I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo Chapter 708: Abrupt

Chapter 708: Abrupt

The cultural festival would be held soon, and now, he was with the literature club with all of the members who also happened to be his girlfriends. It was definitely a coincidence, and it had nothing to do with the fact he was so thirsty that he would lay his claws on every girl he saw.

Yet what he didn’t know, in the morning an accident happened.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, Hina Tachibana, and Chihiro, who came to the teacher’s room together, were stunned when everyone’s teachers seemed to discuss something. The mood around them was strange, and this atmosphere made them quite nervous, especially when Koharu looked at them worriedly.

“Wh-What’s wrong, Koharu?”

Even though Chihiro didn’t do anything wrong, she felt pretty nervous since she knew she had done something wrong to Shishio, especially when she kissed his lips that night. Like him, she couldn’t forget about that kiss, which was why she subconsciously felt guilty when someone looked at her with such an expression.

Hina also wasn’t much better since she had a certain guilty conscience.

Meanwhile, Hiratsuka seemed better, but inwardly, her heart was beating so fast.

What’s wrong?

This is what they wanted to know, yet at the same time, they were also worried about knowing.

As for why they felt this worried even though they knew nothing, it was just because of a feeling, and it was because they knew they had done a wrong thing.

“Well, Chihiro, listen to this…”

Koharu approached the three and said, “We received an anonymous letter through fax…”

“Anonymous fax?” 3x

“Yes… I wonder what it meant by a lecherous teacher.”

“….” 3x

Chihiro was stunned, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she glanced at Hiratsuka and Hina, who seemed shocked and had pale faces.

However, after being momentarily stunned, they quickly approached the group of teachers to see the letter.

“I am sorry. Please let me see the anonymous letter.”

The three scrambled forward and pa.s.sed through a group of teachers before they saw the letter.

“Kiriya Reiji is a lecherous teacher!”

“…” 3x

The other teachers asked them whether they knew anything, but they answered they didn’t know. Yet, they had to say they sighed in relief inwardly.

Chihiro looked at Hina and Hiratsuka before she shook her head.

Why should she be nervous?

Dammit!

She let out a long sigh, wondering whether he could get away from her mind.

Still, while everyone was in their own thoughts, suddenly Kiriya entered, and everyone looked at him with various emotions.

—

In the literature club, everyone was preparing for the cultural festival.

The girls were all excited, and they thought that they should also make a cafe too.

While he was speechless, he didn’t stop them since he knew it was also Rui Tachibana’s chance to show her skill to the public. Unlike a real restaurant where the reputation was on the stage, and one wrong food might lead to the bankruptcy of the business, a cultural festival was different since the one who did it was a student.

Even if they failed, they were forgiven since they were in the process of learning.

Even if they fail, it could also become a good experience for them.

While Rui was thinking about the menu with Shishio, the others tried to make this place into a horror room. Naturally, they also talked to each other since when girls were together, the quiet room would turn into a rowdy market.

“Your cla.s.s will also do a cafe, right? Is it okay to help us?” Ashihara Miu asked Nanami, Nana, Mea, and Maiko.

Everyone knew that Shishio’s cla.s.s would definitely go all out, so Miu wondered whether Nanami, Nana, Mea, and Maiko would be alright to help with the cultural festival in the literature club.

“It’s alright. It’s alright. We’re not the only students there. Of course, we can’t be here all the time,” Nana said with ease. However, her words were right. Even if their cla.s.s was doing something, it didn’t mean they all would rely on them all the time.

Everyone was working together, so everything had to be fair.

“But the uniform in your cla.s.s is so cute!” Momo Kashiwabara squealed as she looked at the uniform in Shishio’s cla.s.s.

“Our uniform isn’t that bad, you know?” Mai suddenly said.

Mai’s words weren’t wrong since they were going to wear a nun uniform.

“It feels like we’re going to open a horror cafe, though.”

“Isn’t it fine? It’s special and definitely attracts everyone’s attention!”

“By the way, Mashiro, what’s your cla.s.s doing?”

Everyone was looking at Shiina, who was drawing something lazily on the couch.

“Cafe.”

“….”

Shishio was speechless, wondering how many cafes were going to exist in this school, but he also knew that it was easier to do a cafe, and with the number of people that came to the cultural festival, it would be great to have more cafes.

It was also impossible for a similar cafe to appear at the same time since the student council and committee wouldn’t allow it.

“Shishio, did you listen to me?”

Suddenly, Rui’s voice awoke him.

“What are we talking about again?”

Rui sighed and asked, “What do you think we should serve?”

“I guess a cake or a sweet is better.”

“Can I ask the reason?” Rui asked since she thought she should prepare something savory such as pizza or pasta. She had heard about his experience before, and she also had visited the unique pizza restaurant with him, so she also wanted to do the same.

“We are a literature club. We’ll be doing our cafe here, but look around us.”

“Around us.”

Rui looked around and failed to understand what he meant.

“There are a lot of books around us.”

“…so?”

“If you cook something with a fire, what if it burns the book? By then, this whole room might also be burnt.”

“…”

Everyone, who happened to hear their conversation, was speechless, but they knew that this was the real concern of doing a cafe on the literature club.

While their small was a chance, it was still possible for the books to be caught on fire.

By then, what would they do?

Shishio wouldn’t be with them all the time, and if something happened, they might panic and get the situation more serious.

“Let’s not do something with a fire.”

They all agreed.

“Then, a sweet?”

“Yeah.”

“A sweet, huh? Like a tiramisu?”

“Tiramisu, bombolone, affogato, marzipan, but let’s not do too much. They are troublesome and take a long time to make, after all. Still, it might just be a whim, but how about we add an element of our theme to those sweets?”

“You mean to add the element of horror to our sweets?” Rui became “very” interested.

“Yeah.”

“Can you give me an example?”

He thought for a moment and said, “How about a b.l.o.o.d.y tiramisu?”

“b.l.o.o.d.y tiramisu?”

“We can use strawberry or cranberry jam to add a red color. By then, the tiramisu will have a red color of the blood.”

“Oh!”

“If that isn’t enough, we can make a ladyfinger with the shape of a real finger. I am sure that it will be creepy, though.”

They could imagine that it was creepy, yet it made them even more excited!

Everyone started talking about what kind of sweets they should serve and consulted Shishio and Rui about whether it was possible. After all, among them, the two were professional chefs.

“Then, how about a drink?”

Drink.

When this question fell, they were all looking at Shishio.

He thought for a moment and said, “How about tomato juice?”

“Tomato juice?”

“Well, it’s like the color of blood, but…”

How to say… it lacked an impact somehow.

“Then, do you want to put it in the blood bag?”

“…is it possible?”

“It’s possible, but the cost is going to be high, you know? A blood bag isn’t cheap after all.”

It was possible for him to get a blood bag since he had a hospital, and it was also easy for him to search for the supplier, but once again, it was troublesome, so he said, “But if we do that, the main attraction of the literature club won’t be our book. Instead, it will be a cafe. Are you okay with that? We have worked hard to write our stories and put them into a book, yet everyone is only coming to us because of our cafe. Are you okay with that?”

“….”

They were all in silence and felt that his words were right.

However, Shiina said, “Shishio is just being lazy.”

“…” Everyone.

“Shiina-san, do you not want to eat Baumkuchen tonight?”

“No!”

Shiina quickly hugged him, begging so he wouldn’t be cruel to her.

He patted her head helplessly, but he asked her to wear a nun outfit tonight, which made her agree.

Everyone who heard it had a strange yet lewd expression since they knew tonight’s theme was a nun.

As for him, he might have dressed into a demon, and it was their duty to defeat him!

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the literature club became subtle.

Ritsu, Mea, and Maiko looked at each other helplessly and felt a bit troubled by this, yet they didn’t walk away and somehow wanted to join this atmosphere.

Still, they had to say they decided not to do a b.l.o.o.d.y bag beverage unless the cost was cheap enough.

As for putting the drink in the b.l.o.o.d.y bag, there were many of them, so everything would be okay, right?

Anyway, they had been living in his apartment building to prepare for this cultural festival, and there were many things there, so their preparation was quite easy.

“By the way, how much are we going to sell our book again?”

“150 yen. It’s okay, right?”

“Well, it’s good enough.”

150 yen.

It wasn’t expensive, and the inflation wasn’t so high in 2005, so 150 yen was a good price.

“By the way, we have prepared the priest outfit for you. Do you want to wear it?”

Suddenly, Saki Kawasaki took out his priest uniform. While it was unexpected, her sewing skill was amazing.

“…now.”

“Now.”

“But we’re at the club.” He was speechless by how eager they were.

“Isn’t it alright?”

“….”

Mea, Maiko, and Ritsu wanted to say something, but they held it and just followed the flow.

“Do I have the right to refuse?”

“No!”

They quickly gathered around him and tried to take off his uniform forcefully like a group of hyenas that saw their prey, but suddenly the door opened.

“…”

They were all in silence, watching the person who had entered.

The person who entered was also stunned before his eyes were looking at Shishio’s body.

Kiriya Reiji.

Fortunately, it was their teacher who entered.

Kiriya looked at Shishio’s body for a while and said, “Next time, you should lock the door.” He closed the door and left.

“…”

Shishio wanted to say, “wait,” yet he felt reluctant, especially when Kiriya’s gaze made him shudder.
