Chapter 479: Chapter 471: How Could I Fall for a Guy Like This?
"Shirakawa, you’re back."
"Welcome home."
Two young girls flanked him, one supporting him, the other taking his bag, behaving exceptionally attentive. Shirakawa Sawahei was somewhat bewildered by their behavior and hesitated, "Did you guys set the house on fire?"
"No way! Shirakawa, your attitude is really awful!"
"Shirakawa, what’s with your attitude! We’re just treating you as usual, alright."
"Oh..."
Shirakawa Sawahei, full of doubt, scanned the entrance but found no suspicious evidence, so he had to endure and asked, "You guys..."
Tsukimi Sakurazawa blinked: "Tutoring, Shirakawa, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
"Which Chapter should we review today? Shirakawa?"
"..."
As they say, there’s always something strange when things are unusual. Shirakawa Sawahei initially thought these two were going to betray him or were planning to. Unfortunately, even until the tutoring ended and he personally sent one of them onto the train, there was no sign of betrayal. They even waved goodbye to him sweetly and cutely.
There’s something up with them!
After reaching this conclusion, Shirakawa Sawahei decisively chose to interrogate his adorable roommate, cute little Ise Yu. As for why he chose her, the reason was simple.
As a roommate, he could easily spot her loopholes!
Ahem... with Ise Yu, since she’s really into the second dimension, casually offering her a collectible figure or something would decisively make her sell out her accomplices cleanly.
What? One isn’t enough? Then add a signed edition of a voice actor BD. Anyway, he now knew directors at Furuta Kei’s level, so borrowing some clout to get a signature was easy.
However, to his surprise, tonight the cute little Ise Yu seemed particularly firm.
"Shirakawa! I’ve told you! I wasn’t acting just now! All my sweetness was genuine from the bottom of my heart!"
"No! I really haven’t caused you any trouble! Ahhh... I wasn’t planning to betray you, is it wrong for me to want to be obedient once in a while?"
"Yes, I know, in the past when I was proactively attentive I might have had some requests, but wasn’t that before? People change!"
"From now on, I want to become the ideal type of sweet and sensible girl! Shirakawa, shouldn’t you be happy for me?"
"..."
The cute little Ise Yu said angrily: "Shirakawa, in the end, you just don’t believe me, right? Then tell me, what would it take for you to believe I’ve turned over a new leaf!"
Shirakawa Sawahei thought for a moment and asked, "There has to be a reason, right?"
"No reason... well, if I have to say, it’s because I think you’re too gentle with obedient girls, and too harsh with me."
"You previously wanted to sketch my pants down."
The absentminded girl stiffened but continued angrily: "Don’t change the subject, that has nothing to do with now..."
"You previously wanted to sketch my pants down," Shirakawa Sawahei quietly repeated.
"???
"Shirakawa, you’ve got nothing else to say besides that, right!" The cute little Ise Yu lunged at him in anger, "I’m done pretending, I’ll lay it out plainly, since you won’t treat me kindly... you just remember what I wanted to do with your pants..."
"How can I face people like this! Waaah..."
Shirakawa Sawahei pinned her to the sofa, showing a look of sudden realization: "I knew it... why did you suddenly decide to change your image."
"Isn’t it because Sakurazawa said, if you’re sweet and obedient, Shirakawa would also be gentle... she demonstrated before... during a phone call..."
"In the afternoon?"
The absentminded girl reluctantly nodded.
Shirakawa Sawahei was left speechless upon hearing this, thinking to himself, wasn’t I always nice to you? Do you know Black Hearted Lolita really envied you and Tsukimi before? Because you two could repeatedly dance on the edge of death, and as long as you didn’t go too far, I couldn’t bear to make a move... But she doesn’t have that privilege, always getting spanked impulsively...
"So Tsukimi was showing you how to activate the sweet mode??"
The absentminded girl puffed up her cheeks and didn’t reply, and seeing this, Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t help but smile and gently patted her head: "Why change, haven’t you always been great?"
Cute little Ise Yu raised her small face, her eyes still somewhat resentful, "Shirakawa, do you secretly regret living with me?"
"If it was Sakurazawa, she would definitely take better care of you, right... I can tell... Sakurazawa is really skilled at house chores... while I can’t even clean or organize properly..."
"If it were Tachibana living with you, she wouldn’t upset you, or make you worry..."
"That’s true."
"???"
The cute little Ise Yu, whose resentment had slightly dissipated from the head pat, suddenly flared up: "Shirakawa! Haven’t I told you? You can’t agree when a girl is reflecting or admitting her shortcomings!"
"Fine, I get it, you’ve long been fed up with me... annoyed that I’m less obedient than Tachibana, not as cute as Kaori, nor as smart as Hayakawa... Anyway, I’m just a troublesome person that nobody cares about! Isn’t that right!"
Shirakawa Sawahei helplessly continued patting her head, patiently saying: "Maybe you’re not as obedient as Tachibana, not as considerate as Tsukimi, or as smart as Hayakawa, but even so, it’s you who’s sharing this place with me, right."
The absentminded girl stayed silent for a while, then poked Shirakawa Sawahei’s cheek out of frustration: "Is this comforting or subtly insulting me."
"Do you really think any girl would be happy hearing your words just now."
"That’s the best comforting words I could think of."
The cute little Ise Yu sighed in a wistful way, glanced at him, hesitating to speak further.
Why did I fall for someone like this, anyway?
But...
"Though other girls might not be pleased, since it’s me, such an understanding nice girl, I’ll reluctantly indulge Shirakawa." She laughed, rubbing against his palm’s warmth, "Besides, what Shirakawa just said, can be interpreted another way."
"What way?"
The absentminded girl counted on her fingers, "Not as obedient and well-behaved as Tachibana, not as considerate as Sakurazawa, not as smart as Hayakawa... thinking from another perspective, that’s praising me for being livelier than Tachibana, more clever than Sakurazawa, and more obedient than Hayakawa~"
"Being in first place is hard, so being second isn’t bad~ Shirakawa, don’t you agree."
The girl in front of him maintained an ever-lively, adorable smile, her laughter sweet and pleasant. Observing the scene, Shirakawa Sawahei suddenly felt that his choice back then was not a mistake.
