My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess-Chapter 266: Don’t Come Over Here.jpg

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

To be honest, sometimes he really doesn’t know if Tsukimi Sakurazawa is intentionally making these suggestive remarks, or if she’s just so skilled that it seems that way.

God, not all boys are good at shooting games. When will MOBA players rise up!

Before he could rant more about her statements, the little whiner dragged him all the way to the shooting booth, giggling as she said, "Boss~ Could you please prepare ten bullets for him?"

"Oh~ The young lady’s quite energetic... Want your boyfriend to win a prize for you? In that case, I suggest you both join our couple challenge!"

"There’s a challenge!?"

Tsukimi Sakurazawa heard this and immediately exclaimed, "We’re in! We’re definitely in!"

"Forget everything else; my boyfriend is amazing at shooting!"

"..."

"I don’t recall having such a talent," Shirakawa Sawahei retorted expressionlessly.

"Oh, come on, Shirakawa, it’ll just be fun to join the contest~ Boss, we’re in, how much is the entry fee? I’ll pay!"

"Alright~ It’s 500 yen here... You just need to work together in the challenge, pass and earn points! Points can be redeemed for prizes!"

"Sounds interesting... How do we work together?"

"One partner carries or holds the other, while participating in the shooting challenge. Hitting obstacles earns points, and the challenge ends when the bullets are finished or the partner cannot support the other’s weight."

"Here’s the reward list... You two can decide on your challenge goal based on the prizes you like~"

"Great~ Thank you, boss!"

Tsukimi Sakurazawa took the point exchange list, her eyes lighting up as she pointed at it and said, "Shirakawa, Shirakawa, I want this... I want this..."

She pointed at a giant plush bear. Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at the required points and decisively said, "You might want to reconsider something else."

"Don’t be so pessimistic! Without dreams, what’s the difference between us and fate’s plaything!"

Girls seem to have no resistance to giant plush toys. Hearing Shirakawa’s refusal, the little whiner became anxious.

"Just treat it as a small goal, make a little effort!"

"I can’t achieve your small goal, please seek someone more capable."

"Hmph! Shirakawa, you lazy old fish... If not this one, then let’s not bother... Anyway, I can’t fit this at home..."

"If you can’t fit it, why set it as a small goal???"

"It can still be kept at your house. When I move out, I can bring the little treasure stored at your home back!"

"Don’t be silly, I won’t keep such a foolish toy at home."

"Then let’s go with this one." The little whiner pointed at a pair of silver rose-shaped earrings, puffed her cheeks, and said indignantly, "You can’t reject me on this one, right?"

Shirakawa Sawahei followed her gaze, looked at the exchange points, and nodded.

"This is a fairly normal small goal."

"Heehee~ This is a cheap silver-plated small goal. If the points are high, we can even get those pure silver ones~"

"..."

"Come on, Shirakawa! I’m really light! You need to aim for the ultimate big prize from the small goal!"

Saying this, the little whiner jumped onto Shirakawa Sawahei’s back, her long legs wrapped around his waist. The soft feeling from behind made him a bit speechless.

"Isn’t it wasting my energy right from the start? Are you the boss’s undercover?"

"No, I’m just really happy~"

"Get down already!"

"Nope, now that I’m up, don’t expect me to get down~"

"Are you sure you won’t come down?"

"Of course I’m sure."

"Alright." Shirakawa Sawahei calmly nodded, "I’m going to announce your weight out loud."

"???"

"Shirakawa, are you a devil!"

The booth owner on the side watched Shirakawa Sawahei’s operation so skillfully, he couldn’t help but slowly form a question mark.

Are these two... really a couple?

Despite being a bit confused, the owner had no intention of genuinely questioning their relationship - the event was just a promotional gimmick, who cares if the customers are really a couple, as long as it makes money!

This is not a couple benefit giveaway, why make it so tiring; as long as the couple doesn’t start a fight, everything else is irrelevant to him.

Let me see how much this couple will increase my revenue.

The shooting booth owner looked at Shirakawa Sawahei with bright eyes, his heart full of anticipation. His couple challenge activity was designed quite slickly, not only did the man need to carry the girl to shoot for points, but he also had to dodge colored pellets shot from the opposite side. The pellet frequency wasn’t high, but it was unpredictable, requiring participants to be highly vigilant to avoid it.

If you focus on dodging, you’re sure not to get high scores; if you focus on shooting, you can easily get hit by pellets and leave the game early.

Under such settings, wanting to exchange for desirable prizes inevitably requires multiple challenges. Men are somewhat childish creatures, especially in front of girls they like, making this childishness even more apparent.

However, he hadn’t expected that his perfectly designed money-making activity didn’t account for the existence of overachievers.

How could there be such physically fit high schoolers? These two must be college students! Especially that girl! She must be at college level!

Carrying a young lady on his back as if it were nothing, with an expression focused on aiming, shooting, and dodging. At first, his shots were a bit off, but as he went on, Shirakawa Sawahei almost hit every target, earning points.

Ten, twenty, fifty... every shot by Shirakawa Sawahei seemed to hit the booth owner’s heart.

Owner: Heartache +2009...

"Wow wow~ Shirakawa! Shoot... quickly shoot! Hit! Another hit! Great~ Oh oh~ dodge quickly... the pellet is coming... nice!"

"Stay still and don’t move."

"Oh oh~"

The little whiner obediently lay on Shirakawa Sawahei’s back, continuing to excitedly direct him. After a few seconds of feeling the buffering force from behind, he was silent for a moment...

"You better straighten up and keep moving..."

Tsukimi Sakurazawa: ???

After a round, the two collected quite a few points, more than enough to exchange for those silver-plated rose-shaped earrings. Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at the points tally, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Wanna go for two more rounds?"

Little Whiner: ∑d(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)

Owner: Don’t come here.jpg

In the end, Shirakawa Sawahei managed to score the pure silver rose-shaped earrings as a prize, successfully winning them with the long-legged cutie on his back, and left the booth contentedly.

Tsukimi Sakurazawa cradling the hard-earned treasure, unable to put it down, remarked, "This is the first time I’ve won such an expensive prize at a game like this. The most I used to win was a small plushie... I was right, Shirakawa, you are truly a master at the shooting game!"

"..."

"Even though it’s pure silver, silver earrings aren’t that expensive, okay." Shirakawa Sawahei retorted, "And you don’t seem to wear earrings much, what do you need them for?"

"Who said I don’t wear earrings~" Tsukimi Sakurazawa said, pinching her earlobes and leaning in, "Look, I have piercings."

"Help me put them on and see~"

"Do it yourself, I don’t know how."

"You have to learn if you don’t know~ Now’s the chance to practice with a good buddy, aren’t you going to seize the opportunity!"

Unable to withstand the little whiner’s soft persuasion, Shirakawa Sawahei sighed and started to put on the silver rose-shaped earrings for her. When his fingers touched Tsukimi’s ear, he seemed to feel her lightly tremble.

"What? Does it hurt?"

"No, no." Tsukimi Sakurazawa coughed lightly and urged, "Shirakawa, hurry up, you’re so slow."

"If you think I’m slow, fix it yourself then." Shirakawa Sawahei said exasperatedly, but his hands didn’t stop. Before long, his hands gently left the girl’s earlobe.

"All done."

Tsukimi Sakurazawa took out her phone’s front camera, checked the look, then looked up with a chuckle, "Shirakawa, you didn’t disappoint~ Come here, give me a hug as a reward."

"Quit it with that." Shirakawa Sawahei playfully patted her head, "Let’s go, the fireworks festival is starting soon."

"If there’s anything else you want to play, do it quickly, or you’ll miss the chance."

"Mhm~ You’re the best, Shirakawa~ I want to play water balloon fishing! And scoop goldfish!"

"Water balloon fishing is fine, scooping goldfish is off the table."

"Eh? Why!"

"Goldfish are hard to raise. Taking them home is pointless."

"But you can eat them, right? You see Tom in Tom and Jerry always wanting to eat goldfish."

Shirakawa Sawahei retorted blankly, "That’s Tom; he eats mice too. How about you try eating one for me?"

"Yuck! Shirakawa, you’re gross!"

Tsukimi Sakurazawa naturally took Shirakawa’s hand, rolling her eyes at him, "Okay, no goldfish scooping then."

"But, as compensation, you have to come with me to fish a hundred water balloons!"

Water Ball Stand Owner: I suddenly have a bad feeling.
