My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess
Chapter 223: Apologize to me now!

Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Apologize to me now!

"Um... Hayakawa... I can explain..."

Miss Kashi deliberately showed a knowing expression on her face and nodded, saying, "So Shirakawa brought me here for this matter."

"Eh? Shirakawa kid... haven’t you confessed yet? You’re still not in a relationship?"

Uncle Sakura realized he misspoke, coughed twice and said, "Ah, ah, I am getting senile... that was actually a joke, just a joke... young lady, just pretend you didn’t hear anything..."

"That won’t do." Hayakawa Kashi smiled and said, "I don’t have many advantages. I only have a slightly better memory than most people, but in other aspects, I’m just a woman who would drag someone down..."

"If I think back on today’s events a few more times, I might remember it for a long time..."

"..."

"Dad... it’s all your fault for being talkative." Yuuki dragged Uncle Sakura aside and whispered, "Now look, you’ve messed up Brother Shirakawa’s romantic plans and made him confess early!"

"And Brother Shirakawa was clearly joking when he said he brought his girlfriend, how come you remember it so clearly!"

"If something goes wrong and that girl gets a bad impression of Brother Shirakawa..."

"How was I supposed to know... when I came in and saw that pretty girl, I subconsciously thought she was Shirakawa kid’s girlfriend!"

"Look, that girl didn’t even blush or show any signs of shyness when she heard you! Brother Shirakawa has totally become a loser!"

"Forced confession failure! It’s all your fault, Dad!"

"How do you know? What if she’s that kind of... that kind..."

"Tsundere?"

"Right! What if she’s a tsundere?"

"Impossible, a tsundere should react more strongly. This girl seems very calm..."

"Brother Shirakawa! Crisis in love!"

"What do we do now..." Uncle Sakura asked.

"Cough... give Brother Shirakawa a free meal, let him handle it..."

"Makes sense."

The Sichuan chef and his assistant were still whispering over there, while Shirakawa Sawahei and Little Arrogant started debating whose fault this was.

Having interacted with Ise Yu for so long, Shirakawa Sawahei had gained quite a bit of insight into the art of shifting blame.

What’s the most important thing in shifting blame? Strike first!

Performance: lv3! Activate!

Based on this important principle, Shirakawa Sawahei turned and seriously said, "Hayakawa, don’t you think you should apologize to me?"

Miss Kashi’s lips slightly curled up, and her eyes gleamed with laughter, as if admiring Shirakawa Sawahei’s performance.

"Oh? Shirakawa, tell me, what did I do wrong?"

"You ruined my future wonderful memories with my girlfriend, just as Uncle Sakura said. I originally planned with him to bring my girlfriend to this store. You’re clearly not my girlfriend, yet you occupied her spot, wasting a precious first memory."

"In such a situation, shouldn’t you apologize to me and to my future girlfriend?"

"Mmm, according to Shirakawa, I really am a terribly ignorant woman~"

"That being said, since I’ve known Hayakawa for a while now, I won’t ask for an apology, it was unintentional, and I have some responsibility too... let’s just say nothing happened."

"Shirakawa seems to have forgiven me, but your future girlfriend hasn’t." Hayakawa Kashi leisurely said, "So, I still owe her an apology, right?"

"..."

"Alright, I admit... I made a mistake this time." Shirakawa Sawahei seeing the blame-shifting tactic failed, could only helplessly say, "For what happened to Hayakawa... ahem... I’m very sorry..."

The girl had a faint smile in her bright eyes. She raised her small face and softly asked, "Is Shirakawa admitting?"

"Admitting what?"

"Admitting you’re indirectly confessing to me."

Shirakawa Sawahei’s expression changed dramatically, "I’m not, don’t talk nonsense, I purely forgot about this... you can’t just make things up."

"Well, thinking about it, Shirakawa isn’t interested in girls ranked lower than him, saying something like that makes me feel a bit thick-skinned~"

Miss Kashi subtly critiqued him, and Shirakawa Sawahei had no way to retaliate, not even the usual line when bickering with Hayakawa, "you’re ranked below me," could be said.

How frustrating, is Uncle Sakura an inside agent? Did Hayakawa Kashi bribe him to give her reasons to tease me!?

"Then I apologize to you."

"No need, I still owe your future girlfriend an apology." Miss Kashi chuckled, "If I accept another apology from Shirakawa, wouldn’t I owe two?"

"..."

No wonder you’re Hayakawa Kashi, an experienced Onmyoji player.

"I’ll cover this meal." Shirakawa Sawahei played his final card.

"Alright."

After spending money to avoid disaster, Miss Kashi finally stopped dwelling on that mess. Shirakawa Sawahei was about to call Uncle Sakura over to settle the bill, but he was informed with smiling faces that their meal was on the house.

Shirakawa Sawahei: ???

You still say you’re not an inside agent! Guilty conscience, huh!

He shook his head, thinking he should have known better than to come here just to see Miss Kashi cry from the spiciness. Now, he didn’t even get to see Hayakawa Kashi cry, yet he had to pay for the meal himself.

Losing both the meal and... hmm? What did I lose again?

Little Arrogant Study Girl stood up from the chair, and Shirakawa Sawahei, observing the girl frowning slightly, pausing her movements a bit, wondered, "Hayakawa, do you feel unwell?"

"It’s nothing." The girl said as she walked, "Just the heel of my shoe is rubbing, I’ll just buy a band-aid later."

"Shoe rubbing?" Shirakawa Sawahei asked curiously, "Aren’t your shoes quite expensive?"

Miss Kashi glanced at him and softly said, "Maybe the designer of these shoes didn’t expect me to walk such a long distance."

"...."

This reason is quite genuine. Rich people’s shoes probably don’t consider issues of wearing them more often or walking far. Very reasonable.

It was hard for Miss Kashi, wearing uncomfortable shoes and calmly strolling over, she didn’t even hum a tune, nor complain or lose her temper. To Shirakawa Sawahei, somehow, this calm Miss Kashi seemed a bit cute.

"You sit here." Shirakawa Sawahei said, "I’ll go to the nearby store to buy you a band-aid."

"Brother Shirakawa, no need for that trouble." From afar, Yuuki called out, "We have a medical kit in the store, it has band-aids... and disinfectant alcohol."

"Oh, then Yuuki, please bring it over. I’ll handle it for her directly."

Hearing Shirakawa Sawahei’s natural response, Miss Kashi paused for a second.

"Are you sure... you want to help me?"
