Hina forgot to tell Shishio where to meet and came to his class, but when she came to his class, she didn't see him there. She wanted to meet him as soon as possible talking about what had happened before, so she asked his classmates.
"I see... literature clubroom?" Hina nodded and thanked the student. "Thank you." She didn't know who the name of this classmate was, but she didn't care and walked toward the literature clubroom to meet him.
Sorata looked at Hina back and thought that this teacher was beautiful, but what made him happy was because it seemed she was about to scold Shishio, and it was something that he was pleased to see.
While Sorata had moved out from Sakurasou, he just couldn't forget about Shiina, and it made his heart race every time he saw her, but he just didn't have the courage to approach her. However, what had happened this morning changed everything since he didn't expect that Shishio would dare to date Shiina and Nana at the same time.
Sorata was jealous. No, he felt contempt for that scumbag!
Sorata, without hesitation, told where Shishio was, and hopefully, that guy could be punished for making the entire guys in the school become his enemies.
However, one thing was for sure, Sorata was curious at how Shishio was able to date two girls at the same time.
While Sorata was still daydreaming, Hina had already arrived in the literature clubroom, and she didn't expect to see the scenes that only happened in the light novel.
"Wh-What are you doing?!"
They were in school!
How could they do this?!
Hina stared at Shishio, who was surrounded by many beautiful girls with blush and speechless expressions. She didn't expect that not only her little sister, the genius painter, one of the most beautiful girls in the first grade, and even a famous actress would be his girlfriends too.
Shishio's expression didn't change, and he told everyone to sit down first since he didn't expect Hina would interrupt them right after their heated discussion. He let out a sigh inwardly, then asked, "What's wrong, Tachibana-sensei?"
"We need to talk for a moment." Hina looked at everyone and said, "I'll borrow him for a moment."
They looked at each other and wondered whether Shishio had seduced Hina, but when they saw Hina's expression, they thought that it shouldn't be.
"I'll talk with Sensei first. If I don't come back until the break is over, then you should go back to your class," Shishio said and patted the girls' shoulders one by one before he left.
"Do you need us to accompany you?" Saki asked since she thought the problem was related to his confession as a scumbag to the whole school.
"No, it's alright. You don't need to worry since Tachibana-sensei isn't going to scold me, right?" Shishio said while looking at Hina with a faint smile.
Hina's body flinched and showed a slight nervousness on her face, but she quickly calmed herself and nodded. "You don't need to worry. I just need to talk with him for a moment."
Hearing Hina's reassurance, they nodded with a sigh of relief, but even so, they were still quite worried. However, there was nothing that they could do, and they could only wait for him.
While the girls were worrying about him, Shishio and Hina walked next to each other.
"Where are we going, Tachibana-sensei?" Shishio asked.
"It's Hina-sensei, right?" Hina asked with a pout.
"...Hina-chan-sensei, so what do you want to talk about? Is it related to what I have done in the morning?" Shishio asked.
"Well, it is related, but... let's talk about this later, and for now, just follow me," Hina said and continued to walk.
"Okay." Shishio nodded.
The two walked together, and they instantly became the center of attention.
While what Shishio had done in the morning was part of the reason, his magnetic figure could easily attract everyone's attention like a magnet that attracted a metal on its surrounding. Their eyes were glued toward him without looking away, especially when he was so quiet and showed a melancholy expression.
Somehow they thought even if Shishio was a scumbag, they would happily accept him.
Hina, of course, noticed Shishio's expression, which made her pout, thinking that this guy was too popular.
"What's wrong, Hina-chan-sensei?" Shishio asked.
"Nothing." Hina kept her mouth pout before she said, "Hurry up, Shishio-kun."
"Okay. Okay." Shishio looked at Hina's back and wondered whether this woman didn't understand her situation, but he shook his head since it wasn't his problem.
While the two walked together, they didn't realize that Natsuo Fuji was looking at them. He, of course, had heard about Shishio, who had decided to become a scumbag, and it made him wonder whether Rui knew about this matter.
'Also, why is Hina-nee?'
Natsuo thought for a moment and thought that it was necessary for him to talk to the two of them since right now, they were a family, and he didn't want anything bad to happen to them. His goodwill was good. Unfortunately, it wasn't necessary, and even if they were a family, there was something that one shouldn't butt in, especially when their relationship wasn't that close to begin with.
However, it had nothing to do with Shishio since he came to the rooftop again. It had been a while since he came to this place, but he had come to this place several times with many different people, talking about many things.
"So, what do you want to say to Hina-sensei?" Shishio asked.
The wind blew her hair, but Hina hung her hair behind her ear and pressed her skirt so it wouldn't be blown away by the wind.
If Shishio didn't know what this woman wanted to talk about with him, he thought that she might confess to him.
'Well, it isn't much different.'
Hina was going to confess, but this confession was different from the usual one.
"Shishio-kun... you're dating more than one girl?" Hina asked hesitantly.
"Yes." Shishio nodded.
"...." Hina.
"But I don't break the rules of the school, right? After all, there is no rule in the school that forbids someone to have more than one lover," Shishio said calmly.
"..."
"Scumbag." That word came out from Hina's mouth naturally as she stared at Shishio with a frown.
Shishio looked at Hina for a moment, then said, "Let's talk while we sit down first, Sensei." He sat on the nearby bench while waiting for Hina to sit next to him.
Talking while standing wasn't good, and it would always lead one's emotion to run amok, which was why it was necessary to sit down since it could calm one down.
Still, Shishio felt slightly annoyed when Hina said that he was a scumbag while she wasn't that much different from him.
Hina looked at Shishio for a moment and sat next to Shishio.
"So, what do you want to talk about first?" Shishio asked.
Hina opened her mouth then closed it again since there were many things that she wanted to ask, but at the same time, she wondered why Shishio didn't say anything about what he had seen in the cafe before. "What's your relationship with Rui?"
"With Rui? It should be more than a friend and less than a lover," Shishio said after a moment of hesitation.
"What kind of relationship is that?" Hina asked with a frown.
"Sensei, I know that you're worried about your little sister, but you don't need to worry, I treat her dearly, and I won't hurt her," Shishio said with confidence, without looking away from Hina's eyes, clearly showing that he didn't lie and she could trust him.
However, how could Hina trust a scumbag so easily?
"But you're a scumbag," Hina said with a frown.
"I had admitted to Rui that I was a scumbag that dated more than one girlfriend, but even so, she still chose to be with me." Shishio didn't look away from Hina and said, "I have never lied to her, and she's free to leave me if she wants to since I have never forced her to stay with me, even if I want her to be with me." He looked toward the blue sky and felt it was so clear today since he didn't need to lie anymore. "So you don't need to worry, Sensei. If she doesn't see the future and feels that it is pointless to be by my side, she'll leave me." He then looked at Hina and said, "However, if she chooses to be with me, I hope that you can support her since while many people think that her decision is wrong, I just hope that her older sister will support her."
Hina looked at Shishio for a moment, and somehow she felt quite jealous of her little sister. "...You think what you're doing isn't wrong?"
"I think... it is wrong to determine if one is right or wrong based on common sense or the majority." Shishio looked at Hina and said, "If you think that what you do is right and you're happy with that relationship, then you don't need to be affected by your surroundings. Even if the whole world thinks that you're wrong, I'll think that you're right since it is your decision and you're happy with it."
Hina stared at Shishio in a daze and understood instantly that he knew she was dating a married man, but even so, he didn't think that she was wrong if it was her decision and she was happy with it.
However, the question was, was she happy?
"You don't think that I'm wrong, Shishio-kun?" Hina asked hesitantly.
"If you're happy and you love him, I don't see there's anything wrong with it even if you decide to date a married man, a grandpa, a widower, or even someone around my age. However, you should know that you'll have to pay the price for what you have done." Shishio smiled and said, "You can see me as your example." He had become a scumbag, and his reputation fell sharply toward the cliff.
One was amazed by his deeds, one thought that he was the worst, and one was jealous of the girls.
People's reaction was different from one to another, but Shishio didn't care that much since he knew that it was the price for becoming a scumbag.
Still, while Shishio was able to say it easily, it was different from Hina since their gender was different.
While it might sound unfair if a man was cheating and dated many girls, many of them would be proud, and many people even worshipped them secretly.
However, a female was different since they would be considered a slut if they dated more than one man.
Some people said that it was unfair, but that was how the world went, and there was nothing that Shishio could do since he also wouldn't allow his girls to have other men except him in their lives.
"If you think that your heart is right, then I won't say much, but at the same time, you should also think what the consequences are and whether those consequences are worthy of being fought for or not." Shishio stood up and patted his butts. "Well, I should go back now." He had talked enough and felt that there was no need to say more, but his wrist was grabbed when he was about to go back.
"...Shishio-kun, before you go back, can you hear me first?" Hina asked hesitantly.
"........"
Shishio looked at Hina and thought the development was quite different from what he had imagined, but he nodded after a moment of hesitation.
"Okay."
