I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Chapter 93: I might turn into a glutton character

"Shishio..." Shiina looked at Shishio with an innocent expression.

"Mashiro." Shishio looked at Shiina helplessly and somehow could guess why she told him that she wanted to see his body, but his background setting was a normal human so there was no way that he could say something that could only be done by reading someone else's mind, right?

"..." Ritsu quietly looked at Shiina, Chihiro, and Shishio.

"Okay, Mashiro, why are you looking for Shishio?" Chihiro had a feeling that her nephew was innocent and probably, he wouldn't tarnish Shiina's innocence, right?

Shishio looked at Chihiro and wondered how this woman could return to normal so quickly when she was about to swallow him before, but he couldn't think straight since he was quite hungry at that moment.

"I want to see Shishio's body," Shiina said calmly.

"Why?" Shishio asked, but he thought that this request might be one of the plots in the original story, but he didn't expect Shiina to ask him this request.

In the original plot, Shiina asked for Sorata and Sorata let her watch his body, and it was also because of this that the relationship between the two became closer, after all, both of them were naked together, and Sorata even let Shiina straddle on his waist.

Sorata might be able to stop his little brother from standing up, but Shishio didn't have that confidence when Shiina did the same.

"It's advice I got from Ayano."

"Ayano?"

Shishio thought for a while and remembered that there should be such a character in the story before.

"I met her when I was contributing my manga for the newcomer award," Shiina said blankly.

"You draw a manga, Mashiro?" Shishio showed that he was surprised, even though he had known for a long time that Shiina was drawing a manga, however, when he heard these words, he somehow couldn't understand Shiina's thoughts. He knew that Shiina was a very famous painter and one of her paintings could be sold for a hundred of thousands or even million dollars, then because of an accident, she became curious about manga, then without hesitation, she went to Japan to learn to draw a manga.

Shishio knew that an artist was a unique creature, or rather sometimes, their way of thoughts was like an alien, so it was quite incomprehensible for normal people to understand them. He wasn't an artist so he didn't know much, but it seemed that was true.

Shiina nodded gently and said, "Yes, I'm curious about manga so that's why I came to Japan." Her expression was serious and full of determination when she said those words.

"Still, I'm surprised that you have contributed to the newcomer award, so what was the result?"

In truth, Shishio didn't need to answer this question since if she won, then she wouldn't have to take a look at his body, right?

"Eliminated," Shiina answered plainly, but there was a trace of disappointment in her voice.

"I see..."

Shishio wanted to pat Shiina's head, but he quickly stopped his hand since he knew that the occasion wasn't good to do that kind of intimate actions.

"When Ayano saw my work, she told me that I painted very well," Shiina said calmly.

"So, this Ayano should be the editor from that newcomer award, right?" Shishio asked.

Shiina nodded gently and said, "Ayano told me that I didn't understand the feelings between the characters."

"Then?"

"She asked me to draw something with more impact," Shiina said.

"....."

Shishio was quite helpless and knew that Shiina didn't understand what Ayano wanted to tell her, after all, Shiina didn't understand the deep relationship between a woman and a man, so there was no way that she could draw something with an impact, but this was a normal manga, not a hentai manga, so there was no need to see his body, right?

If it was someone else, then Ayano's advice might be helpful, but she didn't consider Shiina's situation, which made him quite helpless, but he also understood that Ayano wasn't Shiina's parents after all, and there was no way for a mere editor to put all of her energy into Shiina.

In the original plot, if it wasn't because of Ayano's suggestion, then some important plots in the story might not happen, and although Sorata had indeed become a scumbag and a pervert at the late stage of the story, Shishio had to admit Sorata still had some principle at the beginning, well, it might be because Sorata was also a virgin, but if it was being changed to someone else, Shishio was afraid that Shiina might have already been eaten already and all of this happened also because of Ayano's responsibility.

"So Mashiro, you plan to take a look at the boy's body, right?" Chihiro looked at Shiina with a headache since this girl really could cause some misunderstanding.

"Yes." Shiina nodded and said, "So Shishio take it off." Her tone was very flat while staring at him innocently, without fearing the one in front of him was a lion that could eat her anytime.

"Chihiro-nee, what do you think?" Shishio asked.

"She's looking for you, it has nothing to do with me," Chihiro quickly said since she felt this matter was very troublesome.

"..."

'Is this how you're going to take care of your cute nephew?' Shishio stared at Chihiro speechlessly. He then looked at Ritsu, hoping she would be able to help him. "Kawai-senpai."

Ritsu looked at Shishio's puppy-like expression and couldn't bear to look at him straight so she quickly looked away with a blush on her face.

"....."

Chihiro saw this scene and looked at Shishio with a speechless expression since this expression was too cheating, right?

Shishio had a headache, rubbed his temple, and asked, "So Mashiro, do you want to see boy's muscles, right?"

"Yeah." Shiina nodded.

Shishio wanted to say something, but the bell rang and told everyone that the break ended.

"..."

Shishio hadn't eaten yet, but the lunch break had ended which made him feel helpless. He might have realized it before, but because his physical ability was doubled, his food intake increased and he also needed a lot more food every day.

Sometimes Shishio even wondered whether he would turn into a glutton character like most shonen manga protagonists.

"The class has started, you should go back to your class soon." Chihiro yawned and left the three of them.

Shishio stared at Chihiro helplessly then looked at Shiina. "The class has started so how about I show you later when we have arrived at Sakurasou."

"Ok." Shiina nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Shishio couldn't bear it anymore and patted Shiina's head since this girl was too cute, right?

Shiina, who was being patted, showed a blissful expression and said, "Shishio's hand is very nice."

"Don't say such a misleading thing next time." Shishio had a "Patting Mastery" after all, and it was normal for his pat to be very good, but when Shiina said that his hand felt nice, it sounded quite lewd somehow. "Let's go home together later."

"Um." Shiina nodded without hesitation.

Shishio stopped his patting on Shiina's head, and said, "Do you want me to send you back to the class?"

"Ok." Shiina also nodded but somehow felt a bit disappointed when Shishio stopped.

Shishio was about to walk Shiina back, but he saw Ritsu with quite a funny expression. Her expression was quite complicated, it was a mix between constipated, envious, and quite intense?

"Senpai, do you want me to pat you too?" Shishio asked jokingly.

"Oga-kun, if you have time to joke around, then you should go back to the class or else, you'll be late," Ritsu said and her eyes were quite intense at this moment.

Shishio didn't mind and asked, "Right, can we back together too, Senpai? I want to ask you something."

"Ask me something?" Ritsu raised her eyebrow, wondering what Shishio wanted to ask.

Shishio nodded and said, "Well, we can talk about it later after school since it'll be troublesome if we're late."

Ritsu nodded and also pulled Shiina's hand since she knew this girl might be clueless that it would be troublesome if they were late.

---

In the end, Shishio didn't send Shiina off to her class and Ritsu was the one who took Shiina back. He didn't think too much and also returned to his class since he knew that Shiina's class and Ritsu's class were quite close.

However...

When Shishio returned, he could feel his stomach and back stuck together since he was very hungry at that moment and Chihiro's half-eaten bread couldn't satisfy him. He ignored everyone's gaze on him and returned to his seat, but then he saw a bread that was put on his table.

"You haven't eaten yet, right? I bought bread before," Nana said with a smile, feeling a bit funny to see Shishio with this kind of abandoned puppy expression.

Well, in truth, it wasn't only Nana, but most of the female students had their maternal instinct awoken when they saw his expression.

"...."

Shishio stared at Nana and subconsciously said, "Marry me."

"...What?" Nana blinked her eyes in shock, but her ears were instantly red.

"I mean, thank you, Nana." Shishio smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, I'm very hungry since I haven't had a chance to eat lunch before."

"Well.. well... that's good, eat it quickly before the teacher arrives," Nana said stutteringly and wanted to go back to calm herself, but her hand was grasped by Shishio.

"Wait, let me pay you," Shishio said and also quickly ate his bread.

"You can think of the bread as my repayment for Saturday morning," Nana said and wanted him to let go of her hand, but she also didn't want him to let her go. Her feelings were contradictory and she wasn't sure what to do.

"Then I gratefully accept."

Shishio was someone who followed gender equality, and if a girl decided to treat him, then he would accept it without hesitation. He then let go of Nana's hand and also felt grateful when she also bought him a drink too.

"It's just bread. It's hilarious that you get so serious," Nana said with a smile.

Shishio ignored Nana since he knew the teacher was about to come so he needed to hurry up and eat, but while he ate, he touched his stomach and thought that he might be the only rich person who was dying because of hunger.
