Who exactly is the other party, and what exactly do they want to do?

These things Beichuan Si does not know.

But the only certainty is that the other party is definitely not coming with good intentions.

After all, if they wanted to communicate amicably, they wouldn't need to be so secretive.

"Huh..."

Beichuan Si gently tapped on the surface of the desk.

Up front, Qianhe Kagura was already beginning to announce the things to note during the summer break and assign the holiday homework.

Once she finished speaking, the summer break would officially begin.

Just as Beichuan Si was still pondering, Qianhe Kagura had already started organizing her materials.

"Classmates, it's perfectly normal to detach from the intense studying and enjoy the summer break, but remember, times like this won't last long. Once vacation ends, the whole second year will enter the college entrance exam preparation stage, and you all need to start thinking about your future paths. This is what's meant by 'youthful troubles'..."

Qianhe Kagura said, word by word.

Yes, the coming autumn, winter, and the entire senior year after the new year...

All will become a battle on Heavenly King Mountain for the college entrance exams.

For ordinary students in Japan, they have to start choosing their paths for further education.

Whether to enter society or continue their studies at university...

These are troubles they should be worrying about.

But for Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai, it's nothing at all.

The two of them have long planned to find a good university to further study folklore or something similar, so the so-called 'youthful troubles' naturally have nothing to do with them.

Finally, when Qianhe Kagura finished speaking and left, and when the class committee started distributing summer break materials—

The class erupted in a huge cheer.

At the same time, the sound of fragmented discussions also started.

It seems that in any country, students maintain a high level of agreement about 'school holidays'.

Seemingly infected by their cheers, Shen Gu Mirai also turned her head with a smile and said:

"Summer break, huh, Mr. Temple."

"Yeah." Beichuan Si nodded.

"Ah... If only the problems could be solved quickly. I really want to go traveling with Mr. Temple."

Shen Gu Mirai stretched lazily in comfort.

"There will be a chance."

Beichuan Si replied simply, then packed the summer homework he got into his bag.

And just as he was tidying up, his phone rang with a simple, crisp sound.

He glanced at the screen, and upon seeing the name displayed, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrow.

Gangye Yoshiko...?

"I'm going to take a call."

He turned his head to say to Shen Gu Mirai beside him, then stood up and walked to the corridor outside to answer the phone.

As he left, a few girls called out to the packing Shen Gu Mirai.

"Shen Gu, it's already summer break, and the classmates plan to go to karaoke, so we wanted to ask if you'd like to join us."

These girls spoke while occasionally sneaking glances toward the corridor.

They were afraid Beichuan Si might suddenly spring out from the corridor and start beating them up.

After all, they were inviting his girlfriend to sing behind Beichuan Demon King's back... Would this be—

But compared to these girls' complicated thoughts, over there, Shen Gu Mirai was laughing cheerfully.

She was planning to refuse.

She needed to go to the Beichuan Family to pack the clothes she left there and confirm the itinerary with Nakajima Hiroto, so she really didn't have any free time.

Just as Shen Gu Mirai was about to refuse, Beichuan Si's voice suddenly sounded in her ear:

"It's a rare opportunity, Mirai, just go."

Beichuan Si's voice made the girls who came to invite nearly retreat.

"But..." Shen Gu Mirai looked at Beichuan Si behind her with confusion.

"Go ahead, I'll be at the house." Beichuan Si repeated expressionlessly.

This overly intimate way of speaking froze the originally trembling girls.

Is this still the rumored Beichuan Demon King who eats people?

That he could treat a girl like this?

Ignoring the thoughts of these girls, Shen Gu Mirai, seeing Beichuan Si's insistence, hesitated for a moment and then nodded:

"...Alright."

Since the matter was settled, the next step was to implement it.

Beichuan Si went home first, while Shen Gu Mirai stayed in the classroom, awaiting the karaoke gathering.

But—

"Why did Mr. Temple suddenly want me to stay for the karaoke gathering?"

Shen Gu Mirai furrowed her brows in contemplation.

There must be a reason for Beichuan Si's sudden decision... But what exactly is that reason...?

"Come to think of it, Mr. Temple seemed to occasionally glance around blankly these past few days... I thought it was an illusion, but..."

Shen Gu Mirai blinked her beautiful eyes.

She was a girl of keen observation and immediately thought of Beichuan Si's recent unnatural demeanor.

Like this... suddenly looking around...

What does this action suggest?

Shen Gu Mirai looked around thoughtfully.

Then she tried to calm down and sense the surroundings.

No use.

She couldn't sense anything.

The noisy discussions of the students around her directly interfered with her judgment.

"So curious..." muttered Shen Gu Mirai.

...

Meanwhile, after leaving Shen Gu Mirai, Beichuan Si quickly dashed back home.
