This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame-Chapter 612 - 382: Get Married on the Spot, Please (4000 words)

In fact, the relationship between Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai, as seen through the eyes of outsiders, was simply that one was the Kyubei North Demon King and the other was his deskmate, a cute little girl who often talked to him.

After all, no one could imagine what it would be like for Beichuan Si, the Kyubei North Demon King, to have a girlfriend.

Those little girls who claimed to be Beichuan Si’s girlfriends were indeed more interested in him, but their interest was merely that.

If they were really to become Beichuan Si’s girlfriend—

They probably would’ve been sunk in Tokyo Bay the next day.

The most direct result of this was that these delinquent boys came to intimidate Shen Gu Mirai.

Beichuan Si flicked his fingers and, without deigning to look at the bruised and swollen gangsters on the ground, turned and walked away.

After a bout of ’friendly exchange’ and cordial ’touching,’ these delinquents had tearfully agreed to all of Beichuan Si’s demands.

Setting these aside, it was time for Beichuan Si to head toward the school gate.

Shen Gu Mirai should be waiting for him at the school entrance right now—

That’s what should have been happening.

Having left the activity building, Beichuan Si glanced sideways at the landscape shrubbery and called out in an even tone, "Mirai, come out."

The shrubbery did not stir; it remained just a cluster of bushes.

Beichuan Si didn’t speak, merely observing the shrubbery quietly.

A little while later...

Finally, under Beichuan Si’s silent gaze, the shrubbery showed signs of life.

"Alright, alright!"

A medium-haired little girl made a gesture of surrender and emerged from behind the landscape shrubbery.

Cherry-pink thin lips, gentle and radiant big eyes, and that characteristic, mischievous sparkle in her eyes.

Who else could this be but Shen Gu Mirai?

As she hopped out from behind the shrubbery, clutching her skirt, her gaze restlessly jumped around Beichuan Si.

Seeing that Shen Gu Mirai had finally come out, Beichuan Si simply nodded, "Let’s go."

Beichuan Si’s apparent lack of questions caused Shen Gu Mirai to blink and obediently follow behind him.

But this obedience was momentary.

Shen Gu Mirai’s sneaky curiosity began to stir. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

When exactly had Beichuan Si been behind the activity building?

If it weren’t for Shen Gu Mirai incidentally noticing a figure at the very back of the activity building, she would never have returned there.

Could it be that Beichuan Si knew from the start that she had run into trouble? And he had come to the activity building early on purpose, to stake out and solve her problem...?

Just the thought of it made Shen Gu Mirai almost burst into song.

Jeez! Mr. Temple really does care about me! Normally, he’s all cold and indifferent.

Shen Gu Mirai indulged in her imagination.

It was then that the usually silent Beichuan Si spoke up:

"What you’re currently imagining might not match reality."

He turned his face toward Shen Gu Mirai and said directly, "I was actually planning to check on Hui Li’s painting at the activity building, then I heard some noise from behind it. When I went around to the back door, I saw you confronting those delinquent students."

Uh—

Shen Gu Mirai’s face turned red.

After a while, she shook Beichuan Si’s elbow, protesting unhappily, "I don’t care, I don’t care! It’s just like I thought! Mr. Temple, you were behind the activity building just to check on me!"

Beichuan Si remained silent, simply watching her act of coquetry.

As Beichuan Si continued to watch her like this, Shen Gu Mirai cleared her throat twice and then withdrew her hand.

They continued walking for a while and left Kyubei High School.

Suddenly, Shen Gu Mirai spoke up.

"Mr. Temple."

"I’m sorry."

Her sudden apology was out of the blue and somewhat cryptic, leaving it unclear what she meant.

But Beichuan Si understood what Shen Gu Mirai meant.

She wanted to apologize for what had happened that afternoon.

She hadn’t told Beichuan Si and had just made a decision to come over.

Although she ended up having the upper hand and leaving, who could really fathom the thoughts of a group of delinquents?

What if these older delinquent students had completely ignored her threats and started attacking?

Shen Gu Mirai was apologizing for that.

Faced with Shen Gu Mirai’s apology, Beichuan Si thoughtfully nodded: "You indeed should apologize."

"Huh?" Shen Gu Mirai tilted her head.

Wasn’t this the moment when Beichuan Si was supposed to say ’why are you apologizing’ with an emotionless face?

Yet, Beichuan Si straightforwardly acknowledged that she really should apologize?

"That’s so not like Mr. Temple." Shen Gu Mirai muttered softly.

Halfway through speaking, she covered her mouth again.

Because Beichuan Si’s gaze had shifted back to her.

Shen Gu Mirai felt his eyes linger on her face for a moment.

Then she heard Beichuan Si’s emotionless voice.

"I think the most abnormal thing is letting your girlfriend go deal with those delinquents, right?"

"Ah. Yeah, that’s true." Shen Gu Mirai nodded without thinking.

A short while passed—

Huh?

Huh??????

Finally realizing what Beichuan Si had just said, Shen Gu Mirai’s face stiffened.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Beichuan Si: "Mr., Mr. Temple, what did you just say?"
