The next day.

Beichuan Si got up early.

After waking up, Beichuan Si unhesitatingly knocked on Beichuan Huili's door.

As if treating Nakajima Michika, he treated Beichuan Huili.

Both were dragged out; the only difference is Nakajima Michika went for a fast walk, while Beichuan Huili went for a slow jog.

During this time, Beichuan Huili wanted to give up halfway home several times, but under Beichuan Si's strict demands, she finished the entire route.

Watching Beichuan Huili, who was withdrawn on the sofa, Beichuan Si didn't say much, just placed the breakfast plate and lunchbox in front of her and left.

It seems she still needs some time to adapt.

This is actually the same logic as raising wild boars at home; changing to a new lifestyle, feeling a bit unaccustomed is natural.

But no matter what, Beichuan Si is impossible to let her give up halfway on the matter of losing weight.

Spending such effort to lure her into the trap, how could he allow her to give up so easily?

Thinking of this, Beichuan Si lifted his head and scanned the surroundings.

Today, just like yesterday, the students of Kyubei occasionally glanced his way.

This is natural, after all, the internet exposure started the day before yesterday.

This is akin to those internet celebrity photos and phrases in China; they start with a heatwave across the web, but with time, gradually fade from people's sight.

Pleasing quirky and eye-catching things... In essence, this is the same whether it's Japanese high school students or Chinese high school students.

Regarding this situation, Beichuan Si just kept a calm mindset and didn't care.

Just as he was thinking about this, a cheerful voice came from behind him.

"Mr. Temple!"

Beichuan Si didn't even need to turn his head to know it was Shen Gu Mirai.

Shen Gu Mirai naturally approached Beichuan Si, unhesitatingly hugging Beichuan Si's arm, this person seemingly wanting to stick to him made Beichuan Si slightly shift his gaze.

"Mirai, you're late again."

He spoke blandly.

Yes, recently, for some reason, Shen Gu Mirai's waking time has been growing later and later.

Previously, Shen Gu Mirai would typically be at the classroom before him, but lately, Beichuan Si would often encounter her on the way——

"Didn't sleep well?" Beichuan Si asked.

"... Hmm... Rather than saying I didn't sleep well..." Shen Gu Mirai lifted her head, touched her chin, seeming somewhat unable to articulate.

Seeing her this way, Beichuan Si's eyes flickered, reacting swiftly he asked: "Is it that strange dream problem?"

He remembered clearly, during the previous trip to Yamanashi Prefecture Shen Gu Mirai had mentioned the dream issues after obtaining the Mouchi Witch's Certificate.

"Couldn't hide it from Mr. Temple after all."

Shen Gu Mirai chuckled dryly twice, then she nodded, confirming Beichuan Si's thoughts.

Just as Beichuan Si had anticipated, Shen Gu Mirai had been dreaming constantly.

The dream included mostly fragmented, bizarre, eerie scenes.

These dream scenes, starting vague, recently delving, gradually clarifying... Shen Gu Mirai seemed to feel the things in the dream were what she experienced... The people in the dream were also the people she saw... She seemed entirely to become the person in the dream.

This was undoubtedly a terrifying experience.

As if her own self was about to be invaded.

Shen Gu Mirai's gaze turned empty, evidently falling into contemplation.

"Because the dreams are gradually clarifying, I can also remember some things now."

"First is a strange totem... The things on it... I don't even know how to describe... Anyway, they're something impersonating humans yet not human."

She instinctively reached out to gesture, continuing: "Also, there's a torii gate... An especially tall torii gate. If you casually glance at it, it's at least ten meters tall, huge, with sinister red pillars... The whole torii gate stood over water... beside it, some people were chanting sentences..."

Shen Gu Mirai drew her fingers back, clutching the Mouchi Witch's Certificate tightly against her chest.

She took a deep breath.

As if recalling to this point, continuing was already difficult.

"Those sentences... Because of their inexplicable hazy hoarse feeling, I could only understand one or two out of them..."

"Heavenly Bird Shrine... communication... something something."

Saying this, Shen Gu Mirai waved her hand.

"And some green specks were flickering around, I don't even know what they are."

The recollection roughly stopped at this point, anything more Shen Gu Mirai couldn't remember.

"It's thanks to this increasingly clear strange dream... so I've been sleeping longer and longer recently..."

Upon saying this, Shen Gu Mirai couldn't help but rub her temples.

Her physical condition wasn't concerning, whether it's the application of good intentions or other matters, there's no feeling of obscurity, and she also knew to plan ahead, promptly finding Magong Yongshi and Shenzhu Shihui, letting these two Shenzhu witches examine her physical condition.

The result was that there were no problems.

"This should be the residual memories within the Mouchi Witch's Certificate... Just these memories are too intense, so some in unconscious dreams manifested. Um... Miss Yongshi said so."

Shen Gu Mirai recalled the conclusion Magong Yongshi made and told Beichuan Si.

Magong Yongshi's conclusion?

Beichuan Si flicked his fingers.

This was somewhat reliable, after all, it was a conclusion made by Magong Yongshi.
