My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess-Chapter 559: Spin-off: The First Life Consultation of the Calligraphy Club (Tsukimi Sakurazawa)

Chapter 559: Spin-off: The First Life Consultation of the Calligraphy Club (Tsukimi Sakurazawa)

Lightly pushing the door open, the scene in the activity room took Shirakawa Sawahei by a little surprise—Tachibana, the obedient and cute classmate, was not sitting at the table as usual. Instead, the large Calligraphy Club activity room was occupied by another girl with a completely different style from Tachibana Tomoku.

She sat quietly at the table, brush in hand, focused and composed, her eyes intently observing the rice paper in front of her. The tip of the brush, soaked in ink, gathered at the movement of the girl’s hand, as if a single breath’s tremor would cause a large ink spot to fall on the white paper.

The path of calligraphy lies in calm concentration, where person and brush become one.

In the next moment, the girl swiftly wielded the brush, her strokes flowing smoothly and in one breath across the rice paper...

...drawing a smiling face...

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

Honestly, if the student council sees how lax and perfunctory this club’s activities are, there’s no way any application for club activities, retreats, and such would be approved.

"Today’s practice was already very diligent, so let’s continue to work hard tomorrow~"

The beautiful girl stretched, and her school uniform immediately showcased a stunning curve. Her hair fell gracefully over her shoulders as she squinted her eyes, seeing Shirakawa Sawahei’s arrival, and instantly froze in place.

The two exchanged a silent glance before mutually and tacitly averting their eyes.

"Ahem... Mr. Shirakawa..."

Shirakawa Sawahei made a stopping gesture and calmly said, "Department Director Tsukimi, there’s no need to explain..."

"From the moment I joined the Calligraphy Club, I was prepared for this kind of situation."

"Hey! That makes it sound like I’m an irresponsible department head!" The long-legged cute girl puffed her cheeks in discontent: "Our Calligraphy Club’s club activity results have always been No.1 you know!"

"And I wasn’t slacking off just now; I had already been practicing for a long time before you came!!"

"I know."

"Mr. Shirakawa, could your expression be a bit more sincere?"

Shirakawa Sawahei nodded, didn’t follow up, and changed the subject: "Where’s Tachibana?"

"Tachibana had something at home today and took a leave. It seems like her parents, whom she hasn’t seen in a while, came back... It must be nice to reunite with her parents~"

"Hmm, got it." Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t pursue the matter further and walked towards the table near the beautiful girl minister, Tsukimi Sakurazawa.

"Mr. Shirakawa?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you planning to end the club activities early as usual today?" Tsukimi blinked curiously: "Do you have a part-time job again today?"

"No need."

"Hmm?"

"I changed jobs." Shirakawa Sawahei said calmly.

"Eh?"

"I got fired from my last job."

"..."

"You seem quite shocked."

"Of course I’m shocked... Mr. Shirakawa, why would you get fired..."

"Possibly because the boss’s niece is going to take over my position?"

"Ha? There’s such an absurd reason for being fired... We should go demand an explanation!"

"No need." Shirakawa Sawahei shook his head: "My job didn’t have any technical content, being easily replaced is normal."

"It’s not like anyone can become a master by serving plates."

"Well, you never know."

"..."

That made some sense... after all, since crossing over to this world...

"Oof~! Mr. Shirakawa! Don’t be disheartened! Even if this family restaurant doesn’t want you, you can try other jobs or change the work environment? Like those jobs where a girl can never replace you..." Tsukimi Sakurazawa encouraged, shaking her small fist.

"Are you talking about being a host?"

"No, not at all... Like being at a Butler Cafe?"

"No." Shirakawa Sawahei replied decisively: "Besides, I’ve never even seen a Butler Cafe."

"True, it seems like there are more Maid Cafes... There’s one on that street over there..."

"What decent guy would work at a Maid Cafe." Shirakawa Sawahei retorted.

"I see..." Tsukimi Sakurazawa sighed in disappointment: "Well... Mr. Shirakawa, exams are coming up, wouldn’t job hunting be..."

Shirakawa Sawahei let out a melancholy sigh.

Who’s to say. Ever since crossing over, aside from earning living expenses through part-time jobs, he devoted all his time to honing his skills and studying diligently for his grand plan. Unfortunately, time is limited each day, and how much energy he can use on honing study skills after a tiring part-time job is not guaranteed.

Given these starting conditions, his comeback plan is clearly progressing a bit slowly.

The skills have to be honed slowly... The part-time work also has to be done well... Even if he can get a scholarship, that’s something for the next semester. At present, besides doing some trivial jobs to maintain his living, the best plan is to wait.

Once his skills are sufficiently honed, he can start thinking about using the skills he acquired from the Study Princess to earn the rewards he desires.

However, even though everyone knows the dawn will be beautiful, countless people fail to endure the long night of waiting. Despite Shirakawa Sawahei’s typically firm will, he couldn’t help feeling a bit melancholic and down right now.

"Um... Mr. Shirakawa?" Tsukimi Sakurazawa tentatively said: "Would you like to borrow some money from me, actually, I..."

"No need."

"Sorry... I didn’t mean it like that..." The beautiful girl minister waved her hands repeatedly: "I...I just think you seem a little down..."

Shirakawa Sawahei shook his head lightly: "I understand your good intention, but I can manage."

"..."

"I’m not mad at you." Shirakawa Sawahei said helplessly: "Don’t look at me like that."

"Phew~ That’s good..." Tsukimi Sakurazawa patted her well-endowed chest, "It was my fault for saying something wrong just now, I’ll punish myself with three cups and treat you later~"

"No need, I’m going to look for a job later."

"Then I’ll go with you, Mr. Shirakawa!"

Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at Tsukimi Sakurazawa...

For some reason, Shirakawa Sawahei always felt that the vibe of this girl didn’t seem like one of a part-timer...

"Can’t do that either..." Tsukimi Sakurazawa sighed: "You’re right, Mr. Shirakawa, what you need now is a way to regain your energy... If only you were a girl, girls can just eat sweet treats to rejuvenate."

"Is there a quick way for guys to regain their energy..."

"..."

The two were silent for a while, then suddenly met each other’s gaze. After hesitating for a moment, Shirakawa Sawahei quickly refused: "Let’s not talk about that..."

"..."

"What does ’let’s not talk about that’ mean, Mr. Shirakawa, are you thinking the same thing as me?"

Shirakawa Sawahei was unfazed: "Of course, it’s the same."

"Then why not!" Tsukimi Sakurazawa pouted her rosy little mouth in dissatisfaction: "After all, it’s my first time too."

"..."

"Life consultation! Mr. Shirakawa! Although it’s my first time, I’ve seen how others do it, so don’t worry!"

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Sawahei was taken aback, secretly breathed a sigh of relief...

Yeah, as long as I don’t say it, no one will know...

Although he wasn’t really into the life consultation of the beautiful girl minister, Shirakawa Sawahei still honestly turned to face her.

Life consultation... Just ask a few questions to accommodate her, after all, it’s one of the few friendly gestures from his friend.

The two quietly faced each other for a while. Just as Shirakawa Sawahei was about to speak, Tsukimi Sakurazawa suddenly waved her hand: "Stop, stop...is this it?"

"What else?"

"Life consultation should have an atmosphere after all..."

Shirakawa Sawahei paused, puzzled in his heart, wondering where he should find an atmosphere group for her life consultation. Yet, Tsukimi Sakurazawa wouldn’t relent: "Mr. Shirakawa, now you have to calm your mind and adjust your breathing..."

"..."

"Ah, why don’t you have that kind of healing feeling..."

"Because you haven’t done anything yet."

"Oh, oh, right..." Tsukimi Sakurazawa said: "Let’s just Google it... Steps for life consultation..."

"...lap pillow effect? What’s that supposed to mean?"

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t help glancing at the white, tender thigh under the red and black plaid striped skirt of the girl’s uniform. With the season transitioning from spring to summer, the lack of black fabric was not an obstacle. Whether the girl’s thigh is better or worse to lie on, he had no way of knowing.

"Let’s skip that part..." Shirakawa Sawahei began to look away.

"Sounds about right..." The beautiful girl minister shielded her skirt a bit, clearing her throat, "Mr. Shirakawa, do you have any confusion or unresolved issues buried in your heart?"

"Yeah."

"What is it?"

"Not doing well in my studies."

"Aren’t you doing quite well in your studies?"

"It’s not like I’m first in my grade, nothing to be proud of."

"..."

"No, no, Mr. Shirakawa, you completely lack the mindset for life consultation..." Tsukimi Sakurazawa gritted her teeth, putting on a do-or-die look: "Come on! To prove I’m a useful minister..."

"Mr. Shirakawa... please lie down..."

"It’s not necessary..."

"What do you mean it’s not necessary, are you the minister or am I the minister..." Tsukimi Sakurazawa’s small face slightly reddened, "I’ve also made a big psychological preparation... Now... lie down for me immediately..."

"..."

"Ugh..."

"What’s wrong..."

"Your hair... it’s tickling me..."

"..."

"Let’s forget about it then..."

"No way! If we’re doing it, we’ll see it through to the end! I’m just a bit nervous because it’s the first time... don’t move yet, Mr. Shirakawa..."

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

Student council inspection personnel casually passing by outside the activity room: "???"

"Alright, time to start..."

"What kind of club is this!"

The student council inspector turned red, suddenly pushing open the door and just happened to see the scene of Sakurazawa grabbing Shirakawa Sawahei’s head...

The situation was quite awkward for a moment...

"Improper behavior among schoolmates! Calligraphy Club, right? Department Director Tsukimi, watch yourself!"

"Hey! Wait a minute! Miss! We weren’t! Mr. Shirakawa, get up already!"

"If you stop holding me down, I can get up..."

"Quick! Stop her!" Tsukimi Sakurazawa covered her face, both shy and angry: "If you don’t catch her, my reputation is ruined..."

"..."

Although all in all, the process was a bit odd... Tsukimi Sakurazawa’s first life consultation seemed to have resolved Shirakawa Sawahei’s confusion in another way.

Today’s result: Student council inspection wins.
