CHAPTER 453: CHAPTER 446: YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOURSELF

"What familiar fragrance." Shirakawa Sawahei moved the Black Hearted Lolita’s little head aside and said guiltily, "Maybe you smelled it wrong..."

"It should be the scent from Tsukimi and Ise Yu." Shirakawa Sawahei tried to change the topic, "I just lay on both their laps for a bit."

"Stop lying! Their scents aren’t like that..." Black Hearted Lolita said suspiciously, "Could it be from the Black Hearted woman?"

"How is that possible! Would your sister even let me sleep?"

"That’s true..." Asano Nazuki nodded solemnly, "Could it be... you have other women, Little Bai?!"

"No!"

"Then what is it?"

Shirakawa Sawahei wiped away a drop of nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and mumbled, "Maybe it’s a mix of Tsukimi and Ise Yu’s fragrances..."

Black Hearted Lolita reluctantly accepted this explanation, raised her chin defiantly, and said, "Hmph, useless guy... You still haven’t told me why you were sleeping on their laps for no reason... and even had such strange conversations."

"..."

Alright, confirmed, there’s nothing wrong with this Black Hearted Lolita; the 99% progress rate is definitely fake!

Darn low-level system, backstabbing me again, making me worry for so long!

"About that..."

"Hmm?"

"It’s nothing, we were just warming up our friendship..." Shirakawa Sawahei suddenly remembered, to explain why cute little Ise Yu and Tsukimi sakurazawa gave him a lap pillow, he’d have to mention getting drunk...

And mentioning the drunken incident... would inevitably lead to discussing the lap pillow benefit from Miss Kashi...

Another world line where Asano Nazuki turns into Chaidou Hime, what a close call!

I don’t know if it’s usually the soft noise makers and lazy girls who are dishonest, or if Shirakawa Sawahei’s innocent heart had some effect, but Black Hearted Lolita nodded lightly and didn’t press further.

"Little Bai, aren’t you going to do something about them! Even if they’re good friends, you can’t just let them do whatever they want, right!"

"..."

What’s with this girlfriend-like tone!? So the 99% progress is still really risky, huh?!

"Later on... how will you explain what’s happening at the hot springs?"

"You better not say much later, leave everything to me to explain!"

"Oh..."

"And about your sister..."

"Leave that to me too, don’t you say a word!"

"I understand." Shirakawa Sawahei was quite satisfied with Black Hearted Lolita taking the initiative; if every girl in the world could explain everything after being kissed and hugged by him, how wonderful that would be...

Hmm? Did I just reveal some scummy thoughts?

"By the way, has the Black Hearted woman ever asked you about my return?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Of course not." Shirakawa Sawahei said seriously, "You’re right, but did you know? There are 47 million kangaroos in Australia, and at the same time, just in Neon, there are 80 million Minotaurs. If the Minotaurs decide to invade Australia, each kangaroo has to fight 1.7 Minotaurs. You don’t know, you don’t care, you only care about yourself."

Black Hearted Lolita: "???"

"Little Bai, did you not take your medicine! Why are you saying all these strange things! Hey! Don’t go! You haven’t answered my question yet... Where are you going now!"

"Back... Oh, by the way, did you see Tachibana when you came?"

"Tachibana Tomoku? Why are you looking for her... Hey! Little Bai! Don’t go!"

...

"So, Tachibana?" A certain Evil Little Arrogant was half-lying on the sofa, asking with a playful smile, "You joined the club back in the first year, right?"

"Ye, yes."

Though she didn’t understand why this legendary school beauty, Hayakawa Kashi, was asking such an odd question, the shy little one obediently sat down after delivering dinner.

"What about Shirakawa?" Miss Kashi asked nonchalantly, seeming to bring up familiar topics to ease the shy little one’s anxiety.

"He’s with the president and the others... cute little Ise Yu bumped into me and asked me to come over... Does Hayakawa think there’s a problem? Is something wrong with the food?"

"Not at all." Miss Kashi said softly, "Before, when I wanted to join the Calligraphy Club, Tachibana didn’t seem to have any opinion."

"Eh... Seems so..."

"Do you want me to join?" Evil Little Arrogant asked slowly.

The shy little one shook her head truthfully, "I don’t know..."

"Hmm?"

"For me, as long as Shirakawa... and the president are willing, it doesn’t matter to me who joins the club... The current club members have a good relationship with me. If Hayakawa wants to join, it seems nice— That’s what I thought at the time..."

"What if I don’t want to join you and create a harmonious club?" Miss Kashi’s smile faded a bit as she asked softly, "If I want to destroy that kind of relationship, would you hate me?"

Tachibana Tomoku thoughtfully considered it, then silently shook her head.

"Hayakawa wouldn’t do that."

"Do you think I’m incapable?"

"No." The shy little one replied earnestly, "Hayakawa is very capable."

"Oh? Do you know me well?"

"No." Tachibana Tomoku said quietly, keeping her head down.

It’s that I know Shirakawa well.

"You seem to think I’m a good person?" Evil Little Arrogant sighed, "Actually, I’m quite annoying, even my own sister finds me bothersome."

"Hayakawa is a good person."

"I’m not."

"You are a good person." The shy little one said with pure sincerity, her eyes shining like a newborn fawn’s innocence and beauty. Miss Kashi looked into her eyes for a moment before averting her gaze.

"No wonder he dotes on you so much."

"What?"

"Nothing." Little Arrogant pursed her lips, a dangerous glint in her eyes as she said softly, "If you had a chance to be the bad person, would you do the same to them?"

"Eh?"

Miss Kashi laughed and casually pulled the dinner plate over, "Let me give you a piece of advice: Don’t always try to be the good guy; in some things, someone always gets hurt."

"You know, ever since she was little, my sister liked to snatch things from me. Some of them she liked, but some she didn’t..."

"From young to old, she never beat me in snatching. This time will be no exception.

"If I don’t even plan to let my sister have her way, then don’t expect me to be a good person..."

"Hmm... maybe I should tell Tsukimi sakurazawa this too... but given how indecisive she is, it would probably have the same effect."

Tachibana Tomoku looked at Miss Kashi’s face in confusion, seemingly still digesting the information. Seeing this, Miss Kashi didn’t say any more and got up to show her out.

"Thanks for the food, by the way, I don’t like desserts... next time..."

"Oh, sorry, maybe there won’t be a next time after all, just forget it."

"Come on, Shirakawa should be almost at the door by now."
