I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Chapter 713: Detective Shishio

As the movie started, everyone was quiet. No one said anything, but he could hear a sob, which could be heard occasionally. He didn’t doubt the quality of his movie. Instead, he was fully confident about this movie.

Even Shiina couldn’t take her eyes off the movie, watching this movie almost without blinking her eyes.

Yui’s acting might seem a bit awkward, but with his help, it was good, especially in the last scene where she stood in front of Tokyo Bay as she cried and screamed at him.

“Are you okay? I am fine!”

As she shouted those words, she couldn’t control her emotions. It was difficult for her to breathe as the memory of him flashed in her mind, and tears kept dripping from her eyes.

With that scene, the movie ended, and everyone wiped their tears away.

“Ugh…”

“What is this movie?”

“Isn’t it a shame to show this movie here?”

“I want to make an anime version of this!”

“….”

Shishio, Yui, Yukinoshita, and Hikigaya were speechless by everyone’s reaction, but when they looked at each other, they smiled and felt happy since their movie was received with great enthusiasm by everyone.

Everyone wanted them to replay the movie, but he stopped them since he decided to play it once, and next time, they could only watch it at the cultural festival.

While they felt helpless, they could do nothing before they returned to their class, club, or other places since they had many things to do. The movie lasted about half an hour, and it wasn’t that long, but for the people who didn’t know what they were doing, they had gone quite a while, so they had to return quickly.

By now, there were only Hikigaya, Yui, Yukinoshita, and Shishio.

There were only four of them, so they had nothing to hold back.

“By the way, how much is the movie ticket?” Hikigaya asked.

“150 yen.”

“Well…” Hikigaya did a mental calculator and thought it should be possible to reach 200 people or even more, but at least it was possible for them to get 15,000 yen, which made him gratified.

Was 15,000 yen a lot?

Not really, but for an average high school student like Hikigaya, this amount of money was a lot, especially in 2005 when the inflation wasn’t high.

“By the way, are we not going to watch over this place and just leave it alone?” Yui asked curiously.

“Well, some of us will come to visit from time to time, but mostly, we won’t be here. Instead, we will let the customers pay by themselves and let the movie play by itself automatically.”

While it might be necessary for someone to stay for a certain exhibition, it wasn’t that necessary for someone to stay in this type of exhibition since no one thought that someone dared to steal the money. Instead, if they dared, Yukinoshita was sure that Shishio might send that person to Tokyo Bay.

Everything was settled, but Yukinoshita asked, “By the way, Shishio-kun, are you sure your teacher’s situation will be okay?”

“It should be. After this incident, security has become stricter, and it is said there will be cameras at the entrance of the school, so something similar won’t happen. The only problem is probably the literature club since I have a feeling that my club will be aimed.”

Yukinshita frowned and asked, “Should I let someone watch over that place?”

“Well…” He thought for a moment and said, “When the first day of the cultural festival ends, how about you let the committee members do a patrol? After all, during that time, the security is quite lax.”

When everyone was tired and rested after a busy day, it was the most vulnerable moment since, at that time, the person that harassed Kiriya might appear and do something to the literature club or other places in the school.

However, this attack wasn’t a bad thing since it also made the school think about the security of the school more.

After all, Suimei was a private school, which meant reputation was everything.

If something similar happened, then it would bring a bad reputation to their school, so they would do everything, so nothing similar would happen.

“I will say something to the meeting later.” Yukinoshita nodded.

“I will also tell you if I see someone suspicious,” Hikigaya said.

“Me too! Me too!” Yui raised her hand high.

“What are you going to do, Senpai?” Shishio looked at Yui curiously.

“…….” Yui.

Hikigaya and Yukinoshita also looked at Yui at the same time, wondering what this girl could do.

Yui was watched by everyone and realized that this was the most important point of her life to show them that she wasn’t stupid.

‘Think! Think! Think!’

She kept thinking until she finally found the answer!

“I-I will use my dog to catch the culprit!”

“……..”

“Wh-What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Yui suddenly became nervous.

However, Yui wasn’t the one who was wrong. Instead, they were in awe since they didn’t expect Yui to use her head.

“That’s a great idea, Senpai!”

“It seems you’re not stupid.”

Shishio and Hikigaya praised Yui since it was rare for her to use her head.

“Hehehe…” Yui looked at them happily as if asking them to praise her more.

“Yes, it is a good idea, but you forget about one thing, Yui-san.”

“Huh? Did I forget something, Yukinon?” Yui asked curiously.

“You forgot that a pet wasn’t allowed to be brought to the cultural festival.”

“…….” Yui.

Shishio looked at Yui pitifully and caressed her head gently.

Yui cried and hugged him pitifully.

Meanwhile, Hikigaya rolled his eyes and thought that this guy really had never changed. Fortunately, Shishio didn’t seem to have an interest in Totsuka, which greatly relieved him.

‘Wait, what am I getting relieved about?’

“By the way, can I ask you something?” Yukinoshita asked.

“Sure.” Shishio nodded.

“Why were you so sure that the teacher wouldn’t do something that the graffiti was told?” Yukinoshita asked with great doubt since it was her first time to know Shishio to have such great trust in this teacher.

Unlike Shishio, she couldn’t have that much trust in this teacher since, as Yumiko said, “There is no smoke without a fire.”

The cultural festival was something that she wanted to make succeed no matter what, so if erasing Kiriya could solve everything, it was easy. After all, she didn’t know Kiriya, so she didn’t care much about him.

“What you’re saying is normal. I understand why you doubt him. If I were in your place, I might fire Kiriya-sensei, but to be honest, I don’t like this type of method.”

“Why?”

“Because if something similar happens, I will do the same. Sacrificing one person, so everyone can live happily. I hate this method.”

“……..”

Yukinoshita fell silent, wondering whether she had become someone she hated the most.

“Shishio-kun?”

She looked at him, who had hugged her so suddenly.

“You’re not wrong. This is a normal choice if one is in a high position. If I don’t know Kiriya-sensei well, I might ignore him, but I like to learn everything before I make a conclusion since it isn’t fair for Kiriya-sensei if we don’t hear anything from his side.”

“Well, that’s true.” Yukinoshita leaned on his chest, then said, “I will leave everything to you.”

“Good.” He then moved closer and asked, “Will you give me some rewards then?”

“…okay.”

He whispered something, which made her blush.

Still, Yui also joined.

On the other hand, Hikigaya’s lips twitched, and he felt speechless, hoping Totsuka didn’t return too early.

“However, there is one reason why I believe he is innocent.”

Shishio believed that Kiriya was innocent, and he believed that Kiraya didn’t do anything because of this?”

“Why?” 2x

Yui and Yukinoshita were curious.

Hikigaya also looked at him, waiting for the answer.

“Before I tell you the reason, I am that the culprit, without a doubt, is a female.”

“Why a female?”

“Because if the culprit is a male, he won’t say something like Kiriya-sensei is a lecherous teacher. I mean, why should a guy write something like that?”

“……” 3x

They were speechless, but Shishio was right. If it was a guy, there was no way for them to write something so misleading. Instead, if it was a guy, they would say something straightforward like Kiriya was a bastard or just appear to beat Kiriya up directly instead of using such a round way about.

“Second, she is a little older than us.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Because she seems so childish, and it seems that she should be Kiriya’s ex-student or something. She might have been rejected, which was she did all of this. Now, I am sure you are wondering why I believed that Kiriya-sensei was innocent, right?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Can you tell us the reason?”

“Because he swings that way.”

“……” 3x

When this answer fell, they quickly erased all the doubt in their hearts about Kiriya.

If Kiriya swung that way, then it couldn’t be helped. It was also normal for Kiriya to want to hide this matter. It was also normal for this girl to be rejected since Kiriya didn’t have an interest in a female.

Still, knowing all of this, they felt conflicted.

“By the way, don’t tell anyone about this. I tell you all of this because I believe in you.”

“You don’t need to worry.”

“I won’t tell anyone!”

Hikigaya didn’t say anything since he didn’t have anyone with whom he could share this secret, and it was also impossible for others to believe in him since he was a loner.

“So, should we go back now?”

“Sure.” 3x

They closed the door of the clubroom and returned.

Still, while Shishio went to the literature club, Yui went to her class, and Yukinohita went to the committee room.

Hikigaya stretched his hands high, thinking he should meet Totsuka now.

‘Ah, what a nice day!’

After all, he felt relief, knowing he wasn’t the only one.
