Chapter 123: Chapter 123: The Genius’ Revenge Mind Battle!

When Shirakawa Sawahei woke up the next day, he suddenly realized that his breathing was somewhat impeded.

Opening his eyes, he saw that the little girl had somehow climbed onto him, sleeping on his chest. Her tiny arms and legs were all tangled around him, making it a bit hard for him to breathe.

Asano Nazuki, who was deeply asleep, had lost her usual annoying vibe, and in Shirakawa Sawahei’s eyes, she looked inexplicably pleasant. Her brow and eyes were gentle, her slightly baby-fat cheeks adorned with a sweet smile. She looked just like a cute porcelain doll.

This doll’s long hair was gracefully spread behind her head, with some mischievous strands tickling Shirakawa Sawahei’s neck. He wanted to reach out and brush away the little girl’s hair, but found his hands restrained by an inexplicably soft force.

What the heck!

This feeling...!

This legendary feeling...!

Masaka!

Shirakawa Sawahei instantly froze, carefully turning his head, only to find Tachibana Tomoku holding his left hand in sleep.

Given the rather special position, plus the fact that everyone was wearing pajamas to bed...

Ssss~

Shirakawa Sawahei sucked in a cold breath, faintly feeling as if he was tiptoeing towards the edge of 404.

With this realization, he turned his head in another direction and found that his guess was indeed correct.

If Tachibana Tomoku was already testing the boundaries of 404 on one side, then Tsukimi Sakurazawa on the other side was practically dancing on the line of 404 with a coffin.

This is outrageous. I only fell asleep for a little while, how did it come to this?

Shirakawa Sawahei decided that, no matter what, he would play dead. Unless someone poured chili water on him, he was not waking up first.

No matter what, he had to first secure his image as a victim before considering anything else.

Acting skill lv2, activate!

The acting skills he had honed over time by reading and practicing seemed to be coming in handy. He calmly adjusted his breathing and patiently waited for the girls to wake up.

As expected, the first to wake would be the little girl on top of him. She had slept on him all night after the air conditioning was turned off; surely she would be the first to awaken from the heat.

However, it was either because Shirakawa Sawahei underestimated the little girl’s resistance to heat, or because Tachibana Tomoku’s biological clock woke up earlier. The one who woke up first was actually his Little Invisible Study Girl.

Waking up, Tachibana Tomoku first looked around bewildered, and sat up.

A strand of hair naturally stuck up.

Then, she took in the entire room’s scene.

The Beautiful Girl Minister in a loose bathrobe and the cute little girl lying on Shirakawa Sawahei’s chest...

Tachibana Tomoku froze adorably for a while, only to finally realize, with a delay, that this wasn’t a dream.

Last night... I came to Shirakawa Sawahei’s room with the Minister to seek air conditioning...

I also left a note for Asano...

Which means...

The Little Invisible Study Girl quickly covered her mouth, trying not to make any sound, then her face turned rosy red as she removed Shirakawa Sawahei’s hand and got up to flee.

With a bang, Shirakawa Sawahei’s hand hit the tatami due to Tachibana Tomoku’s frantic movements. This startled Tachibana, and she turned to gently pat Shirakawa Sawahei’s hand as a symbolic gesture of comfort before she fled again.

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

Not getting to see the cute expression of the fleeing Little Invisible is a bit of a pity. But thankfully, one hurdle was cleared, and the remaining two should wake up soon too.

As expected, the little girl on his chest woke up quietly.

The groggy little girl groped around, seemingly looking for something. After fumbling for a bit, she finally discovered the air conditioner remote on Shirakawa Sawahei’s left side.

With the air conditioner making a beeping sound as it restarted, the little girl laid back down contently, ready to continue sleeping her morning away.

This is comfort... This is life...

As three seconds passed quietly, Asano Nazuki suddenly opened her eyes fully awake.

What the hell, this pretty face dared to touch Lord Kaori me...

Asano’s first reaction was to give this pretty face a punch on the pervert’s head.

Eh, wait a minute, last night it was me who wanted to sleep hugging him... oh, okay, that’s fine then...

Remembering the thrills and unease of last night, Asano couldn’t suppress her hidden menacing vibe. Especially thinking that this pretty face might be secretly laughing at her behind her back added to her anger.

She sat up and snorted coldly, then did something Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t anticipate at all.

She lay back down to sleep...

Slept back down...

Back down...

Down...

Shirakawa Sawahei: mmp

After the initial shock, he quickly realized the little girl’s plan, she wanted to compete with him to see who could act more like a victim.

She wants to wait for me to get up first and then act pitiable to climb the moral high ground!

If a little girl pulled that off and slapped him awake, Shirakawa Sawahei would have no excuse but to swallow that loss.

What a deep cunning, is this the genius revenge strategy?

Shirakawa Sawahei coldly laughed inwardly and then closed his eyes as well, unwilling to be the man who wakes up first and gets face-slapped.

The rightful protagonist! Never concede!

The fierce showdown between the two continued uninterrupted, and after Tsukimi Sakurazawa woke up, she got up calmly and dressed, even thinking of waking up Shirakawa Sawahei and Asano Nazuki. But she was stopped by Tachibana Tomoku waiting nearby.

"Minister, if you wake them like that, Asano will feel really embarrassed... better to pretend not to know, and let them sort it out themselves."

"Eh... that seems right. Xiao Mo, you’re so gentle~ If you were the main character, you might already have a harem by now."

"That’s not true at all..."

Tsukimi Sakurazawa agreed readily, taking Jiya Sashi’s suggestion and left this battlefield full of gunpowder scent.

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

Asano Nazuki: "..."

Orange, although being well-behaved and sensible is part of your character, this time you may have overdone it.

Since no outside force would break this standoff, I’ll have to rely on myself.

Shirakawa Sawahei pretended to turn over, dropping the little girl with a thud onto the tatami.

Asano Nazuki was a bit dumbfounded by the toss.

However, she wasn’t one to easily contend with Shirakawa Sawahei the protagonist; a brief shock later, she responded by clinging to his waist, preventing further flipping moves to achieve a person-pillow separation.

But as a result, the little girl’s petite and cute frame ended up curling in Shirakawa Sawahei’s embrace, resembling a couple locked in a love-struck sleep.

Lady Kaori, never concede!

The abruptly attacked little girl wasn’t idle either, she extended her white slender leg, feigning a sleeping turn, placing it on Shirakawa Sawahei’s waist. Coupled with her hands, she seemed to be intent on locking him in.

If still to use an explanatory term to describe it, it’s undoubtedly Brother locks up He Jinyin!

Shirakawa Sawahei’s face stiffened, calmly pondering workable strategies.

The two remained deadlocked, exchanging endless moves, each neutralized by the other.

The situation seemed to reach a stalemate.

After breakfast, Tsukimi Sakurazawa, interestedly guessed who would arise first between Shirakawa Sawahei and the little girl.

"Fifty-fifty I guess, I think Shirakawa is more steadfast, Kaori might get countered."

Tachibana Tomoku watched the wall with concern, appearing worried about whether "those two on the other side" might end up fighting.

Until nearing lunchtime, Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t endure the urge to urinate any longer, conceding defeat first.

While Asano Nazuki, too famished to slap Shirakawa Sawahei, quietly got up, ending this smoke-free battle.

Today’s match, was a draw.
