Chapter 323: Chapter 321: The Legendary Boyfriend Persona
Little Arrogant was silent for a moment before replying: [Is there a problem?]
[Anyway, try asking your sister when you get a chance. They’re planning to target me, but honestly, I’m not that important. The most important thing is to make sure Hayakawa doesn’t get implicated because of me.]
[So touching, is Shirakawa trying to flirt with me?] Evil Little Arrogant sent a silent sarcasm: [To use such a dignified excuse to make me your tool, probably only Shirakawa could do that.]
[Oh, no. To use me as a tool, probably only Shirakawa could do that.]
[That’s not true. I actually do care about Hayakawa.]
[How much do you care?]
[Caring enough to ask if you’ve had dinner yet.]
[Hmm, I have.] Little Arrogant on the other side of the screen smiled gently, replying unhurriedly: [Should I properly thank Shirakawa?]
[You’re welcome, it’s what a friend should do.]
[Since that’s the case, as a friend Shirakawa cares about... I’ll help you gather some intel on the sports festival.]
[Hayakawa.]
[?]
[You can be quite understanding sometimes.]
Shirakawa Sawahei replied, satisfied.
[Well~ the most important thing for a tool is to be handy... as a tool beside Shirakawa, I’m also quite afraid of being abandoned one day...]
[So I guess I’d better do more while I’m still useful.]
[...]
As expected of you, Hayakawa Kashi the Onmyoji... you are the best at secretly dissing me in class! If it were Asano Nazuki, my fist... oh no, my rolling pin would probably be itching to try.
He put away his phone and began to focus on the dish in front of him—today, Ise Yu Orikin had made twice-cooked pork. Her culinary skills had finally reached lv3, making her somewhat useful. At least she could make the dishes Shirakawa Sawahei requested.
After being full and satisfied, Shirakawa Sawahei nodded at Ise Yu Orikin, motioning for her to come collect the payment, while he took out his phone to send her a cos photo of the Black Hearted Little Girl, but to his surprise, the lazy girl was smiling as she scrolled through her phone and waved her hand.
"Shirakawa! This meal is on me today! No need to pay with Kaori’s photo..."
"What’s the situation?"
"Well... it’s because my strawberry mark incident has been basically resolved~ Such a happy event deserves a meal to celebrate!"
"How did it get resolved?" Shirakawa Sawahei asked in confusion, "You said it was a mosquito bite?"
"Not at all! Where is such an annoying mosquito that only bites the neck! Such a lame lie won’t fool anyone. Whoever hears it just gives a knowing smile, they won’t believe it at all!"
"Then you..."
"Of course, I used Kaori’s method..."
"Pretend to have a boyfriend?"
"Yes!"
The lazy girl said excitedly, "Turns out if you set up the boyfriend’s personality, hobbies, and appearance details in advance like creating a manga character, you can actually fool them! I thought I would get caught..."
"I even thought up several character profiles, but ended up not using any..."
"They believed it in a second?"
"Yes, and they even gave a meaningful smile..."
Shirakawa Sawahei’s heart sank, feeling something was off...
"The boyfriend in your setup... what’s he like..."
"Tall and a bit aloof, short hair... good physique... features sharp like sculpted with a chisel, often showing a wicked smile..."
What a sculpted face and wicked smile, really like an overbearing CEO...
Shirakawa Sawahei felt powerless to complain about the lazy girl’s setup, she continued counting on her fingers: "Excellent grades, often wins scholarships... can play the piano... a popular figure in school, beloved by teachers..."
???
"Wait a minute..."
"What’s the matter?"
"Apart from the sculpted features and wicked smile... are the rest of your settings not based on me?"
"How could it be..." The lazy girl chided, "I clearly based it on my manga character~"
"..."
"..."
"Oh my gosh... my manga male lead is based on you, Shirakawa!!!"
Ise Yu Orikin covered her face in despair, horrified: "Shirakawa, did they mistake the boyfriend I mentioned as you?"
Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
That deceitful Black Hearted Lolita, I knew her words couldn’t be trusted! And now she stirred things up by teaching someone randomly!
Don’t think everyone is as good at acting as you are! Everyone’s aptitude is different!
"Don’t panic yet..." Shirakawa Sawahei calmed down a bit and asked, "How many people did you tell? It’s still possible to change your story..."
"The Li..."
"The what?"
"All the members of the Light Music Club..." the lazy girl mumbled softly.
"And a few friends from other classes... not too many people..."
"Probably around a dozen..."
Shirakawa Sawahei took a sharp breath.
No hope, just wait for doom.
He turned to leave, but the lazy girl immediately hugged Shirakawa Sawahei’s leg and cried out, "Shirakawa, you can’t just give up on me like this... I miscalculated this time... please tell me how to fool people into thinking I’m dating someone a lot like you..."
"Let go, there’s nothing I can do."
"You can... Shirakawa, you’re the best..."
Here we go again, this familiar aura of the goddess of water...
"Maybe just keep pinching strawberries then."
"Isn’t there a less painful way..."
"Then just peacefully wait for your doom." Shirakawa Sawahei patted the innocent heads of the cute little Ise Yus and said gently, "Welcome to join the love triangle rumors involving Hayakawa and me..."
"No, I don’t want to be hunted by the Kaori Guard Team... they won’t send paparazzi to chase me, right... Oh no... Our cohabitation will be exposed too..."
"Don’t panic, we’re just sharing rent, not cohabitating!"
"But they won’t believe it! Shirakawa! You don’t want them to know we’re cohabitating either!"
"I said it’s sharing rent!"
"Alright, alright, cohabitating then..." cute little Ise Yu continued to panic, "What should I do... if it’s discovered, my pure image as a high school girl will be ruined..."
"..."
Is she deliberately using the word ’cohabitating’ to provoke me into helping her solve this crisis?
...
In the dim little room, the light faintly brightened, a girl sat at a table and said in a deep voice, "Comrades, at this critical moment of organizational crisis, I hope everyone will unite and strive for the great cause of the organization..."
"Captain... why do you always act so serious, we’re having an online meeting now... the cool effect is less than one-tenth of what it used to be..."
A girl on the screen couldn’t resist commenting, and the others chimed in. The short-haired team captain, Chihara Aie, sighed lightly and regretfully turned up the lamp’s brightness.
"Since that’s the case... let’s start this emergency online meeting of the Kaori Guard Team."
"Yes!"
The many elites of the Kaori Guard Team on the group video call screen nodded and opened their notebooks, ready to take serious notes.
"Everyone, please look at my screen."
