I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo Chapter 176: Consequences

Chapter 176: Consequences

"Morning."

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o entered the cla.s.sroom and greeted his cla.s.smates. His relations.h.i.+p with his cla.s.smates wasn't very distant, but it wasn't that close.

"Good morning, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o!" Maiko greeted with a smile, making a salute-like gesture.

"Thanks for the animal plus.h.i.+es yesterday, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o. My sister likes it," Mea said with a smile, thinking how happy her sister was yesterday.

"Good morning, Maiko." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o nodded, then looked at Mea. "No problem, if you want it again, just tell me."

"Really?" Mea was surprised.

"Well, as long as I'm free, though." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o then noticed Nana, who sat on her seat, resting her head on the desk, and somehow he could see that her mood wasn't good. "Nana, what's wrong?"

Nana didn't answer s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's question and seemed to be in a daze.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o raised his eyebrow then looked at Maiko and Mea. "What's wrong with her?"

Both of them shook their heads at the same time.

"I don't know. She's been like that since this morning," Maiko said with some worry.

Mea looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and asked, "It might be because of you."

"My fault?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o raised his eyebrow and didn't remember that he had done something to Nana. He thought about what he had done yesterday and thought about his confession to Saki. He thought for a while and felt a bit weird. 'Has Saki told Nana about the confession?' He remembered that the relations.h.i.+p between Nana and Saki became very close to each other after he left them for a while in the clubroom. He didn't know what they were talking about, but he would be lying if he wasn't curious.

Still, that wasn't the problem now, and what s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o needed to know was the cause of Nana's state.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o walked closer to Nana and called her out. "Nana."

"..."

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o didn't receive a response, so he gently shook her shoulder and called her out again. "Nana."

"Ah!" When her shoulder was shaken, Nana heard her name being called out clearly, and when she turned her head, she was stunned when she saw him very close. "Sh - s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o!"

"What's wrong?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked in concern.

"Nothing." Nana smiled and shook her head.

Looking at her forced smile, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o frowned and really wondered what had happened to her. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, you don't need to worry. Just... just give me a little time now, can you?" Nana said while trying to maintain her smile before resting her head on the table again. When she thought about her conversation with Saki last night, she might not be able to stop her tears when she saw him, and she might lash him out by calling him a liar.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at Nana for a while, then said, "I'm not sure what has made you like this, but if you don't tell me, I won't understand, so I hope when you feel better, we can talk together." He knew that her reaction was a normal consequence of what he was doing, and he didn't regret this since he knew that it would happen, but he didn't like being ignored like this. However, he also wouldn't move first since he didn't know the detailed information of what really had happened, so he would need to bear this treatment until he knew everything.

"..." Nana didn't answer him, ignoring him, laying on the table without saying anything, trying to hold her tears by biting her lips.

Looking at Nana and s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o, Mea and Maiko looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do, but one thing for sure, they knew that this b.a.s.t.a.r.d was the cause of their best friend's sadness. So they looked at each other for a while, then nodded before walking toward Nana.

"Nana, do you want to see these little boys' photos?" Maiko asked with a hippy smile.

"Yes, I know a good place where there is a cute little boy. Do you want to come with us later?" Mea said with a smile.

"....." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Nana.

---

The cla.s.s wouldn't wait for the relations.h.i.+p of both s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Nana to become better. They had a physical education cla.s.s in the morning, so s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o went to change his uniform with the other guys in the locker room.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o took off his clothes, but then Usa and Tagami were amazed by his body. He noticed their glances and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Usa quickly shook his head.

"Oga, your body is amazing, right? How do you make it?" Tagami asked while observing s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's body.

"Working out. Going to the gym then you can naturally have a body like mine. Your body is thin, which makes it easier for you to build muscle," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said simply.

"Really?" Tagami was surprised, and when he thought that he had a body like s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o, then wouldn't he become popular?

"Really." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o nodded without hesitation since he told the truth. Tagami and Usa had skinny bodies, and with such a body, it would be very easy for them to form muscle-like abs on their stomach. But, looking at two simple guys, who started to imagine themselves becoming popular with a muscular body, he could only shake his head and patted their backs. "You can dream later. Let's go."

"....." Tagami and Usa blushed at this moment but then quickly chased after s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o.

"Wait, Oga!" 2x

---

In the female locker room, Nana was thinking about what she should do at this moment since she just didn't know and there was no way that she could consult her problem to both Mea and Maiko since she was sure that both of them would say that she was wrong, but it was her feeling. She knew that it wasn't his fault, but she just couldn't help it, and she also didn't expect that it would be so painful just to love someone, especially when she wasn't chosen.

"Say, Nana, what's wrong?" Mea asked with concern.

"Just what happened? Did that b.a.s.t.a.r.d hurt you?" Maiko asked directly with a frown.

"Nothing." Nana shook her head and said with a smile, "You don't need to worry. Anyway, the cla.s.s is going to start soon. Let's go!" She had finished changing her uniform and quickly pulled her two friends out together.

Mea and Maiko could only sigh helplessly.

The three of them walked out from the changing room, and they happened to meet s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o, Tagami, and Usa.

"Nana!" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o quickly called Nana out, but when Mea and Maiko noticed s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o, they quickly snorted and pulled Nana away from him.

"...."

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at the three girls and thought that he should slap their b.u.t.ts later.

"What's wrong?" Tagami asked in wonder. He knew how close the relations.h.i.+p between s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Nana was, so he wondered why they seemed to be in a fight.

"Your relations.h.i.+p with Sunohara-san was still pretty good yesterday, right? We played in the arcade together, after all," Usa said with wonder.

"What?! Have you played in the arcade?! Why didn't you invite me?! I want to play too!" Tagami felt that he had been betrayed, and he was in tears at this moment, wondering why he was being left out.

Usa wasn't sure what to say and quickly looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at Usa helplessly and patted Tagami's shoulder gently. "Sorry, sorry, yesterday as part of the club activity, and our advisor teacher was also there. So if we'd invite you, who isn't part of the club, then what do you think will happen? Our teacher might feel that we're quite irresponsible, right?"

"Well..." Tagami nodded and felt that what s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o was saying was the truth.

"There are still a lot of chances to go together in the future. We can go to karaoke or something together," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said without thinking.

"Good! If you come, then the girls will also come too!" Tagami said without hesitation in a smile.

'....This guy.' Looking at Tagami, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o felt that this guy was quite smart, right?

---

The students started to gather together on the field, but s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o didn't expect to see Futaba among the group of students. However, it wasn't that surprising, considering two cla.s.ses would do the P.E. cla.s.s together. He also saw a guy with lifeless eyes near Futaba, but he didn't feel surprised, considering how the friends.h.i.+p between the two would be formed naturally. However, rather than thinking about Futaba, it was better to think about how to handle Nana.

Futaba also noticed s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o, and she wasn't sure what to do, but when she saw him smiling at her, greeting her with a nod, she also nodded hurriedly.

"Futaba, you know Oga-san?"

Futaba turned and saw a guy that she asked randomly. She was an outcast in cla.s.s, and a loner, which was why she didn't hesitate to talk with another loner in her cla.s.s, and that was how they knew each other. So she looked at him and asked, "You know him, Azusagawa?"

The guy's name was Azusagawa Sakuta, and he was in the same cla.s.s as Futaba. Similarly, he was also an outcast, but unlike Futaba, who rejected everyone since it was her comfort zone, the reason why he became one was that his middle school cla.s.smate spread a rumor about him who had beaten up several high school students during his middle school time when in truth, an accident happened and made him needed to stay in the hospital. However, even if the rumor was wrong, he didn't try to fight it since he knew how useless it was to fight against the atmosphere, especially when he saw the rejection on their faces at that time.

But even if Sakuta was an outcast, he couldn't help but sigh, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes when he saw s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o. "Isn't that obvious? The girls in the cla.s.s are talking about him all the time. Even if I don't want to, I'll know him."

"Well, that's true." Futaba nodded perfunctorily, but then, she raised her eyebrow when she saw s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o talking with a girl from his cla.s.s.

Looking at Futaba, Sakuta could only shake his head since he felt that it would be tough for her to become s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o's girlfriend, considering how many girls had always been beside s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o. Still, he also understood now why s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o was very popular.

---

"Oga-kun."

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o turned his head and saw Nanami. "Aoyama-san."

"Thank you for the onigiris before." Nanami bowed her head lightly and thanked s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o. "I'll wash the bento box later before I return it to you."

"You don't need to think too much. You also don't need to wash it," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said helplessly, wondering why the people in this country loved to bow their heads that much.

"No, no, I can't do that!" Nanami shook her head. Then she asked, "By the way, Oga-kun, can I ask you a question?"

"What's wrong?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked.

"Are you fighting with Sunohara-san?" Nanami asked in doubt since she saw both s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Nana didn't talk much after she came to the cla.s.s. Usually, she would see them flirting with each other, so when she saw them in silence, she felt that it was strange and couldn't get used to it for a while, but she wondered whether she was a bad girl since she felt slightly happy.

"Why do you ask?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked.

"No, nothing, I was just wondering what was happening..." Nanami said in a low voice and lowered her head slightly. "You have helped me after all, so I have thought to help you if you have trouble...."

Hearing Nanami's words, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o was a bit surprised, but then he noticed Sorata, who was glancing at both of them while gritting their teeth, then he also noticed Nana, who was looking at him. So he also looked at her and smiled at her.

Nana was stunned and blushed before she quickly looked away and snorted.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o shook his head and looked at Nanami again. "You don't need to worry, Aoyama-san. She just loves to play a game from time to time."

"Game?" Nanami tilted her head and felt confused.

"Well, you don't need to think too much for now. By the way, how is your voice acting school? I'm a bit curious about it," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said and changed the subject of the conversation. Still, he was really curious about the voice acting industry since, unlike in his country, the voice acting in this country was very well developed after all.

"Oh! Are you interested in voice acting, Oga-kun? Let me tell you that..." Nanami nodded and told s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o about the various matters regarding the voice acting school with a smile, showing how excited she was.

Listening to Nanami's story, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o had to admit that Sorata was quite lucky to have Nanami fall for him in the original story. As for now, he wasn't sure since he hadn't confirmed Nanami's feelings. Still, he felt that Nanami might have forgotten Sorata now, which was a great thing.
