Chapter 15: Shiraishizawa Hide, Devastated by Rumors

Good morning, Shiraishi-kun.

Wearing a pink dinosaur onesie, Takanashi Yuuko greeted Shiraishi Sawa Hide, who was standing at the shower door, her face inexplicably flushed.

Shiraishi Zexiu nodded in acknowledgment, then leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep, waiting for Kotori Yuuko to finish washing up.

Yuko Takanashi thought for a moment, then leaned further into the shower stall.

"Shiraishi-kun, are you going to wash up? Why don't we just go together? There's plenty of space here."

Shiraishi Sawa, who didn't have his phone with him, shook his head, pointed to the silver watch on his left wrist with his right hand, and made a "you go first" gesture.

"No need, you can go first if you have time."

Takanashi Yuuko quickened her washing up, closed the door, went to the toilet, handed the shower room to Shiraishi Sawa, and went back to her room to change.

"Shiraishi-kun, I'm going to change my clothes now. Could you please show me the way to school later? I'm not familiar with this area. I took several detours to get here yesterday."

Shiraishi Sawahide nodded in agreement.

Having changed out of her pajamas and into her Meikawa High School uniform, Takanashi Yuuko exudes a unique youthful energy that clashes with Shiraishi Sawa's cold and expressionless aura. As they walk toward the train, passersby can't help but stare at this odd couple.

After boarding the train, Shiraishi Sawa Hide sent a message to Takanashi Yuko.

"Takashi, let's not tell our classmates that we live together. It will cause a lot of trouble for both of us, and I hate trouble."

"I understand, Mr. Shiraishi. I will definitely not reveal it."

"After we get off the tram, you go to school first, and I'll go to the station to buy a bottle of water so we can avoid entering the school at the same time."

"I understand, Shiraishi-kun. You've thought of everything so meticulously, you're amazing!" Takanashi Yuuko turned around, leaned forward, and looked at him with admiration.

Shiraishi Sawa Hide then leaned as far as possible towards the man on his left, leaving a considerable gap between them.

"Thank you for the compliment, but please don't get so close to me."

"Eh~ the rumors were true after all."

"What rumor?"

"Oops, I let it slip!" Takanashi Yuuko covered her mouth, looking at Shiraishi Sawa with pitiful eyes, "Can you please not say it?"

“Okay, this is your free-spirited Takanashi classmate.” However, Shiraishi Sawa Hide stared at Takanashi Yuko with an emotionless gaze from the beginning.

Takanashi Yuuko succumbed to that gaze, her tense body collapsing.

"Okay, okay, Shiraishi-kun, I've told you, but you can't take it out on your classmates afterwards. They're saying that Shiraishi Sawah has gynophobia, and it's gotten really bad lately, that you're afraid to interact with girls..."

However, it must be said that this point is correct.

"They even said that maybe your voice is actually fine, and it's just an excuse you use to avoid talking to girls face-to-face. But I saw Shiraishi taking medicine yesterday, so the rumors are unfounded..."

I almost got caught red-handed, but luckily I thought of this yesterday and went all out by eating a few candies. However, if I continue to use the method of faking a sore throat, it really won't be able to cover up the truth anymore.

"And the most outrageous thing is, hahaha, Takagi Ryo and the others said that Shiraishi-kun might be impotent, but I noticed that this morning too, so I guess he isn't~"

Before Takanashi Yuuko could finish speaking, she covered her mouth and, seeing Shiraishi Sawa's face as black as the bottom of a pot, silently moved away a little.

He can tolerate fear of women, he can tolerate feigning illness, but he can't tolerate being truly unwell.

"Um, Shiraishi-kun, should I talk to them...? Are you sure you can handle it...?"

"No need." Shiraishi Zexiu gritted his teeth.

You shouldn't have opened your mouth!

"Takanashi-kun, may I ask who the people in Takagi Ryo's group are? (smile.JPG) I'd like to deliver some local specialties to their home."

"I'm so sorry, Shiraishi-kun! I really can't tell them for their safety!"

--

As if deliberately going against Shiraishi Sawa's wishes, no new tasks were issued for the next few days, whether he was spending time with Takanashi Yuuko or with Ichiyo Ichiri while working.

Shiraishi Sawa, who scanned each person individually, did not find any new targets for triggering the mission.

On Friday afternoon, on his way to the club building's conference room, Shiraishizawa Hide took a moment to send a message to Takanashi Yuko:

"Takashi, are you going home to cook dinner tonight? Or are you going out with your friends like the other day?"

"I'm not going out to play anymore. I'm going home to cook dinner tonight. What's wrong, Shiraishi? Did the rumors these past few days hurt you? You should have asked me to vouch for you sooner."

"I'm not going to work tonight. I should go straight home after the student council meeting. Could you please cook for two tonight? Don't wait for me, just leave me some food. The rumors don't affect me, don't worry."

Rumor? To be honest, Shiraishi Sawa Hide actually misses this rumor a little.

"I understand about dinner."

After spending a few days together, Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko became a little more familiar with each other.

Meanwhile, in the past few days, Takanashi Yuko has become the most popular character.

Everyone in the class discovered that Takanashi Yuuko was not only smart and knowledgeable, but also had excellent hands-on skills. She was also very gentle and considerate to everyone, without any prejudice. If you had any problems or difficulties, you could basically find her to solve them. She was like the Akikawa Yorozuya (a famous Japanese business owner).

Meanwhile, Takanashi Yuuko has joined several clubs and made friends from other classes in the past few days. Now, the whole school gradually knows that there is a class in the main campus with two amazing people in it.

One is Takanashi Yuuko, whose beauty and cuteness are no less than that of President Su, but whose personality is completely different. She is very lively and easy to get along with, and she doesn't have a friend like Shimizu Yoshiko yet.

One is the famous, aloof male god, handsome and cold, who has never been in a relationship, rarely speaks to girls, and is said to have gynophobia and seems to be impotent.

The outrageous rumors, seemingly spread throughout the school by those with ulterior motives, have begun to change in nature. Initially, everyone in the class knew that the rumors were just jokes among the boys, but now the rumors circulating throughout the school have led a small number of uninformed alumni to believe that they are true.

The decrease in love letters received by Shiraishi Sawa a few days ago can be largely attributed to this rumor, and he is also pointed at and talked about when he walks down the street.

After realizing the problem, the friends who first made the joke in class immediately came over and admitted it, assuring Shiraishi Sawa that they hadn't spread it. However, after discovering that Shiraishi Sawa didn't seem to care, they began to 'seriously' help him clarify the rumors.

For example, she would risk her reputation by saying that she had fought him with a sword.

Before the wind direction became even stranger, these guys who hadn't been beaten up before were now getting a beating from Shiraishi Sawa.

However, the rumors had already dissipated by yesterday, because he was very angry when they first reached Taichi Oki. This was his most important ally in his weekend dating plan! If he had a mental breakdown because of this and didn't come over for the weekend, who would face Shimizu Miko with him!

He took the other members directly to the two presidents to explain the situation. To his surprise, President Su took it very seriously. Under the president's order, the student union began to mobilize everyone to investigate the source of the rumors.

The last three boys were caught. They had overheard the boys making this joke when they passed by Shiraishi Zexiu's classroom and decided to maliciously spread the rumor.

The reason was that he was jealous of Shiraishi Sawa's handsomeness and popularity among girls, and wanted to bring him down from his pedestal. In the end, the mastermind was expelled from school, while the two accomplices were placed on probation.

As for the victims of the rumors, Shiraishi Sawah expressed deep regret and resentment towards the three classmates.

As for the reason, it's because Shiraishi Sawah discovered that due to the existence of this rumor, he received far fewer love letters in the past few days, and very few girls bothered him anymore. Shiraishi Sawah no longer had to try to deal with these things, and he was much more relaxed and carefree.

The points I lost these past few days were minimal, and it was all because I had to chat with Chiyo Ichiru.

Having discovered this benefit, Shiraishi Sawah felt that even if it wasn't ideal, he could still tolerate it.

As for the gossip and furtive glances from others, Shiraishi Sawa was already used to it. Before the rumors, it was just well-intentioned curiosity, but now it was malicious curiosity.

Rumors stop with the wise. As long as the people Shiraishi Sawah cares about don't believe these rumors, he doesn't care about anyone else.

Rumors can never break a mentally strong person.

So these past few days, unless someone specifically asks him, he will explain that it is a rumor. When no one asks, Shiraishi Sawa Hide does not take the initiative to refute the rumor, which also fits his original aloof persona.

Moreover, since he happens to have Yuko Takanashi as his roommate, Hideaki Shiraishi can clarify this rumor at any time.

In fact, as soon as she discovered that the rumors had spread throughout the school, Takanashi Yuuko immediately came to Shiraishi Sawa and told him in a very serious and solemn tone that she would help him clarify the rumors, emphasizing the harm and seriousness of the rumors.

However, Shiraishi Sawa refused, citing concerns about damaging her reputation, and told her that he would ask for her help if he ever couldn't handle it anymore.

Originally, everything was under Shiraishi Zexiu's control. He planned to accumulate 5000 points to exchange for communication permissions, 'heal' his voice, and then clarify the situation. Unexpectedly, he was now forced to clarify.

If it weren't for discovering how strong the student council's investigative abilities were, Shiraishi Sawa would have even considered finding someone to help him continue spreading the rumor. However, considering the potential for serious problems if he were investigated again, the hesitant Shiraishi Sawa ultimately abandoned this dangerous idea.

This can't be blamed on Taichi Oki and Soga Kirei; Shiraishi Sawa could only complain about the three rumor-mongers' incompetence.

Now that the rumors have been clarified, a bunch of teenagers have come to apologize to Shiraishi Sawa, because they had actually believed or questioned the rumors before. Shiraishi Sawa is having a really tough time dealing with them.

After settling into his seat in the Organization Department, Taichi Oki patted his muscular chest muscles twice with his palm.

"How about that, Minister Oki? Didn't you do a good job clearing up this disgusting rumor for you? You better behave yourself this weekend!"

Looking at Taichi Oki's sincere and radiant smile,

"Thank you, Minister. I was almost devastated by this rumor."

Chapter 16 How could such a thing happen between a husband and wife?

When the meeting was scheduled to proceed as planned, each department reported on the progress of their plans from the previous week.

Shiraishi Sawa was still too lazy to listen. This time, instead of practicing calligraphy, he quietly looked at "The Rules of Portrait Photography".

What broke Shiraishi Sawa's concentration was the sound of Oki Taichi moving his chair aside.

Realizing it was now the Organization Department's turn to report, Shiraishi Sawa looked up at Oki Taichi and, along with the Organization Department's deputy director present, gave him a encouraging look.

Taichi Oki took a deep breath and then walked to the podium.

"The Organization Department's task last week was..." Taichi Oki stated fluently, as if he had rehearsed it several times beforehand.

"...Since the craft department cannot directly help us make props, we can only purchase the long inflatable props needed for the new fun sports project. In the previous report, we named the prop 'Caterpillar,' but there should actually be many different kinds. The craft department can also optimize it."

"Therefore, we need to purchase them as soon as possible to give the crafts department enough time. We've tentatively decided that Shiraishawa Hide and I will go buy them this weekend. Our problem is that all the girls in the organization department are unavailable this weekend, and for the sake of aesthetics and suitability for both male and female students,"

After a pause, Taichi Oki took another deep breath, hardened his gaze, and looked at the head of the table.

"Shiraishi Sawa and I hope that the president and vice president can accompany us to choose props this weekend! We hope you can agree!"

Shiraishi Sawa could vaguely hear the discussion in the department next door.

"That's a lame excuse; you obviously just want to go on a date."
