I'm Mineta

The morning of Sakurasou returned to peaceful as usual, but as expected, something always happened.

Sayaka ate the sausage that Misaki cooked. She didn't know the one who cooked it was Misaki, so...

"Hmm... Shishio-kun's sausage is delicious ~~." Sayaka licked the tip of the sausage before she gently bit the tip.

"...."

Mayumi shook her head and said, "Sayaka, that isn't Shishio's sausage."

"Huh?" Sayaka was surprised then looked at Mayumi with curiosity. "What do you mean?"

"His sausage is much bigger! Like this! It's standing hard toward the sky!" Mayumi raised her fist to the sky, showing a disdain for the small sausage that Sayaka ate.

"Eh? Really? That big?" Sayaka exclaimed.

"SHUT UP!!!" Chihiro roared as her face flushed.

"Chihiro, you don't need to be that shy, right? Isn't it good that your nephew's sausage is huge?" Mayumi said with a smile.

Shishio stared at Mayumi and Sayaka with a smile, then said, "Mayumi-san, Sayaka-san, do you want me to report both of you for sėxuȧŀ harassment?"

"....."

"Cough! Cough!" Sayaka then looked at Mayumi and asked, "But Mayumi-san, how did you know Shishio-kun's sausage?"

"....." Shishio.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Chihiro frowned while looking at Mayumi in doubt.

Mayumi was as calm as usual, then said, "Well, I'm not the only one who has seen it. Mashiro, Ricchan, Misaki, and Roberta also have seen his sausage."

"...." Everyone.

Chihiro looked at Shishio, frowned, and asked, "Shishio, do you have an exhibitionist hobby?"

"....."

Shishio's lips twitched, but suddenly his shoulder was patted. He turned around and saw Shiro-san give him a thumbs up.

"Welcome," Shiro-san said with a smile.

"..."

Shishio somehow wanted to slap Shiro-san at this moment and wondered whether it was a good decision to stay in this place. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerve, and said, "Chihiro-nee, at that time, when your friends had called me to pick you up at the ramen stall, the five of them had entered the bathroom directly when I'd taken a bath so..." He couldn't bear to continue his story since he knew that he had been violated. He wondered why when boys peeked at the girls, they could enter the jail, but no one would say anything if the girls peeked at the guy. He felt that even though the world often talked about gender equality, in truth, there had never been equality between different genders.

Hearing such a sad story, Chihiro then stared at the five women who had seen her nephew's body. "You guys...!" She only heard this story now, and she was wondering why she was away when such a good thing happened. After all, she also wanted to see Shishio's body again since she remembered it was so good.

Unlike Misaki, Mayumi, Roberta, and Shiina, who were alright and didn't care much, Ritsu's face was as red as an apple, and she apologized again. "I'm sorry, Oga-kun."

"No, it is alright, Senpai. It has happened anyway. There's nothing that I can do," Shishio said as he looked at Ritsu, who seemed to be alright. Of course, he wasn't blind and could see that she had feelings for him, considering her indirect confession yesterday, but it seemed that she was alright now.

'But is that the case?'

Shishio wasn't sure, but he knew that Ritsu didn't know the truth that he was dating more than one girl, and he had a feeling that she might react quite exaggeratedly when she heard the truth. However, he didn't want to lie about this matter. It might be comfortable, and he was free of worry if he didn't say anything, but he knew that he couldn't hide this matter. He still wanted to maintain his relationship with Ritsu, especially when she dared to tell her real feelings to him yesterday, so he also needed to face her and tell the truth.

"Um..." Ritsu looked at Shishio, and somehow her face was red, but she quickly shook her head and knew that it was impossible between the two since he already had a girlfriend by his side.

Shishio was about to eat again, but then the sleeve of his shirt was tucked. He turned his head and looked at Shiina. "Mashiro, what's wrong?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Shishio," Shiina said without hesitation.

"....." Everyone.

Shishio looked at Shiina amusedly and patted her head. "Well, you should be able to take care of yourself first if you want to take care of me."

"No." Shiina shook her head and said, "Shishio is going to be the one who is taking care of me."

"....."

Shishio looked at Shiina and thought that this girl was really able to say something that could get stuck into his heart directly.

'I'll take care of you, so you'll take care of me, huh?'

Their existence complemented each other. They were complete when they were together.

Shishio thought that he was the only one who could say an embarrassing line, but he didn't expect that Shiina could say such an embarrassing line. He was about to say something, but Sorata entered the dining room suddenly.

Sorata looked at everyone who was eating together with a happy smile and couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable at this moment. He then also looked at Shishio and Shiina, who were very close to each other, and couldn't help but frown since he remembered that he had told them that Shishio had a girlfriend.

'Well, let me talk about this matter again.'

Sorata showed a smug smile and said, "Oga-kun, congratulations that you have a girlfriend now."

"....."

All the females in this place quickly frowned at Sorata since they didn't want to discuss this matter, and everything was alright until this guy suddenly came, which made them very annoyed!

Shiro-san didn't say anything and only shook his head.

Shishio looked at Sorata with a smile and said, "Thank you, Kanda-kun. How about you? Do you have a girlfriend now?" If he was a normal scumbag, then he would be flustered, but he wasn't, and he had never hidden the fact that he had a girlfriend, after all.

"Ugh!" Sorata felt that an arrow was pierced by an invisible arrow when Shishio asked this question.

"Shishio-kun, Mashiron, Ricchan, we've eaten the food. Let's go to school together!" Misaki chirped.

Shishio, Ritsu, and Shiina nodded.

They washed their dishes, then said goodbye to everyone before leaving Sakurasou together.

Mayumi and Chihiro also weren't in the mood to eat, and they also walked out from the dining room.

As for Sayaka, she thought it was boring to stay with both Shiro-san and Sorata alone, so she also walked out since she wanted to prepare for her class later.

Shiro-san, who was being left alone with Sorata, wasn't sure what to say for a moment. After all, he was a very kind person, even though he was a pervert, but he could tell that Sorata was simply causing trouble. "Well, Kanda-kun, I'll go back to my room to continue to write."

"Oh - oh!"

Sorata didn't expect Shiro-san to leave suddenly.

As for Ryuunosuke, had already left quietly when Shishio and the girls walked out from the dining room.

Sorata looked at how empty this place was, and he couldn't clench his fist, but rather, he could only sit on the chair weakly, feeling how alone he was in this place. He was thinking of reducing his loneliness with his cats, but he remembered that almost all of his cats had been adopted, leaving only Hikari, but...

"Hikari!" Sorata called Hikari, but she didn't come toward him, which made him annoyed, wondering why he picked this cat up. Forgetting the fact that no one was forcing him to pick up the cat.

Sometimes humans are like that. When they help someone, they will expect something in return.

Sorata then could only spend his time alone in this dining room, and somehow, he just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.

---

Shishio, Shiina, Misaki, and Ritsu walked together to the school.

Ritsu observed Shishio secretly and couldn't help but feel shaken when she saw him so naturally standing up on the side of their group without saying anything so they wouldn't be hit by a vehicle. She had noticed it for a while and knew that he often helped and supported them without noticing it, which made her both warm and sad.

Ritsu felt warm by his gentleness, but she felt sad since she knew that gentleness was something that couldn't belong to her.

"Kawai-senpai," Shishio suddenly said.

"Huh?" Ritsu was startled when her name was called Shishio.

"I thought about your words yesterday," Shishio said.

Ritsu's face became red, and she panicked. "Please forget about it!" When she thought calmly, what she had said yesterday was so embarrassing that she might die!

"No, I won't forget it." Shishio looked at Ritsu and said, "I'll remember it forever, the things that we have always taken for granted, I'll treasure it forever."

"....." Ritsu couldn't look away from Shishio at this moment, and her face flushed at this moment. "Um." She nodded, but then she asked, "Oga-kun, can I ask you something?"

"Yes?"

"You said that you really understand what I said yesterday, but did you really understand?" Ritsu asked.

Shiina and Misaki didn't say anything and listened to the conversation between Ritsu and Shishio quietly.

"Yes." Shishio nodded and said, "The day when the four of us can't be together, it'll come in the future."

"..." Ritsu, Shiina, and Misaki were silent and couldn't help but feel slightly depressed.

"Certainly, most likely, we won't be able to remain as we are." Shishio looked up and said, "Times can be gentle, and times can be harsh because times change. But... at least for me, the current times aren't bad at all. After all, I have three beautiful girls to walk and go back to the school with me." He smiled when he uttered those words.

Ritsu, Shiina, and Misaki were blushing.

"Getting stuck on the happy things of the past and losing sight of the happy things of now is such a waste." Shishio closed his eyes and is enjoying his time now. "Not "It was so fun that time," but "that time was fun, too." He looked at the three of them who were looking at him in a daze and said, "I'm sure that those happy things are not something you can compare, but what I want to say is the thing you think are fun now, enjoy them as much as possible. Because the "now" will change, let's appreciate this wonderful time to its fullest, right?"

Ritsu looked at Shishio, and somehow everything on her head was cleared. Everyone couldn't stay the same forever, so she needed to enjoy "now" as much as possible. She took a deep breath then stared at Shishio. "Oga-kun, no, Shishio-kun."

Shishio was surprised and asked, "What's wrong, Ritsu-senpai?"

Ritsu's face was red when she called his first name, but she loved it when she could call him this way, so...

"An embarrassing line is prohibited!"

"...." Shishio.

"Wonderful!!!" Misaki was full of smiles and hugged the three of them at the same time. "I should go to the school with you three from the beginning!" She had never thought that it would be so nice to walk with the three of them.

"Sen - Senpai, let go!" Ritsu was very embarrassed, especially when Misaki pressed her bȯȯbs on her face!

Shiina was in a daze as usual, but there was a bright smile on her face.

Shishio was a bit helpless, but he didn't say anything since he would be lying if he didn't have fun, but he felt slightly jealous of Ritsu and Shiina since Misaki's bȯȯbs were pressed on their face.

"Right, the three of you are part of the literature club, right? Can I come? Shishio-kun, can we talk about your script at the club later?" Misaki asked while looking at Shishio.

"I don't mind, and I'm sure that everyone won't mind if you're coming to visit," Shishio said.

"Yay~~." Misaki was pleased.

"But."

"But?"

"I might not be able to come to the club today since I have something to do later," Shishio said.

"....."

Looking at their disappointed expression, there was nothing that Shishio could do. After all, he had promised Rui a favor, not the perverted one, of course.
