Chapter 10: Please Do Not Like Me!

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

She was taken aback for a moment, her eyes brimming with tears as she changed her words, saying, "Even if I, Lord Ise Hane, were to self-destruct and ruin my reputation, I will not allow you to succeed!"

Therefore, after I first met you, Ichinose-san, I deduced from some small characteristics about you that you might be a hidden art enthusiast

Do you have a bit of self-awareness, Aoi Hane?

"How embarrassing, I actually cried in front of everyone on the first day of transferring schools... (;'д`)ゞ..." said Ise Hakuji with a sigh, speaking softly.

Shirakawa Zapei: "......"

Ishiki Hatori called out to Shirakawa Sawahira

You must be thinking of using the secrets in your hands to coerce me, right! Forcing a beautiful girl to submit to you through intimidation! How pathetic!

Otherwise, the possibility of losing both reputation and status would not be limited to the colorful silk haori, but would also extend to him being unable to live as a person

Shirakawa Zapei casually followed the impression of the Conan storyline and spun out a seemingly plausible reasoning process. It is truly not his fault; given the current situation, the only way to deal with this fool is to concoct a lie to fool him.

The one-colored haori and the brocade quilt have captivated me

"Terrible! Truly terrible! Shirakawa, I have really misjudged you!"

"Then you may jump now," said Shirakawa Zapei, stepping aside to indicate to Issei Hagi that she could go to the window

If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now

"Hmm." Shirakawazawa Hira continued, "I am a fan of deduction."

"Inference?" The foolish girl, Ise Hatori, was taken aback, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes, trembling slightly

Shirakawa Zapei pulled her to the window and said softly, "Please calm down for a moment."

It seems she recalled something, and Iroha Hōri carefully added, "However... Shirakawa-kun, please do not misunderstand, I did not invite you to dinner because I have feelings for you..."

This is the truth; although he is currently able to obtain a considerable scholarship, the income from part-time work is also quite substantial

Although I do not know what your secret is, the statement from the art club... is what I have deduced

I will not yield

He was not in the mood to argue too much with Yuhua, and compared to that, a significant amount of time for his club activities had already passed today

"I thought that kind of restricted plot would happen to a beautiful girl like me..." whispered Ichise Hakojin.

Of course, if you keep such thoughts to yourself and do not express them, I cannot do anything about it. However, if they are revealed, I will be quite troubled by it

"Classmate Yiyu, please calm down..." Shirakawa Zeping said softly

I initially thought you were a good person! Wuwuwuwu ... ...

If one were to scrutinize it carefully, Shirakawa Zeping's reasoning is absolutely untenable

At the very least, you should possess the capital akin to that of Hayakawa Natsuki to justify displaying such a guarded expression, right? A mere weakling who is only worthy of arm-wrestling with Asano Kaori dares to make a move that belongs to the strong.

Ishiki Hōri Nishiki spoke cautiously while observing the expression on Shirakawa Zawahei's face, seemingly afraid of hurting his pride

To express my apologies, let me treat you to a meal this weekend, Shirakawa!" Aoi Hōrinori patted her chest and said generously

He finally understood why Iroha and Asano Natsuori felt an instant connection; both of them had a perception of themselves that was quite different from that of ordinary people. One was a bit scheming, while the other was somewhat frivolous.

A single-colored haori, with tears welling up, vividly depicts the fate that lies ahead.

He secretly felt relieved that he had not been tempted by her artistic talent today, otherwise, having such a fool learning in his domain would likely affect his intelligence

How can you expect me to stay calm! Clearly, I am still a beautiful young girl in the prime of my life, yet I have to face such things... I will definitely be ruined by you... Wuwuwu... Mom, who will come to save me...

I truly do not know what secrets you have

Shirakawa Zeping looked bewildered, thinking to himself that this girl had quite an imagination.

Yise Yu, the adorable one, sincerely bowed and apologized. She straightened up, clasped her hands together, and with bright, sparkling eyes hinted: "I hope Shirakawa-san won't take today's events to heart~"

You still dare to argue! You already know that I have a secret! You might as well confess! How infuriating, even if I, Lord Yuhua, were to die, I will not allow you to succeed!

You are not the department head, Tsukimi Sakurazawa, who is as insignificant as a lowly creature; I do not even regard her figure with any respect, let alone be attracted to your mere two taels of soft flesh

If the other party is completely unaware, then your outburst only serves to prove that you have secrets that cannot be disclosed

This student... could it be that he is a fool

"But you are already self-destructing now..." Shirakawa Zeping said helplessly

Neither of them is a good person

I just caused you some trouble, I apologize, Classmate Shirakawa

"Put it out, put it out! It must be done. I will come to find you then, Bai Chuan classmate!" Yise Yu, the adorable one, insisted.

Shirakawa Zeping couldn't help but glance at her chest, and he had a strange premonition that this girl might have squandered her assets in this manner

No, thank you. I have to work this weekend," he politely declined

Since it does not take up much of my time to gain skill experience, there is no reason to completely give it up

There are calluses on the hands, rubber shavings on the nails, and the way of holding the pen is somewhat different from others

Fortunately, the subject is a person of pure elegance, who has only added a touch of imagination without infusing any illogical delusions of grandeur. Upon realizing that she had not leaked any secrets, she let out a long sigh of relief and patted her chest, saying: "Thank goodness, thank goodness... you scared me to death..."

... ...

"While using unspeakable secrets to make me bow my head, threatening me to do things I dislike... even... even requiring me to..."

Shirakawa Zeppei looked at the action of Issei tightly wrapping the kimono around his chest with a hint of speechlessness, thinking to himself, I am not doing anything to you, so why make such a gesture for no reason

The girl finally came to her senses and looked around. Many people's attention had already been drawn to her recent tearful performance. However, they all adhered to the principle of not causing trouble for others, trying to observe the spectacle from a distance.

"Rest assured, there will be no investigation," replied Shirakawa Zeping, speechless.

In this sentence, Yise Yu did not express much doubt; in Neon, detective novels and films are extremely popular, and many people are fans of detective stories

"Because you were invited to dinner by a girl, you might think that she must have a crush on you. Please, Shirakawa, do not entertain such thoughts..."

Would a normal person think this way? You must be dazed from reading that material, right
