I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo Chapter 297: Can I make a request?

Chapter 297: Can I make a request?

"Enter."

Yukinos.h.i.+ta closed the book in her hand and saw the Service Club's room door was opened.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o entered the room and noticed that Yukinos.h.i.+ta was looking at him. "What's wrong, Senpai?"

"Nothing." Yukinos.h.i.+ta shook her head and said, "I'm surprised that you have come."

"Are you still holding a grudge over that past?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked helplessly since he didn't come to this clubroom in the past. Still, the fault wasn't his, considering Yukinos.h.i.+ta made a one-sided appointment forcefully.

"Yes," Yukinos.h.i.+ta admitted generously.

"....."

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o didn't say anything and picked up the chair and desk on the back, then put it near Yukinos.h.i.+ta. When he set up the chair and table, he saw that she stood up and walked toward the single student desk right on the side, before she brought him a cup of tea and a package of senbei (j.a.panese rice cracker snack), before putting them on the desk that he picked before.

"Here you go."

"Thanks, Senpai." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o picked the cup of warm tea and sipped it gently. While sipping the tea, he wondered why he had to spend the end of the Friday with Yukinos.h.i.+ta. He had four girlfriends, and he felt that it was better to spend his time with either Miu or Saki since their relations.h.i.+p might progress further if he spent time with either of them.

As for Nana and s.h.i.+na, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o didn't need to worry too much, considering s.h.i.+na lived with him. As for Nana, he would go out with her tomorrow to search for an apartment for her to live in alone.

"No problem." Yukinos.h.i.+ta sat down on her seat again and picked up her book to read.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at Yukinos.h.i.+ta and asked, "So is there something that we'll do today?"

"Nothing."

"....Nothing?"

"Yes. There's nothing." Yukinos.h.i.+ta didn't lift her head and kept reading as she answered s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's question. "As long as there isn't any request, then we have nothing to do."

Hearing Yukinos.h.i.+ta's answer, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o felt that it was better to skip the clubroom today.

"However, I won't let you skip the club," Yukinos.h.i.+ta said.

"Why?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked.

"Because this is my order as the leader of this club," Yukinos.h.i.+ta said while looking straight at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's eyes.

"....." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at Yukinos.h.i.+ta and asked, "Senpai, can I ask you a question?"

"What?" Yukinos.h.i.+ta drank the tea that she had just brewed slowly, but suddenly...

"Do you like me so much?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked.

"Cough!" Yukinos.h.i.+ta suddenly coughed the tea that she had just drunk.

"Senpai, are you alright?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o quickly patted Yukinos.h.i.+ta's back gently so she would feel better.

Yukinos.h.i.+ta coughed several times, then looked at him with a grudge and hint of blush on her cheeks. "Oga-kun, has someone told you that you're so narcissistic?"

"No, this is the first time I've heard of it, but you're so persistent at me, so I can't help but misunderstand your feelings toward me," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said calmly. "Still, could it be that you were confessing to me just now? I'm sorry it won't work out. You're all beautiful legs and ---"

"Oga-kun."

Hearing Yukinos.h.i.+ta's icy voice, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o stopped and asked, "What's wrong, Yukinos.h.i.+ta-senpai?"

"Shut up."

"Yes."

"....."

Yukinos.h.i.+ta pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Oga-kun, can I ask you a question?" She waited for a while, but she didn't hear her response. "Why didn't you say anything?" She looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o with a confused expression.

"Didn't you tell me to shut up before?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked.

"..." Yukinos.h.i.+ta kept staring at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o, and if a stare could kill someone, then it was her stare at this moment. "You can talk now."

"Do you want to ask me something again, Senpai?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked.

"You like my legs, right?" Yukinos.h.i.+ta asked while staring at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o.

"...Why do you think so?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's expression was almost broken at that moment.

"Oh, nothing." Shaking her head gently, Yukinos.h.i.+ta sipped her tea slowly, then said, "It's just, you have glanced at my legs four times earlier."

"......"

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o knew that girls had always been sensitive toward a gaze, but he didn't expect that they would be so sensitive that Yukinos.h.i.+ta noticed his secret gaze.

"You have also said my legs are beautiful too, right?" Yukinos.h.i.+ta somehow showed a proud expression as if she had won.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o felt that he was a criminal that had been caught red-handed by the police. He wasn't sure what to say in this situation, and he racked his brain so hard. Still, he wondered why he told her that her legs were beautiful. Luckily, he was saved by his luck.

The door was opened, and a voice was heard.

"Yukinos.h.i.+ta, is Oga-kun here?"

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Yukinos.h.i.+ta saw Hiratsuka appear in the clubroom of the Service Club.

"I'm here, Sensei." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at his savior with a smile, but Yukinos.h.i.+ta had an unpleasant expression.

Hiratsuka wanted to say something, but she was stunned when she saw s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's smile, and somehow she also recalled when she saw him half-naked when she stayed on the Sakurasou before.

"Sensei, I've told you to knock before you enter, right?" Yukinos.h.i.+ta said with a sigh.

"Sorry, sorry." Hiratsuka apologized in a perfunctory manner and looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o. "I'd thought that you would skip the club."

"If I skip, what will you do?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked curiously.

"Well, I'll drag you here," Hiratsuka said simply.

"...." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at Hiratsuka and asked, "Hiratsuka-sensei, you know, I'm not really a problem student, and even though I don't mind joining this club, you should also know that I have a lot of important things to do, right?"

'Important to do?' Yukinos.h.i.+ta looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o curiously.

Hiratsuka dragged a chair to the side and put it right in front of s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's desk, facing right in front of him. "Well, Oga-kun, I know that you're quite busy, but you should know that you're a student now. Even though I know that what you do is important for your future, you have only three years of high school. Even though high school isn't all of your life, there's something that you can only do at a school."

"So you think it is wrong to work hard toward a future, Sensei?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked.

"I don't think that it is wrong. Instead, I think that it is admirable, but I think that you should have fun too." Hiratsuka looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's handsome face and said, "Do you want to become a boring adult that only knows how to work? After all, you have come so far from Kyoto to Tokyo, right?"

"Well, I come from Kyoto to Tokyo, so it'll be easier to manage most of my business. As for my life, you don't need to worry since I work hard, and I also play hard too, Sensei," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said calmly. "Still, isn't it better for me to work hard, Sensei?"

"Why?" Hiratsuka was confused by s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's answer.

"That way, I can marry a certain teacher when I graduate shortly from high school," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said with a gentle smile.

"..."

"The heck, are you trying to seduce your teacher for, little b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Hiratsuka was mad, trying to hide her embarra.s.sment.

"...." Yukinos.h.i.+ta.

"My bad, my bad, I was just kidding," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o apologized with a smile. "Still, with that said, I'm happy that you're worried about me, but Sensei, you should also understand my position too. There should be a day that I can't come to the school because of some business, but it is inevitable. After all, my energy is limited and I'm only one person. However, as you have said before, I have only three years of high school, and even though school isn't all about my life, there are things that I can only do in high school. While I work hard for my future, I won't forget to have fun while I'm a high school student."

"It's good that you understand." Hiratsuka was still blus.h.i.+ng, then she coughed and said, "Well, well, since you understand, I'll go out now. If you have trouble, then you can come to me."

"Oh? Can I come to you from now on, Sensei?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked with a hint of interest.

Hiratsuka somehow felt that s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's words were quite misleading, and she also felt that Yukinos.h.i.+ta's stares started to hurt her. "Isn't that obvious? I'm a guidance counselor at this school. Anyway, I'll have to go now. Also, don't cause trouble!" She then ran as fast as possible, escaping since she was afraid that s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o might seduce her.

"..."

Looking at Hiratsuka, who was running away, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o turned his head toward Yukinos.h.i.+ta, who kept staring at him with complex emotion. If he had to describe her expression with 10 points, then it would be 3 points sadness, 3 points confusion, 3 points discomfort, and 1 point curiosity.

"Oga-kun, I'm not impressed that you try to seduce your teacher while you have a girlfriend," Yukinos.h.i.+ta said coldly. Still, she also felt uncomfortable since she didn't know anything about him.

"I was joking before, and do you think that Hiratsuka-sensei will take my words seriously? We're a teacher and a student, you know?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said.

Yukinos.h.i.+ta only realized the difference of status between s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Hiratsuka, and she wasn't sure why. She felt relieved at that moment. "Still, what was that about?" She didn't really want to talk about the relations.h.i.+p between s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Hiratsuka since it made her uncomfortable, but there was something that she wanted to ask him.

"Well, I don't mind telling you, but don't tell someone, alright?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said. He knew that Yukinos.h.i.+ta didn't have a friend, and it was impossible for her to tell someone about his matter, but even so, he still said those words.

"You don't need to worry," Yukinos.h.i.+ta said calmly, closed her book, and looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o curiously.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o also didn't mind and told her what he was doing, but he didn't tell her the truth and only told her that he was helping a family business in Tokyo and Hiratsuka was worried about him who might be busy with his family business.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o didn't really like to show off, and he also felt that it wasn't necessary. Also, instead of owning a business on his own, it was more believable to tell her that he was helping a family business and as expected, she believed his words so easily.

"I see..." Yukinos.h.i.+ta nodded and didn't expect that s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o would be so busy. Still, it wasn't uncommon to see children from a big family manage a family business, but she was quite amazed by s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o since even though he was younger than her, he had already been entrusted to manage the family business.

"Now I understand why it seems that you seem reluctant to come to the clubroom. You don't like to waste your time, right?" Strangely, Yukinos.h.i.+ta felt uncomfortable right now, even though she didn't understand the reason. She knew that it was better for him not to come to this clubroom, and she also shouldn't force him to come, considering how busy he was, but she just didn't want to say that he shouldn't come and quit the club.

"Senpai, I don't think that it is a waste of time to come to the Service Club even if we don't have anything to do," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said.

"Oh? Why?" Yukinos.h.i.+ta looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o curiously and felt a bit stupid, wondering the reason why he decided to come.

"Even if we have nothing to do, I can stare at your legs, right?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said with a smile.

"...." Yukinos.h.i.+ta.

"Sorry, I was joking. You didn't need to look at me with that cold expression, right? Senpai, I was joking so, please don't call the police!"

Yukinos.h.i.+ta stopped the movement on her hand and looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o helplessly. Still, inwardly, she wanted to laugh and said, "Still, if you're busy, then you don't need to force to come, but tell me beforehand first, alright?"

"Sure." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o nodded. "Still, if that's the case, our chances of the meeting will decrease, right?"

"What? Could it be that you were confessing to me just now? I'm sorry it won't work out," Yukinos.h.i.+ta said cheerfully.

"........"

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o rubbed his temple and asked, "Senpai, can I ask a request? Wait a moment! I'm not going to make a perverted request!"

"What is the request?" Yukinoshta asked as she stopped her movement on her phone.

"So, is it possible for a member to make a request?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked.

"It's possible." Yukinos.h.i.+ta nodded and put down her phone. "So, what do you want to ask?"

"Well, I haven't explored the school that much, and there are a lot of places that I don't know. Can you show me around?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked.

"Why not?" Yukinos.h.i.+ta nodded, but then the door was knocked on again, and the door was opened.

"Yukinon, Oga-kun, are you here?"

When s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Yukinos.h.i.+ta were about to go out, they saw Momo enter the clubroom together with a girl.

"Kas.h.i.+wabara-san, can you stop calling me Yukinon?" Yukinos.h.i.+ta sighed.

"Eh? Why? Isn't it cute?" Momo asked with a smile.

Yukinos.h.i.+ta looked at the girl beside Momo, but she didn't know who the other girl was. However, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o was surprised to see Rui was there.

"Rui-nee?"

"s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o-kun?"

"........" Momo and Yukinos.h.i.+ta looked at the two of them and wondered how the two of them knew each other?
