My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: The Weakest-Class Beauty in History

Even though her heart was filled with jealousy, Azusa Stonefield still forced a smile and replied, "Of course... No problem!"

"Shirakawa is... a really... good person. If I can visit him while he’s sick... I’ll be very happy..."

Azusa’s face was full of the word ’happy’, though her teeth were somewhat clenched, making a slight crunching sound.

The wallflower was delighted by the response, and happily said, "Really?"

"Thank you! Ishihara!"

Ishihara... is truly a good person...

"You’re welcome..."

To get closer to my cute Tachibana, visiting the Great Demon King is nothing! It’s not like I can’t handle it!

"Should we head over now? Or prepare and go tomorrow?"

"Today’s club activities ended early... if you don’t mind, we can go now... is that alright?"

"Sure, should Tachibana bring a gift?"

"I baked some cookies yesterday~ I hope Shirakawa will like them."

Azusa Stonefield: "..."

I’m not envious, not at all envious.

Just like that.jpg

Tachibana, the treasure girl of Yuri Hime, had prepared a gift, but Azusa Stonefield hadn’t prepared anything at all. Although she wanted to give Shirakawa Sawahei a grudge-filled lemon doll, such an act would definitely make Tachibana dislike her, so she had to suppress the impulse.

The two of them didn’t head straight to Shirakawa Sawahei’s house; instead, they visited the school building first, looking for a particular slacker girl, hoping to form a group to visit together.

Unfortunately, Ise Yu got roped into duty.

For reasons Ise Yu naturally didn’t elaborate, she glossed over the topic of duty and sighed, "Actually, I really wanted to visit Shirakawa too... Without him, my life feels out of sync."

"I still have a part-time job to go to later, and no one to join me for oden supper tonight... Sigh..."

Tachibana worriedly said, "Are you okay... Do you need help with the duties?"

"No, no, no, that’s not necessary, I’m almost done... By the way, do you have Shirakawa’s home address?"

"I roughly know the location..." Tachibana mumbled softly, "The director mentioned it before."

"So it’ll take some time to find then?" The cute little Ise Yu enthusiastically sent Tachibana a location map and then solemnly instructed, "If you see Shirakawa, please tell him that I and my alarm clock miss him dearly."

"Oh... okay..."

Tachibana had no desire to comment on Ise Yu’s playful remarks; she nodded seriously and replied, "I’ll tell him."

"See you later~ Bye-bye~"

The slacker girl and Tachibana waved goodbye and returned to the classroom to complete their duties.

If the train hadn’t been a minute late today, how did I end up here? In the end, the train operators should apologize to everyone!

Ise Yu brooded over the morning’s events, and as she lost herself in thought, fewer and fewer people doing duties alongside her remained in the classroom.

"Finally done, see you tomorrow~"

"Yeah, see you tomorrow!"

One by one, her group members bid farewell, and soon, only a couple of people were left in the vast classroom. The slacker girl realized things weren’t looking good, so she quickly bucked up and accelerated her hands and feet.

Can’t be the last one to leave, that would be too lonely.

Didn’t the Minister Genkou say they would help me? Did they flake after all!

Finally, after a girl said goodbye and left, the classroom was left with only Ise Yu and another guy who had barely said a word.

The slacker girl sighed inwardly, starting to resent her procrastination problem for the first time.

If only Shirakawa were here~

While she was lost in thought, the usually silent guy hesitated near the blackboard for a long time before finally scratching his head and walking over.

"Um... Ise Yu?"

"Eh?"

Suddenly being spoken to surprised the slacker girl, and the guy blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Ah? What question."

The guy hesitated for a moment, then gathered his courage: "Are Ise Yu and Shirakawa dating?"

"???"

"No, that’s just a rumor! Where did that come from!"

"Not... not a rumor... just something some of us assumed... so you’re really not dating Shirakawa?"

"Definitely not."

"Then... could you date me!"

"???"

The sudden confession left Ise Yu stunned.

What is this guy talking about? I don’t even know your name!

The guy apparently didn’t realize she had barely noticed him, recalling, "Since entering school, I noticed Ise Yu because you were always energetic, and once I got to know you, I found Ise Yu to be a kind person..."

"Stop, wait a minute." Ise Yu interrupted his puzzling narrative, "Kind, really... do you know me well?"

"Don’t just use some online template, kid!" Ise Yu teased, "Put a little thought into character development!"

"What? Doesn’t Ise Yu think she’s kind?" The guy was baffled by such a straightforward comment from a girl.

Praised for being kind, yet she’s not pleased!?

Is it Ise Yu, or is my confession template flawed?

The template can’t be wrong, this is classic harem anime-style! The protagonists do it this way!

"No, no... it’s just I met someone extremely biased, and my understanding of ’kindness’ grew deeper."

Ha, guys, if I were as kind as you say, I’d at least be on par with Tachibana, alright? Then I wouldn’t have had my cheeks pinched by Shirakawa so often.

"So... could you date me, Ise Yu?"

"I’m sorry, but no." Ise Yu regretfully said, "I haven’t found someone I have feelings for yet, so... I’m sorry."

The guy nodded, disheartened, "I see..."

Seeing him like that, the slacker girl also felt a bit awkward, but she didn’t voice any comforting words. Confessions are tricky; they’re great when successful, but both parties feel awkward when things don’t work out.

Instead of using vague statements that won’t let someone give up, it’s better to refuse directly and let them move on sooner.

"So... so it’s because of Shirakawa then..." The guy finally said after a pause, lifting his head with a wry smile, "Someone had warned me, saying Ise Yu and Shirakawa were really close... having someone that amazing nearby, it must be hard not to fall for them..."

"But, I don’t regret it; there are some classmates who like Ise Yu too, and compared to them, I’m probably braver."

"Thank you! Ise Yu, I’ll gather my spirit and find someone else to like!"

"Uh? Others like me too?" The cute little Ise Yu asked cautiously, "Can you tell me their names so I can be on guard?"

"??? If I said that, they’d kill me." The guy said, terrified.

"Oh... what a pity..."

"But actually, you don’t need to worry, Ise Yu." The guy continued, "They used to like you, but after seeing how close you were to Shirakawa, they gave up seeing no chance..."

"I was the only one determined to confess... but now, it’s true that Asano has higher popularity..."

"..."

Oh dear, my class belle era, ended before it even began, brief as a mayfly.

No, a mayfly can at least fly for a day, while my time with Asano was mere seconds from introduction!

The shortest class belle tenure ever! Ise Yu was quite irked by the title. After the guy left, she asked the tardy Light Music Department Director Aoki Motoka.

"Director... who do you think... is cuter, me or Asano?"
