Chapter 362: Chapter 359: It’s a Couple Set, You Know
The conversation between the girl and her editor was on speakerphone, and Shirakawa Sawahei, listening closely beside them, learned that the magazine company encountered such an unlucky incident. He hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help glancing at the "Procrastination Master" title he had previously given to cute little Ise Yu...
Whoa... Is this thing really that powerful? The procrastinating girl only delayed a draft a little, and it actually affected the world line this much?
Or is it that this thing actually depends on the chosen person? A level 4 procrastination skill, the chosen one’s procrastination talent, combined with a procrastination title... this effect is practically world-changing...
With that in mind, Shirakawa Sawahei decided to remove the "Procrastination Master" title from cute little Ise Yu...
Just one delayed draft... such an impact, if it stayed on her, who knows, the world might end one day...
Sorry, Ise Yu, it’s my fault, I didn’t expect you to be my strongest study princess... and even a world-destroying battle princess...
The procrastinating girl keenly sensed the complexity in Shirakawa Sawahei’s gaze towards her, but at this moment, she couldn’t care less and quickly asked, "Does this mean... this issue of the manga magazine... will be postponed due to a force majeure?"
"That’s indeed the case... For the past two days, our magazine has been busy communicating with various teachers because of this... Teacher Hei Bai, I’m really sorry... I hope you won’t lose trust in our "Monthly Girls" because of this."
"No, no, of course not~" The procrastinating girl smiled widely and comforted, "Miss Morihara, don’t worry too much, I believe other teachers will also understand the difficulties of the magazine like I do..."
"That’s great... Teacher Hei Bai, you really are an extraordinary manga artist, it’s truly a pleasure to collaborate with you~"
"The pleasure is mine as well..."
After hanging up the phone, the procrastinating girl couldn’t contain her joy, leaping from her chair and embracing Shirakawa Sawahei.
"Shirakawa! There’s a delay! It’s postponed due to a force majeure! I can take my time with my draft... sob sob, this is so hard, as expected, I knew God would favor the children of the Pure Love Sect more..."
"This has nothing to do with the Pure Love Minotaur or whatever." Shirakawa Sawahei retorted with a cold face, "And... there are many ways to express excitement, why do you have to hang on me and not let go?"
"Ah, sorry, sorry..." cute little Ise Yu remembered Hinata Rion’s advice and quickly got off Shirakawa Sawahei, holding her small face with a shy expression...
"Aww... Shirakawa... sorry... I was just too happy..."
The first rule of the Minotaur Artist’s guide to flirting with men: Maintain a female’s shyness, making the other party realize you are a soft and cute girl, and irresistibly instinctual to protect you.
Although Ise Yu Yuzhijin didn’t quite understand this rule, given that Hinata Rion had a few more years of eating experience and watching love anime than her, she decided to believe in this childhood friend.
However... I still feel something isn’t right, why did Sister Yin say that in front of someone you like, you become clumsy, embarrassed, and blush at every turn... but I just feel like acting spoiled in front of Shirakawa?
Pretending to be innocent is so tiring...
Shirakawa Sawahei watched the suddenly blushing procrastinating girl and couldn’t help but slowly and skillfully type a question mark.
Brother, you’re acting strange.
In any case, whether it was because of a misunderstanding or the effect of the "Procrastination Master" title, Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s deadline somehow came to an end in a baffling way, and judging by her confident demeanor, she seemed to have a lot of confidence in her upcoming work.
When it comes to manga plots, Shirakawa Sawahei isn’t too interested in understanding more, after all, he isn’t a girl, how could he know what’s good or bad in girls’ manga—people differ constitutionally, especially female genre authors’ constitutions... Shirakawa Sawahei had once seen a female genre running-away-with-the-plot manga with ten babies born at once, even Nezha’s mother would call it professional.
Now that the manga assistant trial card ended prematurely, Shirakawa Sawahei was happy to see the procrastinating girl return to her initial role of handling household chores. However, for some reason, after these days, the procrastinating girl actually began to enjoy washing dishes and cooking and would often insistently join in helping Shirakawa Sawahei even when it wasn’t her turn, being exceedingly attentive.
In Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s words, this was called reciprocity; Shirakawa Sawahei helped her a lot, so she couldn’t just do nothing and insisted on helping him with something.
There was no way around it; since cute little Ise Yu came to offer herself, Demon King Shirakawa naturally had no intention of letting her leave so easily, calmly accepting this strange change.
After the submission day came a long-awaited rest day, and in two days, next week, the sports festival he and little Arrogant had long planned would commence. Shirakawa Sawahei spent a day following up on his progress and the basketball team’s training situation, and only after learning that everything was progressing well did he return home to enjoy his long-awaited break.
Especially during this break, the procrastinating girl was surprisingly obedient... though she seemed more clingy, that wasn’t a big deal, after all, she’s usually clingy...
However, what Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t expect was that this clingy procrastinating girl ultimately, on the first night of the holiday... enticed him to make a big mistake by accident...
Shirakawa Sawahei doesn’t remember the exact situation very well, only knowing that the night was very dark, and the procrastinating girl looked adorably pitiful... then he accidentally... just accidentally...
...played games with her all night...
Later, Shirakawa Sawahei thought about it quite sorrowfully, feeling that it might have been Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s talent that took effect, making him feel that occasionally playing games with her wasn’t a bad thing...
What a scary talent... Why doesn’t the talent I stole have any effect on her?
The holiday whipped by, and before he knew it, it was Monday. Shirakawa Sawahei, according to his daily routine, was about to finish washing up before going to wake up cute little Ise Yu but unexpectedly met her in the bathroom.
Of course, it wasn’t the kind of bathroom scene that many might imagine...
The procrastinating girl was wearing pajamas, with a single hair stuck up on her head, staring blankly at the sink as she brushed her teeth, seemingly not fully awake from her sleep state. Noticing Shirakawa Sawahei’s figure, her eyes seemed to light up as she reached out for toothpaste, beginning to squeeze some for Shirakawa Sawahei.
Shirakawa Sawahei looked at her in amazement—this goof being able to wake up so early was as much a life miracle as her being able to submit drafts on time...
To get the procrastinating girl to wake up early and get out of bed, was it an urgent need to pee or her dreams that made it possible?
He pondered it for a while, seemed to think it was pointless to ponder this problem, and decided not to dwell on it any longer. Instead, he squeezed in front of the sink with the girl, starting the routine of freshening up.
"I’ll go prepare breakfast first, you hurry up."
"Mm..."
The procrastinating girl hummed with the toothbrush in her mouth. As soon as Shirakawa Sawahei’s figure left the bathroom, she took her eyes off his back and turned to the toothbrush and cup he left there.
As she looked at them, a silly smile suddenly appeared on the girl’s cute face.
"Hehe... it’s a matching couple set..."
