Chapter 189: Chapter 189: There’s Such a Good Thing?
Shirakawa Sawahei tried his best to persuade the manager to let him in and look for the little lolita, but without success. Even so, he managed to extract some information from the manager’s mouth.
The manager didn’t see any little girl entering the apartment alone from the start. Asano Nazuki’s features are quite distinctive, so according to this guy, she probably hasn’t been to this secret base.
So that little girl is lying to me!
After thinking carefully, he considered the possibility that the manager might have been bribed in advance by Asano Nazuki.
He had no choice; things seemed to come to a standstill. Shirakawa Sawahei briefly explained the situation to Hayakawa Kashi, and Little Arrogant softly responded with a "thank you" and didn’t say anything more.
The phone hadn’t been hung up yet, but Shirakawa could faintly hear the sorrowful and regretful voice of a piano master on the other end.
Person involved: Feeling very regretful, extremely regretful right now.
"Don’t worry too much... Asano is smart and won’t do anything foolish."
After a short silence on the other end, the girl’s voice softly replied, "Thanks for your kind words."
Only then did Shirakawa Sawahei gently hang up the phone and let out a long breath. That little girl really knows how to cause trouble. Who knows why she suddenly went berserk and ran off from the party.
Could it be that Asano Nazuki really is a sister-complex? Did she do this for her sister because she couldn’t stand seeing Hayakawa Kashi being bashed?
Not very likely...
He carefully recalled her usual behavior and still couldn’t comprehend it. However, he didn’t plan to dwell on it any longer. As dusk settled, after a short pause, Sawahei boarded the train home.
He had only eaten a little at the party, so the most important thing to him now wasn’t finding the little lolita, but getting some dinner first.
The resources of the Hayakawa family were beyond what an ordinary high school student like him could compare to. After tailing Asano Nazuki for a while and finding the little lolita’s secret base, he considered his mission accomplished. If they wanted him to run around the streets foolishly, sorry, but that would cost extra.
Speaking of relationships... the little lolita’s relationship with him probably wasn’t as deep as his with her sister. This was inevitable, as among the girls, she was the only one who didn’t do any proper work and always thought of backstabbing Shirakawa Sawahei. The fact that he hadn’t given her a punch of justice was already quite restrained.
If you behaved as well as Tachibana or could bewilder others’ conscience like Tsukimi Sakurazawa with external means, you wouldn’t be in this situation today, would you?
Even that fool Ise Yu knew to treat him to a meal as an apology after backstabbing him and had been working as Shirakawa’s cash cow all along. For these reasons, the little lolita’s low favorability seemed naturally justified.
However, when Shirakawa Sawahei returned to his doorstep with the take-out he packed, he found the Black Hearted Lolita with the lowest favorability squatting at his door. Her elaborate gown trailing on the ground, seemingly indifferent to it. Her expression was unfriendly, coldly staring at the air in front of her, as if locked in a struggle with an invisible enemy.
"..."
Why did this girl come to my house?
Sawahei, with a head full of black lines, walked over, and the girl warily raised her head at the sound of someone approaching.
"Where did you go!"
"I..."
Sawahei realized that it should be him asking her this question.
"Don’t act like a thief crying thief. Your sister is looking for you to go back."
As he said this, he intended to call Hayakawa Kashi to notify her to come over and retrieve the girl. Black Hearted Lolita got anxious at this, furiously saying, "Pretty boy! How dare you! If you call that woman, I will never speak to you again!"
Sawahei paused for a second, and the action of unlocking his phone involuntarily hurried up a bit.
Is there really such a good thing? Why didn’t you say so earlier!
Black Hearted Lolita: ???
Without another word, Asano Nazuki started shaking things up. Just a gentle flutter of her eyelashes, and her tears seemed to fall without any cost.
"You all bully me... You and that woman are in cahoots... I should’ve known earlier..."
"..."
Sawahei helplessly put down the phone and sighed, "Asano, so what do you want?"
"Let’s talk inside."
The little lolita instantly stopped her tears, the effect was so surprising that Sawahei couldn’t help but wonder if this little girl was entirely made of water.
"I was very careful coming here, so no one spotted me."
"You’re brave enough to run away from home, and yet afraid of getting caught?"
"Who, who ran away from home!" Black Hearted Lolita gritted her teeth, "You make it sound like I’m some clueless child!"
"Aren’t you?"
"Pretty boy! Do you believe I’ll fall out with you right here!"
Asano Nazuki jumped with anger, and Shirakawa only calmly said, "I don’t believe it... but once we get inside, don’t jump around. My place doesn’t have soundproofing as good as your home."
The little girl forced herself to suppress a wave of anger and, pouting, followed him inside. He placed the take-out on the dining table, then went to the kitchen to grab two sets of chopsticks and bowls, handing them to the little girl behind him.
"Let’s eat first. You probably haven’t eaten much either."
Black Hearted Lolita let out a hum, quietly saying, "At least you have some conscience..."
"What did you just say?"
"N-nothing!"
Asano Nazuki glared at him fiercely, then simply sat at the dining table with her chopsticks and bowl, starting to eat the take-out Sawahei brought back.
"So, why did you run off just now?"
The little lolita glanced at him, "Did that woman ask you to come over?"
"Yes, but not really." Sawahei ate a mouthful of fried rice, then said, "She just asked me to help find you. Asking this was purely out of curiosity."
"Are you really a secret siscon like rumors suggest?"
"Like her, I am controlling!!!" Black Hearted Lolita raised her voice sharply, "Are you joking with me? I would control her!?"
"I’m telling you! Even if I liked you! I wouldn’t control her! Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, I understand... don’t get excited..."
Sawahei waved his hand, indicating for the little lolita to be a bit more subdued and not to flaunt her tsundere behavior so blatantly. He then continued, "So why did you run off?"
"Humph, it’s all because of that Master Slatter; he doesn’t understand the piano."
"But he’s better than you."
"Just temporarily better than me!"
It’s true, with little lolita’s musical talent, not just in piano, with time, there’s a chance to catch up with the world-renowned master.
"But you seem to have agreed to be his student before. Surely that wasn’t your sister forcing you, right?"
"Back then, I just heard he was amazing. After attending a few performances, I thought he was okay. Who knew the guy would spout such nonsense."
"Why don’t you tell me what he did?"
Black Hearted Lolita said angrily, "He said Hayakawa Kashi’s talent wasn’t as high as mine! Isn’t that utter nonsense!"
Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
Oh, Asano Nazuki! Didn’t you say you didn’t know martial arts... no, you also said you’re not a siscon!
