Chapter 94 - Seeds Start To Sprout

Chapter 94 - Seeds Start To Sprout

The time moved so fast and before long the bell rang, telling everyone that the school had ended.

Shishio felt that his body was slightly stiff, sitting for a long time, but he had to admit that the book that he read was quite good. There were a lot of books that he hadn't read in this world after all and he was quite curious, but at the same time, he felt that his time in school was quite wasteful since besides chatting with his classmates and girls, reading books, there was nothing else that he could do.??

If Shishio announced all of his net worth, then it was possible for him not to go to school and work on his business, but he also knew that such a life would be very monotone and tiring.

In his previous life, as a businessman, his life was very busy, and sometimes, he left his girlfriend, without taking care of her, but such a day stopped when his girlfriend gave him a book about Socrates.

Shishio had to admit that Socrates had given a lot of lessons to him, and he loved one of his quotes, which was...

"The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less."

It was such a sentence that made him spend less time on his business and spend more time with his girlfriend, after all, he realized that his life was unhealthy and his greed wouldn't end unless he limited it, but it was because of this, he realized that he might be drunk by the existence of the system.

The system didn't force him to become a scumbag and the choice of whether Shishio became a scumbag or not was in his own hands, and in truth, even with all the rewards that he had gotten for the past few days, it should be enough for him to live all of his life without worrying about anything.

At the same time, Shishio also realized that he was too dependent on the system, and knew that it wasn't good.

Shishio wasn't a weak guy, nor was he someone who would beg for something. He could get everything by his own power, so to achieve all he wanted without the existence of the system!

Shishio had to admit that he was grateful for the existence of the system since because of the system, he received capital for his future, and at the same time, he wouldn't need to become a scumbag anymore, but at the same time, he knew that if he was content with all of his assets then he would turn lazy.

Shishio couldn't become lazy since once someone turned lazy, they would be bored, and once they were bored, a lot of things could happen, especially when that person was rich, so he needed to work hard and also used his system with some consideration since he would be very stupid, if he didn't use his system, after all, he could get a free reward, but at the same time, he knew that he needed to limit himself, or else, he would lose himself.

Shishio knew that everything in this world was contradictory, but he was still young, and there were a lot of times for him to think about everything. He was in deep thought, but he was awoken when he heard this cheerful voice that called him out.

"Shishio!" Nana came to Shishio with a bright smile and said, "I'll go home first, I have something to do." She thought about preparing herself for Saturday since she would be alone with him, and she wanted to show her best to him on that day, so she wanted to talk about this matter with his friends.

"Un." Shishio nodded and didn't think too much, but he had to admit that Nana who was smiling was very beautiful.

"Bye!" Nana quickly waved her hand and went back together with Mea and Maiko, who also waved their hands toward him.

Shishio waved his hand toward them and somehow recalled the thought on his mind the morning before.

Before, he thought that he could give up Nana for Miu, but when he thought that Nana might be with another man in the future and strangely, enough, he felt quite furious and couldn't accept it.

Shishio didn't want to admit it, or rather he wanted to throw this thought away, but he knew that it was impossible since as a man, he had thought that it would be great if he could date both Nana and Miu at the same time, after all, wasn't it normal for a man to dream to have a harem?

Shishio knew that a harem was a great thing, but even though it was great for the man, it wouldn't be great for the woman.

'If I have decided to date them, then I need to make sure that they are happy and won't regret their decision.' Shishio thought, but at the same time, he had made up his mind since he knew that he was doomed on the path of a scumbag.

"Oga, let's go back," Tagami said.

"Oh." Shishio nodded, picked up his bag, walked with both Usa and Tagami, leaving the class, and asked, "Now, that you mention it, I don't know where you two are living?" It wasn't a secret that he was living in Sakurasou after all, so he was quite curious where both Tagami and Usa were living.

"I live with my parents." Tagami sighed and said, "Sometimes, I am jealous of you two, who can live without your parents."

Shishio ignored Tagami and asked, "Usa, do you live in the school dorm?"

Usa nodded and said, "Yeah, my house is quite far after all." He looked at Shishio and asked, "How is Sakurasou?"

"Hmm...." Shishio rubbed his chin and said, "I guess, it depends on each individual, but you should know the pressure of living in that place is quite big." If the one who was living in that place was a talented guy, then he wouldn't say much, but both Usa and Tagami were ordinary guys, and he was afraid that both of them might become the second Kanda Sorata.

"Is it a really terrible place?" Usa asked with a frown, thinking that his friend was living in hardship.

"I'm quite alright with living there since, as I've told you before, my aunt is living there as a manager, and if you want to ask for more details, then I suggest you ask Kanda-kun," Shishio said since his opinion of living on Sakurasaou might not be suitable for both Usa and Tagami.

"...."

Usa and Tagami could only stare at Shishio when this guy mentioned Kanda Sorata.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shishio asked with a frown.

Tagami wrapped his hand around Shishio's neck and asked in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Aoyama-san?"

"Oga, I don't think that it is good for you to steal someone else's crush. Sunohara-san is a very beautiful girl, you should treasure her well," Usa said, trying to remind Shishio since he knew that the relationship between Sorata and Nanami was quite close, but he had a feeling that the relationship might change because of Shishio since, from this close distance, he could see how charming this guy was.

Usa also remembered that Shishio was also very close to the petite upperclassman in the early morning before, but he didn't say much about that since he was more focused on Shishio's relationship with Nanami.

Unlike before, Tagami and Usa thought that Shishio might not be able to tell them much because there was Nana, but this time, it was different since there were only the three of them and all of them were male so it should be easy for Shishio to tell them about his relationship with various girls, right?

"...."

Shishio was speechless and asked, "Do you think that I have something to do with Aoyama-san?"

"Yes." 2x

Usa and Tagami nodded at the same time.

"In truth, I don't care much what you're thinking, but since our relationship is quite close, I'll explain to the two of you that there's nothing between me and Aoyama-san," Shishio said.

Looking at Shishio's calm expression, Usa and Tagami couldn't tell if Shishio was lying or not, but one thing for sure, they decided to believe in him.

"Still, if you really date Aoyama-san, then it'll be very interesting," Tagami said with a smile.

"....." Shishio.

"Why is that?" Usa asked curiously.

"Don't you see Kanda's expression before?" Tagami laughed, but then he sighed and his expression turned complex. "Well, as an audience, it's quite fun to see someone who is heartbroken, but when it might happen to you, I can't laugh again somehow."

Shishio could only pat Tagami's at this moment.

Usa also shuddered when he imagined his crush was on the hand of another guy and he also couldn't laugh at Sorata.

"Shishio."

Shishio heard his name being called and he saw both Shiina and Ritsu walking toward him. "Mashiro, Senpai." He gave them a nod and said, "Let's go back."

Shiina nodded and also wanted to go back as soon as possible.

Ritsu, who was holding a book in his right hand and holding Shiina's hand in her left hand, also gave a nod, but there was a light blush on her face when she thought that both of them would go back together from now on.

Shiina and Ritsu didn't even glance at Usa and Tagami who were on Shishio's side, however, when Usa saw Ritsu, he felt that the world was so beautiful at that moment and it was as if there was a lot of flowers background like on the shoujo manga suddenly appeared around Ritsu and there was only her in his eyes.

Usa felt that his heart was pounding very fast, and his face flushed, thinking that she was so beautiful.

"Then Usa, Tagami, I'll go back first," Shishio said, waving his hand, leaving together with Shiina and Ritsu.

"....."

Tagami could only watch this scene in silence and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, but he also understood the reason why Shishio was popular so he couldn't say much. He patted Usa's shoulder and said, "Let's go back. I'll lend you my new porn later, Usa."

"..."

However, Usa didn't give him a response which made Tagami feel confused. He looked at Usa and saw his eyes drifting toward the direction of Ritsu. He raised his eyebrow and asked, "Usa, what's wrong?"

"Tagami, do you know the short-haired one girl? The one that is walking with Oga?" Usa asked, but then his expression became panicked. "She isn't Oga's girlfriend, right? They don't fall in love with each other, right?" If it was someone else then he might not be this panicked, but the one who walked beside the short-haired girl was Shishio which made him panic.

"....."

Tagami twitched his lips and said, "You should ask Oga tomorrow." He could see that somehow his friend fell in love with the short-haired girl that was walking with Shishio, but when he thought that Usa's opponent would be Shishio, he wasn't sure what to say and only hoped for Shishio to give Usa mercy or his blessing.

Then Tagami and Usa were talking to each other, but they didn't notice that there was another person who was looking in the direction of Shishio, Shiina, and Ritsu.

Sorata looked at the three of them and somehow could only grit his teeth, wondering why it was always Shishio?
