My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess
Chapter 138: Shark Frenzy

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Shark Frenzy

This girl is really cheeky, daring to talk to me like that.

Shirakawa Sawahei silently decided in his heart that at the next birthday party, he’d smear an entire cake on her face to vent his frustration.

Hmm, it should be a sticky cake, preferably one that would make the Slacker Girl have a breakdown in the shower.

Black forest cake seems good; he must remind Hinata Rion to buy the best one.

"By the way, Shirakawa~ why did you suddenly complain to me about gifting girls before?"

"Saw the topic on Twitter."

"Where or when~ um... Shirakawa..." Ise Yu Yuzhijin soon got distracted and started chatting with Shirakawa about the funny memes she saw today.

The two chatted for a while, and it was only when the meal set Ise Yu ordered was delivered that she settled down a bit.

Since there was an exam the next day, neither Shirakawa nor Ise Yu Yuzhijin chose to continue wandering outside. After dinner, Shirakawa sent her home.

"See you tomorrow~" Ise Yu Yuzhijin waved at Shirakawa from the courtyard gate.

Shirakawa waved back and nodded, then walked back to his place.

If it weren’t for the side quest of planning the Slacker Girl’s birthday, today could have been a relatively relaxed day for him. Now, not only had he taken on the birthday task, but he also accidentally triggered a side quest: Pure Love War God’s Fury.

Being drawn into a doujin by a girl, he figured he must be a one-of-a-kind lead role.

This wasn’t something he’d rather know; Shirakawa rubbed his brow, feeling a headache coming on.

The next day’s exam went smoothly; Hayakawa Kashi seemed in much better spirits, perhaps due to getting enough rest, and her mood seemed noticeably better too, with a faint smile hanging on the face of this top student.

Shirakawa pondered for a long time but couldn’t figure out why Hayakawa Kashi’s mood improved. In the end, he had to give up and stop trying to figure it out.

It would take one or two more days for the results to be announced, during which time the Calligraphy Club could finally resume its daily activities. Although the days of students wailing weren’t far off, humans, in the end, are creatures adept at both deceiving themselves and being deceived by others.

"How did you do on this exam?"

"I screwed up! I couldn’t understand the big questions at all. I’ll definitely need to retake it."

"Me too. There’s no way I can keep up with everyone this time. Forgive me, for I must go for extra classes alone."

"Brothers, see you at the retake exam!"

"Brothers, let’s all fail together. Whoever doesn’t fail is a dog."

The failure criteria in Neon vary from Huaxia; in some regions, 40 is considered the passing line, while in others, it’s half of the class’s average score. Passing by and hearing the group discussing their failures, Shirakawa couldn’t help but shake his head.

Study jerks, all of them. Crying and wailing about not having revised before the exam, then crying and wailing about not having performed well afterward, only to be joyfully saying they got lucky once the results are out.

The true gods of study would never resort to such pretentious acts!

Upon arriving at the Calligraphy Club’s activity room, Shirakawa pushed open the door and saw the little girl and Tachibana Tomoku tending flowers by the window.

He was somewhat surprised; Tsukimi Sakurazawa, the club president, was unexpectedly absent.

"Where’s Tsukimi?"

"Seems like she’s off to a meeting, all the club presidents had to go," Asano Nazuki casually explained.

As it happened, Asano Nazuki was more interested in the flowers than in Shirakawa, and after giving a brief explanation, she didn’t pursue further conversation, instead curiously asking questions beside Tachibana Tomoku.

"Tachibana, isn’t there too much soil here?"

"Not at all, it’s just the right amount for aeration, preventing the roots from being exposed."

"Ohhh~" Asano Nazuki responded like a little chick, full of wonder.

In terms of floral arts, the little one had only learned flower arranging. It’s an art for ladies, a basic cultivation subject they must learn. However, compared to flower arranging, actual gardening seems to have more of a nurturing feel.

She asked Tachibana for a few tips on gardening, seemingly deciding to grow a pot of her own flowers.

Shirakawa didn’t disturb them, and perhaps influenced by Tachibana Tomoku’s demeanor, he found the little girl increasingly pleasing to the eye, opened his workbook, and began to focus on advancing in high school studies at level 9.

Even though the exam was over, leveling up was still necessary; otherwise, what’s the point of having a cheat skill?

He didn’t notice the time, only feeling that after tackling numerous big questions, Tsukimi Sakurazawa suddenly returned to the Calligraphy Club’s activity room looking distraught.

"This is bad... really bad..."

Asano Nazuki exclaimed, "What’s wrong?"

"Did something happen with the Calligraphy Club?"

Hearing this, Tachibana Tomoku couldn’t help but clutch the little watering can in her hand tightly and looked at Tsukimi Sakurazawa nervously.

"It’s not our Calligraphy Club that’s in trouble; this time, the whole school is in for it..."

"What’s going on?" Shirakawa asked.

"Someone from a secret inspection team visited our school at some point, observed our study state, and concluded."

"We still have too little homework, we’re too relaxed."

Asano Nazuki: ???

"So, according to the school’s correction requirements, every club’s activity funding is being cut by more than 50%, and large events need to pass multiple approvals!"

"Although, fortunately, our Calligraphy Club already had a joint activity, it looks like the seaside plans for this summer break are doomed."

"Campus discipline will be strictly enforced, and girls with lazy outfits and dyed hair are prime targets."

"Supplemental lessons during summer break are also increasing!"

"The worst off are the third-years; their originally lavish graduation trip to Hokkaido has been reduced from a three-day tour to a one-day sightseeing!"

"Is that inspection person a demon!" Asano Nazuki exclaimed in shock.

Wait, no, why would there suddenly be inspection personnel?

Asano Nazuki thought about it and found the situation a bit suspicious. If there really were an inspection team, she should’ve known.

Oh no, could this be the handiwork of that black-hearted woman!

Asano Nazuki recalled Hayakawa Kashi’s calm demeanor yesterday and couldn’t help shivering.

It’s definitely her!!

In Shirakawa’s mind, the same thought flashed as in the little girl’s.

He finally understood why today’s Scorpio Little Arrogant looked so smug.

The little tiger shark... oh no... Miss Kaori went nuts...

Seeing the top student’s grand scale of revenge, Shirakawa silently entertained a thought.

Never, ever offend a Scorpio.

Especially a Scorpio woman.

Particularly if that woman’s name is Hayakawa Kashi.
