Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Tsukimi Sakurazawa’s Hidden Attribute

Tsukimi Yamadori’s attitude was really too determined, Shirakawa Sawahei had no choice but to grit his teeth and set the nature of this matter down.

"Tsukimi... is actually quite well-mannered, there’s nothing impolite about her."

"You are indeed too forgiving." Tsukimi Yamadori said, "Although we have always taught our daughter strictly, she still has some troublesome points, which we are very aware of."

"No, no, no, she really isn’t troublesome in any other way..."

"Because of our mistakes when she was young, Tsukimi has always had poor sleep quality. If she does anything impolite while staying at your house, please forgive her."

Shirakawa Sawahei was stunned: "Tsukimi slept soundly till morning, and she slept on the sofa."

"You must be joking." Tsukimi Yamadori straightened her body and slowly said, "It’s very difficult for my daughter to fall asleep in unfamiliar surroundings unless there’s something she trusts nearby; otherwise, she could never fall asleep on a sofa."

"I appreciate your concern for my daughter, but you don’t need to say such things to cover for her."

This little whiner really recognizes the bed? Shirakawa Sawahei was clearly a bit confused. This person can sleep in the Calligraphy Club’s activity room, yet her mom says she has hidden talents.

What is this? Is Tsukimi Sakurazawa the kind of person who lacks a sense of security?

"...I don’t think there’s any problem, Tsukimi is a very good friend." Shirakawa Sawahei thought about it and decided to speak some good words for the little whiner.

"You flatter us." Tsukimi Yamadori picked up the cup from the coffee table, took a sip, and said, "In the apology gift I brought today, there’s some good Wuyi Mountain red tea, which was a gift from a friend. If you like tea, you might want to try it in the future."

Hearing this, Shirakawa Sawahei was a bit embarrassed. The tea he served Tsukimi Yamadori was green tea bought from a convenience store, which was quite cheap. The brewing method was also quite casual. It seems Tsukimi Yamadori was not satisfied with drinking it and was afraid that Shirakawa Sawahei would waste a good tea leaf as if it were a tea bag, so she reminded him.

"My daughter is also quite skilled in the art of tea making. If you don’t mind, she can help you make tea. I will inform her to come and apologize."

Shirakawa Sawahei hastily stopped her: "No need for now, I’ll keep it well preserved. If I want to drink it, I’ll definitely ask Tsukimi for help."

One visit from Tsukimi Yamadori was enough for him. If Tsukimi Sakurazawa came in a similar vein, speaking with airs like this, Shirakawa Sawahei just imagined it and felt a little bit of a headache.

However, speaking of which, that little whiner seems to have quite a few hidden skills. What’s this about a tea ceremony girl? Does she really have the temperament suitable for something so refined as the tea ceremony?

The image of a certain long-legged cute girl in his mind seemed to change a bit—from the carefree and easygoing Paramecium Minister to a traditional attire-wearing, sitting amidst the drifting tea fragrance, serene and elegant, with a classical beauty temperament.

This change is too big, is there a twin sister plot twist to fill this hole?

Tsukimi Yamadori nodded at Shirakawa Sawahei and said, "Since that’s the case, I won’t disturb you any longer...it’s late now, I’ll take my leave first."

Shirakawa Sawahei got up to see this friend’s elder off, only for Tsukimi Yamadori to stop his motion, saying, "You’re injured and it’s inconvenient for you to move. No need to see me off far."

She had long noticed the bandaged wound on Shirakawa Sawahei’s shoulder, but never mentioned it, seemingly worried about touching a taboo. Hearing this, Shirakawa Sawahei said, "It’s okay, it’s just a minor injury, I can walk you out."

"There’s really no need for that." Tsukimi Yamadori bowed, "It’s my daughter’s great fortune to have a humble and polite friend like you."

Having said this, Tsukimi Yamadori walked out the door, turned around and gave Shirakawa Sawahei a solemn bow before gracefully walking away.

Watching Tsukimi Yamadori’s figure disappear into the night, Shirakawa Sawahei snapped back to reality and called the long-legged cute girl.

The little whiner, who usually answers the phone immediately, took quite a while today. After getting through, Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t waste words and directly spoke to the little whiner.

"Your mom just visited me."

"???"

A certain long-legged cute girl on the other end of the line was shocked for a long time, her voice trembling a little as she said, "When... did she... go over?"

"She just left." Shirakawa replied, "She said she specially came to apologize to me. Was there some misunderstanding?"

"I feel a bit strange..."

"Yes! It was a misunderstanding!" Tsukimi Sakurazawa suddenly raised her voice, then lowered it and said, "Shirakawa, don’t be mad! Mother is just like that, you can’t believe everything she says... What did you hear?"

Shirakawa Sawahei recalled, "Not much...just that she said for you to make tea for me."

"..."

"Did you agree?"

"No." Shirakawa Sawahei’s tone and expression were full of disdain. This Paramecium, usually so lazy in the activity room, can’t even be bothered to make tea, let alone snacks, and would beg Miss Tachibana for help with opening packages. A total bum, doing nothing but sleeping or talking nonsense, making one feel that her life has no meaning.

The usually lazy and cute minister, suddenly someone says she actually hides many skills? Who could believe that?

Over the phone, Tsukimi Sakurazawa obviously couldn’t see Shirakawa’s disdainful expression. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "That’s good...that’s good...Shirakawa, I’m warning you, you’re not allowed to speak bad of me to my mother!"

"We’re good brothers after all, no backstabbing!"

"I don’t care." Shirakawa complained, "It was your mom who came over herself, okay?"

"I don’t care, you’re not allowed to betray me anyway."

Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t be bothered with her, casually said a few words, and hung up the phone.

After a busy day, he finally had some peace and quiet. He subconsciously wanted to stretch, but the pain from his shoulder made him give up on the idea.

That grand business plan of the Hayakawa family, hinted at in a few casual words by Miss Kaori, already showed its daunting potential. In the future entertainment industry, the Hayakawa name might become a giant presence.

Whether it’s light novel authors, manga artists, idol performers, or voice actor singers, none of them can individually face such a force. "If you can’t beat them, join them" applies to many fields. Shirakawa Sawahei felt that with such abundant resources, it’d be hard for anyone to utter the word "no".

However, although this thing seems powerful, currently it is of no use to Shirakawa Sawahei. He doesn’t aspire to debut as a light novelist, draw manga, or become an idol performer. The Hayakawa family’s all-encompassing resources are quite pointless for him.

Hopefully, Hayakawa Kashi will act soon to clear away any hidden dangers, otherwise, the next time an incident occurs, it might not be solvable with just a bullet graze on the shoulder.

With this thought in mind, Shirakawa Sawahei closed the door, prepared to get things tidy and then get a good night’s sleep.

With a wound on his shoulder, bathing was impossible, so after a simple wash, Shirakawa Sawahei was able to lie on his single bed before eleven.

However, as he was about to close his eyes and sleep, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have left something undone.

For a Virgo, this kind of incomplete feeling is quite displeasing. If he remembered just before sleeping, Shirakawa would have postponed it to tomorrow. But just as he was ending his day, about to sleep, this unpleasant feeling was magnified.

What exactly did I forget? That was the question.
