Ise Yu Yuzhijin heard Tsukimi sakurazawa's statement and curiously asked, "Tsukimi, are you and Shirakawa childhood friends?"
Tsukimi sakurazawa was taken aback, puzzled, and replied, "How could that be? I didn't know Shirakawa at all before. Why would you think that, Ise Yu?"
"Well... because you guys seem really close." Ise Yu Yuzhijin looked at Shirakawa Sawahei's expression and said cautiously.
"That's not the case at all~ Shirakawa and I are really good friends, you could even call us besties! Besides, Shirakawa really doesn't like girls with big chests~"
"Huh?" Cute little Ise Yu was shocked for a moment, then muttered quietly, "Good thing mine is quite big..."
Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
Are you two seriously discussing chest size right in front of Asano Nazuki as if she doesn't exist?
"I didn't expect Shirakawa to have such a hidden preference." Ise Yu Yuzhijin remarked.
Tsukimi sakurazawa chimed in, "That's right, Shirakawa has many strange habits, like every time I wake up, he likes to stare at the hem of my skirt! His stare is super creepy!"
Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
That was because your clothes were messed up, and it bothered me! Can you not make it sound like I'm a potential criminal?
"Also, if the activity room gets messy, he feels uncomfortable all over and has to clean it up no matter how much you try to persuade him!"
"When I fold the pages while reading, he always frowns at me!"
"Except when talking to Xiao Mo, I don't feel any of his gentleness towards girls at all! He's such a stereotypical macho man!"
Tsukimi sakurazawa vividly described various "evil deeds" from Shirakawa Sawahei's life, leaving Asano Nazuki puzzled. She truly hadn't expected such flaws from this seemingly pretty boy.
This pretty boy, could he be a Virgo?
I wonder what reaction he'd have if I spilled a bunch of rice in front of him one day.
"Are there other members in the Calligraphy Club, Director?" Asano Nazuki caught onto some key information.
"Oh~ yes, there is another kid, also super cute, easily blushes, and is quite shy. You'll definitely like her when you meet her, Asano!"
"Really! I'm looking forward to the club activities, Director Tsukimi!" Asano Nazuki said with a sweet smile. "So when do we start?"
"Well... how about today? Though you haven't officially submitted your application to join the club yet, it's completely fine to join and participate!"
"Thank you, Director! Shirakawa, please take care of me in the future~" Asano Nazuki deliberately stood up and bowed to Shirakawa Sawahei. Her dimples were full of sweet, charming smiles, looking especially lovable.
Shirakawa Sawahei noncomittally responded with a "hmm" and didn't object to it. In fact, he had no real grounds or reason to oppose Asano Nazuki's joining the club.
The image that Asano Nazuki has shown so far is very positive, showing no hostility towards Shirakawa Sawahei, merely an overt intention to get close to him. The threat to him isn't too significant at this moment.
He couldn't assume that Asano Nazuki intends to harm him merely because she's hiding her true abilities. Although he is cautious and likes to hold the initiative in things, it doesn't mean he will be overly timid.
Known troubles are much safer than hidden ticking bombs.
"Did Tachibana contact you at noon?" Shirakawa Sawahei suddenly asked.
"Xiao Mo? No, she should still be in the Calligraphy Club activity room."
As he was pondering something, a call suddenly came from the door, and it was President Mita Takuma who was warmly and enthusiastically calling out to him.
"Shirakawa? Are you free after school?"
"I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
Shirakawa Sawahei didn't know what kind of mystery Mita Takuma was up to. His interaction with the student council president was limited to brief greetings at school events. If it was for help, it was unnecessary to seek out someone unfamiliar like him.
He walked over and whispered, "President Mita, is there something important for the school?"
The student council president awkwardly lowered his voice and said, "It's not about school matters, just a personal small request... Shirakawa, can you help me with this favor?"
Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at him and politely said, "Although I'm not sure what President Mita needs from me, if it's something I can do, I'll certainly do my best."
The implication being, if it's too difficult, don't blame me for refusing outright.
Mita Takuma, not immediately closing the opportunity, was delighted to hear that and said, "Great, Shirakawa! Then after school, I'll wait for you behind the teaching building!"
After Mita Takuma left, Tsukimi sakurazawa came over first and said, "Shirakawa, you have connections with President Mita too?"
Shirakawa Sawahei moved Tsukimi sakurazawa's head away from beside his face and said, "What does that have to do with you, Tsukimi?"
"Hmph, no need to poke my cheek. Am I going to be unwanted because of this~"
"If you're really worried about being unwanted, stop being all buddy-buddy with me all the time, okay?" Shirakawa Sawahei said irritably, "Haven't you noticed how the eyes of other students are almost green with envy?"
Tsukimi sakurazawa scoffed carelessly, "We're just friends. It's their thoughts that are too dirty."
Clearly, it's your figure that's too shameless. Shirakawa Sawahei silently retorted in his heart.
"Class is starting soon, let's get back."
"I know... Asano, remember to come to the activity room with Shirakawa this afternoon!"
"Got it, Director."
Ise Yu Yuzhijin came over and whispered, "Shirakawa, our tutoring..."
Right, he had agreed to tutor this dope so she could show off in front of Asano Nazuki.
However, there's club activity in the afternoon, and he has a part-time job over the weekend, seems like there's not much time.
After pondering, Shirakawa Sawahei asked, "...Is your home near that noodle shop?"
"Then come..."
Ise Yu Yuzhijin quickly stepped back, her bright black-and-white eyes full of vigilance and said, "Shirakawa, you're not trying to invite me to your house, are you!"
"No way! Absolutely not! Even if your house is huge, I'm not going!"
Shirakawa Sawahei: ???
Why does this girl always sound like she's making insinuations whenever she talks?
Could it be, you're not my cash machine... but the legendary... master tease?
