This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

In the field of vision of Beichuan Temple, system tasks are neatly listed.

'System prompt: The dark Sifang Shrine, the bright light that can no longer be turned on, the Sifang Magatama that spins and turns, the thoughts are swallowed up by the squirming pieces of flesh in the dark corner... The dark resentment and fear are intertwined, the corpse's pale and twisted palms Reaching out from behind you, uneasiness pulls at your ankles, fear makes your forehead break out in cold sweat, and your feet tremble. The dark figure has enveloped you, and the roar of the resentful spirit lingers in your ears for a long time, but you can only endure it. Feeling uneasy in your heart, continue to explore the dilapidated shrine, even if you don't know what is waiting for you——'

The introduction to the system was as long and meaningless as ever. Kitagawaji glanced at it expressionlessly and continued to look down.

Underneath this commentary was what he cared about most.

‘Mission Completion Conditions (1): Explore the Sifang Shrine and learn what happened in the ‘Dark Moon Period’ in the past. ’

‘Quest completion conditions (2): Open the Sifang Altar, explore the fifth altar, and close the Sifang Altar after completion. ’

‘Mission completion reward: Stone of Fujin. ’

Only the first condition for completing these two tasks, Beichuan Temple, was met, because Hui Shi Tang recorded many secrets about the Sifang family.

Now Beichuan Temple only needs to re-seal the relit Sifang Altar, and the entire task is officially over.

Closing the Sifang Altar... To be honest, this is not a difficult task for Beichuan Temple. According to Sifang Kaguya, the Yuehui Mirror and the Moon Observation Mirror can revive the Sifang Altar, and they can also reopen the Sifang Altar. sunk to the ground.

but--

Are you okay there? Beichuanji turned his head and asked Kaguya Shifang, who was leading the way with his head lowered.

This question made Sifang Kaguya stunned, and she turned around:

Is it okay...What does this refer to? Master Beichuan?

She didn't seem to understand.

Seeing her like this, Beichuan Temple did not hesitate: Have you not considered whether closing the Sifang Shrine will affect your position in the Sifang family?

Yes.

Kaguya Shifang no longer has to worry about her body being forcefully occupied by another Kaguya. But her problems were not fundamentally solved.

If the Sifang family leader who is waiting for the result of the elixir of immortality knows that the other Kaguya has been solved by Kitagawa Temple, the elixir of immortality is only a incomplete product and has been swallowed and used by another Kaguya...

She was not in a good position.

After all, she was just cultivated to serve as a container for another Shifang Kaguya's body, and she only had the false title of 'the adopted daughter of the head of the Sifang family'.

Shifang Kaguya did not rush to answer Beichuanji, but turned her head and stared at the other person.

The young man in front of him saved his own insignificant life, which was floating like a feather.

She might still be floating now, without a position or an opinion...but before that...she found that she seemed to be able to do something for the young man in front of her.

Mayfly couldn't make a choice, so it was up to him to help him make a choice.

Mayfly has no position, so let him act as his own position.

In this process, perhaps you can also find your own position and your own choices.

Kaguya Shifang blinked and suppressed her thoughts. She stopped and said in a small voice: Actually, I have already thought about all the thoughts about the follow-up.

She slowly told Beichuan Temple all her thoughts.

Sifang Kaguya's idea is very simple, but it is indeed a way to properly solve the current situation——

That is for her to pretend and replace another Shifang Kaguya.

I have been serving Yue Huijing since I was young, and the thoughts, conversations, and behaviors about the other Kaguya have been deeply ingrained in my bones, so strictly speaking, there is no problem for me to pretend to be her. Sifang Kaguya continued: As for the medicine of immortality...this matter can be explained by the ancient documents that you, Master Beichuan, found in Hui Shi Tang.

With these notes stamped with the family leader's seal as evidence, I can tell the family leader that the elixir of immortality is inherently defective... As long as you say this, the other party will have no choice but to give up no matter how unwilling you are.

She held up the round mirror on her chest with her hands, and there was a crystal light in her eyes: As an 'ancestral moon witch' who can use the moon mirror and moon telescope, he can only be polite to me. Treat each other.”

I have to say that the identity of another Kaguya is indeed easier to use than the identity of Kaguya. As long as the identity of the other Kaguya can be used skillfully, this whole matter can indeed be solved smoothly.

but--

What about your own identity?

Beichuan Temple's voice rang.

This made Kaguya Shifang, who was speaking enthusiastically, tremble, and his words were interrupted.

Yes, what should we do about her identity?

With another Kaguya's identity as a cover, her true identity naturally becomes a burden.

Kaguya Sifang was not in a hurry to answer this question. She held the round mirror on her chest and looked at the mirror with a halo of mist.

After about a minute of silence, Sifang Kaguya hung the round mirror back on her chest. Her voice was thin: I will tell the master about my body... I am already dead, so there will be no Any questions.”

This answer obviously did not satisfy Kitagawa Temple. He frowned and was about to speak but was interrupted by Kaguya Shifang's deep voice.

Please don't continue talking. Master Beichuan... don't continue talking...

She covered her face with her hands, her shoulders shaking.

Yes... don't talk any more... keep talking... the courage you finally mustered up will be dissipated.

The courage to return to that cold Sifang home and live a life alone that no one understands... If I hear Beichuanji speak again, I will definitely be completely washed away.

She will become dependent on the other person again.

It was only then that Sifang Kaguya discovered it.

In just a few days, her eyes have been chasing the figure of Beichuan Temple, especially when Beichuan Temple was willing to exchange the elixir of immortality for her safety——

Although Beichuan Temple also said later that it was a simple strategy, because he had long known that the elixir of immortality was flawed.

But even this made her originally miserable heart feel a little warmer.

For this glimmer of warmth...what does loneliness mean?

This is already the best solution.

She covered her face and burst into tears before she knew it.

Sifang Kaguya stammered: I know. In fact, I am a very weak person. I don't dare to resist even if I know that I am about to face my fate. I am a coward. I am just a floating mayfly. Can I The only person this mayfly landed on was you, Master Beichuan. I don’t want to cause you any more trouble.”

She could no longer suppress her emotions and squatted down, sobbing softly.

... Beichuan Temple.

He looked at Kaguya Sifang squatting on the ground and couldn't help but shake his head.

Tera-kun... Asamiya Yongse took the figure of this lonely girl into his eyes, and there was a hint of unbearability in his eyes: Although it may be a bit overwhelming, but...

Is this more than forcing others to do something difficult? It is simply impossible to do.

As Shifang Kaguya said, the method she provided was undoubtedly the smoothest solution to the entire incident.

If she pretends to be another Shigao Kaguya, she can easily get things over.

But in this way, she can only live as 'another Shigao Kaguya', and can't even show a trace of her own personality... So how lonely is it?

Asamiya Yongse felt unbearable just thinking about it.

But apart from this road, there is another way out...

Asamiya floated behind Beichuan Temple forever, sighing softly in his heart.

Disaster.

too difficult.

But even knowing that this is a very difficult road, Asamiya Yongse still wants to help Shifang Kaguya.

This is not because of willfulness or the Virgin, but because Shifang Kaguya did this mainly for Kitagawa Temple.

Makie, the god who was floating next to Asamiya Eise, also rarely put away her careless expression. She glanced at Kitagawaji's face hesitantly, and couldn't help but said something more: Otherwise... Kitagawa, you still have to say Think of a way?

As for the silent Nishikujo, his pitiful actions were even more extreme.

Her little puppet body climbed up to the top of Beichuan Temple's head, one round hand pulled his hair, and the other hand held a small hammer.

Seeing the expressions of these good spirits staring at him one by one, Kitagawaji flicked his fingers, and then expressionlessly took off the Nishikujo from his head.

He shook his head and replied in a calm voice: I didn't say I wouldn't help her, but this requires a process.

Kitagawaji walked to Shifang Kaguya and stretched out his hand to pull up Shifang Kaguya who was squatting on the ground.

Master Beichuan... Sifang Kaguya raised her pretty face.

Her face was full of tears, and she felt quite pitiful.

Kitagawa Temple stared at her face for a while, then turned his face sideways, with a bit of disgust in his tone: You were not cute in the first place, and you are even less cute in the future after crying. You should cry less in the future.

Cough cough cough!!! Asamiya Nagase and Kamizaki Maki coughed violently.

The poor Nishikujo puppet next to him had a dull face, and he didn’t even know when the small hammer in his hand slipped.

Master Beichuan! Sifang Kaguya was about to cry again.

Originally, she was still immersed in her own sad world, but when Beichuanji said this, she couldn't hold it back anymore.

Don't make such an expression. Kitagawaji couldn't help but shook his head again: I have a way to solve your problem, and you don't have to go to the trouble of pretending to be another Kaguya.

After hearing this, Kamizaki Maki blinked in surprise.

Does Beichuan Temple have a solution?

What else can be done in this situation?

As if he could read her thoughts, Beichuanji said calmly:

Only those with insufficient ability will only choose one. Those with sufficient ability will naturally want both.

Uh... Kamizaki Maki's mouth moved, and he couldn't hold back any words for a long time.

Kitagawaji didn't bother to care about Makie. He turned around and glanced at Kaguya Shifang. His voice didn't change much: Let me start by saying, I help you out of righteousness. Maybe there's a little something mixed in there. It’s a personal emotion, but it’s just a little bit of personal emotion.”

He stretched out his fingers, crossed his index finger and thumb, and made a 'little bit' gesture.

Shifang Kaguya looked at Beichuanji's gesture and hesitated for a while before asking:

But... what can we do? That's the entire Sifang family...

She didn't finish her sentence.

The Sifang family is very powerful, and Sifang Kaguya is very clear about this. It is basically impossible to muddle through, but even if you tell the truth, it will be difficult to get the forgiveness of the family leader——

Before she could continue to think about it, she heard Beichuan Temple ask in a steady tone: Why do we have to 'get forgiveness from the Sifang family' as the premise? Or...

Beichuan Temple has a ferocious sledgehammer in his hand.

He asked with extra seriousness: Is there anyone in Sifang's family who can beat me?

... Sifang Kaguya.

Yes, the status of a disadvantaged group for many years has shaped Kaguya Shifang's thoughts.

Why do you have to put yourself in a weak position? Isn't it true that Kitagawaji is stronger now?

As Kitagawaji said, the Shifang family has been in decline for a long time as a family that exorcises evil spirits, because the inheritance of Shifang Shrine has been cut off for too long. To say that there is someone in the family who can defeat Kitagawaji who can get rid of the evil spirits...?

This is impossible to find.

But...but...the Sifang family's financial resources...although not as good as those of the consortium, are still very... Sifang Kaguya muttered.

Beichuan Temple blinked: I know several heirs of the consortium.

Sifang Kaguya's face turned red:

But, but there are also people in the political circles who are members of the Sifang Family...

The Hayakawa family of Ibaraki Prefecture, the leader of the Tokyo political party... and an acquaintance from the police... they should all be able to help me.

... Sifang Kaguya.

She grew quiet.

What you are thinking about now should not be about how to sacrifice yourself, or how to think about me...

Kitagawa Temple pinched the center of his eyebrows, looking at the frightened expression on Kaguya Sifang's face, he still reached out and touched her little head.

He continued speaking softly: What you should be thinking about is... what should you do? What rights do you want? I can't make a choice for you, that's just your way of escaping. You have the ability, There is also an obligation to make your own choices, and you have a responsibility to take responsibility for the choices you make.”

You are just yourself, and you can only be yourself... You are not a mayfly. You now have the obligation and responsibility to make your own choices.

His voice was slow, but every word carried an indescribable weight.

Listening to what Kitagawaji said, Shifang Kaguya bit her lower lip tightly.

Then--

She nodded vigorously and wiped away her tears:

I know what to do.

Shifang Kaguya took a deep breath, then rushed forward and hugged Beichuanji without hesitation.

A soft whisper also sounded:

Thank you, Master Beichuan.

... Beichuan Temple.

Kitagawa Temple shook his head again, and then exhaled heavily:

Um.

Thanks to Yi WT, Shell House, Shuyou 2233, Bantian Qingzhou, I love Bu Shen, Rhyslipus, quit LOL from now on, and give me such a long name! Thank you so much!
