This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame-Chapter 590 - 371. Longhouse (8000-word target achieved)
Compared to the complex emotions of the Kyubei Festival Executive Committee members, Beichuan Si’s thoughts were quite simple.
It wasn’t that Beichuan Si wanted to get involved in their meeting, but rather because he had planned to go home when he received a call from Qian Xia Chiyuki, who hoped he would come here, saying there were some things she wanted to tell him.
And in the end, it turned into this current situation.
Once Qian Xia Chiyuki had finished explaining some regulations and issues that needed attention to these committee members, they stood up hurriedly and left quickly.
They didn’t even raise any questions.
Watching everyone leave as if they couldn’t wait to ’escape this hell’, Qian Xia Chiyuki couldn’t help but rub her temples.
She was naturally aware of Beichuan Si’s reputation as the ’Kyubei North Demon King’.
However, having dealt with Beichuan Si, she had never thought that his reputation had become like this.
Beichuan Si’s personality was actually not bad...
Thinking of this, Qian Xia Chiyuki stretched out her hand to invite him, "Beichuan, please come sit over here."
"Is the meeting over?" asked Beichuan Si as he naturally pulled over a stool and sat down.
Qian Xia Chiyuki smiled and nodded, "Yes." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
She then took out a list and explained to Beichuan Si, "The club meeting ended before the Executive Committee meeting, and now I’m pretty free."
This answer didn’t have much to do with Beichuan Si, who then asked the question he was most concerned about, "What did you want to see me for?"
"Beichuan is the same as ever... always so straightforward."
With a cheerful laugh, Qian Xia Chiyuki explained to Beichuan Si, "Actually, this time it’s not me looking for you, but Risa who wants to see you for something."
Risa...?
"Tsukishima Risa?" Beichuan Si asked back.
He had an impression of the girl who could manage two cups of milk tea.
The former president of Kyubei High School’s Student Council, the Sanmu Puppet Factory incident had made Beichuan Si acquainted with her.
But she had already enrolled at Tohoku University two months earlier, so why was her name being brought up all of a sudden?
Although Miyagi Prefecture wasn’t particularly far from Tokyo, it wasn’t a distance one could easily come and go.
Beichuan Si looked at Qian Xia Chiyuki, hoping she could give him an explanation.
"Cough... The thing is like this."
Qian Xia Chiyuki cleared her throat and started to explain the ins and outs of the situation to Beichuan Si.
Tsukishima Risa had indeed become a student at Tohoku University, but these days Tohoku University was hosting an ’Open Campus Day’ event, so she had a few days off.
During these few days, she naturally wanted to return to Tokyo to stay for a day or two, visit her parents, and also see someone she wanted to see.
And Beichuan Si was just one of the people she wanted to meet.
"Yesterday I met with Risa, and she is doing well. She also expressed a desire to meet with you. However, I always felt that Risa didn’t finish what she wanted to say; she must have something she wants to ask of you."
Qian Xia Chiyuki thought for a moment before adding, "Anyway, I am just the messenger. Whether you want to meet Risa or not is entirely up to you, Beichuan."
She knew that a person like Beichuan Si couldn’t be deceived, so she straightforwardly told him everything she knew and left the choice to him.
With such a sincere display from her, it was actually a bit difficult for Beichuan Si to refuse.
He looked at Qian Xia Chiyuki and took a moment to think before replying, "I can."
Tsukishima Sen, Tsukishima Risa’s father, had also taken good care of him during the previous Yuchuan Elementary School incident. Without Tsukishima Sen’s introduction, he would have had to put in a lot of effort to meet "The Lost Yuchuan"’s author, Seto Cheng.
For this reason, it was fitting and proper for Beichuan Si to meet with Tsukishima Risa.
Upon hearing Beichuan Si’s answer, Qian Xia Chiyuki visibly relaxed.
Although she said it was up to Beichuan Si to make the choice, as a friend, she still hoped that Beichuan Si would meet Tsukishima Risa.
Now that she had Beichuan Si’s answer, Qian Xia Chiyuki didn’t hesitate to say, "In that case, I’ll give Risa a call right now, and you can come with me, Beichuan."
"Mhm," Beichuan Si responded.
Qian Xia Chiyuki made a call to Tsukishima Risa, negotiated for a while over the phone, and then decided on a location.
She hung up the phone satisfied and turned back to Beichuan Si with a greeting.
"Let’s go, Beichuan. We’re heading to CURE Café."
"Okay." Beichuan Si didn’t dawdle and stood up, following Qian Xia Chiyuki, who had already packed up her things.
The two of them made their way to CURE Café, and on the way, they could still hear some Kyubei students discussing the Kyubei Festival.
Hearing these words, Qian Xia Chiyuki became a bit nostalgic, "Actually, Risa also wanted to come and play during the Kyubei Festival, but time wouldn’t allow it. Her academic workload over there is quite tight."
"That’s true," Beichuan Si agreed.
Being a renowned university in Japan, Tohoku University certainly had a heavy academic workload... more precisely, if you wanted to learn something in university, you would need to put in more effort than in high school.
Just enjoying yourself every day would not lead to any academic achievement.
So the two continued walking and talking, and after five minutes, they arrived at CURE Café.
