Chapter 378: Chapter 375: The Little Vampire’s First Embrace
As for why it might be the last time...
Well, that’s because it’s almost time for the arts and sciences stream selection. After the upcoming three-way meeting, Shirakawa Sawahei will face his last class division in his high school career.
At Akihisa High School, the separation into arts and sciences is somewhat different from typical schools. Some schools choose to conduct the three-way meeting in the last semester of the first year, and then start the art and science division in the second year. This approach is neither good nor bad; after all, it’s a private school, and as long as the graduation rate is high, it doesn’t matter how they stir things up.
For Shirakawa Sawahei’s three-way meeting, he doesn’t plan to have Higashino Rin specially come over—anyway, Uehara Shigeo knows his situation and there’s no way he’d bother him over such a small issue. At most, just telling him is enough to solve the parent issue for the meeting.
In terms of the sciences vs. humanities selection, Shirakawa Sawahei has chosen science. As for humanities, being a lawyer is quite lucrative, and the Little Arrogant’s gift of a photographic memory is a godsend for studying humanities. But compared to these, he still prefers subjects with logic.
Hayakawa Kashi has already confirmed she’ll study sciences, and it’s no surprise that the Black Hearted Lolita will likely study sciences too... As for Tsukimi Sakurazawa... although I took a look at her scores while tutoring her, it seems there isn’t much difference between her arts and science scores, so Shirakawa Sawahei also doesn’t know what she’ll choose.
The same goes for the Little Transparent, one of his study buddies. Her scores are quite balanced, with no significant bias.
The slacker girl... well, this one will definitely choose humanities to slack off! Nothing can stop her laziness, not even Jesus, said Jesus.
In that case... this time’s class division... there’s a high chance I’ll be in the same class as Tsukimi and Little Transparent... If so, future communications for the Calligraphy Club will undoubtedly become much easier.
Hmm, Tsukimi will have many more chances to bother me... I somehow feel like this turn of events is much like the wish she accidentally made when she was in her first year...
As it turned out, Shirakawa Sawahei’s guess was right. Just a few days after the sports festival ended, Uehara Shigeo began to announce the news about the three-way meetings, urging everyone to ask their parents to free up some time to come to school for this major decision in their child’s life.
The Black Hearted Lolita was quick to secretly find Shirakawa Sawahei and demand to know what subject he was choosing.
Shirakawa Sawahei thought there was nothing to hide, so he straightforwardly told the little lolita that he was choosing science. To his surprise, after hearing this, she thoughtfully nodded...
"So, you’re saying the black-hearted woman will also choose science, right..."
"Then... pretty boy! You choose humanities with me! Let’s both ditch that black-hearted woman!"
Shirakawa Sawahei: "?"
He moved the little lolita’s hand away from his head, ending her kabedon move, and said grumpily, "Why would I go through all that trouble just to prank your sister with you?"
"Hmph! Let’s not beat around the bush, pretty boy, what do you want?"
"I want to study science."
"???"
"You’re not allowed to want that! Pick something else!" the Black Hearted Lolita said, exasperated. "I don’t agree... Don’t you have any other outrageous demands?"
"Like what?"
"Like... asking me to... do something for you or something..."
"What can you do?"
Shirakawa Sawahei’s skeptical look greatly offended Asano Nazuki’s pride. She angrily tugged on Shirakawa Sawahei’s clothes and gritted her teeth, "Am I really that worthless in your eyes?"
"Can’t you... can’t you just have some strange thoughts about me like a normal boy would?"
"Sorry, I think having strange thoughts about you no longer counts as a normal boy."
"???"
"Pretty boy! Don’t go! If you secretly switch to humanities with me, I’ll... I’ll let you kiss me again..."
"..."
With exasperation, Shirakawa Sawahei turned his head and smacked the wall behind the Black Hearted Lolita, forming a kabedon stance.
"You kissed me secretly last time, and I haven’t even confronted you about it."
"Confront me?? Please! I kissed you! You should be grinning in your dreams, and yet you want to confront me? Are you out of your mind!"
"Dream grinning? I’m lucky I didn’t have nightmares; that’s a testament to my good mental health, okay?" Shirakawa Sawahei shot her a dangerously sharp look, threatening, "Don’t you dare tell anyone about this! Or else don’t blame me for being ruthless."
"Dare you threaten me!" the Black Hearted Lolita burst out, "Pretty boy, don’t regret this!"
"I never regret anything I do, usually..."
Before Shirakawa Sawahei could finish his threatening words, the little lolita’s soft lips were on his, a mere dragonfly glance, and withdrew, glaring disdainfully at him afterward.
"Usually? What about usually?"
The girl’s cheeks were rosy, yet her eyes still fuming with anger, their faces so close due to the kabedon, Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t even have time to react to the little lolita’s sneak attack.
Am I... taken advantage of by the Black Hearted Lolita again?
Shirakawa Sawahei wiped his cheek, expressionless, "Usually, I only make others regret."
"Hmph, anyone can talk tough, I... Hey? Pretty boy! Where are you carrying me! To the rooftop? What are you going to do!! I forbid you!"
Asano Nazuki unleashed a storm of little pink fists on Shirakawa Sawahei’s back, finally making him set her down.
"Know your wrongs or not."
"I know..."
"Louder, you want to admit your wrongs with such a small voice?"
"I know my wrongs..."
"Hmm?"
The Black Hearted Lolita took a deep breath and, taking advantage of Shirakawa Sawahei pretending not to hear, wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down.
Next, the little lolita bit Shirakawa Sawahei’s lips hard.
Shirakawa Sawahei: "???"
After the quick strike, the Black Hearted Lolita turned and ran like an assassin, leaving Shirakawa Sawahei standing in place holding his lips in confusion, too stunned to chase down the perpetrator...
It wasn’t on the cheek... This time... the little lolita really kissed my lips... Although it ended in a bite, it was indeed a genuine kiss...
My first kiss... My real first kiss, gone just like that?
Calming down, Shirakawa Sawahei thought it through and felt something was off...
If the little lolita kissed like that... can that even be called a first kiss? More like a vampire’s first embrace, I think she’s trying to bite me, but because she was in a rush, she didn’t achieve her goal...
Now look, my lips are so red from the bite, what if someone sees it?
Maybe... I’ll just say I got burned eating oden?
