After that, Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi went to Anda Yoshiko's house.

As Beichuan Si had said, after he took out the small paper slip from the charm, Anda Yoshiko never had nightmares again, and the bluish bruises on her neck gradually faded.

Seeing Anda Yoshiko cherish an empty charm, Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi exchanged glances, hesitating whether to reveal the hidden truth to her.

Although Beichuan Si had said that Anda Yoshiko already knew everything, however—

In the end, Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi decided not to tell Anda Yoshiko the truth.

Because this kind of thing... perhaps it was better for Anda Yoshiko not to know.

However... when the Inari siblings were about to formally get up to say goodbye, Anda Yoshiko stood up to see them off.

"Thank you both for resolving this issue for me, and I also thank Mr. Beichuan."

When she said this, Inari Oneji and Inari Keiichi were both taken aback.

Soon, the two fell silent.

It seemed, just as Beichuan Si predicted, that Anda Yoshiko indeed knew what her mother had done inside the charm, but she never openly expressed it.

But—

"What does this have to do with me?"

Beichuan Si placed the paper filled with resentment from Anda Yoshiko's mother into the notebook, continuing to speak to Inari Oneji, "There's nothing surprising anymore at this point. As long as this strange dream matter is resolved, everything is settled, and I don't care about other people's family affairs."

"...I mean, you..."

Listening to Beichuan Si's indifferent words, Inari Oneji couldn't help but twitch her mouth, feeling inexplicably odd inside.

She knew Beichuan Si's character, typical of being sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.

He said 'I don't care about other people's family affairs,' yet he tactfully refrained from exposing everything in front of Anda Yoshiko.

If he truly didn't care, telling Anda Yoshiko everything wouldn't be a big deal, right?

"You really are..."

Inari Oneji pouted.

"Is there anything else?"

Beichuan Si's cold questioning voice came from the phone.

Listening to Beichuan Si's question, Inari Oneji's face inexplicably reddened.

She hesitated for a moment, then stammered:

"Yes, there are some things..."

Feeling light-headed and dizzy, Inari Oneji seemed to make a decision, and biting her lip, she shouted into the phone:

"Brother Beichuan is the best in the world!"

Inari Oneji turned bright red, and as soon as she shouted, she hung up and lay down on the bed.

After a while, she covered her face with a pillow, and only then did a voice barely escape:

"Really... so embarrassing."

Leaving Inari Oneji aside, on the other side, Beichuan Si raised his eyebrow in slight surprise, then glanced at the phone screen, realizing the call had been terminated, and did not bother to pay more attention.

He placed the phone aside and organized the notebooks with the plastic slots in it.

These notebooks are actually just common ones with plastic storage slots on the market.

Beichuan Si preserved all the small paper slips from previous investigations within them.

For example, Xucha High School's victims' notes, newspaper materials from the Shenzhu Village investigation... these bits and pieces were all kept by Beichuan Si inside.

Of course, Beichuan Si's long-term accumulation was certainly more than just that.

Beside him were several more identical notebooks with plastic slots.

Nishijou Kurenai held one notebook, trying to force another body of hers into the plastic slot, but as mentioned before, it's merely a notebook for postcards and small papers, impossible to fit a round plush body inside.

However, Nishijou Kurenai paid no attention to these facts; she forcefully grabbed the head of the other 'herself,' pressing the round hands down trying to fit it into the plastic slot, but the plush head identical to hers was almost squashed yet still didn't fit.

It was plain to see it wouldn't fit... but Nishijou Kurenai was stubbornly determined.

Having used her hands, now her feet!

She stood up, and just as she was about to step on the other body—

Beichuan Si effortlessly lifted Nishijou Kurenai.

No kidding, one stomp and the whole notebook would crack.

Beichuan Si didn't want to buy another one.

Seeing her struggling limbs, her plush face puffed up in anger, Beichuan Si simply patted Nishijou Kurenai's head, speaking calmly, "Don't mess around, Nishijou. If you want some kind of display stand, I'll have someone build a glass platform for your body in the future, and you can place it on it, any pose you like."

This remark made Nishijou Kurenai pause in deep thought.

Then—

She nodded vigorously, extending her round hand to make a promise with Beichuan Si.

No kidding, glass platforms are so stylish! Nishijou Kurenai must have one!

After making a promise with Beichuan Si, Nishijou Kurenai forcefully pulled her other body out from the plastic slot.

Seeing her standing there as if exhausted, Beichuan Si shook his head.
