My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess-Chapter 259: The Companion Choice for the Fireworks Festival

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: The Companion Choice for the Fireworks Festival

The last time I went shopping with Little Invisible Study Girl, even though the mood shifted a bit towards the end and turned into a visit to a swimsuit store, we had a great time initially.

Yeah, apart from that impressive brothel master uncle, everything else was perfect.

Speaking of which, the blue light blocking glasses that Little Invisible gave him before have barely been used. They’ve been well kept there.

If I start dealing with electronic devices more often in the future, I might consider using them.

After leaving the apartment, Shirakawa Sawahei crossed a street, boarded the train, and took a moment to send a message to Tachibana Tomoku, letting her know he’d set off.

The girl’s reply came quickly, and not only that, Tsukimi Sakurazawa also sent a message to Shirakawa Sawahei right after Tachibana Tomoku.

"Shirakawa, why are you so slow, making the three of us girls wait for you? You’re terrible."

"Three?"

Shirakawa Sawahei was stunned for a moment, suspiciously replying, "Huh? Didn’t Xiao Mo tell you? Zi is coming too."

"..."

"By the way, I’ve also called Konatsuori~"

Sure enough, the unread message on Little Invisible Study Girl’s side also prominently displayed this information. Shirakawa Sawahei really didn’t expect that Yuri Hime and Azusa Ishihara would also come, and with a Black Hearted Lolita added in, this outing was bound to be chaotic.

If he had known this earlier, he should have invited the Idle Fairy to join in the fun too.

"Shirakawa, did you bring Orikin with you? Isn’t she your roommate? You should have invited her to this event as well."

"She’s... been busy lately."

"Really? So she’s not coming?"

"Probably... I’ll ask her one last time."

Since everyone’s gathered, inviting her out to play wouldn’t hurt, anyway she’d just be secretly gaming at home.

Shirakawa Sawahei said this as he opened the Idle Fairy’s LINE chat, and without a doubt, this guy was certainly surfing the internet now.

Drawing is impossible, it’s been impossible these days. Only during the final deadline period can she rush to meet her commitments.

"Ise Yu-san, do you want to come out and go shopping with us?"

"Eh? Shirakawa, what’s going on? Didn’t you just say that I’m too cute and would hurt the self-esteem of other girls on the street? Why are you now..."

"Just now?"

Shirakawa Sawahei calmly replied, "I was just joking, didn’t you realize?"

"???"

Ise Yu Yuzhijin was so angry that she couldn’t reply for quite some time, and after a while, she finally sent back three exclamation marks, somewhat sulkily.

"Shirakawa... you’ll definitely have a harem."

"You’ve already said that... but still, thank you for your blessing."

"Where should I meet you? I’ll head out right away."

The two agreed on a meeting place and set off, meeting first, then heading to the place agreed upon by the Calligraphy Club together.

On the way, the Black Hearted Lolita, Asano Nazuki, sent a friendly greeting, asking when he would arrive, and incidentally asked if he had invited Hayakawa Kashi to come shopping.

Shirakawa Sawahei simply replied with a question mark.

"Why would I ask your sister to come shopping? She’s not familiar with the people from the Calligraphy Club."

"How would I know if you’d pull off some weird stunt?" The Black Hearted Lolita snorted, then typed, "In any case, I’ve just gotten out of confinement... and that Black Hearted Woman can’t be there for the fireworks festival! Next, it’s my stage!"

"..."

"Pretty boy, remember, you have to come to the street food stalls with me during the fireworks festival! Take a few pictures to show off to the Black Hearted Woman! Let her know that this lady can’t be easily defeated!"

"I refuse."

"Why! Isn’t my yukata outfit appealing to you?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"The tr... No... a lie! I want to hear a lie!" The Black Hearted Lolita cleverly changed her words, seemingly having anticipated Shirakawa Sawahei’s response, wanting to deceive herself with falsehoods.

"..."

"Are you really going to wear a yukata? Didn’t you say you didn’t want to be discouraged by Tsukimi and Ise Yu’s confidence, so you didn’t want to go?"

"Hmph! I don’t want to go! But this is a great opportunity without the Black Hearted Woman! No matter what, I have to seize it!"

Shirakawa Sawahei was too lazy to deal with the overly competitive little lolita, planning to end the conversation decisively, when suddenly Tsukimi Sakurazawa sent a message.

"Uh... Shirakawa, there’s no one around you right now, right?"

"What are you planning?"

"Oh, I just want to invite you to the street food stalls at the fireworks festival. I heard many booths have couple bonuses! We’re longtime partners! Let’s pretend to be a couple again this time~"

"I don’t recall ever pretending to be a couple with you at a fireworks festival... I feel like you’re up to no good."

"What! I’m sincerely inviting you to have fun at the street stalls, don’t be jealous when I hit the bullseye and win a prize!"

He looked at the playful chat with the giggling girl, then at the messages from the Black Hearted Lolita, unable to resist slowly typing a question mark.

Are these two having a fit? Why do they both want me to accompany them to the fireworks festival? And one even wants me to pretend to be a couple for bonuses!

How to handle this? Is time management magic necessary?

Are they already planning the fireworks festival now? They really are thinking three steps ahead, strategic and confident. The Black Hearted Lolita’s attitude is normal, but when did the giggling girl develop such foresight?

Shirakawa Sawahei thought about it, finding it somewhat unreliable, and decided to reject both of them directly so he wouldn’t have to use time management magic later. Unfortunately, the LINE notification sound interrupted his train of thought once again.

This time, it was a message from the cute little Ise Yu.

"Hey, Shirakawa! In a few days at the fireworks festival, you have to accompany me there!"

"I heard there are many fun games, like goldfish scooping... but I’ve never played them... To ensure I don’t get scammed into bankruptcy, Shirakawa, you need to back me up! At least let me win some prizes!"

"Please! Shirakawa! I’ll definitely thank you properly afterwards~"

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

Goodness, I haven’t even refused the first two yet, and here comes another one.

Now, three troublesome people want me to accompany them to the fireworks festival’s street food stalls; who should I give a good person card to first?

Or... pick one of the three to accompany her; it doesn’t seem too hard to accept...

After careful consideration, the Black Hearted Lolita was the first to be eliminated. Don’t ask why, the Black Hearted Lolita never stands a chance. This one is full of weird schemes and a strong desire for revenge, likely just waiting to catch Shirakawa Sawahei off guard.

Don’t be fooled by how she seems unfazed now, the grudge from when he handed her over to her sister unresolved. She would definitely be the first to gloat and show off if given the chance.

It’s a pity that Evil Little Arrogant Hayakawa Kashi can’t come to the fireworks festival, otherwise, going with her would have been the easiest. Not only is she beautiful and unruly, but she’s also a pro at games and may even offer free treats – the perfect companion for the fireworks festival.

In fact, he is attending the fireworks festival for the first time too – it might also be the last time during his high school years. Next year, everyone might face the pressure of higher education, unable to watch fireworks together with such a light heart... And individual activities like this don’t make sense.

Unless, by this time next year, there’s a girlfriend by my side.
