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

I've never seen Chiyo mention this.

Chapter 189 Shiraishi Sawa Hide doesn't need to run around anymore

Although it was strange, Shiraishi Sawa didn't ask any further questions.

The only regret is that after Takanashi Yuko finished speaking, she immediately stopped her massage service and went to take a shower.

It's a bit of a pity that we didn't get to enjoy it.

--

Kuramochi Sakura doesn't seem to be making any special efforts to make friends; at least from what I've seen these past few days, she's mainly been playing with Takanashi Yuuko.

When other classmates asked her to befriend them, she would only give a few polite replies, and she would simply ignore those who saw through her deliberate approach and the male classmates' attempts to curry favor with her.

During Friday morning's break, Shiraishi Sawah sat in his seat, hands behind his head, looking out the window, familiarizing himself with the new scenery—because it wasn't the original window anymore.

He leaned back in his chair, tilting so much that he would fall over if anyone pulled him, and chatted idly with Takeuchi Arisu next to him.

"Shiraishi, have you heard? The outpatient building of Osaka University Hospital accidentally drank well water that was originally supplied to the toilets as drinking water for a full thirty years!"

Arisu Takeuchi spoke loudly to Hideaki Shiraishi, trying to get the person sitting in front of him to notice.

Unfortunately, Kuramochi Sakura didn't turn her head at all.

"That's what you don't understand. Actually, it's on the hospital's part, to increase repeat customers, a steady stream of business." Shiraishi Zexiu gave the hospital a thumbs up for its business acumen.

"How about we go on a school trip to Osaka and experience drinking toilet water?" Arisu Takeuchi suggested.

"Your suggestion is good, but don't say it again next time. Of course, if you can convince the rest of the class, I have no objection."

"Ugh, this is boring. But deciding where to go on a school trip is such a headache. I saw in the light novels that we should go somewhere with hot springs, right?"

“Hot springs…” Shiraishi Sawa thought for a moment, “It is indeed a place that easily evokes memories.”

Then Shiraishi Sawa felt Kuramochi Sakura's gaze.

It seems that they were still listening to the two of them.

"Ahem, anyway, I have no objection to the class deciding the location." Shiraishi Zexiu coughed to ease the awkwardness.

Kuramochi Sakura turned her body, her smooth hair drifting over Takeuchi Arisu's table.

It brings out a pleasant fragrance.

Takeuchi Arisu looked at her with delight. Was she finally going to talk to her?

"Shiraishi-kun, do you have time after school this afternoon?"

With just one word, he shattered Arisu Takeuchi's dream.

Damn it, why is it that bastard Shiraishi again? Why was Shiraishi born if he was born?

"What's up? Are you free?" It was Friday, and since I hadn't started working this week, I'd been going straight home after school these past few days.

"Are you coming to the department this afternoon? It'll just be Yuko and me. The activity room was just approved yesterday, and I've already bought the tables and chairs, but they're just randomly placed. We can arrange them according to our preferences."

"You can go, I don't mind." It's just strange that this request wasn't made by Takanashi Yuuko herself.

"Okay, let's go together after class this afternoon." After saying that, Kuramochi Sakura turned around and went back to do her own thing.

"Shiraishi, let's go to the restroom together," Takeuchi Arisu said through gritted teeth.

"No, I don't have those worldly desires." Shiraishi Zexiu coldly and ruthlessly refused.

"If you have no desire, then stay with me!" Takeuchi Arisu stepped forward and grabbed Shiraishi Sawa's arm, dragging him outside, but unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough.

"Alright, let's go. Why do you need someone to accompany you to the toilet, just like a girl?"

As soon as they stepped outside, Takeuchi Arisu's demeanor changed completely; he jumped up and hooked his arm around Shiraishi Sawa's shoulder.

"Damn it, Shiraishi, when did you become so close to Kuramochi-kun again?"

"We're not that close. We're just both close to Takanashi, so we're a little more familiar with each other than you guys," Shiraishi Sawa explained calmly, hands in his pockets.

"Then what's this about the clubs you were talking about? Shiraishi, I know you didn't join any clubs last semester, why did you make an exception for her this semester?"

"I was pulled in to make up the numbers. Kuramochi-kun started a club and needed three people, so I was the third one."

"Then ask..." Takeuchi Arisu had only uttered two words when Shiraishi Sawa interrupted her spellcasting:

"Don't ask anymore. From what I know, this club doesn't accept new members. They can accept mistresses, but not fourth mistresses."

"Ah!!!" Takeuchi Arisu grabbed Shiraishi Sawa's shoulders and started shaking him wildly, attracting the attention of other students in the corridor.

"I'm not giving up. What's the name of this department? I'll keep an eye out for recruitment information. Maybe I can become clubmates with Takanashi and Kuramochi."

"Department of Insect Research"

"It's alright." Takeuchi Arisu released his hand, instantly regaining his composure. "What's so interesting about studying insects? I need to think about whether I should continue liking Kuramochi-kun."

"You're afraid of insects? Takeuchi, you're such a jerk."

"idiot!"

......

--

This semester, there are only two classes on Friday afternoons, and the classes end exceptionally early.

I don't plan to pack my things now, since I can come back later after I finish in the club activity room.

It was still afternoon, and it was quite bright outside. Gazing into the distance, my eyes started to ache slightly.

"Let's go, I can't wait to decorate my little world!"

After the students in the classroom had their own things to do, only three people remained. Kuramochi Sakura showed a kind of excitement that was different from her usual behavior at school.

The approved activity room was actually on the first floor of the club building, which was the floor with the largest activity room in the entire building, and Shiraishi Sawa remembered that someone had been using it before.

But I quickly came to terms with it. After all, money can make the devil turn the millstone, and even more money can make the millstone turn the devil.

“This is the one!” Kuramochi Sakurai waved her slender hands like a traffic police officer giving instructions, showing them to Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko.

Standing outside the room, Shiraishi Sawa's height is sufficient to see the layout inside through the privacy film on the glass.

The room was really big, even bigger than the room where the student council held its regular meetings. In the middle was a beechwood table covered with a bright red tablecloth, the edges of which hung in the air and swayed in the breeze from the air conditioner.

The room was surrounded by chairs with soft cushions, clearly the most luxurious kind. There were also insect specimens in transparent plastic boxes, filling an entire basket.

A brand new carpet had been installed on the floor. In one corner of the room, a brand new refrigerator and snack box stood out from the surroundings. Equally out of place was a PS5 in another corner.

"The layout here is just something the school did haphazardly. I think it would be better to move this chair over there. Should I buy another computer to put here? After all, one game console might not be enough..."

Kuramochi Sakura was clearly still not very satisfied with this place.

Shiraishi Sawa was unable to empathize, so he couldn't offer any opinions. He looked around at his surroundings.

The club's name hangs above the entrance: Insect Research Department.

Next to it, in the equally large room next door, the name of a department was also hanging on the door.

High Heels Research Department.

Chapter 190: Due to the war, Shiraishi Sawa was expelled from the club.

Looking at the department name, Shiraishi Sawa paused for a second, then pushed the door next door. It wasn't locked; it was ajar.

Shiraishi Sawa immediately recognized the interior design style, which was exactly what Chiyo liked.

The minimalist lines are adorned with scattered embellishments, with black and white as the main colors and red and purple as the secondary colors, and the surrounding wallpaper has been replaced with off-white.

What it has in common with the neighboring establishment is the abundance of entertainment facilities and the fact that both the tables and chairs are of the highest quality.

So the two departments I want to join are separated by a wall?

That would be quite convenient for me.

"Baby dog? I haven't even told you where it is yet, how did you find it already?" The tall Chiyo Ichii appeared from around the corner, looking at Shiraishi Sawah at the door, and asked in confusion.

"How should I put it?" After thinking for a moment, Shiraishi Zexiu pointed to the sign for the activity room next to him.

"Insect Research Club? Ah, the only club that could be located here is Winter Melon Sauce, right?" Chiyo realized as she walked to the entrance of the Insect Research Club.

"Moshi moshi!" Chiyohan leaned out and greeted them, attracting the attention of the two people inside.

"Good afternoon, Takanashi-chan and Winter Melon-chan. Sigh, I thought I had chosen a feng shui treasure spot, but I didn't expect you to come too, Winter Melon-chan. I feel like the feng shui has been ruined."

Chiyo shrugged innocently.

With a sigh, knowing what was about to happen, Shiraishi Sawa Hide walked straight into the high-heeled shoe research department and chose a seat.

Just a few seconds after they sat down, as expected, the sound of Chiyo Ichiriki and Sakura Kuramochi bickering rang out from outside.

Out of sight, out of mind.

However, Kuramochi Sakura quickly appeared at the doorway, glanced inside the room, disdainfully crossed her nonexistent chest, and sneered:

"You silly woman, your decorating style is still so outdated. Your generation has completely ruined the concept of fashion in the home."

"A rustic person sees everything as rustic, except for the mud hut they make themselves, which is the highest level of sophistication."

......

Shiraishi Sawa Hide and Takanashi Yuko, who was standing next to him, exchanged a glance from afar, and then shrugged helplessly together.

Yuko Takanashi used to look worried, but now even she is used to it.

"Baby dog, which of the two activity rooms do you think looks better?" Chiyo suddenly turned her attention to Shiraishi Sawa, looking at him with a threatening expression.

Kuramochi Sakura also fixed her gaze on Shiraishi Sawa.

Shiraishi Sawa thought his opinion was completely unimportant, and he didn't want to comment on the matter. He just wanted to quietly play on his phone and wait for the two young ladies to finish arguing.

I even wanted to see what good stuff was in the refrigerator.

But now, the two young ladies are adopting a "we won't continue unless you speak" attitude.

"I think they're both beautiful, each with its own merits, so it's hard to compare them." There's no other way but to use a generic, all-purpose excuse to smooth things over in this situation.

However, it was clear that neither of the young ladies was satisfied with this answer, and Chiyo's pink lips revealed a dangerous curve.

"There's no such thing as an either-or statement. You can only say whether this room or the one next door looks better in your eyes."
