"Huh? We can't wear a kimono?"
Yuzu Yukimoto was dumbfounded when she heard his words.
"It isn't that you can't use the yukata, but if you're alright with a blister, then I won't stop you."
While they had planned to go to the Kumagaya Fireworks Festival, Shishio couldn't help but remind them how crowded this festival was.
This festival was attended by at least 40,000 people or more!
While Shishio also wanted to see them wear a beautiful yukata, when he thought about the crowd, he couldn't help but remind them how troublesome it was to wear such clothing.
While the male yukata was alright, the female yukata was quite troublesome to wear, especially the geta (wooden sandals) were particularly uncomfortable when used for a long time.
"But do you want to see us wearing a yukata?" Yuri Kazami asked with a smile.
"I want to see," Shishio answered without hesitation.
Yuri smiled and said, "Then, if that's the case, how about we go to the nearby festival here?"
"Is there such a festival nearby?" Shishio was dumbfounded.
"There is." Ayaka Sunohara nodded with a gentle smile. "Nana-chan and I often went there together."
"Hehe..." Nana hugged Ayaka happily.
"...."
Shishio looked at Ayaka and Nana at the same time, but he didn't say anything. "Still, is that okay with you?" He had promised to take them out before they went home, but he wondered whether they were okay with the festival held in the nearby shrine.
"Yeah!" 5x
Nana, Ayaka, Yuzu, Yuri, and Sumire Yamanashi agreed that they should visit the nearby shrine. While it was a shame that they couldn't see the most spectacular fireworks festival in Saitama, they felt it was better for them to be able to appear in their most beautiful state.
Lastly, with how crowded the festival in Saitama was, they were afraid that they might get lost. However, if they visited the festival nearby, even if some of them were lost, they were still confident to go back by themselves since they were familiar with the location. They were also familiar with the people around the neighborhood, so if they needed help, they could ask them.
On the other hand, if they visited Saitama, they had to stick together, or else, when they get lost in the middle of the festival, it would become a tragedy.
Personally, Shishio must admit that their decision was working for him. After all, he had been going out away from Tokyo so many times, and he somehow felt a bit lazy to go out, especially in crowded places such as Kumagaya Fireworks Festival.
He also must admit that his mood wasn't good, especially when he thought about Yukinoshita. He didn't even have time to think about Yuigahamama somehow.
'What's happening to her?'
While he wanted to use his people to investigate this matter, he decided to bear with this feeling for a while since they would only be separated at least until the next semester, which was at the end of the summer vacation.
'Next time I meet her, I won't let her go.'
He had made up his mind.
His memory of the night of the summer camp was still vivid in his mind.
The warmth of her body, the flower-like scent that invaded his nasal cavity, her slender body pressed against his, and her beautiful eyes stared into his.
He remembered all of them, and it was also the reason why he felt it was time for him to start the next step.
Yet he knew what he needed to do wasn't think about Yukinoshita.
Instead, the many girls in front of him.
When their plans changed, they quickly went to their room and changed into a yukata.
Shishio moved to the living room and waited for them before he noticed Aki Shiina, who seemed to be hard to notice for some reason. He only realized it, but this guy had been with them for a while, which made him speechless.
"What are you standing there for, Aki? Come on. Sit down."
Anyway, they have known each other for so long.
Even if their relationship was quite strange, Shishio still called him for the first time. He patted the free space on the sofa where he sat and gestured for him to sit right next to him.
"Yes."
While Aki was slightly nervous, he nodded.
Frankly, it was hard to say that their relationship was good since when Shishio entered, they were mostly talking with the three girls from the Sunoharasou and Ayaka.
Aki also didn't take the initiative to talk.
The one who took the initiative since Shishio also taught everyone in Sunoharasou to study from time to time.
"You're not going to change into a yukata too, Aki?" Shishio asked, starting with a small conversation.
Similar to a woman, it was normal for a man to wear a yukata during a festival.
Many also didn't think it was weird either since one would appear cool when they wore a yukata. The way they crossed their arms under the large sleeves was cool, and it made them appear like a scholar.
If they were rugged and quite muscular, they would appear like warriors when they wore a yukata.
Yet this wasn't surprising since even a samurai wore something more exaggerated such as a kimono.
In other words, clothes make men.
Even if one appearance wasn't that good, as long as they dressed well, they would appear more handsome. If they could also wear make-up like a woman, it would be even better, but men hardly even had an interest in make-up, so they could use their natural state of appearance every day, unlike a woman, who could put make-up as thick as their thighs.
Yet this wasn't something to be mocked. Instead, it was something to be amazed at since he must admit the effort of a woman who wanted to appear beautiful in the eyes of others was worthy of admiration.
"I-I might change my clothes later..."
Aki answered with a slightly nervous voice. "How about you, Shishio-nii?" However, after a while, he calmed himself.
"Hmm... probably not since I don't bring such clothes here."
Shishio only came with the clothes on his body now. As for wearing a yukata or different traditional clothes, he was too lazy to do so since the current temperature was quite hot, making him sluggish.
"Aki, you're from Shizuoka, right?"
"Ah, yes!"
"What kind of place is that?"
"Etto... Shizuoka is..."
Anyway, the girls would come out later quite late.
Shishio might need to wait a few hours before they were ready, and he had gotten used to it. Even if he complained, it was simply meaningless. However, he had always changed his state of mind, so he wouldn't be bored or impatient.
'They are dressing and doing make-up for so long for me.'
With such a thought on his mind, it made his mood good, but even so, he must admit he was bored to death and decided to talk with Aki. Honestly, it might be his first time asking Aki this type of question, but he hadn't talked much with Aki either, so it might be a good time to learn more about him.
Shishio had always wanted to make Aki move out from the Sunoharasou, but unlike the other male who he had injured along the way, Aki was different since this guy was a kid and slightly feminine. He wouldn't be surprised if Aki might trigger the system somehow.
After all, even Souta Takanashi, Ryuunosuke Akasaka, and Totsuka Saika triggered his system even though they were all male.
If Aki dressed up like a girl, he wasn't much different from those three.
Unfortunately, Aki could really trigger his system, which made him helpless.
Yet his decision to move Aki away from this place didn't change.
While Aki was only a middle school student, it was impossible for him to let his woman stay with him.
After all, they were all male, and as a male, Shishio knew what kind of things filled their heads. In case something happened, it was too late to cry.
'If I can't move him after this summer, then...'
However, if possible, Shishio didn't want to use a direct method, but if there was no other way, he might as well make trouble on Aki's father's business, so Aki would move away because of financial reasons.
It was the most rational and logical reason that one couldn't do anything against.
Shishio might seem cruel, but he could even erase Doppo Orochi, Katsumi Orochi, and the Shinshinkai Karate School from this world. Just making Aki's life slightly unbearable was nothing for him.
Still, he must admit that the power of money and authority was terrifying since, with the two of them, he could play with the lives of others like a toy. This might be a cruel fact, but this reality was, right?
Even in history, there were many people with authority and wealth who would assassinate their enemies so easily that it was nothing. After all, the world was a wonderful place, and there were many people in this world who were desperate enough to get money even if they had to take the right of others to live.
Yet he stopped thinking about that matter, especially when he heard Aki's words.
"Do you have an older sister?" Shishio was surprised.
"Yes."
Aki nodded. "She should be one year older than you, Shishio-nii."
"I see." Shishio nodded. "Is your relationship good?" He felt that Aki's relationship should be like that of an older sister who had a deep brother complex toward her little brother, which made him feel strange since countless unique plots of the drama between a brother and a sister appeared on his mind.
"Well..." Aki's expression was quite awkward.
"...Is it not good?" Shishio somehow felt curious.
"Er..." Aki couldn't explain since he felt embarrassed!
However, Aki was saved when he heard this voice.
"Shishio, can you help us a little?"
"Okay."
Shishio agreed without hesitation since instead of staying with Aki, it was better to stay with his women.
As expected, the moment he entered Ayaka's room, he was welcomed with an immoral scene that couldn't be thought would appear in reality.
"Can you help us to wear them?" 2x
"......"
Shishio took a deep breath and said, "Gladly."
