Chapter 375: Chapter 372: Triggering Physical Constitution by Risky Task
The girl’s gentle and beautiful smile made Shirakawa Sawahei a bit dazed, and he subconsciously began to hesitate, unsure whether he should continue asking.
Miss Tachibana Tomoku... seemed like she was about to say something just now, but in the end, she couldn’t say it...
Was she really nervous from being watched by so many people, and that’s why she grabbed the corner of my shirt?
So... should I let this matter pass or disregard the girl’s wishes to avoid causing greater confusion in the future, and choose to pursue the question?
This question had no one to answer, and no way to be answered. Shirakawa Sawahei considered himself a person of reason over emotion, but in front of this fawn-like girl, he couldn’t bring himself to treat her harshly.
Some things, if not asked at the time, may never have the right mood or time to clarify later...
He sighed silently in his heart. He didn’t know if he was sighing for Xiao Mo or for himself.
The three girls nearby were originally chatting about Hayakawa Kashi just kissing the little lolita, and after a while, they finally noticed the strange atmosphere between Shirakawa Sawahei and Xiao Mo, thanks to the sharp-yet-daydreaming girl in love.
The sensitive girl first poked Ise Yu softly and said, "Hey, hey... Koorikin... don’t you think Shirakawa’s expression is a bit serious now..."
"More than that... even Tachibana isn’t speaking... Sakurazawa, do you think something happened between Shirakawa and Tachibana?"
The Black Hearted Lolita listened to their conversation, secretly glanced over, and found that Little Bai’s expression was indeed a bit strange...
Tachibana Tomoku? Is she the one who made Little Bai like this?
"Well... should we ask Shirakawa what’s going on?"
"Shirakawa definitely won’t say anything. If anyone will talk, it’s more reliable to ask Xiao Mo..."
"Eh? Will Tachibana say anything?"
"The chances are much higher than that of Shirakawa, the old scumbag!"
The girls whispered among themselves for a while, seemingly planning to find an excuse to switch places with Tachibana Tomoku, but Shirakawa Sawahei suddenly stood up, said something to Xiao Mo, and then left his seat.
"What? Shirakawa actually left!"
"He just spoke to Tachibana, quickly, ask Tachibana where he’s going!"
Faced with her friends’ questions, Miss Tachibana just replied innocently.
"I don’t know..."
"Shirakawa just said he’d be out for a while and would come back soon..."
"Anything else? There wasn’t anything else..."
...
Shirakawa Sawahei walked out of the stadium and immediately saw Hayakawa Kashi leaning against the wall as if waiting for someone. Miss Kaori straightened up and said softly, "Shirakawa, you came out later than I expected."
"I couldn’t exactly chase after you as soon as you left the front foot, could I?"
"Hmm, Shirakawa’s vigilance is quite high. Maybe in the future, you’ll be able to have several girlfriends at once."
"I don’t see that as a compliment." Shirakawa Sawahei walked to the side of the Little Arrogant and suddenly laughed, "Using your own sister as a tool to solve an impending deadlock, that really seems like something Hayakawa would do."
"I just went along with it." Little Arrogant said lightly, "But what about Shirakawa? What were you planning to do back then?"
Shirakawa Sawahei shrugged, "Honestly, I was planning to put on an act with you."
"And then? Halfway through, I, the female lead, was suddenly replaced by the real female lead?" Hayakawa Kashi looked at him with a half-smiling expression and said slowly, "If I hadn’t reacted so quickly, I might have ended up being the self-deluding woman again."
Shirakawa Sawahei was a bit helpless, knowing that Miss Kaori’s keen observation had noticed Xiao Mo’s action of pulling on his shirt, but he couldn’t explain much, nor could he apologize.
"Let’s just say the coordination this time wasn’t great..."
"Are you saying that my actions were too slow, giving the real female lead a chance to steal the show?" Hayakawa Kashi nodded thoughtfully, "It seems~ just relying on popularity isn’t enough to secure the female lead position, I have to work hard myself."
"..."
"Though on the surface what I’m saying is similar to what you said... but you’re reading too much into it, don’t you think?"
"Well, if the female lead’s position is so easily taken away, if I don’t learn to understand Shirakawa’s words, I might find my role coming to an end soon."
"It won’t end so easily. In fact, Hayakawa, you’re one of the most stable performers here for me."
"How stable?"
"Stable enough to never exit the stage?"
"..."
The Evil Little Arrogant turned her head away and didn’t look at him. After a while, she slowly turned back.
"The sports festival... has come to a perfect end."
"Yeah, it’s over."
Listening to the waves of laughter from the stadium, Shirakawa Sawahei seemed to sigh with emotion, "If nothing unexpected happens, this basketball game format will be passed down and might become a cultural symbol exclusive to Akihisa High School."
"Basketball, as a sport, might attract some attention. The best result would be to drive surrounding high schools to form a high-school alliance, making this sport popular among students in this area."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Yes, it was quite exhausting."
"Shirakawa really doesn’t know what humility and gentleness mean, does he?" Even though she said such blunt words, the Little Arrogant still wore a faint smile on her face, showing no sign of disappointment.
"Aren’t you the same?" Shirakawa Sawahei turned to look at her, just in time to meet the Little Arrogant’s stunning face, and chuckled, "Hayakawa, don’t you also have no idea what gentleness is?"
"I’m much better than you. At least I know that when Shirakawa is being held back by other girls and is awkwardly lost in thought, I should proactively find an excuse to leave."
"..."
"Hayakawa, I just thought you were a little cute a moment ago, can’t we not talk about what happened earlier?"
"No way." The Little Arrogant raised an eyebrow, "Who told you to almost embarrass me?"
"The Kiss Caream part wasn’t my idea."
"But you were part of the execution team."
"That director wasn’t chosen by me."
"But you approved of my vision."
"Of course, I trust your vision." Shirakawa Sawahei gave the Little Arrogant a strange look, "If I don’t trust your vision, who else’s can I trust?"
The Little Arrogant was stunned for a moment, then shifted her gaze again, looking elsewhere...
"Just this kind of flattery is far from enough, Shirakawa."
Shirakawa Sawahei honestly waved his hand, "I don’t think Hayakawa is a girl who can be coaxed with a few compliments."
"Then what kind of girl do you think I am?"
"..."
Damn it? Why do I constantly trigger Little Arrogant’s death questions? Is there something wrong with my constitution, or Little Arrogant’s?
