I Refuse To Become Scumbag In Tokyo

Chapter 755: Friend

The happy times have always been short.

After that small escape, they returned to their everyday life.

Rita also returned to England, where he, Shiina, and many others also sent her off to the Haneda airport.

"Next time, you should visit England."

"I will."

"Shishio will meet my parents?"

"Of course."

Shishio knew that there might be a chance he might be killed by Shiina's family, but he was ready since Shiina was important to him. However, he was also quite curious about the hometown of Shiina and Rita.

'Oxford, huh?'

Shiina and Rita had a house in London, but they mostly lived in Oxford, which made him realize that they were rich. This also made him quite confused, wondering why in the original, those two girls fell for two people in Sakurasou.

Ryuunosuke aside, since he was a talented programmer who could even develop his own artificial intelligence and also had a unique personality that believed that he could do anything, Sorata's existence made him confused.

Shishio didn't deny that the girls would fall for the guys even if they weren't rich or handsome, but they should have something which made them different from other men.

If he gave an example, it was like they had a personal trait, which showed that they were a man and they were different. This difference was something that made the female think that they could become the father of their children, their husbands, or the person that could lead them in life.

Still, if that was the case, was Sorata's patheticness, which was different from other men, his charming point?

Or was it because of "yashashi"?

So, being nice while being pathetic to the girls in anime would give them the most beautiful, rich, and talented girls?

"..."

By now, Shishio realized that sometimes a story and an anime misguided many young people, thinking that they could get a harem in the way those harem protagonists did in the story.

Yet, it didn't really matter to him.

Sitting on the bench while eating his mint chocolate ice cream, he realized that he might not be thinking about his system that much now. If it was in the past, he would sleep with his women immediately after he got their hearts, but when he was with Rita before, he didn't do anything except kiss.

Yes, only kissing.

They hadn't had sex since she had to return to England.

Honestly, if he wanted to take down Rita, it was quite easy for him since he could follow her to England, especially when he had a private airplane. If he wanted to go to England, it was only a few days of the trip for him. On his airplane, he could also do it with Rita and enter the mile-high club.

However, he didn't do that and didn't follow her.

Did he plan to change?

Probably.

However, he just didn't want to be in a hurry since sex was a normal thing for him. If he wanted to, he could get it anytime, or maybe, he just wanted to tease her so that when they met, she would become like a wild leopard.

Either way, once she came again, he knew they would do it.

As he ate his ice cream, he saw someone familiar. He smiled and greeted him. "Yo."

"Yo."

Hikigaya didn't sit on the bench first but looked at the vending machine, wondering which ice cream he should choose. He was about to put his money in, but someone beat him first.

"I will treat you. Choose whatever you want."

"What is it? Why are you being kind to me today?" Hikigaya asked suspiciously.

"You don't want to?"

"I have never said that." Hikigaya didn't hesitate and chose the most expensive ice cream, which was a premium Belgium chocolate ice cream. He glanced at Shishio, but his expression didn't change much, which made him sigh, thinking that this was the world of rich. He took his ice cream and opened the package before he sat next to him while eating his ice cream.

"Senpai."

"Hmm?"

"Thanks."

"...why are you thanking me like this?" Hikigaya didn't get weirded out but looked at him in surprise since his gratitude was so sincere.

"Did you forget your text to me at the cultural festival? If you didn't text me..." Shishio's expression became quite gloomy, which caused Hikigaya to want to run away since he felt like he was sitting on the side of a bloodthirsty beast, but suddenly Shishio calmed down. "Still, thank you."

"No, it's okay." Hikigaya took a deep breath and calmed himself, thinking Mitaka wanted to commit suicide. "So, nothing happens, right?"

"Yeah."

"What did that guy plan to do?" Hikigaya might have seen Mitaka several times, especially when that guy was so popular, which made him not have a good impression of Mitaka.

"Rape."

"...are you serious?"

"Do you think I am joking?"

"....." Hikigaya was so glad that he texted Shishio. "It's good that nothing has happened..."

"Yeah, I am glad too."

Hikigaya was a bit nervous, but he asked, "So... what has happened to that guy?" He only remembered that even though the cultural festival had ended and many days had passed, he didn't see Mitaka anymore.

'Wait, don't tell me...'

"I forced him to quit the school."

"Oh..." Unexpectedly, it was more normal than Hikigaya thought, but he knew that with Shishio's power, it was possible.

"Then, I ask someone to perform surgery to turn him into a eunuch."

"...." Hikigaya.

"Lastly, I sent his family to the north."

"North? Why?"

"So, they can become crab fishermen."

"..."

"Are you serious?"

"Which one?"

"Everything!"

Hikigaya thought that this guy was joking, but Shishio shook his head. "It's real. I have the power to do that."

"....."

'Scary! Scary! Scary!'

However, Hikigaya sighed in relief since their relationship was good.

"So, I am glad you have told me since if you don't tell me, then Misaki..." Shishio shook his head and asked, "So, is there something you want? I can grant you anything."

"...even if you say that so suddenly..." Hikigaya was speechless. "Also, can you grant anything? Do you want to pretend to be a god or something?"

"It's not like I am arrogant or anything, but your wish is probably nothing but a mundane thing like money, a woman, or a career. The real gods on the shrine might not be able to grant your wish, but I can."

There was no fluctuation in his words, and it was like he was saying that he had bought a snack at the convenience store. However, he didn't lie since giving those things to Hikigaya was something easy for him.

"....."

Hikigaya opened his mouth before he closed it again. He just didn't know what to say at that moment. He wanted to say it was impossible, but when he thought about what Shishio did to Mitaka, he felt that everything was possible.

This was the power of money.

If this was a Shounen manga, Shishio's power was like Frieza, who could conquer everything.

As for him or Mitaka, Hikigaya felt they should be similar to that helpless human on earth who could do nothing except ask for help from Goku.

"If you don't know what to ask, how about I give you advice?"

"...wh-what is it?" Hikigaya asked with a trembling voice since he was quite nervous.

"You don't want to become a salaryman, right?"

"Yeah, I don't want to." If possible, in the future, Hikigaya didn't want to become a salaryman, which was the most common job in this country. His parents were salarymen, and the rest wasn't much different. While it was the most common job in this country, he didn't want to have such a job, especially when he thought about how he had to drink alcohol to please his superiors, being told to do overwork, work during the holiday, being tasked with unreasonable jobs, or many others, and many others.

If possible, Hikigaya wanted to become a household husband, but when he thought about Totsuka, he knew he had to be the breadwinner.

"How about I give you several apartments?"

"Ap-Apartements?" Hikigaya was dumbfounded.

Shishio looked at Hikigaya calmly. "With those apartments, you can rent them and live a comfortable life just by relying on renting. Unlike other types of businesses, which fluctuate every time, everyone needs a place to live, so you won't have to worry that you will be in trouble with finding a renter. The money might be the most, but it is the most stable. Naturally, it is in Tokyo, but it isn't in the main area. What do you think?"

A comfortable life where he didn't need to work under someone or do many unreasonable things while only relying on the rent.

Wasn't it the best?

Still, Hikigaya sighed.

What was wrong with this guy?

Was this guy really a god?

Was Shishio the god of the new world?

Hikigaya somehow wanted to worship Shishio for giving him such amazing things since this reward was probably something that he had always wanted.

With Hikigaya's personality, Shishio thought that his reward should be the best thing for him. To be honest, if he didn't have a system, he might also do the same. Buying several houses before turning them into apartments, so he could live by relying on renting.

It was simply a dream job for everyone.

Naturally, similar to a dream, it was hard to achieve since the property price in this country was high, so the people could only dream.

"Don't reject me. I have spoken with my subordinates about this, and they will call you later. You can just accept them later."

Hikigaya gulped and asked, "...why? Why did you do this?" He felt that his head was dizzy from all the information.

"You have helped me to save my woman. I am so grateful to you, so don't ever think to reject it. I have prepared everything. This might be a big thing for you, but for me, this is nothing."

"...."

Hikigaya was just silent.

Shishio then stood up and patted Hikigaya's shoulder. "Come on. Everyone should be in the clubroom already."

Hearing those words, Hikigaya looked at Shishio for a moment and sighed. "I wonder what should I say in this situation?"

"How about thank you?"

"Then, thank you."

As for rejecting, Hikigaya knew that it was impossible, but the sudden change in his identity made him feel strange since he suddenly became the owner of several apartments.

"Oh, right, Senpai."

"Wh-what's wrong?"

"Don't be so formal with me next time." Shishio smiled. "It is rare for me to have a friend, so don't change."

Watching his back, Hikigaya sighed. "It's impossible, okay?" However, he also smiled and knew they were friends, but at the same time...

"Shishio!"

"Hmm?"

"If you think of us as a friend... as a genuine friend, then you don't need to give me something like this to show your appreciation. I help you like how you help me if I am in trouble, and this is enough."

Hikigaya showed the half-eaten ice cream in his hand.

"........"

"...are you sure?"

"Yes!" Hikigaya didn't hesitate since he just couldn't accept such a heavy gift from Shishio. He knew that many might think stupid, but this was his first friend, and he didn't want to taint their relationship because of this.

"I see..." Shishio nodded. "Then, I won't force you."

"Thank you."

"It's okay." Shishio sighed, then suddenly thought of an idea. "Then, maybe, I will give you those apartments as a dowry when I marry Komachi."

"I WILL KILL YOU, BASTARD!"

Maybe, this was a friend, but one thing was for sure, Hikigaya wanted to beat this guy up!
