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

"Good luck, Shiraishi-kun. This half is yours too. This is the second gift I'm giving you. Please accept it."

"Hey hey, thank you so much for your generosity, I'll have some, okay?"

After hearing this conversation, Soga Kiri, who was taking small bites of tiramisu, placed her special little spoon next to the cake plate and pushed the cake, which she had only eaten a tenth of, in front of Shiraishi Sawa.

"Eat too, Shiraishi-kun."

Then Soga Kirei started staring blankly at the table.

Chiyo glanced thoughtfully at Soga Kirei.

Shiraishi Sawah couldn't eat anymore.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have eaten lunch no matter what.

Chapter 29 The Pursuit of Ritual is a Necessity of Life

Shiraishi Sawa rubbed his full stomach, called over a maid to dance, and then the three of them paid the bill and left.

"Let me walk around a bit more to digest, I'm really stuffed."

One of the perpetrators was walking leisurely ahead, while the other walked silently beside Shiraishi Zexiu.

“Let’s start with this pillar,” Shiraishi Sawah said, picking a pillar along the roadside. “There are fewer pedestrians here, and from this angle, if I crouch down to take a picture, I can use the tall buildings and the sky as a background, which should be pretty good. Let’s take a few pictures to test the waters.”

"Click-clack!"

“Perfectly Entering the Sang, President, why don’t you strike the same pose as her just now? I’ll take a few pictures of you too.”

Seeing that Chiyo had moved aside, Soga Kiriren obediently went up and stood there, but she didn't make any gestures or expressions.

"Oh, I forgot, you're not very good at making expressions, President. It's okay, I have my own way of taking pictures with a cold face."

Recalling the content of "Rules of Portrait Photography," Shiraishawa Hideaki chose to use a level, close-up shot to photograph Soga Kirei.

"President, don't look at the camera, look... just look at that Hobby Heaven Building next door."

"Click!" "Perfect!"

Shiraishi Sawa showed the two girls the photos one by one, his expression full of pride.

"So, Shiraishi-kun, which photo of mine is better, this one or this one of Soga-san's?" Chiyo suddenly asked.

Soga Kirei also fixed her gaze on Shiraishi Sawa's face.

Why did things unfold this way?

But Shiraishi Sawa Hide, without any hesitation, began to fabricate a reply:

"The two photos are not comparable. This one of yours focuses on your perfect harmony with the sky, with the building next to you creating a sense of both nature and modernity. Finally, you, the subject, add the finishing touch, making everything in the foreground a backdrop. Your beautiful yet slightly foxy face can instantly capture the heart of anyone looking at this photo..."

After finishing editing Shiraishizawa Hide's "Ichiyo" photo, she slid to the next picture and started editing Soga Kirei's:

"This photo of Chairman Su is completely different. It emphasizes loneliness and indifference. In the blank space in Chairman Su's gaze, there are only a few pedestrians, and these pedestrians are all dressed in dark colors. At this moment, the cold indifference in Chairman Su's eyes on the left side of the photo forms the strongest emotional tone in this photo, allowing the viewer to instantly feel the same chill..."

Shiraishi Sawah didn't know how he managed to create such a long piece of content from two photos that could at most be described as pretty but had no other meaning. Maybe that was talent.

"Well said, but don't say that again next time. Shiraishi-kun, you didn't grasp the point at all. Let me rephrase the question: If you had to choose one of these two to put in your wallet because it's pleasing to the eye, which one would you pick?"

Soga Kirei continued to fix her gaze on Shiraishi Sawa's face.

Shiraishi Sawahide let out a long sigh. "You forced me to do this."

He turned the DSLR camera around, pointing the lens at his face, and clicked!

Looking at the handsome face displayed on the screen, Shiraishi Sawa nodded in satisfaction.

"I'm going to put this in my wallet. Of course, my wallet can only hold myself or my girlfriend. Don't even think about it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you fooled me again, Shiraishi-kun."

"Phone booth! Next target found! Let's go!" Shiraishi Sawa walked towards the phone booth on his own.

--

"Shiraishi-kun, how about the three of us go and take a picture of that?" Chiyo suddenly said to Shiraishi-kun with great interest.

"What?" Shiraishi Sawa was still looking at the photos of the two girls in the phone booth he had just taken, deleting some inappropriate ones. Hearing this, he looked in the direction that Ichiyori Chiyo was pointing and saw an automatic photo booth. "Ichiyori-san, that big machine might not even cost as much as this one I have. That one costs extra."

"Could you take a picture of the three of us with this camera?"

"Why don't I just ask a passerby to take a picture for us?"

"Can you let us get the photos right away?"

"Why not just take a picture and send it to everyone?"

Once she entered Chiyo, she had no reason to act, so she wanted to take action, which gave Shiraishi Sawa Hide a sufficient reason.

“I think you’re right. The sense of ritual created by the automatic roadside photo booths is very strong and effective. Let’s go over there now, Mr. Su.”

Never succumb to violence, unless it costs you points – this is Shiraishi Sawa's current life motto.

Since Soga Kirei had been completely at everyone's mercy and didn't care about anything, Shiraishi Sawah decided to take her there directly.

The machine isn't particularly large; the space inside is just enough to accommodate three people, and if three people go in at the same time, they're bound to come into contact with each other.

"How about we take a group photo in pairs like this?"

Shiraishi Sawah is making a final effort.

"Then what's the point of coming here? Come in, Shiraishi-kun, Soga-san!" Chiyo Ichiri, who had already entered the automatic camera and was sitting inside, waved to Shiraishi Sawa and Soga Kirei, who were still standing outside.

Shiraishi Sawa planned to let Soga Kirei sit down first, and then he would sit down himself. That way, at worst, he would only run into Soga Kirei.

"Shiraishi-kun, you sit in the middle." Chiyo's words shattered this illusion.

"why?"

"First, if you sit on the far right, I'll become the most redundant one after the photos come out. Second, Suga-san and I only know you; we're not that close yet, so it's only fair that you sit in the middle. Third, am I not good-looking? Am Suga-san not good-looking? Isn't it a huge privilege for you boys to sit between Suga-san and me?"

“I am a gentleman, and I will not accept the third reason, but your first two reasons have convinced me.”

We can only deduct a few more points.

The space inside was indeed very crowded. After Soga Kirei closed the door outside the camera, Shiraishizawa Hide could feel himself pressed against the two girls, feeling their soft touch and smelling their fragrance.

Not daring to linger, Shiraishi Sawahide decisively took out his wallet, inserted coins, and prepared to start taking photos.

"Ready? 3. 2. 1. Say Cheese!"

"Cheese!"

All three of them said "cheese" to the camera, and Shiraishi Sawah heard Soga Rengoo's "cheese" sound very faintly but definitely.

The three people on the screen were all laughing. "So you can laugh, Soga-san? Why didn't you laugh when we were taking pictures?" Chiyo Ichii said in surprise, looking at the screen.

"Maybe I forgot to ask President Su to say 'cheese,' what a dereliction of duty on camera, hahaha."

"Take a few more pictures, then choose the best one to print."

After several more photoshoots, Hideaki Shiraishizawa finally escaped the photo room, leaving Chiyo inside to select photos.

Points: 2816

That's way too much deduction!!!

"Soga-san, come in and pick one too. Let's pick the two of us who are good-looking. As for Shiraishi-kun, let him fend for himself."

Soga Rengoku went inside, leaving only Shiraishi Sawashu outside.

"I don't care because I'm naturally beautiful, all my photos are top-notch!" Shiraishi Sawa shouted from outside.

When I checked my points just now, I found that I still have an unlimited group photo task. The last few photos already count as three people. Will I have a chance to complete this task today?

"Where are you, Takanashi-san?" Shiraishi Sawah sent a message to Takanashi Yuko on Line.

"Is there anything I can help you with at home, Shiraishi-kun?"

"Would you like to come visit Akihabara?"

Yuko Takanashi, who was still making clay in her Tahara apartment, saw the message and her face slowly turned red again. "Is this a date? Didn't he go with his friends? I should probably refuse."

"No thanks, Shiraishi-kun. I'm working on the video that's going to be released this week, so I'm quite busy. Never mind."

"If he invites me again, I'll go and see," Yuko Takanashi thought to herself.

"Okay, then forget it."

After sending the message, Shiraishi Sawah sighed. As expected, this task was not so easy to complete.

Chapter 30: Bag carriers must learn to save themselves

Chiyo quickly came out with three printed photos. The three of them put the photos away. Although they said they didn't care about Shiraishi Sawa, Shiraishi Sawa was very satisfied with the final photos. They were carefully selected.

"So, what should we do now?"

My watch showed it was only 4:30, but Akihabara was getting increasingly crowded.

"Of course I'm going to buy things, Shiraishi-kun. Didn't you notice that I didn't buy anything this afternoon? I didn't even buy the Sadaharu doll. It's because we still have a photo shoot plan, and it would be inconvenient for you to carry it if we bought it. Now that we don't have any plans, of course I'm going to buy all the figures, dolls, and clothes I've been eyeing."

"Excuse me for interrupting, Yiru Sang. You should be the one to bring up what you bought."

Seeing that Chiyo Ichiriki was completely ignoring him, Shiraishi Sawah sighed. He was almost used to it. He turned to Soga Kirei, who had been standing quietly beside him, and asked expectantly, "President Soga, what about you? Is your family cooking for you? Are you going home?"

Suwo Wulian shook her head. "My mother told me that her driver takes her home at eight o'clock, so she can only send a driver to pick me up after eight o'clock."

Shiraishi Sawa seemed to have seen a savior. "Great, President! Do you like shopping?"

I don't dislike it, but I wouldn't say I like it either.

This is not what Shiraishi Sawa Hide desires.

"If you want to go shopping, I'll go shopping with you. I don't know anyone here and I don't know where to go."

It's not about that, Mr. Su. What I really want is for you to enjoy shopping so you two can go together, and I can sneak off to a comic book store and read comics all night.

Shiraishi Sawa Hide, who was thinking this, didn't say it aloud, but simply responded with "Okay, okay."

When Shiraishi Sawa saw that Chiyo went straight into the nearest merchandise store instead of going back to the store she had just visited, she realized that this was going to be a long battle.

After spending half an hour shopping for clothes with the two, Shiraishi Sawah decided to save himself.
