Chapter 373: Chapter 370: Let Go of That Pretty Boy Little Bai!
What the hell... where’s my knife?
Shirakawa Sawahei was perplexed. He thought having two idiots backstab him was enough, but little did he expect that the real backstab master was the director behind the Kiss Camera!
No... no, it doesn’t seem right. Such a terrible blunder... is not something a normal person could accomplish...
He gasped, recalling a certain low-level system that hadn’t shown up in a while...
That’s right... this feeling... it must be it!
He looked at the screen once more. On it, Little Arrogant, Little Transparent, Black Hearted Lolita, Fish Slack Off Girl, all four studying girls appeared in the frame without fail, and the most noticeable boy among them was Shirakawa Sawahei...
Goodness... is he supposed to kiss all four?
If one of these people starts whining, Shirakawa Sawahei wouldn’t suspect the system... After all, among these girls, only Tsukimi Sakurazawa isn’t a studying girl!
The audience fell into silence...
The four studying girls fell into silence...
Shirakawa Sawahei also fell into silence...
A quiet atmosphere enveloped the entire basketball court...
"Is this the second camera blunder? Why would it show the four girls next to Shirakawa? Is it forcing him to make a choice, or take them all?"
"I don’t know... It’s been like this for a while, maybe it’s a special Easter egg... After all, Shirakawa and Hayakawa are said to be the masterminds behind this new sports festival. Could the big surprise be the announcement of their relationship?"
"No way, right? Didn’t the rumors say Shirakawa and Asano were involved?"
"That’s just a rumor! There’s nothing between Shirakawa and Asano!"
"But if they are going to announce a relationship, what’s with the other three girls? Are they rumored ex-girlfriends?"
"Ah~ no way, let me see... that’s Asano... that’s Ise Yu... hmm? Who’s that girl sitting next to Shirakawa? Do we have such a cute character in our school?"
"As the main organizer, Shirakawa and Hayakawa must know about this! So, I suspect! This is Hayakawa forcing his hand! Forcing Shirakawa to choose between his past and present relationships!" a student confidently stated.
"Is Senior Hayakawa that proactive? That’s quite surprising."
"This decisive nature does seem like Hayakawa..."
"Wait, why do you all think it’s Hayakawa pushing him? Couldn’t it be Shirakawa pushing Hayakawa to accept other potential lovers?"
The students below were eagerly discussing the sensational scene in front of them. Shirakawa Sawahei and Hayakawa Kashi exchanged glances after a moment of silence.
"It wasn’t me." said Shirakawa Sawahei, whose guilty conscience led him to shirk the responsibility first.
"I didn’t arrange this either."
Miss Kaori spoke with a rare hint of annoyance, casting a quick glance at the little Lolita, suspecting that she might be behind this embarrassment.
After all, giving her a moment of public embarrassment would definitely bring delight to the little Lolita.
This time, Black Hearted Lolita seemed to have unwittingly taken the blame again. However, this time, she was bearing the blame of the low-level system.
In his heart, Shirakawa Sawahei observed a moment of silence for the little Lolita, then started considering how to handle this awkward scene...
Just leave immediately? It’s the first basketball game; if they want to continue with a lighthearted atmosphere in the future, leaving right away would definitely be the worst option!
Miss Kaori also quickly grasped the current situation, looking back at Shirakawa Sawahei with a scrutinizing gaze, as if asking how he planned to deal with it.
Shirakawa Sawahei hesitated for a moment... after eliminating the option of running away, it seemed the only choice left was to kiss one...
But... who to kiss?

In truth, if it came to actually kissing, there were many ways to avoid directly showing it to the camera — movies and dramas often use camera angles to avoid awkward kissing scenes for actors. If any of the studying girls were willing to cooperate, Shirakawa Sawahei wouldn’t mind using his level 4 acting skills to demonstrate what a flawless misleading kiss looked like.
However... the key question was who would cooperate?
Fish Slack Off Girl? She suspected him from the start of having ulterior motives towards her... if he chose her, even if he didn’t manage to kiss her, she’d definitely hold it against him for a while... so pass.
As for Black Hearted Lolita... hmm... on an ordinary day, it might have been fine, but right now Hayakawa Kashi is present. There’s a chance she might pretend it’s real to spite her, using the opportunity to prove herself as the world’s greatest actress in front of everyone...
Pass, no need to think further!
That leaves Little Arrogant and Little Transparent as suitable candidates... but with Little Transparent, her personality is too shy... even if it were just a mock kiss, she’d probably be so bashful that she’d turn weak and lean against Shirakawa Sawahei...
If not for her personality, Little Transparent would be the first choice — easy to console afterward, never sulky, unlike Fish Slack Off Girl and Black Hearted Lolita, who’d make a fuss nonstop...
Hmm? Something’s off, if I could choose, Tsukimi would actually be the best choice, right? She wouldn’t shy away from the collaboration and would be easy to smooth things over afterward... But unfortunately... she isn’t a studying girl...
Well... since I’ve chosen the best option by elimination... Hayakawa, I’m left with no choice?
Shirakawa Sawahei gave Little Arrogant a helpless look, then gently prepared to stand and stage a misleading kiss with Little Arrogant. He believed with their tacit understanding, Evil Little Arrogant would quickly grasp his intent and cooperate with him in this little play...
What to do after the kiss? Afterward, he planned to avoid Little Arrogant for a few days, ideally letting her take out her anger on the little Lolita, so she wouldn’t focus on settling scores with him...
And so, on the big screen, Shirakawa Sawahei gently moved.
The camera, previously encompassing the four female leads, gradually shifted its focus to Hayakawa Kashi with Shirakawa Sawahei’s movement. In the eyes of the spectators, everything unfolded in slow motion, naturally and gracefully, before their eyes...
Female lead Hayakawa Kashi also moved gently.
As the camera pulled in closer, focusing on their facial expressions, aside from the members of the Kaori Guard Team who looked utterly despaired, the other spectators either wore a face of envy or were thrilled by their favorite couple, paying attention to this moment worthy of historical record in the Kiss Camera footage.
And this brings up the question... Who’s the biggest winner when the top two students finally get together?
Third in the class, Asano Nazuki: "???"
You black-hearted woman! Let go of that pretty boy!
