Chapter 157 - This Is My First Time Being Touched By Another
After breakfast, Shishio washed his dishes and then walked to Shiina, who also had finished eating her breakfast.
"Do you still want me to do your hair?
"
"Un.
" Shiina nodded without hesitation.
"Well, what kind of style do you want, Mashiro?
" Shishio asked while caressing Shiina's smooth and blonde hair.
When Sorata saw how Shishio touched and caressed Shiina's hair as if a lover, he couldn't help but feel that his heart was torn apart at this moment, his expression turned ugly, but he lowered his head since he didn't want to be seen at this moment.
"Um... like how you before?
" Shiina asked since she wanted him to tie her hair in a bun like before.
"You mean a bun?
" Shishio asked.
"Un.
" Shiina nodded.
Shishio looked at Shiina's hair for a while and said,
"How about something else? There's this hairstyle that might suit you.
"
"Then that's it.
" Shiina nodded since she didn't know much.
"Well, turn your face toward me,
" Shishio said.
Shiina turned her body toward him, facing him, and could see his face from a close distance. Yet, somehow, she felt that her heartbeat moved so fast, especially when his hands touched her face and hair gently.
Shishio looked at Shiina, who seemed to be in a daze, but her cheeks were slightly red, making her cuter. He only smiled and didn't say much, then started to help with her hair.
Chihiro, Ritsu, Hiratsuka, and Mayumi looked at this scene with some strong jealousy somehow.
Misaki only saw this scene curiously, then looked at Mitaka, who was in deep thought. She wanted to ask him whether he could do her hair too, but then she decided not to say anything, after all, she knew that he was working hard at this moment.
Hiratsuka frowned and asked,
"Is she his girlfriend?
" She looked at Shishio and thought it wouldn't be surprising for him to have a girlfriend, but she couldn't help but feel some disappointment when she knew about it.
"You mean Mashiro?
" Chihiro looked at Hiratsuka.
"Un.
" Hiratsuka nodded.
"No, they're relatives,
" Chihiro said.
"Oh.
" Hiratsuka wasn't sure why, but she felt relief for some reason.
Chihiro looked at Shishio and asked,
"Shishio, can you do a hairstyling?
" She was wondering whether there was anything that her nephew couldn't do at this moment.
"Don't you remember that I had long hair before? And by chance, I have read some books about hairstyling, and it seems that I'm quite good at it,
" Shishio said and didn't say much, then quickly finished to style Shiina's hair.
"It's done. You can check it.
"
"...
" Everyone forgot to ask Shishio again since they were in a daze when they saw Shiina's hair that had been styled by Shishio.
"How beautiful...
"
Everyone had to admit that Shiina was a very beautiful girl, but because she didn't have the ability to take care of herself, her hair had always been quite messy, but this time, when Shishio had styled her hair, they had to admit that the beauty of this girl had been enhanced several times.
Shiina looked at her bangs that had been braided in French braided style on the mirror and couldn't help but feel surprised. She then looked at Shishio and asked his opinion about her new hairstyle,
"Shishio, what do you think?
"
"You're stunning,
" Shishio said without hesitation and patted her head gently.
Shiina smiled when she heard Shishio's words and felt happy with her new hairstyle.
".....
" Mayumi, Ritsu, Hiratsuka, and Chihiro weren't sure how to describe their feelings at that moment, but they felt so jealous at that moment. They wanted to ask him to do their hair too, but they weren't sure what to say.
"....
" Sorata also couldn't utter words when he saw how beautiful Shiina was, but when he saw how she smiled toward Shishio, he felt even hurt at this moment. He clenched his fists tightly under the table and wanted to ask why she was smiling at Shishio, not him? But he couldn't say it. After all, he knew that he wasn't anything, and from the past week, he had never talked that much with Shiina.
Sorata could only sit there and wanted to cry somehow. After all, he had been abused for a week in Sakurasou. Then he saw his crush showed such a smile to another man. He just couldn't handle it somehow.
"Shishio! Shishio! I want you to do my hair too!
" Misaki said without hesitation.
"Huh?
" Mitaka awakened from his deep thought and became dumbfounded.
Shishio raised his eyebrow at Misaki, then glanced at Mitaka for a moment.
"Are you sure?
"
"Un! Un! I want you to style my hair too!
" Misaki said with a smile.
Mitaka couldn't stay calm and wanted to stop them.
"Wait, Misaki, are you sure?
"
"Un.
" Misaki nodded and said,
"He's very good at styling hair, I want my hair to be styled too, and it's only styling hair. What are you worried about?
"
"I...
" Mitaka couldn't say anything, but he stared at Shishio, wondering whether Shishio would help Misaki. He was quite possessive toward Misaki. After all, even though he didn't feel that he was worthy of her, he didn't want anyone to have her, which was pretty much selfish, but that is how man was, right?
Shishio frowned at Mitaka, but he didn't say much. After all, he knew what kind of guy Mitaka was, and he didn't like it when someone glared at him, so he gave the nod to Misaki.
"Well, come here, Senpai.
"
"Yay~~
" Misaki then moved closer to Shishio, letting him do her hair.
Mitaka frowned, but he couldn't say anything in this situation.
Shishio looked at Misaki, but he didn't tie her hair in a braid and decided to tie her hair in a ponytail.
"I won't braid your hair like Mashiro. Is that alright, Senpai?
"
"Un, as long as it is good, I don't really mind.
" Misaki nodded, but then she felt that her body shuddered lightly when she felt his touch on her nape and hair. It was her first time to be touched by a man other than Mitaka, after all, and it was a new experience for her, but strangely enough, she didn't hate Shishio's touch.
Hiratsuka, Chihiro, and Mayumi somehow wanted to ask, but they were adults after all, and they needed to go to work, so they couldn't ask him to style their hair in a unique way.
"It's done. Check them out,
" Shishio said.
"Oh? Ponytail!
" Misaki spoke with a smile while looking at her ponytail hairstyle. She then looked at Mitaka and asked,
"Jin, Jin, what do you think?
"
"Be - beautiful...
" Mitaka gulped, and somehow he was attracted by Misaki's nape. He had to admit Shishio's talent in hairstyling and decided to forgive him this time for touching Misaki's hair. He somehow wanted to touch her hair, but...
"Don't touch it, Jin! You'll mess with my hair!
" Misaki had to admit that her ponytail was very great, so she didn't want anyone to mess it up.
"Haha...
" Mitaka could only laugh dryly.
Shishio looked at Misaki and Mitaka, wondering whether their relationship had changed somehow. 'Well, it might be my imagination?' He knew that Misaki loved Mitaka, and Mitaka also loved Misaki, but somehow, he could feel some change in Misaki. He wasn't sure, so he couldn't say anything about this matter. He then looked at Ritsu, who had been looking at him, but then he started to doubt something...
'Is Misaki really in love with Mitaka?'
When Ritsu saw Shishio looking at her, she was stunned, became shy, and looked away, but then her expression was a bit bad, pouting, but she might not realize it.
"Senpai, what about you?
" Shishio asked.
"Eh?
" Ritsu was stunned.
"If you want, I can also style your hair,
" Shishio said.
"Um...
" Ritsu quickly blushed, she wanted to accept Shishio's offer, but she was very shy when she thought that he would touch her hair, but...
Mayumi patted Ritsu's back and said,
"Just accept it. You'll appear ugly if you walk with Mashiro and Misaki later.
"
".....
" Ritsu stared at Mayumi begrudgingly, but she then nodded.
"Then please, Shishio.
" But in truth, she was quite grateful to Mayumi at that moment.
"Well, come here,
" Shishio said.
Mayumi looked at Ritsu and couldn't help but let out a sigh. 'Oh, youth...' She had to admit that she was a bit jealous at this moment, but well, she thought that she should support Ritsu at this moment, even though she knew that Ritsu's love wouldn't be so smooth.
Ritsu sat close to Shishio, and her body was quite tense at that moment.
"Relax, Kawai-senpai,
" Shishio said amusedly.
"Um.
" Ritsu nodded, but she was still tense.
"Well, I'll start. Is that alright?
" Shishio asked.
"Yes.
"
Hearing her confirmation, Shishio also started to do Ritsu's hair. He looked at her fair and white nape, and somehow he wanted to kiss it, but he knew that if he did that, he would be killed by everyone in this place, so he didn't do anything strange, only styling her hair gently.
Ritsu could feel his hands that caressed each of her every hair gently, and it felt good somehow. She then subconsciously loosened her body, started to feel relaxed, and understood why Shiina and Misaki showed such a reaction before.
The process of styling was very fast, and before long, Shishio had done styling Ritsu's hair.
"Senpai, check the mirror first,
" Shishio said.
"Un.
" Ritsu nodded, then looked at small braids on both of her sides, behind her ears, giving her a cuter image. In truth, she kept her hair short because she didn't like to be troubled with her hair. After all, rather than doing her hair, it was better to read a book, which was why she didn't expect her hair could be styled this way.
"Ritsu, you're so cute,
" Shiina said while looking at Ritsu.
Ritsu smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, Mashiro.
"
Shiina nodded and felt happy when she saw everyone was showing a happy smile. After all, she had never had this kind of experience in the UK.
Shishio nodded and said,
"Yeah, if the guys in your class see you now, I'm sure that they'll fall for you instantly.
"
"I don't need them to fall for me,
" Ritsu said with a snort, and rather than those boys in her class, she was wondering about how Shishio thought about her, but she didn't dare to ask this question.
"Well, let's go to school,
" Shishio said.
Hearing his words, everyone was also prepared to go to school, but before Shishio went to the school, he took a piece of paper and wrote a list of something there. He then gave that piece of paper to Roberta and said,
"Roberta, can you help me to buy all of that later?
"
Roberta looked at the list on the paper and nodded.
"Yes.
"
Shishio then looked at Chihiro and said,
"Oh, right, Chihiro-nee, I'll be home quite late later.
"
"Huh? Where are you going?
" Chihiro asked.
"We have a club activity after school,
" Shishio said. He then looked at Roberta and said,
"Sorry to leave you alone, Roberta. If you want, you should check around the city when you buy those things on the lists.
"
Roberta was a bit hesitant, but then she nodded.
"If you have something, please call me immediately, Shishio-sama.
"
"Yes.
" Shishio nodded, then said,
" Then we'll go to school first.
"
"Un, take care, Shishio-sama.
" Roberta nodded.
"Oh, right, bye, Shiro-san,
" Shishio said, then the rest also followed.
"Bye, everyone!
" Shiro-san said goodbye to everyone with a smile, and he thought that sometimes being greeted was also good too.
Then they left for the school together, and Roberta followed them until they had left before she returned to her room to prepare herself since she needed to buy the things on the list.
---
This was a rare time when everyone from Sakurasou was leaving for school together, Shishio was listening to Misaki, who blabbered about anime with great vigor, but then he glanced at Mitaka and Sorata, who walked next to each other, and thought that it might be good to knock them down together.
'First is Sorata then....'
Shishio looked at Mitaka then Misaki and said,
"Well, I'm a bit interested in anime now. Tell me more later, Senpai.
" He wasn't Mitaka's mom, and he wanted to help Misaki, so at this moment, he was going to force Mitaka to move, and whether the result was good or not, he wasn't sure, but it might be good if they weren't meant together so Misaki wouldn't be trapped by Mitaka and moved on.
"Un!
" Misaki nodded with a smile, thinking that she had a great junior. She patted Shishio's back and thought that her work hard to make Shishio interested in anime had borne fruit.
"I'll teach you a lot of things, Shishio-kun!
"
Mitaka looked at Misaki, who talked happily with Shishio and didn't think too much. After all, besides Shishio, there was Ritsu, Shiina, Chihiro, and Hiratsuka. He then looked at Sorata, who seemed to be very gloomy and could only shake his head since this junior was very hard to talk with.
