"Are we already in Ibaraki Prefecture? That's quite a coincidence. Actually, the person I wanted to discuss something with is also at my house. If Beichuan Master plans to come over, we can host him here," said Hirakawa Ichiro in a somewhat surprised tone.
"It would be impolite to refuse."
Beichuan Si hung up the phone and casually lifted Nishijou Kurenai who had sneaked out of a travel shoulder bag.
"Let's go, Kelian."
"..." said Nishijou Kurenai.
She pointed at the television on one side, then at herself, and made a bicep flexing gesture to indicate that her desired fitness program was about to start and suggested Beichuan Si go alone.
After some thought, Beichuan Si didn't force Nishijou Kurenai to do something she didn't want to do. He set her down, "Alright, watch over our things while I'm gone. Just try not to make too much noise."
Nishijou Kurenai stood on the ground, nodded, and waved her round arms at him, signaling him to be cautious.
"I will."
