Chapter 155: Morning is a good thing, right?
Shishio and Roberta had a habit of waking up early in the morning, so they weren"t that surprised when they woke up at the same time. Still, he was so embarra.s.sed when his morning wood was being seen by Roberta, but when he thought that she had seen him naked, he felt that he really didn"t lose anything, or rather, should it be a reward since he was being seen naked by a beautiful woman?
Shishio wasn"t sure, but he wasn"t an exhibitionist, after all, so he didn"t feel happy at all.
Shishio was about to prepare his morning workout as usual, and Roberta also prepared herself. After all, there was no way for her to sleep when her master had woken up, right?
"Roberta, do you want me to help you braid your hair?" Shishio asked.
Roberta looked at Shishio for a while and said, "I think that isn"t necessary." Even though, in truth, she really wanted her hair to be taken care of by him.
"You don"t need to get embarra.s.sed, don"t worry, I"m very good at taking care of hair," Shishio said and moved behind Roberta to braid her hair.
"Well..." Roberta was helpless, but she felt a warmth inside.
"Now that you mention it, why do you braid your hair?" Shishio asked.
"It"s easier to fight this way," Roberta said.
"....." Shishio.
With his meticulous hands and great skill, Shishio braided Roberta"s hair easily, but then suddenly, his door was knocked on.
"Shishio, Roberta-san, have you woken up? If so, then you should get up quickly since I"ll show Roberta her room," Chihiro said from behind the door.
Shishio stood up and patted Roberta"s shoulder. "Well, you don"t need to worry too much about me, but please take care of Mashiro since she doesn"t have the ability to take care of herself."
"Yes." Roberta nodded.
Shishio opened the door, and he saw Chihiro outside the room.
"Why did you lock your room?" Chihiro asked with a frown, wondering what they were doing inside. After all, the door was locked.
"Isn"t it normal to lock it?" Shishio asked with a strange expression.
"Well, whatever." Chihiro shook her head then looked at Roberta. "Are you ready, Roberta-san?"
"Yes." Roberta nodded and walked toward her suitcase.
"Then I"ll go out and work out first," Shishio said.
"Well, don"t come back too late," Chihiro said with a yawn since she had woken up so early in the morning.
Waving his hand, Shishio left and started his morning workout by running around the neighborhood.

Shishio started to run and checked the various rewards that he had accepted last night. After all, he was too lazy to check it before, so this time. There were four rewards that he had received last night, which were "Driving Mastery," "Tailor Mastery," "Danger Intuition," and "Gunmanship Mastery."
Shishio had to admit that each of those rewards was amazing, and then he decided to check the "Tailor Mastery."
"Tailor Mastery" was just like that. It gave him the skill to create any clothes as long as he wanted.
Shishio thought about his uniform and thought that he should modify it. After all, even though his uniform was quite good, it lacked something, especially the pants. He wanted his school pants slimmer so they would show his legs perfectly, and he also thought to change the material of his pants so they would be cooler and better.
Shishio thought that it might be good to buy a sewing machine since that way, he could create any clothes that he wanted. After all, the clothes in 2005 didn"t fit with his style.
After he had enough, Shishio decided to check "Driving Mastery," and he had to admit that this skill was amazing. With "Driving Mastery," he could operate a variety of different vehicles from cars, motorcycles, tanks, walkers, hovercraft, robotic suits, aircraft, locomotives, rockets, s.p.a.cecraft, horses, women, etc. with ease. As long as he rode on something, he could drive it very well. He wondered whether he should visit Mount Akagi in the future and then have a match with AE86, but then he laughed since he felt that it was useless. It wasn"t that he thought that he would lose against AE86, but he felt that he would win easily against him, after all, he had a lot of cars with the best machines out there in his parking s.p.a.ce, and even though the driver of AE86 had great skill, in the end, he was driving an old car.
Shishio had a good car, "Enhanced Vision," and a G.o.d-like skill. Combined with the three of them, the driver of AE86 would be left out without the dust.
Shishio could only sigh and think that the power of money was great, after all.
Shishio then checked the other rewards that he had received from Roberta. After his meeting with Roberta, he received three rewards from her, which made him a bit dumbfounded since she might be the one who gave him the most rewards besides Tachibana Rui, who had stolen his first time.
With all of that, Shishio didn"t waste his time and checked his "Gunmanship Mastery" that he had received from Roberta last night.
With "Gunmanship Mastery," Shishio was able to operate all variations of guns. He could create guns as well as repair them. He also had expert knowledge of guns and handling them, but it wasn"t all since with this skill, his accuracy also increased, and this skill was very suitable for his "Enhanced Vision."
Shishio believed that he could headshot someone from a 10 km distance if he had a sniper in his hands.
Shishio had to admit that he was satisfied with his skill, so then he checked the last skill, which was a very great reward, and that reward was "Danger Intuition."
Shishio had to admit that "Danger Intuition" was a life-saving ability. With this ability, he sensed nearing danger, acute danger, potential immediate danger, or impending danger and sensed unwanted or hectic threats to their well-being and evaded it.
Shishi believed that he wouldn"t encounter any danger so easily. Still, he needed to be careful, right?
Shishio wasn"t sure what kind of ability it was, but he hadn"t been in danger, after all, so he couldn"t check what kind of ability would work, but he could mostly guess how it works.
Upon checking all of his rewards, Shishio continued to run. He ran so fast, ignoring everything, and embraced the pain that he felt on his body. He had to admit that the more he ran, the more he forgot his worry, he felt so free, and his mind was so sharp at that moment, but even so, when he saw a beautiful housewife, he didn"t forget to greet them since he was a gentleman, right?
---
"I"m back."
Shishio entered Sakurasou with his drenched body, he had sweated a lot from his running, but he felt that he didn"t have enough of running, even though he had run 10 km around the neighborhood. He then walked to the kitchen to drink water. After all, he was quite thirsty. While he drank, he looked at the time and saw that it was still early in the morning, so the kitchen was fairly quiet.
Shishio then continued with his workout by doing a handstand push-up, dragon flag, and a squat. He did that for almost 15 minutes before he walked to the bathroom since he wanted to take a bath. Even though the people in this country didn"t have a habit of washing in the morning, there was no way he could go to school with a sweaty body, but before that, he didn"t forget to prepare the rice so he could eat after he had washed up his body.
Shishio took off his clothes and squeezed his clothes that were drenched with sweat in the courtyard. He swept back his hair and had to admit that short hair was better than long hair since it wasn"t hot, but then he shuddered since it was pretty cold, he didn"t wear his upper clothes after all.
Shishio was about to go to the bathroom, but then he noticed Hiratsuka, who had come out from Chihiro"s room. "Hirasuka-sensei, good morning." He greeted Hiratsuka with a smile.
"Ah!" Hiratsuka was startled, then turned her head and couldn"t help but suck a deep breath when she saw Shishio"s body. She had to admit that his muscle was perfect, and she subconsciously wanted to reach it, but she quickly stopped! "Go - Good morning, Oga-kun." While blushing, she kept glancing at Shishio"s body from time to time. "Wh - Why didn"t you wear clothes?!" Her face was red, and she felt that her body was so hot.
"Sorry, I just worked out earlier, by the way. Is your body alright?" Shishio asked worriedly.
"It"s alright. You can see that I"m very healthy now," Hiratsuka said while showing that she could move around easily.
"I see. I"m glad you"re alright," Shishio said with relief.
Hiratsuka was stunned when she saw Shishio, who showed such an expression. "Just - Just hurry up and go to the bathroom, or else, you"ll catch a cold."
"Hehe, you"re so cute, Hiratsuka-sensei," Shishio said with a smile when he saw her blushing.
"How can you say that to your teacher?!" Hiratsuka almost exploded since she couldn"t handle it anymore, she might have had a powerful attack, but her defense was zero, after all.
"Yes, yes, I"ll take a bath now," Shishio said with a smile and walked to the bathroom.
Hiratsuka looked at Shishio"s back and could still feel her heartbeat that moved so fast, but then she quickly shook her head and slapped her cheeks several times since their status made it impossible for them to be together, after all.
"Though, if I wait for three years, it is possible, right?"
When Hiratsuka thought about that possibility, her heartbeat started to beat very fast again this time.

Shishio was in the bathroom, washing his body easily, but then he heard a noise from the outside. He raised his eyebrow, but he didn"t move from his spot. Still, he was quite wary. After all, Shiina had entered the bathroom so suddenly last night.
Shishio heard the sound of a sigh from the outside. Hearing this voice, he knew very well who this person was. He then ignored it and continued to take a bath.
---
Sorata looked at his complexion in the mirror and couldn"t help but sigh. He felt that he couldn"t stay in this place any longer, especially when he thought everyone was better than him, except for Shiina. After all, he didn"t know that she was a world-famous painter.
In truth, Sorata wanted to talk with Shiina or even get close with her, but he didn"t have a chance, well, not that he didn"t have a chance. Still, he didn"t have courage, and he was indecisive, so when Shishio didn"t stay in Sakurasou for a night, he didn"t really talk with Shiina. During that time, all he did was play with his cats and make flyers so someone would take his cats and he could go back to the regular dorm.
Sorata then looked at the flyers in his hands and thought that he should search for all the owners of his cats so he could get out from this place as soon as possible, but then he thought about Shiina. He felt slightly unwilling deep inside. Unlike other girls he had seen in his life, he felt that she was so pure and wanted to know her better. If possible, he wanted their relationship to become even closer.
Sorata let out a sigh once again and noticed someone was taking a bath in the morning, but he didn"t care much. He looked at his ordinary face in the mirror and washed it with water, but the person who took a bath came out.
"Oh, Kanda-kun, good morning," Shishio said when he saw Sorata.
"Ah, good morning, Oga-kun." Sorata was stunned when he saw Shishio, especially when he saw his tall and well-built body, then looked at a huge bulge that was hidden under the white towel. He wasn"t sure why, but he felt very threatened at that moment and also inferior. It was so uncomfortable that he wanted to run away now.
Shishio noticed the flyers on Sorata"s side and asked, "What"s that, Kanda-kun?"
"Oh, it is a flyer that I have made so someone will adopt the cats that I have picked up," Kanda said with a forced smile.
"I see, then do you need my help?" Shishio asked.
"Eh? Really?" Kanda was surprised.
"Yes, I"ll help you distribute it," Shishio said simply.
"Then please!" Sorata then, without hesitation, gave some of the flyers to Shishio.
"Alright, I"ll let you know when someone wants to adopt it," Shishio said.
"Thank you, Oga-kun!" Sorata thanked Shishio without hesitation.
"Still, why do you want to give your cats? Isn"t the reason why you moved here is because of the cats?" Shishio asked with doubt.
Sorata showed an awkward expression and said, "I - I was forced at that time, but in truth, I want to return to regular dorm."
Shishio nodded and then patted Sorata"s shoulder. "Alright, I"ll help you. You don"t need to worry too much."
"Ye - Yeah..." Sorata nodded.
"I"ll take some of the flyers," Shishio said.
"Yes, please!" Sorata said while bowing his head subconsciously.
Shishio nodded and left, thinking that it was good that this guy would leave.
Sorata looked at Shisiho"s back, his expression became heavy, and a jealous feeling swirled around his stomach again. It had been a week since he stayed in Sakurasou. The more he stood next to Shishio, the more he felt inferior, which was why he hated it, he hated to stay in this place, and he hated to compare himself to Shishio, since the more he that, the more he felt that he was worthless. He knew that it was wrong, and Shishio wasn"t at fault, but he just couldn"t help it.
Sorata then stared at his face again in the mirror, and somehow he realized that there was a pimple on his cheek, but more than that, he realized that he became more ugly for some reason and how he hated to see his face in the mirror at that moment.
