I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo Chapter 233: Endless Train

Chapter 233: Endless Train

Sakurasou.

Everyone thought that s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and s.h.i.+na would go back at night, but they didn't expect that either of them would go back, and even though they didn't want to think something weird, their imagination was quite wild.

"They have s.e.x," Mayumi said without hesitation.

"......."

"Mayumi!" Chihiro glared at Mayumi.

"You know that a young man like him is like a h.o.r.n.y monkey, and both of them have gone to the love hotel, right? What do you think if both youngsters who are curious about s.e.x stay together?" Mayumi said without hesitation.

"......."

Everyone became quiet again.

s.h.i.+ro-san didn't stay in the living room and went to his room to write since he had gotten a lot of inspiration from the town before.

Misaki and Ritsu didn't say much. Both of them were doing their own things, but when they heard Mayumi's words, their expression changed, but they didn't stop what they were doing and listened to their conversation quietly.

As for Sorata, his face was bloodless, and his head was very dizzy when he imagined s.h.i.+na was being f.u.c.ked by s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o. He wondered why he left at that time, and right now, he just wanted to go back and sleep, hoping that everything was just a nightmare.

Chihiro didn't think too much when Sorata walked back to his room and decided to call s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o. "I'll call him."

"Yeah, call him!" Mayumi snorted and said, "With that guy's face and talent, it is easy for him to become a sc.u.mbag in Tokyo, as his aunt, you should tell him not to become one." She hated sc.u.mbags. After all, she had been cheated several times, though she wasn't sure why. It seemed that she couldn't get away from a sc.u.mbag and became a sc.u.mbag magnet. However, all the sc.u.mbags that she had met were just trash, unlike s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's type of sc.u.mbag that was obviously different, which somehow made her lament her relations.h.i.+p history. 'If I met s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o in my youth...' She sighed and just wanted to cry at this moment.

Chihiro looked at Mayumi and didn't say much. It didn't take a long time before her phone was answered, and she talked with him for a moment, ignoring everyone who was trying to eavesdrop on her. She talked for a while before she hung up the phone and let out a sigh.

"How?" Mayumi asked.

Misaki and Ritsu didn't say anything, but they looked at Chihiro, waiting for her answer.

"You don't need to worry. They won't have s.e.x," Chihiro said simply. She couldn't force them to go back, but she could check them tomorrow. If s.h.i.+na couldn't walk straight, then...

They let out a long sigh of relief at the same time. Unfortunately, Sorata had returned and didn't hear Chihiro's words.

"When are they going back?" Ritsu asked.

"They won't be back tonight. They'll stay out," Chihiro said and chugged the can of beer in front of her directly. She had made up her mind before, but even so, it still felt uncomfortable.

"........"

"I will go back first," Ritsu said.

"Me too. I have to work on my anime!" Misaki said.

Mayumi looked at Ritsu and Misaki that had left, and somehow, she was left with Chihiro here.

Both of them were single women, and they were almost in their 30s too.

"Should we drink?" Mayumi asked.

"Let's drink until we go crazy!" Chihiro said without any hesitation since she just wanted to go drunk right now.

"OOOOHHH!!!"

s.h.i.+na stood on the side of the station in a daze, staring at a lot of people who were still walking in the station. It was at night, but she could see many people still entering the train one after another. She then looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o, who stood next to her, talking with someone on the phone. She then continued to look at many people in front of her since it was her first time seeing so many people at once. She felt a bit intimidated and held his hand tighter.

"Sorry for making you wait, Mas.h.i.+ro," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said and put his phone back, holding her hand gently as if telling her that everything was alright.

"It's okay." s.h.i.+na shook her head and asked, "Chihiro?"

"Um." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o nodded since Chihiro had just called him and felt a bit speechless when she asked him whether he would have s.e.x with s.h.i.+na. He and s.h.i.+na might have kissed each other and looked at each other naked bodies, but even so, they hadn't had s.e.x yet. He wasn't able to say "I love you" to her. How could he have s.e.x with her? If he did it, then he would be really worse than a sc.u.mbag.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o might be a sc.u.mbag, but he was a responsible sc.u.mbag. "Let's buy something before we enter the train. Our trip is quite long, after all. Is there something that you want to eat?" He recalled that their trip to Iwafune would take at least a few hours, so he thought to buy something since they hadn't had dinner yet.

s.h.i.+na thought for a bit and said, "Baumkuchen."

"Well, let's go to the convenience store to buy it."

After they had decided to visit Iwafune, they went to s.h.i.+njuku station immediately. This station was known as the busiest station in the entire world, and there were at least 3 million people here every day, and they had to admit this place was very crowded.

"You know, if I'm not beside you here, I'm sure that you'll get lost in this place," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said while looking at the crowd.

s.h.i.+na nodded and didn't doubt his words since she would really get lost in this place if s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o wasn't on her side. "But it's okay. You're beside me." She knew that as long as he was right beside her, everything would be alright.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at s.h.i.+na for a moment and could only look at her with a gentle expression. "Let's be in a hurry, or else we'll be late."

s.h.i.+na nodded, staring at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's expression, and wondered how he could show such a gentle expression, even though he was in so much pain, but no matter what, she had made up her mind to help him in this trip so he wouldn't be troubled by his emotion again.

'But how?'

s.h.i.+na questioned that question in her head, but she really had no idea what to do.

---

Now, the question is, why Iwafune?

Iwafune is just a small town that is located in Tochigi Prefecture.

There was nothing special about this town. Everything was so dull and normal.

In 2015, this town merged into Tochigi town since the population of that town kept decreasing and almost turned into a dead town.

However, this town had become the setting of the "5 Centimeters per Second", where Takaki (main character) and Akari (heroine) saw each other for the last time at Iwafune station.

s.h.i.+na had read s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's story, and she realized that the story he had written was so sad and bitter, but at the same time, she was confused since the end of the story that he had written didn't match his personality.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's personality was very a.s.sertive and aggressive. As long as he made up his mind on something, he would do it without hesitation, which was why s.h.i.+na didn't understand the ending of the "5 Centimeters per Second" that he had written.

s.h.i.+na knew that Akari (the heroine of the story) was about to marry someone. Still, with s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's personality, even if Akari married, she thought that Takaki (the story's protagonist) would steal Akari from her fiance.

It might be a bad ending for Akari's fiance, but it was a happy ending for Takaki. As for Akari's happiness, s.h.i.+na thought Akari would be happier with Takaki since Takaki was Akari's crush. Such an ending was suitable with s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's personality, which was why s.h.i.+na didn't understand. She wanted to ask him why he made such an ending.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and s.h.i.+na were on the train together, and the train to Iwafune was fairly empty since there weren't many people who would go to Iwafune. The sound of the train was the only thing that they could hear, and somehow they felt like there were only both of them in this world.

Bright lights, colorful buildings, and dazzling cars, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o watched each of those things through his eyes. It was like he was watching a silent movie, but s.h.i.+na's voice awoke him.

"s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o."

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at s.h.i.+na and asked, "Do you want to eat, Mas.h.i.+ro?"

s.h.i.+na looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o for a moment and nodded.

"Rather than Baumkuchen, how about you eat a bun?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked since the bun that he had bought before was still warm.

Looking at the white steam from the paper bag where the bun was kept, s.h.i.+na nodded without hesitation.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o took the sesame sweet bun for s.h.i.+na and took the cheese bun for himself. He pulled the paper under the bun and gave the bun to s.h.i.+na. "Here."

"Thank you." s.h.i.+na took the slightly hot bun in her hand and looked at it for a while before she ate it gently. Her tongue was slightly sensitive, which made it hard for her to eat the bun, but slowly, the heat from the bun reduced, and she started to chew the soft sweet bun.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o ate the cheese bun while looking at s.h.i.+na curiously. "How is it?"

"Delicious." s.h.i.+na took another bite of the sweet bun.

"Eat slowly," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said while looking at s.h.i.+na with a smile.

s.h.i.+na nodded and took the warm lemon tea that they had bought before, drinking it slowly. Her way of eating was like a small animal. She took a small bite before she chewed it slowly.

Both of them ate the bun quietly while looking at the scenery through the window of the train.

The trip to Iwafune was quite long, and they needed to change trains before they could arrive at Iwafune then. When they were sitting on the last train before they arrived at the Iwafune station, only the two of them were inside the train.

Sitting next to each other, they moved very close so they could share each other's warmth.

"s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o, can I ask?"

"What's wrong?"

"Why did you make such an ending?" s.h.i.+na asked while looking at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at s.h.i.+na for a moment and knew that she had read his story so without hesitation, he asked, "Mas.h.i.+ro, what kind of story do you think will be remembered by people forever?"

s.h.i.+na was surprised by this question, but then she shook her head. "I don't know."

"It's a tragedy." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at the ceiling of the train, holding the bottle of lemon tea with both of his hands on his lap, and said, "Unlike a manga, if a novel wants to be remembered, you need to write a tragedy. The same goes for my story, which is why I have written such an ending."

"Lie."

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o was stunned and looked at s.h.i.+na.

"Lie!" s.h.i.+na's eyes were red, and she said, "You're lying, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o."

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at s.h.i.+na, then shook his head and said, "I'm not lying."

"No, you're lying." s.h.i.+na shook her head.

"Why do you think I'm lying?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked.

"Because... because you were crying at that time..." s.h.i.+na was sad. She was sad that s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o couldn't trust her and depended on her. Before, she might not have understood what she was feeling, but now, she understood it. "I love you, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o."

"...."

s.h.i.+na looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o, straight into her eyes, and said, "When I am with you, I feel happy. When I see you smiling, I also smile. When I see you sad, I also feel sad, but more importantly, I feel sadder when you can't even trust me to help you."

"....."

"I... I want to be your strength. I want to be your strength so you can overcome your trouble," s.h.i.+na said with tears dripped from her eyes.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at s.h.i.+na and said, "Why did you cry?" He helped to wipe the tears on her eyes.

"I don't know. I don't know, but my heart hurts..." s.h.i.+na said while shaking her head.

"You know, I'm the worst kind of man, and you might not be my only one," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said.

"I don't mind. I just want to be with you," s.h.i.+na said and kept looking at him with red eyes.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at s.h.i.+na and saw how determined she was. He closed his eyes and pictured an image of her in her mind. He loved her, but he knew that it was impossible to meet her now, so for now, it was enough for him to be able to picture her on his mind and treasure all of those precious memories inside his heart.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o opened his eyes, looked at s.h.i.+na for a moment, and said, "Mas.h.i.+ro, do you want to listen to my story?"

"Yes." Tears still dripped from her eyes, but s.h.i.+na showed a bright smile at this moment.
