After his trip to Tateyama, Shishio's time to stay on the Sakurasou was slightly less. While he came back from time to time to change his clothes and met Shiina, Roberta, Nanami, and the rest, he often stayed outside with his girlfriends.
If Shishio had to say what was the number one problem of a scumbag, without a doubt, it was time.
There were many girls around him, but there were only 24 hours per day, and it made it hard for him to meet all of them.
If Shishio could take them together like Miu and Saki, it wouldn't be a problem, but he hadn't done anything with Nana except for petting and the like.
Mai would also be conflicted if she was asked to do a threesome or foursome.
However, Shishio didn't give up since everything needed a process, and there was no way that he could be smooth sailing all the time.
With that thought in mind, Shishio returned to Sakurasou in the evening. While it might seem long, he only spent a few hours with Yukinoshita. Then he spent his time with Saki and Miu in his apartment before he returned since school would start tomorrow.
If Shishio had someone he wanted to meet, it was probably Rui since he didn't meet her after their last meeting on karaoke.
'There's also Momo too.'
When Shishio thought about Momo, he wasn't sure how to answer this girl for a moment. However, there was no need to mule over this matter since they could talk about this problem after they entered the school tomorrow.
"I'm back."
Shishio returned to Sakurasou and happened to meet Chihiro, who dressed sloppily in only pajamas on her body. "Chihiro-nee."
Chihiro stared at Shishio for a moment and said, "Shishio, come to my room a bit."
"Hmm?" Shishio observed Chihiro, and while he smelled alcohol from her body since she might drink in the afternoon, he could tell that she wasn't drunk and she was still sober, so he wondered whether this woman would scold him again.
Shishio was too lazy to complain and didn't say much, following her to her room without hesitation. "Your room has never changed." He wanted to say that she should clean up the room a bit since she wouldn't be able to marry someone this way, but he decided to keep his mouth shut since it was too troublesome, and he was also afraid that his lecture would be too long.
Still, when Shishio compared Chihiro to his mother, there was a big difference since his mother was strict, yet her little sister was sloppy.
Shishio thought that it might be awkward to communicate with his parents in this world, but he felt okay and comfortable with talking with them, feeling that they were his parents, and his parents in this world were also happy since he had stopped his Chuunibyou and had become a respectable son that they could be proud of.
Still, if only they knew that their son was a scumbag... they might not know how to respond.
"Okay, okay, I'll clean up the room later." Chihiro also knew that she was sloppy, so she didn't entangle with Shishio any longer since she was afraid that she would be the one who was being scolded. "By the way, your mother just called me before."
"Why?" Shishio quickly sat down in the "seiza" position and looked at Chihiro, telling her to continue to talk.
"She asked me how were you since she was afraid that you might lie to her," Chihiro said.
"Oh? What did you tell her?" Shishio asked.
"I told her that you have a girlfriend," Chihiro said simply.
"....." Shishio.
"Well, it's okay, isn't it? After all, isn't it normal for me to have a girlfriend?" Shishio said simply. He hadn't told his parents that he had a girlfriend since it was troublesome, especially when he had more than one girlfriend. "Aside from that? Chihiro-nee, you didn't say anything weird to my mother, right?"
Chihiro folded her arms and asked, "What do you think?"
"Probably not." Shishio shook his head and said, "I have been a good student after all."
"....." Chihiro.
While Chihiro must admit this guy might be a troubled student, without doubt, in the eyes of the school, Shishio was a good student.
The teacher was a double-standard creature.
If a student had a bad score, the teacher would think of him as a bad student, but if a student had a good score, even if the student often ignored the class, they would think of him as a good student since every talented student had one or two quirks.
Shishio entered the latter category.
"While I must admit that your score is the best among the entire grade, but you're also included on the problem student," Chihiro said with a snort since this guy must think that he could escape from her claws today, but she wouldn't let him go. "While I won't say much, Shishio, you have been away from Sakurasou for a while. If you don't have a good explanation, then I might tell this to your mother."
"It isn't something to hide or anything, but I have been working. I plan to make a project, Chihiro-nee," Shishio said.
"...Project?" Chihiro was dumbfounded since she thought that this guy was playing with his girlfriends or something, but she didn't expect that he would do a project. "What kind of project?"
It was true that Shishio might have spent his time going out and having fun with his girlfriends, but it didn't mean that he was lazying around since he still planned to create something.
"It isn't ready yet, but I hope that you can help me, Chihiro-nee," Shishio said.
"Do you want my help? What kind of help?" Chihiro was surprised, but she was even more curious.
"However, I hope that you can keep this matter as a secret first," Shishio said.
"You don't need to worry. I will keep silent about it." Chihiro nodded without hesitation since her nephew had been working hard, so she would support him, and it was several times better than letting him play with his girlfriend since it made her uncomfortable.
"I thought of creating a community for an artist so they can share their creations on the internet," Shishio said.
"Can you explain it in a more detailed way? Also, what can I do to help you?" Chihiro became even curious when she heard Shishio's plan.
After Shishio was successful with his school forum, he decided to step into the next step.
His next step was to create a community forum for artists to share their works.
Shishio was still in 2005, and there were many things that he could develop, and since he was studying at the Suimei Academy, he thought of creating "Pixiv."
While it might not be so popular in Western countries, "Pixiv" was the most popular community forum for artists in Japan and its surrounding countries.
Shishio knew that he could advertise his website better, and of course, he was also going to ask Chihiro's help since she was an art teacher in Suimei.
Hearing Shishio's plan, Chihiro thought that her nephew was genius, and it seemed that his dream to become a tycoon might even be realized sooner or later. However, she also must admit that his idea was amazing.
What did an artist need the most right now?
If Chihiro had to answer was, it was a platform where they could show their works.
However, Shishio's idea solved that problem, and Chihiro could see that many people would be excited about this website and upload their works on his website.
Shishio then told Chihiro that his website could also be used for a publishing house to find a good artist, and the artist could also gain the popularity that would bring them money. He would also create competition with money as a prize to popularize his website more.
Still, Shishio didn't say much and only asked for Chihiro's help when the website was ready.
"You don't need to worry. I'll help you when your website is ready," Chirhio said without hesitation since she was going to support her nephew no matter what.
"So our conversation has ended now?" Shishio asked.
"Yeah, you can go back if you want," Chihiro said simply.
"No, I'll stay here for a moment."
"Why?" Chihiro asked in doubt.
"I haven't received my reward for getting the 1st rank on the entire school from you," Shishio said with an eager expression.
"..." Chihiro.
Chihiro didn't forget about their promise, but it was just she didn't know what kind of reward she should give him since most of the things that she thought were to give him a perverted reward. She was quite embarrassed and then asked, "What do you want?"
"Haven't you planned to give me a reward?" Shishio asked.
"No, I plan to, but I'm not sure what to give you," Chihiro said helplessly. She thought for a moment and asked, "Or should I give you my stockings? You seem to like it when I rub your thigh with stockings back then."
"......." Shishio.
"What? Do you want my stockings?" Chihiro asked with a smile, then teased him. "You little pervert."
'This woman...' Shishio gritted his teeth and then nodded without hesitation. "Okay, give me."
"........" Chihiro.
"What's wrong?" Shishio asked with doubt.
Chihiro was joking, but she didn't expect that this guy would take her words seriously, or...
'Is this kid trying to tease me?' Chihiro snorted and felt that Shishio was too young to tease her!
Chihiro then took her pair of used stockings. "You can have them."
"......." Shishio looked at the used pair of stockings on his hands and wasn't sure what to say. He could smell Chihiro's feet smell, a mix of sweet and lovely odors, which made him feel strange.
"You don't like them? I have just used them before. My smell should be there," Chihiro said with a teasing smile.
"...I'll tell this to my mother," Shishio said with a serious expression, taking out his secret weapon without hesitation.
"You dare!" Chihiro was scared when she thought that Shishio's mother would know that she had given her son a pair of used stockings!
"So don't tease me, Chihiro-nee." Shishio smiled and put down the stockings.
Chihiro snorted and said, "Then what do you want?"
Shishio thought for a moment and said, "While I have said that you should surprise me for my reward, to give a pair of used stockings to your nephew is too much, right?"
"....." Chihiro.
"Then what do you want?" Chihiro asked.
Shishio looked at Chihiro for a moment, and even though she seemed to be sloppy, her beauty couldn't be hidden. He looked at her pale red lips and asked, "Can you kiss me?"
"Eh?" Chihiro let out a startled, girly voice.
"...Sorry, forget about that." Shishio felt that his scumbagness really couldn't be stopped any longer.
Chihiro was also blushing and embarrassed since she didn't expect such a request. She looked at Shishio and asked, "Do you want me to kiss you?"
Shishio looked at Chihiro, and it seemed that this woman didn't seem to hate the idea of kissing him, so he also didn't hesitate and nodded eagerly. "Yes. Can you?"
Chihiro looked at Shishio, who was excited and couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh. "Close your eyes a bit."
"Okay." Shishio closed his eyes and thought that Chihiro might kiss his forehead or cheek, but it seemed that this woman was lewder than he had thought.
Chihiro looked at who closed his eyes and thought this young man had become so handsome. She looked at his lips for a moment before she moved forward and kissed his lips.
"...."
Shishio was, of course, surprised and opened his eyes abruptly. However, he regretted his decision since Chihiro quickly pushed him away and said, "Now, get out."
"Chihiro-nee..."
"Get out for a moment!"
"..."
Shishio let out a sigh and walked out of the room, but Chihiro suddenly called him again.
"Shishio."
"Hmm?"
"Take this."
Shishio caught a pair of used stockings that were thrown by Chihiro.
"It's already yours," Chihiro said with a smile.
'Even if you say something cool, the things that you give me are just a pair of used stockings!'
Shishio was too lazy to argue and decided to walk out of Chihiro's room as he reached the warmth on his lips, thinking that his Golden Week was amazing.
Still, as Shishio left, Chihiro buried her face on the pillow while moving around in panic.
"What just did I do?!"
The milk had spilled, there was no use in regretting, and the only thing that Chihiro was to enjoy their situation, but was it possible?
Chihiro wasn't sure and even felt guilty, regretting her decision to kiss Shishio, but during the dinner, when she didn't even dare to look at him, Shishio announced something amazing.
"I'm a scumbag."
"......"
