Chapter 229: Sat.u.r.day date, do you want to follow them?
Sat.u.r.day.
The sound of chirping birds, the slightly warm sun, sunny weather, and the voices of the group of beautiful housewives. Meeting all of that during his workout session in the morning, Shishio returned to Sakurasou. He knew that it should be a perfect day for a date, but with his conversation with Saki last night, he felt quite pressured since he hadn"t finished his story.
Shishio knew that he was about to have a date with Shiina today, so he shouldn"t have a gloomy thought. Staring at his reflection in the mirror, he had to admit that he was very handsome, but enough of that.
Shishio took a bath as usual and walked out of the bathroom when he had finished. While walking, he dried his hair with a towel, but then he happened to meet Ritsu, who seemed to have just awakened from her sleep. He could see that she seemed half-asleep, which made him think that this girl was adorable. "Ritsu-senpai, good morning."
"Ah!" Ritsu was startled, especially when Shishio called her first name, but then she recalled that they started to call each other by their first name. She was a bit shy and also greeted him back. "Good morning, Shi - Shishio-kun..." It gave her a strange feeling when she called him by his first name, but she didn"t hate this feeling. "Did you just finish your workout?" She secretly stared at his body which was very fit, and somehow it made her face hot. Still, she couldn"t look away since it might be her instinct as a woman.
"Yes." Shishio nodded and was about to say something, but his name was called.
"Shishio."
Shishio and Ritsu turned, and they saw Shiina strode toward them.
"Good morning, Mashiro." Shishio looked at Shiina and said, "It"s rare for you to wake up in the morning."
"Um." Shiina nodded and said, "We"re going on a date, after all."
Shishio showed a soft expression and said, "Well, you should get prepared first. I also need to change my clothes too."
"Um." Shiina nodded without hesitation then strode to the bathroom area since she knew she needed to take a bath.
"Well, Senpai, I"ll go back to my room first." Shishio looked at Ritsu, whose expression was quite complex before he left.
"Ah, yes..." Ritsu nodded, staring at his back without looking away. She had to admit that she felt envious and quite jealous of Shiina since Shiina could go on a date with him. She didn"t know why she felt this feeling, even though she had made up her mind and knew that he had a girlfriend when she knew that he was going on a date with Shiina, she couldn"t help but think that she might have a chance too.
"Huh? What the heck are you thinking about!"
Ritsu"s face was so red, and she quickly ran toward the living room so no one would see her expression at this moment.

Wearing a black t-shirt and skinny jeans, Shishio took the flannel shirt from his wardrobe then placed it on his bed. He didn"t wear it immediately but sat on the chair, looking at his laptop"s display. He checked his work and project before he checked his story. He had written everything except for the last moment when the protagonist and the heroine were parted by the train.
Shishio wanted to finish it, but he hesitated whether he should give a sad ending or a happy ending.
"...."
Shishio tapped his table several times, and in the end, he let out a long sigh and closed his laptop. He took his backpack and put his laptop there. He also took the camera given by Yukinos.h.i.ta before, checking it for a moment before he put it on his backpack.
Shishio then took his flannel shirt and wore it directly, taking his backpack and walked to the dining room since he wanted to eat first.
---
When Shishio entered the dining room, there were a lot of people already. Unlike him, a student, Mayumi, and Chihiro were adults, and they needed to go on their job on Sat.u.r.day. Usually, they didn"t need to go to work on Sat.u.r.day, but Golden Week was nearby, which caused them to go to the office on Sat.u.r.day to finish some important tasks as soon as possible.
Shishio could also see Ritsu and Shiro-san, who were eating breakfast too. As for Sayaka, he wasn"t sure where she was, but she might be in her room at this moment. As for Sorata, even though he didn"t care much, he knew that Sorata was in his own room right now.
Looking at Shishio, who had dressed up, Mayumi, Chihiro, and Ritsu couldn"t look away and had to admit that this guy was very handsome, especially his style was different from his usual elite style. Right now, he gave off a regal aura and bad boy aura, which made them unable to look away from him, and at the same time, they were a bit jealous of Shiina, who could go on a date with him.
"Good morning," Shishio said.
"On Sat.u.r.day, I need to go to work, but you can go on a date freely..." Mayumi murmured and felt jealous.
"....." Shishio.
"Shishio, you should know that you"ll have an exam soon. Have you prepared?" Chihiro asked in a cornered way.
"You don"t need to worry, Chihiro-nee." Shishio put his bag on the side and said confidently, "I can easily get the 1st rank among the first graders in the entire country."
"....." Mayumi, Ritsu, and Shiro-san.
Chihiro nodded and decided to believe him since she knew that this guy had always brought a miracle with him. However, she was wondering whether he could bring her a miracle that could change their status. She didn"t want to be his aunt and just wanted to be a normal man and a normal woman. Still, even if miracles existed in this world, she knew that their status couldn"t change unless they were reincarnated in a different world.
Chihiro had made up her mind before, but when she saw him, she had to admit that her nephew was really handsome.
"Now that you mention it is your grade good, Oga-kun?" Shiro-san asked since he didn"t expect this guy was also smart at school.
"This guy has broken the record of the best grade on the entrance exam. Do you think his grade is bad?" Chihiro said.
Shiro-san was confused and asked, "Oga-kun, you can do everything, is there something that you can"t do?" Not only was Shishio good at studying, painting, writing, singing, cooking, martial art, but Shishio was also good at bondage, which made him wonder whether there was something that Shishio couldn"t do, but at the same time, he realized that, unlike all the geniuses that had lived on Sakurasou in the past, Shishio was an entirely different dimension.
" I"m not perfect. There"s still a lot of things that I can"t do." Shishio looked at Shiro-san and asked, "More importantly, Shiro-san, have you finished the test?" Shiro-san asked him to teach him bondage skills. He didn"t really mind, but he gave Shiro-san a test, and if Shiro-san could solve the test, he would teach him.
"Now, this is what I have been waiting for!" Shiro-san smiled brightly then showed the untied rope in his hands. "Ta-da!" He was a bit proud at the time and said, "I have spent several hours untying the rope. Now, you can teach me, right?"
Shishio looked for a moment and nodded. "I"ll teach you some tricks before I go out with Mashiro later."
"Yes!" Shiro-san was very happy at that moment.
"....." Chihiro, Ritsu, and Mayumi.
"Say, how did you learn that bondage skill?" Mayumi asked curiously.
"I learned it by chance in Kyoto," Shishio said in a perfunctory manner.
"Huh? Is there such a place in Kyoto?" Mayumi was confused.
"Kyoto is a city of art. It is the cultural capital of j.a.pan. Bondage is part of art, so isn"t it normal that it appears in Kyoto?" Shishio said naturally. His explanation was pure without any perversion and told everyone that bondage was part of art.
"That"s right. Bondage is an art." Shiro-san nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"..."
"Shishio."
Shiina and Roberta entered the dining room together.
Shishio turned and looked at Shiina, who was wearing a light pink dress, and had to admit that this girl was adorable. "You"re so cute today, Mashiro."
"Thank you." Shiina smiled.
"Breakfast is almost ready. Wait a moment," Shishio said.
"Um." Shiina nodded.
Mayumi raised her eyebrow and asked, "By the way, you two are going on a date, right? Where are you going?" She looked at Shiina and wondered where they were going to go on a date. She then smiled and asked, "Are you two going to the Love Hotel?" She was joking and didn"t think too much when she asked this question, but it made Chihiro annoyed.
"Mayumi, don"t tell such a dirty joke in the morning," Chihiro said with a frown.
"Sorry, sorry, but you"re going on a date, right? I am just curious," Mayumi said and thought that Chihiro was too uptight.
"Yes." Shiina nodded.
"....."
Shishio, who brought the breakfast, couldn"t help but ask, "We"re going to the Love Hotel?"
"Yes." Shiina nodded.
"......."
Not only Shishio was in silence, but everyone was also in silence.
Shishio could feel everyone staring at him, but he also understood their feelings. He looked at Shiina and asked, "Why do we need to go to the Love Hotel?"
"I want to see the material of my manga." Shiina"s answer was like a tape ca.s.sette that had been repeated several times. It seemed that she had practiced using this answer on several occasions, so she used it again without hesitation.
Shishio looked at Shiina for a moment and asked, "Besides the Love Hotel, is there a place that you want to go to?"
Shiina thought for a while before she looked at Shishio. "I will follow Shishio everywhere."
"...You mean, you"re going to leave everything to me?" Shishio asked.
"Um." Shiina nodded.
Shishio thought for a while and asked, "In truth, I"m not that familiar with Tokyo either since I haven"t been in this town for a long time, but if you ask me, how about we go to East Shinjuku?"
"East Shinjuku?" Shiina t.i.tled her head.
"Yes." Shishio nodded and said, "There should be a lot of interesting things there. What do you think?"
"Yes." Shiina nodded. "Let"s go there."
"Okay." Shishio nodded and asked, "Roberta, can you send us to East Shinjuku?"
"Yes, Shishio-sama." Roberta nodded without hesitation.
Then they continued to eat as usual, but...
"Wait, wait, are you really going to the Love Hotel later?" Chihiro asked.
"Um, is that not okay?" Shishio asked with a confused expression.
"..."
"Say, Shishio, have you been to a Love Hotel?" Chihiro asked as she rubbed her temple.
Shishio shook his head since he really had never come to the Love Hotel. Even in his previous life, if he wanted to do it with his girlfriend, he would go to a normal hotel. As for those short-term hotels, he had never gone there. But when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Shishio also knew that a Love Hotel was part of the culture of this country so he was going to learn this culture well.
"....."
Chihiro looked at Shishio and only remembered that this guy was a virgin. She let out a sigh and said, "Well, don"t stay out too late for your date."
"Yeah." 2x
Shishio and Shiina nodded simply.
"Wait! Wait! You two haven"t been there, right? How about you wait for me to go back from my work and go there together to the Love Hotel? I can guide you there," Mayumi said without hesitation.
"Mayumi..." Chihiro stared at Mayumi with disbelief.
"Come on, Chihiro. Think of it as a study tour, and rather than leaving the two alone, isn"t it better to have more people to enter the Love Hotel?" Mayumi said with her illogical reason, but strangely enough, Chihiro seemed to feel that there her reason seemed right. She then looked at Ritsu and asked, "Ricchan, how about joining the study tour to the Love Hotel? I"m sure that you might need it."
"...." Ritsu.
Shishio was speechless and ignored Mayumi. "Mashiro, how about we go now?"
"Um!" Shiina also agreed without hesitation.
"See you later, Senpai, Mayumi-san, Chihiro-nee, Shiro-san," Shishio said and left with Roberta and Shiina.
Shiina and Roberta also said goodbye to everyone before they left too.
With the three of them left, Ritsu became a bit restless.
As for Mayumi and Chihiro, the two of them weren"t that worried, but they had to admit that they felt quite jealous.
As for Shiro-san, he learned the new bondage technique that Shishio taught.
As Shishio, Shiina, and Roberta left, Misaki and Sorata also arrived.
"Shishio, I want to eat!" Misaki said cheerfully, but the dining room was fairly quiet since only Shiro-san and Ritsu were there. "Huh? Where"s Shishio, Ricchan?"
"He"s on a date with Mashiro," Ritsu said in a blank expression.
"What?!" Sorata, standing beside Misaki, was dumbfounded and asked hurriedly, "How can that be? Doesn"t he have a girlfriend already? How can he go on a date with other girls?" His face was pale and he was so panicked.
Ritsu and Misaki didn"t care much about Sorata"s reaction, but Shiro-san looked at Sorata thoughtfully, but Shiro-san didn"t say anything since youth was pretty much-complicated things.
Misaki also didn"t know why she felt strange when she heard that Shishio and Shiina were on a date, but she shook her head and asked, "Ritsu, do you know where they"re going on a date?"
Ritsu was confused, but she still answered, "They"re going to East Shinjuku if I"m not wrong."
"East Shinjuku, huh?" Misaki thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, let"s follow them!"
"Huh?" Ritsu was dumbfounded.
"Ricchan, let"s go! Let"s follow their date!" Misaki said without hesitation.
"Huh? No, we can"t do that, Misaki-senpai!" Ritsu quickly shook her head. Even though she felt eager to follow both Shishio and Shiina, she couldn"t follow them.
"It"s alright, it"s alright, you don"t need to follow them, you can just go to the bookstore to buy a book, and we just happen to meet them, right? Isn"t that a normal thing?" Misaki said with a smile.
"Bookstore... Meeting by chance..." Ritsu murmured, but then she stood up and said, "I want to buy a book. Can you accompany me, Senpai?"
"Of course!" Misaki said without hesitation.
Both Misaki and Ritsu quickly returned to their rooms, preparing to follow both Shishio and Shiina.
Sorata didn"t move from his spot, but he murmured the words that he had just heard. "East Shinjuku..."
Shiro-san looked at Sorata and asked, "Kanda-kun."
However, Sorata didn"t hear Shiro-san"s words and returned to his room again, changing his clothes since he needed to get ready to follow after them!
Looking at how the three of them, Shiro-san thought that youth was really troublesome, but at the same time, it was also interesting. He then stood up and said, "Should I go to East Shinjuku too?" He felt like a b.l.o.o.d.y relationship between youth would be interesting to watch, and it might be good to use it as material for his book.
With all of that, almost all the members of Sakurasou went to East Shinjuku to start their study tour to learn about what a guy and a girl would do on their date.
