It might be weird, but in the end, the three of them slept together.
Shiina was in the middle, with Shishio and Rita on her side together. While what Rita had said before made her confused, she smiled when she slept with the two people that she loved the most. She hugged their arms together and smiled happily.
"......."
Shishio and Rita, who saw this, could only show a helpless smile, but when they looked at each other, they snorted and looked away.
"Don't stare at me, scumbag."
"Ha? Aren't you the one who stared at my body before, you perverted girl?"
"No! No! I didn't see your body! Don't slander me!"
"Then, why is your face red? Do you have any guilty conscience in your heart?"
"No!"
The two continued to fight each other, but Shiina looked at the two and said, "Rita and Shishio are close to each other."
"Mashiro, have your eyes gone bad after your stay in this country?"
"Mashiro, I think we should visit an ophthalmologist tomorrow to check your eyes."
The two were in synch, and they quickly realized this. They looked at each other for a moment before they looked away with a snort.
'As expected, I can't get along with him!' Rita thought annoyedly.
However, Shishio thought that this girl was going to fall.
"Now that you mention it, how did you open the key to my room?"
He had always locked his door, so everything would be safe and okay, but this girl suddenly opened the lock of his door, which made him dumbfounded.
"Oh, it's Nanami. She is such a sweet and kind girl for giving me a key to your room and telling me that you two are about to do something that you shouldn't do."
Rita somehow felt proud and told him happily how Nanami helped her.
'That girl...'
It seemed that he had been lenient toward Nanami and thought it might be time to make her remember her position.
"But..." Rita blushed, then asked, "Have you really had sex with him, Mashiro?" The thought of Shiina doing something lewd with an opposite gender had never crossed her mind. Yet when she came to Tokyo, Shiina had changed.
Shiina had become a lewd woman, which made her dumbfounded and also excited. The word "excited" might be strange to describe her emotions since her friend's virginity was taken by a bastard, but there was a feeling of worry, relief, and defeat, especially when she realized that Shiina had become an adult already, which made her fluster.
While Shishio was speechless by Rita's question, Shiina nodded with her usual blank expression.
"Un."
However, if one looked at her closely, one would be able to see how drunk, happy, and womanly she was when she mentioned her lovemaking with him.
"It feels good when I do it with him."
"......"
Neither Rita nor Shishio were able to say anything.
"Scumbag," Rita spat that word to Shishio, but another question came: did it feel that good? However, unlike Shishio, who couldn't see Shiina's expression, she could see her expression well. Shiina had the face of a woman, which made her even more jealous of her.
Why?
Why had it always been her?
However, she quickly erased this feeling and glanced at Shishio.
Shishio didn't say anything and only lay behind Shiina while facing her back. He put his hand under her t-shirt and rubbed her belly gently. It was soft and slender without a hint of excess fat. She might have eaten a lot of sweets, but she often had a tough exercise almost every day, so her body had always been in the perfect state.
"Why did you look at me? Sorry, even if you fell for me and confess to me, I will reject you."
"...."
When Rita thought that his face was nice and it wouldn't be bad to stare at him all the time, she quickly threw her thoughts away and thought it was impossible for her to be with this bastard!
Still, while Rita was staring at him with a hateful expression, Shiina bit his finger, trying to hold her voice since his naughty hands were rubbing on her sensitive place, making her almost impossible to keep her voice quiet.
Shishio could feel a warm and wet feeling on his fingers, which made him smile and move his fingers lightly on Shiina's mouth. However, he didn't realize that Rita was stunned when she saw his smile.
However, Rita quickly shook her head since even if this guy was handsome, his mouth was as stinky as a sewer!
It was impossible for her to fall for this bastard!
"Now that you mention it." He looked at Rita and asked, "I have never asked you this question before, but why do you want to bring Mashiro to England? If you read the news, you will know how famous she is in this country, right?"
The reason why Shiina went to this country was that she wanted to learn manga, and the result of her manga was a big hit. While part of the reason why her manga was famous is because of him; if her drawing skill didn't reach a certain degree, it would have been impossible for her to be as famous as she is now.
It was because her drawing skill was amazing that her career as a mangaka could grow into a famous mangaka.
He had a certain degree of understanding toward Rita since he also had asked Shiina about her life in England.
Shiina told him that she had a friend, Rita, who had always been helpful toward her. Rita was also the one who taught her how to draw a manga, so shouldn't Rita be happy with her success?
Yet why did this girl suddenly come and ask Shiina to return to England?
When he mentioned this, Rita's expression was slightly ugly. She didn't expect Shiina's career as a mangaka could be so smooth, and her manga was sought after by everyone. She also had read it, and she could see how amazing the story and illustrations were.
Still, she only realized and thought that everything was because of this young man.
Shiina's illustrations aside, which had grown to the point where she could only look up to, without Shishio's story, no matter how good her drawing skill was, the result of her manga would be shit.
Rita tried to calm herself before she tried to form her fake smile and looked up.
"You know that manga is nothing compared to art, right? If I make a comparison, manga is like fast food, and art is like fine dining. You can see the difference between them. Even if Mashiro became famous because of manga, it is nothing since sooner or later in the future, even a famous manga will be forgotten, but art will last forever.
So I can't let Mashiro draw manga any longer."
"I am not going home," Shiina answered firmly, stopping him from giving her pleasure.
Shishio glanced at Shiina, but he didn't say anything.
"I thought you'd say that." Rita wasn't surprised by Shiina's answer. "But please think it over. Do you know how much potential your fingers hold? You have the ability to paint something that will go down in history. Millions of people are waiting for your next painting. Please fulfill their expectations."
"You helped me learn how to draw a manga," Shiina said.
"I only taught you how to use a computer. I didn't help you with anything else."
"Rita..."
"I can't bear to watch you waste any more of your time and talent here." Rita looked at Shishio and said, "Even you also understand me, right? As her boyfriend, you must know how amazing she is, right? Do you think that it is right for here to stay in this country?"
Shiina's heart trembled, and she wanted to push Rita out of the room, but at the same time, she was afraid to hear Shishio's answer, so she couldn't do anything and only lowered her head, but when she was confused, she felt her head gently patted by him, and she was hugged by him tightly as if he wouldn't let go.
"I don't think so."
"...what?" Rita was dumbfounded.
"I don't think that she should go back to England."
"Why? Don't you understand what I am saying? Her talent is amazing! It's so amazing that she can enter history! Many people expect her to continue to draw instead of wasting her time drawing a manga here, but you deny it? Don't you think that you're so selfish?"
"I am." Shishio nodded calmly and said, "I know that I am selfish, but so what?"
"...so what?" Rita was dumbfounded. "Everyone is waiting for her! There are millions of people that have been waiting for her!
"I don't care."
He shook his head and said, "Even if there are hundreds of millions or billions of people waiting for her, I don't care. I don't care about their opinions since no matter what, I won't let her go."
"Shishio..." Shiina blushed.
"You..." Rita wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything since she wasn't sure what to say.
He caressed Shiina's hair and said, "If Mashiro desires to make a painting that will enter history by going home, then I will support her, but does she think so? No. Everything is only your ego who thinks that returning to England is the best."
Rita flinched but couldn't say anything.
"She doesn't want to go back, and she wants to stay. You might not know, but her painting has become better here. As for the expectations of millions of people on her, as I have said before, I don't care.
Did she start to draw because of those people? No. She began to draw because she loved to paint. It's not because of other people's expectations of her.
I think it will be even better if she can draw something even more amazing after she ignores the voice of those people. Those people who believe that it is better for her to stay in England to continue to draw, I want to see their speechless and dumbfounded expressions when they see that Mashiro can draw even better when she is here.
See? I can draw better no matter where I am! I want to see her say that and laugh at them proudly."
He smiled and kissed Shiina's hair. "So whatever you want to do, don't hesitate since I will support you. Regret, hurt, happy, whatever you encounter, you don't need to feel afraid since I will be with you, so don't worry."
"Shishio..."
Shiina smiled and hugged him tightly with happy smile since she had never regretted coming to this country. After all, if she didn't come to this country, she wouldn't be able to meet him.
"..."
However, Rita was silent and couldn't say anything.
"Okay, okay. Let's sleep. It's already late."
Shiina glanced at Rita for a while and thought it might be good to wait for her to sleep since she just couldn't control her emotion and wanted to do something with Shishio.
Meanwhile, Rita was quiet and turned around while thinking about the words that had come out of his mouth previously.
'Ignore everyone's voice and just do whatever you want, huh?'
Rita glanced at Shishio with a complicated gaze before she closed her eyes since she just wanted to sleep now. Still, she couldn't help but feel jealous of Shiina now.
