves despite discomfort and getting involved is the most unwise choice."

As he spoke, Beichuan Si quickly finished his seafood rice.

Hmm...

Inari Keiichi and Inari Oneji both blushed.

They had rushed to the special department right after class and naturally hadn't eaten much.

By now, it was nearly six, dinner time, and they were indeed a bit hungry.

Considering there were things to resolve, they had been holding back without mentioning it.

Now, with someone like teacher-like Beichuan Si taking the lead, the Inari siblings also began to tackle the food in front of them.

Watching them start eating, Beichuan Si softened his expression.

For some reason, seeing this sibling duo, he always thought of Beichuan Huili.

Initially, when he took charge of three meals a day at home, Beichuan Huili was the same way, seeming hesitant.

But now...?

Beichuan Huili has completely accepted it.

He wondered if the Inari siblings would become like Beichuan Huili in the future.

Just as Beichuan Si was pondering this, a surprised voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Mr. Keiichi? Miss Ijiko?"

The speaker was a female office worker wearing a suit.

She looked very young, with shoulder-length short hair.

Despite being in her prime, her gaze was haggard, and her complexion was pale, as if she had aged five or six years out of nowhere.

She had a small bag slung over her shoulder and held a little paper bag with unknown contents in her hand.

It was clear she had just finished work.

"Miss Fangzi?!"

Inari Keiichi and Inari Oneji quickly wiped their mouths and stood up.

"Hmm... Mr. Keiichi, Miss Ijiko, we meet again."

Anda Yoshiko politely smiled at the Inari siblings.

Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi both had formal police IDs and had helped her with her problems, so she was obviously very courteous to them.

However—

"And this is...?"

Anda Yoshiko looked puzzled at Beichuan Si sitting opposite the two, asking in confusion.

"This is our Brother Beichuan... Hmm... our senior, he also came because of Miss Anda's dream troubles."

Inari Oneji coughed lightly twice, hurriedly correcting herself.

"Ah..." Anda Yoshiko turned and gave Beichuan Si a deep bow: "So you're a colleague of Mr. Keiichi and Miss Ijiko... Sorry for my rudeness."

She reached out her hand as she spoke.

"I'm Anda Yoshiko, please to meet you."

"Hmm. I am Beichuan Si."

Beichuan Si's gaze flickered as he reached out to shake her hand briefly and nodded.

He had been observing Anda Yoshiko with a focused intent.

But, just as Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi had said, Beichuan Si didn't see any resentment on Anda Yoshiko.

She seemed like a completely ordinary person, neither carrying resentment nor goodwill.

Beichuan Si withdrew his gaze and then asked:

"I wonder if Miss Anda is available now? This isn't really a suitable place for discussing things."

Indeed, the family restaurant was crowded, making it unsuitable for serious discussions.

"That was my oversight."

Anda Yoshiko understood Beichuan Si's implication and glanced at the surrounding environment before smiling: "If everyone doesn't mind, we can head to my place now. I'll be sure to welcome you all warmly."

Since Anda Yoshiko had said so, Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi had no objections.

The four tidied their things and followed Anda Yoshiko into an apartment building after settling the bill.

The apartment appeared quite upscale; the entrance required a card swipe, and if visitors came, entering the room number and having the owner verify identity before unlocking from inside allowed access.
