I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Chapter 407: Like Sasuke Uchiha

“It-It’s done…” Yui was dumbfounded, looking at the white and chocolate layered tiramisu in front of her. While she was struggling to make the right cookie and even created charcoal in the process, she could make a perfectly baked tiramisu, which was a fancy dessert that she had never thought to make.

Somehow Yui felt that she was a cool woman, and she didn’t care about what the other people view of her after she saw the result of her hard work.

“It’s amazing…” Yukinoshita was also amazed since she knew how clumsy Yui was, but under Shishio’s tutelage, Yui could grow from a cute caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly.

*Gulp!*

Hikigaya was just hungry since the tiramisu seemed to be delicious.

“I have also made one. Should we taste it?” Shishio asked.

“Yes.” 3x

The three of them answered at the same time, without hesitation since they had been eager to taste the tiramisu that was baked by Shishio.

Unlike Yui’s tiramisu, Shishio’s tiramisu was more perfect and created to the detailed golden ratio. The white and chocolate colors were so beautiful, and even though it was made with the normal ingredients on the school, it was like it was made from expensive ingredients.

Shishio sliced a few pieces of the tiramisu and placed them on small plates, giving them to the three.

“Should we eat now?”

They nodded and clapped their hands gently. “Let’s eat.” They used a small fork to take a bite-size of the tiramisu before eating it.

*BOOOOOM!*

They felt like their bodies were so excited at that moment.

The deep flavor of the coffee, the mild taste of the cheese, the sweet yet gentle taste, and the hint of vanilla.

Everything was so perfect and flawless.

It felt like they were in the middle of the festival, dancing along with everyone happy.

“Delicious!” 3x

Yukinoshita was once again amazed by Shishio’s cooking skill and thought marrying him wasn’t bad at all. When she suddenly realized what she had thought, her face turned crimson as she shook her head furiously. ‘No, no.’ She recalled their conversation in Tateyama before and felt gloomy all of a sudden.

Shishio didn’t wish for change, and he just wanted their relationship to be like before.

Nothing has changed.

It was like before.

Yukinoshita also wished for it. She wished for it, yet something made her change, and sadly she couldn’t stop it.

On the other hand, Yui and Hikigaya realized how this guy could have a harem.

Somehow Hikigaya wanted to be born as a woman, so he could be taken care of by Shishio. He could even give up his dream to become a household husband and support him if he could eat the foods prepared by Shishio.

However, Hikigaya quickly gave up since it was impossible, considering their gender, and he was also normal.

Still, Yui looked at Shishio and asked, “By the way, Oga-kun, why did we make a tiramisu?”

Yukinoshita and Hikigaya also looked at Shishio, wondering why he made a tiramisu when there were many desserts out there in this world.

“Do you know the meaning of tiramisu?”

Yui obviously shook her head.

“Tiramisu means “cheer you up,” so hopefully, with this desert, you can make the one that you want to give this tiramisu feel happy.”

Hikigaya once again realized why this guy had a harem.

“So, what’s the real reason?” Yukinoshita suddenly asked since she knew this guy often made various excuses and a master of sophistry.

“Well, my girlfriend is moving to a new apartment, and she requests an Italian dish, so I’d thought to make a tiramisu.”

“……” Hikigaya and Yui.

“So sorry, I can share much of the tiramisu with you since I don’t make much,” Shishio said while looking at Hikigaya and Yui since his intention to make one was for everyone later at Nana’s moving party.

“It’s okay. You don’t need to worry, Oga-kun,” Yui said with a gentle smile.

“Yes, you don’t need to worry.” Hikigaya somehow felt that he had found a teacher to achieve his dream of becoming a household husband.

“Okay.” Shishio nodded and asked, “Should we pack up now? And lastly, Yuigahama-senpai, are you satisfied with the result?”

“Ye-Yes! I am very satisfied!” If Yui wasn’t satisfied with this, she could only become a professional patissier.

“So we’re done, right?” Hikigaya asked.

“Yes.”

“I will go back then.” It was quite late, so Hikigaya wanted to go back.

“Okay.”

They didn’t stop Hikigaya since Yui’s task had been completed.

Still, when Hikigaya left, Shishio suddenly asked, “Yuigama-senpai, are you okay with this?”

“Huh?” Yui was confused.

“Are you satisfied with this?”

“Wh-What do you mean, Oga-kun?”

“I mean, don’t you want us to help you to give your tiramisu to the person that you’re grateful to?” Shishio asked, which caused Yukinoshita also to look in Yui’s direction.

Yui opened her eyes wide when she heard his words.

“It’s Hikigaya-senpai, right?”

“Wh-What?! Ho-How did you know?!” Yui was in shock.

“I am not sure, but it is just my intuition.” Shishio knew that Yui had been looking at Hikigaya from time to time, and when she came for the first time, he saw her focussed on Hikigaya instead of him. Usually, it was something unthinkable since most girls would draw toward him.

However, Yui was different, which meant she felt something toward Hikigaya, but what kind of feeling she had, Shishio wasn’t sure.

“So, do you want us to help you?” Shishio asked.

Yui, who was caught red-handed, felt helpless, but at the same time, she felt that she was saved since this guilt had riddled her for the past year. However, someone reached out to her and told her that he could help her.

“Yes, please.”

Yui cried and asked for this help without hesitation.

“Calm down. You don’t need to cry. He shouldn’t be going home yet. You should be able to reach him now.” Shishio took a handkerchief and gave it to Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita looked at the handkerchief on her hand, looked at Shishio for a moment, then walked toward Yui. “Come on. Wipe those tears and snot first.”

“….”

Yui was speechless, but she cleaned up herself from tears and snot.

On the other hand, Shishio called Hikigaya back without hesitation.

“What’s wrong?” Hikigaya’s dry voice was heard.

“Senpai, you’re not home yet, right?”

“Yeah, what’s wrong?”

“Can you come to the Service Club again?”

“Well…” Hikigaya hesitated for a moment, but Shishio said, “It’s not like you have something to do anyway. What are you hesitating for?”

“Can you not be so blunt?!” Hikigaya let out a tired sigh and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll go there.”

“Okay.”

Shishio ended the call, then looked at Yui, then said, “Somehow it feels like we’re helping you on a confession.”

Yui blushed, hearing Shishio’s words. “It-It’s not a confession! Bu-But it isn’t much different, though…” She was going to confess to Hikigaya, but not that type of confession. She then looked at them and asked, “Don’t you want to ask what has happened?”

“You want to tell us?” Shishio asked.

Yui hesitated for a moment before she shook her head.

“Then you don’t need to. We’re just helping you, not forcing you to tell us everything.”

“Thanks.” Yui showed a sweet smile then moved closer to Yukinoshita as she whispered. “I’ll support you, Yukinon.”

Yukinoshita was stunned, her face reddened, scolding Yui without hesitation. “If you have time to joke around, you should be ready to do this without our help, and don’t call me, Yukinon.”

“No, no! I am not ready yet! Please help me, Yukinon!” Yui cried as she hugged Yukinoshita sticky.

Yukinoshita only sighed as she tried to push Yui away.

Shishio only smiled and said, “Come on. He should be coming anytime now.”

“Ye-Yes.” Yui became nervous, but when she felt two hands on her shoulders, she looked at the two of them with a smile as they walked out of the room to meet Hikigaya.

Hikigaya had been waiting for them at the Service Club, so when he saw the three of them, he felt confused and asked, “What’s wrong? Why did you call me so suddenly?”

“Well, there’s someone who wants to talk with you. We’ll wait outside. You should talk there alone.”

Shishio and Yukinoshita walked out of the room, leaving Hikigaya and Yui alone inside the room.

Hikigaya suddenly felt his heart thumped, wondering whether he would receive a confession, but his heart that had been trained with countless rejections, quickly erased that possibility since he knew that Yui didn’t come to him with that intention.

Yui had an awkward smile on her face and said, “Hi-Hikki, I-I want to apologize for….”

While Hikigaya and Yui were talking to each other, Shishio and Yukinoshita were standing next to each other with their backs leaning on the wall.

“Since when did you notice?” Yukinoshita asked.

“Probably when she entered the clubroom,” Shishio answered truthfully.

“How?” Yukinoshita was dumbfounded.

“It might sound narcissistic, but Yuigahama-senpai kept glancing at Hikigaya-senpai even though I was there.”

“Yeah, that sounded so narcissistic.”

“You don’t need to remind me that, okay?” Shishio let out a sigh, but then he noticed Yukinoshita’s expression was quite wrong. “What’s wrong?”

“I… I didn’t notice anything…” Yukinoshita lowered her head, feeling slightly depressed when she couldn’t be of much help in this situation, but then suddenly she felt her head was patted. She looked at him subconsciously since the feeling of this patting was so soothing and comfortable.

“It’s not your fault. Everyone has their own roles in life. You have your own specialty and weakness. Even Goddess Yukinoshita isn’t perfect, which is why, let this worshipper of yours support you, alright?” Shishio said with a gentle smile.

“…”

Yukinoshita stared at his smile, and somehow something started to change inside. She wasn’t sure what it was, but for now, she decided to bury it inside her heart, locking it with several locks, so it wouldn’t be shown since this wasn’t his wish.

Yukinoshita then snorted and swept his hand away. “Shishio-kun, are you getting so cocky lately? I am older than you, you know?”

“Is this a famous school bullying?!”

While the two were talking and joking with each other, Yui and Hikigaya walked out of the room.

Yui seemed relieved, but Hikigaya showed his usual aloof and tsundere expression on his face while bringing a bag of tiramisu that was baked by Yui.

Hikigaya looked at Shishio for a moment and knew that everything was this guy’s plan, and it made him wonder why he was born as a male for a moment. “Okay, I’ll go back now. See you later.” He left like Sasuke Uchiha, showing a cool and aloof atmosphere around him, but strangely enough, he was cool enough to pull it off.

“As I have said before, a tsundere guy is disgusting,” Shishio said.

“Can you shut up for a moment?!” Hikigaya was mad.

With those words, somehow, they felt their relationship became closer.
