I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo Chapter 187: Your Smell

Chapter 187: Your Smell

Shishio arrived at Sakurasou, opened the gate, and was about to put his motorcycle inside. However, the entrance door of Sakurasou was opened so suddenly, and he saw Shiina flying toward him.

"Shishio!"

Shishio looked at Shiina, who hugged him so suddenly. Luckily, he had a "Balance Mastery," or else he would fall down on the ground. His voice was quite helpless, and he said, "Mashiro, don't hug me so suddenly."

Shiina smelled his manly smell that was mixed with oil and gasoline, which somehow made her smile, but amidst all those smells, she could smell a sweet smell that she was familiar with, which caused her head to become blank.

"......."

Shiina rubbed her head and tried to erase this smell with her own smell, but somehow no matter how many times she tried to rub her smell on him, this sweet smell was still on his body as if it had merged into his body. She tried really hard, but even so, this sweet smell couldn't be erased. However, she could smell the smell of her body slowly merging into him somehow, which made her feel slightly better.

Looking at Shiina, who ignored him and rubbed her head against his body, Shishio was lost for words, patted her head lightly, and said, "Can you let go of me for a bit? I need to park my motorcycle for a bit." However, she ignored her words and hugged him tighter.

Shishio raised his eyebrow and felt surprised by this reaction. "Mashiro?"

"...Shishio." Shiina didn't raise her head and called out his name softly.

"Hmm?"

*Growl!*

"...."

"I'm hungry," Shiina said while hugging him, pressing her head against his chest without looking at him.

"...."

Shishio was wondering what was wrong with Shiina, but he knew that her condition was quite weird. "Well, let's enter. I'll cook a hamburger later."

"I want a baumkuchen," Shiina said.

"Only one, alright?" Shishio said.

"Three."

"..."

"One, or else, you won't have the stomach for your dinner," Shishio said.

Ritsu also came and chased after Shiina when she saw her running but stopped when she saw her hugging Shishio.

"..."

Ritsu was about to open her mouth, but no words came out until she closed her mouth and tried hard to maintain her usual expression. "Is that your motorcycle, Shishio?"

Hearing Ritsu's words, Shiina looked at Shishio's motorcycle curiously, but she still stuck to him regardless.

"Yes, Senpai." Shishio nodded and looked at Shiina again. "I'll park my motorcycle for now. Can you let me go for a while?"

"Can you pat my head?" Shiina asked.

"I'll only pat your head if you're a good girl, so can you let go of me for a bit, Mashiro?" Shishio asked.

"..."

Shiina was a bit annoyed when she was treated as a child, and she pouted her cheek.

Shishio smiled, took his helmet, and put it on Shiina's head. "Wait for me inside, alright?"

Shiina looked at him absentmindedly and nodded. She let go of him, but she didn't move that far from him.

Shishio then parked his motorcycle, and when he was about to park it, he saw Sorata was also there. Sorata seemed stunned, and his face was very pale at that moment. However, he didn't think too much about Sorata. Rather he also noticed Ritsu, whose expression was a bit weird, he could see that she tried to smile, but she failed, which somehow made him sigh. He sighed inwardly, parked his motorcycle, and entered Sakurasou with Shiina.

"Welcome, Shishio-sama," Roberta greeted.

"Roberta, can you take care of Mashiro for a bit? I need to change my clothes first," Shishio said.

"Yes." Roberta nodded, then looked at Shiina. "Mashiro."

Shiina nodded, but her hand still held Shishio's blazer.

Shishio looked at Shiina and asked, "Do you want to go to my room too?"

"Um." Shiina nodded.

"..."

"Cough! Cough! Mashiro, let's wait for him in the living room," Ritsu said and pulled Shiina away from Shishio.

Shiina was a bit reluctant, but she still let him go.

"Thank you, Senpai," Shishio said.

"It's alright." Ritsu nodded and didn't say much.

Shishio didn't think too much about Ritsu's reaction since it was a normal reaction, then he looked at Sorata and said, "What's wrong, Kanda-kun?" He could see Sorata clenching his fists, showing frustration, but he didn't think too much, and it seemed that he was the only one who noticed his reaction since no one looked at this guy too much.

"Ah!"

Sorata awoke at that moment and quickly shook his head. "No - Nothing..."

"Is that so? Then I'll go to my room first," Shishio said and left Sorata behind.

"....." Sorata.

"Right, Kanda-kun." Shishio suddenly stopped when he was about to walk toward his room, looking at Sorata.

"Yes?" Sorata looked at Shishio with a confused expression.

"I have found someone who will adopt Hikari-chan. You don't need to thank me," Shishio said with a smile, then left.

"...."

Sorata was left alone. Then he looked at Shiina, who also walked away with both Roberta and Ritsu. Somehow he just felt so tired at that moment, and the clenched fists slowly loosened. He sighed in his heart and knew that it had been a week since he moved to Sakurasou, and he also had figured out that he had nothing to do with Shiina, so what right did he have to be jealous of Shishio?

Hearing Shishio's words before when he had found an owner for Hikari (Sorata's cat), Sorata knew that he could go out from this place and he should be happy. However, he couldn't be happy. After all, everyone's reaction was so flat even though they knew that he would move out, especially when he saw Shiina's reaction that seemed to be indifferent. Maybe he had thought too much over this period of time since he knew the more he thought, the more he hated himself, but if he could blame someone, then he could only blame the world since he couldn't get to know Shiina Mashiro first.

If there was a parallel world, if there was no Shishio in Sakurasou, if the person who picked her up was him, then the story between them maybe...

---

Inside his room, Shishio took off his uniform, wearing only his boxer. He didn't wear his clothes at first, but he smelled his clothes first, wondering whether they smelled weird. Then, he tried to smell his body, and he could smell the smell of his body, the smell of gasoline and oil, the smell of Shiina, and lastly, the smell of Nana.

"....."

Somehow Shishio understood why Shiina tried to hug him so hard and rubbed her head against his body. He sighed, but there was nothing that he could do. It was his decision, it was his choice, and he didn't regret it since if he regretted it, then he would make the sacrifice of both Saki and Nana became waste, so he needed to harden his heart.

As for what to do with Shiina, Shishio knew that he needed to make her up somehow, but he needed a chance to do that.

'Chance, huh...?'

Shishio shook his head, and all he could do for now was to make delicious food for her. He was about to take his clothes. Oh, he also needed to print up his ma.n.u.script, too, since he wanted to know Shiro-san's opinion about his ma.n.u.script.

---

"...."

In the living room, everyone was strangely quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of a flipping book.

Only Roberta, Shiina, and Ritsu were in the living room, and it could be said that the three of them were the quietest, and they had never talked too much.

Ritsu was still thinking about Shiina's question before and how she felt something important was stolen when she saw Shiina hug Shishio. She somehow hated this feeling since it was so uncomfortable. She tried to distract her mind by reading a book, but all the words in the book couldn't enter her head. So she only flipped the book, reading very fast, and didn't stop since if she stopped, she might think about the thing that made her uncomfortable.

As for Shiina, she was in a daze, lying on the tatami floor, staring at the ceiling, wondering why she felt uncomfortable when she smelled that sweet smell on his body. Of course, she knew the reason and the source of that sweet smell, but that sweet smell merged into his body, which caused her to think that he might go far away from her.

"...."

Shiina didn't know what to do until she remembered what Ayano Iida (Shiina's editor) had told her before that she should add a dating scene to her manga.

'Date...'

Shiina thought this one word and thought that she should go on a date with Shishio!

As for Roberta, she had always been very quiet, and she had never talked much. She would only follow her duty and served her master very well since it was her purpose of life after he had saved her from that place.

With the three of them in the living room, it was very quiet, and no one seemed about to break this silence until they heard loud footsteps start to get closer.

"Shishio! I saw your motorcycle! Take me for a ride!"

Misaki ran very fast to the living room, hoping for Shishio to bring her for a ride or two, but when she came, she didn't see him, and somehow she could see the awkward atmosphere in the living room. She t.i.tled her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

When Misaki asked this question, there was another person who walked to the living room too.

"Oga-kun, I saw your motorcycle. Do you want me to give some modification to it?" Shiro-san asked while holding a rope in his hands, showing a harmless smile.

"......" Everyone.

Shiro-san noticed the strange atmosphere on everyone and asked, "What's wrong?"

'Isn't it because of you?' They wanted to scream, but somehow they had gotten used to him and felt that he might be happy if they got angry at him, so they decided to ignore him, but they forgot that even if they ignored him, Shiro-san would still be very happy!

"Ah, this kind of PLAY is great!" Shiro-san said with a flushed face.

"......."

Misaki moved further from Shiro-san. Even though she was an alien, she wasn't a pervert after all. She looked at Roberta and asked, "Roberta-san, where's Shishio-kun?" Even though Roberta, Shiina, and Ritsu were quiet, she knew that the most reliable among the three of them were Roberta, so she asked her that question.

"Shishio-sama is in his room. He should change his clothes now," Roberta said calmly.

Misaki nodded and was about to go to Shishio's room, but...

"Shishio!"

Shiina and Ritsa quickly reacted and saw Shishio walking toward their direction while holding many papers in his hands.

"What's in your hands?" Misaki asked curiously.

"It's a ma.n.u.script of my novel." Shishio raised the ma.n.u.scripts in his hands and said, "Shiro-san, I have said that I'll show it to you after school, right?"

"Oh, I'm a bit excited to read it," Shiro-san said with a smile.

"Me too! Me too! I want to read it!" Misaki raised her hand excitedly.

"Well, I have brought five copies with me." Shishio looked at Shiina, Roberta, and Ritsu. "Mashiro, Senpai, Roberta, do you want to read it too?"

The three of them nodded without hesitation.

Shishio shared the copies of the ma.n.u.scripts with five of them and said, "You can read them while I prepare for dinner."

They didn't give the nod since they were staring at the ma.n.u.script curiously.

"5 Centimeters per Second?"

They t.i.tled their heads and wondered what kind of story was written by Shishio.
