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

"Were those who spread rumors doing it on purpose?"

"It shouldn't be. They all seem to believe it's true, and it's been heard about in all grades at Fujimatsu."

This rumor didn't originate from just one person. Two days ago, several classes from different grades from Fuji Junior High School came to visit. First, the students who visited your class spotted Takanashi, and then they shared the news with their seniors from Fuji Junior High. As a result, almost all the students on the Fuji Junior High school school trip knew about it.

Then, some of the students from our school who were in charge of receiving guests got to know the students from Tengchong Middle School a bit, and Tengchong Middle School told us students from Mingchuan about the rumor. It then gradually spread until it reached the entire school.

“I can understand spreading rumors, after all, I’ve been the subject of many rumors, but why do people believe such outrageous rumors?”

Shiraishi Sawah frowned, touching his nose with one hand, looking at the coffee cup in front of him, deep in thought.

"Because the rumors are highly credible, firstly, most students at Fuji Junior High School know about this incident, which happened last semester. Secondly, according to them, during the last semester at Fuji Junior High School, Takanashi initially maintained a good persona, but secretly did some bad things."

Most importantly, whether in Fujikuni or Akikawa, when everyone asked Takanashi for confirmation, they all received the same answer: acknowledgment…”

Seeing that Shiraishi Sawa Hide didn't speak, Soga Kirei also just kept her head down and stirred the coffee in front of her with the stir stick, remaining quiet as well.

......

"I still need to find Takanashi in person and ask her clearly. I thought she was just in a bad mood or had encountered something unpleasant these past few days, but I really didn't expect it to have reached this point."

Rubbing his temples, Shiraishi Zexiu sighed, somewhat regretting that he hadn't asked more questions at the beginning.

“Takayuki intentionally didn’t want you to know. She specifically came to me and Ichiru yesterday and begged us not to tell you, but we felt that it was really not a good idea.”

"Sigh, if nothing unexpected happens, she told all her classmates not to tell me about this. I'm really speechless."

If it weren't for Chiyo and Soga Kirei, he probably wouldn't have been able to understand the cause and effect of the incident until it was over.

--

Classroom of Grade 1, Class A.

Outside the classroom, Soga Kirei stood by the corridor, looking at the azure sky.

Inside, Shiraishi Sawah was standing on the podium.

"The takoyaki show hasn't arrived yet, and I'd like to ask everyone what they think about it."

Almost all the students in the class had arrived, but for a moment no one spoke.

“First of all, in my own opinion,” Shiraishi Sawa continued, ignoring the lack of response, “I absolutely do not believe that Takanashi would do those things, even if she herself admitted it.”

“It’s not just me who is her classmate, everyone is her classmate. Everyone has seen what Takanashi does every day.”

"Even if all of these things were true, as long as she didn't do these things at this school, she shouldn't be treated like this."

"Although it may sound presumptuous, I will try my best to find out the truth."

“Actually, we don’t believe it either…” Finally, someone in the class spoke up. It was Nana Hashimoto. “Yuko and I have been good friends for a long time, and I have never experienced the rumor of using a ‘good persona’ to lull friends into complacency and then take advantage of them. On the contrary, Yuko has always been helping me.”

“We wanted to help her, but she insisted that these were all facts and refused to say anything except that we should not tell you.”

Once one person started it, the class quickly became noisy, but everyone was on Takanashi Yuuko's side.

“Okay,” Shiraishi Sawa waved his hand, drawing everyone’s attention back. “Then I have one thing to ask of you all: I hope that after Kotori swims into the classroom, you won’t ask her to pay too much attention to her. Just don’t look at her with strange eyes. Thank you everyone.”

.......

"You've come, Fox-san."

When Shiraishi Sawa walked out of the classroom, the person standing in the corridor was no longer Soga Kirei, but a taller Ichiyori Chiyo.

The girl's silhouette against the blue sky and green trees created a stunning scene, but unfortunately, Shiraishi Sawa was in no mood to appreciate it.

"How did it go?" Hearing the door open, Chiyo Ichiyori turned her head and looked at Shiraishi Sawa.

"There's nothing wrong with the class. Everyone knows what kind of person Takanashi is, and she really hasn't done anything bad in Akikawa. Where's the student council president?"

"Suga-san is still the class monitor, and she has to go back to handle some class affairs. She went upstairs first when she saw me. What are you going to do now?"

Shiraishi Sawa nodded, then said:

"What else can we do? We'll wait for the bird to swim over and then interrogate her until she tells us the truth. Then I'll make a plan based on the truth."

"What if all of this were true?"

"Impossible." Shiraishi Zexiu denied it without even thinking.

"It seems that Takanashi has really gained your trust, Baby Dog. Although I'm not very familiar with her, I don't think she would do such a thing."

"Trust? As for that, I have 100% trust in all of you, whether it's you or the chairman. I wouldn't be afraid even if you pointed a gun at me."

"If I have such rumors, will you help me debunk them?" Chiyo asked instead of refuting.

"Your dad will chop them down one by one."

"We can't cut them all down."

"I'll help your dad chop it up."

"What a pity, my dad should be able to cut down all the way, but he won't be able to see your heroic figure, baby dog."

"It's okay, you'll probably see me chop someone up today."

Hearing the whispers coming from the corridor, Shiraishi Sawah tightened his grip on the handrail.

"People are always drawn to gossip," Chiyo Ichii comforted, noticing Shiraishi Sawa's expression.

"I know, but we have to make an example of someone. If anyone crosses the line, I will definitely teach them a lesson. By the way, Baby Fox, can you protect me? I'm really angry right now, and if I really take action, it might be a bit too much."

Shiraishi Sawa's anger wasn't just directed at the classmates who were gloating and mocking him, but also at Takanashi Yuko herself; however, he could only transfer it to others for now.

"Hmph," Chiyo snorted, looking at Shiraishi Sawa, "You were so full of energy before, but you've become so timid after what you said."

Don't worry, as long as no one is injured, there won't be a ripple. Even if you really do kill someone, my family has ways to make sure you get away scot-free.

"Then I'm relieved." Shiraishi Zexiu smiled slightly at her.

Chiyo noticed the forced smile.

"It's just that Sakura wasn't there. If she were at school, given her relationship with Takanashi, when this news came out the day before yesterday, the students of Fujichu Middle School might have had a less happy or even miserable school trip. And if she were to start a fight, she would definitely end up with someone missing an arm or a leg."

"Is it that fierce?"

"You don't actually think Kuramochi is a gentle and magnanimous young lady, do you?"

"That seems to be the case," Shiraishi Sawah nodded.

Does she know about this?

"They probably don't know yet. We haven't told her."

"......"

"It's almost eight o'clock, why hasn't Takanashi arrived yet?"

--

"Um, Takanashi-kun, I wanted to ask you what the price is for sleeping at Meikawa Middle School now? Tokyo is more expensive than Kyoto, have your prices gone up?"

[Ding! Mission triggered!]

"Leave me alone."

Shiraishi Zexiu shook his head to dispel the system, preventing it from blocking his view.

She slammed into the boy hard.

I'm really angry.

--

"Don't cry, let's go back to the classroom."

Shiraishi Sawa looked at Toriyuu Yuuko, who was squatting on the ground and crying uncontrollably, and said in a low voice.

This was also the first time that Shiraishi Sawah had seen the conscious Takanashi Yuko cry.

She gave a wink to the girls who were already peeking out of the classroom door, and Hashimoto Nana and Uemura Ayane immediately ran over to help Takanashi Yuuko, and the group finally returned to the classroom.

"I'm going upstairs to my class now. Call me if you have any questions." Chiyo gestured with her eyes.

"it is good."

--

After helping Yuko Takanashi back to the classroom, no one surrounded her to offer any comfort or concern; instead, they all returned to their seats—as requested by Hideki Shiraishi.

Hideaki Shiraishi simply sat quietly in his seat, watching Yuko Takanashi's trembling back as she sobbed.

The trembling gradually subsided, and before the teacher came in to start the lesson, Takanashi Yuuko had already straightened up, taken out her book, and was calmly reading it.

Since he couldn't see her face clearly, Shiraishi Sawa Hide had no idea what state she was in, so he simply sat down in the empty seat that Kuramochi Sakura had left.

But it seemed like Takanashi Yuuko was deliberately avoiding him. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Shiraishi Sawa Hide change his position and turn towards the window, his loose hair covering his profile.

Left with no other choice, Shiraishi Sawa returned to his seat, ignoring that it was class time, and poked Takanashi Yuuko's back.

"Little Bird, tell me the truth."

“What they said is the truth.” Takanashi Yuko said this only in a slightly tearful voice, and then pulled her chair forward.

"I'm going to get really angry if you do this. Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm already angry that you deliberately kept this from me, but this will make me even angrier."

“I’m sorry. But what they said is the truth, and I did it all.”

Shiraishi Sawa didn't press the matter further, firstly because he was in class, and secondly because Takanashi Yuuko wouldn't answer if he continued to ask.

I learned from chatting with my classmates this morning that over the past two days, Hashimoto Nana and the others had repeatedly asked and confirmed the allegations, and without exception, they all received the answer, "I did it all."

However, when asked about her reasons for doing so, Takanashi Yuko remained silent.

Shiraishi Sawah firmly believes there's more to all of this than meets the eye.

The system in his mind had been calling out a lot, but he hadn't paid any attention to it. Taking advantage of this time, Shiraishi Sawah pulled up the system.

Let's look at the task we just completed:

[Mission Description: The boy in front of you used vulgar and offensive language towards Yuuko Takanashi. This is intolerable! Raise your righteous fist and teach him a lesson!]

[Task Rewards:]
