I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Chapter 669: Ryuunosuke: “What did he want to do?”

In the class, Ryuunosuke looked at the storyboard draft made by Shishio with a speechless expression.

“What’s wrong?”

“…no.”

“What? You don’t need to hesitate.”

“No, it’s okay. I know I don’t need to be surprised whenever you do something, but when I see you making the storyboard for the game…”

Ryuunosuke didn’t finish his words since he knew this guy understood what he meant. He held the storyboard that had been drawn by Shishio and sighed since this guy wasn’t a genius but a monster.

Shishio’s existence was simply a demon king that brought despair to everyone, thinking they didn’t have hope and that working hard was useless.

However, when one was working with him, Ryuunosuke felt that it was the best thing ever since having such a reliable team member was something that he loved the most.

Still, while they talked, Shishio had been busy drawing the storyboard for their planned game.

The character of the game had been decided, which was Nyanboro, the cat hero, who was liked by Misaki and Shiina. They loved it so much that they drew his room with Nyanboro’s picture.

Anyway, for their game, Misaki and Shiina would take care of the illustration, coloring, and all things related to art.

Ritsu would help with the management, taking care of the permissions, and many other troublesome things.

Ryuunosuke would take care of the programming.

On the other hand, Shishio would take care of the script and the storyboard since he was the scriptwriter and director. He had made the story, and it was a cliche story of a place, which was a town under crisis because it was attacked by a monster, but during that crisis, Nyanboro came and protected everyone.

This was a cliche hero story that had been written from an ancient age, but it didn’t really matter since everyone loved such a story.

In front of the adversary, someone stood up and fought. Such a story has always moved everyone’s heart.

While he hadn’t written the script, he talked about the story when they walked together to the school, and they all agreed with the story of the game. Even Misaki, Nanami, and Ritsu were crying when they listened to his story.

Shiina was also in tears, and Ryuunosuke looked away since he didn’t want anyone to see his tears.

If he didn’t stop them, he was afraid that many misunderstandings would happen.

However, after he got their “okay” sign, he made the storyboard as soon as possible since he didn’t want to waste time.

The cultural festival would be held soon, and there were many things that he had to do.

Naturally, he couldn’t waste his time, and the faster he finished, the faster everyone could progress to the next stage.

“I will probably finish the storyboard after school, but can you handle all the programming matters?” Shishio asked since this programming job definitely wasn’t an easy thing.

Ryuunosuke’s time was also quite limited since he had to wait until Shiina and Misaki finished the illustration and all art-related matters.

“Who do you talk to? Having a limited time is something every day for us programmers.”

If Shishio could finish the storyboard when the school finished, Ryuunosuke was also confident he could finish all the game programming himself.

“Is that so? But if you need help, just tell me. I have made a better AI (artificial intelligence).”

“Huh? Really? When?”

However, when Ryuunosuke waited for the answer to his question, Shishio’s girlfriends came.

Nana put her chest on top of Shishio’s head, and Mea and Maiko stood between him, looking at him curiously.

On the other hand, Nanami was still nervous, so she didn’t dare to approach him carelessly and stayed with her friends in the class.

Shishio glanced at Nanami, then let out a sigh. “…they’re heavy.”

“But you love them, right?’

“……..” Shishio.

“Woman, go away. Even if you’re his girlfriend, it’s rude of you to interrupt our conversation.” Ryuunosuke didn’t hide his disdain toward Nana. She might be smart and beautiful, but in his eyes, this girl was a slut who flaunted the fat on her chest to tempt Shishio. For him, who hated a woman the most, this girl’s existence was simply hell.

“Oh?” Nana raised her eyebrow, which caused Mea and Maiko to move away from them since they didn’t want to carelessly join this battle. Instead, they went to the side, watching them over. It definitely had nothing to do with the fact that it was more fun to watch them.

Definitely.

Shishio glanced at Mea, Maiko, and Nana and thought they were “good friends.”

“Sorry for interrupting you, but I can’t see that you’re talking about something so important, and I do have something important to discuss with him too.”

Nana hugged Shishio’s neck naturally and snorted. “Also, if you’re his friend, you shouldn’t act so rude toward his girlfriend. In my eyes, it is like you’re jealous that I have stolen your favorite man.”

Ryuunosuke wanted to insult Nana, but he noticed Shishio’s eyes stared at him, which caused him to snort and look away. “Let’s talk later after school.”

“He is going with me later after school!” Nana snorted.

Ryuunosuke didn’t say anything and walked to his seat.

“What’s with that guy? Is he homo?” Nana was annoyed.

“Calm down.” He reached for her and put her on his lap. “He just hates a woman.”

“Then, does he like a guy?”

“I am not sure, but it doesn’t really matter, right?”

“Well, that’s true. It doesn’t really matter.” Nana nodded since she knew well that her boyfriend was normal and it was impossible for him to swing that way.

Shishio also felt weird when he saw Ryuunosuke was angry when Nana suddenly appeared when they talked to each other.

“However, he might also be angry that you have interrupted our discussion.”

“What kind of conversation do you have?”

“It’s artificial intelligence.”

“Eh? Have you made them? Really?”

The two then talked about the artificial intelligence that he had made.

However, Maiko, Mea, Nanami, and a few others who listened to their conversation had their heads dizzy.

‘What the hell are they talking about?’

Still, Ryuunosuke listened to their conversation, but the more he listened, the itchier he was since there were many things that he wanted to talk about him.

Meanwhile, Sorata, who happened to listen to their conversation, was shocked.

‘Are they going to make a game?”

He looked at Shishio before he looked at Ryuunosuke with a complicated gaze.

Shishio didn’t know what Sorata was thinking since it had been a while since he was thinking about him. After leaving Sakurasou, Sorata’s existence wasn’t that different from the extras in this story. When they graduated, they wouldn’t meet each other since the difference in their status made them impossible to meet.

Shishio knew this, so he was too lazy to make a friend. Instead, it was better to make out with a girl.

Did he feel lonely?

No.

After all, he had never planned to make 100 friends.

All he needed was one or two friends that could be with him until the end, and he had found such a person already.

Still, as his discussion with Nana became even more intense, their homeroom teacher, Koharu Shirayama, came and started the class.

“As you know, the cultural festival is close…”

“Yahoo!”

“Awesome!”

“What are we going to do? Are we going to make a play? Cafe?”

Before Koharu finished her words, everyone screamed happily since the cultural festival was about to start. They couldn’t wait for it since this was one of the events that everyone had been waiting for.

“However, before the cultural festival, you will have to face an exam, so be prepared, okay?”

“WHAATTTT?!”

“No!”

“Sensei, are you serious?”

“Yes, so do your best on the exam, or you might have to study while participating in the cultural festival.

“……..” Everyone.

Everyone looked at Koharu in disbelief, and they all cried, weeping at the cruelty of reality.

Why?

Why did they have to face this?

Did they do something bad?

Have they been abandoned by god?

They lamented how hopeless their situation was.

However, unlike the others, Nana and Shishio were relatively calm when they heard this news.

Still, Maiko, Mea, and Nanami looked at them, and they were on the verge of crying since they all were hopeless!

Shishio and Nana looked at each other before they smiled, but somehow he could see a fire blazing in her eyes.

‘Why?

Nana cracked her fists and thought it was her time for a rematch against Shishio and Futaba Rio.

“Shishio, the ranked one on the next exam, can ask whatever they want to the loser.”

“…….”

Shishio realized that his girlfriend was stupidly cute.

—

“Is he going to make the game?”

“Wow, a movie, story, and now a game? Can he do all of them?”

Maiko and Mea were dumbfounded when they listened to Nanami.

They were in the middle of the break after their class ended.

“Won’t he be tired?” Nana asked worriedly.

“It’s okay. If he is tired, we can take care of him,” Nanami said with a smile.

“That’s true.” Nana also smiled.

However, Nanami and Nana wondered whether there was something that could stop him since they knew well how strong the stamina of their boyfriend was.

Meanwhile, Mea and Maiko had their lips twitched and sighed since they knew they couldn’t join this conversation.

Shishio didn’t join their conversation since he went to visit Yukinoshita’s class, but if he had been in the class, he would have been surprised since Ryuunosuke was being approached by someone that no one expected.

“Akasaka.”

Ryuunosuke stopped and then looked up for a moment. “Who are you?”

“It’s me! I am Sorata! I have lived in Sakuraraous for a while! Did you forget about me?” Sorata felt Ryuunosuke’s words were like a blade that sliced his skin. While he was living in Sakurasou, he often met Ryuunosuke from time to time, so how could this cold bastard be so cruel?

“Oh, right.”

Ryuunosuka’s reply was quite plain, and he continued to focus on his laptop. “What’s wrong? If you just stand there, you’re going to waste my time.”

“…”

Sorata tried to hold back his anger.

Unlike in the original, where their relationship was quite good since Ryuunosuke often lent him a programming book, Sorata could achieve his dream as a game designer. This time, he had left early, and their relationship was just so-so.

“I have heard that you are going to make a game. Is that true?”

This is what Sorata wanted to ask.

“Yes.”

“Oh.”

Is that it?

Could you say something else?

Could you also invite me?

However, Ryuunosuke didn’t say anything since he was busy, so he didn’t have time to talk with Sorata.

Sorata looked at Ryuunosuke with a complicated gaze. He wanted to say something, but no words came from his lips. He loved games, and he loved it so much that he might want to make it into his job in the future, but he wasn’t sure, so when he heard that Shishio and Ryuunosuke were going to make a game, he wanted to ask them, and wondered whether he could join.

After all, if he could join, then he might be able to get close to Shiina.

However, it seemed that everything was only his thought, and he didn’t dare to voice his idea. He looked at Ryuunosuke for a while before he turned and walked away without saying anything.

“What did he want to do?”

Ryuunosuke shook his head and continued what he was doing.

Then, what about Nanami?

Nanami was talking with Nana since she needed help in case Shishio wanted to be rough with her.

As for Sorata?

Who was he?

Nanami had already forgotten about him.
