My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess-Chapter 542 - 534: Can You Please Stop Looking at Me for a While?
"Tachibana?"
"Hmm?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Little Invisible answered honestly, "I was thinking... I’m just glad you haven’t given up on me, Shirakawa..."
"..."
"Did you really think I would give up on you? Tachibana, can’t you have a little faith in your destined partner?"
"It’s not that I don’t have faith in you... it’s that I lack faith in myself..." Little Invisible weakly replied, "After all... the bond between Shirakawa and me isn’t as deep as with others... our relationship isn’t that good either..."
"..."
With exasperation, Shirakawa Sawahei cradled the girl’s small face and said earnestly, "Tachibana, I think you need to change your mindset profoundly. I like you just as much as you like me."
"No, it’s different."
"It’s the same."
Little Invisible blinked her eyes, not continuing to speak, but the sparkling light in her eyes revealed her true feelings.
It’s different.
Shirakawa, I like you more than you think...
Very, very much... so much that I’m even worried this moment is just a dream.
"Tachibana?"
"Hmm?"
"Don’t you think I’m a bit bad?"
"I..."
"It’s okay if you stop being a good kid, you know?"
Miss Tachibana muttered, squeezing her little fist, "A little..."
"But... I still like Shirakawa!" Little Invisible quickly added, "Even if Shirakawa might be a bit bad..."
"..."
"Not ’might be’." Shirakawa Sawahei smiled wryly, "Right now, my actions and thoughts are totally those of a playboy. You wouldn’t be wrong to dislike me."
"You can hit me, scold me, get angry at me, or be mad... whatever you want, it’s what I deserve."
"But I just can’t dislike you."
Little Invisible blinked and said softly, "Besides... Department Director Tsukimi, and Ise Yu have deep bonds with you, Shirakawa... it’s no wonder they’d like you..."
"As long as in the future..."
"Don’t worry, I only like a few of you."
Little Invisible breathed another sigh of relief.
Shirakawa Sawahei: "?"
Why do I get the feeling that Little Invisible originally understood me to be a worse playboy? Am I the kind of lowly playboy who’s interested in anyone he sees?
Even playboys have their levels, come on?!
"Tachibana... aren’t you going to scold me?"
"Shirakawa liking me is true, right?"
"Yes." Shirakawa Sawahei nodded, "Absolutely true."
The girl gazed into his eyes and read the answers she wanted from his gaze, softly saying, "That’s enough. As long as Shirakawa likes me, that’s enough."
Shirakawa Sawahei was silent for a moment, then softly chuckled.
No wonder Little Invisible was the only girl he succeeded in winning over right after confessing. Maybe she had some small disappointments and grievances, but it was certain that as long as Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t give up on her, she would always like him.
Just like she always had.
"I won’t give up liking you; I promise."
He caressed the girl’s cheek, sighing, "Even if many people scold me, or criticize me, I won’t let go of your hand."
"Neither will I," Tachibana Tomoku said softly, "Being with Shirakawa, even if there’s resentment, I won’t feel sad."
"I’m not that good," Shirakawa Sawahei said with a wry smile. "When Ise Yu found out I wanted to be a playboy, she almost picked up scissors to give me a snip... Probably when they hear I confessed to you, they won’t see me for a good while again."
Tachibana Tomoku blinked her eyes again, without saying anything.
Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t help but cradle the girl’s nearby adorable face, feeling an urge to kiss her.
The girl who blushed while speaking, the deer-like girl so adorable, the girl whose eyes lit up when she looked at him—eventually, he held her little hand, not letting her get away.
"Shirakawa?"
"Hmm?"
"Can you not look at me for a bit..." Miss Tachibana shyly pinched her clothes, the tips of her ears slightly red.
"Why?" Shirakawa Sawahei gazed at his cute Little Invisible Study Girl, chuckling lightly.
"Because... my father is watching us..."
"???"
Shirakawa Sawahei: I let my guard down and didn’t dodge.
This time, ah, this time I was completely mesmerized by Little Invisible Study Girl’s beauty, utterly unaware of the approaching danger.
Tachibana Kaisuke’s death glare was felt from afar, and Shirakawa Sawahei silently let go of Little Invisible, awkwardly gazing at the sky.
I knew that guy was trouble! Where’s my knife? Asano Fūsei? Lend it to me.
Asano Fūsei: ?
Ask Hayakawa Shinsuke, I always use his; it’s very handy.
Having witnessed this scene, Tachibana Kaisuke felt that last night’s plan with his wife was a waste... Initially, they thought that seeing girl items in his luggage would help Xiao Mo see this playboy clearly, but after one shrine visit, their relationship got better?!
Tachibana Kaisuke: I’m cracking up!
Despite the playboy being right in front, the Tachibana couple couldn’t dare to act rashly in front of their daughter—they were fierce in the yakuza world, but their only daughter was their Achilles’ heel and treasure. With their love for Little Invisible, if Tachibana Tomoku wanted to protect a playboy, they might even consider seriously getting her the stars if she wanted.
The dilemma of either picking up the knife and not being able to hug their daughter or putting it down and not being able to protect her, is exactly what the Tachibana couple faced.
Is there a way to deal with the playboy without hurting the daughter? Pretty urgent, online waiting.
Asano Fūsei: Same boat, +1...
The fact they couldn’t confront the playboy with a guardian has worked in their favor before, but it doesn’t mean the Tachibana couple was helpless. Right after their meeting with the Shrine owner, Tachibana Kaisuke and Tachibana China showed up to interrupt Shirakawa Sawahei’s attempt to take advantage, naturally splitting the two apart.
"Xiao Mo? Did you make your New Year wish?"
"Yes!"
"Then let’s head back." Tachibana China smiled at the old playboy, "After all, there’s nothing much to do here, right? Don’t you agree, Mr. Shirakawa?"
"Umm... Yes, indeed..."
Shirakawa Sawahei quietly glanced at his low-tier, oh no, precious system’s new side quest, feeling reassured.
Steady, we can win!
I knew the system wouldn’t leave me using just charm to fight Tachibana Kaisuke! Here’s the side quest! Follow the side quest path, and start the path to becoming a legendary playboy hero!
Little Invisible’s quest is for building influence, Little Arrogant’s is probably for earning money. Once both side quests are done, there’s no way we can’t counter the whole Hayakawa family + Tsukimi Family + Tachibana Kaisuke, right?
Suddenly, Shirakawa Sawahei felt that his future was full of promise. Even though he was soon forced to part with his newly confessed Little Invisible girlfriend and sat alone on a train ride home, his joy wasn’t diminished at all.
Four already... maybe I should confess to Kaori on the way and ignite a grand conflict?
