This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame

Chapter 490: Human Emotions—Simple Yet Complex


Yeah...what exactly is Beichuan Si thinking?

Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi are completely baffled.

From start to finish, he only asked a few questions, said a couple of sentences, and did nothing else, right?

"So what exactly happened...? What exactly happened? I completely don't understand..." Inari Oneji wanted to continue speaking, but was stopped by her elder brother, Inari Keiichi.

Inari Keiichi shook his head at her:

"We can't do anything about it."

Yes, there's nothing we can do.

As Beichuan Si said, he doesn't have any mind reading technique, and he's not a deity; how could he resolve things so easily?

And the clues are indeed too few now. They can't possibly convict Anda Yoshiko just because of their conjectures.

"But still, I did not expect...didn't expect even Brother Temple couldn't resolve this matter."

Inari Keiichi said with a sigh.

He originally thought that Beichuan Si's presence would easily resolve everything.

But now it seems...

It appears hoping for Beichuan Si to solve it is futile; everyone needs to work together—

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Inside the elevator, Beichuan Si, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

He raised his gaze, looking directly at Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi, without changing his tone: "The situation is already resolved. Tomorrow, it's just for you to come and see Anda Yoshiko's state."

"????" Inari Oneji, Inari Keiichi.

The two exorcists from the Inari Main Family couldn't suppress their inner surprise, and an utterly unbelieving voice followed:

"The situation is already resolved?!

No...how did you solve it? How come we were by your side the whole time and didn't notice?"

They were completely dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened.

But Beichuan Si admitted with a calm expression:

"It truly is over."

"But how exactly?..." Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi stared at him in astonishment.

The elevator continued its descent, deepening Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi's confusion.

Finally, within their bewildered expressions, Beichuan Si began to explain: "Actually, the whole matter isn't that complicated. Solving it was within my expectations."

Not that complicated...

Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi couldn't help but rub their temples.

At that moment, their faces were burning, feeling uncomfortable all over.

They had just been saying Beichuan Si didn't resolve the matter...and now?

He had already quietly resolved everything without their knowledge.

"Re...really worthy of Brother Beichuan." Inari Keiichi straightforwardly commented.

He felt his praise for Beichuan Si was becoming more automatic and thoughtless.

Yet Beichuan Si didn't care about Inari Keiichi's words; he simply took a folded square note from his pocket.

"This is...?"

Inari Oneji blinked in confusion.

"This is something I took out from Anda Yoshiko's amulet." Beichuan Si did not hide it, speaking directly.

"Wait!" Inari Oneji extended her hand, speaking in an inexplicable tone: "...This, this is something taken out from the amulet?"

"Yes."

Beichuan Si nodded.

"...Is it something from Miss Anda's mother's relic?"

Inari Oneji added a detail.

"So what?" Beichuan Si replied again.

"...You took this out from someone else's mother's relic? Is it really okay?"

Inari Oneji wanted to emphasize the seriousness of the issue.

And when did Beichuan Si take out this small piece of paper?

Could it be—

Inari Oneji immediately recalled the incident where the vase beside the TV suddenly exploded earlier.

Could it be that Beichuan Si did it?

As she was about to ask, Beichuan Si's response echoed:

"It's just as you think, I used my ability to shatter the vase, and when you were drawn over, I took the item out...Honestly, I don't see any problem."

Beichuan Si answered without any change in expression.

This overly righteous attitude left Inari Oneji momentarily speechless.

At this moment, the voice of Inari Keiichi suddenly came over:

"Oneji, try looking with your good sense."

"Uh..."

Inari Oneji looked at her elder brother, noticing him signaling at her, and she doubtedly covered her eyes with her good sense.

Within the sight of the good sense, the surface of the small paper was entangled with a faint, almost invisible resentment.

Due to its concentrated nature, it was hard to see unless observed closely.

"This is—"

Inari Oneji's pupils shrank, her incredulous voice following: "How could it be this way?"

She had seen many objects with resentment and had even encountered items possessing more intense resentment.

But...this was something inside Miss Anda's mother's relic.

Why would something symbolizing peace be hiding in the amulet?

Always wearing this thing close to the body...no wonder Anda Yoshiko was having nightmares every night.

"But why?"

Inari Oneji moved closer, instinctively holding Beichuan Si's arm, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

"I should have mentioned before, don't underestimate the relationships and emotional changes between people."

Beichuan Si looked at her disbelieving expression, continuing to explain:
