This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame-Chapter 620 - 386. Unsettled Situation (4000 words)

At least informing your parents about your own engagement would be the more prudent course of action, a consideration of a normal person.

After all, if you were engaged outside, you definitely couldn’t do it without mentioning a word to your parents.

Moreover, it’s best for the parents of both parties to meet again to be more secure.

Shen Gu Mirai’s parents were not old-fashioned either. Although Beichuan Lin was strict with Beichuan Si and Beichuan Huili, she was quite approachable outside, not to mention Shen Gu Mirai’s parents were renowned scholars at the university. Solely in terms of social class, they were considered an upper-middle-class family in Tokyo.

Additionally, since Shen Gu Mirai was smart and capable, Beichuan Lin should logically have no dissatisfaction.

He meant to ask Beichuan Lin roughly when she would return, but since she was planning to come back during the Kyubei Festival on next Wednesday, there was no need for Beichuan Si to inquire further.

"She didn’t tell me exactly when she’ll be back," shook his head Beichuan Si.

If Beichuan Lin had told him the return time, he could have prepared to pick her up at the airport. But it seemed like she did not want to trouble him to go to the airport specially, so she never mentioned it—

It seemed that his predecessor’s somewhat cold attitude towards Beichuan Lin had indeed made an impression on her...

With this thought, Beichuan Si stuffed his mobile phone into his trouser pocket.

"Nakajima Michika’s matters, Nakajima Conglomerate’s affairs, political party leader Shan Yuanmu’s issues... And Qiuxiao Yunai, Beichuan Divine Society’s matters..."

Just briefly mentioning a litany of them, they were all things that would be utterly unbelievable to Beichuan Lin.

Only Hui Li, with her oblivious nature, did not ask a single question and cheerfully called out ’Brother Temple is the best in the world’.

But what about Beichuan Lin?

As an adult, she couldn’t possibly think of nothing and also come out with a ’my son is the best in the world,’ could she?

After all, she was an adult, and her angle of thinking and acting would definitely be more mature than Hui Li’s.

Facing such a person...

"Apart from Nakajima Michika’s matters, let’s slightly conceal the rest," Beichuan Si came to a decision in his mind.

His mother would only be back for two days, she surely couldn’t possibly figure out everything he had done in Tokyo in that short time?

That seemed rather unlikely.

It was more prudent to temporarily hide these impactful truths.

Let time soften these issues.

Beichuan Si came to a halt, took out his key, and unlocked the front door.

At this moment.

There were still five days left until the Kyubei Festival.

...

Five days was neither long nor short, at least for Beichuan Si.

In the blink of an eye, four days passed, and his second-year A class had more or less prepared all the haunted house props, and today was the class meeting dedicated to discussing the haunted house event.

But the class meeting barely started when everyone got stuck on the first dilemma.

Who would act as the haunted house performers?

Indeed, even if it wasn’t a perfect haunted house, there would be real actors inside, not just relying on mechanisms and small props.

Truthfully, everyone wanted to eat, drink, and have fun during the Kyubei Festival, who would want to be cooped up in a classroom during summer, with sticky makeup on their face, wearing tattered clothes, doing a thankless job?

Moreover—

The students all glanced fearfully at Beichuan Si, who was seated in the very center of the classroom.

With an expressionless face, Beichuan Si placed his arms on his thighs, sitting upright and proper.

The Beichuan Demon King had brought various handmade horrific props from home almost every day these past few days, which significantly eased the class’s workload.

But the more he did this, the more afraid the students became.

The Beichuan Demon King was so enthusiastic about the haunted house.

Did this mean the Beichuan Demon King cared a lot about the haunted house event?

If two lousy actors ended up ruining the Beichuan Demon King’s haunted house reputation...

Everyone shuddered and dared not to continue thinking.

Under this pressure, the already scarce willingness to volunteer as haunted house actors became even more dire.

The class advisor Qianhe Kagura suddenly cleared her throat loudly.

When everyone’s attention was drawn to her, Qianhe Kagura spoke, "Actually, someone has already mentioned the role of the haunted house actors to me... Beichuan said he’s willing to take on the job of haunted house performer. And considering Beichuan’s active preparation of props these days, I think there should be no complaints from everyone about Beichuan playing the ghost in the haunted house, right?"

The Beichuan Demon King voluntarily becoming an actor!?

Everyone looked towards Beichuan Si, shocked by the news.

But they quickly realized.

Beichuan Si wanted to take matters into his own hands!

Seeing everyone looking his way, the usually quiet Beichuan Si also spoke up and asked, "Does any classmate have objections?"

"..."

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Who would dare to object?

Sitting on a bench near the podium, Qianhe Kagura made the decision;

"Since that’s the case, Beichuan will be responsible for the haunted house actors this time."

Upon her decision, someone couldn’t help but whisper, "But, but... Is Beichuan the only one to act as the haunted house performer?"

Even though the haunted house was small in scale, one person would still be too busy to manage it all, right?

"You don’t need to worry about that," Qianhe Kagura looked at Beichuan Si indifferently.

Without providing a reason, she simply said, ’Don’t worry.’
