"It’s not about my love life, why are you all reacting ?" Shirakawa Sawahei said strangely.
Asano Nazuki and Azusa Stonefield both let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, thank goodness, I thought this pretty boy was secretly flirting with the heartless woman behind my back. Come to think of it, even if you gave him two nerves of steel, he wouldn’t dare to pull off such a bold move.
Azusa Stonefield, still somewhat shaken, glanced at Tachibana Tomoku, thinking how fortunate it was that the god is on her side; otherwise, she really couldn’t guarantee she could protect Tachibana from Demon King Shirakawa.
Tsukimi Sakurazawa, satisfied with what she heard, said, "I knew it, Shirakawa, you wouldn’t ditch a good bro to find a girlfriend on your own~"
"Why do you seem so happy about my being single?" Shirakawa Sawahei replied helplessly.
"Of course! It’s not hard to be single alone. What’s hard is when everyone you know has someone, and you’re the only one left single!"
"Alright, spill it. Who’s got such clout to convince our Mr. Shirakawa to help out~"
"Exactly!" Azusa Stonefield quickly said, "Shirakawa, just tell us. We’re all here to help you!"
You’re the last person qualified to say such things! Shirakawa Sawahei silently snarked to himself.
If it weren’t for Yuri Hime’s inexplicable antics, I wouldn’t have been drawn into Ishida Koji’s romantic ordeal.
Shirakawa Sawahei briefly recounted Ishida Koji’s experience to everyone, and after hearing the whole story, Tsukimi Sakurazawa couldn’t help but blurt out.
"Shirakawa, the person you’re describing, do they even have emotional intelligence?"
"Let alone emotional intelligence, it’s more like zero survival instinct." Yuri Hime and Azusa Stonefield also obviously couldn’t fathom Ishida Koji’s actions.
If I could be with Tachibana, starting a citron-flavored romance, I’d surely be doting on her, clinging to her every day.
Giving up being with the person you like to become a delinquent? What kind of twisted logic is that; is that guy an idiot or what?
But the fact that Shirakawa Sawahei can be friends with someone like that certainly befits his Demon King essence.
The sly Asano Nazuki suddenly said, "Just make it so he can’t be a delinquent again, won’t that solve it."
After saying that, Asano Nazuki seemed to feel it didn’t quite match her cute Little Angel image, so she hastily added, "Delinquents... sound like a scary bunch..."
Tsukimi Sakurazawa’s thoughts were indeed drawn to her subsequent words: "Exactly, our class seems to have two delinquents like that, always late and leaving early."
Hmm? If I remember correctly, the delinquents in Tsukimi Sakurazawa’s class are those two clowns, Imamura Takuya and Aoki Yoosuke?
Can the word ’scary’ really apply to just those two? The style doesn’t quite fit!
"The issue now doesn’t seem to be about the delinquents anymore." Shirakawa Sawahei knocked on the table, "As girls, do you think it’s possible to get that girlfriend to come around?"
"Gifts, perhaps. It’s the simplest and most effective way to apologize." Tsukimi Sakurazawa hinted with a wink, "If one day you make me mad, Shirakawa, just give me a big gift and I’ll forgive you without hesitation."
"Let’s just skip that, I won’t give you a chance to get mad," Shirakawa Sawahei said mercilessly.
"How mean! We’re breaking up for a minute!" Tsukimi Sakurazawa playfully punched Shirakawa Sawahei’s shoulder in frustration.
"What Tsukimi said makes some sense though." Azusa Stonefield nodded in agreement, "That guy doesn’t seem like a talker, if he’s inarticulate then he’ll have to use sincere actions to express himself."
"I actually think you could break through starting with that girlfriend’s bestie." Asano Nazuki’s eyes glimmered a bit, "Sometimes a roundabout approach is more efficient than direct contact."
Shirakawa Sawahei pondered for a moment, thinking this idea seemed quite reliable.
Indeed, high-level dark schemers always manage to find the key point in an instant for such matters.
He sent a line to the tough-as-iron Ishida Koji.
[Does Yamei have a bestie? Can you find her and talk to her?]
Ishida Koji quickly replied.
Shirakawa Sawahei’s spirits lifted, and Ishida Koji’s second message arrived.
[But I forgot what her bestie looks like... I only remember she has long hair!]
[Ai Peng! Is this information useful?]
Are you treating this like providing a suspect’s portrait features or what? And questioning the usefulness of the info!
It’s hopeless, just wait for death.
Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, put his phone away, and said, "Let’s think of some other ideas."
"If he can’t even remember his girlfriend’s bestie’s face, does he really have the mindset to date?" hearing Shirakawa Sawahei’s words, Azusa Stonefield couldn’t help but mock.
Shirakawa Sawahei was taken aback; also being a straightforward guy, he truly didn’t grasp the importance of a girlfriend’s bestie in one’s life.
Apart from helping introduce the girlfriend when she’s mad, do besties have any other uses as utility people?
No one present answered Shirakawa Sawahei’s confusion, so he restrained his urge to ask about it.
After brainstorming for quite some time, everyone eventually resigned to the fact that gifting was the only viable survival option for that straightforward guy.
Other advanced options, on one hand, were beyond Ishida Koji’s capability; on the other, Shirakawa Sawahei worried he might create a bigger mess by trying something clever.
However, the core problem still lay with the delinquent aspect; without resolving that, gifts could only cover up the problem temporarily.
It’s like the decay beneath a bustling surface; eventually, it will show when time is up.
Shirakawa Sawahei wasn’t planning on letting this problem be solved by the girls in the Calligraphy Club. As club time ended, he packed his things, stood up, and said, "Thanks, everyone, for today."
"Oh, it’s nothing, as long as we can help out Shirakawa."
"If you truly feel that way, Shirakawa, why don’t you treat me to sweets after school~ Then I’ll make you some cookies~"
"As far as I know, you can’t even bake cookies." Shirakawa Sawahei replied bluntly.
He couldn’t be bothered with the Paramecium Minister who lacked any ladylike restraint, so he turned to Tachibana Tomoku and said,
"Tachibana, if you can, let’s meet at the plaza on Shinbara Street this weekend?"
Throughout the preceding discussion, Tachibana Tomoku had been quietly listening, rarely chiming in, and now when Shirakawa Sawahei suddenly asked, she couldn’t help but feel a little flustered.
Shirakawa Sawahei walked away satisfied.
The activity room’s three girls immediately fell into a dazed state again.
Azusa Stonefield: ???
It feels like there’s a light shining on my head! Did anyone see that! There’s some type of special glow on my head!
I’m doomed! My treasured girl is about to be captured by the Demon King! Wuwuwuwu...
Tsukimi Sakurazawa was more straightforward, holding Tachibana Tomoku’s little hand, she asked softly.
"Hey, Xiao Mo... are you being coerced by Shirakawa..."
"I’m telling you, Shirakawa’s behavior is actually illegal, if he truly dares to do this, you can’t allow him to go down a criminal path..."
