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

Chapter 107 Just a Hydrangea

Since Soga Kirei spent most of her time shopping with Taichi Oki and Yoshiko Shimizu, and they had already visited the festival shops beforehand, which they would have to revisit later, Shiraishi Sawah considered and then took her to the park.

"Shiraishi-kun, can I have a bite?" Soga Kirei said, pointing to the cotton candy in Shiraishi Zexiu's hand.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be possible." Shiraishi Sawa turned the marshmallow around, pointing the unbitten part towards Soga Kirei.

Suga Wulian took a small bite; the marshmallow, which was round when she bought it, now had grooves on both sides.

The park benches are a great place to rest. I had only been walking around with my class for about twenty minutes, and the moment I sat down, I actually felt a little comfortable.

"Minister Oki, when will you arrive? I'm keeping you company. You know, my plans are all messed up right now, and I have to get back by 5:50."

"Okay, Miko and I are already on the subway, we'll be there soon."

"Come find us at Sumida Park then."

"receive."

"Shiraishi-kun?"

Turning off his phone screen, Shiraishi Sawa looked at Soga Kirei, who was calling him, and asked, "What's wrong, President?"

Do you prefer Chinese culture or Western culture?

“Of course it’s Chinese style! I’ll always love Chinese culture,” Shiraishi Sawa replied without hesitation. “Why?”

"No, I'm just curious. Can I have another bite? The cotton candy is so sweet and delicious."

Shiraishi Sawa handed the stick part of the marshmallow directly to Soga Kirei.

"Here you go, Chairman. I've already had some other snacks. Remember to try the squid teppanyaki at the second shop on the left upstream later, it's super delicious."

After handing the half-cut marshmallow to Soga Kirei, Shiraishi Sawa Hide prepared to go to the 'amusement park' for a while.

Everyone was drawn to the festival, leaving the amusement park, which was originally intended for children, deserted. Most of the rides were unusable for Shiraishi Sawa. After thinking it over, Shiraishi Sawa set his sights on the slide, which was probably shorter than him.

I wiped the surface of the slide, and it was surprisingly clean. There must be cleaning staff responsible for cleaning it, which puts my mind at ease. It's a kimono worth over 100,000 yen.

Shiraishi Sawa took off his shoes, stepped onto the sled, hugged himself tightly, and slid down. Although he could only slide for a few seconds, Shiraishi Sawa smiled quite happily.

Then I heard Soga Kirei's phone taking pictures from the rocking chair nearby, and she was laughing too.

If this gets out, Shiraishi Zexiu's aloof yakuza prince identity will be ruined, but since it's Soga Kirei, it's reassuring and doesn't matter.

After sliding down the slope several times, Shiraishizawa wanted to check out the other facilities. He glanced at the swing, worried that it would break if he sat on it, so he got up, dusted off the non-existent dust, and found that Soga Kirei had already finished eating her cotton candy. He then got up and went back.

"Shiraishi-kun, could you pick a flower for me as a Qixi Festival gift?" Soga Kirei asked Shiraishi Zexiu, sitting on a recliner, pointing in a direction with a stick, and swinging her legs back and forth.

Shiraishi Sawa looked around warily. Relieved to see no roses, he followed Soga Kirei's gaze and saw only a hydrangea flowerbed, one of the few flowering plants in the park.

"How about you secretly pick one for me? I'll take it back and make it into a specimen."

"President, you are instigating me to commit a crime."

Shiraishi Sawa had already picked the most vibrant hydrangea and handed it to Soga Kirei.

"President, why are you carrying this around? Are you going to wander around all night with this piece of evidence of a crime?"

"No, leave it here for now, we'll get it when we get back." Suwo Wulian stuck the flower in the crevice of the recliner.

Shiraishi Sawa scratched his head. "Then why pick them now? Wouldn't it be better to pick them when we get back?"

Soga Kirei smiled serenely and replied:

"What if you're not around by then, Shiraishi-kun? Who will pick them then?"

"I never thought I'd become a tool." Shiraishi Sawa Hide didn't seem to mind at all, and even laughed. "How about I pick a few more for you, President, while no one's around?"

"Never mind, one flower is enough. If we give us more, the park rangers will be the ones to blame."

After chatting for a while, I checked the time and it was already past 40. Taichi and the others should be here by now.

"Let's go, President, let's wait for them at the park entrance. I'll show you where the restrooms and other facilities are..."

My phone vibrated with a message, probably from Taichi Oki and Yoshiko Shimizu, so I didn't open it and just sped towards the door.

Sure enough, at the entrance I saw the imposing Taichi Oki, and Shimizu Yoshiko, who could only be considered small next to Taichi Oki.

Shiraishi Sawa saw Oki Taichi's progress, because the distance between the two of them standing together had reached the distance between friends, only about half a meter.

"Minister Oki, Vice President Shimizu, we're here." Oki Taichi was still working on his phone when Shiraishi Sawa Hide greeted them directly.

"Oh! Shiraishi, you're here. I was just about to message you to ask where you were. Good evening, Chairman. We're sorry we're so late."

Taichi Oki's sudden attempt to apologize caused Soga Kiriren to shrink behind Shiraishi Sawa, poking him with her fingertip.

Shiraishi Sawa, who roughly understood what was going on, replied helplessly, "The president said you're right. She came way too early and made you all come so early."

As Shimizu Yoshiko approached, Soga Kiriren walked to her side, her eyes revealing a hint of reluctance that others could not see.

"You guys can take your time when you get there. I'm going to my class. We've arranged to play goldfish fishing at 5:50. I'm heading over now."

"Thank you for your hard work, Shiraishi-kun! Come back soon."

Time was running out, and Shiraishi Zexiu agreed as he ran toward the shop.

As he ran, he took out his phone. Taichi Oki had just said, "I haven't sent a message yet." So who was that person from earlier?

Although I had a premonition, it's still a bit hard to accept.

“Baby Dog, my mother and I have arrived at the Sumida River. When will you come to join us? My mother misses you terribly. I wonder what kind of spell you have cast on her.”

I deleted the text "I actually want to become your stepfather," but after thinking about it, I realized that both of my smiling women might react negatively if I sent it, so I decided not to try.

Going back now is obviously impossible, so Shiraishi Sawa recorded a video of himself running, then pointed it at his face and said to the front-facing camera as he ran:

"Baby Fox, you really know how to time your messages perfectly. See? I'm on the run right now, I don't have time to run over to you."

"Your hair will get messy running like that. I should have brought you some hairspray yesterday. And to be honest, Shiraishi-kun, your face is quite handsome. You don't look bad even with close-up shots like this."

"Is this the main point? Okay, being handsome is indeed a main point, but please pay attention to the very important point!"

"It's alright. I showed the video to my mother, and she was very happy. She said she can miss you later. You go ahead and run."

"Please thank her for me!"

Chapter 108 The Wish of Not Being the Fastest Man

When Shiraishi Sawa arrived, the rest of the class was already waiting. He checked the time; it was 48 minutes past the hour. Thankfully, he wasn't late.

"I'm back." After taking a deep breath, Shiraishi Sawa said to everyone.

"Maeda, it seems being a 'normie' isn't so easy after all?" Takeuchi Arisu whispered to Maeda Shusuke next to her.

"really."

It turns out that making a reservation in advance is worthwhile, especially since we specifically chose this place because it has a large quantity of high-quality goldfish, and there was already a group of people sitting around it.

The old lady in charge of selling the goldfish kept her promise and reserved an area for the eight people. The price was not high, 120 yen for a paper net. However, catching goldfish did not mean that you could keep the goldfish you caught. Instead, you could buy them at a very low price.

This is because many people only enjoy the fun of catching goldfish but don't want to keep them. Instead of increasing the unit price of the paper nets, it's better to reuse them in this way.

Shiraishi Sawa held a paper net, letting it touch the horizontal surface, or rather, float on the water, resting motionless.

"Shiraishi-kun, what are you doing?" Yuko Takanashi, who was about to start catching fish, asked curiously.

"I'm wetting the paper net to let it get used to the water inside, then I'll prepare for a decisive strike." Shiraishi Sawa began his masterful deception.

Then you see Takanashi Yuko imitating him, floating the paper net on the water.

Girls who don't cause trouble and are obedient are just so great!

Slowly sinking the paper net, Shiraishi Sawa Hide spotted a small black goldfish. The paper net was so fragile that it could break if you tried to paddle it underwater, so you had to be extremely careful.

Takeuchi Arisu and Wada Mie have already paid the price for their rudeness by breaking the paper net. Unwilling to admit defeat, they went to the old woman and bought another one.

First, use the plastic end of the paper net to force the goldfish to the edge of the pool. Then, slowly, slowly, scoop it up from the bottom. The little black goldfish seemed to be quite calm and didn't react much in the water. Although it struggled repeatedly after being taken out of the water, it was still scooped up.

Even Shiraishi Sawa Hide himself didn't expect this, as he wasn't very good at this.

The goldfish was placed in the water basin handed to him by the old woman. Yuko Takanashi, who had been watching closely, looked at him with admiration and said, "Shiraishi-kun, you're amazing!"

Then he started to imitate Shiraishi Sawa's method and actually caught a goldfish. "Look, Shiraishi-kun! I caught one too."

"Not bad, look at them, none of them are any good." Shiraishi Zexiu said smugly, looking at the rest of the group whose nets had already been broken.

"You taught Shiraishi very well."

Seeing that the others had also bought another one and were planning to fight again, Takanashi Yuuko told them about the method that Shiraishi Sawa had mentioned, and thus the scene of everyone floating together on the wet paper net appeared.

The struggle of the black goldfish had nearly torn Shiraishi Sawa's paper net. When he tried to catch a second one, the net indeed broke, so Shiraishi Sawa stopped and didn't intend to buy another one.

After several rounds, the eight people caught a total of nine goldfish.

No one else planned to keep them, but Ayane Uemura said she had a fish tank at home that kept goldfish, so she bought all the fish, but they are currently being stored here.

Afterwards, the group went to shoot air guns, which is a sport that boys are good at and enjoy, as they are very skilled at shooting handguns and firecrackers.

Most girls are looking for something new, so they didn't stay on this project for very long.

"What should we do next?"

Maeda Shusuke, who had just hit the target most accurately, still had a smug look on his face as he asked the girls.

“Um…” Wada Mie stepped forward and suggested, “Why don’t we make a wish now?”

Everyone looked at her, and Mie Wada continued to explain her reasons for making a wish now, "My mother told me that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl only work today, and they get off work after midnight. If you don't make a wish early, it won't be effective."

We were planning to make wishes at both the paper offerings and the temple anyway, so I think we can go now.

"That seems...to make sense."

"Should we celebrate festivals a day earlier in the future, leaving a whole day for the gods to review our wishes?"

Most people are too lazy to have their own opinions, so when Mie Wada made the suggestion, everyone agreed.

Shiraishi Sawa checked the time; it was about right. After making wishes at the two places, he headed to Ichiyo's place. He should still have a chance to spend time with her tonight and meet the task target.

Led by Takeuchi Arisu and Maeda Shusei, the group quickly made their way to the stationery shop.

Compared to the day before, the broken bridge here has been reinforced with safety measures, allowing visitors to drop papers on it without falling in. There is also a gentle slope nearby if you want to touch the water of the Sumida River.

"Should we write half of our wish or the whole thing?" Hashimoto Nana, who had just received the slips of paper to write her wish, suddenly asked the others curiously.
