Shishio was a bit dumbfounded when he heard Mitaka's voice. He then looked at Misaki for a moment before he walked to open the door, but Misaki quickly grasped his hand.
"What are you doing?!" Misaki seemed to be in a panic, asking this question in a low voice.
"I'm going to open the door," Shishio said calmly.
"...." Misaki.
Shishio looked at Misaki, who was stunned and was about to open the door, but he was quickly stopped by Misaki again.
"What if Jin misunderstands us?!" Misaki asked in a hurry and wondering whether this guy had ever thought about the consequences if Mitaka saw both of them.
"Misunderstand?" Shishio raised his eyebrow and asked, "What misunderstanding?"
"....." Misaki.
Misaki wasn't sure why, but she just didn't really want Mitaka to see her inside Shishio's room since she had a feeling that Mitaka was going to misunderstand her.
"Oga-kun?" Mitaka's voice was heard once again.
"Wait a minute, Senpai," Shishio said, then looked at Misaki. "Just stay on my bed. I will talk with him on the outside." He had enough of teasing her, but he knew that he couldn't tease her too much, and he also couldn't let Mitaka wait too long, right?
Misaki quickly nodded and quickly laid on Shishio's bed, covering her entire body with his blanket. She then poked her head out of the blanket and said again, "Don't tell Jin that I'm here, alright?"
"Oh." Shishio didn't say much and opened the door normally.
Misaki also quickly hid on his bed, covering her entire body with a blanket, hoping that Mitaka didn't see her. Still, at the same time, she was curious why Mitaka suddenly came to visit Shishio?
When Misaki hid, Shishio saw Mitaka was right outside of his room, and he came out normally before he closed the door of his room.
Mitaka raised his eyebrow before he asked with a playful smile. "Did you hide something, Oga-kun?"
Misaki, who heard Mitaka's question, felt that her heart stopped for a moment.
Shishio only raised his eyebrow then nodded. "Yes, I just watched porn before, but you came to disrupt me, Senpai."
"...." Misaki and Mitaka.
"So, is there something that you want to ask, Senpai?" Shishio asked.
Misaki didn't wait any longer, hugging the blanket, and walked slowly right near the door to hear their conversation.
Mitaka looked at Shishio's relaxed expression as if watching porn was something normal. Finally, he coughed awkwardly and said, "Sorry to bother you then."
Misaki, who heard their conversation, wanted to laugh at Shishio's excuse, but at the same time, she also felt guilty since she knew the reason why Shishio was lying was because of her.
"It's alright." Shishio nodded and wondered what this guy would do if Mitaka knew that Misaki was right inside at that moment. "So, is there something that I can help you with?"
"...."
Mitaka wanted to say something, but when Shishio's question fell, he couldn't say any words.
Shishio looked at Mitaka for a bit and didn't have any patience to talk with him. "If you have nothing, then I'll go back to my room, Senpai." He was about to turn and go back to his room, but...
"Wait, Oga-kun!" Mitaka quickly stopped Shishio.
"What's wrong?" Shishio looked at Mitaka and looked at this guy curiously.
Mitaka took a deep breath and asked, "Oga-kun, can you let me read your manuscript?"
"...."
Misaki, who heard Mitaka's words, couldn't help but frown. After all, she was wondering whether Mitaka was going to plagiarize Shishio's story, but such a thought was normal since Mitaka said that he was going to write a script for her anime, but he said that he hadn't finished her script. Even though she didn't want to be cruel, she also knew that Mitaka's ability at writing wasn't good, so she thought that Mitaka might try to plagiarize Shishio's story.
Shishio's story gave Misaki a lot of inspiration, and somehow she could imagine how his story was being turned into an anime. If her ability wasn't limited and her specialty was to create a romance anime, then she might ask him to let her make an anime of his story, but she knew about her own ability, so she didn't ask such a rude question. Her way of thinking might be weird for some people, but she was serious when it came to working.
However, Misaki didn't say anything and wondered how Shishio was going to answer Mitaka's request. After all, she knew that showing a manuscript to someone else was like asking someone else's secret. Even though Shishio had shown her before, she believed that Shishio believed in her wouldn't try to plagiarize his work, but Mitaka was different. After all, Mitaka was also a writer, even though Mitaka had only written the script for her anime.
When Mitaka asked this request, his face was so hot that it was almost burning. Yet, somehow his pride was hurt when he asked this request to someone who was younger than him. He had been working hard for the past few years, but all his results were simply ordinary in the eyes of those professionals—only those high school students who didn't understand anything thought of him as a genius. Even though, in truth, he wasn't.
Mitaka knew that this request of him was very shameless since he knew how important a manuscript was, but he was curious at what kind of story could make Misaki so excited. In truth, he didn't really want to ask this request, but the thought that he might not be part of Misaki's life in the future, made him lower his head to ask this shameless request to Shishio.
Mitaka only hoped that Shishio could agree to his request as soon as possible so he could go back and continue to write his script, but...
"Huh? How did you know, Senpai?" Shishio asked with a confused expression.
"...." Mitaka.
"I have never told you before, right?" Shishio asked, after all, he had only told Ritsu, Shiina, Shiro-san, Roberta, Chihiro, and Mayumi that he had written a story and he had never told this matter to both Mitaka and Sorata since both of them left directly in the morning earlier.
Mitaka was stunned before he quickly said, "I have heard it from Misaki." He pushed the frame of his glasses, and somehow he felt quite nervous at this moment since he didn't really want Shishio to know that he was eavesdropping on their conversation before.
"Really?" Shishio raised his eyebrow, but he didn't say much.
As for Misaki, she raised her eyebrow since she didn't remember that she had told about the matter that Shishio had written a story to Mitaka before.
"Yes." Mitaka nodded.
"I see." Shishio nodded, then said, "But I'm sorry, Senpai. Unfortunately, I can't let you read my manuscript."
"...." Mitaka and Misaki.
Misaki wasn't that surprised and felt that it was normal for Shishio to refuse Mitaka's request, but Mitaka felt a bit annoyed by Shishio's refusal and asked, "Why?"
"I mean, why should I let you read my manuscript?" Shishio asked with a strange expression.
"....."
'Why?'
Mitaka was stunned when Shishio asked this question. "But you have shown your manuscript to everyone, right?"
"Huh? No, I didn't show it to everyone. I only showed it to Shiro-san, Mashiro, Ritsu, Roberta, and Misaki, and how did you know this matter, Senpai?" Shishio asked.
"...." Mitaka.
"Have you eavesdropped on our conversation before?" Shishio asked.
"...."
Mitaka sighed and nodded. "Yes." He felt that his face was burning and that he wanted to run away at that moment, and at the same time, he was quite angry at Shishio, who refused his request, wondering whether this guy thought that he was going to plagiarize his story or something. Even though Shishio had every right to refuse, he was still Shishio's senior, and he wanted respect from him. Still, when he was about to get angry, he saw Shishio's tall, athletic, and muscular figure. So he somehow got a bit scared, and he also knew if he did something stupid, he would be the one at fault. "Can you tell me why you refused me, Oga-kun?"
If Shishio knew what Mitaka was thinking, he would nod without hesitation since he didn't want to show Mitaka his script because he didn't want Mitaka to plagiarize him.
Shishio nodded and said, "Well, I know that you might feel offended since I refused your request, but unlike everyone, your situation is a bit different Senpai."
"My situation?" Mitaka asked with a frown.
"Right now, you're writing a script for Misaki-senpai's anime, right? Have you finished it?" Shishio asked.
Mitaka frowned and said, "That matter has nothing to do with this matter, right?"
"Of course, there's a matter." Shishio shook his head and said, "If you haven't finished your script, then I'm afraid that you'll use my manuscript as a source of inspiration."
"You mean that I'm going to plagiarize?" Mitaka asked with a snort.
Shishio raised his eyebrow and said, "If you think that way, then you can think of it that way." He was too lazy to act as a good underclassman in front of this person.
Both Mitaka and Shishio stared at each other for a while.
Mitaka gulped and could feel pressure from Shishio's body. He knew that if he tried to do something, he would be killed in a second.
Shishio was, after all, a master of martial arts, and he could project his action thought to Mitaka easily. He then smiled at Mitaka and said, "I mean, why do you have to ask me that request. I'm only a first-year, I'm younger than you, do you think that I'm better than you at writing? You're a genius scriptwriter, right?"
Somehow when the "genius scriptwriter" came out from Shishio's mouth, it was like sarcasm on Mitaka's ears, but he didn't deny it since that was his nickname on the magazine. However, he couldn't help but become self-depreciated since he knew himself that he was only Misaki's tail. He only followed Misaki's reputation. If there wasn't Misaki, then he knew that he was only an ordinary student like everyone else.
"Senpai, if you can't believe in yourself that you can create a good script, how can Misaki-senpai believe in you? You can't even believe in yourself. So how can someone else believe you?" Shishio asked.
Mitaka opened his eyes in shock when he heard Shishio's words.
"So, Senpai, let me ask you again, have you finished your script?" Shishio asked.
"...." Mitaka looked at Shishio with a complicated expression and nodded. "Yes."
"Then just show it to Misaki-senpai. What's the use to come to me at night?" Shishio said.
Mitaka looked at Shishio for a bit and nodded. "You don't need to say that. I'll show it to Misaki." He then left without hesitation. After all, he had been rejected, and his pride also made him think that he should be better than Shishio. 'Just wait!'
"So I'm waiting to see the hard work of the two of you," Shishio said with a smile, then entered his room without hesitation, but when he pushed the door, it hit something.
"It hurts!" Misaki rubbed her forehead that was hit by the door.
Shishio was speechless and said, "What are you standing near the door?"
"...." Misaki blushed embarrassedly.
"Senpai, Mitaka-senpai has worked hard for you. Why don't you believe in him to write a good script for you?" Shishio asked since he didn't really want to write a script for Misaki.
'Work hard?' Misaki wanted to laugh when she heard these words since she knew what kind of hard work Mitaka did. If becoming a womanizer, coming out every night, and staying with different women every day could be called hard work, then what was hard work?
'But...' Misaki felt complicated at that moment.
"You should go back to your room, Senpai. I want to sleep first," Shishio said, holding Misaki's shoulders, and pushed him outside of his room. "Mitaka-senpai has said that he has completed the script, right? How about you read it first before you make your decision?"
Hearing Shishio's words, Misaki thought for a bit, then nodded. "Then you can continue to watch your porn first, Shishio-kun."
Shishio smiled and said, "Well, I'm going continue to watch it, so go out now. I can't watch it with you here."
Misaki smiled and said, "How about we watch them together?"
"Do you want to watch porn together with me?" Shishio asked with a playful smile.
"..." Misaki was stunned, and she was blushing when she realized how bold she was at that moment. "I - I'll go back first!" She quickly ran away, wondering why her heart was beating so fast at this moment. She should have fallen at Mitaka, but why did she feel this feeling toward Shishio?
Shishio could only shake his head and thought that the two of them were very troublesome at that moment.
