The reactions of the two experienced young ladies when caught revealed their different personalities. The slacker girl struggled for a second and immediately played dead, while the whimpering one covered her face and started to play the sympathy card like crazy.
"Shirakawa! Shirakawa, I’m wrong... waaa... This is my first time... Just forgive me, okay? I used to be so well-behaved, you know that, right?"
"For the sake of the past! I’m begging you... Shirakawa, I’ll do anything... Just don’t hit me... it’s too embarrassing..."
"Everyone has moments of youthful folly, I was just too eager for knowledge... You can’t blame me..."
"I don’t understand youthful folly, I only know about righteousness." Shirakawa Sawahei sneered, "Eager for knowledge? How come I never saw you so eager about studying?"
"Health and physical education is also studying... Shirakawa, don’t look at me... give me some dignity..."
"Dignity? You were planning to pull down my pants and still want dignity?"
"But I didn’t actually do it, did I? That’s called discontinuing a crime."
"Stop making excuses for yourself! That’s called attempted crime!"
"Don’t be so serious... Shirakawa, you’re not a law student... Anyway, my behavior wasn’t too bad... please, just forgive me..."
"The one down there, stop playing dead. I’m bringing the rolling pin over..."
The slacker girl remained motionless, playing dead to the fullest, leaving Shirakawa Sawahei with no choice but to deal with the whimpering drama queen begging for mercy.
"Speak! Was this a spur of the moment or premeditated?"
The whimpering drama queen hesitated for a moment, "Uh... which answer gets a lighter punishment?"
"Alright, alright... I’ll tell you..."
"Put your hands down."
"No! My face is red right now... I can’t look you in the eye, Shirakawa..."
"I’m a girl, you know..."
"I don’t acknowledge any girls who pull down their friends’ pants."
"There are! Didn’t Orikin do it with me!"
Shirakawa Sawahei glanced nonchalantly at the slacker girl lying there playing dead and said, "She’s not like you."
"Why! We’re doing the same thing, how can you have double standards against Orikin!"
"This isn’t double standards... Anyway, you don’t understand..."
"Shirakawa, you old scumbag! I hate you! Hmph, let go of me, I don’t want to be held by someone I hate!"
Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
With your lousy tsundere acting, you still want to fool me? Go learn how to act naturally from Asano Nazuki first, alright?
"Let’s talk about the punishment."
Tsukimi sakurazawa’s face crumbled, pitifully saying, "Shirakawa~ Can we not have punishment..."
"No punishment? So you can have the guts to try again next time?" Shirakawa Sawahei sneered, "For things , you must understand what fear beyond death means from the first time."
"No way... You’re lying, Shirakawa... What are you going to do... It’s just a joke, right... this fear thing... just a joke, right..."
Shirakawa Sawahei let go of the slacker girl’s hand, coldly smiled, and pulled the whimpering one towards the room...
"Shirakawa... Shirakawa..."
The slacker girl quietly turned her head, squinting to see what was happening, only to see Tsukimi sakurazawa holding onto Shirakawa Sawahei’s hand, like a child being dragged to cram school by their parents, full of reluctance...
"Ahhhhh! Shirakawa! I’m fighting with you..."
A short while later, angry cries of indignation came from the room. Tsukimi sakurazawa, utterly embarrassed, was furious, but after two dull thumps, the girl softly whimpered and switched to a pitiful tone...
"Please, don’t do this... Your words are too much... Aren’t we good buddies? Who treats good buddies this way..."
"No no no... Put down the phone... let’s talk properly... I’ll listen to you..."
The slacker girl patted her chest in fear, thinking it was clever to pretend to be dead... a furious Shirakawa classmate isn’t susceptible to emotional pleas... there’s no point admitting to wrongdoing!
Sakurazawa-chan, may your fate be well spared, how tragic.
Hmm? This haiku of mine, it seems quite poetic...
"Shirakawa... I can’t hang on anymore... my back is so sore..."
"Even if you can’t hang on, you have to persist. Who told you to be so daring!"
"Can you go out first... Can you leave the room first... Having someone here in this position makes me shy..."
"No way! If I leave, how will I punish you! Keep going!"
Shirakawa’s punishment... is it the kind I imagine?
So should I run now... or continue to play dead...
If I keep playing dead, will Shirakawa just...
This... this familiar scenario... Have I read it in a doujinshi!??
On this side, the slacker girl battled internally who knows how long, when suddenly the door to the room clicked open, startling her into swiftly closing her eyes again, deciding to continue playing dead...
Heaven help us, hope Sakurazawa-chan is alright...
"Wow... Shirakawa... my legs are weak... help me down the stairs..."
"You brought this on yourself." Shirakawa Sawahei sneered, "Now you know you’re wrong?"
"I know... I know... I won’t dare again... Shirakawa, you’re not human, you’re a devil..."
"Hmm??" Shirakawa Sawahei calmly looked at her, "Judging by what you’re saying...do you want a second round with Ise Yu?"
Having just been through a punishment, the whimpering one quickly shook her head, signaling she didn’t dare to be mischievous anymore...
"Go home and reflect on what you’ve done." Shirakawa Sawahei said crossly, "If there’s a next time, it won’t be something resolved with horse stance anymore."
"Who uses embarrassing photos of a girl’s history to threaten her into a horse stance... Shirakawa, calling you a devil feels a bit too light... you’re the devil among devils."
"Keep talking and I won’t help you down..."
"No... my legs have almost lost all feeling right now."
"I was merciful enough not to make you do frog jumps. This amount is nothing in the Huaxia Shaolin Temple."
"You even considered making me frog jump!! Shirakawa! If my back goes, how does that benefit you! Have the decency to be human..."
"Didn’t make you jump, did I? Less talk, hurry back home."
"I can’t, my legs are useless... I need to lie on the couch for a while...
After settling the whimpering one, Shirakawa Sawahei finally had the time to deal with the audacious slacker girl.
At this moment, this person still harbored unrealistic fantasies and naive hopes, continuing to lie on the floor playing dead...
Survival Skills Tip1: As long as I resist opening my eyes... Shirakawa won’t devour me... I mean, punish me!!
Stay calm! Stay calm! No matter how gentle Shirakawa’s tone is... don’t believe it!
"Regarding your punishment, I think it should differ from Tsukimi’s..."
"Why!" The whimpering one angrily exclaimed, "Shirakawa, you can’t be biased! You must spread the love evenly!"
Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at Tsukimi without responding, and continued, "So you don’t need to do horse stance, nor worry about being hit..."
"Then what kind of punishment will I get..."
The slacker girl couldn’t help but open her eyes, curious, then she seemed to realize she had been tricked, and quickly shut her eyes again.
"Stop pretending, get up and listen to the punishment, otherwise you’ll end up doing a horse stance like Tsukimi!"
The cute little Ise Yu’s face stiffened as she obediently got up.
"Shirakawa, you have to keep your word... don’t pinch my cheeks, and don’t hit me..."
Shirakawa Sawahei smiled gently, "You just have to give yourself a hickey on your own neck, and I’ll forgive you."
The cute little Ise Yu looked dubious.
