Morioka Youko undoubtedly felt a sense of surprise and asked subconsciously, "Have you finished your tasks?"

"...Ahem..." Miyashita looked away, a bit embarrassed.

What does it mean to have 'finished the tasks'?

They hadn't actually gone to do anything at all.

The entire morning was spent wandering around the Kyubei Festival.

Just moments ago, they were excitedly discussing which stall to play at next.

And then they ran into an unexpected person—

Beichuan Si, dressed in a dirty, blood-stained doctor's outfit.

The following conversation ensued:

Beichuan Si asked in a cold voice, "You were supposed to be on duty this morning, right?"

Miyashita and the other students dared not say a word in response.

"Now go on duty until the afternoon," Beichuan Si ordered calmly.

It must be said that Miyashita and his group were effectively driven back to their posts by Beichuan Si.

They certainly hadn't volunteered for duty.

"Morioka, you go ahead and enjoy the Kyubei Festival. We will take over from here," Miyashita said with a guilty conscience.

"Oh... well, thank you for that, Miyashita," Morioka Youko replied, somewhat stunned by the other's 'eager-to-help' attitude, but she still thanked them before packing up her lunch and leaving.

Morioka Youko had intended to enjoy the Kyubei Festival wholeheartedly, without anyone telling her to do so.

But then—

"Was Miyashita always so keen on class interests?" Morioka Youko wondered with a bit of puzzlement.

Quickly, that sliver of doubt was washed away by the lively and cheerful atmosphere of the Kyubei Festival. Morioka Youko didn't bother to ponder deeply and happily ran off to her favorite dessert stall to buy the sweets she wanted.

Unnoticed by her, Beichuan Si, now changed into the Kyubei uniform, watched everything unfold and then silently blended into the crowd.

His reason for helping Morioka Youko was simple.

Morioka Youko was just someone who was pulled in to take the fall, and those who had dragged her into it certainly wouldn't have wanted to work at the Kyubei Festival.

As a result, the duties that belonged to that group naturally fell on Morioka Youko.

Even Beichuan Si didn't want to see Morioka Youko, a useful tool... a classmate, suffer.

So, he spent some time finding the students on duty and drove them back to their posts.

"There's no problem there now," Beichuan Si muttered to himself.

With Magong Yongshi watching the haunted house, he wasn't the least bit worried.

Shenzhu Shihui and Nishijou Kurenai already had their routine down for scaring people; even without Beichuan Si there, these two good spirits wouldn't let the tourists off easy.

With that settled, it's time to deal with what comes next—

Beichuan Si turned around.

"Beichuan! What should we do about this?! What to do? Police Chief! I found a police chief's ID! This is the police chief! We're done for! The Beichuan Divine Society is going to be ruined!"

Qiuxiao Yunai held the police ID in her hands, flustered.

Her appearance made even Beichuan Si rub his temples.

Just after he changed his clothes, his phone rang, and it was a call from Qiuxiao Yunai, the Great Ming Guangde Mage.

Once he picked up, Beichuan Si heard Qiuxiao Yunai's panicked voice:

"We're finished, Beichuan! Our Beichuan Divine Society is finished!"

Hearing these words, Beichuan Si's mind flashed through countless guesses.

The Beichuan Divine Society is finished? How could it be finished? Shouldn't it be thriving?

Just as he was about to ask questions, Qiuxiao Yunai blurted out from the other end:

"I found a police chief's ID! This time we're really dead!"

At that moment, Beichuan Si was silent for a long time.

Finally, he hung up the call.

But what Beichuan Si didn't expect was that, after hanging up, countless calls came in. Beichuan Si cut off over a dozen calls, but Qiuxiao Yunai kept calling.

Her inexplicable persistence managed to surprise Beichuan Si.

Moved by Qiuxiao Yunai's persistence, Beichuan Si picked up the phone again...

And that's how it turned out to be.

Qiuxiao Yunai, holding the police ID with a panicked face, was circling around him.

Beichuan Si spoke in an even tone, "Calm down, Qiuxiao."

His words made the anxious Qiuxiao Yunai finally stop in her tracks, and a hint of composure returned to her slightly chubby face.

"Let me see the ID," Beichuan Si extended his hand.

"Okay," Qiuxiao Yunai handed over the police ID with both hands.

In Japan, a police officer's ID is actually called a Police Officer's Handbook, with an outer layer featuring a pale gold police badge. When you spread it open, you can see the police officer's name and rank.

Logically, there should also be information recorded about the police station they belong to...

Thinking this, Beichuan Si opened up the police badge.

And then, he saw a face that was all too familiar.

"...Liangzi?" Beichuan Si raised his eyebrows.

Was Gangye Yoshiko also attending the Kyubei Festival?

Wasn't she already busy enough with work? How did she have time to wander around a high school festival?

Beichuan Si snapped his fingers.

After double-checking and confirming it was indeed Gangye Yoshiko's police badge, Beichuan Si spoke to Qiuxiao Yunai to reassure her,

"Don't worry, I know this officer. I'll just give her a call, and she can come to pick this up."

Upon hearing Beichuan Si say that, a look of suspicion quickly crossed Qiuxiao Yunai's pretty face, "Beichuan, you know this police officer?"

"Yeah," Beichuan Si nodded and after a moment of thought, added, "We're good friends, I guess."

Huh?!

Good friends?

When she heard this title, Qiuxiao Yunai, who had been shrinking back, suddenly changed her posture.

She straightened up, her expression full of triumph.

So Beichuan Si actually knew someone from the police circles! This was the first she'd heard of it!

If that's the case, did that mean she now had police connections as well?

This was fantastic!

You have to understand, this is Tokyo. Their Qiuxiao Conglomerate was at most considered a provincial magnate in Gunma Prefecture. Compared to the power players in Tokyo, they were nothing.

And Gangye Yoshiko was so young to already be a Police Chief. How significant must her background be?

That meant the Beichuan Divine Society could now be considered an organization with police backing!

"Let me contact Liangzi first," said Beichuan Si, ignoring Qiuxiao Yunai's demeanor, and after a simple statement, he called Gangye Yoshiko.

As he waited for the call to be answered, he pondered silently.

From the beginning, he'd only counted on issues concerning Beichuan Lin and Shen Gu Mirai.

It was completely unexpected for Gangye Yoshiko to come.

Not to mention now having Qiuxiao Yunai right by his side.

What was this? A hodgepodge?

Didn't you all have better things to do?

If things continue at this rate, will Shan Yuanmu Yuzi's father show up at Kyubei High School?

That's the party leader, a significant voice in Tokyo's political realm.

If he also appeared here...

"Things would be somewhat improper."

Beichuan Si murmured to himself.

He wanted to keep some things hidden from Beichuan Lin, but it felt like today all those things were about to be laid bare before her.

Not to mention the sisters from the famous European new artist duo, Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang.

Since Beichuan Lin was a designer, she must be very familiar with them as well.

And then there's the national music icon, Nakajima Michika. Wouldn't she also join in the hubbub?

Beichuan Si thought it over and over and finally shook his head.

No...

It just seems too ideal... too extreme.

No matter how he thought, real life couldn't possibly lack logic this much.

Beichuan Si realized that the 'dance of frenzied spirits' scenario he had imagined would simply not occur if he just thought about it rationally.

Isn't the party leader busy?

Aren't Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang busy?

Isn't Nakajima Michika salty?

How could they come to Kyubei High School without any logical reason?

Even a third-rate novel wouldn't dare write like this, right?

"So, it's impossible no matter how you think about it."

Beichuan Si asserted so.

And just as he was pondering over this, the call to Gangye Yoshiko finally got through.
