My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess
Chapter 118: Hot Spring Benefits!

Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t even turn his head: "Put away your phone before you say something like that."

Busted, Ise Yu Yuzhijin stomped her foot in embarrassment: "I wasn’t going to record with my phone! I was just checking the time!"

"Oh, so you were really planning to use your phone."

"..."

The girls from the Kaori Guard Team all covered their faces, sighing at how innocent Orikin still was, clearly no match for Shirakawa Sawahei.

They decided to join in personally.

"Shirakawa can play the piano so well, he can’t be that bad at singing, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, we were all super impressed during the cultural festival. We never heard you could play piano, Shirakawa!"

"I only played that one song."

Shirakawa Sawahei buried his head in changing the song, not continuing with the topic. When he stood up and left the song selection booth, the lyrics for "Love Circulation" had already popped up on the screen.

Come on, I refuse to believe that under the pressure of such a pink song, you two can still hold onto the mic.

However, after seeing the song Shirakawa Sawahei chose, Imamura Takuya and Aoki Yoosuke held the microphone in silence.

For some reason, facing this silence, Shirakawa Sawahei vaguely sensed a bit of unease...

...

"Ah~ I’m gonna die..."

On the way back, Ise Yu Yuzhijin covered her face and couldn’t stop complaining: "Shirakawa, why did you pick a girly song for them? They were just off-key at first, but now it’s pure torture because of you..."

"Didn’t you see how Fukumi-chan and Mano’s expressions changed?"

"...Sorry."

Shirakawa Sawahei’s apology was sincerely given.

He really hadn’t expected their self-awareness to be so scarce. He thought a girly song would make them give the mic to the girls, but somehow, they interpreted it as encouragement.

Imamura Takuya: Brother Shirakawa gives us such girly songs... must be a hint for us to be gentle people! Such painstaking care...

Aoki Yoosuke: Yasashii is such an invincible quality, it’s standard for a lead character... Can we really manage it?

Imamura Takuya: We can!

Imamura Takuya (clenching his fist): As long as we have Brother Shirakawa’s support, we definitely can! Ajie, go on!

Aoki Yoosuke (with tears brimming): Mm! A Long, go on!

So, Shirakawa Sawahei and the girls were left sitting in the room, dumbfounded, as they listened to a Teng Ge’er’s style rendition of "Love Circulation"...

Even Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s chosen "I Want to Become Cute" wasn’t spared from the disaster.

A real "Kana would want to hit someone" series.

"I feel like I’m going to have a shadow over songs I like..."

"..."

Shirakawa Sawahei awkwardly didn’t reply, walking up to Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s door, where the girl finally waved her hand and bounced away to prepare to go home.

"Ise Yu."

"Eh?"

"You’re really not going to the summer retreat?"

"Absolutely not going!"

Ise Yu Yuzhijin replied resolutely, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but didn’t because of hesitation.

"Shirakawa... take care..."

Shirakawa Sawahei: ???

Why do I feel like Ise seems to be hiding something from me? Could this summer retreat... be some kind of trap?

But I haven’t offended anyone lately?

With this thought in mind, Shirakawa Sawahei anxiously sent Miss Kaori a message on Line.

[I haven’t pissed you off recently, have I?]

The Scorpio little arrogant replied coldly with a: [ ? ]

Then sent a link address.

Shirakawa Sawahei hesitated, clicked on it, only to find it was a psychiatric hospital’s contact website, and his face darkened a bit.

[Thanks for the concern.]

[You’re welcome, it’s expected.]

On the other end of the screen, Hayakawa Kashi slightly curled her lips, as if she could already see Shirakawa Sawahei’s darkened face.

"Miss Kaori, regarding Miss Xiaoz Kaori’s situation, there’s a matter to report."

"What is it?"

"Miss Xiaoz Kaori informed security that she won’t need them to follow her this weekend."

"Where is she going?"

"A resort, about three kilometers away from the security forces."

"That’s not running off, then," Hayakawa Kashi murmured lightly, "Do you think even on Hayakawa territory, someone would dare to cause trouble?"

"Certainly not." The female secretary adjusted her glasses: "But according to our investigation... the resort has some... unique features..."

After listening to the secretary’s report, Hayakawa Kashi’s already good mood seemed to improve even more.

"It’s fine."

"If it’s Xiaoz Kaori, it’ll definitely be fine..."

The secretary nodded and turned to leave, but secretly harbored concerns in her heart.

Is such a look, treating her sister like a fun toy, really what a good sister should do?

Miss Xiaoz Kaori, I’m sorry... I’ve let down your angelic smile... In this life, I’m sure to end up in hell...

The little loli remained completely oblivious to how her sister had once again tricked her. At that moment, she was standing on the roadside wearing a big sunhat, waiting for a ride with Shirakawa Sawahei and others.

The today’s personal outfits of all three were quite distinctive, Tachibana Tomoku, as usual, wore the adorable forest style, her light green ensemble brimming with a summer feel.

As for Tsukimi Sakurazawa, there’s no need to say more; no matter what style, on her, there’s always just one style, and that’s seductive.

A woman who can make a pure white lace dress look sexy is surely blacklisted in clothing stores.

Go away, you’re not welcome here, pure dresses don’t belong to you!

Compared to Tsukimi Sakurazawa, the little loli’s vibe was noticeably different, with her big sunhat and petite frame giving off an oddly mismatched feel, like she was out on a picnic with adults.

If Asano Nazuki could know what was in Shirakawa Sawahei’s mind, she would immediately jump up and take his life.

Screw the picnic! These are masterfully designed summer fashions, if you can’t understand it, then don’t spew nonsense!

To be honest, Ise Yu Yuzhijin seems to have the best fashion sense out of all the girls. At least, throughout their interactions, every time Shirakawa Sawahei saw her outfits, they were always refreshing.

Shirakawa Sawahei had once investigated and found that fellow illustrators Hinata Rion and Dubian Ichiro also had great outfit-picking skills.

This discovery left him puzzled. You illustrators, no matter how nice the clothes look, don’t they end up coming off in the end?

Some clothes even need to be torn...

"Shirakawa, what are you spacing out about?"

Shirakawa Sawahei snapped out of his daze when he heard this. Tsukimi Sakurazawa was leaning in, staring into his eyes intently.

"You were staring at Xiao Mo’s and my dress for quite a while just now..."

"...Is this staring-at-girls’-dresses persona going to stick with me forever?"

"No problem, Shirakawa, I heard this resort has hot springs."

The busty woman whispered further, "If you expose yourself too early, you won’t be able to pretend to enter the wrong bath later for a lucky perv incident~"

"...Not going to happen."

"Why give up so soon~ Hold on a little longer."

Shirakawa Sawahei gave Tsukimi Sakurazawa a disdainful look.

What era is this, still playing the enter-the-wrong-bath cliché?

Does she think academic elites don’t watch new-age harem anime?
