I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Shishio and Roberta came out of the car together and walked to Wagnaria together. The automatic door opened, and Popura greeted them.

"Welcome, guest!" Popura greeted them with a smile, but she looked at Roberta curiously since she didn't expect someone to wear a maid uniform. Still, she didn't say much. After all, there were many unique people in this restaurant, but then, she looked at Shishio and felt that she had seen him somehow.

Shishio smiled and asked, "Did you forget about me, Taneshima-san?"

Hearing his voice, Popura was surprised and asked, "Oga-kun?"

"It's me." Shishio nodded.

"Wow, you have cut your hair!" Popura looked at Shishio and couldn't help but blush. His long hair made him handsome, but his short hair wasn't bad either, or rather she liked this short hair better.

"Is there an empty seat?" Shishio asked.

"Um." Popura nodded and said, "Yes, please follow me inside." She then guided both Shishio and Roberta to the empty table.

Shishio looked at Roberta, and she didn't seem to be interested in Popura, so he didn't say much. He looked around and didn't see Saki anywhere, so she shouldn't have arrived yet.

Popura guided them to the empty table, and Shishio and Roberta sat while facing each other.

"I want melon soda and french fries," Shishio said.

"Um." Popura nodded and wrote down Shishio's order.

"Do you want something, Roberta?" Shishio asked.

"No," Roberta said.

"We'll stay out for a long time, so you might as well have dinner here," Shishio said again.

Roberta thought for a while and nodded. "Then, I'll order the same thing."

"...." Shishio.

Popura nodded and said, "Two melon sodas and two french fries. Please wait for a moment." She bowed her head then left for the kitchen to prepare their order.

When Popura left, Roberta looked at Shishio and asked, "Isn't it time for you to explain to me, Shishio-sama?"

"Wait a moment. Let's wait for one more person," Shishio said. "But is it alright for you to order the same thing as me?"

Roberta nodded and said, "I just want to try it."

"Well, if you say so." Shishio nodded and asked, "Can you tell me how are you doing? Have you met trouble when you stay at the "Shooting Range"?"

Roberta shook her head and said, "No, everything is alright..." So then, she started to tell Shishio what had happened during her stay at the "Shooting Range," Sometimes, his grandfather came to visit her from time to time, but she really missed him.

Shishio nodded and felt glad that Roberta's life at the "Shooting Range" didn't seem too bad, and there wasn't any explosion or anything there.

When Roberta talked, she thought that it was a good chance to talk to him that she wanted to live together with him, but...

"Shishio!"

Shishio and Roberta turned their heads and saw Saki walking toward her.

"Saki, come here!"

Saki nodded and walked toward Shishio, but then she noticed Roberta sitting on the opposite side of him quietly while wearing a maid uniform. Her face suddenly turned red, and she asked, "Are you going to ask me to wear a maid uniform too?"

"...." Shishio.

"Sit down first," Shishio said and patted the seat next to him.

Saki nodded and sat next to Shishio. After all, she didn't know Roberta, so she wasn't sure whether it was alright to sit next to her, but she had sat next to him before, so she sat next to him naturally.

"Well, let me introduce you two to each other." Shishio looked at Roberta and said, "Roberta, this is Kawasaki Saki. I have hired her as my manager, secretary, or something-alike."

'Something-alike...' Saki was speechless.

Roberta looked at Saki and gave a polite bow. "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Roberta-san." Saki also gave a polite bow to Roberta. She then looked at Shishio, hoping to introduce her to Roberta since she wondered about her identity. 'Is she really a maid or just a cosplayer?' After all, it wasn't uncommon to see a cosplayer in this country.

"Saki, she's my maid. Her name is Roberta," Shishio said.

"Maid?" Saki was dumbfounded, but then she remembered how Shishio could make the cafe manager where she worked previously become quiet. She wanted to know more about him, but she wasn't sure whether it was alright to ask him.

"Well, you can say that my family hired her. You might communicate with each other further in the future," Shishio said since he knew that Saki's role might not be much different from Roberta's, but of course, Saki wouldn't be fighting.

"Oh..." Saki nodded, then bowed again toward Roberta. "Please take care of me, Roberta-san."

"Yes, please take care of me too, Kawasaki-san." Roberta gave her a nod.

Shishio looked at Roberta and didn't seem that surprised when Roberta was very polite toward Saki. After all, even though Roberta had an ugly past, she was very well-mannered.

"Shishio, can you explain to me what you are going to do?" Saki asked.

"I'll explain, but you should order something first, and I'll treat you, of course," Shishio said.

Saki seemed to be a bit hesitant. After all, even though Shishio had hired her, she really hadn't done anything, which made her pretty much helpless.

"It's alright. Your job might be quite hard later," Shishio said.

"Then, please tell me what am I going to do?" Saki asked since she had received her salary, and if she did nothing, she would feel very uncomfortable.

Shishio looked at Saki and said, "Well, in short, you'll take care of me."

"I'm going to be your maid too?" Saki asked in a blush.

"You can say it that way. After all, Roberta is a bit clumsy at that," Shishio said.

"Shi - Shishio-sama!" Roberta seemed to be embarrassed when Shishio mentioned how clumsy she was, but that was the truth. After all, if she washed something, she would tear the clothes apart. If she cooked something, it would explode. If she was told to clean up the grass around the backyard, she might flip the earth apart, as long as it was something that had something to do with a household chore, she would be very awkward and cause destruction, but if she asked to become a guard, then, without doubt, her skill was top-notch.

"I understand." Saki nodded, and in truth, she didn't really mind becoming his maid, but...

"Do I have to come out at night?" Saki asked.

"Well, today is a bit special since I'm going out to fight," Shishio said.

"Huh? Fight? What do you mean?" Saki asked in confusion.

"Wait a moment," Shishio said.

"Your order is ready, Oga-kun!" Popura then placed down Shishio's order on the table, looked at Saki, and asked Shishio, "Your friend?"

Shishio nodded and said, "Yes." He then looked at Saki and asked, "Saki, do you like sweet things?"

"Well, I don't hate it." Saki somehow felt a bit embarrassed if she told him that she liked a sweet thing.

"Taneshima-san, can I ask for one strawberry parfait and three glasses of water?" Shishio asked.

"One strawberry parfait and three glasses of water." Popura wrote down the order and nodded. "I'll prepare your order right away."

Saki looked at Popura with a dumbfounded expression, but when she wanted to ask...

"No, she isn't an elementary school student. She's a high school student," Shishio said.

"..." Saki.

"I can see that you want to ask that," Shishio said with a smile.

"...." Saki.

"Well, can you tell me more about this fight that you're talking about? What kind of fight?" Saki asked.

"I'll explain to you, but you need to keep this a secret, alright?" Shishio said.

"Yes." Saki nodded and said, "You don't need to worry."

Then Shishio explained what "Kengan Match" was and how he would join this "Kengan Match" tonight.

"..."

Saki couldn't utter words, and there was one question that appeared on her mind. "Are you serious?"

"Yes." Shishio nodded and said, "It might sound doubtful, but it is the truth. I'll lend you a facemask later so that you can hide your face."

"I...." Saki then shook her head and said, "Why do you have to fight? Can you not just stop fighting? It is dangerous!"

Hearing Saki's words, Roberta also nodded. After all, she didn't see the reason why Shishio needed to fight. He had a lot of money, and his talent was in business, so there was definitely no reason to fight.

"Well, my reason is quite stupid," Shishio said.

"What kind of reason?" Saki asked.

"I want to prove that I'm the strongest," Shishio said.

"..." Saki and Roberta.

Shishio looked at their stunned expression, smiled, and said, "I know it is idiotic. But, after all, in today's age, do we need to fight? No, what we need is money and brain, but a boy is a stupid creature, and I want to prove that I'm the strongest."

"....." Saki let out a long sigh and said, "What happens if you're hurt?" She had to admit that Shishio's reason was foolish, and she didn't understand. Still, a man always had ambition and seeing him say his ambition without hesitation, she didn't have any courage to stop him, and she had to admit that he was very handsome at this moment. Still, when she recalled his fighting ability that night, she knew that he wasn't weak, or rather he was powerful, so she felt quite relieved since he wouldn't be hurt, right?

"Don't worry. I own a hospital," Shishio said.

"....." Saki.

Saki looked at Shishio and asked with a complex expression, "...Just how rich are you?"

"Well, you'll slowly know in the future." Shishio didn't answer and took his lightly salted french fries before he dipped them on the ice cream floating on his melon soda and ate it. He had to admit that this unhealthy combination tasted delicious, though. If a system didn't enhance his body, then he might not dare to eat it so often.

Roberta didn't say much after hearing Shishio's reason and also tried her melon soda and her french fries. She had to admit that the taste was quite good, but she knew that the things in front of her were very unhealthy.

"...."

Saki became more curious about Shishio. After all, he was so mysterious. Finally, she calmed herself, then asked, "When are you going?" She felt that she really needed to take care of him since she was afraid of what this guy might do.

Shishio was about to say something, but his phone vibrated. So he took his phone and saw that it was Togo. So he connected directly and was about to say something, but...

"Where are you?" Togo asked directly.

"Wagnaria," Shishio said.

"Oh, I see you, wait for me there!" Togo spoke directly then ended the call.

"..."

Shishio looked at his phone for a bit and shook his head. He was about to say something, but then he saw a group of cars arriving in front of Wagnaria.

"..."

"Is that someone you know?" Saki asked nervously.

"Un." Shishio nodded and said, "You don't need to worry too much."

"Um." Saki nodded and calmed down, but...

"Give me a chocolate parfait," Togo said to Popura after she sat next to Roberta directly.

"Yes." Popura nodded, then prepared Togo's order.

Togo looked at Saki, who was nervous since Saki didn't expect to meet Togo again. "It's been a while, girl."

"Uh." Saki was very nervous.

"You don't need to worry too much. I won't eat you." Togo then looked at Shishio and said, "Well, but it might be different for him since he might eat you."

"..." Saki and Roberta.

"Where is the location?" Shishio asked to change the topic of conversation.

"It's at Shinjuku." Togo looked at Shishio and asked, "Will you go in the same car as me?"

"No, I brought my own car," Shishio said.

"I'll stay in your car," Togo said.

Shishio nodded and said, "I don't really mind."

"Good." Togo nodded, then saw Popura bring her chocolate parfait. She quickly ate it and emptied it. "Let's go!"

In the car, Roberta was in the driver's seat, Saki was sitting next to Roberta, but even though the two of them sat on the front seat, they kept glancing back from time to time, wondering about the relationship between Shishio and Togo since they seemed to be very close.

Togo and Shishio were sitting next to each other in the back seat.

Togo talked on the phone with someone, and Shishio took something from his bag.

"What is that?" Togo asked curiously while holding her phone.

"Pomade," Shishio said, then applied the pomade to his hair before he slicked it back. With his "Hairdressing Mastery," it was simply impossible for him to mess up, and the moment he slicked his hair back, the three females in the car could see his eyes changed somehow, it was like a predator, like a lion, but one thing for sure, this scene might make them wet.
