I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Chapter 664: Story

Shishio wanted to go home together, but Yukinoshita was quite careful since she knew once she let this bastard enter her apartment, he wouldn’t hesitate to eat her. She wasn’t ready for the next step, and they decided to part away.

He also didn’t want to force her either since the mood was quite strange for some reason.

Still, while the kissing felt good, he thought about the person that stood at the entrance of the Service Club. He knew that this girl had something to talk about with him, but he was more interested in this girl’s mother.

‘Now that you mention it…’

He glanced at Yukinoshita and thought that her mother was a beauty.

“Did you think something weird?” Yukinoshita asked with a frown, feeling her man was thinking something strange.

He shook his head with a determined expression, telling her he didn’t think anything weird.

However, how could she believe it?

Yet how could he admit it? Could he say that he was interested in Yukinoshita’s mother? No way.

“I am just wondering how our movie will be.”

“It will be good without a doubt.”

“Do you have such confidence?”

“I have confidence in myself.”

“…..”

“I also have confidence in your script.”

“Thanks.”

“By the way, how is your new novel?” Yukinoshita asked. After all, his new novel was based on their experience together.

“It’s okay.”

“Okay?”

“You have read it, right? What do you think?”

“The words are beautiful.”

She had to say that, unlike his first novel, his second novel was more beautifully arranged and melancholy.

“The ending won’t be sad, right?”

“What do you think?”

“….”

She knew this guy would definitely write a sad ending, making her sigh. However, she knew that this was what everyone in this country liked. Not forever. Instead, something fleeting was something that everyone loved the most.

Just like the Sakura tree, which only bloomed for a few days.

Shishio also wondered why the people loved such a fleeting thing and even celebrated it. The Sakura tree wasn’t the most beautiful, and its beauty could only be seen for a moment, yet it was the most famous tree in this country. He might not have understood in the past, but now, he understood.

“I can’t wait to see it somehow.”

Even if the ending was sad, she still wanted to read it.

“You won’t be disappointed.”

“Have you made the title?”

“Spring Snow.”

“Spring Snow, huh? It’s kind of romantic.”

“Naturally. It’s a love story, after all.” He thought for a moment and asked, “By the way, have you asked permission to shoot the school?” While some of the scenes of their movie were taken on the outside, most of them were taken in the school.

“I will ask Hiratsuka-sensei tomorrow.”

“Do you need me to go with you?”

“Sure.”

He looked at her smile and thought she was beautiful, but more importantly, it made him happy to see her excited that he would accompany her.

“By the way, I have never asked you this before, but how are your parents now? They’re not doing anything weird to you again, right?”

While he could see that Yukinshita’s parents weren’t bad, he knew that their education toward children was quite tough, especially when he thought about how they had put Yukinoshita in the room. While they didn’t forbid her to go outside, they didn’t allow anyone to communicate with her or even discuss the matter of their engagement.

In other words, they were forcing her to marry.

Yet, in the world of high society, this kind of thing was normal, so he couldn’t say much.

Fortunately, the partner was him, but if the partner wasn’t him, he might bring them to elope, and she also cut her relationship with her parents.

However, when he asked this question, she suddenly fell silent and stopped her steps.

“What’s wrong?”

Her expression became complicated as she gazed over his profile. She thought about her mother’s words, blushing before she let out a long sigh.

Was her mother so bold?

Couldn’t she believe in the pure relationship between them?

She wasn’t sure, but she knew that her mother was worried about her, yet she had to say that this attention was quite too much for him, but she was stunned when she was kissed so suddenly.

“…why did you kiss me?”

“Well, I have the urge to do one.”

She slapped him on the shoulder and blushed before she complained. “Don’t do it here. What if people see us?”

“Okay. Okay. I will do it when no one is looking.”

“…..” Yukinoshita let out a long sigh, feeling that no matter what she did, she felt it was impossible to defeat him. However, it was impossible for her to give up, and she wanted to show some struggle, even if she knew it was quite useless.

“By the way, what about your family?”

“…let’s discuss this matter later, but one thing is for sure, they support our relationship.”

“That’s great.”

“Yeah, that’s great.”

Even if her family was quite troublesome, if possible, she didn’t want to cut her relationship with them. Still, if she was forced, she wouldn’t hesitate to go with him.

Shishio looked at Yukinoshita, who took the initiative to hold his hand and only smiled, thinking that this guy was cute.

After he sent her to the nearby bus stop, he walked toward Sakurasou. Misaki had texted everyone that was living in Sakurasou to gather together since she had something to announce. While he could guess what she planned to do, he still needed to watch her since if he left her alone, he wasn’t sure what kind of mess she was going to create, especially with Shiina.

Yet when he walked, he saw someone unexpected.

This figure was walking slowly. No, she stopped on the street, reading a book intently, ignoring the surroundings.

If this wasn’t Ritsu Kawai, who was this?

Suddenly, he realized that this girl was also quite unique, like Shiina and Misaki. By now, he realized that Nanami was the most normal girl in Sakurasou. Still, when the time came, Ritsu was reliable, especially when she took care of Shiina before Nanami and the others came.

“Senpai.”

However, Ritsu didn’t give him a response. It wasn’t until he tapped her shoulder that she was startled and realized that someone was right beside her.

“Shishio-kun?”

“Let’s go back. What if you meet a pervert here?”

“Oh.” Ritsu blushed and nodded.

There were too many perverts in their surroundings, so it was better to go home quickly. While her immunity toward a pervert was stronger than others, she didn’t want to meet a pervert on the street. Yet what she didn’t know, the guy next to her was the biggest pervert out there.

Still, when she stood by his side, she felt secure and continued to read her book again since she knew that everything was alright as long as he was with him.

On the other hand, Shishio only glanced at her and didn’t stop her from reading since she knew how addicted this girl was to reading. Yet he had to say that his progress with this girl was quite slow.

When he had been doing it with Misaki, kissing Yukinoshita, and many others, he hadn’t made so much progress with Ritsu. Yet this was also partly because of her personality, and he also didn’t really force the relationship between them.

Their walk was quiet, and he only touched her back whenever she stopped and held her shoulder when they were right in front of the traffic light.

He felt that he was her babysitter somehow, and she was a hopeless baby who needed the help of someone.

Neither of them talked, and they didn’t initiate a conversation, but strangely enough, they felt so close to each other.

However, when he looked away, he didn’t realize that she was glancing in his direction, peeking at his profile before she continued to read. She might want to read her book, but it was hard to concentrate when she was standing next to the person that she felt for. Yet she wondered why she fell for him since she knew that this guy was a beast that couldn’t control his lower body to all beautiful girls in this world.

She knew he was like that, yet she couldn’t control her emotion.

Suddenly, she thought about Misaki’s words, which told her that there was no need to hesitate, yet she was different from Misaki since she had experience in this area, and she also didn’t dare to take the initiative.

After all, what if their relationship changed?

Yet when she thought about how amazing love was and how everyone was so happy with it, she couldn’t help but feel curious.

Was love as amazing as the one that she read in the novel?

Would it make her heart flutter as if she was floating?

She was curious, but she somehow endured it since she was afraid.

“Senpai?”

“Ah, yes!”

“You’re not reading?”

“…I-I am reading now.”

He glanced at Ritsu for a moment and smiled.

“Wh-What’s with that smile?”

“Nothing. By the way, have your class thought about what to do at the cultural festival?”

“No, but I don’t really care much about it.”

“……”

He stared at her for a moment and couldn’t help but rub her hair.

“Wh-What are you doing?!” Ritsu puffed her cheeks, feeling embarrassed while trying to push him away.

“Nothing. I just feel that being your classmate is tough.”

“What do you mean by that, Shishio-kun?”

As they bickered, the distance between them became closer, and Ritsu put down her book, subconsciously focusing all of her attention on him. She might not realize it, but she only needed a little push before their relationship changed into a different shape. The shape that she never thought she would feel toward this scumbag, yet she knew she anticipated it.

‘I should read more romance stories.’ She thought about it as they arrived in Sakurasou.

Yet when they arrived, they didn’t know that a certain guest would appear and interrupt the peace of this dorm.
