CHAPTER 418: CHAPTER 413: THE INVISIBLE NIGHT RAID PLAN

Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t look into Little Invisible’s eyes, clearing his throat to deny, "I didn’t."

Black Hearted Lolita: Staring... (Death stare)

Little Bai, what are you saying! You can have them! The price is just being caught by me right then and there and hauled off to court...

"Still denying! Shirakawa, are you looking down on me and Koorikin by not going to the bathroom downstairs!"

"Eh? Why did you drag me into this, Shirakawa always went upstairs when staying with me..."

"See!" Shirakawa Sawahei immediately started to counterattack, "I really didn’t, you’re wrongly accusing me."

"Hmph~ Shirakawa’s being a little tsundere again... Hi hi~ Now behave~"

"..."

Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t be bothered to argue with her further, heading upstairs without turning back, ignoring whatever Tsukimi and Ise Yu might be plotting behind his back, and going on to take a shower.

If the weather were colder, the Shirakawa family’s bathtub would be put to good use. It’s a pity the timing wasn’t right; Little Invisible and Little Lolita didn’t want to loiter in the bath, and naturally, Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t be like the male protagonists in anime, fretting over sharing bath water with beautiful girls.

Of course, Little Lolita, with no chest or butt, wasn’t something to get excited about, but as for Tachibana... anyone who understands would know.

After a bit of fuss, Shirakawa Sawahei walked out of the bathroom drying his hair, and the girls downstairs were in their pajamas playing around on the sofa, with a mini pillow fight in progress. Though Black Hearted Lolita initially wanted to maintain her weak and pitiful lolita persona, it seemed she couldn’t help herself, with her gleeful yet mischievous smile.

Really looks like they’re truly having fun. Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at the giggling girls below and couldn’t help but lean on the railing on the second floor, quietly observing this amusing scene.

Miss Tachibana Tomoku, was as usual, not too far off at the periphery, a sweet smile on her lips as she watched everything unfold, occasionally picking up fallen pillows to join in... no need to mention Tsukimi and Ise Yu, the main forces of the pillow fight, the two most rowdy out of the four girls.

Asano Nazuki, hmm...

Indeed, when Little Lolita isn’t annoying, she’s actually quite cute, with some angles even resembling Little Arrogant... No wonder this girl always says I lack taste and fail to appreciate. It seems now there’s some truth in her saying.

Tsundere and prejudice. Little Lolita took the tsundere while Shirakawa Sawahei had prejudice at first. Their relationship has always been quirky; sometimes close, yet Asano Nazuki occasionally seems to have a grudge against him, while being not close... Black Hearted Lolita’s free gifts were the most frequent and outrageous...

Surely, in the end, the first person to climb onto my bed wouldn’t also be Asano Nazuki, right?

Out of nowhere, Shirakawa Sawahei’s head popped out this thought, almost making him drop the towel he was holding.

FBI warning... FBI warning... I haven’t fallen that far yet...

Shirakawa Sawahei quickly chanted in his heart a few times, "I’m not a loli-con, I’m not a loli-con," then reopened his eyes to find the girls downstairs all looking straight at him.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Shirakawa, shouldn’t we be asking you that... you’re standing there with a towel, looking all troubled and conflicted... what are you even troubled about?"

"..."

Am I troubled about being a loli-con? That’s definitely not something he’d say out loud, for Black Hearted Lolita would pretend to denounce him as pathetic, while secretly delights gloating.

"I’m legally a loli. Little Bai likes loli. Hence, that means Little Bai likes me. A reasonable deduction, isn’t it! Promising!"

For your words, a bit of time not playing the older sister role can be managed, Little Bai Shirakawa?

"I’m debating what time to get you all to bed," Shirakawa Sawahei grumpily changed the subject, "Look at the time, go to bed earlier."

"Eek, but tomorrow’s still the weekend, isn’t it..."

"Even during weekends, consider the rest of your neighbors above and below."

Black Hearted Lolita coldly sneered, dismissively, prior deliberately buying the apartments above and below Shirakawa’s to backstab him, meaning no matter the ruckus now, they wouldn’t receive noise complaints from neighbors.

As long as there’s no early morning partying, everything’s fine~

"Alright, alright, since I always listen to Shirakawa... let’s just sleep early today then..."

"So early? The night has just begun~" The slack-off girl hugged a bag of chips, looking dumbfounded: "I was still planning to play some games with Sakurazawa-chan."

"Play in the morning! If you’re too willful, Shirakawa will get mad~"

Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at the whimpering Tsukimi, "Go on, why behaving so suddenly?"

"How mean! I’m always so good anyways..." Tsukimi Sakurazawa grumbled in anger, then immediately with a cheerful smile said, "Tomorrow I want Shirakawa to make breakfast~"

"That’s it?"

"Of course, my demands are always low~"

"Alright, I agree. Go to bed quickly." Shirakawa Sawahei nodded, starting to usher them away to clear out the sofa for sleeping.

"Goodnight~ Shirakawa."

"Goodnight~ Sakurazawa-chan."

"Mhm~ Goodnight~"

"Goodnight~ everyone~"

Everyone bid each other goodnight, then returned to their rooms. Shirakawa Sawahei quickly tidied up the pillows and sofa the girls had messed up and then flicked the light switch.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows allowed soft moonlight to stream in, Shirakawa Sawahei intentionally drew open the curtains to let the tranquil moonlight enter the space without hindrance. In the dim view, you could see a few lights still on in the distance, likely some late-night working office slave burning the midnight oil.

At 1 AM in Neon, clearly many people were still awake.

Shirakawa Sawahei closed his eyes and wandered in thought for a moment, the drowsiness gradually taking over, the faint ticking of the clock in the living room serving as a lullaby. In a moment of distraction, he felt himself about to drift off to sleep.

The door lock clicked, breaking the serene night. A shadow tiptoed the door open, peeked out, then also tiptoed downstairs to Shirakawa Sawahei’s sofa.

"Shirakawa, are you asleep?"

A voice, almost a whisper called out, awakening Shirakawa Sawahei from the footstep sounds, he couldn’t help feeling a little speechless, but fortunately, the voice’s owner didn’t intend to wake him, it was just for confirmation. The surroundings fell silent again, followed by a slight rustle of fabric.

Shirakawa Sawahei: "?"

Just thinking if Little Lolita was going to freebie climb up, and suddenly now this sound... moreover, the one who spoke just now, was clearly Little Invisible.

This girl... what’s she doing?

The confusion lasted only a few breaths, as Shirakawa Sawahei felt a gentle pressure over his body, peeking through he saw a cute Little Invisible Study Girl holding her breath, cautiously covering him with a thin blanket...
