My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess

Chapter 516: Schedule Reserved for Next Year



"If you stab me, how am I supposed to take you home? Ise Yu, could you please be reasonable..."

"Do you have any last words?"

"Of course I do." Shirakawa Sawahei grabbed the girl's small hand and said seriously, "Actually, Tsukimi came back not because of you."

"Then why?"

"Because of me." Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, "She never intended to spend New Year's with me from the start..."

"What about you? What did you think at first?"

"At first, I wanted to spend New Year's with the three of you." Seeing his girlfriend's face changing again, Shirakawa Sawahei hurriedly added, "But then I changed my mind."

"Changed to spend it with Sakurazawa?"

"No." Shirakawa Sawahei replied, "Directly bringing you all home, your parents would definitely not agree, after all, we're still in high school, it's considered early romance..."

"What's this early romance term? Is there an early or late distinction in love?"

"..."

Shirakawa Sawahei didn't get caught up in this cultural difference and continued, "That's not important. The important thing is, if I go down now and tell your parents I want to take you home for New Year's, they certainly wouldn't agree."

"Who says so! What if they do agree?"

Shirakawa Sawahei was stunned, puzzled, "If they agree... then I'll take you back."

"Hmph, who knows if you're just saying that in front of me."

"Of course not."

"Then how do you prove it?"

"???"

How can I prove that? Should I call Tsukimi and Little Arrogant over to say I want to take you home? Wouldn't that just raise my scumbag level to hell difficulty right from the start?

"In any case, I really, really want to take you back, but before you never..."

"So according to you, it's all my fault before?" cute little Ise Yu coldly interrupted him, "Do you want me to apologize to you?"

"Ahem... no need, the fault was mine before." Shirakawa Sawahei said sincerely, "So I'm admitting my mistake now, please forgive me!"

"The attitude isn't sincere, do it again."

"Please forgive me."

"Lacks momentum, do it again."

The slacking girl started picking faults angrily. Seeing this, Shirakawa Sawahei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ise Yu Yuzhijin picking on him meant that this sudden incident might be resolved.

Isn't it just apologizing a few more times? I'm good at this!

"Is this okay now?" Shirakawa Sawahei bowed at a ninety-degree angle, and asked with difficulty.

"Hmph... this is barely acceptable..."

"Phew..."

"So when will you accompany me back for New Year's?"

"Since when did I say I would go back with you for New Year's?" The slacking girl was surprised, "I was joking..."

Shirakawa Sawahei: It got tense... the fists...

Ah, it's a girlfriend, so switch to another one...

"Sakurazawa is back, what's the point of me going?" The slacking girl said matter-of-factly, "If I'm going, it has to be next year's New Year's, to refresh the scene..."

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Sawahei was overjoyed, quickly nodding and saying, "Next year it is, you better not back out!"

"Who says I can't back out?" The slacking girl's eyes still had traces of tears. She glared at him, saying seriously, "Being unreasonable is a... girl's privilege... Why? You don't want to admit it?"

"..."

"Alright... fine..." Shirakawa Sawahei sighed in melancholy, thinking to himself why every girlfriend says this sentence... can't I have a truly obedient, cute girlfriend who won't be unreasonable?

However... for Ise Yu's cute little self to say this, she shouldn't be as angry and impulsive as before...

Thinking of this, Shirakawa Sawahei gently wiped away the tears on the girl's face with his fingers, taking a fresh look at the cute girlfriend in front of him. Embarrassed by his gaze, Ise Yu's cute self turned away.

"Stop looking... are you purposely here to see me cry?"

"Of course not, but you look beautiful even now."

"Am I not beautiful usually?"

"You're beautiful all the time," Shirakawa Sawahei chuckled, "I really, really like you no matter when."

"Hmph, who knows if you're lying to me..."

"I swear I'm not lying." Shirakawa Sawahei added, "My choice to cohabit with you without hesitation is the best proof."

"Who said there was no hesitation, didn't you think about it for a long time?"

"I have to show some reserve, right? Otherwise, what if you find out I'm an old pervert drooling over your beauty?"

The slacking girl giggled, then quickly put on a serious face. It was a real demonstration of reacting when the person who made you mad tells a genuinely funny joke. Shirakawa Sawahei couldn't help but pinch her small face and continued, "I didn't choose Tsukimi, didn't choose Kashi, and definitely didn't choose Tachibana or Asano... I only chose you, isn't that enough proof?"

"How come I didn't know that Kaori and Hayakawa Kashi consulted you about cohabitation too?" The slacking girl asked alertly, "Is there something else you're hiding from me?"

"..."

This girl's thinking is indeed different from others; would a normal person pay attention to this?

"I forgot, but if I remember, I'll tell you."

Shirakawa Sawahei gave a high EQ response, quickly shifting the slacking girl's attention, "So, you're the top cohabitation partner I've chosen from many options."

"Lively, cute, and sensible. Being with you will never be boring. Every day feels new, even if we just cuddle on the sofa watching shows, it doesn't feel like a waste of life."

"Hmph... who knows if you're just pleasing me..." The slacking girl raised her chin, her expression gradually turning joyful, "You're so enthusiastic about choosing a cohabitant, why not just choose a girlfriend too?"

Shirakawa Sawahei was momentarily tongue-tied by Ise Yu's cute self, but fortunately, the girl only murmured that phrase and didn't dwell on it. She thought for a moment and continued, "So your implication... is you've had strange thoughts about me since before moving in together?"

"What's with the strange thoughts, can't you use another phrase?" Shirakawa Sawahei helplessly replied, "Of course, I wouldn't choose to cohabit with someone I have no emotional connection with."

"Now if you had to choose, who would you live with?"

"It'd still be you, of course." Shirakawa Sawahei firmly stated, "There's no doubt about it, you are my ideal cohabitation partner."

"Hmph... fine, you passed..." The slacking girl pouted, "I'm hungry..."

"Let's go eat out." Shirakawa Sawahei was very attentive, "What do you want to eat? Or should I get you something?"

"No, I haven't completely forgiven you yet." The girl shook her head and said seriously, "I need to go downstairs to eat, my mom made burger steaks earlier and I didn't have any."

"Can I join you?"

"No, you're not my boyfriend." The slacking girl rolled her eyes at him, "Only my boyfriend can be invited home for dinner."

"Then what am I now?" Shirakawa Sawahei was a bit annoyed, thinking, is Ise Yu's cute self going to jerk me around too?

"You're currently on a probationary period!" The slacking girl confidently declared, "I would never agree to let you bull me, so I can't possibly be your girlfriend!"

"The Pure Love War God never concedes!"

"What about after the probationary period?"

"After the period, I'll be your girlfriend." The slacking girl thought and then retorted, "But as long as you still harbor those unrealistic desires, the probationary period will never end."

"What you need to do now is to make me happy during the probationary period, don't let me lose hope in you. That way, maybe when your dreams fail at the last moment, I might reluctantly take in a heartbroken jerk like you..."

"..."

"What? You're unwilling?"

"Willing, of course, willing." Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, his face full of joy. He held the girl's small hand, saying helplessly, "Alright, I'll strive my best."

"Wait a minute... I haven't put on my slippers yet... ah... Shirakawa... Shirakawa Sawahei, what are you doing... Mom and Dad will see!"

"It's alright, they went out, I'll carry you downstairs. It'll be quicker this way."

"Hmph~ It's not like I can't walk..."

"So you're really not coming back with me this year."

"Not going back... I've already said I'll go back next year. If I go back so easily, won't I lose face..."

"..."
