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

"Yuko, what's so funny! Tell me quickly!" Kuramochi Sakura asked excitedly when she saw Takanashi Yuko's shoulders trembling.

Takanashi Yuuko covered her mouth while looking at Shiraishi Sawa Hide.

Shiraishi Sawa waved his hand, indicating that he could say whatever he wanted.

So the girl who was trying to suppress her laughter became two people.

--

Shiraishi Sawah packed the cake into a box provided by the class, intending to eat it outside the school gate.

After all, eating only cream cake for lunch would definitely get boring.

The three of them chose a coffee shop and ordered two lemon teas—Kuramochi Sakura and Takanashi Yuuko shared one, while Shiraishi Sawa bought some fruit at the supermarket outside.

"Yuko, could you stay with me in the audiovisual classroom this afternoon?"

Takanashi Yuuko then turned her gaze to Shiraishi Sawa.

"Go ahead, go ahead. If I take you guys with me, I'll easily lose confidence. I've already decided that I'll spend the afternoon at the chess club."

The poor, unknown members of the chess club had no idea what kind of bloody storm they would face that afternoon.

Shiraishi Sawa was about to eat the cake when he discovered that the ugliest buttercream flower had been scooped up by Kuramochi Sakura, who then ate it in one bite.

He gave Shiraishizawa Hide a thumbs up, "Delicious!"

“Kuramochi-san, I know you might be trying to comfort me, but whether it looks good or not doesn’t affect whether it tastes good or not.” Shiraishi Sawah paused for a second, then said with a smile.

"Never mind then, one bite of cream is too greasy."

The truth is never as pleasant as a lie.

Chapter 233 Haunted House Horror Diary

A zelkova tree with few leaves displays its rugged branches. In the sunlight, where the branches sway on the ground, a boy stands idly, leaning against the slightly dry bark.

The sky was cloudless, making me want to sleep.

Today is October 21st, the second day of the cultural festival.

Shiraishi Sawa arrived at the perfect time today. Not too late meant he wasn't late, and not too early meant that some classmates had already picked up the goblin costume.

"Good morning, Kuramochi-san. It's a beautiful day today." Shiraishi Sawah greeted the girl who was walking slowly towards him from a distance.

Good morning, Shiraishi-kun.

Shiraishi Sawa noticed something interesting: Kuramochi Sakura often stood with her arms crossed in front of strangers, rarely speaking, like a black swan, exuding an overwhelming presence that made people afraid to approach her.

I haven't made any friends in my class yet.

However, once he entered the company of Chiyo and Takanashi Yuuko, and also himself and Soga Kirei who were brought along by these two, he completely lost all his imposing presence and became nothing more than an immature child who had not yet grown up.

"Director, how did yesterday's competition go?" Shiraishi Zexiu suddenly asked.

“There are dozens more than the bad woman!” Kuramochi Sakura said smugly. “But I’m so magnanimous. I see that she’s only at a disadvantage because of her time, so I won’t humiliate her and will let her off the hook.”

It was as if a little penguin proudly raised its head and looked at Shiraishi Sawa, saying, "Praise me!"

"Kuramochi-san is really impressive."

"That is!"

"But are you sure that when she enters Sang, she won't take the opportunity to mock you? That's not like her." Shiraishi Sawa Hide stroked his chin, pondering what Chiyo's personality might lead her to do.

“For example, ‘Sakura Rei, your time is one-third of mine, but you only have this few more people than me. If it were me, I would have committed suicide out of shame.’”

Kuramochi Sakura stared dumbfounded at Shiraishi Sawa, then, somewhat annoyed, pointed at the still-pondering boy.

"You...! You're a tapeworm of bad women, a bad man! How despicable! Seeing you now, I can still recall her face. All that ladylike manners you learned have been wasted!"

Kuramochi Sakura crossed her arms and turned to the side.

The little penguin waddled back and forth as it ran with its back to Shiraishi Zexiu—it took about ten steps to cover the length of one normal person's step.

"That's right, most people would do that once they enter the sang village. Secondly, I think it's not good to say 'etiquette has been eaten by dogs.' Dogs are man's best friend, and they shouldn't accept such a derogatory usage. I suggest changing it to 'etiquette has been eaten by foxes.'"

Shiraishi Sawah grasped the key point that wasn't the main point.

"Foxes are definitely the most annoying thing!" Kuramochi Sakura stomped hard on a fallen beech leaf in front of her, helping it turn into spring mud to protect the flowers.

She's too kind.

As Shiraishi Sawah joined her in crushing the fallen leaves, he asked:

"It's alright, Kuramochi-san. Today, as the commander-in-chief of the scare campaign, you can vent all your anger on the students. I'll be the first to lead the charge for you, and I'll never go west if you tell me to go east."

"Really?" The child's emotions changed quickly, and he was immediately drawn to the haunted house director by Shiraishi Sawa.

“Of course it’s true, I swear, I, Shiraishi Zexiu, never lie.” Shiraishi Zexiu said, extending his palm.

But I never said I wouldn't go south or north.

"Fine! It's a pity that this bad woman doesn't seem to be afraid of these things, otherwise I would have made her cry when she came to play." Kuramochi Sakura said indignantly.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the props are here! Everyone can choose whatever they want to wear. I'll take the Grim Reaper one. I wore something else yesterday, but I want to change it today."

Hashiguchi Joichi, one of the boys in the class who liked to scare people, walked over with a bunch of props and costumes along with other male classmates.

Kuramochi Sakura took a step back, then took several more steps back, hiding behind Shiraishi Sawa.

The first reason was because these clothes were rather scary, and the second reason was because among the props brought were a large number of electric or pure plastic snakes.

“I should have forbidden them from buying snakes when I donated the funds to them,” said Kuramochi Sakura, peeking out from behind Shiraishi Sawa.

Shiraishi Sawashu stepped forward to start picking out clothes, but unfortunately a problem arose—he was too tall, and many of the clothes simply couldn't fit into his clothes.

After Shiraishi Sawa left, Kuramochi Sakura, who was hiding behind a zelkova tree, saw 'Butcher Shiraishi Sawa' dressed in a suit that only the mask fit him, and laughed as she lightly pounded the tree trunk.

After all, clothes that are too small can easily make you look 'energetic' – like how Shiraishi Sawa looks now.

Moreover, the butcher's knife, which should have been exaggeratedly bloody, appeared somewhat small and lacked imposing presence.

"This won't do." Shiraishi Sawah sighed helplessly, took off his clothes, and threw them back into the pile.

After much deliberation, the only ghost costume that came to mind was a white cloth with two holes poked in it, the mouth area painted black and red, and specks of blood all over it.

The only advanced feature is probably the button in the middle that glows red when pressed.

For most people, clothes that go past the ankle or even drag on the ground are enough to show almost the entire calf of Shiraishi Sawa, but thankfully they don't make him look particularly 'energetic'.

"Everyone, please follow the instructions in the group chat and go to your assigned locations according to your roles!"

Having worked a day before, Hashiguchi Joichi began leading the ghosts to their designated spots.

Shiraishi Sawah bears a heavy responsibility; he is located at the final checkpoint in the haunted house's passageway, tasked with delivering the final scare.

It's a pity that there are no mechanisms he can operate in this area. He just needs to hide behind the door and follow the students in, occasionally putting his arm around their shoulder.

"Kuramochi-san, I'm counting on you to help me with when I'm ready to come out," Shiraishi Sawa said into his earpiece, while waving at the camera on the wall not far away.

The haunted house is only now starting to sell tickets and queue. Even if you are one of the first victims today, it will take at least ten minutes. Shiraishi Sawa has no interest in standing there and waiting with full concentration.

"I know, Shiraishi-kun. I'll let you know when they arrive, hehe... This guy jumped really high in fright." Shiraishi Sawahide heard this laughter before the other person's microphone was turned off.

I can already picture it: Kuramochi Sakura sitting in Hashimoto Nana's seat from yesterday, watching the feeds from a dozen cameras on the screen in front of her, gleefully waiting to see her classmates' mortified expressions.

I guess we're missing a bucket of popcorn.

But this has nothing to do with ghosts. As we all know, ghosts like to sit on the ground and play on their phones when they're not working.

Shiraishi Sawashu sat on the floor in the private space behind the door, taking out his phone. The floor was covered with a layer of sponge to prevent footsteps from making any noise, and it was actually quite comfortable to sit on.

Everyone knows he's an NPC in the haunted house today, so all the related news is about him.

"Baby dog, which ghost are you playing today? I'm going to scare you." (This is a line from a poem, likely a title or slogan.)

"What? I'm the one who scares people by pretending to be a ghost, not the other way around. What, are you going to remove your makeup and scare me?"

"This fox is naturally beautiful. I don't usually wear makeup, and if I do, it's just to enhance my appearance. What are you doing today? I haven't gotten out of bed yet. I'll come over and check on you later."

"You're so lazy! What's there to be scared of now that I've told you!"

"A foolish fox doesn't sleep when he's supposed to. Whatever. If you scare me, you can ask me anything. Su, are you coming or not? Want to come together?"

"Really?" Shiraishi Sawah wanted to see the shrine maiden's outfit and immediately grasped the key point.

"I'm still busy with the student council right now. Later, I might go with the student council members." - Suga Kirei.

“Okay, then I’ll go there by myself later,” Chiyo replied.

Shiraishi Sawa looked at the screen and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but the reason was not because his 'real' had not been replied to.

He opened Chiyo's chat window and sent a message:

Are you alright? Are you okay?

"Are you having an attack? (Confused.JPG)" The other party said without any mercy.

"How about I don't be an NPC today and play with you?"

"Are you alright? Are you okay?" Chiyo asked Shiraishi Sawa, returning the question to him.

"No, I just think you're a bit..." Shiraishi Sawa Hide waved his two thumbs in front of the screen several times before typing 'lonely'.

In this school, Takanashi Yuuko has many friends. Soga Kiriren has Shimizu Miko, Kuramochi Sakura has Takanashi Yuuko, and before unlocking the system, she would also play around with Takagi and the other two. It seems that only Chiyo has nothing.

Except for yourself.

"Aren't you bored? How about I find a classmate to be my NPC and I'll play with you?"

“Baby dog, who are you looking down on?” The other person sent a meme of a cat punching the camera, and then continued to message:

"Okay, I think I understand what you mean. Don't worry, it's fine. I was the same way in Qingye. I don't care about these things you're worried about. I'm too lazy to make meaningless friends."

I appreciate your concern, but just focus on your work and wait for me to pamper you. When I really need you to be with me, I don't think I'll hesitate to do so.

"Do fierce beasts not associate with pigs and sheep?"

"Is ivory coming out of a dog's mouth?"

"Indeed, I am a rich baby dog ​​with ivory in my mouth."

Kuramochi Sakura's voice came from beside her ear: "Shiraishi-kun, the first group of people will be there in about a minute or two. There are two men and two women. The girls are a bit timid."

"I'm about to scare you. Contact me if you have any problems."
