My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

"Me? I was born in November, so I'm younger than you, Shiraishi-kun."

In terms of age, Yuko Takanashi is indeed the youngest, but in terms of a certain part of her body, she is the largest.

"I see. But it's quite a coincidence that you and Ichiri-san only have one day apart on your birthdays, Kuramochi-san."

"Sigh~" Kuramochi Sakura sighed, "It's because my birthday and that stupid woman's birthday are only one day apart that our birthday party has turned into this pointless mess."

Shiraishi Sawah could only offer psychological comfort to the troubles of wealthy people.

Hideaki Shiraishi told the two girls about all the birthdays he had ever celebrated.

My birthday celebration in the countryside was much more shabby than this. My family wouldn't prepare a cake. On the morning of my birthday, they would just say "Happy Birthday" and give me an extra thousand yen as pocket money. That would be the end of the birthday ceremony, and everyone would go about their business.

That's why I often forget my own birthday, since there's nothing to care about.

"However, I was probably happier than you guys back then."

Shiraishi Sawah gave a summary.

"Miss Kuramochi, who is this?" A young man who had just entered looked at Takanashi Yuuko and asked Kuramochi Sakura.

“A friend of mine, whose surname is Takanashi.” Kuramochi Sakura wasn’t particularly polite, it seemed they were just acquaintances through family ties or something similar, and it was all just a formality.

"My name is Okagawa Hiraho, the son of the chairman of the Green Beauty Group. May I ask for your contact information?"

"No, that's alright." Faced with this situation, Takanashi Yuuko subconsciously glanced at Shiraishi Sawa Hide, then moved slightly behind him and hid.

This time, without Shiraishi Sawa's interference, Takanashi Yuko actually refused on her own, which made Shiraishi Sawa feel very gratified.

Seeing that Okagawa Hirafumi was looking at him, Shiraishi Sawah nodded.

"My name is Shiraishi Sawa Hide, an unknown nobody from Tokyo."

Okagawa Hirabu didn't think that someone with such an aura and presence was some so-called 'nobody.' He suspected the other person might be the son of a powerful figure hiding in anonymity. He also understood the girl's refusal, so he said:

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you all."

Shiraishi Sawa stroked his chin, watching Okagawa Pingbu's departing figure, and sighed:

"Why are you all so polite? I've never met any of those spoiled brats in novels who become stepping stones for the male lead."

Shiraishi Sawa was already imagining how he would beat this guy up if he tried to force his way in.

However, in this situation, one must exercise restraint, otherwise it is unlikely that the situation can be salvaged.

“Not all rich kids are polite,” Kuramochi Sakura explained at this point, “but rather those who are impolite or don’t know how to be polite. Their families wouldn’t dare let them come to my and Chiyo’s birthday party. If they cause trouble at such an event and make enemies of everyone there, their families simply won’t be able to stay in Tokyo.”

Some rich kids are just like those in novels—utterly hopeless and good-for-nothing, only daring to act arrogantly in other situations.

“Got it,” Shiraishi Sawah nudged Takanashi Yuko’s arm. “Kuramochi-san is emphasizing to us how powerful these two companies we’ve latched onto are, so we can be their lapdogs.”

Upon hearing this, Takanashi Yuuko covered her mouth and started laughing, making Kuramochi Sakura feel a little embarrassed.

"What?! I was just trying to analyze the situation for you! I'm so angry! If anyone's going to be a simp, it's Shiraishi-kun. Yuuko-chan will definitely be my friend!"

"It's really heartbreaking."

"Shiraishi-kun, why are you talking like that wicked woman? That's not good."

"No, Kuramochi-san, you don't understand my good intentions. Learning from Fox-san's way of speaking is to train your ability to argue with her, so that you can successfully defeat her in the future!"

"Really?"

"real!"

"Okay, I misunderstood you."

It's obvious that Kuramochi Sakura lost to Ichiyori Chiyo; that fox isn't as easily fooled as she is.

Before seven o'clock, before the banquet had officially started, Chiyo arrived.

Instead of choosing a new dress, she opted for the original burgundy long dress. Shiraishi Sawah approved of this choice, saying that it suited Chiyo quite well, though it still had to take a backseat to the bunny girl outfit.

Bunny Girl is forever a goddess.

"Fox, didn't you guys say in your previous conversation that you would arrive at Kuramochi-san's birthday party as late as possible? Why are you here earlier than yesterday?"

"Little Bird Yusang has arrived; we should at least greet him."

"Thank you very much, Chiyo-senpai."

Seeing that Yuko was about to bow, Chiyo felt a little guilty and held her down so she couldn't bend over, saying that it wasn't necessary.

The overall process of the gathering was exactly the same as yesterday.

At seven o'clock sharp, Kuramochi Sakura went up to say a few words, and then the banquet began. Everyone chatted in groups as they did yesterday, except there were fewer guests and some new guests.

Unlike yesterday, when only Chiyo and Shiraishi Sawa were chatting, today a small group of four had formed. However, the location was still next to the table, so that Shiraishi Sawa could eat more easily.

It's not that no one of their generation tried to join this circle, after all, the two most prestigious young ladies are in there, and the four of them are undeniably the most attractive.

Regardless of gender, when you approach someone to say hello, the response is rather cold. Several people will just nod with fake smiles and show no intention of moving to make room for you.

They were all smart people, so they naturally said goodbye and left.

However, Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko were actually unaware of the intricacies of this matter; they simply followed the rule of not doing anything themselves.

There were still some performances included, but they were all different from yesterday's.

However, when the girl group came out to dance, Shiraishi Zexiu felt that if he looked at the girl group even once, he would be killed by several stares.

Forget it, I won't watch it if I don't want to. Instead of watching this, I'd rather replay the scenes from Ichiyo in my mind.

In return for a favor, at ten o'clock, Chiyo chose to say a dozen words to Kuramochi Sakurai before leaving. Clearly, Kuramochi Sakurai, whose self-cultivation was not up to par, could not control her expression as well as Chiyo had the day before.

As she left, Takanashi Yuuko was still comforting Kuramochi Sakura.

--

"Fox-san, why did you call me out?"

"Stay here with me and enjoy the breeze." Chiyo pulled Shiraishi Sawa to a bench by the nearby artificial lake. Frogs croaked all around, and the cool night breeze ruffled their hair, making it quite comfortable.

"It's more comfortable to have the air blowing from the outdoor unit of the air conditioner."

"I do not have masochism."

"Speaking of which, once you enter the sanctuary, can you give me back that request from before, 'I'll wear whatever you want to see'? I won't mention the Emperor's New Clothes this time; I want to see the shrine maiden's outfit, which is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?"

After a few minutes of silence, Shiraishi Sawahide finally spoke.

"Dream on, you used this opportunity to make up for it before."

I've accumulated so much of my super memory over time, but I'm not going to use it for anything. Am I supposed to use it for studying?

Isn't that neglecting one's proper duties?

"Damn it! I panicked, I lost my temper, and I'm in a fit of impotent rage."

"Hmph, we'll talk about it later. Maybe I'll give you this chance again when I'm in a good mood."

"Understood. From today onwards, I'll be your lapdog."

"First, show me your sycophantic skills, and then I'll see if I want you as my sycophant." Chiyo Ichiro looked at Shiraishi Sawa with amusement and said.

"Sir God."

"? That's it, just that one sentence." After waiting a few seconds, Chiyo asked in surprise.

"The essence is found in small things. I've already hailed you as my divine being, aren't you satisfied yet?"

"Satisfied, satisfied!" Chiyo laughed out loud, her voice carrying far across the deserted artificial lake.

"But I'm not satisfied enough to let you see me in a shrine maiden outfit yet. Let's work harder in the future."

“Withdraw, you are no longer my god. Gods do not fool their believers.”

“Pr,” Chiyoko said, sticking out her tongue at Shiraishi Sawa. “You’ve got it wrong, Shiraishi-kun. Isn’t the purpose of gods to fool their followers?”

"That makes some sense, but it's not entirely true."

......

The two continued chatting like this, one after the other, until the banquet ended at eleven o'clock.

"Are you staying at my place again tonight?" Chiyo asked, looking at the lake ruffled by the evening breeze, after realizing it was time to leave.

"No, I'm more comfortable sleeping at home, unless you show me your shrine maiden outfit." Shiraishi Sawa Hide didn't want to have breakfast with Ichiri Yumi face-to-face again the next day.

"I didn't buy a shrine maiden outfit." Chiyo looked at the lake even more intently.

"What a pity." Shiraishi Zexiu stood up and patted off non-existent dust. "Let's go, they should be waiting for us."

Chiyo followed Shiraishi Sawa to the door and found Takanashi Yuuko and Kuramochi Sakura standing there.

"It's so late, Takanashi-san, are you sure you want to go back?" Chiyo asked casually.

"Yes, thank you, Ichiryu-senpai, but I plan to go back. I'm not a good sleeper, so I'm sorry." Takanashi Yuuko nodded in acknowledgment.

"Okay, how are you and Shiraishi getting back?"

"Sakura sent her family's driver to take us."

"Okay, then I won't compete with her for this favor. Be careful on your way home, and send me a message when you get home, Shiraishi-kun."

"Something about these words just doesn't sound right to me," Shiraishi Zexiu said, scratching his head.

"Boys need to protect themselves when they're out, especially since you're bringing Xiaoniao Yousang with you. You may not be important, but she is."

"Okay, I agree with you. We'll risk our lives to protect the safety of the birds."

The affected knightly salute amused the girls.

"Let's go, goodbye to the two birthday celebrants!"

"Then I'll wish you all the best again, happy birthday Ichiru-senpai and Sakura-chan!"

"Bye-Bye!"

"Bye-Bye!"
