I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Chapter 352: Lie

Sipping the warm black coffee in his hand, Shishio watched the sun slowly rise to the sky. It was just after dawn, and he had just come back from the public bath, warming up his body.

If possible, Shishio just wanted to enjoy the hot spring in his room since there was a private pool inside. However, whether it was Shiina, Yukinoshita, Ritsu, Misaki, Nanami, Mayumi, Chihiro, Hiratsuka, or Roberta, all of them slept in his room together, which made him sigh.

The only people who didn’t sleep in his room were Ryuunosuke and Shiro-san, who were male, and Sayaka, who returned to her room secretly.

Shishio didn’t feel surprised why Sayaka decided to return since he knew that there were many things that he needed to do.

However, Shishio just wanted to complain since he just couldn’t enjoy his night with Shiina and Roberta. His plan to have a threesome had failed, which made him sigh.

Shishio might feel disappointed, so he woke up quite early and decided to go to the bath. Frankly, he came early to the public bath at dawn because he thought it would be empty. However, he didn’t expect that there would be some women staff members who were in charge on the night shift.

If the women staff was a young woman, Shishio wouldn’t hesitate to refuse, but the women staff were mature women, and all of them were in his strike zone. They offered to wash his back, and it took all of his will to refuse.

Still, after the bath, Shishio talked with them and heard their complaint about the hotel management since the mature woman mostly got the night shift, and the young woman staff got the morning shift which was unfair.

While Shishio didn’t mind listening to their complaint, he could feel that their distance became closer and closer, and their alluring smell invaded his sense of smell. They even stared to press their bodies into him and talked right into his ears, feeling the warmth of their breath.

‘They’re in the heat.’

With his “Enhanced Sense of Smell,” Shishio could tell that their bodies were in heat, and he was also in the heat, but he knew that it was impossible for them to step into the next step since someone called his name.

“Shishio-kun?”

The mature women staff turned their heads and saw a beautiful girl with long brown hair.

“You have woken up, Nanami?” Shishio’s face didn’t change even when Nanami was there.

The mature women staff also didn’t panic when they saw Nanami and joked around for a bit, kissing Shishio’s cheeks before leaving with a happy smile.

“….”

Shishio rubbed his cheek, feeling the warmth of their lips, and thought that those women really took advantage of him. Still, they brought him quite a trouble since he saw Nanami, who puffed her cheeks as she stared at him.

“Shishio-kun!”

Nanami stared at Shishio and said, “I think that you should take care of yourself more!”

“Sorry, I won’t do it again.” Shishio lied without batting his eyes and said, “But I’m lonely, waking up alone in the dawn.”

“If you’re lonely, then you can call me,” Nanami said without hesitation, but she then realized how misleading her words were. “I… Um…” Her face flushed, and she started to panic. She wanted to explain something, but the more she talked, the more incoherent her words were.

Shishio looked at Nanami for a moment and asked simply, “…So, can you accompany me now?”

“…” Nanami stopped, but she nodded shyly. “O – Okay…”

Shishio stood up after finishing his coffee and grabbed Nanami’s hand without hesitation.

Nanami looked at the hand that Shishio held, and all the unhappiness in her heart disappeared.

Still, if Shishio knew what Nanami was thinking, he would think that this girl was so easy.

—

“Where are we going, Shishio-kun?” Nanami asked.

His footsteps were light as if matching her steps.

“Beach.”

“Beach?” Nanami was surprised, but she nodded with a smile. “Okay.”

The sun hadn’t fully risen, and the sky was still orange, but everything could be seen clearly, whether the sand, the ocean, or the cat that slept lazily on the asphalt.

It might be ordinary for the people who lived in this place, but for Shishio and Nanami, it was something special.

“Ugh…”

Still, Nanami felt that it was quite cold.

“Is it cold?” Shishio asked.

“No, it’s alright.” Nanami shook her head, showing that she was alright.

Shishio looked at this girl speechlessly and said, “Let’s sit over there.”

“Okay.” Nanami nodded.

Shishio found the sand that wasn’t wet and told Nanami to sit down first. She just followed his words, but she didn’t expect that he would suddenly sit behind her and hug her waist without hesitation.

“What? Shi – Shishio-kun, what are you…” Her face was red and flustered by her sudden action.

“I felt cold. Share your warm body, Nanami.” Shishio rubbed his face against Nanami’s neck and said, “You’re so warm, Nanami.”

“Geez….” Nanami was helpless, but she knew that this guy had tried to warm her up since she had felt quite cold before. ‘Still, it feels warm…’ As their bodies hugged against each other, she didn’t feel cold anymore, and the temperature was just right, but even so, she still reprimanded him. “Don’t tell me you wanted to come here just to do this?”

Shishio only laughed with a smile which caused Nanami to sigh helplessly. Even if this guy took advantage of her, it was hard to get angry at him since his every action made her happy.

Still, if Shishio was asked, what he wanted to do, then he wanted to bring her to the hot spring pool together, taking a bath together, but he knew that it was impossible since the girls invaded his room.

“Nanami…”

His voice was deep, and Nanami could feel the desire from his body. She turned her head and looked at him helplessly before she let out a sigh and said, “It’ll be bad if someone sees us.”

“So, is it okay if someone doesn’t see us?” Shishio asked with a smile.

“I – I didn’t mean that!” Nanami flustered and became annoyed when she saw him laugh. “It isn’t funny!”

“It might not be funny, but I have always loved to see your flustered expression.” Shishio took Nanami’s slender and soft hands, rubbing them gently with his hands. He could see that she became furious and wanted to scold him. Usually, he would kiss her so she wouldn’t get angry, but this time, he whispered, “You’re so cute, Nanami.”

This morning, Nanami didn’t tie her hair into her usual ponytail, and she let her hair straight, reaching her back, giving her a different charm that she usually showed.

If he had to give an example, then Nanami was like his friendly neighborhood girl, who would wake him up every morning and make him a bento every day since his parents were working overseas.

That’s how it should be in the normal harem romance story, but this was a scumbag story, so there was more than one girl who would give him a bento or wake him up.

“Geez… you’re always like this…” Nanami just felt that Shishio was unfair since he had always teased her and flirted with her, which made her just not want to separate from him, even though he told her to choose whether she wanted to play around or get serious.

Right now, Nanami wanted to ask how Shishio felt about her.

‘Do you love me?’

Such a simple question, and it was easy to answer.

However, Nanami couldn’t ask such a question since she was afraid to hear the answer.

“What’s wrong, Nanami?” Shishio asked.

Nanami didn’t hesitate and kissed Shishio’s lips since she knew how perceptive he was, and she was afraid for him to notice the anxiety inside her heart.

Shishio was surprised, but he closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss.

“Mnhh…”

Nanami moaned lightly when her lips were nibbled, and his tongue invaded her mouth. She felt that no matter how many times they did it, the kiss they shared had always been special, and as expected, it erased all the anxiety on her heart.

As they parted their lips, Nanami panted, but she kept staring at him and said, “More, Shishio-kun…”

Shishio was stunned, but he didn’t hesitate and gave her another kiss.

The morning temperature might be cold, but the temperature on their bodies also increased as they kissed each other, causing their clothes to be sweaty.

When Nanami lost her breath, they parted their lips, and she let out a comfortable sigh while resting her forehead against his shoulder.

“Shishio-kun.”

“Hmm?”

“I have decided.”

Shishio raised his eyebrow and asked, “What have you decided?”

Nanami looked at Shishio with a gentle smile and said, “Let’s just play around.”

“……” Shishio looked at Nanami with a stunned expression. “Why?”

“The answer is obvious, right?” Nanami let out a helpless sigh and said with contempt, “You’re a scumbag that can’t love me wholeheartedly. Do you think that I’ll date you seriously?”

“……”

Shishio wanted to complain, but he just couldn’t say anything since Nanami was right. He was a scumbag, but how could he accept this?

“But…”

“It’s not, but.” Nanami put her index finger against Shishio’s lips, showing a determined expression, and said, “Listen to me, Shishio-kun. I’ll be lying if I don’t feel affection toward you, but right now, I’m also busy thinking about my dream to become a Seiyuu. I don’t want to fail, and that’s why….” She took a gentle breath as she kissed his lips for a moment. “It’s enough like this.”

“Enough?”

“Yes.” Nanami nodded and said, “Also, I don’t want you to hold back, and if – if possible, can – can we also do that too?”

“Do what?” Shishio asked while blinking his eyes.

Nanami slapped Shishio’s thigh without hesitation and snorted. “Don’t tease me!” She knew that this guy must have understood her, but he pretended that he didn’t know to tease her.

“Are you sure?” Shishio raised his eyebrow.

“Um.” Nanami nodded shyly.

Shishio looked at Nanami, and he knew that he should feel relief when he heard that she wanted to play around since he didn’t need to take responsibility for what he was going to do to this girl, but why couldn’t he?

As if Nanami could see that Shishio was about to say something again, she shut his mouth again with her lips.

Feeling her lips against his, Shishio thought he needed to do it slowly.

They kept kissing each other as if they couldn’t get enough of each other.

Still, if they parted just like this, Shishio knew that the situation would be awkward, so…

“Still, as my maid, you dared to call your master a scumbag? How am I going to punish you?”

Nanami heard his threat as they parted their lips, which made her helpless, but strangely, there was some expectation. “Wh-What are you going to do with me?”

“I’m going to do something that you can’t imagine. Just watch when we go back.” Shishio nibbled Nanami’s earlobe gently, which caused her body to shudder in the strange sensation that she had never felt before.

“Shi-Shishio-kun…”

Her face was flushed by his sudden action, and she felt excited about what he was about to do to her. She moved closer, snuggled into his chest, and felt contentment.

Nanami might lie to her feelings that she wanted to play around with him, but even so, she didn’t lie when she loved to be with him and loved what he did to her.

This was a lie.

However, Nanami was happy with this lie since she could be with him.

‘I love you, Shishio…’ Nanami thought as she watched the sunrise with him.

As Nanami felt that she had made the right choice, Shishio had a complicated emotion as he hugged this girl tightly.

“Shishio-kun?” Nanami looked at Shishio curiously.

Shishio rubbed his face on her neck and said, “Next time, tie your hair to ponytail again.”

“Geez…” Nanami sighed helplessly.

Neither of them talked anymore, enjoying their time together since they had a limited time together.

This relationship might be a lie, but Shishio would change it soon.

‘No, I’ll make sure you change your decision.’

Shishio thought as he smelled her lily-like smell from her hair..
