I Refuse To Become Scumbag In Tokyo-Novel

Chapter 125 - Haircut 1

Shishio had decided to cut his hair, especially after he had received "Hairdresser Mastery" from the system, but even so, it didn't mean he was going to cut his own hair, and to cut his hair, he was going to a barbershop, but he wasn't sure where he should go since he had never come into one in this country.

It was also the reason why Shishio had always maintained his long hair since he wasn't sure where he should cut his hair, after all, even if the influence of the internet in 2005 was huge to a business, there were still a lot of people who didn't care much about it either since you wouldn't die even if you couldn't use it, right???

Such long hair, if this hairstyle became a weird haircut, Shishio would cry without tears, worse case, he might as well cut his hair into a buzz cut directly.

"Senpai, do you know where a good barbershop is?" Shishio asked.

"....." Ritsu looked at Shishio and wasn't sure what to say for a moment. She closed her book and thought for a while. "Well, I usually cut my hair at Osonoi Salon and Barbershop."

"Osonoi?" Shishio raised his eyebrow.

"It's nearby, let's go," Ritsu said and strode while holding Shiina's hand.

Shishio nodded and followed, as for Shiina? Well, Shiina didn't say much, only quietly followed, while wondering what kind of hairstyle that Shishio would change.

---

Their trip really didn't take a long time, and they had arrived at the Osonoi Salon and Barbershop.

Shishio looked at the shop and had to admit that this place was quite big.

In Tokyo where the land price was very expensive, it was quite rare to see such a huge place, but the big one in Japan was different from the big one in the country where there was a lot of land such as China or the US.

The design of the shop was very clean with white color as the main color of the building, it had a wooden floor, a huge and clean glass so everyone could see the interior of the shop clearly, there were also some decoration plants that were placed outside, and somehow this shop gave off a friendly feeling, it was as if anyone wouldn't be troubled to enter the shop.

Even though Ritsu was quite a loner and didn't care about other people's opinions, she was still a girl, so she cared about her appearance. She then looked at Shishio who had been looking at the store and said with a smile, "You don't need to worry, there's also a male hairdresser inside, or rather, this shop is owned by a married couple."

Shishio looked at Ritsu and knew that this girl had misunderstood him, the reason why he was looking at this shop in a daze was that the name of "Osonoi" seemed to be quite similar, and as expected, when the door was opened, he saw a familiar girl came out from the shop, wearing an apron and carrying a lot of plastic bag on her hands.

"Huh? Shishio? Why are you here?" Maiko was dumbfounded when she saw Shishio outside of her family shop.

"Well, I want to cut my hair and Senpai recommends that I should cut my hair here," Shishio said simply and didn't seem that embarrassed when he saw his friend here.

Maiko was full of excitement and quickly said, "Really? Do you want to cut your hair? Come in! Come in! I'll cut you hai---"

"Maiko, hurry up and throw away that trash! What are you standing in front of the entrance for with those trashes?! You're going to disgust the customers with those plastic bags!" A loud sound of a woman was heard from the outside.

"Then hire someone! How can you ask your cute daughter to do such a dirty job like this?!" Maiko complained.

"Ho? Did I hear that you want me to cut your allowance?" The woman asked with a threatening tone.

"I'll do my best!" Maiko gave a salute and looked at Shishio. "Wait inside, I'll come back shortly." She then noticed both Shiina and Ritsu who had been standing beside him and greeted them. "Mashiro-chan, Senpai, come inside too!"

"Maiko." Shiina nodded.

"..." Ritsu was surprised since she didn't expect that this shop was owned by Maiko's parents. She suddenly felt that the world was quite small for some reason.

"Alright." Shishio nodded and said, "Senpai, Mashiro, let's go inside."

Ritsu and Shiina nodded and followed inside, and when they entered, they saw a man and a woman. The woman had a similar feature to Maiko, and she dressed simply with a pair of jeans, pants, white clothes, and short brown hair, but even though she resembled Maiko, she was older, and it could be easily seen that she was Maiko's mother, and on the other hand, the man was wearing glasses and his hair was combed neatly. He also had a mustache, giving him a dandy feeling.

When they observed the man and the woman, the man and the woman also observed them, they had to admit that Shiina and Ritsu were very beautiful, but as for Ritsu, they had known her since she often came here and as for Shiina, they didn't really know well, but they wanted to pamper her somehow, but when they saw Shishio, they looked at him thoughtfully since it was rare for them to see such a handsome young man, or rather, it might be their first time, then they looked at his hairstyle, and they made a nod together since his hairstyle was very good.

"Oh? You're Maiko's friend?" The man asked since he saw their uniforms were similar to their daughter's.

"Yes." Shishio nodded simply.

"Boyfriend?" The woman looked at Shishio then looked at the two girls who had a change in their expression beside him and said, "I guess not, huh?" She then looked at Ritsu and asked, "Kawai, are you going to cut your hair again?" She looked at Ritsu and asked, but before Ritsu responded, Maiko who had returned quickly cut Ritsu's words.

"Mom, Dad, I'm going to cut Shishio's hair!" Maiko said as she entered the door.

"No." 2x

Maiko's parents said without hesitation.

"Why?" Maiko was in grief and really wanted to trim Shishio's long hair somehow.

"It's not why, you're not even a hairdresser, how can we let you touch his hair?" The woman said.

Maiko pouted, but she didn't say much. "Th - Then I'll wash his hair."

"Well, that's alright." The woman looked at her daughter and asked, "Why are you so eager? This boy has two girls on his side, do you want to be the third one?"

"How can you say something like that to your daughter?!" Maiko blushed and felt angry at her mother.

"Cough! Cough! There's a customer in front of us, you two shouldn't fight," the man said calmly.

The woman and Maiko nodded and also stopped talking.

The man then looked at the three of them and asked, "So which one of you is going to have a haircut?"

"I am." Shishio raised his hand and said, "I want to have a haircut."

The man nodded and said, "Well, follow me, I'll cut your hair."

The woman looked at Shiina and Ritsu and asked, "How about the two of you? Will you have a haircut too, or wait for him?"

"We will wait for him," Ritsu said and pulled Shiina to the waiting area of this shop, then took a random book, before she started to read again.

Shiina looked around curiously since it was her first time to be in this kind of shop since when she was in the UK, she didn't think too much about her hair and her friend was the one who cut her hair for her, but she was also a girl, so she also wanted to appear beautiful, right?

The woman looked at the two girls, then looked at her daughter. "You really don't have an idea about that boy?"

Maiko twitched her lips and said, "That's Nana's crush, how can I do something to her?"

"Nana? Really?" The woman nodded, looked at Ritsu and Shiina, and said, "Well, both of them are cute girls, so Nana will have a tough opponent." She knew about Nana, after all, Nana was her daughter's friend, and Nana also often cut her hair here.

"That's true." Maiko nodded while looking at Shiina and Ritsu.

"Still, I have thought that your little boy's hobby is cured, but..." the woman sighed. She was glad that her daughter was obedient, but her little hobby was a bit too much.

"...." The corner of Maiko's lips twitched.

"Well, it doesn't really matter, but just don't let a man ruin your friendship, alright?" The woman then looked at her daughter.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Maiko asked with shock.

"I'm your mother, that's all you need to know." The woman patted Maiko's shoulder and continued with the preparation of the salon.

"........" Maiko looked at her mother's back with a complex expression, but she didn't say much, then looked at the sinful man that was talking with her father. She shook her head and thought that it was better to talk with Ritsu and Shiina to know about them more so she could know Nana's opponents better, still, in truth, she was just bored and thought that it might be a good time to talk with both of them while waiting for Shishio to end his haircut since she wanted to wash his hair.

But before that...

'Should I tell Nana and Mea?'

---

After he took off his blazer, Shishio was sitting on the chair and looked at his reflection in the mirror.

The man looked at Shishio's features from the mirror and nodded, and had to admit that Shishio was very handsome. "What kind of haircut do you want?"

"Well, I want to cut it short," Shishio said.

"Huh? Short? Are you sure? You have grown your hair so long," the man asked in surprise.

"Yes." Shishio nodded and said, "Just cut the sides and back short, as for in the middle part, don't cut it so short, let it be a bit longer so I have bangs that I can sweep to the side, middle, or slicked back with a gel, or a pomade."

The man listened to Shishio's words and visualized the haircut that Shishio had asked for in his mind. He nodded and said, "Yeah, I guess that kind of hairstyle is suitable for you, but it is rare for a young man like you to ask for that kind of hairstyle. "

"Is it so rare?" Shishio asked.

"Yeah." The man nodded and said, "Most young men want to have long hair like those hosts (a staff hired to sit, pour drinks and talk to customers in a bar/lounge type establishment called a host) since they think that it is handsome, but in truth, only a handsome guy can pull off that hairstyle."

"...." Shishio.

"As for your hairstyle, only those old guys who will ask that kind of hairstyle, is that alright?" The man asked, after all, what Shishio asked was quite an uncommon hairstyle in 2005, and only some old guys who asked that kind of hairstyle.

"It's alright, long hair is very troublesome, after all, and the hairstyle that I have asked for is quite convenient for me. It can also be styled in various styles too," Shishio said.

"Oh? Do you know about haircuts?" The man asked.

"Just a little," Shishio said.

The man smiled and asked, "If your hairstyle fails, what are you going to do?"

"I'll cut it in a buzz cut," Shishio said simply.

The man nodded and said, "That's true, even if you have a buzz cut, you'll still be very handsome."

"....." Shishio.

"But don't worry, under my hand, you won't have a bad haircut," the man said confidently.

"Then I'll leave it in your hands." Shishio nodded.

"Good." The man nodded then asked, "By the way, boy, what's your name?"

"Shishio Oga."

"So Oga-kun, you're not my daughter's boyfriend, right?"

"........"

Shishio saw the man's reflection in the mirror and somehow the man's face was like a "Hannya mask", smiling, but there was burning anger on his face that told him that if he was really dating his daughter, then he might cut him at the wrong place.

"Can you answer me, Oga-kun?" The man asked again with a smile.

"..........." Shishio.

Shishio just wanted to cut his hair, but why was it so troublesome?
