I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Chapter 102: One stone, three birds

Shishio patted Shiina's head gently and called out her name. "Mashiro."

Shiina lifted her head and looked at Shishio in confusion.

Shishio then pulled Shiina's cheeks without hesitation. He had always wanted to pull her cheeks, and he had to admit that it was quite addicting since it was very soft.

"..." Shiro-san, Ritsu, and Misaki.

"What are you doing?" Shiina asked with confusion, but her tone was a bit weird since her cheeks were pulled.

"Mashiro, you're still young, no, we're still young so it is alright if we make a mistake." Shishio smiled gently and said, "But you should remember that no matter what your decision, I will support you no matter what, whether you're going to give up on manga to return to the world of art again, or whether you're going to return to the UK, or you want to continue to learn a manga, I will support you, so don't be afraid and just walk. I'll support you."

"...." Shiina stared at Shishio and wasn't sure how to describe her emotions at that moment, but somehow she felt that she was at the flower field with a lot of beautiful flowers blooming at the same time, and this young man appeared in front of her, protecting her like a knight.

"So don't show such an expression again and smile, it is your future, you should think of it positively rather than pessimistically," Shishio said with a smile and patted her Shiina's head gently.

Shiina couldn't answer Shishio's words, after all, she had never felt this feeling before, but one thing for sure, she was very happy at this moment. "Yes." She wanted to look straight at him, but there was a strange feeling in her heart that made her shy, but at the same time, she wanted to see him, which caused her heart to be contradictory.

Ritsu and Misaki looked at the scene in front of them with complicated eyes.

"I'll take a rest first." Shishio then looked at Ritsu then said, "I'm sorry, Kawai-senpai, but can you?"

"Don't worry." Ritsu nodded gently, but her feelings were complicated at that moment.

"Shiro-san, I haven't written anything, but once I've written it, can I ask you for advice?" Shishio asked.

"Sure, just bring it when you're ready," Shiro-san said without hesitation, then watched Shishio's back that slowly disappeared before looking at the expression of the three girls, shaking his head slightly, thinking that Shishio was a sinful man.

---

Shishio was about to return to his room, but before that he looked at Sorata's room, before shaking his head. His room was right next to Sorata and he could pretty much tell that Sorata had returned before, but this guy tried to avoid contact with him, so he also didn't think too much.

Shishio then returned to his room since there were a lot of things that he needed to do and that first thing such as calling Claudia Hodgins and doing research about his opponent on the "Kengan Match".

Shishio, without hesitation, took his phone and directly called out Claudia, and as expected, the phone directly connected.

"Boss!!!!"

Shishio pulled his phone away from his ear with a frown and said, "Calm down Hodgins."

"I can't calm down! You're going to enter the "Kengan Match"?! What are you thinking, boss?!" When Claudia knew that Shishio had entered the "Kengan Match" so he could become half of the investors of the wind farm that was planned by Togo's company. Even though he had to admit that the wind farm was very good, Shishio's life was worth more than that, and for a measly, 5 billion yen worth of contract, he didn't think that Shishio should enter the "Kengan Match", especially when he knew that Shishio's opponent would be Kanoh Agito.

"Calm down, Hodgins." Shishio sighed and said, "You should know that as a boy, you must have this one dream, right?"

"Dream? What are you talking about?" Claudia was confused at how their conversation would turn into a dream, after all, they were talking about his "Kengan Match" before.

"As a boy, have you dreamed of becoming the strongest person on earth?" Shishio asked.

"Well..." Claudia thought for a while and remembered the superhero cartoons that he had watched during his childhood time and at that time, he also dreamed of becoming the strongest man on earth to save everyone from everything whether it was war, robber, bandit, pirates, etc but... "Yes, I have, but that's impossible, boss." He knew his own limits and he also stopped having such a naive dream.

"It's possible." Shishio was laying on his head, his expression turned into a bright smile, and said, "The strongest fighter in the "Kengan Match", if I can win against this person, then shouldn't I become the strongest?"

"..." Claudia was in silence, and his heart was trembling since he could feel his bloodlust, a child-like excitement, and a desire to fight, even from the distance, which was why he could only sigh and say, "Boss, when you go, don't forget to bring Roberta with you, at least, you need someone to protect you." He also thought that it was also better to call the hospital to prepare, after all, his boss was going to fight, but at the same time, he had to admit that it wasn't wrong to follow such a boss since such an ambition was worth following, but he had to admit that Shishio was a bit reckless, but he had gotten used to it since he knew that his boss loved gambling, but more than that, as a man, he also understood Shishio's desire to become the strongest.

"Roberta..." Shishio murmured and nodded. "Alright." He also thought about calling Roberta, after all, not liking it when he was left unprotected, and after all, wasn't sure whether he could get out unscathed or not from the fight. "Well, let's continue with the business, is the contract ready?"

"Yes, it is ready, we have signed the contract with Iwami Heavy Industries as half of the investors of the wind farm," Claudia said without hesitation.

Electricity wasn't cheap in Japan and it was a very precious resource, which was why this wind farm was a great investment.

Shishio thought to build his own energy company in Japan, or rather was it possible for him to get some shares of the energy company then it was all good.

Both of them then continued to talk about both "Kengan Match" and the wind farm contract, until Claudia asked, "Is there something again, boss?"

"Right, can you buy "Android"?" Shishio asked.

"Android?" Claudia was confused.

Shishio raised his hand, staring at the ceiling, and said, "I feel like the development of cellphones is going to be more advanced in the future, and Android is necessary for that, but I want you to do a deep research on it first and tell me whether there's some company that wants to acquire it, if possible, we have to get Android before someone else."

"I see." Claudia nodded and said, "I'll work on it as soon as possible."

Shishio knew that Android was very necessary for one company, but he thought to grab it, after all, he knew how useful this operating system was, and he also thought to develop the "AppStore", by then he could get 30% of the total sales of the app, without doing anything, like both A*pple and G*ogle.

The reason why A*pple could become such a huge company wasn't that this company sold a smartphone, but it was because of all the apps that were sold on the "AppStore" inside the smartphone, A*pple would take 30% cut of the sales, which was why it could become such a huge company.

G*ogle was also the same, after all, they could also get a 30% cut of the sales of the app that was sold on the "G*oogle Play".

Shishio's ambition was big, and even if he failed, he knew that he wouldn't lose money, after all, he was sure that there were a lot of people who wanted to buy Android once they knew its potential, but if he was successful, then he might as well buy a country, then created a harem there.

Joking aside, Shishio didn't give the details about Android to Claudia, but one thing was for sure, he needed Claudia to do deep research about this.

They talked for a while before they ended their conversation.

Shishio then raised his body and thought to watch Kanoh Agito's match on the laptop, but his phone vibrated once again, but this time, he frowned since he didn't know whose number it was. He looked at his phone for a while before answering it. "Hello?"

"Um, is this Oga Shishio?"

Shishio raised his eyebrow when he heard a female's voice, and after he got a "Music Mastery", he was very keen on voice, so he quickly remembered who this person was. "...Are you Kawasaki Saki?"

"It's great that you remember me," Saki said while letting out a sigh of relief and felt happy when Shishio remembered her by her voice.

"Well, it is very hard to forget about you since the impression I've got for you is very strong," Shishio said with a smile while turning on his laptop.

"What? What kind of impression do you have of me?" Saki was startled and curious.

"Strong and sweet girl," Shishio said simply.

"Wha--?!" There was a moment of pause, before Saki said, "You know, you shouldn't say something like that, or we, girl, might misunderstand you." But she didn't realize that there was a smile on her mouth.

"I see... should I call you a delinquent girl for going out late at night," Shishio asked.

"....Are you teasing me?" Saki asked with a slightly annoyed tone, but there was a smile on her face.

"Well, what's wrong? Why did you call me? You're not being troubled by those thugs again, right?" Shishio quickly asked, wondering whether Saki was troubled by those thugs before.

"No, no, I'm alright, but I haven't said my thanks to you, or rather, let me treat you to something to save me that night," Saki quickly said with a blush on her face.

Even though Shishio couldn't see Saki's face at this moment, he thought that her expression would be very cute at this moment. He thought for a while and said, "Then how about you treat me to Matsuya (gyuudon chain restaurants)?"

"Eh?" Saki was startled and asked, "Is something cheap alright?"

"It's alright, I love it," Shishio said. In truth, he wanted her to treat him to Wagnaria, but the meal on Wagnaria wasn't cheap and he knew that Saki didn't have that much money.

"Is that so?" Saki was surprised, but she didn't think too much and agreed since she thought that Shishio liked gyuudon. "I'll treat you to Matsuyua."

"Alright, then when are we going to meet?" Shishio asked directly.

"How about tomorrow night? Is that alright with you?" Saki asked.

"Tomorrow night?" Shishio tried to remember whether he had an appointment that night or not.

"You can't?" Saki asked.

"No, it should be alright, let's meet each other tomorrow night at Matsuya," Shishio said.

"Alright," Saki said.

"Then I'll see you tomorrow, bye Kawasaki," Shishio said.

"Um, bye Oga," Saki said.

They ended the call, and Shishio put down his cellphone then took some discs and documents that were prepared by Togo. It might be his first time for the "Kengan Match", but he had to admit that he felt quite excited about it since he could test his ability in this match.

---

When the call ended, Saki looked at her phone and smiled. She was glad that she braved herself to call him tonight since because of that, she could meet him again, but at the same time, she looked at the time and sighed, knowing that she needed to go for his part-time job.
