The lesson started and it ended on the break.

Shishio became a center of attention directly, but he had gotten used to it since he often became a center of attention. The only problem was that he didn’t become a center of attention because of his handsome face. Instead, it was because of his deed that he was able to date two beautiful girls at the same time.

Shishio could see that Sorata kept glancing at him from time to time with a complicated expression, but he ignored him since Sorata had nothing to do with his life anymore and they were just an acquaintance that happened to stay in the same class and same dorm in the past.

However, Shishio somehow felt relieved since he didn’t need to hide anymore, and he felt so free.

“Shishio, let’s have lunch!” Nana said as she sat on his lap.

“…”

Shishio looked at Nana for a moment and wondered whether this girl had become slightly fatter. However, the feeling of softness and plumpness on her butts had never changed. Instead, it was even more addicted to having her on his lap.

Still, Shishio also knew that it might be dangerous for Nana if this continued.

“Wh-What’s wrong?” Nana wasn’t sure, but she felt uncomfortable by this gaze.

“No, you’re just beautiful,” Shishio said with a sigh, but personally, he didn’t mind, even if Nana was slightly fatter.

“Really?” Nana asked with a smile.

“Yeah.” Shishio nodded, using his “Acting Mastery” to give a sincere smile.

Nana laughed and hugged him happily.

However, unlike Shishio, Mea and Maiko were different.

“Nana, did you get fat?” Mea asked.

“Yeah, your waist has become slightly larger,” Maiko said as she held Nana’s waist, shaking it up and down.

“…”

Nana looked at Mea and Maiko in shock, then looked at Shishio.

Shishio could only look away and decided not to say anything.

“Shishio…” Nana looked at Shishio with an expression, waiting for him to tell her that her friends were talking nonsense.

“It is your chest. They have become bigger again,” Shishio said as he looked at Nana’s chest.

Nana was dumbfounded and asked, “Have they become bigger?”

“There should be a health exam in the future. You can check whether they have become bigger or not,” Shishio said.

“I see…” Nana nodded, then looked at Mea and Maiko smugly.

There were veins on the forehead of Mea and Maiko before they looked at Shishio at the same time.

“Shishio, this girl has become fatter, right?”

“Yeah, just tell the truth.”

“…Well, she has indeed become slightly fatter, but I don’t mind, though,” Shishio said after a moment of hesitation.

Nana was dumbfounded and asked, “…Real?”

“Real.” Shishio nodded and said, “While I don’t mind, it might be dangerous if you don’t start a workout from now on.”

“…….”

Nana was depressed when everyone, including Shishio, had told her that she had become fatter.

“See?” Maiko smiled happily.

“If you don’t get slimmer, then this guy might attack the two of us,” Mea said while looking at Shishio.

‘Why are you looking at me like that?’ Shishio was speechless by the gaze of Maiko and Mea. He looked at Nana then patted her back. “I’ll accompany you if you want to work out, and there’s a gym in the new apartment. You can use it there.”

“…Really?” Nana looked at Shishio with watery eyes.

“Yeah.” Shishio patted her head and said, “Still, there’s even an exciting workout that we can do. Unfortunately, we can’t do it now.”

“Exciting workout?” 4x

Not only Nana but Mea, Maiko, and Nanami were also interested and looked at Shishio curiously.

“What kind of workout?” 4x

“…….”

“…Let’s eat lunch first since the break might be over after we eat,” Shishio said and changed the topic of the conversation since the exciting workout that he mentioned wasn’t suitable to be explained in this place, especially when there was Mea and Maiko here.

Nanami and Nana looked at Shishio thoughtfully, but Mea and Maiko also thought the same, thinking it might be only a time before this scumbag might eat Nana.

—

During lunch, everyone went to the literature clubroom to eat together.

While they ate their lunch, they talked about what Shishio had done this morning since it had become the topic that everyone talked about.

“Congratulations, Shishio. You have become the most famous student in the Suimei,” Mai said with a smile.

“Have I beaten your popularity now? Is that okay?” Shishio also said jokingly.

Mai’s lips twitched before she laughed and said with a smile, “It’s alright. It’s alright, but I don’t expect you to dare to admit to everyone that you’re a scumbag.”

Hearing Mai’s words, everyone also nodded since his action this morning was unexpected.

While they knew that Shishio was a scumbag, he still maintained a good image among all the students and even teachers on the Suimei Academy, but with what he did in the morning by admitting that he was a scumbag, his image was destroyed instantly.

While they were surprised, they must admit that Shishio had a lot of guts since he dared to do this, considering how everyone might talk behind his back and how his reputation was destroyed.

Still, while they felt unhappy about those who talked about Shishio, they felt happy and thought they didn’t choose the wrong man since Shishio dared to take responsibility for his actions by admitting that he was a scumbag.

“It’s alright.” Shishio ate bread in his hand and said, “We’re only going to meet each other for three years. After that, we won’t meet each other again in the future, and even if we meet, they might become my subordinates in the future that will have to kiss my ass to curry favor to me.” He didn’t care what everyone was thinking or talking about him since, in the end, they were just barking dogs.

What could a barking dog do?

Nothing.

They could only bark loudly, but they wouldn’t cause him any harm, only creating an annoying noise.

Also, a dog was just a dog.

Shishio had a million ways to shut them out if he wanted to, though.

“Also, this is a low price if this can reassure you and tell you that I’m seriously in love with you,” Shishio said calmly, but the hearts of the girls in the literature clubroom were shot by an arrow of cupid directly.

“Shishio, eat this. I made this rice ball,” Saki said and gave the rice ball that she made in the morning.

“…….” Shishio looked at Saki and wondered why this girl only gave him the rice ball right after buying bread, but he was too lazy to ask. “Thank you and sorry for troubling you every morning.”

“It’s alright. I’m happy to do this for you every day,” Saki said with a gentle smile.

Shishio looked at Saki and wanted to kiss her right now, but he knew the place, and the occasion wasn’t right.

Still, he felt that a rice ball was a unique dish where he could taste the girl’s taste.

While it wasn’t hard to prepare a rice ball, one needed to use hot rice to create one. Their hands might not be burnt because they soaked their hands with saltwater. However, the heat would make their hands sweat.

Which meant the taste of the girl’s sweat was mixed on the rice ball.

When someone knows that, there must be a mixed opinion regarding this matter.

Some were disgusted, hesitant, or happy?

As for Shishio, he ate the rice ball with relish without hesitation. “It’s delicious!”

Saki blushed since she knew that her cooking ability was average, but even so, she felt happy, hearing his praise. “Is that so? There’s more.”

“Eat mine too, Shishio,” Miu said with a smile.

“I don’t plan to prepare it for you, but since you’re so hungry, I’ll give you this one,” Mai said as she gave her bento to Shishio.

“……” Nana and Shiina looked at each other and thought they would try to make a bento in the future.

Nanami, Ritsu, Mea, and Maiko looked at everyone and thought they had fallen too deeply with Shishio.

“……..”

Shishio looked at the mountain of food in front of him speechlessly. While he didn’t mind eating all of them, he felt that they were too much. Still, there was something that he needed to ask them first.

“Wait a moment. There’s something that I need to ask everyone,” Shishio suddenly said.

“What?” They looked at Shishio curiously.

“Nana and Mashiro aside, since everyone knows that I have dated them, but what about the three of you? Saki, Miu, and Mai?” Shishio looked at the three girls, no, women since he had eaten them, and asked, “If you feel uncomfortable, I do–”

“Don’t be stupid!” Mai quickly interrupted.

“Don’t think we’re too weak against pressure,” Saki said with a frown.

“Shishio-kun, you don’t believe in our love?” Miu asked with teary eyes, feeling hurt by Shishio’s words.

Shishio’s words hurt them since it felt like he doubted them.

Shishio wiped Miu’s tears gently and said softly, “I believe you, but this is tough, you know? While I want to tell everyone that you’re all my girlfriends, I don’t mind even if we hide the truth since everyone will talk about the three of you, and I don’t want you to be hurt.”

Hearing Shishio’s words, Saki, Miu, and Mai, understood why he told them not to announce their relationship. While they felt warmth, they felt that he underestimated them.

“Shishio…” Mai looked at Shishio calmly and said, “While I’m happy about your consideration, we have also prepared for this kind of problem when we have decided to date you, so let us bear your pressure.”

“Yeah, I’m not weak enough to be protected by you all the time,” Saki said with a determined expression.

“Shishio-kun, don’t underestimate us,” Miu said with a gentle smile.

The image of the scumbag had been imprinted on Shishio’s body to all the students in this school.

However, their love for him had never changed, and they would give their everything to support him and be part of his strength even if the whole school became their enemies.

While their worry might be exaggerated since Shishio didn’t believe that someone could cause him trouble in this school, he would be lying if he wasn’t moved by them. He stared at their faces for a moment and gave them a sincere smile that came from his heart. “Thank you. I’m glad that I have loved you.”

“…….”

Everyone was in a daze, and it was as if the whole world was eclipsed by him, and they thought they fell even deeper.

“Shishio-kun…” Miu made an unexpected move and kissed Shishio’s lips without hesitation.

“…….” Everyone.

“……..” Shishio.

“WAIT!!!” Nana, Mai, and Saki.

Shiina didn’t say anything, but she also leaped toward Shishio.

“………” Ritsu, Mea, Maiko, and Nanami somehow felt bitter, and the food on their hands didn’t taste so delicious anymore.

While they were preoccupied in their own world, suddenly, the door was knocked on and opened.

“Shishio-kun, are you he—”

Hina stopped her words after she saw a scene that opened her eyes wide.

“Wh-What are you doing?!”

Still, Shishio thought that this scene was quite cliche somehow..
