I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo Chapter 191: The Change in Sakurasou 1

Chapter 191: The Change in Sakurasou 1

In the morning, Shishio woke up, as usual, to go to work out, but when he was about to go out, he was surprised to see Mitaka, who was holding a suitcase as if he was about to go somewhere. "Huh? Mitaka-senpai, are you going somewhere?" They were only talking to each other last night, but why did it suddenly become like this?

"Oga-kun!"

Mitaka was stunned when he saw Shishio, who was wearing a sports getup. He tried to smile and asked, "Are you going to work out?"

"Yeah." Shishio nodded then asked, "You're going to move?"

"Yes." Mitaka nodded, then said, "By the way, I'm sorry for last night. I might have gotten too emotional." When he had calmed down, he realized how unreasonable his request was. After all, someone else's ma.n.u.script wasn't something that anyone could see. It was like asking for the color of someone else's wives' panties from their husbands. There was no way Shishio would allow something like that, right?

"It's alright, but Senpai, what's wrong with you?" Shishio asked, even though he could guess more or less.

Mitaka showed a bitter smile and said, "It seems that my ability isn't enough for Misaki."

Shishio nodded in understanding and could guess what had happened last night. He could guess that Mitaka had shown his script to Misaki, but Misaki couldn't accept his script and probably rejected it. Mitaka then thought that his ability wasn't enough and decided to move. "So, where are you going to move?"

"I'm going to move in with my friend," Mitaka said with a bitter expression.

"Girl?" Shishio raised his eyebrow.

"Boy," Mitaka said without hesitation. "I will break my relationship with all of my girlfriends and work hard on writing."

"....." Shishio wasn't sure what to say, or rather he didn't care much. "I see, but do you think that Misaki will be alright once you leave?" But he had to admit that, unlike Sorata, Mitaka was really a man since once Mitaka had decided to do something, Mitaka would do it without hesitation. However, he was wondering whether this guy didn't feel worried about leaving Misaki on Sakurasou, especially with him around?

"She's going to be alright," Mitaka said without hesitation. "I'm his childhood friend, and I have known her for a long time. So I know that she'll be alright even if I leave her."

"....." Shishio could only shake his head inwardly, even if someone's relationship was very close, and they had known each other for a long time, there was no way for both of them to understand each other completely, but he wouldn't say that since it was too troublesome.

"Right, before I leave, can I ask you a question, Oga-kun?" Mitaka then looked at Shishio with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Shishio asked.

"Do you like Misaki?" Mitaka asked without hesitation. His eyes were serious, and if Shishio nodded, then he might try to fight him right here and now.

Shishio shook his head and said, "I already have a girlfriend."

"...."

Mitaka was dumbfounded and asked, "Really?"

Shishio nodded calmly.

"Is it Mashiro-chan?" Mitaka asked.

"No." Shishio shook his head, then smiled and said, "Senpai, the only one who likes such an alien-like girl is you."

"....." Mitaka blushed and felt embarra.s.sed. "You know?"

"Of course." Shishio nodded without hesitation.

"I see..." Mitaka wasn't sure what to say and felt embarra.s.sed, but he sighed in relief and felt that the boulder on his shoulders had disappeared somehow when he learned that Shishio had already a girlfriend. "Then I'll go out now. I don't want anyone else to see me."

"Have you told anyone about your move, Senpai?" Shishio asked.

"I've only told Chihiro-sensei," Mitaka said simply.

"I'll send you out," Shishio said.

"Thanks." Mitaka nodded.

Both of them walked out of the dorm and then separated in their own way, but when Shishio was about to walk, Mitaka called him out.

"Oga-kun!"

Shishio stopped and turned toward Mitaka. "What's wrong, Senpai?"

Mitaka looked at Shishio for a bit, then shook his head. "Nothing, I'll go first." Even though he felt envious of Shishio's talent, what was the use of it?

Mitaka knew that his ability didn't match Misaki, and he might have always been pampered by Misaki, who told him that his ability was alright, but he knew that it wasn't true. However, more importantly, he might have realized it too late, or he might not want to admit that hard work wasn't always rewarded.

Shishio nodded and didn't say much. Looking at Mitaka's back, somehow, he wondered how Misaki was going to react to this matter, but it didn't really matter for him, and at the same time, he knew that he had made the change on Sakurasou.

---

Sorata didn't have a good sleep last night, or rather, he couldn't fall asleep last night, especially when it happened yesterday. The first thing that happened was when he saw Shiina hugging Shishio intimately. When he saw that, he felt that it didn't really matter anymore and felt that he had lost his soul. Still, he also knew that his relationship with Shiina was just someone who was living in the same dorm, and he was just a stranger in her eyes, but deep inside, he still had a hope that Shishio might not choose Shiina and Shiina would choose him. However, when he was about to have dinner, he was stunned once again when he heard that Shishio and Shiina were going on a date on Sat.u.r.day.

"..."

Sorata felt his head almost split, and it was buzzing. He felt that his entire body was hurt that he almost pa.s.sed out, hoping that everything was a dream, but he knew that it was reality. Somehow he just wanted to leave Sakurasou as soon as possible at this moment.

"Meow! Meow!"

Sorata frowned and felt quite annoyed by the "meow" of Hikari. He wasn't sure why he felt this, but he felt that if this wasn't because of this cat, then he wouldn't be this painful. "Shut up!"

Hikari looked at Sorata for a while before she left and stopped "meowing."

Looking at Hikari, who had stopped "meow," Sorata sighed and rubbed his temple. He wanted to wash his face before he went to go to school, but when he was about to walk out of his room, he saw someone walking in the corridor on the 2nd floor.

"Good morning, Kanda-kun," Shishio said with a light smile.

"Go - Good morning, Oga-kun," Sorata said with a forced smile, and he lowered his head slightly since he didn't want him to see his expression at this moment, and he also didn't really want to see Shishio's body that would cause him to feel quite inferior again. However, he still remembered the football match yesterday and couldn't help but feel both grateful and envious.

Sorata was grateful that because of Shishio, he wasn't blamed. Still, he was also envious that Shishio could also play football easily while he, who had been joining the football club from elementary school to middle school, couldn't even be compared to him.

Shishio didn't think too much and left his room directly since he felt quite cold since he only wore a t-shirt and shorts, but before he was about to enter his room, Sorata stopped him.

"Wait, Oga-kun!"

Shishio stopped and looked at Sorata. "What's wrong, Kanda-kun?"

Sorata gulped and asked, "You have said that someone wanted to adopt Hikari (his cat), right?"

"Yes." Shishio nodded and said, "She'll visit on Friday. So you can meet each other at that time."

"I see..." Sorata nodded, but then he realized something. "She?"

"Um." Shishio nodded. "The one who wants to adopt your cat is a girl."

"I - I see..." Sorata felt jealous again, wondering how this guy could know a lot of girls?

"So, is that all?" Shishio asked.

"Ah, yes, thank you very much," Sorata said and bowed his head directly at Shishio.

"........"

Shishio looked at Sorata and felt amused at this guy. "Well, you don't need to worry." He then entered his room and closed the door since he needed to change into his uniform.

Sorata then raised his head, but he was wondering why when Shishio was about to enter, he felt like he saw him smiling at him. He frowned and then shook his head. 'It's only my imagination, right?'

As usual, everyone ate breakfast together in the dining room, but Ritsu and Mayumi somehow weren't in a good mood.

As for Roberta and Shiina, both of them were different, and they had never thought too much, enjoying their breakfast in the morning.

Shiro-san didn't say much, but he could notice the change in everyone, and he knew that it was because of what had happened last night, but what could he do? He wasn't Shishio's father, and it was his freedom to go on a date with anyone, right? Especially when Ritsu and Mayumi were the only tenants from the same dorm, so neither of them had the right to stop Shishio, right?

Sorata also joined to have breakfast, but he had been silent since it had been a while since he had eaten Shishio's food, so it brought him to tears that he just wanted to enjoy it now.

Among everyone, probably the one who had the strangest action would probably be Misaki.

"Shishio-kun! I want a second!" Misaki said and gave her rice bowl to Shishio.

"No, you have eaten a lot." Shishio looked at Misaki and said, "You'll get a stomachache if you eat more, and if you eat more, you'll also eat Chihiro-nee's portion." He knew that eating too much wasn't good, so he tried to stop Misaki, but...

"It's alright. Chihiro-nee has told me that she's going to give me her breakfast!" Misaki said without hesitation with a smile, but...

"I have never told you that," Chihiro suddenly said.

Everyone quickly turned, and they saw Chihiro entered the dining room, but her complexion wasn't good.

"Misaki, I know that you're sad that Mitaka has moved, but..." Chihiro wanted to say something, but Misaki quickly stopped her.

"I don't feel sad. Anyway, I'm full now. I'll go out now!" Misaki said then left without hesitation, but everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Chihiro's words.

"Senpai, please clean up your plates first!" Shishio shouted.

"Please take care of them for me, Shishio-kun! I'll make you up later!" Misaki shouted before she left.

Shishio shook his head and didn't say much since he knew what was happening.

"Chihiro, has Mitaka moved?" Mayumi asked curiously, and she quickly smelled gossip, especially when "What happened?"

"Well, I'm not sure." Chihiro shook her head and said, "You should ask Misaki about that matter."

"d.a.m.n! She has run away!" Mayumi felt a bit itchy and wanted to chase after Misaki since she wanted to learn what was happening.

Besides Mayumi, Ritsu and Shiro-san were also surprised, but they had seen a lot of people who had decided to move, so they didn't think too much, especially when Mitaka was in his 3rd year of high school.

As for Shiina and Roberta, they didn't think too much since their relationship with Mitaka wasn't close.

The one who was probably the most shocked was Sorata. He sat there dumbfounded and didn't say a word for a while until he woke up a moment later. "Huh? Really? Mitaka-senpai has moved?" When he thought that Mitaka had moved, his desire to move from Sakurasou became even bigger since if someone like Mitaka couldn't stay here, then he, who was an ordinary, also couldn't hold on anymore.

"Yes." Chihiro nodded and asked, "You want to move too, Kanda?"

"...Yes." Sorata nodded after a moment of hesitation.

"Have your cats been adopted?" Chihiro asked.

"Only Hikari is left," Sorata said.

"Then leave it here. Shishio can probably take care of it, right?" Chihiro looked at Shishio.

Shishio was surprised, but then he nodded. "Well, I don't mind taking care of Hikari. She's a very cute cat."

"........." Sorata then looked at Hikari, who snuggled at Shishio's feet, which made his heart hurt, but this way, he could move out from Sakurasou.

"You should talk with the regular dorm by yourself later, Kanda," Chihiro said.

"Yes, Chihiro-sensei." Sorata nodded obediently.

Chihiro wasn't surprised that Sorata wanted to move, and as for Mitaka, in truth, she was quite surprised that Mitaka could stay so long in Sakurasou. Still, she didn't think too much since there was something that had been bothering her for a while. "Shishio, are you really going on a date with Mashiro?"

".........."

When that question fell, everyone was in silence again.
