Chapter 386: Chapter 383: I Work So Hard, All for This Family
Damn, why ask me when I’ll confess to Hayakawa Kashi...
Shirakawa Sawahei really wanted to vent loudly, having barely escaped the system’s pursuit, he didn’t expect to be questioned by Little Arrogant’s mom now... Could it be that Little Arrogant’s mom and the system are working together?
Escaping the tiger’s jaw only to enter the wolf’s den?
Hearing Hayakawa Sawaba’s straightforward question, Tsukimi Yamadori sneered coldly, "Since when does a daughter of the Hayakawa family need her mother’s help in a love affair?"
"This doesn’t seem to be related to Mrs. Tsukimi, does it?"
"Of course not, I was just asking."
"That’s good." Hayakawa Sawaba nodded lightly, "I was worried Mrs. Tsukimi might feel uncomfortable."
Tsukimi Yamadori gave Hayakawa Sawaba a cold glance, knowing that by their etiquette, it wouldn’t be possible to ask Shirakawa Sawahei directly if he liked her daughter—that would be too rude, and the future heir of the Tsukimi Family can never be treated like that.
A family like the Hayakawa family, doing as they please and not playing by the rules, is really rare in the circle. However, Tsukimi Yamadori wasn’t surprised by Hayakawa Sawaba’s behavior; if she truly followed the rules, she wouldn’t have stirred such a huge reaction in the circle back then.
"So, Mr. Shirakawa? Your answer?"
Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
At this moment, he suddenly regretted why he didn’t inherit Little Transparent’s ostrich skills. Any answer to this question would have unpredictable consequences. If he pretended to be dead and cute to get by, he might save his little life.
Hmm? Wait a minute... Cute to get by?
It seems I still have Black Hearted Lolita’s talent: Cuteness is Justice!
Wow, almost forgot one of the few good talents of the Black Hearted Lolita! Although it’s embarrassing for a grown man to use cuteness to get by, as long as the talent gets triggered, it’s okay to be embarrassed.
After all, no one will know he escaped a deadly question by being cute!
But...speaking of which...how does the Little Lolita usually act cute to get by?
Shirakawa Sawahei carefully recalled and realized that since the Black Hearted Lolita revealed her true nature in front of him, she practically hadn’t acted cute... Of course, she might have acted cute, but Shirakawa Sawahei completely didn’t notice.
Black Hearted Lolita: ?
As a Five-Good Youth who doesn’t have to worry about the FBI breaking in while sleeping at night, Shirakawa Sawahei feels his values deserve a thumbs up.
Who said everyone in Neon is a lolicon, I am the only light in the night!
Failing to use cuteness to get by, Shirakawa Sawahei’s thoughts spun furiously. Though Hayakawa Sawaba didn’t press him verbally, her undeniable gaze constantly exerted pressure, making him unable to escape.
"Anyway, not now."
"Then when?"
"Sorry, wasn’t it two questions?"
"Trying to avoid this with such slippery tactics? Mr. Shirakawa, this could affect your future, you know."
Hayakawa Sawaba said slowly, and before she could continue the previous sentence, Little Arrogant’s familiar cold voice came from the door.
"Who said it has an impact?"
"Doesn’t it?" Hayakawa Sawaba looked towards Little Arrogant at the door with a half-smile.
"Whether it has an impact is up to me. Isn’t that right? Also, Mother dear, the three-party talk seems to be over, don’t disturb others, okay?"
Miss Kaori stepped in one step at a time, like a Heavenly God descended, directly saving the somewhat speechless Shirakawa Sawahei.
No wonder you’re my most reliable study partner! You always come through at critical moments!
Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t help but give Little Arrogant a hundred and eighty thumbs up in his heart, while instinctively making way for her to come to his side.
"Couldn’t have said it better."
Hayakawa Sawaba glanced at Shirakawa Sawahei, nodded lightly, and picked up her bag,
"In that case, I won’t disturb you, you two teachers, continue."
"By the way, Mr. Shirakawa." Hayakawa Sawaba suddenly turned around, eyes filled with praise, "Actually, I’m quite satisfied with your answer."
"Someone else is too."
Little Arrogant stared at her mom expressionlessly.
"Why are you looking at me? I meant Aunt Tsukimi."
Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
As Hayakawa Sawaba slowly left the office, Hayakawa Kashi also pulled Shirakawa Sawahei out. The pressure in the room finally returned to normal, and poor Uehara Shigeo slowly let out a breath, grateful he survived.
Fighting among gods, as long as you can stay hidden, it’s possible to survive!
"What was she saying just now?"
Little Arrogant and Shirakawa Sawahei exchanged a glance for a while before she asked first, and Shirakawa Sawahei suddenly found it amusing, couldn’t help but probe, "When did you stand outside?"
"I think it was me who asked the question first, right?"
"No law says the one who asks first gets their answer first."
Miss Kaori pouted a bit, showing some slight annoyance. She rarely displayed such a demeanor, even though she’d known Shirakawa Sawahei for so long, he’d seldom seen her lose control.
It’s like, the usually calm and composed Evil Little Arrogant suddenly displaying some ordinary human emotions one day.
"Your mom didn’t say anything, only asked two questions." Shirakawa Sawahei chuckled, "As for which two... I think Hayakawa should’ve heard, right?"
"No." Miss Kaori turned her head to deny.
"I just came in and only heard the latter one."
"Didn’t hear the first?"
"No."
"Really didn’t?"
"Shirakawa." Miss Kaori said expressionlessly, "I should’ve told you before that sometimes you’re really annoying?"
"You did."
"Oh, then I’ll say it again."
"Well, then I’ll listen again."
Seeing that Evil Little Arrogant was already on the verge of going crazy, Shirakawa Sawahei decided it was best to retreat when ahead, not provoking her further, and instead asked, "Isn’t Saori here?"
"She went to tour the campus with my father, said to experience the learning environment of his daughter."
"Such a ridiculous reason, yet Saori agreed."
"Why not?" Miss Kaori countered, "You can earn pocket money as a guide."
"I see."
Shirakawa Sawahei nodded, indicating he understood the reason behind Black Hearted Lolita’s hard work.
Their family’s pocket money is different from ordinary people’s concepts of pocket money. Normally, Little Lolita should have enough pocket money, but to reach the standard of keeping Shirakawa Sawahei, she recently started saving intentionally.
Even if she can’t necessarily compete with Black Hearted Women, at least don’t let Ise Yu Yuzhijin and Tsukimi Sakurazawa, those salted fish, catch up!
Black Hearted Lolita: I’m working so hard, isn’t it all for our family!?
