"Delicious."
"Where did you buy these cream puffs?"
"Hm, tell me about that place. I'll drop by there sometimes. The taste is really good."
Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression was unbelievably satisfied while eating the cream puff, and together with the traces at the corner of her mouth, someone who didn't know better would think she was eating something extraordinary. Her way of eating could only be described as truly free and direct; there was no other adjective for it. Of course, it was also completely normal, at most just a little less elegant compared to these people.
However, the people around her were obviously already used to it.
Shiro couldn't help but remind her to pay attention to her appearance at that moment, but she didn't care in the slightest.
"Don't pay attention to such details. Men who nitpick aren't popular."
Shiro looked at her carefree expression and was left somewhat speechless. He kindly reminded her, but she didn't want to listen, right? Fine! You win.
"Alright, as long as you're happy."
After finishing eating, Hiratsuka Shizuka wiped her hands and then her mouth. Then she looked at Shiro and spoke seriously.
"Let me ask you something, brat. You really can solve those things, right?"
The girls were somewhat surprised by that. After all, talking about this topic with a serious expression after everything definitely meant something was wrong.
"Tell me, what exactly do I need to solve? Let me say this first, I don't work for free. Moreover, if it's about those so-called upper-class people, then they also need to understand one thing: my current situation isn't exactly good. If you're asking for my help, make sure you don't get dragged into it yourselves."
Shiro had to make this clear beforehand to avoid problems or ending up being blamed later. After all, he trusted her, but not the others.
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at how he first set conditions and was left somewhat speechless. Was that really necessary? She wasn't one of those ungrateful people, nor did she fail to understand the interests involved. She definitely wouldn't do something like turn against him after he helped.
"What kind of person do you take me for? Do I look like someone who burns bridges behind themselves?"
"I'm your homeroom teacher, after all. Someone enthusiastic, responsible, and gentle toward her students..."
"How could I possibly do something like that?"
After hearing her series of words, the people present thought: we acknowledge the first two parts, but the later one is really hard to say. Of course, nobody wanted to feel the retaliation of the iron fist, so everyone wisely stayed silent. Only one fearless person spoke up.
"Are you sure you're serious about that? I admit the first two things you said, but the later part... I really can't."
This guy is brave, all the girls thought. After all, there really was someone fearless enough to say something like that.
However, after thinking about it a little, it seemed that aside from this fearless guy, nobody else dared to speak. It could only be said that he was impressive.
In any case, ordinary mortals like them truly didn't dare answer her like that.
A vein popped on Hiratsuka Shizuka's temple after someone said that. She truly wanted to unleash a wave of retaliation on that scoundrel.
However, she thought about it and restrained herself. After all, she constantly had to calm herself down, reminding herself that she couldn't beat this guy. Moreover, if they really fought, she would be the one getting beaten up. And most importantly, this guy might shamelessly cling to her and demand that she take responsibility for what happened to him. How could she possibly take responsibility for that? This little brat was thinking too much. At the same time, she hadn't even asked him to cause her trouble; the cost of eye cleansing had already been included.
"I'm not that kind of person, and also, can you stop thinking about me as darkly as you think about yourself?"
"What do you mean 'as darkly as I think about myself'? You'd better explain that clearly or I'll sue you for slander!"
At that moment, the two of them looked as if they had suddenly eaten gunpowder, arguing with each other while neither wanted to back down.
At that moment, these people could only separate them, some pulling Shiro away, others pulling their homeroom teacher away, just in case the two of them really started a real PK. Of course, their intuition told them Shiro was crazy, but if a PK really happened, things would become complicated.
Shiro actually had no intention of PK-ing with her; her words had simply annoyed him.
One drank cola, the other beer. After they finished drinking, their anger calmed down, and then the person who had the request spoke first.
"Tell me honestly. How confident are you regarding those things?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka wanted confirmation so she wouldn't create problems and drag this guy into trouble again.
"If I say there's nothing I can't solve, I don't know whether you'll believe me. In any case, my words remain the same: there's nothing I can't solve. Believe it or not, that's a fact."
"If I didn't have the ability, I would've run away long ago in a situation like this."
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Shiro with a disbelieving gaze, thinking he was bragging.
Shiro saw that look and felt slightly irritated. She doubted him that much?
Can't there be a little more trust between people? Seriously.
"Lala."
"You know her identity. I have that kind of fiancée and have experienced countless assassination attempts. Not to mention that her father is the ruler of the galaxy, capable of destroying planets, and I still don't even blink."
"Moreover, people on our planet are at best capable of destroying landmarks, and there are no characters who can destroy a planet. Of course, supernatural beings don't count; I'm talking about humans. Even if they're supernatural beings, it doesn't matter. I can even easily defeat her father, the ruler of the galaxy."
"Just tell me what the request is. The question isn't whether I can do it, but whether I want to."
At this moment, Shiro could be said to be extremely arrogant, but the focus of these people wasn't on that.
"You didn't actually beat up your father-in-law too, did you?"
Itsuki stupidly blurted out that sentence at that moment. Shiro was speechless after hearing it. What kind of situation was this? Couldn't they focus on something else?
He was unbelievably impressive, alright? Was it normal for them to focus on this?
"What's wrong with beating up my father-in-law? A father-in-law isn't my wife. Moreover, the relationship between a father-in-law and son-in-law is practically the relationship of natural enemies, so would I have any psychological burden hitting him?"
Shiro's words sounded fairly reasonable, but as a still undiscovered little daddy's girl, she felt that this person was somewhat brutal.
"Of course, let's not talk about these digressions anymore. If you have something to say, say it quickly."
"Don't be like women, constantly nagging and rambling."
