My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Participating in the Cultural Festival!

Looking at the overwhelmingly cute response, Shirakawa Sawahei keenly noticed that something must have happened to Asano Nazuki.

This little girl who even takes dropping an eraser as a chance to chat with me, now suddenly has a "please go, I don’t want to talk" attitude. Is this normal?

Was she possessed by someone?

But since there was a distance, separated by a screen, Shirakawa Sawahei could only suppress his doubts and didn’t continue to ask anything further.

Even if he asked, the little girl would probably just use being asleep as an excuse to refuse to reply.

What kind of change could make that cunning little girl suddenly have such a change in character?

Could it be the legendary tactic of feigning indifference to lure someone?

Wait, how could I think of such a thing that only Ise Yu Yuzhijin would come up with! Am I infected by her foolishness?

That’s too scary!

Shirakawa Sawahei silently moved a bit away from Ise Yu Yuzhijin...

Since getting a response, Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t have any intention to stay in the health room. He turned around and greeted the female school nurse, causing her to shiver and wave at him stiffly...

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

Though I’m not sure why, the look in the female school nurse’s eyes is very similar to the first time Yuri Hime and Azusa Ishihara saw me.

Watching Shirakawa Sawahei’s departing figure, the female school nurse couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

So terrifying, is this the oppressive aura of a campus bully who has his way both legally and illegally? I feel like my breathing almost stopped just now!

In terms of middle school syndrome and imagination, the female school nurse is also a typical Neon person.

She glanced at Ise Yu Yuzhijin sleeping in bed and silently tucked her in.

To be the woman of the King, I can’t let her catch a cold...

After returning to the classroom, Shirakawa Sawahei unusually had a calm morning; neither Ise Yu Yuzhijin came to bother him nor Asano Nazuki approached with ill intent to start a conversation.

Case closed, it turns out you two are the reasons my peaceful life turned busy and tiring!

This thought had just emerged when it was ruthlessly interrupted by Kikuchi Takamiya. During break time, this wise and brave class leader seized the opportunity of the vacant spot next to Shirakawa Sawahei to directly approach him.

"Shirakawa."

Kikuchi Takamiya said with a mysterious smile: "You already know about Asano’s sick leave, right?"

"Yes, I do."

"In that case, Shirakawa, you’ll represent our class to visit Asano, okay?"

"I haven’t had a chance to properly thank you for the cultural festival meeting last time." Kikuchi Takamiya said with a modest, self-sacrificing look.

Shirakawa Sawahei’s expression froze for a second.

What’s the logic here? Because you want to thank me, so you send me to visit Asano, that little girl?

Is this the right way to show gratitude? You’re trying to get me into trouble, aren’t you?!

Class leader, are you sure your way of thinking is alright?

"Ah no, Kikuchi... Asano and I..."

"I understand, I understand." Kikuchi Takamiya gave Shirakawa Sawahei a knowing look: "I’ll inform Asano it was assigned by the teacher, so there won’t be any issues."

Shirakawa Sawahei: ???

Hold on, I kind of feel like the class leader is labeling me as a tsundere male lead? Is it just my imagination?

"Class leader, maybe this should be reconsidered... I’m thinking the girls in class..."

"I’ve already talked to the girls about it, Shirakawa, you can do it!" Kikuchi Takamiya patted his shoulder, encouraging him.

"I originally wanted to prepare today’s notes for Asano, but since it’s Shirakawa, I’ll skip the embarrassment..."

"..."

Shirakawa Sawahei still wanted to resist a bit more, but Kikuchi Takamiya had already decided this topic was over and continued: "Oh, by the way, speaking of which, the Akihisa school knowledge competition, seems like there’s a little preparation issue..."

"The question-making team is arguing in the student council every day..."

For such an absurdly planned activity, not having arguments would be the real problem.

"But anyway, our class always has to pick a team to compete." Kikuchi Takamiya seemed to think of something, his face showing delight: "The chairman said that this time, the rewards for participating include additional class ranking points, and the school board has approved this decision."

"Since it’s an activity integrating education with entertainment, even teachers are now paying attention."

At Akihisa High School, class ranking points are not only related to average grades but also to the students’ various performances. Generally, higher-ranked classes result in much higher bonuses for teachers.

This is a way to stimulate teachers’ initiative, but truth be told, money is what really motivates adults. Things like class honor are just nonsense; a thick paycheck is the only real deal.

Kikuchi Takamiya focused on class honor and other credentials, while homeroom teacher Uehara Shigeo, being a typical adult, flaunted a lot in the office once he learned about this activity.

"Oh my, our class’s Shirakawa is great at everything, but he’s too serious. For the sake of class honor, he insists on participating to win first place. I advised him to focus on studying, but he won’t listen! Insists on putting effort for the teachers and students... Such a genuinely good kid... so rare to find!"

The teachers in the office could only watch helplessly as Uehara showed off, unable to do anything. Because after all, he had Shirakawa Sawahei, the school prodigy at Akihisa. If he said he wanted first place, other competitors could only vie for second.

There’s no way anyone else in his class could compete with Shirakawa Sawahei.

The second in the grade, Hayakawa Kashi, might have a chance, but she has been defeated multiple times by Shirakawa Sawahei already, so it’s hard for her to make a comeback suddenly.

Teachers, after all, are teachers. As soon as they heard about a knowledge contest, they naturally associated it with academics. If they knew that this competition would have bizarre questions, Uehara wouldn’t be able to gloat in front of them so confidently.

Kikuchi Takamiya carried the noble mission entrusted to him by Uehara Shigeo: to persuade Shirakawa Sawahei into the competition team. If the class leader couldn’t do it, then the homeroom teacher would have to take up the mantle himself to ensure this trump card played out in the competition.

He tentatively asked: "Shirakawa, if you have some time..."

"Form a team, right?"

Shirakawa Sawahei deciphered Kikuchi Takamiya’s words, making Kikuchi Takamiya feel a bit embarrassed, and he said: "Yes, that’s it. Honestly, there aren’t too many talented people in our class, and everyone thinks you are the best hope."

"Even Teacher Uehara said that Shirakawa has to join no matter what."

Shirakawa Sawahei hesitated for a moment.

He originally didn’t want to get involved in this messy event, but if it was a request from the homeroom teacher who helped him get several scholarships...
