Chapter 394: Big sister 1
After they talked a bit, they ended their club, and Hikigaya walked back first.
"See you later, Senpai."
"...Oh."
Hikigaya let out a sigh as he walked out, wondering whether he had entered Shishio"s trap or something.
Shishio then looked at Yukinos.h.i.ta, who was sitting next to him.
Yukinos.h.i.ta also prepared to go back, but she felt the gaze of the person next to her. She waited for him to say something, but he didn"t say anything. Finally, she let out a sigh and said, "If you have something to say, why don"t you talk?"
"Can we go back together, Senpai?"
"...What"s about your girlfriend?"
"They should be going out together to try a new ice cream store in the neighborhood."
Shishio had told his girlfriends that he would stay in the Service Club, so they left him and ate ice cream together. While he was speechless about how heartless they were, he also couldn"t blame them since he spent his time with another girl right now.
As for Hiratsuka, Shishio didn"t need to worry about her since she had returned to the teacher"s room, considering she was a.s.sured of his job.
However, Shishio felt strange since when his relationship with Hiratsuka had been established, he would go out with another girl who wasn"t even his girlfriend.
"If I were them, I"d break up with you since you dare to invite a girl who isn"t his girlfriend to go home together," Yukinos.h.i.ta said with a snort.
"...."
Shishio knew that this girl was angry, but if he asked directly with a question, "are you angry?" without a doubt, this girl would be even angrier.
"So, will you go home with me?" Shishio ignored Yukinos.h.i.ta"s statement and asked again.
"...Okay." Yukinos.h.i.ta pouted as she looked away.
"You"re so cute, Senpai." Shishio smiled as he held Yukinos.h.i.ta"s hand naturally.
"...Why are you holding my hand?"
"Isn"t it fine? It"s not our first time anyway. Don"t you remember, you held my hand so tight at that time?"
"Th-That was...!"
"If you don"t want to, you can pull my hand away."
Shishio didn"t hold Yukinos.h.i.ta"s hand tightly. Instead, it was loose, and if she wanted to, she could pull them apart.
"....."
Yukinos.h.i.ta looked at Shishio and thought that this guy was really unfair. She let out a sigh and said, "If there"s someone, I"ll pull them apart."
"So, is it alright if no one sees us?"
"...."
Shishio"s hand was big, and there was a big difference between their hands.
While Yukinos.h.i.ta knew that this guy was a sc.u.mbag, his hand was comfortable and dependable that she just couldn"t escape from it.
On the other hand, Yukinos.h.i.ta"s hand was slender and small. It was cold and soft. It was so nice being held.
"...Just what do you want to say?" Yukinos.h.i.ta ignored Shishio"s question and asked. Her long eyelashes fluttered as her blue-colored eyes stared into him.
"First, I have to say sorry before since my words might upset you."
"...You made me into a bad guy." Yukinos.h.i.ta felt uncomfortable when she heard Shishio"s words, who told her that she was wrong. However, when she listened to his explanation, she also knew it was wrong. While her views didn"t change, the fact that she forced a stranger that she didn"t know to change was so rude.
However, as Shishio said before, Hikigaya"s aura emitted and told everyone that he was a weak character that even a grade-schooler could bully him.
It wasn"t surprising for Yukinos.h.i.ta to be rude, or it might be because that"s how she was.
"That"s why, my bad, I"ll treat you later."
"...I"m not easy enough to forgive you with just this."
"It"s so troublesome."
"Hey!"
Yukinos.h.i.ta fumed as she stubbornly stared at Shishio.
"Sorry, sorry."
"Hmph!"
"Say, your personality is also as troublesome as Hikigaya-senpai. If someone tells you to change, will you change it?" Shishio asked.
"I will." Yukinos.h.i.ta nodded and said, "If this change can bring the better me, I"ll change." There was no hesitation in her eyes as she gave him an answer.
Shishio smiled and said, "And, this is why you"re so charming, Senpai. You can change, so you can become even better. This is the part that I like about you."
"...." Yukinos.h.i.ta was stunned and blushed instantly.
They were talking about something different, but how did this guy suddenly flirt with her?
Yukinos.h.i.ta felt that this guy was dangerous, but frankly, she didn"t hate it. She lowered her head, trying to hide her blush, then asked, "Let"s talk about that guy again." She didn"t want him to see her blushing since she was afraid that she might be teased to death.
"Well, before I answer, can I ask you a question, Senpai?"
"What"s wrong?"
"Do you know Hikigaya-senpai?" Shishio asked, wondering whether Yukinos.h.i.ta knew Hikigaya.
Hearing this question, Yukinos.h.i.ta only shook her head firmly. "No, I don"t know him."
"...."
Shishio felt strange, but he didn"t think too much since this matter had nothing to do with him.
"What"s wrong?"
"Nothing." Shishio shook his head and said, "If I don"t meet him in the clubroom, I might not know him either."
"...That"s true."
Hikigaya"s sense of existence was too dull.
Shishio could even tell that Hikigaya might not be remembered in his cla.s.s.
While some people were confused about how that happened, some people could understand Hikigaya"s situation.
However, it was normal since everyone had their own problems, and each of them was different.
"So, what should we do to change him?"
While Shishio didn"t say anything about changing Hikigaya, Yukinos.h.i.ta knew that he was talking in round away about by helping him to achieve his goal. "Are you serious about that girlfriend thing?"
"I"m serious." Shishio nodded and said, "While it might seem doubtful, love is something that can solve anything."
"..." Yukinos.h.i.ta.
"You don"t believe me?" Shishio looked at Yukinos.h.i.ta with a sigh and said, "I mean, aren"t you the best example?"
"Me?" Yukinos.h.i.ta was dumbfounded, but then she blushed before her face turned cold and cruelly said, "Aren"t you too narcissistic, Shishio-kun? Since when have I fallen for you?"
"...I never said that you fell for me, right? Why do you jump to such a conclusion?" Shishio was speechless.
"...."
Yukinos.h.i.ta"s face turned burning red as she looked away. "Th-Then don"t say something that will cause a misunderstanding!"
"Yes, yes, sorry."
"..." Yukinos.h.i.ta stared at Shishio and pouted. If possible, she wanted to tease him back and show him frustration, but this guy was too tough, and her experience in that area was simply nill, which made her sigh somehow.
"I mean, if it was before, would you show such an expression?" Shishio said as he showed Yukinos.h.i.ta"s current expression through his camera.
"...When did you take it?" Yukinos.h.i.ta quickly stole Shishio"s camera and looked at her picture. While her expression was quite funny, she could tell that she was so cute in this photo. However, she knew that she usually had this frown and cold expression on her face, so when Shishio reminded her, it surprised her.
"Have I changed?" Yukinos.h.i.ta wasn"t sure, but one thing was for sure, she knew who had brought this change to her.
"My plan for Hikigaya-senpai is a long-term plan. It can"t be done in an instant. Let him stay with us for a while, so he can slowly change on his own."
Hikigaya"s existence and personality had been ingrained into his entire being for so many years, and it was impossible for one to change it instantly.
If there was something that could change that guy, it would probably be love.
"Okay." Yukinos.h.i.ta nodded, then asked, "But are you sure that you"re going to get him a girlfriend? It isn"t an easy job, right?"
"It isn"t impossible. It might be hard, but definitely isn"t impossible."
"Well, tell me if you need my help."
"Okay." Shishio nodded and asked, "I"ll pick you up later after I have changed my clothes." They had reached the end of the special building, and once they walked out from it, they would be seen as a couple if they continued to hold each other"s hands.
"Okay, I"ll wait for you at my apartment." Yukinos.h.i.ta nodded, then asked, "It"s Thai food, right?"
"Yeah." Shishio nodded. "Or do you want other types of foods?"
"No, it"s alright. I want to try it too."
"I"ll go back now. Wait for me at your house." Shishio let go of her hand and walked away.
"Okay."
Yukinos.h.i.ta looked at Shishio"s back, who walked away before she looked at her hand that had parted from his hand.
"I feel lonely somehow..."
Yukinos.h.i.ta suddenly realized what she was thinking, and her face turned bright red before she scolded Shishio for being a sc.u.mbag as she friskily returned to her apartment.
---
After Shishio parted from Yukinos.h.i.ta, he received a phone call from Shiina.
"What"s wrong, Mashiro?"
"Shishio, can I stay with Mai tonight?"
"...You"re going to stay with Mai"s apartment?"
"Um."
"Is Mai there?"
"I"m here. It"s okay, right?"
"I don"t mind. Just go and have fun, but why don"t you also call Roberta?"
"Roberta?" 2x
They thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay." 2x
They talked for a while about the ice cream that they tasted and bought while Shishio walked to his private parking place.
After they ended the call, Shishio called Nanami, who told him that she was at the voice actor school, and the lesson was about to start.
"I"m going to pick you up later."
"O-Okay..."
Shishio smiled and understood why this girl was nervous. However, he quickly reset his mind since he had arrived at his private parking place.
"Should I drive a car?"
Shishio thought for a moment and felt that it was better to ride a motorcycle since it was hard to find a parking s.p.a.ce in j.a.pan. He changed his clothes into a denim jacket, blue-grey t-shirt, skinny black jeans, and a pair of boots.
Then without hesitation, Shishio rode his motorcycle to Yukinos.h.i.ta"s apartment. He might have come early, but he felt that it was good since she might let him enter her apartment.
Shishio came early and called Yukinos.h.i.ta, but he felt something strange.
"Nee-san, what are you doing?!"
"Ah, are you Shishio-kun?"
"...Who are you?"
"My name is Yukinos.h.i.ta Haruno. I"m Yukino-chan"s little sister. Ah, you"re outside the apartment? Wait a moment. I"ll come down!"
"Nee-san!"
"...." Shishio.
"Shishio-kun, you need to run!" Yukinshiota shouted.
"Um, it might be too late since I see a group of people in black suits surrounding me."
"...Wait a moment, I"ll go down!"
Shishio looked at the group of men that had surrounded him while looking at him. He ignored them and just leaned on his motorcycle lazily, without taking off his helmet.
"..." The group of men.
While Shishio thought that Yukinos.h.i.ta"s family was wealthy, a young woman suddenly walked out of the apartment, and even though he didn"t know her, he could tell that she was Yukinos.h.i.ta"s big sister.
The young woman looked at Shishio, who was in his motorcycle with interest, seemingly unfazed while surrounded by many men.
"Are you Shishio Oga?"
"Nee-san!"
After the young woman, Yukinos.h.i.ta quickly came to Shishio and stood in front of him, protecting him from the young woman, and glared at the group of men, thinking they had bullied Shishio.
"..." The group of men.
Still, Shishio ignored the group of men and thought that each sibling had their different types of relationship, huh?
