Chapter 340: Unhappy Shishio
Nanami reluctantly parted her lips as she took a heavy breath. She panted as she rested her forehead against his chest. She could feel his hand stroking her hair with care. She knew that it might be a simple action, but it put a smile on her mouth.
"I"ll go now."
However, his following words caused Nanami to feel unhappy. She hugged his neck and kissed him again.
"This girl..."
Shishio thought that Nanami had become bolder, which made him speechless. He then taught her who the master was as she could only moan and leaned weakly on his chest. Still, this made his body burnt, and his hardened phallus was shown through his pants.
"Shi - Shishio-kun... your... your..." Nanami, of course, noticed the big bulge on his pants, and her face flushed in embarra.s.sment.
"It"s your fault, Nanami," Shishio said without hesitation.
"Wh --?!" Nanami was startled by his accusation.
"You"re so charming that I react this way," Shishio said as he caressed her cheek.
"Shi - Shishio-kun..." Nanami was so embarra.s.sed, but she was happy by his reaction.
"And since it is your fault... maybe you should be the one who takes the responsibility and take care of it?" Shishio asked in a whisper.
"I..."
The distance between the two was so close that Nanami could feel the warmth on his breath. His masculine and musky smell invaded her nose and caused her head to go blank. His powerful body wrapped around her body, making her hard to breathe, but she wanted him to hug her tighter, tighter, then...
Nanami"s head was full of imagination, but...
"Ouch!"
Nanami quickly covered her forehead with her hands.
"Is it noon yet you think something perverted?"
"....." Nanami stared at Shishio, speechless as if telling him who was the pervert here?
"I"ll go out now." Shishio kissed Nanami"s cheek as he patted her b.u.t.ts slightly before walking out.
Nanami didn"t say anything as she looked at his back and grumbled. She felt that Shishio was unfair, even though he had told her to choose whether she wanted to have a real relationship or play around, but if he kept doing this...
"Then... Then... I..."
However, Nanami also knew what Shishio"s wish was.
"...."
Nanami thought for a moment before she made up her mind.

Shishio walked downstairs, and he happened to meet Shiina. "Are you ready, Mashiro?"
"Um." Shiina nodded as she held her cute backpack on her back.
Shishio looked at Shiina, and his eyes brightened since she was so cute right now. She wore an oversized grey-colored knitted sweater on top of a white t-shirt with black leggings wrapped over her legs.
Shishio only realized that black leggings might be the greatest invention of humanity.
Still, Shishio realized that he might have influenced Shiina a lot.
If it was in the past, Shiina might not care about her appearance, and her clothes were all girly with either dress, frill, one-piece, or just a plain t-shirt, but after knowing him, she started to change.
Shiina knew that Shishio loved legs, which was why she often wore something that emphasized the shape of her legs.
Shishio somehow felt conflicted since he might have tainted Shiina.
"Let"s go, Shishio." Shiina smiled brightly as she linked his arm.
"..."
When they met for the first time, Shiina was full of confusion and worry about her future, but now, she could smile so brightly and warmly.
Shishio realized that the feeling that Shiina had given to him had always been different from other girls. While he knew that it was unfair to them, he knew that she had a special feeling in his heart. He removed her hand from his arm, then held her hand as they intertwined their fingers.
"Okay."
Shina smiled as she moved closer and tightened their fingers together.
Still, while Shishio did this, he knew that someone was looking at him, but he knew that sooner or later, his relationship with Shiina would be known.
"Should I move out?"
Such a thought suddenly crossed his mind before he threw it away and went out with Shiina to the cafe where her editor was waiting for them.
Ritsu, who just happened to walk out from the girls" area, saw Shishio and Shiina holding each other"s hands. While it might be true, their relationship was so close. She couldn"t help but feel that their relationship was too close for a mere distant family.
Ritsu suddenly recalled the conversation she had with Shishio when they walked to the school together for the first time.
"Don"t be like Mitaka-senpai, alright?"
Ritsu didn"t want to believe it, but when she thought about how close his relationship with other girls was.
"...."
"This... isn"t a problem that I should care about, right?"
Ritsu thought that this wasn"t the problem that she should think about. She should ignore this problem as she stayed in her own world, reading a book like usual, but strangely enough, she felt uncomfortable and...
"It"s hurt..."
Ritsu clutched the book tightly on her chest as she squatted down and closed her eyes, holding the tears that were about to come from her eyes. Finally, she took a deep breath and calmed down. Then he knew that she needed to ask him this question.
Shishio knew that another storm was about to brew, and he might not be able to escape from this storm.
---
Shishio rode his Vespa to the L"Amant cafe where Shiina"s editor told them to meet each other. Still, he realized the importance of GPS and couldn"t help but lament how life in 2005 was so inconvenient.
Shishio didn"t know much about Tokyo, and he also couldn"t use a GPS to go to the place that he wanted to go, so in the end, he brought a detailed map of Tokyo then remembered all the streets in Tokyo single night.
Shishio had "Enhanced Memory," and it was too wasteful if he didn"t use it for his benefit. Still, it was so weird of him to buy the detailed map of Tokyo.
If someone didn"t know what he was doing, then they might think of him, planning to buy the entire Tokyo.
Yes, not as a burglar or as a criminal, but as a businessman who wanted to buy land or buildings in Tokyo.
After all, Shishio was so handsome, so there was no way for him to be mistaken as a criminal.
"Hmm... it might be the reason why most of the masterminds of crime have a handsome face, huh?"
Shishio suddenly found a strange truth, but then he sighed since he was really free enough that his mind started to wander in a strange direction.
"Is it here, Shishio?"
Suddenly Shiina"s voice woke him up.
"Yes." Shishio nodded and looked in the direction of the L"Ament cafe. "This should be the cafe that your editor told you about."
"Hmm..." Shiina looked at the cafe curiously.
The cafe isn"t that big. Instead, it has a modest size.
However, Shishio knew that this was normal since the land price in Tokyo was high, so it was normal for a cafe or a store to be small unless they had the backing of a powerful company or got an inheritance from someone.
While it might be small outside, Shishio could tell that the cafe should be pretty s.p.a.cious inside.
The words of L"Amant are written in katakana with a bold red color at the store entrance.
The location of the cafe is located inside the nearby shopping district.
Shishio parked his motorcycle outside and entered the cafe together with Shiina.
The sound of bells was heard, and the voices of three people greeted them.
The three of them were one grown-up man, one young man, and one beautiful woman dressed in similar attire, showing a smile toward them. However, the three were quickly stunned as they gazed upon Shishio and Shiina.
"So handsome..." The plump young man muttered as he stared at Shishio, then when he looked at Shiina, he also couldn"t help but mutter. "So beautiful..." He then sighed and thought that the world was unfair.
Still, out of the three, someone reacted so strongly.
"Welcome, ~~! Is this your first time here? Ah, if you don"t know, how about sitting on the counter seat? By the way, our napolitan spaghetti is the best!"
The voice was full of feminity and coquettish sound.
Unfortunately, this voice didn"t come from a beautiful woman. Instead, it came from a grown-up muscular man.
"...." Shishio.
On the other hand, Shiina stared at this man curiously since it was her first time seeing such a creature.
The man had long curly black hair tied in a ponytail and a light-trimmed mustache. He wore a waiter-like uniform and gazed upon Shishio like a lion that had found his prey.
If it were normal people, they would be scared away by this man, but who would Shishio be?
"Please don"t look at me like that. It"s disturbing." Shishio tried to be polite, but he just couldn"t when he was being molested like this. His eyes were cold, and he just wanted to get away from this place.
"Ah~~! That gaze is so nice!" The man became even happier, and his gaze became feverish.
"...." Everyone.
Shishio was scared and wanted to walk out of the cafe, but Shiina stood up in front of him, which surprised him. "Mashiro?"
Shiina raised both of her hands and said, "Shishio is mine."
"Oh, my..." The man looked at Shiina and sighed disappointedly, then he smiled warmly and said, "I"m sorry for bothering your boyfriend. I didn"t realize that he had such a beautiful girlfriend beside him." He didn"t hesitate and apologized.
"It"s alright." Shiina nodded calmly and felt happy with this man"s praise.
"But I have been hurt by your boyfriend. Can I ask for compensation?" The man suddenly asked.
"Compensation?" Shiina t.i.tled her head.
"Yeah, if he kisses me on the cheek, then I"ll forgive him," the man said with a sweet smile.
Shiina wanted to say something, but Shishio rejected without mercy. "I refuse!" He then held Shiina"s hand and said, "Mashiro, let"s go back." He didn"t want to stay in this place any longer. While he didn"t care about the hobby of someone and could also respect their choice, it was a different matter when he was treated as a piece of delicious meat.
Still, Shishio didn"t expect the woman waitress to trigger his system.
Shishio had mixed feelings when he entered this cafe, but frankly, he was glad. However, he didn"t want to stay longer and wanted to return.
Still, Shishio was glad that the system had a trace of humanity since it didn"t trigger when the effeminate man suddenly approached him.
Shiina still wanted to ask this man since this was the unique creature she had never seen, but she could also see Shishio was so uncomfortable, so she nodded and excused herself, but...
"Shiina-san, I"m here!"
Shishio and Shiina turned their heads and saw a woman in her late 20s waving her hand toward them.
The woman"s appearance was above average. She had short curly hair that she tied with a ribbon-like headband.
However, Shishio didn"t have a good impression of this woman since he knew that when such a thing happened, she watched the scene before her with interest.
"This woman..."
"..."
"Shishio..." Shiina looked at Shishio and said, "That"s Ayano. She"s my editor."
Shishio took a deep breath and decided to forgive Ayano.
Still, without a doubt, Shishio was unhappy at that moment.
