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

"If I want to cut back on spending, I can only try to avoid communicating and contacting the opposite sex. Although I could avoid it before, I didn't completely stop talking to them. Now, a sudden change would probably have a big impact on my reputation, which is not advisable."

Shiraishi Sawah put down the dumbbells and began indoor leg exercises, while pondering a solution.

A few minutes later, Shiraishi Sawa picked up his phone and edited a status update on Line.

"I have a sore throat recently and it's not advisable for me to speak. Please understand."

After blocking my family and relatives so they wouldn't worry, I thought about it and found my contact, Ichiyo Ichiro. I also blocked her on this post before sending it.

Shiraishi Sawa noticed that the description of the previous reward mission included the phrase "[Only this time]", which means that even if he finds a new person at school who can trigger the mission, he shouldn't encounter a mission that requires verbal communication again, and he won't have to change his mind and get into trouble like he did today.

There's no need to add everyone on Line. Just carry your phone with you and use the notes app in uppercase to express your thoughts.

Shiraishi Sawah threw his phone onto the bed and continued exercising.

"Phew~", Shiraishi Sawah let out a long breath after spending about half an hour completing the exercise goal he had set for himself.

The boy threw his clothes into the washing machine and went to take a bath.

After hanging up the laundry, he copied a piece of Wang Xizhi's "Picking Chrysanthemums" calligraphy. By then it was already past ten o'clock. Shiraishi Zexiu lay down on the bed and picked up his phone.

You have multiple unread messages.

He gave perfunctory replies to the messages of concern sent by several girls in his class whom he was completely unfamiliar with.

Takagi Ryo: "What's wrong, Shiraishi? You were fine when school ended this afternoon."

Takagi Ryo was the classmate who sat next to Shiraishi Sawa when Shiraishi Sawa first came to the class. At that time, the seats were still randomly assigned. Takagi Ryo was a very easygoing and outgoing person. Shiraishi Sawa, even though he was of the same sex, would not deliberately befriend him, but he would not deliberately distance himself either. So, over time, the two became relatively familiar with each other.

"It's nothing, I just felt a bit of a sore throat last night, but it's probably just a simple inflammation, don't worry. I probably won't talk much for a while, I'll just type on my phone instead."

"Okay, let's go to the hospital to get it checked out. It's not expensive anyway."

"I've already bought some medicine."

"Oh, hehehe, I'll show you something good! Photos.JPG Photos.JPG Photos.JPG Photos.JPG"

Before the images even fully loaded, Shiraishizawa knew what they were. Sure enough, they were photos of several comic book covers, and the authors of these comics seemed a bit lazy, as they didn't draw the clothes very well.

"It's all new, but I won't send you the contents, I'm afraid it'll get banned. I only read half of it today, and I couldn't continue reading after that 'post-coital period'. Maeda and I both think it's great! We really think it's good! I can lend it to you whenever you want to read it."

“I’m not interested in these things.”

Shiraishi Sawah saved them one by one.

"Come on, don't slap me in the face later. I'm going to play games now, bye."

"No, bye-bye."

Only one person remained unanswered.

The earliest unread message from "Tokyo is so boring" was just: "What's wrong, Shiraishi-kun?", but after Shiraishi Sawa didn't reply for half an hour, it evolved into various angry emojis and question marks. The latest unread message was three minutes ago:

"Shiraishi-kun, you have lost me forever."

Tokyo is so boring is a netizen that Shiraishi Sawa met on a Google forum several years ago. At that time, the forum was discussing Japanese calligraphy and Chinese calligraphy. Shiraishi Sawa couldn't stand the behavior of several netizens who were frantically mocking modern Chinese calligraphy. He took it upon himself to hurl insults at them in a mix of Chinese and Japanese profanities. Later, Tokyo is so boring also joined the battle, but he sided with Shiraishi Sawa.

Later, the two comrades-in-arms appreciated each other and added each other on Line. They found that they were both quite interesting and not much different in age, and gradually became close online friends.

The first impression Shiraishi Sawa Hide of "Tokyo is so boring" was that he was a very effeminate chatterbox, and one whose words were not very reliable.

It wasn't until three months ago that Shiraishi Sawa Hide realized that Tokyo was so boring because it was actually a girl.

When the two first added each other on Line, Tokyo was so bored that she told Shiraishi Sawa that she was a man, which was why Shiraishi Sawa was eager to activate the system but could only become an online friend with her.

Three months ago, Shiraishi Sawa told him that Tokyo was so boring because he was going to Tokyo to attend high school in a month and wanted to ask her, a local, what interesting places there were in Tokyo or what precautions to take.

At the time, Tokyo was so boring that she first emphasized that the two of them could just be online friends for life and there was no need to meet in person. After Shiraishi Sawa agreed, she took a few photos of famous Tokyo attractions and sent them to him.

Later, Edogawa Sawahide discovered in the reflection of the railing in one of the photos that the person holding the phone was clearly a long-haired girl. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, he was able to confirm that the netizen was a girl by combining the occasional suspicious points that had appeared in their chats over the years and the consistently feminine tone of their conversations.

Shiraishi Sawa, who at the time believed that online chatting was also a form of communication recognized by the system, regretted it for a long time.

When Shiraishi Sawah questioned Tokyo Is Boring, she immediately admitted it, saying that she initially said it because she thought it was fun, and since Shiraishi Sawah kept believing it, she just kept acting it out.

After learning that Tokyo is so boring was a girl, Shiraishi Sawa started to consciously avoid chatting with her. Tokyo thought that Shiraishi Sawa was angry because she had lied to him, so she apologized frantically and hoped that Shiraishi Sawa could forgive her. Not wanting to say the reason, Shiraishi Sawa thought that since they had already chatted for so long, it wouldn't hurt to chat a little longer.

Who knows when this system will start? It doesn't even give a progress bar. There's no need to lose a friend I get along with, so the two resumed their previous relationship.

"Sorry, Bored Guy, I just did exercise, showering, and calligraphy practice all at once, and I forgot to check my phone. Sorry!"

"She's angry, the kind you can't appease." Tokyo is so boring replied instantly.

"Kneel down.JPG, please forgive me!"

"Send me a hundred different apologies, and I'll forgive you."

"The first day after losing my best friend isn't so unbearable. I've decided to use sleep to further ease my grief. Goodnight, my former best friend, Bored Guy."

"Come back here and get your opal business. Fine, I'll forgive you for what you did!"

Hideaki Shiraishi picked up the copy of "Picking Chrysanthemums" he had just made, took a picture, and sent it to Tokyo. So boring.

"Bored Guy, this is a piece I just copied! You're the first person I'm sharing it with, so please forgive me for that."

"The king's calligraphy copybook? It's a bit different from his usual style." The other person's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Yes, the momentum is more obvious, the brushstrokes are more unrestrained, and I also really like the content of this post."

The two quickly began discussing the content of calligraphy.

Time flies by.

"It's almost 11 o'clock, Bored Guy, time to sleep. Tomorrow isn't the weekend."

"Indeed, I'll be very busy tomorrow too. Goodnight, Shiraishi-kun."

"Good night."

Yawning, Shiraishi Zexiu turned off the light and turned over to sleep.

Chapter 5 The Unique Guild Master Soga Kiriren

"Legends never die When the world is calling you..."

The best way to hate a song is to set it as your alarm clock.

"Ahhhh, stop dying, stop dying!" Shiraishi Zexiu reached out from under the covers and slid the alarm clock to turn it off. He reluctantly sat up in bed, his head still hanging down, his eyes still closed.

"Legends never..."

Five minutes later, the alarm rang for the second time, but it was turned off before the first line of the song was even finished.

I glanced at the screen; it was 7:05.

Shiraishi Sawa shook his head vigorously, jumped off the bed, and ran to the mirror in the shower room to start washing up.

After washing up, Shiraishi Sawa went to the balcony and touched the clothes he had washed yesterday. They weren't completely dry yet. He then went back to his room, pulled out a storage box from under the bed, and took out another set of school uniforms to put on.

I took some ingredients from the refrigerator, made myself a sandwich, put it in a bag, and went out to catch the tram.

After getting off at Kyobashi Station, there were still several hundred meters to walk to Meikawa High School. Shiraishi Sawah picked up the breakfast he had made and ate it as he walked, finishing the last bite just as he reached the school gate.

After being checked by the disciplinary committee members at the school gate, Shiraishi Zexiu entered the campus. As usual, he maintained a cold and calm expression, walking forward with his eyes fixed only on the teaching building in front of him.

I also glanced at the girls in pleated skirts in Yu Guangzhong's photos.

"Shiraishi, is your throat feeling any better?"

Takagi Ryo, who was chatting with his classmates while peeking out of the corridor window, shouted and asked Shiraishi Sawa Hide when he saw him coming up the stairs. Instantly, all eyes in the corridor turned to the two of them.

Shiraishi Sawah sighed, waved to him, and quickly walked closer before picking up his phone's memo app.

"I'm still not feeling well."

"Oh, remember to see a doctor if you continue to feel unwell."

Yes, I will.

Shiraishi Sawa entered the classroom through the back door and sat down in his seat by the window.

He took out the books and stacked them up. After stacking them to a certain height, he rested his head on them and stared blankly out the window.

"Shiraishi-kun..."

Shiraishi Sawa looked up and saw a girl from her class holding a small handbag, looking at her.

"I heard you had a sore throat, so I bought some throat lozenges and throat-soothing medicine here especially for you." The girl handed over the bag with both hands.

Is this a girl surnamed Sano? Shiraishizawa Hide couldn't quite remember. He took the handbag from the girl's hands, wrote "Thank you very much, you don't need to spend so much next time" in his memo, showed it to the girl, and bowed to thank her.

After the girl left happily, just as Shiraishizawa was about to continue reading, another girl approached him with a box.

"Shiraishi-kun, mine is too..."

After receiving repeated condolences from the four girls, Shiraishi Sawa finally found peace and quiet.

His male classmate sitting to his right, Arisu Takeuchi, glared at Hideaki Shiraishi through gritted teeth.

"Damn it, Shiraishi-kun! I posted on social media pretending to be pitiful when I was sick, but why didn't a single girl bring me medicine?! Shiraishi-kun, you're outrageous and should be executed on the spot!"

"Everyone, please sit down," said Ichiro Gennai, the homeroom teacher and math teacher, as he entered the classroom. The first lesson was math.

"Everyone, please hand in the homework assigned yesterday."

Shiraishi Sawa raised his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes, and patted Takeuchi Arisu's table.

When was the assignment due?

"The homework the teacher assigned in the last period yesterday, didn't you know, Shiraishi-kun? I get it," Takeuchi Arisu began to gloat, "This is God's punishment for you being so popular with girls!"

Shiraishi Sawa recalled that he activated the system during math class yesterday, and was completely distracted throughout the class, not paying attention to anything being taught. After thinking about it, he decided to tell the teacher frankly that he hadn't written anything.

He stood up and walked over to Gennai Ichiro's side.

"I'm sorry, Gen-nei-sensei, I forgot to write that."

“It’s alright if you didn’t write it, Shiraishi…” Gennai Ichiro waved his hand when he saw that the person who hadn’t written it was Shiraishi Sawa Hide, but then seemed to remember something and changed his words:

"No, even if you know all the answers, you'll still be punished if you don't do your homework. Here's what we'll do: come to the teacher's office at noon, and I'll give you a task."
