CHAPTER 393: CHAPTER 390: SHIRAKAWA SAWAHEI, YOU HAVE NO HEART!

"Do you want to replace your sister?"

Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at the Little Lolita’s underdeveloped figure with a peculiar expression, shook his head, and said earnestly, "You can’t do it."

The Little Lolita bit her silver teeth, her eyes fixed on a certain part of Shirakawa Sawahei, and started to grind her teeth slowly and vigorously.

"What did you say???"

"You and Kashi have different kinds of charm." Shirakawa Sawahei felt a chill and slightly changed his tune, "Both of you have irreplaceable qualities."

The Black Hearted Lolita snorted and withdrew her gaze.

"Hmph... At least you know your place... Pretty boy, are you hiding something from me?"

Shirakawa Sawahei thought for a moment, then answered honestly, "Yes. But I won’t say."

"???

"Pretty boy! Don’t run! How can you talk like that? Are you intentionally trying to annoy me?"

"Yes." Shirakawa Sawahei replied calmly, "You bit my lip last time, I haven’t settled that yet. Now you’re daring to stir up trouble, it seems like you’ve grown quite bold."

"I..."

The Black Hearted Lolita was momentarily at a loss, murmuring, "Back then... It was a benefit for you!"

"What kind of benefit makes you bleed?"

"The best benefits make you bleed!"

"..."

Shirakawa Sawahei was silent for a while, then said, "Let’s not get hung up on the bleeding part..."

"Hmph~ Pretty boy, you’re so annoying. First you find excuses to talk to me, then you find excuses not to talk. Do you like me and are just trying to find topics?"

"..."

"If you really liked me, it’s not like you can’t say it... But remember to let me know in advance when you confess, so I can record a video..." Asano Nazuki said with a blush, "Even though you’re quite hateful, if you can like me, it means you’re not beyond saving..."

"No, no way. If I liked you, wouldn’t that be truly beyond saving?"

A strange ailment curable only by a handgun?? How could I become like that!

Shirakawa Sawahei, not wanting to deal with this little girl, turned and started to leave. But the Black Hearted Lolita clung to his arm, not letting him escape.

"Don’t go! Pretty boy! You haven’t answered me yet! I’ve kissed and touched you, even slept in your arms! Are you really such a player?"

Shirakawa Sawahei’s face darkened, immediately clearing his name, "You can’t accuse me, was that really kissing and touching?"

"You kissed, right!"

"..."

"You held me, right! We slept in the same bed, right! You saw me in pajamas in the morning, didn’t you!"

"..."

Though what this girl said was true, Shirakawa Sawahei felt a bit wronged...

So unjust... I want to hit this girl to vent my frustration...

"So who knows if you touched while I was sleeping..."

"Is there even anything to touch???"

The Black Hearted Lolita’s eyes instantly became hollow and dark, "Pretty boy... Have you ever experienced social death?"

"Sorry, my bad."

The secret of a seasoned player is adaptability in every sense, which Shirakawa Sawahei understood all too well. Naturally, he wouldn’t risk life and death with a little girl in public.

"I’ve seen lots of people in pajamas upon waking up, yours was nothing special."

Trying to brush things off with a player-like statement, Shirakawa Sawahei faced another fierce attack from the Little Lolita, who coldly laughed and said, "What about when you slapped my butt?"

Shirakawa Sawahei fell completely silent.

"What’s wrong with hanging out with me! At least I care more about you than that Black Hearted Woman~" Asano Nazuki exclaimed happily, seeing the old player Shirakawa Sawahei temporarily subdued. "Now can you tell me what you were doing with that Black Hearted Woman?"

"Going to watch a movie with her." Shirakawa Sawahei’s level 4 acting skills kicked in, imbuing his face with a standard look of resigned submission, thoroughly satisfying the Little Lolita’s need for conquest.

"What movie!"

The Little Lolita looked pleased and overjoyed, her face lit up with a smile, seemingly forgetting about Shirakawa Sawahei’s secret cinema date with Hayakawa Kashi.

"I got tickets to the premiere. She used to learn piano with me, so I thought I’d let her see the score I composed for the film."

"Let me see!"

Shirakawa Sawahei pulled out two movie tickets, and before he could react, the Black Hearted Lolita snatched them swiftly.

"Hmph... This is the gig Mr. Slatter introduced to you?" The Little Lolita pouted, "I learn piano too. Going with you would be the same..."

"But... those are Kashi’s..." Shirakawa Sawahei looked unwilling, about to speak.

"I’m grabbing hers on purpose!" Asano Nazuki proclaimed boldly, "At worst, I’ll just pay for them..."

Playing you and paying for it is no free ride, right?

"Hmph hmph~ I’m taking these two tickets. Remember to find me when it’s time for the movie~"

The Little Girl triumphantly walked off with the two newly acquired premiere tickets, having effortlessly swiped something from Hayakawa Kashi. Just this little act made her grin widely... Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t imagine her reaction if he really said he liked her—would she wag her little tail up to the sky?

No wonder it’s level 4 acting skills, engaging in a duel with this dramatic little girl on stage...

So, even if not for others’ sake, for the sake of stopping the Little Lolita from swelling up with pride, I can’t confess to her!

Shirakawa Sawahei silently affirmed this mantra, then proceeded with his steps towards the Little Arrogant.

...

Feeling smug after leaving Shirakawa Sawahei, the Little Lolita got even more delighted as she dwelled on it, marking it worthy of celebration. She picked up her phone and sent two messages to her contact dubbed Black Hearted Woman on LINE.

『Going to see a movie~』

『Oh my~ It’s a premiere ticket... Shirakawa really wants to watch a movie with me, huh?』

『Sister, what do you think I should wear?』

It was rare for the Black Hearted Little Girl to call Hayakawa Kashi "sister," but in this mocking moment, it was a worthy investment.

Imagining the expression on the Black Hearted Woman’s face at this moment surely made her blood pressure spike!

Feels great... Pretty boy did something human for once... This public display felt fantastic... Might poke him again next time.

Without a ’read’ on the other side from Hayakawa Kashi, the Little Lolita patiently awaited her response—for her, a ’read’ would suffice!

With a read, it would mean I’ve succeeded!

After a while, Asano Nazuki eagerly noted movement in the LINE chat.

『Is this the movie you’re talking about?』

『Image』

『Image』

The Black Hearted Lolita immediately replied, 『??? You too secretly bought premiere tickets!』

Miss Kashi slowly replied, 『No, I didn’t have a chance to buy them yet.』

『It was your thoughtful classmate Shirakawa who gave them to me.』

『Oh no, more accurately, not quite gave.』

『In exchange, I bought him a drink.』

『???』

Holding the two purchased movie tickets in her hand, the Black Hearted Lolita suddenly felt a loss of interest.

Shirakawa Sawahei! You heartless person!

A seasoned player remarks: I said it! Over my dead body, I would jump off the teaching building before giving old capitalist Hayakawa Kashi movie tickets!

Unless she bought me a drink.
