Chapter 501: Chapter 493: Who Could Be More Miserable Than Me?
Little Arrogant coldly laughed as she looked at the inexplicably confident Shirakawa Sawahei, a murderous look on her small face as she turned and left. Shirakawa Sawahei followed her all the way, waving at the rearview mirror only after he watched her get into the car.
The car quickly started and disappeared in no time. Shirakawa Sawahei stood there for a while, rubbing the palm that had just been twisted by Hayakawa Kashi, his previously confident expression now somewhat helpless with a wry smile.
To be a scoundrel really isn’t something just anyone can do... Asano Fūsei said before that he was really upset at first, now it looks like he wasn’t exaggerating...
Wanting everyone, is it hard?
No doubt, it’s extremely difficult. Not only would Little Arrogant, the first to find out, not agree, but the other girls probably wouldn’t accept it immediately either. In modern society, it seems somewhat like a fool’s dream, but with the pioneer of a middle-aged Long Aotian like Asano Fūsei, Shirakawa Sawahei feels it’s not entirely impossible.
This first step, which is also the most important step, is to choose Little Arrogant as the beginning of the bet. Undoubtedly, it’s a risky move by Shirakawa Sawahei. He and Hayakawa Kashi have similar personalities, and they share many values and preferences. Confessing to her first, whether from a strategic or logical standpoint, has profound significance.
Ultimately, it’s necessary to first use this confession strategy to steady Little Arrogant, who’s at cleaver level 4... Shirakawa Sawahei, having interacted with these girls for so long, naturally understands them very well. The first step to starting a harem is not to deceive your wings.
Master of time management? Juggling heads while stabilizing the scene? Come on, who is Little Arrogant? The Hayakawa family’s heiress. Trying to operate on multiple threads behind her back, she’d just come back and throw dirt on your grave... Also, with Tsukimi Sakurazawa, although her family isn’t as well-informed as Little Arrogant’s, considering its size and business, it’s practically impossible to completely hide things from her.
Although Tsukimi’s nature doesn’t lend itself to slaying scoundrels, given Little Arrogant’s temperament, it’s entirely impossible to hide such actions from her and walk away unscathed.
The Black Hearted Lolita and cute little Ise Yu are silly and easily placated... Hmm... As for the little invisible one...
Even without considering family background, these girls are all intelligent, perceptive girls who’ve been together every day and would definitely catch on. So to avoid this situation, after much thought, Shirakawa Sawahei decided to be a bit more honest, confess to Kashi first, and then talk about his plan that sounds absolutely ridiculous.
As long as he doesn’t deceive Miss Kashi and keeps everything within her control, Shirakawa Sawahei figures the cleaver won’t come down on him. Little Arrogant’s final reaction also confirmed Shirakawa Sawahei’s presumption—she has already regarded Shirakawa Sawahei’s dream as a doomed bet.
Since the bet is destined to lose, why bother to pay attention to such things?
When Miss Kashi is defeated, will she take in the heartbroken scoundrel? Nobody knows, but judging from her attitude, she’s indifferent to his attempts, willing to let him win as a loss.
Both of them are so confident, so calm. However, it’s obvious that Shirakawa Sawahei stands to lose more. The pretty heiress girlfriend he just confessed to has turned her back on him, and the girlfriends he’s preparing to deal with next are likely to follow suit... Who could be more miserable than him?
I am so miserable...
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the Christmas tree decorations in the distance were now draped in a layer of silver that, combined with the light from the decorations, looked beautiful. Shirakawa Sawahei glances in the direction Hayakawa Kashi left, clenched his fist once more.
He won’t lose.
After all, I am the Child of the Plane. Shirakawa Sawahei murmured to himself, as if cheering himself up or speaking to someone else.
...
"Jin~ Look quickly~ It’s a white Christmas... The snow is really heavy... Hey, let’s draw a book on the window~ A pure love theme~"
Cute little Ise Yu lay on the table silently, humming feebly. The snacks piled up in front and a big strawberry cake had only been nibbled at. Seeing this, Hinata Rion wondered, "Didn’t you hear what I said about drawing pure love?"
"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking... You, a Minotaur Artist, being forced to draw pure love with me, isn’t this a kind of Minotaur?"
"Nice, Good Job!" Hinata Rion said gleefully, "You still have the energy to argue with me about this, it seems like you haven’t been hurt that deeply, Jin~"
"You still say!" the beta girl said aggrievedly, "You said to go out for a bit to unwind... Instead, I ended up even more annoyed..."
"True... Let me jot it down and make a note... Going out for cake doesn’t help relieve pressure if you’re rejected from a confession..."
"Who said I was rejected!" the beta girl furiously said, "Shirakawa has just not replied to me yet... maybe..."
"Alright, alright... I was just making notes... I just ordered takeout, a steaming hot pizza, perfect for a heartbroken girl like you."
"I told you I’m not heartbroken... I’ll take a third of the pizza..."
"Speaking of which, we met a friend of yours... the one who came with you to the cafe before... oh~ what a great figure, I’m a bit envious even as an adult..."
The beta girl scratched her head dejectedly, "Sakurazawa huh... it’s all Sister Yin’s fault... she ended up overhearing my confession..."
"How was I to know she’d be lined up behind us... speaking of, her expression when she heard it was really strange... she was totally shocked... and absent-minded..."
Cute little Ise Yu sighed, "Who knows... maybe Sakurazawa has something for Shirakawa... ah forget it... Sister Yin, why do you always bring up my sad stories! I haven’t even sorted out my issues yet!"
"Oh right, right... Are you feeling any better now? Have those thoughts about Mr. Shirakawa decreased any?"
"Ah ah ah... I’m so annoyed... I just want to find someone to punch..."
"Alright, alright, good girl~" Hinata Rion comforted her with words as she moved a few steps away, avoiding cute little Ise Yu’s likely outburst.
This mixture of powerlessness, tension, fear, and entanglement almost drove this usually lively and adorable shoujo manga artist to collapse. She pounded the table angrily, "Darn Shirakawa... If he shows up in front of me now, I’d definitely give him a good two punches."
Hinata Rion was about to retort when the doorbell rang. She paused, murmuring, "And you dare to lay hands on Mr. Shirakawa? I bet you’d rather embrace him and give him a kiss... Seems like the pizza’s here."
"Depends, if he agrees to my confession, giving him a kiss wouldn’t be a problem..."
"What about after the kiss?" Hinata Rion opened the door, then froze in surprise.
"Can’t just tell a Minotaur like you~ Of course, as the Pure Love War God, I’ve got plans of my own... "
"Are you planning to hook up?"
"We’ll see how Shirakawa behaves." Cute little Ise Yu said resentfully, "But as for now... hmph, giving him a punch or two would be the least of it."
