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

Soga Kirei became increasingly dejected, gently biting her lower lip with her upper teeth, as if she wanted to say something.

After thinking it over, Shiraishi Sawa decided to make up an excuse.

"Here's the thing, President. I need to prepare for an all-around knowledge competition called Zhiqing. I need to free up more time to prepare for this. I really don't have time for meetings."

Shiraishi Sawa, who was focused on the food in front of him and didn't look around, didn't notice that Soga Kiri's gloomy oval face gradually brightened after hearing those words, and she seemed to relax all of a sudden.

Shiraishi Sawa was slightly disappointed because none of the food was hot, and eating only cold food was not quite right.

Having eaten his fill, Shiraishi Sawa saw that it was still early and there was no need to go back immediately, so he joined the members of the organization department to play UNO.

It wasn't until nearly seven o'clock that the student council members gradually left.

Shiraishi Zexiu didn't leave. Since today was, to some extent, his farewell party, he felt he should also go and wrap things up.

By 7:30, most people had left, leaving only the department head, Shiraishi Sawa, and the others to clean up the scene.

First, some unopened and still edible snacks were divided up among the group and put into their own bags. Then, the chairman began to assign tasks to everyone.

Some people went to return the rented board games, some went to return the target, and Shiraishi Sawa, who was not originally scheduled, followed the two presidents to clean up the food area.

The most complicated task in the food section is garbage sorting.

Japan's garbage sorting system is ridiculously detailed and strictly enforced. Tokyo's enforcement is even more stringent. According to regulations, garbage can be categorized into combustible waste, non-combustible waste, plastic bottles, recyclable plastics, etc.

Then some garbage can be further subdivided into several sub-project garbage, and each sub-project garbage can be further divided into grand-project garbage, and you can even make up a garbage family tree.

When Shiraishi Sawa first arrived in Tokyo, he suffered a lot when he had to take out the trash himself.

At this moment, Soga Kirei walked over and pointed to several items to Shiraishi Zexiu, saying, "These cannot be thrown away as a whole. The contents must be separated. This will be tested in the All-Around Knowledge Competition. Please remember this, Shiraishi."

"Oh, is that so? Does the president have gloves? I'll separate them first," Shiraishi Sawa said after nodding.

He took the disposable gloves handed to him by Soga Kirei and began to separate the trash, while Soga Kirei guided him on the specific details of trash sorting.

"Garbage sorting is a must-test topic in every knowledge competition, Baishi, you must remember it."

"President, have you participated in this competition before?"

"Yes, I participated in it in my first year of high school."

"What rank are you, Chairman?" Shiraishi Zexiu asked with a hint of curiosity.

"The top 0.5% won the grand prize."

He delivered the harshest words in the most nonchalant tone, yet his presence was still quite powerful. Shiraishi Zexiu gave Soga Kirei a thumbs up.

"I'll also teach you how to win the grand prize."

Soga Kirei told Shiraishi Zeshu in her heart.

Chapter 58 Wearing Formal Clothing Shows Respect (Please Read Further)

"Takanashi-kun, it's not that serious. You're not going on a blind date, there's no need to dress up like that all the time, is there?"

Shiraishi Sawa, with his hands behind his head, lay on the sofa chewing on a cookie stick, idly staring at the ceiling and complaining.

"No, I have to make a good impression on my first meeting with someone I met online. Anyway, it's not time yet." Takanashi Yuko's voice came from her room.

"Then why did you tell me to get ready to leave at three o'clock?"

After chewing and swallowing the biscuit, Shiraishi Sawa looked at his watch; it was 4:30.

After receiving the notification, Shiraishi Sawah spent ten minutes putting on a relatively formal and appropriate outfit and tidying himself up a bit, because he was told that the place to eat tonight would be quite upscale.

And so we've waited until now.

"I thought you'd take a long time, Shiraishi-kun. I don't know anything about boys. Wait a moment, I'll pick one right away."

Half an hour later, Shiraishi Sawa, who was almost asleep, finally heard the door open.

Turning his head to look over, Shiraishi Sawa was momentarily lost in thought.

It was clear that Takanashi Yuko had curled her hair in the room; her seaweed-like black curls cascaded down her chest, and she wore a black off-the-shoulder high-slit evening gown with a bright white corset in the middle, which made her skin appear as white as snow.

Under the soft room light, she resembled a blooming white lotus, while her fair and alluring legs exuded a silent beauty against the black backdrop.

"Does it... look good? This is the first time I've ever dressed like this..." Takanashi Yuuko asked shyly, appearing a little awkward under Shiraishi Sawa's gaze.

“I’m sorry, I have no reason to say anything like ‘it looks bad’,” Shiraishi Sawa nodded approvingly after regaining his composure. “You’ve made my job much more difficult. If the person on the other end was a boy, I probably wouldn’t be able to stop him.”

"She said yesterday that she wanted to wear a formal dress today, but I didn't have one, so she gave me this one. Is it too revealing...?" Takanashi Yuko kept pressing down on the high slit, controlling her movements.

"From my perspective as a man, it's not too explicit if only I'm watching, and since we're taking a taxi there, no one will see us, so it's fine."

"Okay, let's go then. It's quite far. I don't know if we'll have enough time."

The destination was a restaurant called Matsushibashi in Suginami Ward. Shiraishizawa Hide had never heard of this restaurant before, but judging from his estimation of the restaurant's financial resources, it was definitely due to his own ignorance.

Because Suginami Ward is located in the western part of Tokyo and is some distance from Tahara, the two arrived close to seven o'clock.

Arriving at the restaurant's entrance according to the address, Shiraishi Sawah became even more certain of the restaurant's high-end status. There were three men in black clothes and sunglasses standing in two rows at the entrance alone. However, it was unclear whether these were the men's private men or brought by the restaurant. After noticing Shiraishi Sawah and his companion, the six men nodded slightly in greeting before turning their gaze back to the front.

The welcoming ceremony was quite special, to say the least.

As soon as Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko entered, a young woman in a dark-colored dress approached them. "Excuse me, are you Ms. Takanashi and Mr. Shiraishi? I am the receptionist of this establishment."

Takanashi Yuuko seemed a little flustered because she had never experienced anything like this before, and she didn't know where to put her hands. Shiraishi Sawa Hide had also never experienced this before, but he was thick-skinned.

"Yes, it is us. May I ask if Ms. Kuramochi is here to face us?"

"Yes, please follow me. Our dining area is on the second floor. This is the elevator."

Big cities are big cities; you have to take an elevator to get to the second floor.

"Kuramochi told me she was wearing a navy blue dress today..." The elevator had reached the second floor, and the elevator doors slowly opened. Takanashi Yuko took out her phone from her bag and described to Shiraishi Sawa Hide what Kuramochi Sakura should be wearing today.

“No need,” Shiraishi Sawa interrupted Takanashi Yuko, who was about to continue her description, “I’ve already found her.”

Takanashi Yuuko looked up in confusion.

The dining area on the second floor, which spans at least several hundred square meters, is completely empty except for one table in the very center, where a bright blue-clad woman sits, with two motionless waiters standing beside her.

There is no fraud involved; Kuramochi Sakura is a genuine young girl, and a cute one at that.

My first impression of Shiraishi Sawa was that he was exquisite and cute, as delicate as a doll, both in his facial features and his clothes.

The girl was resting her chin on one hand, lightly tapping her cheeks with her fingers, pouting slightly, and looking at Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko through the elevator door with a mischievous look in her eyes.

Shiraishi Sawa was not intimidated, but he was not the main character or even the supporting character today. He was just a minor player, so he stepped back and let Takanashi Yuko stand in front to highlight the main role.

Takanashi Yuuko noticed it too, so she opened her mouth and asked the girl,

"Excuse me, are you Kuramochi Sakurai?"

The girl nodded, stood up, and walked over.

She's not very tall, probably around 1.6 meters, but that only makes her look even cuter.

Taking advantage of this moment, Shiraishi Sawa used [Detect]:

【Name: Kuramochi Sakura】

Age: 16

Intelligence: +4

[Stamina: -3]

[Charm: +4]

[Intelligence: Triggerable quests (quests will randomly appear during your interactions with the target)]

Seeing that the other party did not speak but just walked over, Takanashi Yuuko became even more uneasy, while Shiraishi Sawa's gaze went straight past Kuramochi Sakura and looked at the Tokyo night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

In the far distance, there were rows of tall buildings, with neon lights flashing and intertwining. At this moment, Shiraishizawa felt that he had seen the true appearance of Tokyo's neon city.

Nearby, there are only simple streetlights, and beyond a small path are different kinds of flower beds and trees. Not far away, there is a small lake where Shiraishi Sawa can even see swans paddling in the water.

"Takanashi-chan, I've finally met you in person." After walking up to Takanashi Yuuko, Kuramochi Sakura finally spoke, her voice clear and crisp. After carefully looking Takanashi Yuuko over, she continued to comment, "This outfit really suits you. It seems my taste was right after all."

"Ms. Kuramochi, you look even more beautiful. Thank you so much for the clothes."

"Hurry up and sit down. I'll tell them to start serving the food now." Kuramochi Sakura seemed to only then notice Shiraishi Sawa Hide. "This is the friend you mentioned who protected you, right? Are you relieved now that you see me clearly? I really am just a kind and harmless little girl!"

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you." Takanashi Yuuko pressed her hand to her chest, wanting to bow.

Kuramochi Sakura then put her arm around Takanashi Yuuko's shoulder beforehand, and then hugged one of her hands with both of hers. "Takanashi-chan, you really do apologize a lot in real life, just like you do online. Let's sit down first."

The three sat down at the table in the middle. One waiter had already left, and the remaining waiter was setting out the cutlery in front of them.

Takanashi Yuuko and Kuramochi Sakura sat facing each other, while Shiraishi Sawa Hide sat squarely between them.

"Takanashi-chan told me your name is Shiraishi Sawahide. Do you mind if I just call you Shiraishi?" Kuramochi Sakura asked in a cheerful and curious tone.

"Please go ahead, Ms. Kuramochi."

"If you like, you can call me Kuramochi, or Kuramochi-chan."

"I think addressing you as Ms. Kuramochi is more appropriate for your status."

"Haha, really? Then call me whatever you want."

Then, Kuramochi Sakurai started chatting with Takanashi Yuuko.

After chatting for a while, Takanashi Yuuko gradually became familiar with each other. The two talked about topics related to girls and often laughed uncontrollably.

Takanashi Yuuko seemed to feel neglected by Shiraishi Sawa Hide, and started to talk to him:

"Shiraishi-kun, aren't you bored doing this?"

Even though Kuramochi Sakura could naturally address Shiraishi as such, Takanashi Yuuko wasn't quite used to it.

Hideaki Shiraishi, whose attention was still focused on the Tokyo night view, snapped out of his reverie.

"It's okay, you guys chat. Just treat me like a bodyguard who's here to freeload a meal. Don't worry about me."

"Go and urge the chef! We booked the whole place today, so it shouldn't be taking this long. If it's not served soon, I'm not paying!" Upon hearing this, Kuramochi Sakura put her hands on her hips and said to a waiter beside her.

"I'm so sorry, I'll go and check on it right away." The waiter immediately went downstairs.

Seemingly inquiring about the results, the appetizers were soon brought out by the waiter.
