I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo Chapter 167: Arcade 2

Chapter 167: Arcade 2

After everyone asked for a bag from the staff to put their dolls, Shishio wondered what kind of game Nana wanted to play next, but he didn't expect it to be this game. He looked weirdly at her and asked, "Um, air hockey?"

"Yes!" Nana looked at Shishio, but she noticed his hesitation, which made her smile and tease him. "What? Are you afraid to lose?"

"....." Shishio raised his eyebrow and said, "But it's for four." It wasn't that he was afraid to lose, but rather, he didn't think that he would lose in air hockey, considering his reflex, vision, and the power of his body.

"Then we'll have a tag battle," Mea said.

"I agree!" Nana nodded without hesitation.

"Then the pairs are...?" Shishio then looked at Saki, who was standing beside him. "Will you play too, Saki?"

"Un." Saki nodded and didn't hesitate.

"Well, let's decide which pairs with rock-paper-scissors," Mea said.

Shishio, Nana, and Saki nodded, then the four of them started to do rock-paper-scissors together. When the result came out, Nana was together with Saki, and Shishio was together with Mea.

"Please take care of me, Shishio," Mea said gently.

"Please take care of me too, Mea." Shishio nodded.

"Hehe... with both of us together, I don't think that you can win this game, Shishio, Mea," Nana said with a smile since she knew how strong Saki was, and forgetting the fact that Shishio could fight.

Saki looked at Nana and wondered where this girl's confidence came from, but then she didn't think that Shishio was going to be serious against them, so there should be a chance, right?

"Enough of the talk! Show us your skills!" Mea said while pointing out the paddle toward both Nana and Saki.

"Hmph! Let me show you the skills that I have trained for the past decades!" Nana said, then put the puck on the air hockey table.

"........" Shishio looked at Mea and Nana and wondered whether they were "Chuunibyou" in the past too.

Nana looked at Shishio with a smile and called him out. "Shishio, Shishio... do you have a second?"

"Yeah?" Shishio raised her eyebrow, looking at Nana in doubt, but then...

"You're wide open!" Nana struck the puck directly with her paddle!

"Hey!" Shishio was speechless, but he stopped the puck by pressing it with his paddle. He then looked at Miu and asked, "Referee! What's your call on that play?"

"Eh?! Referee?!" Miu was startled and felt a bit panicked. "Er... Um... I... I'll allow it!"

"You're going to let it go?" Shishio and Mea were speechless.

Nana and Saki were also lost for words for a moment.

"Um... Fight!" Miu said to everyone.

---

The white puck was moving like a white lightning moving from one side to the other, with a very fast speed that couldn't be followed by eyes.

The audience was from Ritsu, Maiko, and Miu were speechless, looking at the battle in front of them.

Saki, Mea, and Nana focussed all of their attention on this match, putting all of their strength!

As for Shishio, he tried to hold himself so his d.i.c.k wouldn't stand up since Nana's movement was so wild that it shook her b.r.e.a.s.t.s around, which made it hard for him to calm himself.

"H - How long is this match going to continue...?" Ritsu was speechless, looking at the air hockey match in front of her, which had continued for a while, but at this moment, suddenly Nana lost her focus and missed her chance to strike back the puck.

"Ah, I miss it!"

But...

"....."

The puck didn't slide as usual but stopped in the middle.

"....."

"Stuck?" Mea was confused.

"There's no air coming out," Shishio said while touching the table with his hand. "Well, there's a time limit after all.

"Eh? Is there a time limit?"

"No way!"

"Should we continue?" Mea asked.

"Let's continue." Saki nodded without hesitation.

"Let's start the match again!" Nana said with a smile.

"I'm going to stop." Shishio felt that if he continued, his d.i.c.k would stand up, so he decided to stop. "Do any of you want to play?"

"I'll go!" Maiko said and moved forward to change Shishio's position.

Ritsu and Miu didn't intend to move forward. After all, it wasn't a match that could be played by a literary girl like them.

Shishio then moved back and joined the audience to watch the match, the match started again, and they continued to fight, but then, he felt that his sleeve was tucked. "Mashiro, what's wrong?"

"Shishio, come here," Shiina said and pulled Shishio somewhere.

Shishio followed Shiina and was wondering where this girl was going to take him. He then looked at Usa, who was playing a game, and wondered why this guy didn't talk with Ritsu but played with a game?

"Shishio, what's this?" Shiina pointed her finger at the small booth on the edge of the arcade.

"Oh, that's a photo booth," Shishio said.

"A photo booth?" Shiina looked at Shishio curiously.

"It's a place to take pictures together. You can even edit the photo there," Shishio said.

"Photo?" Shiina looked at the photo booth with interest.

Shishio looked at Shiina and asked, "Do you want to give it a try, Mashiro?"

"Um." Shiina nodded without hesitation and wanted to pull Shishio inside the photo booth. "Let's try it together, Shishio."

Shishio looked at Shiina with a smile and nodded. "Sure."

Shishio and Shiina entered the photo booth together, and they could see their reflection on the screen. He looked at the various effects on the photo booth with interest and also made it better since he had a "Photography Mastery." "So, is there any effect that you want, Mashiro?"

Shiina shook her head and said, "I only want a photo with Shishio."

"....." Shishio looked at Shiina for a while, then nodded. He erased all the effects on the decoration, effect, etc., on the booth, only added some adjustments so the photo that came out would become several times better. "Alright, it is ready. Do you want to put a pose or something?"

"Pose?" Shiina tilted her head, but then she asked, "Then let's hug?"

"...Are you sure?" Shishio asked.

"Un, we hugged each other, right?" Shiina said innocently.

"...."

Shishio looked at Shiina for a bit, then moved behind Shiina, hugging her waist gently, then put his head on her shoulder. "Is this okay?" He was someone who had never hesitated, so he directly hugged her when there was a chance.

Shiina wasn't sure why, but she felt that her heartbeat was moving so fast, and she felt that her body started to feel hot, but she didn't hate this feeling, or rather, she felt very happy. "Um."

"Then I'll start taking photos," Shishio said.

"Un." Shiina nodded.

Then Shishio pressed the b.u.t.ton, and the screen showed the timing that it would start to their photo soon.

"Be ready, Mashiro."

"Um."

Then the camera on the photo booth started to take their photos several times, and it was only a few moments later that the photo was printed.

Shiina took the photo gently and looked at it for a while. There were six photos on her hands, and she couldn't help but smile when she saw Shishio showing various expressions on some of the photos.

"What do you think?" Shishio asked curiously.

"It's great." Shiina looked at Shishio with a smile and said, "Thank you, Shishio."

"No problem." Shishio patted Shiina's head gently and said, "Well, let's go out, and put that photo on your wallet or bag, so it won't be lost."

"Um." Shiina nodded, but then she gave half of the photos to Shishio. "For you, Shishio."

"Thanks." Shishio accepted the photos with a smile, then put them in his wallet.

They then walked out of the photo booth together and returned to everyone.

"Shishio, where have you been?"

When Shishio and Shiina suddenly disappeared, everyone felt confused and wondering where they had gone.

Shishio wanted to answer their question, but he felt that his sleeve was tucked by Shiina again. He looked at Shiina, who looked at him with some pleading, and somehow he understood what she meant, even though she didn't say anything. He looked at everyone and said, "Mashiro wanted to go to the toilet before, so I guided her there since she didn't know where it was." He then looked at Shiina and saw that she seemed to be relieved.

Shiina also nodded and said, "I went to the toilet."

Everyone also nodded and didn't doubt their words since they didn't think that Shiina had the ability to lie.

Shishio looked at Shiina and thought that this girl was craftier than he had thought.

"Then let's continue to play!"

"Oh!!"

---

When there was a beginning, there was also an ending, the fun time on the arcade ended, and they went home. After all, they couldn't stay out too late. Even though some of them were gyaru, it didn't mean they were a bad girl, or rather they were a good girl.

"Bye, everyone! See you tomorrow!" Usa waved his hand and felt happy about the play, but he felt sad when he thought about his wallet.

"Um, see you tomorrow." Miu nodded with a smile and also left.

Then one by one, they went on their own way to go home, except for Shishio, Shiina, Ritsu, and Saki since the three of them were living in the Sakurasou and Saki's house was in the same direction.

Nana said goodbye to everyone, then whispered to Saki. "Don't steal the march, alright?"

"....." Saki was speechless, staring at Nana. In truth, she had stolen the march since she had kissed Shishio before, but there was no way for her to say this matter, right?

Nana stuck out her tongue toward Saki, then smiled at Shishio. "See you tomorrow, Shishio."

"See you tomorrow, Nana." Shishio nodded with a smile.

"Cough! Cough! Don't forget about us, alright?" Maiko was speechless.

"Your treatment of us is so unfair!" Mea complained.

"Bye, Maiko, Mea, see you tomorrow," Shishio said in a monotone.

"....." Mea and Maiko somehow wanted to beat this guy up.

Nana laughed, then grabbed both Mea and Maiko. "See you tomorrow, Shishio!"

Shishio nodded and didn't care whether Nana had said "see you tomorrow" several times, then looked at Shiina, Saki, and Ritsu. "Let's go back."

The three of them nodded and walked back together.

Shishio looked at the three of them and asked, "Say, did the three of you have fun today?" He had asked them to join the literature club, after all, so at least he wanted them to have fun and not regret their decision to join.

"Un." Shiina nodded without hesitation.

"Well, it's good to do something like this from time to time," Saki said simply, but in truth, as long as she was with Shishio, she didn't think too much.

Shishio looked at Ritsu and asked, "What about you, Senpai?"

"Well... it's alright..." Ritsu somehow felt embarra.s.sed, to be truthful, but well, she was really having fun. However, she felt conflicted since she could see that among the girls that came to the arcade before, she was the one with the most distance from him. When everyone was calling him by his first name, she was still calling him by his family name. Even though she had never said it, she felt quite jealous and restless since she was afraid that their relationship would have never changed, but she was also afraid that their relationship might change. Her feeling was very contradictory, and she wasn't sure what to do.

Shishio looked at Ritsu's smile and could see that there was something, but since it wasn't the time, he wasn't going to say anything. "If you feel today's fun, then tomorrow will be even better."

"....." Shiina, Saki, and Ritsu.

"...Why are you looking at me like that?" Shishio was speechless.

"I have only realized it, but sometimes, you have always said something embarra.s.sing, Oga-kun," Ritsu said with a blush.

"...." Shishio blushed and looked away for a moment.

"..." Shiina, Saki, and Ritsu saw Shishio, who was blushing, and somehow felt that he was very cute right now.

"Well, Mashiro, Senpai, it is quite near Sakurasou now. Can you go home first? I'll send Saki back to her home," Shishio said.

"Eh?" Ritsu was startled, and Shiina opened her slightly dazed eyes.

Saki was also surprised, but at the same time, she knew that Shishio didn't forget about her. She nodded gently and agreed.

"Then I'll send Saki first since it is almost dark," Shishio said.

"Un." Shiina nodded.

"Then be careful," Ritsu said, but at the same time, she was really wondering what the relationship between Shishio and Saki was.

Shishio nodded and said, "Let's go, Saki."

Saki nodded and didn't say much, walking next to Shishio, closer to him, feeling the long-lost warmth that she sought and loved.

Looking at Saki and Shishio, who walked together, Ritsu felt complicated, but then her sleeve was tucked by Shiina.

"Ritsu?"

Ritsu looked at Shiina, who looked at her with a confused expression. Looking at Shiina's expression, she was wondering what kind of expression was on her face right now. She quickly returned her face to her usual indifference and said, "Let's go back, Mashiro."

"Un." Shiina nodded while looking at Ritsu in doubt.

Ritsu held Shiina's hand and walked back to Sakurasou, but before she walked, she turned her head once again toward the direction of Shishio and Saki. She tried to ignore the feeling in her heart, but why did it feel so uncomfortable?
