Chapter 38: Chapter 38: The Hidden Attributes of the Study Princess

Oga Masaaki couldn’t vent his anger on his nephew for too long; the earlier ominous sign quickly came true. The police drove over to arrest him on charges of dereliction of duty and accepting bribes.

Faced with this heap of well-organized and substantial evidence, Oga Masaaki’s vision went black, and he almost collapsed.

It’s over, this time it’s really over...

That lady, she really intends to completely ruin me...

Oga Masato stood aside, not daring to even breathe heavily, helplessly watching as his retreat was easily shattered.

No matter how ignorant he might be, he understood that he’d hit a brick wall this time. Shirakawa Sawahei isn’t simple, and his sister’s identity is even more terrifying.

Who can, overnight, drag a board member of the school to hell? You should know, while Oga Masaaki’s position isn’t too high, it results from a balance of multiple forces.

Trying to move against him would likely encounter resistance from the various factions behind the financial groups.

This opponent exceeds Oga Masato’s understanding, and he silently decided in his heart.

Transfer schools immediately! Right away! Right now!

If I can’t provoke you, I’ll just avoid you! At worst, I’ll find a place where not many know me and continue living as I am.

As for the uncle he screwed over... well, let’s all pretend nothing happened.

Unfortunately, the police didn’t seem to intend to let him get away that easily. One of the officers glanced at Oga Masato and said, "You’re Oga Masaaki’s nephew, aren’t you?"

"Someone has accused you of intentional harm, defamation, and other charges. Please come with us for an investigation."

Oga Masato’s vision darkened as if he would collapse just like his uncle.

It’s over, really over, it must be Taiga Naoki... he still refuses to let me go...

Uncle and nephew got in the car, faces ashen as if in mourning. Although due to class, not many people saw this scene. However, Shirakawa Sawahei quickly noticed something seemed off with Oga Masato and Oga Masaaki.

He patiently waited until lunch break, then ran to the rooftop where he usually met with his study companion to voice his doubts.

"Was it you who did it?"

Hayakawa Kashi looked at him oddly, "What are you talking about?"

"Those two, Oga Masato and Oga Masaaki," Shirakawa Sawahei asked puzzledly. "Didn’t you tell me to be careful myself before? Why did you suddenly change your mind and help me solve it?"

Could it be my study partner is a typical tsundere who’s tough on the outside and soft on the inside?

Hayakawa Kashi chuckled disdainfully, "Shirakawa, you must’ve misunderstood. I didn’t do anything."

"Hmm, got it." Shirakawa Sawahei seemed to understand something and nodded.

As expected of a tsundere, intending to leave the scene and hide her achievements...

Surprisingly, the high and mighty Miss Hayakawa Kashi has such a hidden attribute.

Alas, girls are cuter when they’re a bit soft and cute.

Perceiving something off about Shirakawa Sawahei’s attitude, Hayakawa Kashi frowned, "Do you doubt what I’m saying?"

"Got it, got it, I don’t doubt it," said Shirakawa Sawahei, having watched a few rom-coms, he knew not to push a tsundere too hard.

Well well, since you’re my number one study companion, I’ll save you face. If it were Asano Nazuki, I’d have retorted immediately, exposing her without mercy.

Hayakawa Kashi glanced at Shirakawa Sawahei, withdrew her gaze. With her proud nature, she naturally wouldn’t explain much more.

Misunderstand as you will, she didn’t care much about how others perceived her.

Anyhow, Old Master Oga’s coffin has already been nailed shut by the two of them working together. Whether there’s a chance for the dead to rise depends on the victim Taiga Naoki’s desire for revenge.

Having resolved the issue, Shirakawa Sawahei finally felt somewhat relieved. The next task was to establish a group of thriving students in class C1.

With this supported group, it would ensure that Miss Tachibana Tomoku wouldn’t encounter such upsetting matters in the future.

He pondered and felt that relying solely on himself, it was difficult to influence the class dynamics. The person who could do this sat beside him, quietly eating her lunch.

"Hayakawa..."

"I refuse."

"..."

Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, "I haven’t even said anything yet."

"Whatever you say, the result will be the same," Hayakawa Kashi replied flatly.

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa didn’t push further, simply saying, "Hmm, thanks for the help with this issue."

"We are doing an equivalent exchange."

"True, I should treat you to a meal."

"Are you regretting it, Shirakawa?"

"I can afford at least one meal."

Hayakawa Kashi acknowledged and focused on finishing her lunch. Shirakawa Sawahei was content with the atmosphere and did not break the silence.

"If you’re worried about Miss Tachibana encountering such issues again, you can rest assured," Hayakawa Kashi suddenly said.

"Once Oga Masato’s circle breaks up, those who mingle with other circles won’t be bothered about this matter."

"The remaining remnants are just a rabble, not capable of revenge."

"In the end, they weren’t that deeply connected; once broken, it won’t mend."

Hesitating, Shirakawa asked, "That rumored girl who had a crush on Oga Masato, Misima Namie, won’t she have problems?"

"Misima Namie?" Hayakawa nodded slightly, "She’ll likely be deeply affected due to Oga Masato... If you’re still concerned, you could use this to keep her in check."

She handed him a photo. Shirakawa took it, and his expression became varied.

"Even this you can..."

The photo showed Misima Namie in a car kissing a middle-aged man. Undoubtedly, that man was probably her guardian...

Indeed, people of the world value wealth over appearances... That guardian... indeed looks wealthy.

"Thank you," Shirakawa took the photo and sincerely thanked his study partner.

Despite being a bit tsundere, it doesn’t change the fact you’re the brightest and most worry-free under my command.

"We are doing an equivalent exchange," Hayakawa Kashi calmly reiterated.

In fact, Shirakawa didn’t get the chance to use that photo. In the afternoon, during the break, he heard from the gossiping girls in his class that Misima Namie had already transferred.

It seems she’s handling the paperwork but hasn’t attended class.

This outcome surprised Shirakawa, but it saved him quite a bit of trouble.

Logically, while that dirt was powerful, it was mostly geared towards Oga Masato, and its general effect on her wasn’t that strong. This sudden transfer might signal that she sensed some danger.

Hmm? Perhaps my scheming, cool, little tsundere discreetly took care of it.

Indeed, though she often gives him attitude, Hayakawa’s reliability in handling matters is far ahead of the likes of Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s chaos.
