Chapter 360: Chapter 357: Weird and Quirky, Cute and Lovely
Cute little Ise Yu felt her cheeks warming and an inexplicable anxiety rising in her heart, which made it even harder for her to sleep, especially since she was already a bit hyped up from staying up late writing.
Could this be... the so-called feeling of love?
This pounding heart, the urge to see him, to talk to him, to be together all the time—is this the feeling of love?
[Confession? Please, Jin, don’t do anything so foolish!] Hinata Rion exclaimed in shock: [Love is war, that’s a classic saying!]
[The one who confesses first, is the loser!]
The daydreaming girl paused, typing with a strange expression: [But... I’ve basically never won against Shirakawa in anything...]
[That makes it even more crucial not to confess first. Confessing is a declaration of victory, not the start of a charge! You need to understand this.]
[I see... As a single person, Sister Yin sure knows a lot about this...]
[...]
[Suddenly, I don’t want to help you anymore.]
[No! I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have said that!] The daydreaming girl quickly pleaded: [So how do I turn a confession into a victory declaration?]
[Heh heh~ well, you should know... right now, there’s basically no romantic atmosphere between you and Mr. Shirakawa...]
[Actually... maybe there’s a little bit!] Ise Yu Yuzhijin refused to give up struggling: [I’ve even fed Shirakawa before...]
[Hmm? Then tell me, between the two of you, did anyone blush?]
[...]
[No.]
The daydreaming girl recalled how Shirakawa Sawahei had casually entered her room, and how calm he was upon seeing her in sleepwear, causing her to wish she could punch her past self.
Why was I so casual in front of Shirakawa in the past? Totally had no girlish modesty!
[If you want to create a romantic atmosphere, you need to start by changing.] The theory master Hinata Rion lectured: [Firstly, make Mr. Shirakawa realize you’re of the opposite sex and not just a bug with two... assets.]
[That’s excessive! Really excessive, Sister Yin, what kind of metaphor is that!]
[Sorry, that was too harsh.] Hinata Rion quickly reflected: [A monkey might be a bit better.]
[???]
[In conclusion, right now in Mr. Shirakawa’s eyes, you’re someone who can’t get him excited. Like that blue-haired goddess type...]
[No way!] The daydreaming girl stamped her feet in anger: [Shirakawa definitely still has feelings for my body! I’ll prove it to you if you don’t believe me!]
[Oh? And how will you prove it? Just to be clear, physiology doesn’t count. If you’re going to bite...]
[Bite what???] Cute little Ise Yu said as she was about to fetch handcuffs.
[Nothing... In any case, you can’t touch Mr. Shirakawa, can you do that?]
Cute little Ise Yu looked at the sleeping Shirakawa Sawahei, hesitated for a moment...
[Another day then...]
[Tch, you can’t do it, Jin, you’re just evading.]
[I can do it!!!]
[But not now! Mr. Shirakawa is sleeping right next to me.]
Hinata Rion over there was silent for a while, then typed with some trepidation: [Good thing I have nothing to do with Mr. Shirakawa; otherwise, Jin, your last sentence could straight up be a quote from the Minotaur Sect...]
[Spending all day painting cows, almost got caught by one someday, what a close call... As long as I don’t fall in love, I won’t have a chance of being caught by a cow...]
[It’s the crucial period for my love life right now! Sister Yin, can you be serious? Stop obsessing over your b-Mintotaur already.]
[Alright, alright, it’s your crucial time, I won’t argue with you about that... where were we just now?]
[We were talking about how to change...]
[That’s right, regarding that, you need to pay attention to these points...]
...
When Shirakawa Sawahei woke up, the daydreaming girl was lying on the bed, defenselessly asleep, her phone having fallen onto her face, as if she had dozed off while playing on her phone. He took one look at the girl’s disheveled sleepwear, his face darkened, and he placed the blanket over to Ise Yu.
This girl, clearly not able to take care of herself, yet pretends to put a blanket over him... seriously...
He gently covered cute little Ise Yu with the blanket, removed the phone from her face, and the sleeping girl wore a delicate, sweet smile, as if she was having a beautiful dream. Her lively, energetic face was also tinged with a hint of sweetness.
"Shirakawa... mmm... no... don’t..."
"Really can’t win against you... just this once... haha..."
Just as he was about to leave, the daydreaming girl, still in her dream, mumbled something incoherent, causing Shirakawa Sawahei’s face to darken again, and he quickened his pace out of Ise Yu’s magical little abode.
What kind of dream is this idiot having about me... why do I feel a chill down my spine...
Outside the room, the morning light had already poured into the downstairs living room, with the hotel’s apartment having no worries about lighting issues; the first ray of morning light, and the last tinge of evening sunset, were all captured. Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at his phone’s time, realizing it was already 8 a.m., and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
What time did I go to sleep last night? Why don’t I remember anything?
Oh no, oh no, is this really the beginning of having a talent for daydreaming, starting to become like Ise Yu...

Shaking off those odd thoughts from his mind, Shirakawa Sawahei opened the fridge, took out ingredients, and started preparing his breakfast.
During the time the toast was cooking, Shirakawa Sawahei took the opportunity to solve his washing up, and by the time he returned to the kitchen, the toast was already done, all ready to accompany with fried eggs or spread with butter, paired with a glass of milk for a standard Western breakfast.
Honestly, eating these for breakfast for a long time always seems a bit monotonous, if only there could be a steaming bowl of tofu pudding at this moment...
Hmm, seems doable... just a bit troublesome...
Having acquired cute little Ise Yu’s cooking skills, Shirakawa Sawahei was no longer limited by obstacles in this area; now, he could level up his cooking skills anytime and strip away the daydreaming girl’s few existing values.
After some thought, Shirakawa Sawahei decided to give this rascal a chance... but before his fried egg was done, the daydreaming girl came downstairs, rubbing her eyes, wrapped in a small blanket.
"Shirakawa~ why did you get up so early?"
The reason was unclear whether it was because of waking up or if it was Shirakawa Sawahei’s illusion, but he always felt like the daydreaming girl’s voice seemed different, sweet and sticky like she was acting coy.
It sounded like the voice Tsukimi sometimes makes.
Busy handling the fried egg, he didn’t mind much, while cute little Ise Yu came down on her own, sitting at the table.
"Need help, Shirakawa?"
"No, you just sit there and don’t cause trouble."
"I won’t cause trouble, cooking is my specialty." The daydreaming girl said: "Shirakawa, you must have been very tired yesterday, why don’t you go back and rest for a bit?"
Shirakawa Sawahei: "?"
Oh boy... did someone possess the daydreaming girl... if it were her usual behavior, she would have thick-skinnedly sat at the table by now, urging Shirakawa Sawahei to hurry up... today she’s even offering to help?
Something strange...
There’s definitely something strange!
