CHAPTER 449: CHAPTER 442: I’M QUITE HYPOCRITICAL

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

"If I really lost my memory, would you still have tried to trick me for a while?" He asked with suspicion, "You wouldn’t falsely accuse me of doing something to you, would you?"

"I wouldn’t do that, but explaining things would be much easier."

"..."

"Then I should really be thankful that I didn’t drink until I blacked out." Shirakawa Sawahei irritably reached up to pinch his brow, starting to slowly recall what had happened before...

Boys in a truly drunken state aren’t capable of committing crimes, Shirakawa Sawahei was well aware of this, and wasn’t afraid that the Evil Little Arrogant and the Lazy Girl would try to blackmail him like before.

The key is, how did I end up back in the hotel room with the Evil Little Arrogant... and it seems like this is the Evil Little Arrogant’s room?

At first, I was... happily skiing with Miss Kaori... it was easy going, given the Evil Little Arrogant’s great athletic talent, and the Main Character buff was still on, it wasn’t long before we were skiing down the slopes together.

The snow cave nonsense was obviously the Evil Little Arrogant trying to fish; if a VIP ski resort suddenly had an unknown snow cave that made guests fall in and not come out, they’d probably have to shut down... But about falling, I think I did fall...

After all, it’s skiing, falling should be pretty normal... so how did I end up drinking? And without my knowledge...

Shirakawa Sawahei fell into a deep thought, slowly recalling...

Oh... I think it was when I was avoiding an obstacle, I fell and rolled a couple of times, getting snow into my clothes?

Then... the Evil Little Arrogant skied over to check on me and, skillfully taunting me, I angrily grabbed her little hand, and we both rolled in the snow?

Then... we both ended up back in the Evil Little Arrogant’s room...

Later... the Evil Little Arrogant handed me a cup, saying it was to warm up...

And then... I completely blacked out?

Having pieced everything together, Shirakawa Sawahei gazed expressionlessly at the Evil Little Arrogant.

Found it, the source of all evil, the main culprit behind everything!

"What I handed you was indeed wine, but who knew you’d collapse in shock after just one sip." Miss Kaori deflected the blame: "It’s not my fault, I didn’t do anything after you got drunk."

"It’s not your fault and it is somehow mine? I thought it was hot cocoa!"

"You know I don’t drink that stuff." Miss Kaori pouted.

"Of course I know, but what if you suddenly became considerate and prepared a cup for me? I wouldn’t have taken a sip so defenselessly if it weren’t for my endless trust in Hayakawa."

Hayakawa Kashi heard this and sneered: "Shirakawa doesn’t trust me to understand you, but trusts strange things instead, is that my fault?"

"And, what do you mean suddenly became considerate, does Shirakawa think I’m not considerate enough usually?"

"This..."

Shirakawa Sawahei decided not to argue with the Evil Little Arrogant on this point, after all, when girls argue, they have an innate keen insight to swiftly and accurately find your logical loopholes and counter them. This characteristic is fully embodied in the incredibly smart and cunning Evil Little Arrogant.

"Ah... my head hurts... I can’t drink... tsk..."

Seeing this, Miss Kaori slightly frowned, her slender, fair fingers gently pressed against Shirakawa Sawahei’s temples, but the mocking smile on her face remained: "Reasoning failed, so you play the sympathy card now to gain compassion?"

"No such thing, my headache is the typical reaction after a hangover." Shirakawa Sawahei refused to admit he was playing the sympathy card just now, closing his eyes as he spoke: "Besides, Hayakawa should bear some responsibility too, right?"

Miss Kaori fell silent, just lightly massaging his head with her fingers, her hands, which should have been dancing over piano keys, seemed unusually fitting for a massage.

Shirakawa Sawahei suddenly felt that the Evil Little Arrogant might have a gift for massage after all... Tsukimi might have one too, but unfortunately, she wasn’t the studying type.

"How long did I sleep?"

"You should ask how long you were unconscious."

"Oh, then how long was I unconscious?"

The Evil Little Arrogant stopped her finger movements and said, "It’s eight in the evening now, how long do you think you were unconscious?"

"It’s that late?" Shirakawa Sawahei was slightly surprised, it seems the wine the Evil Little Arrogant handed him earlier had a high alcohol content, otherwise, how to explain going from a bottle knockout to just one gulp blackout?

Shirakawa Sawahei reluctantly got up from the Evil Little Arrogant’s lap, sat on the couch, looked at her, and only then noticed the girl’s expressionless delicate face seemed to carry a faint blush.

"Hayakawa...?"

"You saw wrong."

"..."

I hadn’t even said what I saw, and I’m supposedly wrong already, does Miss Kaori know there’s something wrong with her face?

"For your information, the air conditioning here is a bit warm, and you were lying on me without moving for a long time." The Evil Little Arrogant nodded seriously: "So, please don’t get strange ideas, I’ll be very troubled."

"Hayakawa never cared about what others thought before..." Shirakawa Sawahei asked suspiciously, "Did you also lose your memory?"

"..."

"No." Hayakawa Kashi shifted her gaze, adding with a bit of annoyed tone: "It’s time for dinner."

This topic shift was somewhat awkward, not at all like Miss Kaori’s usual level. Shirakawa Sawahei stretched and nodded: "Well... let’s go, considering that Hayakawa didn’t take advantage of me while I was unconscious and even took the initiative to care for me gently, I’ll treat tonight’s dinner."

"Not sure if there are any restaurants still open... and whether the kitchen is available for us to cook ourselves, if possible..."

"Hold on..."

"What?"

"My leg is numb." Miss Kaori said with a straight face: "Help me pack it in, please."

"..."

"You look quite shocked?" Hayakawa asked blandly, "What do you think I’m made of? Wouldn’t I get tired from you sleeping on me the whole afternoon?"

Though there’s a lot to unpack in that sentence, it seems to make some sense... Those so-called couples living together, girls sleeping in the same bed with their boyfriends often like resting on their arms like in idol dramas, but people who have experienced it know that come the next day, the boyfriend’s arm is pretty much useless...

So in this way, the Evil Little Arrogant was genuinely tender for once.

"Why didn’t you let me sleep on the bed?" Shirakawa Sawahei sat back down, his tone a bit odd.

"You wanted to sleep in my bed?"

"..."

"The couch is fine too."

"Didn’t you say? I should take responsibility for your unconsciousness." Hayakawa shifted her gaze, speaking in a calm tone: "I took responsibility."

Shirakawa Sawahei was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Sounds just like Miss Kaori’s usual style."

"I’ll take that as a compliment, saying it’s my usual style."

"Of course it’s a compliment... but I’m curious, what would you do if you got someone drunk and had to be responsible in your way, Hayakawa?"

Miss Kaori gave him a curious look and said blandly, "Do nothing."

"Hmm?"

"Because, I’m actually quite double-standard." The Evil Little Arrogant said softly, "So, it’s none of my business."

"..."

Have to admit, a particular Virgo old player just suddenly realized for a moment there, being double-standard isn’t necessarily a bad habit.
