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

"Can you hear that? That happy dog ​​barking."

Kuramochi Sakura and Takanashi Yuuko covered their mouths and chuckled.

"We're almost there," said Kuramochi Sakura, pointing ahead.

Sarusawa Pond is located inside Kofuku-ji Temple. It is a small pond with benches around it for visitors to sit on.

The three of them randomly chose an empty seat and sat down.

There were still about ten people scattered around, admiring the carp in the pond by the pale moonlight.

"Little pigeons." There were several pigeons foraging for food next to the chair. They were not afraid of people and continued to stroll around nonchalantly as the three of them sat down, occasionally pecking at the ground. But when Kuramochi Sakura tried to touch them, they fluttered their wings and flew towards the moonlight.

Japanese pigeons are not afraid of people because Japanese people rarely eat pigeons.

When Shiraishi Sawa was a child, the roasted pigeon he ate was prepared by his parents, who hesitated a lot during the prayer process.

While still lost in thought, Shiraishi Sawa found his hand, which was resting on the table, being pulled by Takanashi Yuuko.

After a few simple tugs, it couldn't be torn apart, so Shiraishi Sawah let it go.

The reflection of the five-story pagoda in the distance is very clear even at night. As the release pond of Xingfu Temple, the banks are shaded by willows, carp swim in the pond, and turtles lazily bask in the moonlight in groups.

It is a place that can bring peace to one's soul.

It would be even better if Yuko Takanashi didn't scratch her own palm.

"By the way, Shiraishi-kun," Kuramochi Sakura, sitting on the far right, suddenly asked, "What are your thoughts on the school festival?"

"I don't have any ideas about the cultural festival yet."

Forget about thinking about the top-tier academic club, they haven't even figured out the cultural festival activities for their own club—the High Heels Research Club.

Wait a minute, could the bet the fox mentioned be about the final results of the two departments' cultural festival?

It seems very likely, and in that case, I'm even less likely to help.

"We plan to record a song together and then shoot a music video."

Kuramochi Sakura seemed to have planned this all along. Seeing that Shiraishi Sawa had no idea, she revealed her thoughts.

"Yuko and I have already discussed it, and she has agreed. I'll be asking you to be the male lead in the music video. You're the only male member of our top academic club."

"I'm not the only male member, I'm the only member." Shiraishi Sawa said, looking at the vice president and president beside him.

"No, Suga is also one of our members."

In reality, Soga Kirei only went to the High Heels Research Department; she never went to the Top Learning Department again after her interview.

Yuko Takanashi, on the other hand, is the opposite of her.

"Please let me think about it. It's not urgent anyway." Shiraishi Zexiu didn't intend to agree and used delaying tactics to stall for time.

I promised the fox I would help her win.

However, when Shiraishi Sawa finished speaking, he felt Takanashi Yuko squeeze his hand slightly harder.

"Okay, but filming and singing will have to be done at least half a month in advance. Please give me your answer as soon as possible, Mr. Shiraishi. I still hope you can participate."

“Sing? You expect me to sing? My singing voice…” That night at the villa, Shiraishi Zexiu was greatly shocked.

"No, no," Kuramochi Sakura denied immediately, then seemed embarrassed and a little guilty, "Yuko and I will handle the singing, the two of us are enough, it's not that I don't want you, Shiraishi..."

“It’s alright,” Shiraishi Sawa said with a smile as he saw Kuramochi Sakura’s voice getting softer and softer. “Kuramochi-san, you don’t need to feel guilty. I only asked because I know my singing level.”

"Thank you, but the main problem is that Yuko doesn't want to film the MV with anyone else, and I don't have any boys I can trust. If I have a bodyguard film it, the MV is basically ruined."

"Have you already chosen the songs? How do you already know how to shoot the music video?"

"I haven't decided yet, but, Shiraishi-kun, how many popular songs these days aren't about love? So a male lead and a female lead are basically a must," Kuramochi Sakura said earnestly.

“…Indeed,” Shiraishi Sawa thought for a moment and realized that was indeed the case. “I understand, but I can’t agree to that right now. I’ll give you an answer as soon as possible.”

His hand was squeezed even tighter. Shiraishi Sawa felt Takanashi Yuuko's slightly pleading gaze, but he quickly regained his composure and heard her speak:

"It's alright. If Shiraishi-kun doesn't want to film it, we can just find a girl to play the male lead, or we can just change it to a romance between girls. Don't make things difficult for him."

Shiraishi Sawa understood why the prayer time was only half a second, and why she wasn't even looking at him now; Takanashi Yuuko was fulfilling her promise not to cause him any trouble.

Shiraishi Sawa remained silent; she knew that Takanashi Yuko wanted her to take the film.

Because at least for the duration of that song, they would be an openly loving couple.

Goldfish swish their tails on the surface of the pond, and the reflection of the five-story building is both fragmented and round.

"What are your thoughts on tomorrow's free time? We'll be taking the bus back the day after tomorrow, which will be pretty much the last day."

"Regarding the question of discontinuing the club cultural festival," Shiraishi Sawa asked.

"Tomorrow? Universal Studios Japan in Osaka seems a bit far away..."

......

After chatting for a while, enjoying the night breeze and the scenery, it was quickly 8:30, and the three of them headed to the subway station together.

I only saw Soga Kirei at the subway station; Chiyo must have already gone back.

"President, how was tonight? Didn't you buy anything?" Shiraishi Zexiu asked, looking at Soga Kirei, whose hands were empty.

“I bought a lot. I had my classmate’s driver take them back first. She will send them to me later, and then I will give you the gift I bought for you.”

"Then I'll say thank you in advance. There are seats over there, please go and sit down, President."

To demonstrate gentlemanly manners, the subway cars were filled with men standing. In fact, if the girls sat closer together, there would be room for a few more people, but most of the men refused to sit.

Everything for the gentleman.

Of course, Shiraishi Sawah belongs to that very small minority.

Seeing Shiraishi Sawashuu standing on either side of girls, the boy began to withdraw into himself.

--

"It's so tiring, and so terrifying."

Upon arriving at Bird Words House, the men and women greeted each other goodnight in the courtyard before returning to their respective rooms. As soon as they entered, the three boys, except for Shiraishi Sawa, all plopped down on the communal sleeping platform in unison.

Shiraishi Sawa could vaguely see their souls drifting away.

The only one who seemed relaxed and at ease, Shiraishi Sawa, sat in the chair next to him and smiled:

"How should I put it, is it happy? It's the feeling of shopping with a girl."

"For the first ten minutes, the game is nothing." - Takagi Ryo.

"From the tenth to the twentieth minute, the game and the girl are evenly matched." - Maeda Shusuke

"We really want to play games with you in twenty minutes, Shiraishi! Damn it, I regret it!" - Takeuchi Arisu.

"This is the retribution you deserve for betraying me." Shiraishi Zexiu calmly drank a bowl of water.

"Well, at least I talked a lot with the pretty girl today." Takeuchi Arisu sat up from the communal bed. "I bought a Monopoly game in Nara today! Want to play? There are four of us."

"Let's play, but speaking of four people..." Takagi Ryo's eyes gleamed, "Tomorrow is free time, how about we play some PUBG together?"

"I think it's a good idea!" Maeda Shusuke said, his voice becoming exceptionally energetic as if he had been fully revived.

The three then turned their attention to Shiraishi Sawa.

"First, going on vacation and then playing games during the day—I don't need to elaborate on how lazy that is, right? Second, I have plans for tomorrow, so I suggest the three of you go find some unlucky random teammates. Or, I can play with you tomorrow night."

Shiraishi Sawa shrugged innocently and said.

"Youyue" means that five people plan to go shopping in Dotonbori and Kuromon Market tomorrow. Although it is shopping in a sense, it is not exactly the same as shopping.

After all, these two places have the most food options.

If he's out eating, Shiraishi Sawa Hide won't be sleepy at all.

Moreover, the advantage of having five people becomes apparent at this point. They can order only one serving of each type of food and eat together, so they can skip three meals a day and even finish all the snacks and delicacies in the area in one day.

"asshole!"

"Let's play tomorrow night then."

"Speaking of which, Maeda and Sakai have asked us to go shopping again tomorrow. Are we going?" Takagi Ryo asked.

“Go? I’d rather die than go!” Maeda Shusei replied in a tone that said, 'Do you even need to ask?'

"Really not going?" Takeuchi Arisu asked tentatively.

"I'm not going!"

“Then we’ll refuse for you. Tomorrow it’ll just be me and Takeuchi. I’ll have to be checked by Hoshino’s video every now and then, and I’ll get scolded again if they find out there’s one less boy.”

"Wait, are you all going?"

"Otherwise, what's the point of tomorrow?"

"I'll go as well."

Shiraishi Sawa couldn't help but applaud the three of them. Not bad, so young, yet so spirited.

Knowing full well it was a death trap, they still plunged in, without considering their own safety. What a courageous bunch!

--

"Being the world's richest man is no fun." After buying Takagi Ryo's last piece of land, the situation on the field was irreversible, and Shiraishi Sawa Hide undoubtedly became the biggest winner.

"Damn it! Let's play one more round. I'll definitely punish you, Nara Prince Ryu!"

"I'm not coming anymore," Shiraishi Zexiu said, placing the game money on the bed and stretching as he got up.

Before we knew it, it was already ten o'clock. "Do you guys have any instant noodles?" Shiraishi Sawa asked.

The three looked at each other, and Shiraishi Sawa Hideya knew the outcome.

"Never mind, I'm going out for a late-night snack. If you guys still want to play, the three of you can play together."

Shiraishi Sawa Hide had Hiramune Persimmon Leaf Sushi for dinner. He didn't eat too much because he had originally planned to go and eat some Nara snacks, but after seeing the shopping street that Ichiyo Ichiriki and Soga Kirei had chosen, he decisively gave up on that idea.

So now I'm hungry.

He pushed open the door, walked out, closed it again, and enjoyed the quiet moment.
