CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 433: KISSED ALREADY?

Shirakawa Sawahei sat down on the other side of the sofa, casually saying, "Your tastes are similar to mine, so just pick what I like to eat."

Miss Kaori pulled the corners of her mouth: "Is this a different level of confidence?"

"This is a hypothesis based on practice."

"Hmm..." Evil Little Arrogant nodded gently and took a bite of her sandwich.

"Since the sandwich tastes pretty good, I’ll just ignore Shirakawa’s childish remarks for now."

"..."

Don’t think I didn’t hear that, you said for ’now’, so does that mean you’ll hold a grudge once you’re done eating?

Forget it, forget it. Grudges aside, the urgent matter now is to contact the Black Hearted Lolita and see what’s going on with her.

But as a mature old player with a guilty conscience, how could I possibly bring it up first?

Shirakawa Sawahei decided to wait for Little Arrogant to be unable to suppress her curiosity and take the initiative to approach him, to gain a psychological advantage. This way, he not only knew the situation with Black Hearted Lolita but could also curb her arrogant personality.

Killing two birds with one stone, Shirakawa Sawahei considered himself a genius.

No one understands Hayakawa Kashi better than I do, I’ve said this months ago, but unfortunately, no one believed me.

Yet, even after Evil Little Arrogant finished her sandwich, the girl didn’t seem inclined to speak.

"Does Shirakawa want to watch TV?" Little Arrogant asked.

"..."

Don’t act like I’m a guest in your room! I’m here to gather information about the little Lolita! Don’t think you can use such tactics to make me drop my guard.

"Thanks, let’s watch ’Animal World’."

You might think my move is lackluster, why? Because you can’t, so you would.

What kind of character is Little Arrogant, the real sister of Nazuki Asano, and a hidden tsundere siscon, if I accidentally slipped up, the story would fast forward to its conclusion.

Having taken so much advantage of Black Hearted Lolita... Shirakawa Sawahei had not a single innocent finger. Whether it’s an iron-bar end or the seabed of Tokyo Bay, neither could be unjustified.

Delay, just drag it out.

Evil Little Arrogant had no intention of complaining about this strange plot direction, handing Shirakawa Sawahei a remote, indicating he should operate it himself.

The room was immediately filled with an odd yet calm atmosphere, the TV content unrelated to the two outside. Both clearly wanted to ask what was going on but tactfully chose not to be the first to speak.

"Oh, a mating scene is starting." Miss Kaori glanced sideways at him: "Was that calculated by Shirakawa?"

"..."

In general, when watching TV with parents or the opposite sex, shouldn’t everyone tactfully pick up a cup or go to the bathroom when a kissing or intimate scene shows up? Little Arrogant doesn’t play by normal rules.

Animal R18 scenes, could they really be used as a reason to blame me?!

Shirakawa Sawahei took a sip of milk and calmly put down the glass.

"Since Hayakawa, you’re still a child, let’s watch something appropriate for children."

"It seems you’re drinking my milk."

"I know, but you haven’t drunk it yet, right?"

"That’s mine." Evil Little Arrogant said with a blank expression: "I just held it."

"..."

"What are you thinking?"

"I’m thinking about whether Hayakawa ever touched me before."

Indeed, it runs in the family, after Black Hearted Lolita’s licking declaration, Evil Little Arrogant invented a new way of claiming ownership.

I’ve touched it, so it’s mine now.

The sister being more powerful than the brother makes sense.

Miss Kaori was momentarily choked by Shirakawa Sawahei’s words, her little face cold: "Shirakawa, robbing things from girls isn’t something a top student would do."

"Who says I haven’t taken things from girls before." Shirakawa Sawahei reminded her: "Didn’t I snatch your top student title?"

"..."

It’s bright, it’s bright, the machete is glinting.

"Alright, I’ll bring you another drink later, would you like to drink it now or before bed?"

"Now."

"Hmm? But you just didn’t..."

"Now." Hayakawa Kashi repeated.

"..."

"Alright, alright, let’s go out and buy." Shirakawa Sawahei said as he stood up from the sofa: "Milk, right?"

Evil Little Arrogant looked at him quietly, not saying a word for a long time. Finally, she pursed her lips and murmured lightly: "Suddenly craving something from the vending machine, let’s go."

"Where to?"

"If there’s a vending machine here, I’m sure it wouldn’t be in a guest room."

Miss Kaori picked up her coat from the hook, casually wrapped a scarf around her neck, turned to glance at Shirakawa, and said curiously: "Shirakawa doesn’t seem to have a scarf."

"No need for that indoors."

"Really?" Little Arrogant said while walking: "In that case, as a reward for helping me learn to ski, I can give you a scarf."

Hmm? Elements detected, can get something for free?

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony."

"No problem, you’re buying the drinks."

"..."

I knew it, there’s no way the old capitalist Hayakawa Kashi would let me get away with a freebie!

Filled with resentment, Shirakawa Sawahei left the room with Little Arrogant. Night skiing is not a good choice for most people, given the low temperatures at night, limited visibility, and light reflections on the ski slopes affecting beginners. Most Akihisa High School students opted to enjoy skiing tomorrow.

Nighttime has its activities, with the inn’s rooms lit up, whether gathered or scattered, playing hanafuda, chatting, all filled with the unique idleness of student days, evoking nostalgia in some adult tourists.

No matter where people come from, during their student days, they yearn to escape and, as adults, desperately want to go back. Most people in this world are just as boringly alike.

Outside, it was quietly peaceful. The orange light reflecting on the snow in some places was blinding as sunlight. Shirakawa Sawahei and Little Arrogant slowly walked out of the room, reached the vending machine on the first floor, and inserted some coins.

With a couple of clinks, two corresponding bottles dropped one-by-one from the vending machines, and Shirakawa Sawahei and Hayakawa Kashi bent down to retrieve their drinks.

"Want to make a toast?" Shirakawa Sawahei asked.

"We’re drinking juice, not alcohol."

"I know, and I put in the coins myself." Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, "You really lack a sense of ceremony, Hayakawa."

Miss Kaori pursed her lips, reluctantly tapped Shirakawa’s can: "Unless you want to interlock, this is as childish as I can get."

"Mm." Shirakawa Sawahei chuckled softly, "Then it’s truly considerate of Miss Kaori to find time to indulge in this childish ceremony with me amidst her busy schedule."

"No worries." Hayakawa Kashi took a sip of her drink, her gaze falling on the swirling snowflakes outside.

Time seemed to slow to a halt, the crisp and cooling taste of apple juice calming Shirakawa Sawahei a bit. He turned his head to look at Little Arrogant’s profile. Before he could say anything, Miss Kaori suddenly spoke.

"So... you’ve kissed?"

"What?"

"You and Nazuki."

Without any warning, that Evil Little Arrogant calmly uttered the most unexpected and shock-inducing words to the old player Shirakawa Sawahei, leaving him shaken.
