Chapter 63 - I Don't Have A Boyfriend
After coming out of Sakurasou, the three of them walked together and Shiina was in the middle with both Shishio and Ritsu on either side.
Shiina's eyes were closed and she seemed to be very sleepy, walking feebly while being pulled by Ritsu.??
On the other hand, Ritsu had this helpless expression on her face, but in the end, she held Shiina's hand with her left hand and she wanted to use her other hand to read a book, but she was a bit troubled with Shiina.
"Senpai, do you want me to hold Shiina? You can read your book that way," Shishio said since he could tell that Ritsu wanted to read her book at this moment.
Ritsu was tempted, but when she thought about how Shishio would hold Shiina's hand along the way, she felt quite uncomfortable. She shook her head and said, "It's alright, I can read it when I reach the school later."
"...."
Shishio was a bit surprised by Ritsu's answer since he knew very well how this girl couldn't even get away from a book. He looked at Ritsu's condition and he could tell that she was a bit of a mess, but since she was a beauty, there was no problem.
"Senpai, how is Shiina in the morning?"
Shishio knew that Shiina was similar to a toddler and he might remember how Shiina was in the story, but he was wondering whether Shiina was really that troublesome in real life.
Hearing Shishio's question, Ritsu couldn't help but wonder why she was so impulsive and decided to take care of Shiina, even though she remembered Chihiro's words clearly last night.
Although, it was a bit hard to imagine, when Ritsu went to wake Shiina in the morning, the moment she opened the door, she almost wanted to call the police since she thought a thief had come, but no one could blame her though since the whole room was a mess and covered with clothes.
Ritsu couldn't find Shiina when she entered Shiina's room and it was after a while that she found her sleeping under a pile of clothes and Shiina was naked!
When Ritsu thought Shiina was naked during her sleep, she felt glad that she decided to take care of Shiina by herself, and if it was Shishio, who took care of Shiina...
After such a morning, Ritsu quickly dressed Shiina, but when she took her to the bath, she was fighting against the water and everything was in a mess again, even though she was only trying to brush Shiina's teeth, however, because of that, Shiina was wet from head to toe, so she had to change Shiina's clothes again.
Then after everything was ready, Ritsu walked out together with Shiina and met Shishio who walked out of the dining room. She thought that she might be late since she also needed to prepare breakfast. Fortunately, Shishio prepared them an onigiri and it was very delicious which made her very glad that he was living in Sakurasou.
Ritsu looked at Shishio and didn't understand the reason why she decided to replace him to take care of Shiina, but when she thought about his smiling face that he showed her on the riverbank that day, and then when she thought if Shishio took care of Shiina, she somehow felt irritable and strangely enough, she didn't want both of them to become close to each other.
Ritsu might not say it, but she was also quite jealous when Shiina and Shishio called each other by their first names, but since they were relatives, she understood why they called each other by their first name and their relationship might seem close.
However, even though they were relatives, they weren't close relatives and they could still marry each other, right?
Ritsu didn't understand this feeling, or rather, she decided not to think about it, shook her head, and gave up understanding this feeling.
When Ritsu was worrying about her feelings, Shishio thought that Ritsu was really troubled by Shiina since her expression changed from time to time which made him worry whether taking care of Shiina was really that stressful.
Shishio thought for a while and suddenly remembered something.
"Senpai."
"Hmm?"
"Here's pocket money from Chihiro-nee, you can use it for Shiina," Shishio said. In truth, it was his money, but when he thought that Shiina had zero ability at taking care of herself, he had a feeling that this girl might escape somewhere and eat something without paying.
If it was him, then it was all good since he didn't care much about a small amount of money and both of them were relatives, but Ritsu was different since she had volunteered so it would be too rude if she also needed to use her own money to take care of Shiina, right?
Shishio then thought that this irresponsibility trait of Chihiro might be one of the reasons why she hadn't married, not that he was going to say it out loud though.
"Um." Ritsu nodded and accepted the money, thinking that Shiina might come to her during school and thought that this girl might not be able to buy the lunch by herself.
"Still, I thought that you were going to reject me when I invited you to go to the school together, Senpai," Shishio said. When he thought about it calmly, he felt that he might be a bit too rash since he knew that high school loved to create rumors and talk some nonsense, so he was sure that when the three of them walked together some boring students might talk about them. He didn't care about himself, but it was different from both Shiina and Ritsu, though, if it really happened, he was going to teach a lesson to the person who promoted the rumor.
However, Shishio might think too much since he didn't think that the high school students would be so boring, right? And unlike some boring and ordinary protagonists in the story, if those protagonists were surrounded by a beautiful girl, then there might be a talk.
However, his specs were so high that some people could only look up at him. His words might sound arrogant, but that was the truth since if there was a hierarchy at the school, he was sure that he was in the top position.
"Why do you think so?" Ritsu asked.
"I mean, aren't you afraid that your boyfriend might misunderstand you're coming to the school with me?" Shishio asked.
Shiina opened her eyes slightly when she heard Shishio's words and looked in Ritsu's direction curiously.
Ritsu was surprised, but her reaction was very fast, quickly shook her head, and hurriedly said, "I don't have a boyfriend." She wasn't sure why, but she didn't want to be misunderstood by him.
Looking at Ritsu's reaction, Shishio felt that this girl was quite cute and he couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Really? Then I guess the students at the school are blind since they can ignore someone as beautiful as Senpai," Shishio said while looking at Ritsu, but he didn't expect that she would react so much.
Ritsu was stunned, then her face gradually turned red and she let out a cute voice. "Wh - What are you talking about?!"
Shishio nodded and seemed satisfied with Ritsu's reaction, somehow it was fun to see her like this, but he also knew that her face was also quite cute, especially when she read a book, she would show a very lively expression, but when he observed her expression, his sleeve was tucked.
"Shishio, Shishio."
"What's wrong, Mashiro?" Shishio looked at Shiina curiously.
"I don't have a boyfriend," Shiina said with a monotone voice.
"..."
Shishio and Ritsu weren't sure what to say for a moment, especially Ritsu since she quickly recovered when she heard Shiina's words.
"I don't have a boyfriend," Shiina said once again.
"...."
Shishio thought for a while and suddenly got an idea why this girl suddenly told him that she didn't have a boyfriend. He hesitated for a bit, but when he saw Shiina's expression, he directly said, "Then I guess, the guys in the UK don't have eyes since they can ignore someone as cute as you?" Unlike Ritsu, there was a question mark at the end of his words, however, Shiina seemed very pleased with his answer. He let out a sigh of relief since it seemed that he was right and he also understood that even though Shiina might be a bit unique, Shiina was also a girl.
"...."
Ritsu raised her eyebrow and looked at Shishio, but then, she quickly shook her head since she didn't think that this guy would have a girlfriend after the first day he was at school, right?
'But...'
Ritsu looked at Shishio and she had to admit that Shishio might have an ability to become like Mitaka, or rather he might become even scarier than Mitaka.
"By the way, Oga-kun."
"What's wrong, Senpai?"
"Don't be like Mitaka-senpai, alright?" Ritsu stared at Shishio with a serious expression.
"....."
Shishio stopped his movement for a bit before he followed them, matching his steps with them once again, and said, "I won't." It might be for a moment, but he could see a smile on Ritsu's face, but he was wondering why his words seemed to not have any credibility on it?
'Was it my imagination?'
Shishio didn't think too much, but in the end, the three of them didn't talk much and walked together to the school, enjoying the morning together, and whether he was being stared enviously at by a group of guys for walking with two beautiful girls, he didn't care or rather no one said anything since it was one of the perks of having a handsome face, but the question that was asked by Ritsu suddenly appear on his mind once again.
'Will I become like Mitaka-senpai?'
Shishio snorted and shook his head, even if he became a scumbag in the future, he wouldn't become someone like Mitaka who didn't dare to face his own feelings and caused their loved one to suffer because of indecisiveness.
Shishio continued with his steps, but it might be his imagination that his steps seemed to be lighter than before, but anyway, he felt pretty good today.
