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

The difference is that the quality of the fruit wasn't as high as the one Sugao Wulian brought. Also, there were three sticks this time, one for each person.

Actually, Shiraishi Sawa didn't want to start studying on the first day of summer vacation, but seeing how serious Soga Kirei and Takanashi Yuuko were, he felt embarrassed to say anything discouraging or spoil the mood.

The three sat around a rug. Soga Kirei was talking, and the other two were listening. It was a pity that there was no tatami mat at home, because Shiraishi Sawa Hide still felt that a regular bed was more comfortable to sleep on.

"The format of the semi-finals is basically the same as the preliminary rounds, except that the number of questions allowed to be wrong and the number of questions in each round have increased, and the percentage of students who remain is no longer displayed. For specific details, please refer to the attachment in your text message."

You definitely need to focus on the questions you took in the preliminary round, and you should also look at the more in-depth and detailed parts of "Zheng Yi Bai Ke" compared to "Encyclopedia for Middle School Students"...

"Wait a minute, President Su, may I ask about that...?"

Shiraishi Sawa looked at the two pretty girls in front of him. One of them always had a blank expression, yet he found it hard to associate her with aloofness. The image of Soga Kirei's smile kept flashing in his mind.

Another lovely girl listened with exceptional focus, holding a pen and a small notebook of sticky notes, poking her chin with the pen cap and jotting down key points from time to time.

The fan in the room creaked and groaned, blowing a few strands of hair to the girls' mouths and noses, but they didn't notice.

"Shiraishi-kun?"

Both of them felt Shiraishi Sawa's direct admiring gaze. Soga Kiri continued to explain the knowledge points, but straightened her back even more, trying to show her more graceful posture. Takanashi Yuuko, after being stared at for a long time, blushed more and more and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, no," Shiraishi Sawah said, scratching his head sheepishly as he snapped out of his reverie at the beautiful scenery. "I was daydreaming, I was just looking at the pretty girl. Let's continue."

Although I don't really want to study, it wouldn't be so bad if time could just stay at this moment.

Shiraishi Sawah found his own idea somewhat amusing.

(Next update at 17 PM)

Chapter 121 The System Remembered Its Existence

Shiraishi Sawah refocused his gaze on the encyclopedia... on Soga Kiri's long, slender legs, like tender lotus roots.

......Amitabha.

The semi-finals did become more complex. The encyclopedia for middle school students was more about popularizing science in an entertaining way, since the readers were only middle school students, and if it was too dry, no one would read it.

"Zheng Yibaike" is already a serious popular science book, which emphasizes professionalism and is rather boring to read.

"It's five o'clock, let's take a break and continue after dinner."

Before he knew it, an afternoon had passed. Shiraishi Sawah stood up and stretched. For a tall person like him, sitting for a long time was really difficult.

"Takashi, could you show me around your room? I didn't have a chance to ask for your permission last time I came, so I haven't seen it yet, and I'm quite curious."

"Of course, President Su, but my room is pretty ordinary."

"It's fine."

Then Takanashi Yuuko carried Mimi and Soga Kirei into her room, leaving only Shiraishi Sawa Hide in the living room.

Shiraishi Sawa was selecting a movie on his phone, planning to watch one late into the night before going to sleep.

During summer vacation, people should act like couch potatoes; getting too engrossed in studying is not an option.

The electric fan hanging above the sofa is still creaking and groaning; I need to find some time to replace it with a new one. Takanashi Yuuko's room doesn't have air conditioning yet; I'll see if I should install one there.

The sounds of conversation drifted from Takanashi Yuuko's room, but Shiraishi Sawa Hide couldn't hear clearly and had no intention of eavesdropping. He returned to his room, took off the sheet, and hung it on the balcony, thinking it would be good to let the sun kill some germs.

Dinner consisted of the leftovers from lunch. After resting for ten minutes, Soga Kirei called the two of them to come and study.

The moment I sat down, the system popped up a notification sound again, something I hadn't heard in a long time.

[Ding! Mission triggered]

[Task Description: You and Yuuko Takanashi have both advanced to the semi-finals of the Supreme All-Around Knowledge Competition. Achieve the same score as Yuuko Takanashi in the semi-finals to receive a reward.]

[Task Rewards:]

[Same score in the semi-finals: 3000 points]

[Together in the top 10% of the semi-finals: 3000 points + 1 Full Intelligence Experience Card (Provides exceptional intelligence for one day after use)]

[Together in the top 1% of the semi-finals: 3000 points + Intelligence +1]

Task rewards can be claimed cumulatively.

[Task completion deadline: During the semi-finals of the Youth All-Around Knowledge Competition]

Just as Shiraishi Sawa was about to examine the mission more closely, the notification sound rang again:

[Ding! Mission triggered]

[Task Description: You and Soga Kirei have been supporting each other throughout the Sora All-Around Knowledge Competition. Now that the semi-finals are approaching, how can you be separated by such a distance? Invite Soga Kirei to travel to Hyogo Prefecture to receive a reward.]

[Task Rewards:]

[Soga Kirei travels to Hyogo Prefecture: 1500 points + 3 Instant Teleportation Cards (can instantly teleport to any place you have ever been, but cannot be detected or recorded by any person or device)]

[How many days do we stay together in Hyogo Prefecture: Number of days * 1000 points (capped at 5)]

[Sleeping in a bed in Hyogo Prefecture: Hours * 1000 points (capped at 5)]

Task rewards can be claimed cumulatively.

[Task deadline: Before August 10th of this year]

Shiraishi Sawa was surprised to be assigned two tasks at once, but it was a good thing, since there was no punishment.

After reading the task, Shiraishi Sawah decisively switched out of [Super Memory] because Takanashi Yuuko's task required him to have control over his performance.

Shiraishi Sawa believes that with Takanashi Yuuko's hard work and intelligence, she is more than capable of achieving a high ranking.

Instead of spending a lot of time trying to memorize it yourself, why not redeem this [Super Memory] and use it to achieve twice the result with half the effort?

With such generous rewards, breaking even is definitely not a problem.

You have successfully redeemed the special ability - [Super Memory]. Your accumulated Super Memory time (H) is currently 0.

Remaining points: 7802

[Congratulations! A new item has been unlocked in the shop: [Malicious Curse Targeted] (After purchase, you can target a person (not yourself) whose remaining life will be filled with misfortune): Intelligence -1 + Stamina -1 + Charisma -1]

[Congratulations! A new item has been unlocked in the shop: [Designated Blessing] (After purchase, you can designate a person (not yourself) to receive a relatively lucky life for the rest of their life): Intelligence -1, Stamina -1, or Charm -1]

[Congratulations! A new item has been unlocked in the shop: [Random Ability Learning] (After purchase, you will learn a completely random skill, both in type and level, with a minimum of B level): 5000 points]

These three items immediately appeared in the store after the product was purchased, but I have to say... they're not very useful.

The first two require spending intelligence, stamina, and charm, which Shiraishizawa Hide doesn't need in the short term. Even the description of the [Designated Blessing of Kindness] effect only suggests relative luck, and the effect seems poor. As for [Random Ability Learning], it's even more unreliable. What if you get a B-rank tank with 5000 points?!

Amazon doesn't even sell sniper rifles, are they going to sell tanks instead?

Having secured a good grasp of Takanashi Yuuko's mission, Shiraishi Sawa now needs to consider the mission concerning the chairman.

Putting aside the wonderful... ugh... evil mission of sleeping in the same bed, the premise of everything is to get Soga Kirei to go to Hyogo Prefecture as well.

"President," Shiraishi Sawah said after thinking it over.

Soga Kirei looked at him with some confusion, as he hadn't even started getting to the point yet.

"I'd like to ask, are you going to stay in Hokkaido with your mother for two weeks?"

“Yes.” Soga Kirei nodded in agreement, continuing to look at Shiraishi Zexiu with curiosity.

“I did the math. If you leave in two days, that'll be two weeks, and you'll completely miss our match time.”

"Yes, that's why I'm here to guide you."

"No, I was just thinking that with Takanashi's and my skill level, we'll definitely shine in the semifinals. It would be such a shame if you weren't there when we celebrate our victory trip in Hyogo Prefecture."

"Ahem, even if we don't get good results, we still plan to stay there for a while. What do you say, Takanashi?"

"Although I'm not at a very high level, I still hope that Chairman Su will be there then,"

Takanashi Yuuko nodded vigorously; naturally, she wouldn't refuse anyone because she held goodwill towards everyone.

"President Su, you've only been talking for an afternoon, but I feel like my efficiency is much higher than yesterday. If we can get good results, it will definitely be largely thanks to you, President Su."

Soga Kirei didn't speak, but her eyes, which were calmly looking at Shiraishi Zexiu, seemed to hold a glimmer of light.

"So, I'd like to ask the president if you could discuss with your mother about coming back from Hokkaido earlier, and then spending some time with us in Hyogo Prefecture? Hyogo Prefecture shouldn't be too hot in August... right?"

He sounded a little guilty about his last sentence, and after saying it, Shiraishi Sawah waited for Soga Kiriren's response.

Soga Kiriren stared intently at Shiraishi Sawa, seemingly deep in thought. After a few seconds, she slowly asked:

"Does Shiraishi mean you want to invite me?"

"It was Takanashi and I who invited you, President."

"So, Shiraishi, you also want to invite me, right?"

Shiraishi Sawa opened his mouth, but only made a sound a few seconds later.

"Yes."

"No, it's what the system wants."

But why does it seem like there's no sense of shame about lying?

It must be because I'm too shameless.

What else could it be?

(Maybe there won't be any more today, I still need to pay back the two chapters I owed.)

Chapter 122 Living together is to make the most of study time

"I cannot give you an answer now," Suga Kirei said, her previously calm face now showing a hint of joy.

"Can I discuss it with my mother after I start traveling?"

"Of course, Hyogo Prefecture isn't as fun as Hokkaido."

Let's get back to the main point.

"it is good."

"It's 9:30. Let's stop here for today. We've already covered half of this book today. If we keep going at this pace, we should be able to cover the key points and details by tomorrow. Fortunately, we can still make it."

"Thank you for your hard work, President. I need to go to the restroom first."
