My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess-Chapter 271: Watch Fireworks Again

Miss Tachibana Tomoku’s confession progress has always been strange, and Shirakawa Sawahei knew this for a long time. He even experimented with it. Her confession progression is different from the Evil Little Arrogant Hayakawa Kashi, at least in terms of judgment, it’s not the same standard at all.

Mysteriously reached 100%... Could it be a system bug... or did Azusa Stonefield stir up trouble again?

He thought for a while and couldn’t figure it out, so he decided to handle this strange confession progress by remaining unchanged.

Back at the service center, the Black Hearted Lolita instantly spotted him, tearfully complaining, "Where did you go, Little Bai? I thought you ran away!"

"I told you I was going to get you ice packs."

Shirakawa Sawahei raised the bag in his hand and took out a cup of shaved ice, offering it over, "Here, this is for you."

"What’s this? Little Bai, are you trying to drug me?"

"I’m giving you something sweet to shut you up, so you don’t go wailing later."

"Miss Kaori wouldn’t eat such food filled with artificial colors and saccharin~ Even Ise Yu tried to get me to eat it earlier, and I refused... Don’t think this will get rid of me."

The Black Hearted Lolita grumbled as she accepted the shaved ice, cautiously taking a spoonful into her mouth, and then revealing a sweet, satisfied smile.

Hmm~ It’s delicious.

"By the way, did they reply to the message?"

Shirakawa Sawahei handed the ice pack to the nurse and asked her to put it into a special cold compress bag. Checking the little girl’s injury, he asked, "I sent them a message using your phone just now; what’s the situation now?"

"What else... The fireworks are over, and they’re preparing to meet us by the river." The little girl took a spoonful of shaved ice into her mouth, cat-like licking the spoon, nonchalantly saying, "Didn’t you tell me not to reply willy-nilly?"

"Since they’ve finished watching, just tell them to head back." Shirakawa Sawahei replied without looking up, "If they find out you sprained your ankle, they’ll definitely guess we didn’t see the fireworks."

"If they guess, they guess. At most, they’ll be disappointed for a bit; no big deal."

Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t respond. The little girl paused for a moment, seemingly thinking of something, and cautiously asked, "Hey... Little Bai..."

"Is this your first time watching fireworks?"

"Yeah."

"Then... because of me... you didn’t get to see the fireworks... Are you really mad?"

"Not mad, just a bit disappointed." Shirakawa Sawahei said lightly, "I don’t know if I’ll have time to see them in the future."

"Don’t worry, I’ll save up some money and get you a whole night’s worth of fireworks to watch."

"Pfft~"

The nurse holding the ice pack smiled, finding the little girl’s words charming and endearing.

Really still a little girl... Saying she’ll get fireworks for her brother to watch as comfort...

What an adorable little sister~

The Black Hearted Lolita glared unsatisfactorily at the nurse. Apparently, she didn’t realize that her idea of saving money is different from that of ordinary kids. Asano Nazuki’s grand words didn’t move Shirakawa Sawahei, who carefully helped apply an ice pack to Asano Nazuki’s sprained ankle.

The girl’s petite foot looked especially small in Shirakawa Sawahei’s hand. She bit her spoon, frowning slightly, seemingly in pain.

"Does it hurt?"

"It really hurts... a lot..."

The Black Hearted Lolita said this as tears rolled down her cheeks, looking rather pitiful. Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at her face, then gently laid her foot flat.

"First, apply an ice pack for a while, and then see how it goes."

He reassured the little girl before following the nurse to the back and asking, "Is the doctor back yet?"

The nurse shook her head and said, "In this case, even if the doctor returns, they can’t make an accurate judgment. To understand the detailed condition of the sprain, an X-ray is still needed."

"Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. I think your sister’s condition is quite good. She was very strong just now while I was treating her wound without making a sound... She only started acting up when she saw you... I guess the injury shouldn’t be too serious."

"She’s not my sister." Shirakawa Sawahei replied helplessly.

Nurse: ???

"She’s my classmate."

"Oh..."

For some reason, Shirakawa Sawahei felt the nurse’s expression was momentarily complex...

"Your ways of addressing each other are quite interesting..." The nurse awkwardly smiled, "So... should I call an ambulance? It might be safer to get checked at the hospital."

"No need." Shirakawa Sawahei kindly declined, "Someone from her family will come to pick her up."

With that, Shirakawa Sawahei returned to the little girl. She was carefully licking the spoon of shaved ice, reluctant to finish it in one go. Seeing Shirakawa Sawahei return, she quickly reined in her childish antics and, with mock anger, said, "Why didn’t you say hi before coming back?"

"Relax, I’ve seen your silly side many times; I won’t laugh at you."

"???"

He picked up the little girl and said to the nurse, "Thanks, we’ll be leaving now."

"Hey... Sir... doesn’t your sister... your classmate need to apply the ice pack a bit more?"

"No, her family will soon take her to the hospital."

"What? Little Bai... You have already informed the Black Hearted Woman!" Asano Nazuki reacted in shock, wriggling frantically in Shirakawa Sawahei’s arms, which made him somewhat speechless. He gave a little glare to the girl and said calmly, "The only person I know is your sister, so who else could I have informed?"

"Don’t you have my dad’s number!"

"Honestly, I think your dad is even less reliable than your sister."

"But better than the Black Hearted Woman! If I end up injured in her hands, she’ll surely mock me to death!"

"Your sister isn’t that evil, alright."

"You just realized now? She’s the villainous mastermind!"

"So what are you then? The pitiful protagonist who repeatedly loses to the villain?"

"Not at all!"

He carried the little girl, engaging in casual banter. Following Miss Kaori’s message, the two of them leisurely walked to a certain intersection. At the end of it, the long-unseen Evil Little Arrogant wore a white baseball cap, donning clean, simple casual attire, her feet sporting a pair of white sneakers, leaning against the black car door.

Hmm? Somehow this scene feels a bit like a movie CG? If the little girl had some blood on her, I’d certainly look like the tough guy protagonist.

The Black Hearted Lolita immediately noticed the Little Arrogant’s gaze and hastily hugged Shirakawa Sawahei’s neck, as if signaling something. Hayakawa Kashi raised her face slightly, a faint smile forming.

"Thanks for the hard work."

"It wasn’t hard!" The Black Hearted Lolita retorted, "Holding me is truly a treat, not hard at all, Hayakawa Kashi, can you speak?"

"You have the nerve to say less than a hundred pounds isn’t weight?" Shirakawa Sawahei grumbled, "Let go of me already, have you gotten addicted to hugging?"

"You! I’m injured! How can you treat a patient like this!"

"Hayakawa, could you take your sister?"

Miss Kaori raised an eyebrow, "I haven’t held her since she was three."

"You say it like it’s something good! I fell when I was three because you overestimated your ability to hold me!"

"I just said I’d hold you, didn’t say I’d pick you up." The Evil Little Arrogant glanced at her sister’s ankle and replied indifferently, "How is it?"

"They said it’s safer to have it checked at a hospital."

"Oh, then get in the car."

He placed the little girl into the car, then stepped back. The little girl grabbed Shirakawa Sawahei’s hand, whispering, "Little Bai, if the Black Hearted Woman locks me at home and I can’t go to the beach, you have to come rescue me."

"..."

Shirakawa Sawahei’s face turned dark as he grumbled, "I’m not doing that; strictly speaking, that’s illegal."

"You! Little Bai! You dare...!"

The car window slowly closed; the little girl’s angry look was the last thing left on it before the soundproof car body shut her in completely, leaving her mouthing words unseen.

"Would you like me to give you a lift?"

"No need, there are still trains running." Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at his phone and said, "If trains were unavailable, I’d definitely accept Hayakawa’s kindness as compensation for looking after your sister."

"Seems like Shirakawa isn’t in the best mood; is it because of my adorable sister?"

"Hmm... just a bit disappointed."

"What’s disappointing?"

"I said I’d take photos for Hayakawa to make up for not seeing fireworks, yet now I haven’t seen them myself." Shirakawa Sawahei replied lightly, "Does this count as standing up Hayakawa?"

"Well, barely counts. Would you like me to bring out Nazuki to let you vent your anger?"

"..."

"Don’t be so serious, I’m just kidding."

"Hayakawa, you joke?" Shirakawa Sawahei feigned surprise, "I thought you had no sense of humor."

"Well, I don’t want to always be a dull person." Miss Kaori nodded, "So I’m trying to enhance my humor so that Shirakawa won’t find me so boring they kick me away."

"Hayakawa, that’s too severe, I wouldn’t dare kick you away."

"So you don’t dare... meaning you’ve considered it?"

"I never said anything like that; currently, Hayakawa has several good qualities."

The Evil Little Arrogant gave him a look, remaining silent for a while before curiously asking.

"Shirakawa?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you interested... in watching another fireworks show?"
