My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess-Chapter 279 - 277: Roommate Tsukimi Sakurazawa

"Shirakawa Sawahei?"

The old landlady’s attitude softened a little and she asked, "What’s your name?"

"My name is Higashino Rin, and now I go by my husband’s surname. My former name was Shirakawa Lin..."

"Hold on a moment."

The landlady said, thinking about calling Shirakawa Sawahei, but then she reconsidered and retrieved the rental documents of Shirakawa Sawahei. Sure enough, the guardian’s name was Higashino Rin.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

The landlady said, "Shirakawa Sawahei is currently renting my other apartment. Do you have any business with him?"

"It’s like this. I sent him a letter before, saying I wanted to visit during the summer vacation... But the letter was returned, probably the address was incorrect... So I came here based on the information he gave over the phone to see how he’s doing."

"The first landlord said he’d moved, so I followed the information from the landlord to find you here."

"Could you kindly give me the address? I’d like to visit him tomorrow..."

"I see..."

The old landlady unlocked the door and kindly said, "Please come in first. Would you like a cup of tea?"

"No, thank you." Higashino Rin waved her hand in slight panic, "That would be too impolite... I’ve already disturbed your rest, if I went inside, I’d be even more sorry..."

"If I have the chance, I’ll visit you again before I leave to thank you for taking care of Sawahei."

"Uh... How is Sawahei... doing?"

...

After leaving the landlady’s place, Higashino Rin walked towards the hotel with a smile on her face. It was already quite late today; she decided to seek out Shirakawa Sawahei the following day.

From the way the old lady spoke, it seemed like her nephew was highly regarded, very ambitious, and also very polite. He seemed like a very good kid. She initially thought the old lady was just being polite, but upon thinking about it, it didn’t seem like it.

Has her nephew really changed that much after coming to the big city for studies?

Sharing an apartment with a girl... Is this really something Sawahei could do?

...

When the lazy girl woke up the next day, Shirakawa Sawahei was no longer by her side. She looked at the time with a sense of loss, feeling a bit perplexed.

When did Shirakawa leave? Why do I not remember at all?

Weren’t we supposed to stay up all night together, me playing games and him reading books? There’s definitely a player vibe here!

She pulled the blanket off herself and walked barefoot towards the outside, calling out, "Shirakawa~ Have you made breakfast?"

"When did you leave last night~ Ouch, my waist is so sore... You didn’t even let me lie down in a good position..."

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

Tsukimi Sakurazawa: "..."

Black Hearted Lolita: ???

Three pairs of eyes stared intently at the lazy girl who walked out of the room in her pajamas. For a moment, Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t quite know what to say.

"Shirakawa..."

Tsukimi Sakurazawa said quietly, "Are you two really just sharing an apartment... and not living together?"

Black Hearted Lolita: "It feels like we’re on the verge of calling the police..."

"I’m not sharing a room with her," Shirakawa Sawahei retorted at the girl upstairs, "You fell asleep playing games by yourself, it’s good enough I gave you a blanket."

And you! Asano Nazuki! Don’t think everyone is like you; even if the lazy girl and I were a couple sleeping together, it wouldn’t be like the FBI would break in!

"Ah? Sakurazawa-chan, Konatsuori?? Why are you here so early!" Ise Yu Yuzhijin quickly buttoned her pajama collar and ran downstairs, asking.

"It’s already nine o’clock... Orikin, you didn’t actually stay with Shirakawa last night, did you?"

"How could that happen... Shirakawa’s room is far away from mine... Is the flower viewing party starting this early?"

"Yes, but Xiao Mo hasn’t arrived yet..."

Ise Yu Yuzhijin responded with an "oh," then turned and asked in surprise, "Konatsuori, did you come with a crutch? Are you okay?"

"Don’t worry, I came along with her, Kaori said it was too lonely being home alone, so she wanted to come over no matter what."

"This so-called flower viewing party is fake, right? I bet you just wanted to come and hang out," Shirakawa Sawahei mercilessly teased, "You guys don’t plan on leaving today, do you?"

"Bingo~ I can help you with lunch, Shirakawa. By then, three culinary beauties will cook for you, prepare to be overwhelmed with gratitude!"

"I only know how to make omelet rice... How about we have omelet rice for lunch?"

"So many people, maybe we should cook something else~" the crybaby suggested, "How about I go with Shirakawa to buy groceries, and you guys prepare at home? We can cook together when we return?"

Shirakawa Sawahei: →_→

Hmm? Go grocery shopping together?

Black Hearted Lolita, aware of her own disadvantaged state, was a bit reluctant and said, "How about I go too~"

"Doctors say moderate exercise is beneficial for my recovery."

"In that case, I’ll go too!" Ise Yu Yuzhijin patted her stomach and said, "I wanted to go out for breakfast today anyway."

"Then you guys go, I’ll stay home and wait for Tachibana."

The crybaby hummed, pulling Shirakawa Sawahei’s arm, "Shirakawa, don’t try to slack off, let’s use a deck of cards to draw numbers to decide who’s staying!"

"Prepare yourself! I’ll go first!"

A moment later, the crybaby, holding the card with the smallest number, tearfully hugged Shirakawa Sawahei’s arm.

"Can we change the rules... Shirakawa~"

"Take good care of the house and wait for Tachibana to come."

Shirakawa Sawahei patted her small hand, then prepared to leave with Ise Yu Yuzhijin to buy ingredients. Black Hearted Lolita, seeing she was being left behind, got anxious, waving her card and shouting, "Shirakawa-kun! I won! You’re leaving me out!"

In front of so many people, Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t exactly pin her down on the sofa and tell her to chill, so he casually said, "Your legs aren’t convenient, just stay at home."

"Shirakawa-kun... Are you despising me... I get it, sorry, because of me, I caused everyone a lot of trouble... I’m very sorry..."

"You’re right... I’ve always been useless, often worrying others... and often making Shirakawa-kun angry..."

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

The lazy girl was touched by Little Green Tea Asano Nazuki’s act. She tugged Shirakawa Sawahei’s sleeve, pleading, "Let’s just take Konatsuori with us..."

Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at her.

"Then you support her."

"Leave it to me! Let’s go! I want hamburger steak for lunch today!"

"Shirakawa... Hey... Shirakawa... Are you really going to leave the cute president at home... Actually, we can have omelet rice today... I’m really good at making omelet rice too... Hey~ Come back soon, you jerk, don’t keep me waiting too long!"

Damn Shirakawa! So clueless! Big dummy!

The crybaby sat back on the sofa, frustrated. After moping for a while, she seemed to get bored and went to the kitchen to start tidying up to prepare for cooking. Not long after, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"How did they come back so fast... Forgot the key, huh?"

When she opened the door, she was met with a strange middle-aged woman’s face, and both the crybaby and Higashino Rin were momentarily stunned. Higashino Rin, looking at the cute girl before her, hesitated and asked, "Is this the Shirakawa residence?"

"I’m sorry to disturb you... I’m his aunt, my name is Higashino Rin..."

"Are you... Sawahei’s apartment mate?"
