Sakayanagi Arisu: What If Someone Isn't Satisfied?

The boy showed no impatience. After all, waiting for a girl to come out was a time-consuming process. Before becoming the Student Council President, he had to wait a long time every time he went shopping with Ichinose Honami, so he was used to it.

Squeak--ya.

Five minutes later, the door to Sakayanagi Arisu's dormitory finally opened, and the girl with short silver hair leaned on her cane and slowly walked up to the boy.

Good morning, Classmate Hashiba.

"Good morning."

Hashiba Hikaru thoughtfully extended her hand for Sakayanagi Arisu on, then looked the girl up and down at her outfit.

Sakayanagi Arisu's delicate features are beautiful even without makeup. Today, she wears a black beret over her dreamy silver hair, a light white plush coat, and an elegant knitted cardigan with a fur collar underneath, complete with a small bow tie at the chest.

Perhaps it was a girl's own habit, but today she still chose a short skirt that covered her knees, white stockings that covered her slender calves, and a pair of black leather shoes.

"Classmate Sakayanagi's outfit today is very cute, and it suits you perfectly."

Hashiba Hikaru continued to demonstrate her basic skills, praising the girl's outfit for the day.

"Classmate Hashiba looks handsome today too."

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled subtly, but a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

This was certainly not flattery; Hashiba Hikaru, standing before her, was indeed quite outstanding.

The benefits of long-term exercise are endless. The boy stood straight, exuding an aura of unparalleled confidence. His dark eyes shone like obsidian, complementing his handsome face, making it impossible to look away.

"Let's set off then. Where is our first stop today?"

Since today's date was proposed by Sakayanagi Arisu, he was merely fulfilling a promise, and all arrangements were naturally left to the girl to decide.

"I've already reserved a spot; it's a very quiet bookstore."

"Bookstore?"

Hearing her words, Hashiba Hikaru felt somewhat surprised. Generally speaking, it would be strange to choose a bookstore, a place that is inherently quiet, for a date.

Because lovers always have endless things to talk about, while you can chat in a bookstore, you basically have to maintain a very restrained state, which doesn't meet the basic needs of couples.

"Surprised?"

Sakayanagi Arisu placed her right hand on Hashiba Hikaru's arm and gripped her cane firmly in her left hand, ready to set off.

"It's not too surprising, but I haven't had breakfast yet. Would you like some, Classmate Sakayanagi?"

"What would you like to eat Classmate Hashiba?"

"Bread and milk, it's convenient and quick."

On weekends, if he's alone, Hashiba Hikaru usually gets his breakfast at the convenience store closest to his dorm. If someone is staying overnight in his dorm, he'll make breakfast for two.

"Then I'll do the same as Classmate Hashiba."

Sakayanagi Arisu didn't express much opinion and went along with choosing to eat the same things as Hashiba Hikaru.

"Um."

After breakfast, Hashiba Hikaru and Sakayanagi Arisu arrived at the location the girl had chosen, which was a very elegantly decorated bookstore.

What's particularly interesting is that the glass display case not only shows a lot of books, but also appears to have a black counter for making hot drinks. Beyond the rows of bookshelves, there are many tables and chairs for students to sit and read.

Where should we sit? Inside or outside?

When Hashiba Hikaru and Sakayanagi Arisu arrived at the bookstore, the boy noticed two tables set up outside, presumably for pedestrians to rest, with large parasols still in place even in winter.

"It's warm today, and we can even sunbathe outside."

Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to have thought this through beforehand, as she simply placed her cane on the chair next to her.

"That's fine. I'll go get a hot drink for Classmate Sakayanagi first. What would you like to drink?"

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at the counter inside. With winter approaching, many places were indeed selling hot drinks, which was a very good business opportunity.

"Hot coffee will do."

OK.

After the hot drinks were served, the two sat down outside the bookstore.

"What are you planning to do today, Classmate Sakayanagi?"

Hashiba Hikaru carefully selected the sugar cubes from the plate. Having already consumed quite a bit of sugar this morning, he decided to use less.

"I once read a quote that said playing some fun little games is a good way to get to know each other better."

Sakayanagi Arisu's expression was serene, and her tone gentle, "We can also chat in between, which can not only shorten the distance but also take our [half-couple] relationship to the next level. Who knows, maybe one day we'll become a real couple. What do you think, Classmate Hashiba?"

"That makes sense. What are you planning to do, Classmate Sakayanagi?"

Hashiba Hikaru added milk and sugar to the hot coffee beside her, stirred it twice, and then the aroma slowly rose.

How about Truth or Dare?

Sakayanagi Arisu pulled a deck of cards from her pocket, seemingly having come prepared.

"?"

Chapter 595 Sakayanagi Arisu: What if someone isn't satisfied?

Truth or Dare is a very special social game with a high degree of uncertainty. Both truth and dare questions may touch on sensitive topics. Because of this characteristic, playing with many people can actually increase the humor, and the playful banter can easily enhance the relationship between each other.

However, if there are only two people playing Truth or Dare, and one is a man and the other a woman, it immediately adds a layer of ambiguity to the game, since ordinary friends wouldn't play such a game alone for no reason.

"Truth or Dare?"

Hashiba Hikaru took a sip of her coffee. She Sakayanagi Arisu for very long, but she had a fairly clear understanding of the silver-haired girl's personality.

Since she took the initiative to suggest this game, it means she must have her own purpose.

"That's right, these are our game props."

Sakayanagi Arisu placed the playing cards she had just taken out on the table. "There are only number cards from 0 to 9 in there. I've already thrown away the rest of the cards."

"So how do we play? Compare sizes?"

Hashiba Hikaru casually picked up a few cards; the quality of the playing cards was quite good, they must be new ones she had bought.

"That's right. We'll shuffle the cards completely, then each person will draw a card, and the winner will be determined by the number revealed. It's that simple, isn't it?"

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly. The rules were indeed very simple: just compare the card values and let the loser choose truth or dare. A game would go by very quickly that way.

"Then let's do it this way, I have no objections."

Hashiba Hikaru put the playing cards back in her hand. Since this game was suggested by Sakayanagi Arisu, she might as well let her shuffle the cards.

"Okay, let me shuffle the cards completely. I'm really looking forward to it."

Sakayanagi Arisu stretched out her hand to shuffle the cards. Although the girl had difficulty walking, her small hands were very nimble, and she quickly completed several rounds of shuffling.

"Classmate Hashiba, you can draw the first one first, I'll draw after you."

After shuffling the cards, Sakayanagi Arisu gestured for the other player to draw first.

"Good."

Without much hesitation, Hashiba Hikaru Hashima immediately drew the first card, Sakayanagi Arisu then drew the second.

"Open it."

The results of the first round were revealed: Hashiba Hikaru drew the 7 of Diamonds, while Sakayanagi Arisu drew the 9 of Clubs. The winner of the first round was none other than the person who started the game.

"Looks like I won. What's your choice, Classmate Hashiba?"

The girl's beautiful eyes were fixed on Hashiba Hikaru's face, as if she cared deeply about this choice.

"Truth or dare."

Hashiba Hikaru took another sip of coffee. After hearing the rules of the game, the boy could roughly guess what Sakayanagi Arisu thinking.

In the game of Truth or Dare, both truth and dare are quite risky, but if there are very few people participating, or even only two, choosing truth might actually be slightly easier.

"Alright then, since Classmate Hashiba has made her choice, I'll ask my question now."

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly, then threw out her question.

"My question is... among the girls who have close relationships with Classmate Hashiba, who would you most like to marry?"

"Honami."

Upon hearing this honest question, Hashiba Hikaru gave her answer almost without hesitation.

"..."

When the Sakayanagi Arisu gave his answer so quickly, a look of surprise flashed across the girl's delicate face, as Hashiba Hikaru's reaction was completely unexpected.

"What? Are you not satisfied with this answer, Classmate Sakayanagi?"

Hashiba Hikaru raised an eyebrow, looking at the silver-haired girl's face with a half-smile.

"No, Classmate Hashiba's answer was very sincere; that's what makes a qualified player."

Sakayanagi Arisu nodded, her expression returning to calm.

"Then let's move on to the next round."

The second round of card drawing was completed quickly. Hashiba Hikaru revealed her hand: the 3 of hearts. Sakayanagi Arisu was the 5 of diamonds. She was the winner of this round again.

Let's be honest.

Before Sakayanagi Arisu asked him a question, Hashiba Hikaru gave his choice, and answering the truth really didn't put any pressure on him.

"Good."

After taking in the calm expression on the other person's face, Sakayanagi Arisu for a moment before asking her second question.

"Since Classmate Hashiba 're planning to have them all, how do you intend to take responsibility for those girls' lives?"

This question was more pointed than before. If there were other people present, Sakayanagi Arisu wouldn't have asked it, but precisely because there were only two of them today, she wanted to delve deeper into the boy's mind and find out what he was really thinking.

"... Classmate Sakayanagi's question is really sensitive, no wonder we play games like this."

Hashiba Hikaru rubbed his temples. He never liked to talk at length about his personal relationships, but since Sakayanagi Arisu had asked, there was no point in lying. In any case, the silver-haired girl opposite him was also included in the category of "[those girls]".

"I will support everyone's dreams, whether it's career pursuits or life aspirations. In addition, I also intend to acquire a solid financial foundation, which is essential."

Is that all?

Sakayanagi Arisu seemed a little unsatisfied and asked another question.

"What else does Classmate Sakayanagi want to know?"

"Life choices and financial foundation are both important, but there's one more thing that Classmate Hashiba didn't mention."

Sakayanagi Arisu stared intently at his face. "For example, your emotional inclinations. If you plan to marry Ichinose, would other people really be willing to be a mistress without a formal title?"

"... This is indeed a complicated matter, because everyone has their own selfish motives, and I can't force everyone to change their minds, but I have already promised Honami's family that I will definitely marry her."

Hashiba Hikaru understands that his greed will cause many girls to suffer, but the promise he made during the winter break was not a lie, and Ichinose Honami is indeed the most suitable wife in the boy's heart, and this has never changed.

"Ichinose's family really hold such a heavy place in your heart?"

Sakayanagi Arisu quite surprised. He had always been able to sense the pride in Hashiba Hikaru's heart, and it was precisely this unique pride that attracted her so much.

But do his girlfriend's family really hold that much weight in Hashiba Hikaru's heart? Sakayanagi Arisu doesn't think so.

"Of course not because of that..."

Hashiba Hikaru shook her head. "However, the reasons are somewhat complicated and involve Honami's personal privacy. Please don't ask any more questions, Classmate Sakayanagi. This answer is not in our game."

"But you haven't finished answering the initial question, have you? If anyone is dissatisfied, what do you plan to do, Classmate Hashiba? I believe there are other people who want to be your wife."

"I will think of the most suitable solution; that's the answer I can give at this stage."

"... All right."

Sakayanagi Arisu noticed the change in Hashiba Hikaru's tone. She was an extremely intelligent girl; having already penetrated deep into the boy's heart, she certainly didn't want to provoke his dislike, otherwise all her efforts would be in vain.

"Then let's proceed with the third round of card drawing."
