The first confession, followed by the first kiss. Shirakawa Sawahei felt that Little Arrogant was behaving strangely.
Could this girl also have been craving my body all along? Who was the last one to confess and kiss during the first confession and then try again after failing? Wasn’t that Kato Hui?
Thankfully, Shirakawa Sawahei and Hayakawa Kashi weren’t in a typical nerd and random girl relationship. After the sweet first kiss ended, he gazed at the beautiful face so close to him, his heart full of warmth.
"What are you thinking?" Little Arrogant raised an eyebrow.
"I was thinking if the first kiss just failed, should we try it again."
"But it succeeded, didn’t it? So there’s no need."
Even after responding to the confession, Little Arrogant didn’t forget her persona. She casually spoke after carefully choosing her words. Shirakawa Sawahei held Hayakawa Kashi’s soft hand, both amused and exasperated, and said, "I say, Miss Hayakawa, now that you’re basically a girlfriend, can’t you just openly reply: I like you too?"
"What did you say in your first confession? To you all?"
"..."
"Let’s talk about things after the confession," suggested Shirakawa Sawahei, changing the topic. "This is my first ti confessing to a girl, and I have no idea what to do next."
Hayakawa Kashi raised an eyebrow, seemingly in a good mood. "Oh, really?"
"Of course, do I look like soone with a lot of dating experience?"
"Then where did your confession just now co from?"
"It was spontaneous."
Little Arrogant gave a noncommittal nod. "So, what do you want to do next?"
"I don’t know... Miss Hayakawa, you’re not in a hurry to go back, are you?"
"I can be in a hurry or not. It’s up to ."
"Then let’s not be in a hurry." Shirakawa Sawahei intertwined his fingers with Little Arrogant’s hand.
"Watch the snow scene?"
"Up to you."
Shirakawa Sawahei happily pulled her along, picking up a dropped hot drink and throwing it into the trash. He turned and asked, "By the way, have I ever told you you’re cute?"
"No."
"Really, never?"
Little Arrogant’s eyes sharpened. "Are you planning to start a fight right after the confession?"
"I did read ’Emotional Intelligence’ a few tis." Shirakawa Sawahei nodded with a smile. "Miss Hayakawa, although it’s past now, you were very cute when you agreed to my confession just now."
"I know."
"You’re really not polite at all."
"Do I need to be polite to you?"
"No need."
The two walked, occasionally sinking deeper into the snow as flakes began to cover the ground. Little Arrogant walked silently for a while before suddenly saying, "About what you ntioned before, did soone recently confess to you?"
"Yeah."
The girl nodded gently, pulling out the phone that Shirakawa Sawahei had just given her, and said, "Soone just ssaged you."
"When?"
"When you went to buy drinks."
Shirakawa Sawahei took his phone back. It was a few lines from Tsukimi sakurazawa, concise and to the point.
[Shirakawa...]
[Shirakawa? Are you there...? Can you take a call?]
[Shirakawa... Can I... just say one thing?]
[Shirakawa...]
[There’s no pure friendship between n and won...]
[I’m sorry.]
Holding the phone, Shirakawa Sawahei was montarily stunned as the scenes that previously flashed through his mind beca clear again.
So Tsukimi also...
"A confession?" Miss Kaori asked softly. "Did I accidentally make you miss her confession again, just like when I blocked those love letters for you before?"
"..."
[Confession interception progress: 100%. Target’s affection increased, unlocking a new skill bonus.]
Shirakawa Sawahei, suddenly snapping back to reality, rembered the presence of the low-b system. Realizing the situation, he found it hilarious. Tsukimi sakurazawa had pretended to be a good brother for so long, only to be spurred into confessing, a timing clash with his confession to Little Arrogant... In a single-protagonist world line, Tsukimi might certainly be the inevitable loser.
Whew~ Fortunately, I’m planning to be a playboy. It’s no big deal.
It’s just confessing again later. Besides, I need to reply to cute little Ise Yu, so I’ll just go to bed a bit later tonight.
Harem King? Sorry, that’s not for the righteous protagonist... When I saw Cheng being stabbed, dismbered, and the scene etched in my mory, I thought if I ever had the chance to form a harem, I’d ensure a happy ending. Now, with the girls before , I must consider if this is my one and only chance in life.
I believe the profession of the playboy owes its status and reputation to Ito Sei’s indispensable contribution. To restore the glory of the playboy king, Asano Fūsei and I are duty-bound!
If so middle-aged Long Aotian knew what Shirakawa Sawahei was thinking, he would slowly type out a question mark.
?
Could you not drag into your boasting? We are not the sa.
"Her confession isn’t from the sa person who confessed to before." Miss Kaori frowned slightly. "Sumr Weave?"
"Of course not, your younger sister hasn’t planned to confess to yet... although her situation is quite special."
"So what do you plan to do?"
"Who? Sumr Weave? Or another confession?"
Little Arrogant said nothing, holding Shirakawa Sawahei’s hand and stopping, her eyes quietly looking at him. Shirakawa Sawahei returned her gaze, speaking softly, "As for Sumr Weave...if she knows I’m with you...she might be quite upset...I don’t know whether she’ll give up or confess to as well...If she gives up, I have no words, but if she confesses to too..."
"I’ll accept."
Shirakawa Sawahei’s hand was imdiately squeezed by Little Arrogant’s force. With a sarcastic smile, she said coldly, "Is this what you learned from my father?"
"Hmm... there’s actually more... Miss Hayakawa... you’re going to break your boyfriend’s hand... hey, hey..."
"I can’t acknowledge a boyfriend who has odd feelings toward my sister." Miss Kaori’s gaze turned dark, saying coolly, "Who gave you the courage to say such things after confessing to ? Hmm?"
"Maybe Liang Jingru..." Shirakawa Sawahei ntioned a joke only he understood, but with a slightly changing expression, he said, "Miss Hayakawa... the hand... hand... sumr solstice... it’s going to break if you keep squeezing..."
"It seems that Mr. Shirakawa still doesn’t understand ." Hayakawa Kashi sneered. "Do you think I’d split you with Sumr Weave like my mother and the others?"
"Do you have a serious misunderstanding of ? Hmm?"
"Aren’t you a sis-con... stop, stop... I get it, my girlfriend definitely isn’t a sis-con; she’s been fighting with her sister since childhood, and definitely isn’t that twisted kind like Yukinoshita Yonai."
Shirakawa Sawahei took a deep breath, speaking slowly. "To take all the punishnt for today... I want to say sothing else..."
"About... those confessions from before... I plan to respond to each one."
Miss Kaori fell silent, her expression quickly turning cold. She shrugged off Shirakawa Sawahei’s hand and turned away. There was no way Shirakawa Sawahei would let her leave just like that. He imdiately tried to pull her back, but Hayakawa Kashi shook him off again.
Little Arrogant gave him a cold glance and walked away. Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t intend to give up and continued to follow.
"I don’t intend to hide it from you. The one who confessed to was a girl from the Calligraphy Club..." Shirakawa Sawahei said seriously. "One is Ise Yu Yuzhijin, and the other is Tsukimi sakurazawa, the girl who you accidentally blocked earlier."
"Liking you is true, and being unable to let go of them is also true. I don’t plan to hide it from anyone. Because I like you, I confessed to you. And because I like them, I’ve decided to respond to their feelings..."
"I’m not going to hide my confession to you from the two of them... I will be as honest with them as with you about how I feel."
Hayakawa Kashi stopped, seemingly amused, or perhaps hearing such an unusual approach for the first ti, turned and asked, "What you just said... is it true?"
"True."
"You plan to accept anyone and tell everyone who likes you that you’re preparing to have a harem in modern society?"
"It’s not accepting everyone; I only like a few of you." Shirakawa Sawahei nodded. "As for a harem... I’m not wishing for that."
"So, you plan to tell Tsukimi sakurazawa and Ise Yu Yuzhijin that although you’ve confessed to , you plan to simultaneously accept their feelings and hope they’ll understand?"
Despite being ntally prepared to be an old playboy, being asked directly by his girlfriend still made Shirakawa Sawahei a bit nervous. He coughed lightly and nodded, "Not accepting, just not wanting to hide it from them, the choice is theirs. But I will work hard to pursue them and make them choose ."
"How would you know if they are willing to accept it?"
"I have my ways." Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, thinking of his own low-b system.
Now it seems, only the low-b system could help him accomplish this playboy undertaking... As long as the strategy doesn’t fail and the girls don’t truly hate him, then keep holding on.
Even if such entanglent appears filthy and shaless to outsiders, he harbors no regrets.
As Asano Fūsei said, so responsibilities you have to bear, and so punishnts you deserve to take.
As a playboy, one must have the mindset for it.
"You should know Tsukimi sakurazawa Family’s background isn’t ordinary..."
"I know, the Hayakawa family isn’t an ordinary household either." Shirakawa Sawahei pretended to be relaxed. "I will work hard, including accumulating my wealth, surpassing the Tsukimi Family and the Hayakawa family."
Hayakawa Kashi gave a gentle nod, her gaze suddenly becoming tranquil.
"You know this kind of behavior..."
"Being a playboy, I know." Shirakawa Sawahei said, "But I should be a bit more honest than a playboy."
"As well as a little more shaless."
"Yes."
"So... Kashi..."
Little Arrogant’s eyes grew cold, lightly scoffing, "Who gave you permission to call by na."
"..."
"Ahem... If Hayakawa classmate is really angry, just punch twice then..."
Hayakawa Kashi’s gaze began moving down.
"Not there! Miss Hayakawa, could you please treat your boyfriend a bit better?"
"Who admitted you’re my boyfriend." The girl said coldly, "And, I’m not angry."
"Then..."
The girl’s cold little face suddenly blood with a hint of mocking smile. She pursed her lips, speaking softly, "To have you say such things in front of , I don’t know whether to call you brave, or call myself incapable..."
"But, if you want to follow this idea, then go ahead."
"Anyway... I don’t think they’ll accept... including Sumr Weave." Little Arrogant said, leaning over slightly, whispering in his ear, "Want to bet?"
"From the mont I confessed to you, I was already on the gambling table." Shirakawa Sawahei said confidently, "Even if I lose miserably, I won’t regret it."
