"When Shirakawa is feeling guilty, does he always add a promise like that?"
"I’m not feeling guilty." Shirakawa Sawahei’s face turned dark: "Hayakawa, you need evidence to make such claims."
"Evidence? You’ve never sworn to before, Shirakawa, does that count as evidence?"
"Well... Hayakawa, maybe you rembered it wrong?"
"I have a good mory, especially when it cos to what Shirakawa has said."
Shirakawa Sawahei was stunned: "Are you trying to flirt with ? Should I act shy now?"
Miss Kaori was silent for a mont, turned her head, only leaving him with an expressionless profile: "Shirakawa, you’re actually quite annoying right now."
"Oh, compared to Hayakawa, I’m still far behind~"
Hayakawa Kashi: "..."
Shirakawa Sawahei, holding a grudge 1...
Although the chat with the Little Arrogant deviated a bit, Shirakawa Sawahei did not forget the important matters. Regarding the identity of the whimpering creature, it was clear that Hayakawa Kashi knew about it. However, due to so sort of guilty pleasure in watching the drama, or maybe Miss Kaori just couldn’t be bothered to say, she never revealed anything about Tsukimi sakurazawa’s background to Shirakawa Sawahei.
To be honest, Shirakawa Sawahei hadn’t been able to figure out from just now why the well-educated Tsukimi Yamadori would clash with the Little Arrogant’s mother.
Aside from being a bit rigid with rules, Tsukimi Yamadori is clearly a very easygoing elder. But the intense confrontation just now made Shirakawa Sawahei find it hard to believe that he had earlier dared to ask openly if she had investigated him.
If it weren’t for having a good relationship with the whimperer, Tsukimi Yamadori might not have been so polite to him... Thinking about it this way, should I thank Tsukimi?
Shirakawa Sawahei lightly shook his head, as if trying to clear all the strange thoughts in his head this way, then said goodbye to the Little Arrogant, and walked towards the office. His eting with three parties hadn’t finished yet, more precisely, it hadn’t even started.
Moreover... Tsukimi Yamadori was still inside.
"Mr. Shirakawa."
Seeing him return, Tsukimi Yamadori nodded slightly: "I’m sorry, we delayed your three-party eting because of us. I hope you’ll forgive us."
"It’s nothing..." Shirakawa Sawahei added in his heart, "after all, my parents didn’t co."
"After the eting ends, I’d like to talk to you alone, is that alright?"
"No problem, I’ll co find you later."
"No need, I’ll be waiting outside for you."
After saying this, Tsukimi Yamadori elegantly stood up, nodded gently as a sign of courtesy, and then left the office.
With the departure of the two big shots, the office atmosphere finally returned to normal. Uehara Shigeo gently patted his chest in relief, still fearful: "I didn’t expect Hayakawa’s parents to be so intimidating... Could they be yakuza?"
"What are you talking about! Hayakawa is so independent and excellent, of course her parents are outstanding too!" Teacher Takagi retorted, dissatisfied.
"Say what you will, but it’s terrifying. There’s an illusion that if I’m not careful, she’ll devour completely..."
"What do you have that’s worth eating? With all your fat?"
"I call it the sedint of ti! As if you don’t have any!"
Shirakawa Sawahei on the side: "..."
Hayakawa Sawaba is probably an old capitalist too, and Uehara Shigeo’s words seem quite accurate... but...
"Both teachers, how long are you going to huddle together? They’ve already left so there’s no need to be afraid... Shall we formally start the three-party eting?"
Uehara Shigeo: "..."
Teacher Takagi: "..."
...
The three-party eting for Shirakawa Sawahei ended fairly quickly, mainly because Uehara Shigeo had just been through an awkward situation with his nesis. He basically asked a few questions hastily and concluded the eting.
What’s your future goal?
Further studies.
Which university?
Tokyo University, it seems alright.
Great! You have ambition! Shirakawa, I believe in you! You can do it. Please call in the next student... Oh, that student’s parent wants to speak to you, right? Well, forget it, I’ll call soone else then...
So, not long after parting with Tsukimi Yamadori, Shirakawa Sawahei t her again outside.
"Is it over, Mr. Shirakawa?"
"Yeah. My parents didn’t have ti to co, so it didn’t take long... What did Mrs. Tsukimi want to say?"
Tsukimi Yamadori was silent for a mont before speaking softly: "First, I want to apologize for today’s incident, for disturbing you for various reasons... I am very sorry."
"No need for that." Shirakawa Sawahei hurriedly said, "I should be the one apologizing for previously troubling Mrs. Tsukimi and asking so strange questions."
Tsukimi Yamadori shook her head: "That’s separate and shouldn’t be offset by each other."
"Secondly, I have an unreasonable request regarding today’s matter."
"If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Shirakawa should have already learned about the background of the Tsukimi Family, right?"
Shirakawa Sawahei remained silent, not answering, so Tsukimi Yamadori continued: "Sakurazawa didn’t intentionally hide this from you, and I hope you won’t hold a grudge because of it."
"I don’t want my daughter to be unable to make true friends because of her family background, and I also believe that Mr. Shirakawa can et my expectations."
"This is just a little bit of selfishness from a mother, hoping you can fulfill it, Mr. Shirakawa."
"Does Mrs. Tsukimi an... you want to continue treating Tsukimi like before?" Shirakawa Sawahei said with a puzzled expression: "In this situation... wouldn’t it be odd if anything changed?"
"Even though it sounds cliché, I’m honestly not friends with Tsukimi because of her family background."
Even if you stop pretending, co clean, I’ll still continue to interact with you as an ordinary person.
Don’t ask why, it’s just the protagonist’s pride.
Tsukimi Yamadori paused, as if understanding sothing, then nodded with a light laugh: "I overthought it, excuse , Mr. Shirakawa."
Just as Shirakawa Sawahei was about to say sothing, a familiar cute figure walked out of the adjacent office. Tachibana Tomoku ca out, looking slightly surprised when she saw Shirakawa Sawahei.
"Shirakawa..."
From behind the Little Invisible Study Girl, a stranger woman appeared, holding so docunts, and upon seeing Tachibana Tomoku stop, asked curiously.
"Xiao Mo? What’s the matter? Why aren’t you moving?"
Hearing this address, Shirakawa Sawahei imdiately understood the identity of the unfamiliar woman.
Birth mother, given the looks, given the address! No doubt it’s her birth mother!
It’s strange, during just this short three-party eting ti, Shirakawa Sawahei had already t the mothers of four of his study girls, and two of them were ones he had never t before!
A coincidence? Maybe there’s a bit of that involved... but, please don’t forget, I’m a man who’s been backstabbed by the system multiple tis!
There were no assassins in this world, but after being backstabbed many tis, you learn how to backstab others too.
