I Refuse To Become Scumbag In Tokyo

Chapter 517: Is it fun?

Out of many people in Tokyo, the chances of meeting someone on the street were huge.

Partly because while this city was huge, it didn’t mean it was that enormous. The people in this city also walked quite seldom to places they had never visited. Instead, they only went to a famous place, near the house, or near the place they work.

After all, during their busy time, no one really wanted to waste their time.

Still, it was also the reason why Shishio didn’t feel surprised to meet someone in this place since the place he came from was a famous department store, but out of all the people he knew, why should he meet this woman?

“Shishio?” Even Shioriko was curious about who called her son’s first name. Calling someone’s first name meant the relationship between the two was good, and her expression was quite subtle when she saw it was a beautiful young woman who called her son’s name.

While Shiroiko felt slightly complex, she felt relief since she knew her delusional son had been cured and wondered whether this young woman was his son’s girlfriend. Still, she looked at her son, wondering whether he liked an older woman.

On the other hand, Shishio’s expression was so uncomfortable since he didn’t expect to meet this woman.

Yukinoshita Haruno.

Haruno, without hesitation, walked to Shishio and even hugged him before she whispered, “I don’t expect you to become a gigolo, Shishio-kun.” When she was walking around the department store, she didn’t expect to see this scene which made her face turn black. She knew his parents were in Kyoto, and the fact he was with an attractive beautiful lady at midday, caused her to think about many plots that usually happened in the movie.

Haruno also somehow didn’t feel surprised if Shishio became a gigolo, considering his face and all. She stared at him with an unkind face and wanted to beat him up somehow. However, his following words caused her to be at a loss.

“…”

Shishio was speechless and slapped her hand away. While the feeling on her breasts was nice, this misunderstanding was too much. “She’s my mother.”

“…”

Haruno was dumbfounded before she looked at Shioriko, who also looked at her curiously. She quickly showed off her perfect smile, which she trained for many years, and greeted his mother politely. “Hello, Mam. My name is Yukinoshita Haruno. I am your son’s…” She glanced at Shishio subtly and said with a bright smile, “Good friend. Ah, by the way, you can call me Haruno, mam.”

“…” Shishio.

“Hello, nice to meet you, Haruno-san.” Shioriko nodded with a gentle smile, then asked, “Yukinoshita? Is that Yukinoshita?”

“Yes.” Haruno nodded and said, “I have heard you from my mother.”

“I see.” Shioriko looked at her son, then Haruno again. “Your mother is kind to us.”

The two started talking to each other about many things, but Shishio’s expression turned weird since it was the first time he knew his parents were close to the parents of Yukino and Haruno. However, he didn’t feel surprised somehow since he knew the circle of the rich people was rather small, so it was normal for everyone to know each other.

Still, Shishio looked at Haruo weirdly since this woman usually would show a fake smile that would defeat any super salesmen in the world, but right now, her smile was so pure, and she was genuinely happy when she met his mother.

His expression became subtle and weird, but he was also in doubt.

‘Why are our parents so close with each other?’

While Shishio didn’t really want to brag, he knew his family’s influence over this country. While it was okay, it wasn’t that powerful. After all, his family was a family of officials, and while there was some business, it wasn’t some top-class business that could shake the entire country.

Lastly, the number of his family was quite huge, but of course, his father was one of the most excellent ones since his father was a director of a huge bank.

According to his understanding, Yukinoshita’s family had a real estate and a construction business. This type of business needs the liability the most. In other words, cash. It is impossible to work for this company alone without the help of the bank.

Shishio thought it was natural for his father and Yukinishita’s family to know each other.

Still, watching his mother and Haruno, who seemed to be excited, genuinely, without pretending to have fun, Shishio became even weirder, and he felt something was happening without him knowing it. However, he felt it was just him being overthought, so he just threw this matter aside, especially after Haruno offered to bring them on tour around Tokyo.

After all, Haruno brought the car, and they were able to take a trip easily, without the need to take a taxi.

Shioriko was also happy to accept Haruno’s offer since even if she was alright to take a taxi, it would be quite expensive. As for a train, while a shinkansen was alright, she didn’t really want to take a normal train.

Still, it wouldn’t be weird if his father prepared a driver for her mother, so she could go around Tokyo with ease, but it might be because she was quite frugal with money, considering how she didn’t want to spend her money on unimportant matters.

Shishio wasn’t sure where his mother got this habit from, but it might be related to when she was in her university time?

After all, unlike his father, who came from a distinguished family, his mother came from a normal family. If there was something special about his mother’s family, it was probably because her uncle was a famous painter, and most of her family worked in the art sector.

His mother might have also worked in the art sector before, but she became a housewife after she married.

Shishio looked at his mother and thought his father was quite lucky. After all, even if his mother’s personality was quite strong, she was docile in front of her husband, which made him sigh.

Still, if only his mother didn’t tell his secret before he became a high school student, he would be happier to have her as his mother.

“Mom!”

Shioriko and Haruno laughed together and were so close right now, making him speechless.

The two walked together and checked many things together, shopping.

As for him, what could he do?

Shishio could only lower his position as a gofer right now. When he sighed, Haruno approached him and said with a smile, “Still, I don’t expect you were like that in your middle school time.”

“Everyone has their ideal self. I was just a kid back then, and it was fun to act onto my ideal self.” Shishio felt there was nothing wrong with being a Chuunibyou since being someone you weren’t made you feel good.

However, hearing his answer, Haruno was silent for a while, staring at Shishio in a daze, before she smiled. “So, have you gotten tired of acting?”

Shishio looked at Haruno for a while and wasn’t sure what to say for a while since he knew this young woman in front of her had always been masking and acting, but this was her way of life. They might be close, but he didn’t think it was good of him to comment on her way of life.

Haruno had been choosing this way of life, and she stuck toward it even now.

Strangely, Shishio felt whether it was Yukinoshita or Haruno, they were similar to each other. He knew it was quite strange to say this. After all, Yukinoshita had always been living in an upright manner, without lying, walking in a straight manner, and ignoring everyone who told her she was walking on the wrong path.

On the other hand, Haruno made everyone follow her, and she stayed in a place, letting them do what she asked them.

Their method might be different, but without a doubt, they walked toward the same destination.

As for which one was harder, it was hard to say.

Shishio only looked at Haruno with a smile before he rubbed her hair gently. “Is there something that you want? I can treat you as a thank you for accompanying my mother.”

“………”

Haruno was in a daze since she didn’t expect she would receive a pat on her head from a boy who was several years younger than her. Well, he might not be a boy any longer, but she must admit it felt weird. It felt strange that she loved this feeling, but also, she was a bit scared somehow since he felt this boy could enter her heart like it was nothing, wrecking her heart apart.

However…

Haruno smiled and thought it was fun. She felt challenged somehow, and she wanted to try what would happen if she fell deeper into this abyss.

“Don’t dodge my question. Let’s see… is it like this?” Haruno acted like she was a Chuunibyou while saying, “I am the queen of the darkness?”

However…

The sound of the camera sounded.

It was part of the law of this country that the phone and the camera couldn’t be muted, and whenever one took a picture with a phone, the sound of the camera would be noticeable.

Instantly, Haruno realized her picture doing an idiotic act was taken!

“I wonder how Yukino-senpai reacts when she sees this?” Shishio said with a smile.

“……..” Haruno was speechless and tried to grab his phone without hesitation. “Delete it!”

The two fought with each other, and if his mother didn’t stop them, they might continue. Still, in the end, he deleted the photo under the persuasion (force) of his mother, which gave Haruno a smug expression and hugged his mother intimately.

“……..” Shishio.

The three had fun together, but they didn’t notice a certain blonde-haired boy happened to see them with a complicated gaze.

In the end, the fun time ended quickly.

Haruno sent him and his mother to the hotel before she left while also exchanging contact info with his mother.

“……..” Shishio.

When Haruno left, Shishio and his mother entered the hotel together.

“Haruno-chan is a good girl,” Shioriko said while looking at her son, wondering what kind of expression he would show when she asked this question.

“I know.” Shishio nodded and calmly said, “But if you want her to become my wife, it’ll be hard since it is impossible for me to become the son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family. Come on. Let’s enter.”

Unlike Yukino, the future of the Yukinoshita family was on Haruno’s shoulders. It was also the reason why she had to act, especially when everyone had an expectation of her.

Whether Haruno was sad, crying, depressed, or many others, she couldn’t show it and had to mask it with her smile.

That way of life was suffocating, and it was impossible for him to do that.

However, under responsibility and expectation, it was a path that Haruno had to take, and she also had chosen this path.

Shishio wasn’t sure what kind of man that would be by Haruno’s side, but he knew the man wouldn’t be in the dominant position if he dated Haruno.

On the other hand, Shishio felt Yukinoshita was several times cuter.

“………”

Shioriko stared at her son’s back in a daze before quickly chasing after him since she realized her son was more mature than she had thought!

“Shishio! Wait for mom!”
