Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Doing Whatever One Wants

Hayakawa Kashi would never allow herself to be someone who drags others down, even though most people couldn’t tell. As long as she knew, she couldn’t accept it.

"I’m stating a fact; in this aspect, I’m indeed not as good as her." Little Arrogant Study Girl pursed her lips tightly, a hint of scrutiny appearing between her brows: "You don’t believe what I’m saying?"

"I do believe you. But even so, I still think Hayakawa is the best choice."

"Why?"

"Maybe... because Asano and I are just not compatible?" Shirakawa Sawahei sighed and said, "You can’t just pair up two people who almost got into a fight for a duet, can you?"

Hayakawa Kashi was silent for a moment, then looked up and softly said, "In that case, I’ll resolve it."

"Wait a minute."

He stopped the Miss Kaori who was about to leave. With his understanding of this girl, he knew exactly what she meant by resolving it.

She didn’t want to be the one dragging behind, so she probably intended to reach level 5 through sheer practice soon. But she wasn’t Shirakawa Sawahei; without hanging in there, breaking through to level 5 would rely on a burst of inspiration and a miracle to accomplish within this timeframe.

Hayakawa Kashi’s piano talent, while top-notch, wasn’t quite as good as Asano Nazuki’s, and she was well aware of this. So after reaching level 4, she was unwilling to invest more time and effort into it. If Miss Kaori wasted considerable time without achieving her goal, Shirakawa Sawahei would feel quite guilty towards this Little Arrogant Study Girl.

"Although I think playing with you at that level is already enough, since you’re a perfectionist, Hayakawa, I won’t try to persuade you... Want me to practice with you?"

"We can also work on our coordination."

After getting Hayakawa Kashi involved, it wouldn’t be right to let her put in time and effort silently by herself.

Miss Kaori turned her head with interest, "Aren’t you afraid of strange rumors spreading again, Shirakawa?"

"If you’re not afraid, why should I be?"

"I’m not afraid; I’m just worried the rumor spreaders might regret it later." She said lightly, "In that case, I’ll arrange a place near your home as our training venue."

"What about at school?"

"If you want, you can skip a class in the afternoon and come over."

"...Hayakawa, can’t you talk about skipping class as if it’s no big deal?"

"Oh, then how about you ask for leave in the afternoon and come over?"

With a change of wording, it seemed more acceptable. Shirakawa Sawahei nodded, "I’ll be waiting for you here then."

"No need, let’s switch to the music room." Little Arrogant said expressionlessly, "Unless you want to be watched by an audience again."

"???"

Music teacher on the side: !!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ

...

When leaving, Hayakawa Kashi called out to Shirakawa Sawahei to invite him to witness a little lolita’s apprenticeship scene. She also used him as a tool for tactical intimidation against Master George Slater.

Academically speaking, this was called free-riding. But he didn’t mind; after all, everyone was free-riding back and forth, and Miss Kaori was more or less used to it, so he couldn’t be petty.

Speaking of which, this guy was quite unlucky. He didn’t manage to take Shirakawa Sawahei as a disciple, and almost ended up being a fellow disciple with a high school student. After some twists and turns, he ended up taking the little lolita as a student, and this time it was finally settled, just waiting for him to see the girl’s talent and officially accept her as a student.

But who could have predicted that on the very night of Hayakawa Kashi’s assassination attempt, Master Slater was left bewildered waiting for the little lolita, only to learn the news later and almost broke into a cold sweat.

If Hayakawa Kashi dies, who am I going to take on as a disciple! The Hayakawa family free-riding for so long had already consumed much of my fame! If I returned to Europe with my tail between my legs, who knows how long I’d be laughed at by those old geezers!

So, during Miss Kaori’s recuperation days, George Slater was quite supportive with many consoling words, not mentioning anything about accepting a student. Once she was mostly recovered, he had his nephew pass on his intention tactfully.

The other party showed humility, and the Hayakawa family didn’t act overbearing, immediately arranging the itinerary for him.

Since tomorrow’s performance time was set for the evening, there was no shift at the Maid Cafe, saving the trouble of asking for leave. Shirakawa Sawahei pondered as he walked, thinking about what stance to adopt when facing the little lolita tomorrow.

After all, that little girl would definitely show her true colors once outside the school, and if they ended up arguing at her home, he might suffer losses.

One wrong move could be a physiological death. Unless he could win over Hayakawa Kashi, going over there would mean entering Black Hearted Lolita’s territory.

Truly doing whatever one wants.

He returned to the class, picked up his bag, and prepared to attend the club activity. But his classmates were all watching him with strange expressions, which left him bewildered.

What are you all looking at, never seen a god of learning skip... take leave?

This continued all the way, the sophomore and junior students excitedly covering their mouths on seeing him, making one wonder if these people saw some idol singer.

Shirakawa Sawahei walked to the Calligraphy Club with a peculiar expression, only to find the four girls inside seated together, posing as if for an interrogation.

Tachibana Tomoku’s eyes were still confused, clearly not understanding what they were doing, while Azusa Stonefield was just there for fun.

The main forces present were just the Whining Maiden and Black Hearted Lolita. As Shirakawa Sawahei entered, Tsukimi Sakurazawa lightly coughed, lowering her voice: "Little Bai... close the door, I have something... ouch! Shirakawa, why did you hit me?"

"Who told you to act all mysterious for no reason?"

Shirakawa Sawahei put down his bag, sat down, and asked, "What’s going on outside? Why is everyone looking at me so strangely?"

"Don’t get it wrong, Shirakawa, that’s the look of single dogs at couple dogs." Azusa Stonefield explained with a smile. To say nothing more, she might be the most supportive of Shirakawa Sawahei and Hayakawa Kashi being together in that group.

"Couple dogs?" He paused for a second, remembering what Hayakawa Kashi said earlier and frowned, "Did someone really eavesdrop?"

"Aha! Shirakawa, you’ve admitted it! When did you get involved with Hayakawa?"

"I didn’t."

"The evidence is conclusive, yet you still want to quibble!"

"President, calm down, maybe Shirakawa has a bad memory and forgot to tell us about dating." Black Hearted Lolita fanned the flames from the side.

"It’s just for participating in a competition that we’re practicing piano together."

"Tch, who would believe such a ghost story? Raise your hand if you believe Shirakawa! Xiao Mo, you are not allowed to vote."

Tachibana Tomoku was stunned, silently lowering her small hand that she was about to raise...

Shirakawa Sawahei’s face darkened at this democratic voting operation, and he said helplessly, "It’s not that I’m not warning you, if you keep gossiping like this, forget about the club activity budget, all the students in the school might have to shrink the activity room to capsule hotel size."

Hayakawa Kashi is much more ruthless and cruel than I am. If you remain obstinately persistent, don’t blame me for not stopping her.
