I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo
Chapter 396 - Big Sister 3
Shishio made his order and also asked whether Haruno wanted alcohol or not.
After all, it was impossible for Shishio and Yukinoshita to drink alcohol according to their ages, but it was different for Haruno.
Haruno agreed without hesitation, but she was still surprised to find the wine at the Thai restaurant. However, she was someone who had never pursued something that didn't give her an interest.
After tasting her wine, Haruno looked at Shishio with a smile and asked, "Say, Shishio-kun, you don't want to taste the wine?"
"No, I'm not a delinquent. I don't drink alcohol." Shishio was unfazed even though he had drunk alcohol many times in the past.
"....." Yukinoshita only stared at Shishio silently.
Haruno laughed and said, "You're not delinquent, yet you ride on a motorcycle even though you're only 15 years old."
"I mean, what kind of delinquent that acknowledges that he's one, right?"
"That's true."
'So, is it okay to acknowledge that you're a scumbag?' Yukinoshita thought as she sighed. Still, watching Shishio and Haruno, she wondered whether her big sister was going to be eaten by him.
"...."
Yukinoshita looked at Shishio and thought that she needed to watch him well.
Haruno looked at Yukinoshita with interest until the drink that was ordered by Shishio came.
"Try it, Senpai. It tastes nice."
Shishio and Yukinoshita couldn't drink alcohol, so he ordered Thai tea for Yukinoshita and himself.
Yukinoshita left everything to Shishio since even though this guy was a scumbag, his choice at many things such as food or was usually fit with her taste. She looked at the brownish-orange beverage in front of her before looking at Shishio, who drank this strange beverage without hesitation. She hesitated for a moment before she drank the Thai tea.
"!!!"
The sweet taste of the tea hit her tastebud.
The distinctively floral and spicy flavor of the tea gave a special feeling.
It was definitely her first time tasting this type of drink.
"What do you think, Senpai?" Shishio asked with a smile.
"...It tastes nice." While it tasted nice, Yukinoshita was still embarrassed to acknowledge that it tasted good.
"Really? Can I try it, Yukino-chan?" Haruno asked curiously
"No." Yukinoshita refused without hesitation.
"Eh?" Haruno pouted, then looked at Shishio with a smile. "Shishio-kun, can I taste your Thai tea?"
"Sure." Shishio didn't think too much, but Yukinoshita reacted fast and put her Thai tea in front of her big sister. "Don't drink too much."
Haruno laughed happily and showed a knowing expression that her sister loved her so much.
Yukinoshita only looked away while looking at Shishio with a grudge. While she didn't have evidence, she had a feeling that this guy had fun playing with her feelings somehow.
"What?! It tastes good!" Haruno was surprised and kept drinking.
"Hey! Don't drink too much!" Yukinoshita wanted to take back her drink.
Shishio looked at the two, who bickered at each other and thought, "This is how a sister is."
They might fight, but their relationship had never distanced themselves.
Still, Shishio felt that he watched the relationship between a Lily (lesbian) relationship right in front of his eyes somehow.
"I feel that you're thinking something so rude, Shishio-kun," Yukinoshita squinted her eyes.
"No, it's your imagination." Shishio shook his head and said, "The food is coming." He then looked at Haruno and took the chopsticks. "By the way, Nee-san, since you're going to treat the two of us, you can taste it first."
The food that came first was Cilantro Tree Salad.
It was a salad that was made with cilantro with simple and nice seasoning while also maintaining the refreshing taste of the green.
Shishio glanced at Yukinoshita for a moment, and strangely enough, she understood what he wanted to convey.
Yukinoshita smiled mischievously and looked away, so Haruno wouldn't see her smile.
Haruno stared at Shishio for a moment speechlessly.
While Haruno planned to treat them from the start, she somehow felt strange since she couldn't shake the feeling she was being played by Shishio.
Haruno squinted her eyes and had a feeling that while this guy seemed simple and amiable, he might hide his cunning personality. She glanced at Yukinoshita for a moment and saw her, looking away with a disinterested expression.
'Are you two going to tease me?'
Haruno didn't show fear.
Instead, Haruno still maintained her bright smile, thinking that the two were fun. 'Okay, let's see how you're going to play your game.'
However, Haruno must admit that Shishio's smile was so charming.
Still, who was she?
How could she fall for someone just because of an appearance alone?
However, Haruno just couldn't deny and understood why Yukinoshita could fall for him.
'But a younger boy, huh?'
Haruno looked at Yukinoshita and thought about her sister's taste somehow.
"...Are you thinking something rude about me?" Yukinoshita asked with a frown.
"Nothing~~." Haruno chirped happily. "It's your imagination."
"Hmph!" Yukinishita hummed as she looked away as usual.
"Okay, okay, how about we eat first?" Shishio asked and became the host since he was being treated by Haruno.
As for whether he felt ashamed when he was being treated or not?
Shishio didn't feel that feeling at all since they were living in the era of gender equality.
As Hikigaya, who wanted to become a household husband, Shishio didn't think that it was a problem for him to be treated by a woman too.
Shishio had divided the Cilantro Tree Salad on small plates where they could taste the food together.
"Hmm~~! You will become a good wife, Shishio-kun."
"Really? You make me embarrassed."
'...What is this slapstick?'
Yukinoshita felt slightly bitter since Shishio and Haruno seemed to be close.
"Senpai, another food is coming," Shishio reminded.
"Oh!" Yukinoshita quickly remembered and noticed Shishio's gaze. She then realized everything, and her mood also improved. "What's the next dish?"
"It's a Pad Pong Curry and Tod Mung Goong. It's deep-fried shrimp cakes. Careful, it's hot."
The Yukinoshita sisters became curious, and they also started to eat together.
"Is it delicious?" Shishio asked.
"Yes, it is."
While it was her first time eating Thai food, Haruno felt that it tasted nice.
While Yukinoshita didn't say anything, she also nodded since the taste of the food was all nice and delicious.
However...
"Hey, why isn't it spicy? Didn't you tell me that you were going to eat spicy food?" Haruno asked with a slightly complaining tone.
"Sorry, I was lying. I thought that you wouldn't follow us if I told you that we were going to eat spicy food..." Shishio had this awkward expression on his face since his plan had been found out by someone.
"Ah! I see! I see!" Haruno nodded with an understanding smile. "It's normal for you not to want your date to be interrupted, right? Geez, Yukino-chan, why can't you be honest?"
"If I'm being honest, will you go back?" Yukinoshita asked plainly.
"Of course not, right~~?" Haruno smiled happily.
'Right?'
Shishio and Yukinoshita had this helpless expression on their faces.
"Still, Shishio-kun, you need to work harder if you want my approval," Haruno said as she looked at Shishio.
"Oh? You haven't approved me?" While there wasn't any relationship to begin with, Shishio didn't mind playing along.
"Of course not." Haruno shook her head as she wiggled her fingers left and right repeatedly with a "tch, tch, tch" expression on her face.
"......." Shishio.
"What should I do then?" Shishio asked curiously.
"What?" Haruno smiled sweetly and asked, "You like Yukino-chan that much?"
"Well, yeah." Shishio shrugged his shoulders and answered without hesitation.
"......" Yukinoshita.
"Hmmm...." Haruno hummed as she looked at Shishio and Yukinoshita with a smile.
"Nee-san." Yukinoshita looked coldly at Haruno since she was uncomfortable with her gaze.
"Don't be so cold, Yukino-chan~~!" Haruno seemed to be quite used to Yukinoshita's cold gaze, so she was unfazed and even acted like a baby in front of her.
However, Yukinoshita ignored her and glanced at Shishio from time to time.
"Nee-san, try another dish," Shishio said when another dish came.
"Oh? What is this?" Haruno asked curiously.
"It's Pad Kee Mao. It's stir-fried noodles," Shishio said as he prepared a portion for Haruno on her small plate.
Haruno didn't think too much and accepted Shishio's goodwill while she didn't realize his speed at dividing portions of the Pad Kee Mao on his and Yukinoshita's plate became slower.
Haruno used her chopsticks and happily ate the Pad Kee Mao, chewing it without hesitation, thinking that it was a delicious food like before, but...
"......"
Shishio and Yukinoshita looked at each other and smiled.
"........"
Haruno quickly noticed their smiles and realized that she was being played!
Haruno only realized that she was the fool in this place!
"It's hot! Water! Water! Cough! Cough!"
Her face was red, and sweat dripped from her forehead because of the heat that came out from the spiciness.
Haruno quickly took Shishio's Thai tea without hesitation and drank it to calm the heat in her mouth.
"Fuh..."
Haruno sighed in relief when the sweet taste hit her tastebud then looked at Yukinoshita and Shishio with annoyance. "You two have played me!"
"It's your fault for not asking whether it is spicy or not. "Yukinoshita felt so happy right now.
Haruno knew she couldn't beat her sister right now, so she threw her fit at Shishio. "Shishio-kun, if you play me like this, I won't agree to make you my brother-in-law."
"Yes, yes." Shishio only answered in a perfunctory manner.
"........" Haruno was shocked and realized this guy's real personality!
"Yukino-chan, Shihio-kun is bullying me!"
"Huh? Really? I think that he has done something right, though."
"...You... You are bullying me!" Haruno was shocked when the two had been working together to prank her.
However, her name wouldn't be Haruno Yukinoshita if she backed down like this.
"Still, you think you can escape from this spicy food? You two need to eat it too!" Haruno snorted while wondering what they were going to do.
However, while Yukinoshita didn't eat immediately, Shishio ate without hesitation.
Yukinoshita looked at Shishio, who had eaten and also ate.
"!!!"
Yukinoshita was dumbfounded since the Pad Kee Mao was spicier than she had thought.
"Are you okay, Senpai?"
"I-I'm alright..." Yukinoshita took a deep breath and started to eat again. However, unlike before, while it was still spicy, it was delicious.
A bead of sweat dripped around her neck, giving her an alluring image.
*Gulp!*
Haruno looked at Shishio, and Yukinoshita, who ate the spicy food deliciously with sweat kept dripping, and somehow...
"I-I'll eat it too!"
Haruno ate, but then her tongue was burning again. However, she could eat it and tell how delicious it was.
While they ate, Haruno and Yukinoshita looked at each other for a moment before they looked away, strangely embarrassed to each other.
It might have been a while for the two to go out together, but strangely enough, it wasn't bad at all.
'Sometimes, staying together with your sister isn't that bad.'
Haruno and Yukinoshita thought at the same time.
