CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 453: TSUKIMI’S INGENIOUS PLAN TO PACIFY THE WORLD

The arrival of Miss Kaori took Shirakawa Sawahei by surprise. Inside, the lights were off, so for quite a while, a few Calligraphy Club girls had been chatting with him in the dark. He was just about to get up when he felt the weight of a little girl pressing down on his left hand.

"Don’t go!" The girl glared at him, though in the pitch-black darkness, he couldn’t see her expression. Shirakawa Sawahei was a bit helpless and just as he wanted to have the girl get off his bed, she whispered in his ear: "Tachibana Tomoku!"

This was a reminder for him to treat her as gently as he would Tachibana Tomoku tonight, and to listen to her. Out of options, Shirakawa Sawahei resigned himself to pretending to sleep, thinking he could explain to the Little Arrogant the next day that he was already asleep.

"I heard you’re short a bed here, so I came to bring one."

Shirakawa Sawahei: "!"

"Not sleeping, Hayakawa, you’re here just in time."

Black Hearted Lolita: ???

Idle Girl: ???

Whimpering Monster: ???

Why did you get up just after mentioning beds? So were you sleepwalking all this time when you weren’t talking!

Ignoring the resentful looks from the few Calligraphy Club girls, Shirakawa Sawahei reminded them and then turned on the light, walking to the door and opening it.

There was no heating outside, and the warmth of spring emanated from the door. The Little Arrogant stood cutely in front, holding a quilt, raising an eyebrow, "I thought you’d take longer to open the door."

In fact, Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t want to complicate matters further while the Black Hearted Lolita was angry... If she saw him being so friendly with Hayakawa Kashi, and in her rage decided to do something notorious in front of the Calligraphy Club girls, wouldn’t that be explosive?

Fast forward to getting married on the spot? I’m not ready yet! I can’t even handle Asano Fūsei, that middle-aged Long Aotian, let alone mother-in-law Hayakawa Sawaba!

He just wanted an extra quilt so that Whimpering Monster and Idle Girl wouldn’t stir up too much trouble tonight. However, upon opening the door and seeing Miss Kaori, Shirakawa Sawahei suddenly felt his previous caution was indeed weak.

Nightwear limited edition·Hayakawa Kashi. Just for this outfit, it was worth the risk of agitating the Black Hearted Lolita to open the door for the Little Arrogant.

The temperature inside and outside the room was evidently not the same. Shirakawa Sawahei was briefly stunned, then immediately pulled the Little Arrogant in from the outside, closing the door behind her.

"Hayakawa, even though you’re holding a quilt, the temperature outside is enough to freeze you... Why didn’t you dress properly before coming over?"

"I was too lazy to change, I thought Shirakawa would open the door quickly."

"..."

"I just... ahem..."

Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t continue explaining, after all, everyone who knows, knows, and the Little Arrogant isn’t a naive princess type. Saying anything too explicit would only insult her intelligence...

"Why did you suddenly decide to bring a quilt?"

"Nazuki is back, as her sister I should check if she has a place to sleep, shouldn’t I?"

"Are you sure that’s the reason?"

"Oh, there’s more."

"What?"

"Father asked me to keep an eye on you, to make sure you stay away from Nazuki."

"..."

"Nazuki and I are just friends." Shirakawa Sawahei’s confidence was visibly lacking.

"Do you think he’ll believe you?"

"Shirakawa? Hayakawa? What are you two whispering about at the door?" The Black Hearted Lolita gritted her teeth, "Why not come in to talk?"

"I see."

Miss Kaori nodded and replied, "Then I’ll intrude."

"???"

Hayakawa Kashi, with a calm face, handed the quilt to Shirakawa Sawahei, then stepped inside and looked around. She cast a glance at the makeshift bedding arrangement and lightly exclaimed, "Are you all preparing to sleep?"

"I see, no wonder Shirakawa went out of his way to borrow a quilt from me."

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

Good grief, the Little Arrogant is using me as a shield against Tsukimi and the others! Is she retaliating for me taking a few seconds longer to open the door?

Heh, woman, thy name is Pettiness.

"Oh my, didn’t Shirakawa say he came back midway? So you two have been in contact on Line?"

Asano Nazuki, without changing her expression, pinched Shirakawa Sawahei’s waist slightly and smiled, "Since the quilt is delivered, shouldn’t Hayakawa head back?"

"No rush." Miss Kaori also smiled, "Because in my room I’m all alone, and I’m quite scared of ghosts and such things, I don’t dare to sleep alone."

"So I’ve specially asked Shirakawa if I could come and squeeze in."

"Is that alright, Shirakawa?"

Black Hearted Lolita: ?

What nonsense about you being scared of ghosts! You were always the one scaring me with ghost stories as a child, stop pretending!

The situation changed in an instant, seemingly returning to the time when Hayakawa Kashi planned to invade the Calligraphy Club, except this time, the Black Hearted Lolita had clearly lost her ace against him.

"Since... since it’s because she’s scared of being alone... then there’s no choice." Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at a few Calligraphy Club girls and, not daring to meet the Little Lolita’s eyes, said bravely, "If it’s just squeezing in... it should be okay."

"Tsukimi... what do you think?"

"Ah...? This... well yes, that’s what it seems... Koorikin? What do you think?"

"Eh?? I guess... I guess it’s fine... Tachibana?"

"Sure."

And with that, the game of passing the buck ended. Miss Kaori seemed satisfied, looked at the silent one, and chuckled lightly, "Then I’ll intrude."

Seeing the tide turn, the Black Hearted Lolita could only secretly vent her frustration on Shirakawa Sawahei by punching him.

Damn handsome face, who told you to open the door! I had a hunch that the Black Hearted Woman had no good intentions coming here!

Look at that! She even wore pajamas! Was she really here to deliver a quilt? Hayakawa Kashi! I’m too embarrassed to call you out!

Shirakawa Sawahei had no particular thoughts on this, the Black Hearted Lolita’s punches didn’t hurt, so two punches were just two punches. Anyway, this was everyone’s opinion, not just his load, you can’t blame him alone.

"Um... Hayakawa?"

"What?"

"Is this your first time participating in our Calligraphy Club’s training camp?" Tsukimi sakurazawa blinked and kindly said, "Actually, we weren’t sleeping just now, we were getting ready to play a game, although we usually stay within bounds, newcomers might feel it’s too much to handle... If you don’t like it, you can step back a bit?"

"What game?"

"Strip poker... or we can play Mahjong~"

Shirakawa Sawahei: ?

Black Hearted Lolita: !

Tsukimi sakurazawa, I’ve misjudged you! So it turns out you’re my long-lost sister! Using this move to push back the Black Hearted Woman! I’ll call you Shokatsu Tsukimi, it’s not too much at all!

Surprisingly, the Evil Little Arrogant just stayed silent for a while, then lightly nodded and said.

"Sounds interesting, count me in."
