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

Do I really need to stand on the fox's side and help her win? The fox could clearly defeat Kuramochi Sakura.

"It's alright, Sakura, there's still a chance. Just follow the prescriptions your older sister gave you." Nao Ichiryu said cheerfully.

"I've been taking it for so long, but it's completely useless. The ones my mom gave me are the same!" After saying this, Kuramochi Sakura, on the verge of tears, pulled Takanashi Yuuko outside, while Takanashi Yuuko turned back and gave the three of them an apologetic look.

“Speaking of which,” Nao Ichiryu said, watching the two people walk away, “that girl next to Sakura Rei is really big. Chiyo, you seem to have lost a little.”

Chiyo immediately rolled her eyes and didn't respond to the topic of her mother. Shiraishi Sawa wanted to continue, but it wasn't appropriate.

The group moved forward, and it was Shiraishi Sawa's turn.

The original appearance of the Water Hanging Immovable Monk in front of him was no longer visible; only a vague humanoid shape could be discerned. Behind him, the stone wall with flame-like patterns was one of the few places not covered by moss.

Shiraishi Sawashu scooped a bowl of water from the nearby sink and splashed it onto the statue of Kasugata Fudo-kun, adding a touch of darker color to the Buddha image.

Shiraishi Zexiu clasped his hands together and bowed.

"I'm still running away."

"I dare not choose."

"I seem to be a bit greedy."

"so."

"Can you help me make a choice?"

Shiraishi Zexiu didn't ask about marriage or career, he asked himself this question.

He could only hear the quiet conversations of the tourists and students; no one gave him the answer.

It was as if no one in the world could make a choice; everyone remained silent.

No, there are people, or rather two people, who clearly have their own answers.

"Pick me."

This was the wish of the tall girl next to the boy, who was also offering prayers, but unfortunately, he couldn't hear it.

Dinner was at a nearby restaurant, again booked by the school.

"Goodbye, Auntie. See you tomorrow, Chiyo."

Since they had finished visiting all the attractions for the day, the students would take the school bus back to Bird's Mouth after lunch, so the mother and daughter prepared to go home as well.

"Ah, I had a pretty good day, but it could have been even better." Kurosawa Yuki had already driven over, and Ichiri Nao, sitting in the back seat, waved to Shiraishizawa Hide. "Next time, your aunt will take you on a trip. Today's sightseeing wasn't very good."

"I'll definitely do it next time, Auntie."

"Fox, talk to me, see you tomorrow!"

Chiyo made a gesture as if she were shooing away flies.

--

After the meal, everyone boarded the school bus together.

"Reporting to the team leader, team member Shiraishi Zexiu is back in position." Back in his familiar spot, Shiraishi Zexiu rubbed his legs, which were a little sore again.

"So there are eight people in our group. I always thought we were a maverick group of seven," Maeda Shusuke said in a distorted tone.

Ignoring the other party's sarcastic remarks, Shiraishi Sawa responded with a middle finger, drew back the curtains, and the orange-red sunset painted the sky into a painting. The streetlights were already on, and under the light, the roadside trees were tinged with warm red or yellow hues.

Gennai Ichiro, who was counting the number of people under the car door, finally got on the car and sat back in the last row.

The school bus slowly moved forward.

"I want to emphasize again, please pay attention to safety. Today, a male student from the next class almost broke his leg because he was playing too wildly. Although he didn't break it, he is now lying quietly in the hospital."

He'll only be able to look at white ceilings and bed sheets during this school trip, and he'll get scolded when he gets back. Learn from this, okay?

"Hi!"

"How pathetic, this is only the first official day, hahaha..." Takeuchi Arisu laughed.

People will indeed take this as a warning, but they cannot avoid mocking the boy's tragic reality.

"Stop laughing. Maybe he has a girlfriend, and she's feeding him grapes right now." Shiraishi Sawa Hide said sarcastically as he watched the two girls eating grapes in front of him.

Takeuchi Arisu was choked and speechless.

"Your mother is healthy and everything is going well. But I can accept Takagi mocking me, but Shiraishi, you're just making a fool of yourself."

"Shiraishi-kun, would you like some grapes? They've been washed." The moment Takeuchi Arisu finished speaking, Takanashi Yuko, who was in front of them, handed the box of grapes to Shiraishi Sawahide.

"Something to eat." Shiraishi Sawa took a thin-skinned grape that didn't need peeling, put it in his mouth and started chewing, looking innocently at Takeuchi Arisu.

"..."

"The Switch is so much fun," Arisu Takeuchi remarked, looking at the still-black screen of his Switch.

--

"Shiraishi, wanna play cards?"

"roll."

"It's no fun for you to stay here alone. Takagi and the others are with us."

"I really like the quiet environment now, which allows me to enjoy the comfort of being with my phone."

Back at Bird Words House, Shiraishi Sawa Hide, having finished his bath, resolutely went to the private bathhouse this time, ruthlessly refusing the several boys who came to persuade him.

“We won’t target you this time, Shiraishi,” the leading boy chuckled, scratching his head. “Let’s play normally. How about this, you won’t be punished if you lose? It’s to show our apology for yesterday.”

"You guys know what's good for you." Having received this promise, Shiraishawa followed them to the next room to play cards.

The room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

--

"Shiraishi."

Shiraishi Sawa, who had already played all his cards, looked at the message on his phone. It was from Soga Kiri Ren.

"What's wrong, President?" It's 8:30 PM now.

"Come to my and Miko's room."

"what happened?"

"I have something to ask of you, and I'd like to say it in person."

"coming."

Shiraishi Zexiu put away his phone. Everyone was still fiercely competing for last place. Today's punishment for last place was that, except for Shiraishi Zexiu, the other ten people would draw a turtle on him.

"I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back in a bit depending on my mood. Don't wait for me next time."

"Shiraishi, you're no longer hiding your true intentions by using the toilet as an excuse? You're not even going to be punished today!"

"Go back quickly."

......

Shiraishi Sawa opened the door and walked towards room 117 across the street.

There must be something important going on, after all, Shimizu Yoshiko is there too, and the president promised herself that she wouldn't act strangely when others are around.

When I was in the middle of the courtyard, I felt that the surroundings were quiet and lifeless. Only when I walked to the long corridors on both sides and got closer to the door did I find that every room was full of vitality.

Walking down the corridor between the girls' rooms, you could hear the girls' chattering voices from each dormitory. Occasionally, a girl who had just come out would run into Shiraishi Sawa, and whether she was a classmate or a senior from the second year of high school, Shiraishi Sawa would greet her with a smile.

The girls, who could have reported the presence of boys, mostly nodded shyly, responded with a greeting, and then quickly ran back to their original destination.

After confirming the room number was correct, Shiraishi Sawa knocked on the door.

"Please come in, there's no lock." It was Suga Wulian's cool voice.

He opened the door and went inside.

The layout of her room is the same as that of Takanashi Yuuko's room.

The fragrant breeze followed the girl into his embrace.

Soga Kirei also locked the door with the hands that were wrapped around Shiraishi Sawa's back.

Why are girls so skilled at this?

No, now is not the time to think about this.

"President, Vice President Shimizu will see it." However, Shiraishi Sawa looked around and found that Shimizu Yoshiko was not in the room.

"Miko went to take care of Oki-kun and is staying at the hospital tonight."

"..."

Shiraishi Sawahide fell into deep thought for half a second.

"Wait a minute, is that classmate from the next class who almost broke his leg, the one our teacher was talking about today, Captain Oki?"

"Ah."

The quiet room was filled only with the soft breathing of the two people.

There was no time to worry about Taichi Oki's current situation, because Hideaki Shiraishi sensed a 'danger' signal.

"Did the vice president bring grapes with her?" Shiraishi Sawa asked with a strange curiosity about whether his prediction would come true.

"Hmm? I didn't notice. Is this important? Can I ask now?"

“No need for that, so…” Shiraishi Sawa looked at Soga Kirei, whose face was now pressed tightly against his chest, and didn’t know what to do with his hands. “What do you want to ask of me, President?”

The right thing to do now is to shift the focus to serious matters.

"Sleep with me."

The idea just now was something Shiraishi Sawa hadn't considered.

"Ah?"

"I don't want to sleep alone, I'm scared. Shiraishi, will you sleep with me?" Soga Kirei clenched her fist tightly, yet cautiously.
