“The apartment has two bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and basic renovations are done. You can move in with just your luggage. It faces south, with a large balcony for drying clothes.”
“The environment should be better than the place you rented before.”
Helping to carry the luggage, they arrived at a vacant room on the 14th floor. Bai Shi Chuan had rented out some of the apartments, mostly on the lower floors.
Higher floors have different views, so naturally, the price is different.
But
If the tenant was a beautiful girl, he wouldn't mind having her as a neighbor, so he briefly told them about the general environment and facilities of the rental.
Bai Shi Chuan looked at Yotsuya Miko again, smiling and saying, "What do you think?"
“It's only 80,000 yen per month, the utilities are calculated at market prices, and you don't need to pay a deposit.”
“...”
“Okay!”
Yotsuya Miko agreed without hesitation. The price was the same as her previous rental, but the environment was like heaven and earth.
The most important thing.
She hadn't found any ghosts in the area, which meant she could have a relatively peaceful high school life!
“I have no objections, I’ll listen to Miko, and I didn't expect to find a house with such good environment and facilities for the same rent.”
Yurikawa Hana's tone was quite excited.
She blinked her eyes, looking at Bai Shi Chuan and said, "Thank you very much, Bai Shi Chuan. Will you join us for lunch?”
“Maybe some other time. I live on the 15th floor, if you need anything, feel free to come up and find me.”
Izumi Mio had already bought the ingredients for today's meal.
There was no need to go out to eat with Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana separately. After all, they lived so close, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Bai Shi Chuan gently shook his head.
If he were to be truly interested, he would scrutinize Yurikawa Hana carefully. The dense resentment around her was visibly decreasing with each passing moment of interaction.
The remaining residue could be completely cleared with her powerful bodily energy, but Bai Shi Chuan was concerned about where exactly...
Where did she get this resentment?
He didn't ask directly. Even if he told Yurikawa Hana, it would be difficult to convince her. She didn't have spiritual vision.
Even if he brought a ghost in front of her, she wouldn't see it.
After much thought.
Bai Shi Chuan turned his attention to Yotsuya Miko. While she was packing her belongings, he sent a message through LINE: "I sense resentment on Yurikawa.”
“It’s not caused by you. Could you ask her where she’s been recently?”
“If you can find out, send me a message. Thank you.”
As her phone vibrated, Yotsuya Miko first looked at Bai Shi Chuan, a flicker of confusion in her eyes. But when she saw the contents of the message.
Her face, usually devoid of much expression, took on an unusual solemn look.
“Okay, thank you, Bai Shi Chuan.”

Leaving Yotsuya Miko's rented apartment, Bai Shi Chuan glanced at the time. He estimated that Izumi Mio should be finished buying groceries soon.
The lunch prepared by the beautiful young wife.
This was a specially prepared lunch, he couldn’t stand her up.
Back home.
“Hmm?”
Although no one came to greet him, the indoor slippers were already placed at the entrance, obviously prepared in advance for his return.
Is this the thoughtfulness of a young wife?
It even made Bai Shi Chuan feel better. He walked into the living room and glanced at the figure in the semi-open kitchen, busy with the meal. He greeted her with a smile.
“Auntie.”
“Bai Shi Chuan... you’re back?”
Izumi Mio, who was holding some prawns, ready to cook tempura for lunch, turned around in surprise, with a bright smile on her face.
Choosing the ingredients was indeed a bit difficult.
Mainly because she forgot to ask Bai Shi Chuan's preferences, and she also had to control the price a little. Izumi Mio didn’t want to take too much advantage.
She chose relatively affordable ingredients.
She wanted to use her culinary skills to make Bai Shi Chuan a delicious and hearty lunch!
While busy, Izumi Mio didn’t forget to explain, “I forgot to ask what Bai Shi Chuan likes to eat, so I prepared some relatively common dishes.”
“Grilled eel on rice, shrimp tempura, fried pork cutlet, and braised pork ribs with onion...”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
The gas stove was already at full blast, adding a touch of homey warmth to the house. Bai Shi Chuan nodded with a smile, approaching.
He wanted to see if there was anything he could help with.
But...
Izumi Mio, who handled everything in an orderly manner, didn’t give him the chance. Instead, she gently tilted her head, her bright smile still in place.
Her voice was gentle as she asked, “Is there anything you’d like to eat, Bai Shi Chuan?”
“If you don’t know, I can learn!”
“Hmm... let me think, actually I’m quite interested in Chinese cuisine. But I don’t know if it’s too much trouble for Izumi Auntie.”
Being able to order food was definitely the best.
Most Japanese dishes, for Bai Shi Chuan, were just to satisfy his basic needs. For real delicacies, he had to look to the rich variety of dishes from his previous life.
“Oh, so you like Chinese cuisine...”
Taking the last bit of tempura out of the oil, she placed it on a shiso leaf and put it on a plate. Izumi Mio clapped her hands, finally completing the task.
She firmly remembered Bai Shi Chuan's preference.
She added some salt to the braised pork ribs soup, checking for the right taste. Izumi Mio turned to the young man beside her and said, “I’ll go call S雾…”
“Bai Shi Chuan, you don’t have to wait for me, start eating!”
“There’s no way...”
Bai Shi Chuan shook his head with a smile, watching Izumi S雾, who hadn’t even taken off her apron, go downstairs to call S雾 up for dinner.
He was about to bring the dishes to the table.
His phone vibrated in his pocket, he took it out and opened it. It was a message from Yotsuya Miko on LINE.
“Bai Shi Chuan, I’ve already found out what happened!”
