Chapter 135: Chapter 135: No One Understands Ise Yu Orikin Better Than Me

"Manager, I’m sorry, but I really can’t do that."

"Huh? Why not, Mr. Shirakawa? We had such high hopes for you!"

"It’s not that I can’t help; it’s just that thinking from a boyfriend’s perspective, it’s really impossible."

Hinata Rion looked even more horrified: "You mean, Mr. Shirakawa, you actually swing that way..."

"No need to doubt this." Shirakawa Sawahei quipped with a straight face: "I’m very clear about who I am."

"Then why are you so reluctant to be Jin’s boyfriend?"

"I wouldn’t say it’s to the level of reluctance..."

"Mr. Shirakawa, could it be that you already have a girlfriend?" Koyama Haruko, maintaining her Yamato Nadeshiko persona, chimed in from the side.

"That’s very likely! Shirakawa Leader, what kind of person is your girlfriend? Is she cute?"

"Come on, Shirakawa Leader, share with us!"

"Ah, I see, that explains it. Although Jin’s personality and hobbies are a bit unusual, in terms of looks, she’s definitely a standard beauty..."

Wait a second, why did you all just instantly accept the idea that I have a girlfriend? Can’t I just simply find the slacker girl annoying?

"Let’s talk about the birthday surprise instead," Shirakawa Sawahei sighed. "What ideas did you have before?"

Hinata Rion tiptoed over in her heels, clacking as she ran up to whisper in his ear.

After listening to the Minotaur Store Manager’s birthday surprise, Shirakawa Sawahei’s expression immediately changed.

What kind of surprise is that! It’s pure shock, okay! Who starts a surprise with a tailing event?

This is outright criminal behavior. Ise Yu’s paranoia will definitely drum up all sorts of scenario fantasies, and then what will you do when she cries?

A Minotaur’s way of thinking really is different from normal people.

Shirakawa Sawahei flatly rejected this proposal: "Please think of some birthday surprise activities that wouldn’t freak out a normal high school girl."

Hinata Rion pouted, "Everything else feels so ordinary, no originality at all."

"That’s fine, something ordinary would be perfect, Ise Yu would be crying and begging you for that."

"Hey, Mr. Shirakawa, what if we pretend to forget Jin’s birthday, secretly put the gifts in her room, and then sneak into her room..."

Shirakawa Sawahei interrupted Hinata Rion’s description: "First, tell me how we’re sneaking into Ise Yu’s room."

"That’s easy, I know Jin’s parents, and I have their house keys." Hinata Rion said, producing a set of keys triumphantly. "How about that, isn’t this plan flawless?"

"Can’t we avoid words like: ’sneaking’ or ’tailing’ in our plan?" Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, "When it gets shut down, don’t say I didn’t warn you."

"Ah, the sneaking into high school girls series, my ex-boyfriend seemed to have watched that." A maid in the store suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? Ex-boyfriend? Birdy-chan, you actually had an ex-boyfriend?"

"I’m already 24; is it strange to have dated? Rather, isn’t it more unusual at this age not to have dated anyone? It’s probably due to a lack of feminine charm~"

"Exactly right, when I was in high school, the concept of feminine charm was quite popular too..."

Seeing the topic drifting, Shirakawa Sawahei quickly steered it back: "Before discussing the form of the surprise, have you all prepared Ise Yu’s gift?"

"Hai! Mine is a conch wind chime! A souvenir I brought back from a trip!"

"As for mine, it’s this, a temple stamp! I’ve heard it’s for love, supposedly very effective."

"I..."

The maids started chattering about their gifts, looking as if they usually got along well with the slacker girl and weren’t just pretending for the manager’s sake.

Chief Barista Koyama Haruko flipped some of her side hair, saying: "As for what a high school girl might like, I really feel I’ve aged out; I might have to ask my family."

Shirakawa Sawahei turned his gaze to the relatively wealthy Hinata Rion.

"Heh heh, my gift is something that’ll make everyone’s eyes light up!"

The burgundy-haired shop owner ran to the other end of the table, dramatically pulling off a black cloth!

"Wow~"

"So exquisite..."

"Manager~ how did you manage to buy this..."

The girls immediately gasped softly and crowded around the mysterious gift.

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

The thing that makes everyone’s eyes light up is... an R18 figure?

If Shirakawa Sawahei existed in an animation, this segment would definitely be a censored scene.

Too vulgar! Can you even call what’s on that figure clothing? It’s just string, okay! And you girls are getting so excited, touching it all over...

Got it, boys like pretty girls, girls like pretty girls too, so pretty girls are a third species of humans.

Shirakawa Sawahei hesitated and pointed at the figure on the table, asking, "You’re giving this to Ise Yu... What if her parents find it?"

They might throw a gas tank at you... Oh, right, Neon doesn’t usually use gas tanks, my mistake.

"No worries," Hinata Rion waved it off. "Jin has a special spot for figures and posters like this, just like a hamster hoarding things. I’ll take you to see it later."

(Ise Yu Yuzhijin: Backstab damage +10000...)

"Hmm? Mr. Shirakawa, after asking us so much about our gifts, have you prepared yours?"

Shirakawa Sawahei replied calmly, "Not yet."

"But soon."

"Nani? Mr. Shirakawa, aren’t you a bit too cocky! I’ve been thinking about gifts for days as her childhood friend big sister, and you think you know Jin better than I do?"

"If you just plan to give a perfunctory present, I won’t forgive you."

"Shirakawa Leader is so close to Orikin-chan, often sharing oden together, there’s no escape for you!"

Thus, Shirakawa Sawahei took out his phone right under everyone’s watchful eyes.

[Girls nowadays are such a hassle, you can’t buy a perfect gift without spending a ton of money.]

Sent to contact Ise Yu Yuzhijin.

Within seconds, Ise Yu Yuzhijin angrily responded: [Shirakawa-kun, that’s too much, who says girls are troublesome, and why do good gifts have to be expensive! Recently, there’s a new store with beautifully designed wristbands, just hard to get! Plus... ]

Shirakawa Sawahei calmly showed his phone screen to everyone: "Problem solved, I still have plenty of options."

"Anyone else want to try?"

Hinata Rion was stunned, muttering: "This is cheating, Mr. Shirakawa... it must be cheating!"

"Manager... it seems Shirakawa Leader really understands Orikin-chan better than you..." the maid lamented painfully.

"Feels like Orikin-chan is being played by Shirakawa Leader... so scary..."
