I'm Mineta

"Welcome to Sakurasou!"

Chihiro, Misaki, Ritsu, Mayumi, and Sayaka welcomed Nanami together.

Strangely, Shiro-san didn't join, but when Shishio asked where Shiro-san was, they told him that Shiro-san was on a journey on the research of his new novel.

'Being a novelist is nice.'

Shishio felt that being a novelist was great since they had a lot of free time, and they didn't need to waste their time on a tiresome interpersonal relationship. They could also enjoy their life freely and had quite nice sums of money.

If someone asked if there was a disadvantage of being a novelist, then it was at how they worked at home, so their neighbor thought of them as weird or unemployed since, unlike most people who would go to the office to work, novelists didn't need to do that and holed up in their room, writing most of the time or doing research, so it was normal for them to misunderstand. Also, it wasn't a stable job since no novelist could be so sure that their works would become a big hit, so they could only live in borderline poverty if they didn't have a support or side job.

Shishio thought that it might also be the reason why most novelists didn't write about their main job as a novelist. Instead, their job as a novelist was just a side job, not their main one.

"Tha - thank you very much!" Nanami said in a blush, feeling quite happy when everyone welcomed her together.

"Alright, Shishio, you prepare for the welcome party. As for the rest, can you help Aoyama to move her things?" Chihiro asked.

"Aye, aye, sir!" Misaki saluted.

Ritsu nodded and helped Nanami.

"Well, Nanami, I'll leave you first," Shishio said.

"Ah, I'll help you too, Shishio-kun," Nanami quickly said when she heard that Shishio was going to prepare her welcoming party.

Shishio stared at Nanami speechlessly and said, "We're going to prepare your welcoming party. If you help me, then it isn't your party, right?"

"..." Nanami blinked her eyes, but then she said, "But..." She was her maid, and Shishio also had paid her, and if she let him do this, what was the use of paying her?

"Just today, alright? You're also busy sorting out your luggage, right? Tomorrow, you can make me breakfast and take care of my chores," Shishio said.

"Well..." Nanami could only nod at Shishio reluctantly before she moved her things to her room quickly so she could help him as soon as possible. Luckily with the help of everyone, she could move all of the things faster.

"Let's go, Nanamin!" Misaki said as she carried Nanami's luggage.

"Ah, wait for a moment, Kamiigusa-senpai!" Nanami cried out.

"Call me Misaki from now on, Nanamin!"

"Ah, wait, my - my pȧntɨės are scattered on the ground! Please stop Kamiigusa-senpai!"

"Wow, Nanamin, you have leopard print pȧntɨės! How bold!" Misaki held Nanami's leopard print pȧntɨės in surprise, raising them up to the sky.

"....." Ritsu, Shiina, and Roberta were also surprised, thinking that this quiet girl was bolder than they had thought.

Chihiro, Mayumi, and Sayaka looked at Nanami thoughtfully, thinking that the quiet girl was always the ŀėwd one.

"KAMIIGUSA-SENPAI!!!" Nanami was almost crying, her face as red as a boiled lobster. She then grabbed her pȧntɨės from Misaki and quickly turned toward Shishio. "Shishio-kun, did you see them?"

"Sorry, what did you say? I had been talking with Mayumi-san about a theory of relativity, so I didn't know what had happened," Shishio said with an innocent expression.

"What the heck is the theory of relativity?" Mayumi looked at Shishio, who was so shameless at that moment.

"....."

Shishio noticed Nanami kept staring at him, and he could only sigh and say, "I saw them."

"....." Nanami.

"Don't worry, it is in Osaka's people's blood wants to be flashier," Shishio said calmly. Luckily, Shiro-san wasn't here, and Ryuunosuka was in his room, so the only male in this place was him. "Still, it's a nice choice."

Nanami's face was so red before she quickly ran away to her room.

"..."

"Oga-kun, as a gentleman, you should keep quiet in that situation and pretend not to see anything, you know?" Sayaka tried to reprimand Shishio.

Shishio also knew that he was wrong, but he didn't think that he was wrong since his relationship with Nanami was close, so even if he had a perverted joke subtly, it would make their relationship closer. "Well, I will apologize to her later."

He didn't waste his time and went to the kitchen to cook, but Chihiro stopped him and asked, "Shishio, what's your relationship with Aoyama?" She felt weird since she could see that the relationship between Shishio and Nanami wasn't just a normal classmate, but more than that.

"..."

"I hired her," Shishio said since he didn't have anything to hide.

"You hire her?!" Chihiro, Sayaka, and Mayumi were surprised when they heard Shishio's words.

"I hired her as my maid," Shishio said.

"......" Chihiro.

Mayumi looked at Shishio thoughtfully and asked, "Shishio, do you like maids that much?"

"I love them," Shishio said without hesitation.

"..." Chihiro, Sayaka, Mayumi.

"I was joking," Shishio said, but the three women looked at him with a skeptical expression. "Okay, okay, stop looking at me with that kind of expression, and if you keep asking me such a weird question, I can't make dinner, or are you alright with that?"

"Please cook dinner!" 3x

The three women didn't stop him and let him go to the kitchen since they were starving, waiting for him to cook dinner.

"By the way, I saw a thick cut of beef in the kitchen. Are we going to eat that?" Sayaka asked.

"Yes, we're going to eat all-you-can-eat roast beef," Shishio said.

"OHHH!!!"

They were full of excitement at that moment.

"My - my pȧntɨės were seen by Shishio..." Nanami was in her room, holding her leopard print pȧntɨės with a blush on her face. She looked at her pȧntɨės that were given by her friend in Osaka and wondered whether Shishio loved these kinds of pȧntɨės.

"Nanami."

"What's wrong, Mashiro?" Nanami looked at Shiina, who called her out.

"Where did you buy those pȧntɨės?" Shiina asked.

"....."

Nanami had to admit that this place was so unique.

---

After cleaning up Nanami's room, Shiina, Nanami, Misaki, Ritsu, and Roberta walked out to the dining room since they were a bit starving. They stayed for a while in Nanami's room since they talked to each other to get to know each other. They were also quite curious about Osaka, especially when Shishio said that Osaka's people loved to be flashier.

Nanami also didn't hide it since it was the truth that the Osaka people loved to be flashier, but not all of them since she didn't buy her leopard pattern pȧntɨės by herself. Instead, it was a gift from her friend since she moved to Tokyo.

They walked to the dining room and were stunned when a huge piece of meat was in front of Shishio.

"Oh, you're here. Come on. Let's eat," Shishio said.

"You're late! Come on and sit down! We're going to eat roast beef!" Mayumi said hurriedly.

"Roast beef!" Misaki, Ritsu, and Nanami were dumbfounded.

"You all can eat beef, right?" Shishio asked.

"YES!" They said without hesitation.

"Okay, Nanami, I'll give you the first cut," Shishio said.

"Eh? Is that alright?" Nanami asked in surprise.

"It's your welcoming party, after all." Shishio held a carving fork and knife in both of his hands.

"Thank - thank you, Shishio-kun..." Nanami was a bit embarrassed, and she accepted Shishio's offer.

"So, how thick would you want your meat to be?" Shishio asked.

"....." Nanami thought that her welcoming party was amazing.

---

After dinner, they let out a satisfied sigh while patting her stomach gently.

The roast beef that Shishio cooked was so delicious, and it was also so tender that the meat melted directly in their mouths, and as the meat burst, their mouths were full of meat juice, causing them to think that they were drowned in the ocean of beef. But, more importantly, they could choose how thick their cut be, which made them realize how lavish this dinner be.

Nanami knew how good Shishio's cooking ability was and wondered why he asked him to cook.

Chihiro, Mayumi, and Sayaka didn't hesitate and drank red wine since the roast beef was the best paired with red wine.

Still, Shishio was a bit helpless since the three women directly drank and passed out after drinking a lot of wine, but he wasn't that surprised since tomorrow was Saturday, and they were on holiday, so they went all out. As for doing something perverted to them, he didn't have that kind of thoughts since they were drunk, and he didn't have a hobby to do it with someone without their consent.

The other girls cleaned up the dishes, Shiina and Misaki continued with their manga and anime.

Ryuunosuke also returned to his room after he ate with everyone.

Shishio had to admit that Ryuunosuka had made a lot of progress, and Ryuunosuke's anti-social was cured slowly.

Shishio took care of Chihiro, Mayumi, and Sayaka, letting them sleep in the living room, covering them with a blanket with a sigh, staring at the three of them. "You should be more careful, you know? What if I'm a beast and attack you?" He murmured while gently pinching Mayumi's nose, moving it right and left.

"Hmnnh...." Mayumi frowned, showing an uncomfortable expression.

Shishio looked at the three women again, who had just fallen asleep after they ate, wondering whether they didn't feel worried that their belly might stick out later.

"Shishio-kun."

"What's wrong, Senpai?" Shishio looked at Ritsu, who had just cleaned up the dish.

"Is Nanami going to be your maid from now on?" Ritsu asked weirdly.

"Yes, she's working for me now as my maid," Shishio said as he looked at Nanami, who was looking at him with a blush.

Ritsu looked at Shishio for a moment and asked, "Do you like maids?"

"..."

Shishio wondered how many times he would answer this kind of question, but there was no hesitation on his face as he said, "I love them."

"...." Ritsu.

"I was joking, Senpai. By the way, do you want to go to Jinbocho in the future?" Shishio asked to change the subject.

Jimboncho was a place where many used bookstores were centered. Without a doubt, Ritsu would be baited by this offer and would forget the question that she asked before.

"Jinbocho?!" Ritsu was surprised, but then she quickly asked, "When?"

"During Golden Week, if you're free, then let's go there to buy some books," Shishio said.

"Yes!" Ritsu nodded with excitement.

They talked for a bit before Ritsu returned to her room, leaving Shishio alone with Nanami and Roberta.

"Well, Nanami, you should rest first since you have to work tomorrow," Shishio said.

"Um, Shishio-kun, what's my work?" Nanami asked.

"Well, you should cook for me, do laundry, and clean up my room," Shishio said.

"Okay. I'll work hard." Nanami nodded then asked, "Is there something else again?"

Shishio looked at Nanami and asked, "Do you want to help me with anything?"

"Yes, as long as I can do it, I will help you!" Nanami said as she clenched both of her fists.

Looking at Nanami, who showed such an expression, Shishio couldn't help but ask, "Is it okay for you to wash my back when I take a bath?"

"...." Roberta.

"Eh?" Nanami was stunned before her face flushed. "Wh - What?!"

"I was joking," Shishio said calmly. "Still, you don't need to work so hard, and it is enough to just help me with laundry, cleaning, and cooking."

Nanami still couldn't erase her blush and nodded. "Then - then I'll do that, but your food is better than mine, you know? Is it alright?"

"Sometimes I want to go home with a warm meal that someone prepares, you know?" Shishio didn't mind cooking, but if he was asked whether he wanted to cook for someone to let someone cook for him, then he wanted someone to cook for him.

Nanami blinked her eyes then nodded. "Then I'll cook you breakfast tomorrow. Is there something that you want to eat? But I can't cook something like roast beef like you, you know?" She thought that she needed to learn more about cooking in the future.

"Hmm... miso soup, grilled salmon, and an egg can you make that?" Shishio asked.

"I can make that, or rather, isn't that too easy?" Nanami was speechless, thinking that Shishio wanted to eat something complicated, but she didn't expect that he wanted to eat something so simple.

"Well, it's in the morning after all. You don't need to cook something complicated, right?" Shishio smiled gently and said, "I'll go back to my room first since I have something to do. You should also rest first since I'm sure that you're a bit tired now."

"Yes, good night, Shishio-kun," Nanami said with a gentle smile.

Shishio walked out of the living room, and Roberta also followed. He looked at Roberta, who was looking at him, and knew he couldn't do anything to her since she was on her period, but why did she follow him?

Still, Shishio also understood that women had a lot of different holes, so even if she couldn't use one of those holes, she could probably use the different holes to help him.

'Or she might be curious about the theory of relativity?'

Shishio thought that he would explain the theory of relativity tonight to Roberta so she would understand what it was.

Nanami didn't follow them but looked at Shishio's back for a moment and murmured, "I don't mind washing your back, you know?" Her face turned red, and she covered her face with her hands, running back to her room while thinking that she was too bold, right?
