After he leaves Nana's house, Shishio does not immediately return to Sakurasou, but he goes to his private parking lot to retrieve his motorcycle.
He knew that with this, his relationship with Nana was confirmed.
Previously, she might have felt guilty about dating two girls at the same time, but now, she knew that she did not have the time to have such feelings, she said, and even if he had the time to do so, he thought it was better to use that time to show how much gratitude he felt towards the two of them who could accept it.
Shishio may not be able to say that he loves them both, but even with that condition, they accept it, even knowing his selfish desire to have them and to stay beside him, she said, so all he can do to repay them is learn how to love them as soon as possible.
'Love...'
When Shishio thought of this one word, it hurt his heart, and it made him uncomfortable.
He loves someone, but he can't see it now.
This pain, unless one felt it for themselves, no one would understand it.
'For now, let's finish the book. What comes after? Let's think about it later.'
Shishio thought about solving his problem by writing such a book, he hoped to resolve his pain and start his new life, but he wondered if it was really that easy?
Shishio looked to the side, and there was no one beside him, somehow his steps became heavy, but when he thought of Saki and Nana.
"..."
Shishio paused and closed his eyes for a moment, thinking about the time they spent together.
He was with them both and knew that there was no time for negative thinking.
He has confessed to the two girls, which means he has a responsibility to take care of them, at least, to make them happy because they have tolerated him dating them together, but...
'Why is it so hard to love someone?'
It was easy to take out her p*n*s to fuck someone, but in order to entrust her heart to someone and put everything naked in front of them, Shishio felt that it was harder than anything.
Shishio doesn't like it if his mind is empty because, in this state, his mind is always wandering in a strange direction, and negative thoughts always pop up in his head one after another.
Shishio thought of returning to Nana's house because he could talk to her briefly in search of comfort, but when she was about to step up, her phone shook.
He took out his phone, and his pupils dilated in surprise when he saw the person calling out.
He then did not hesitate and accepted the call.
"Mashiro?"
"Shishio, I want to meet you," Shiina said.
"....."
Shishio stood in the street, and no words came out of his mouth. It was a very simple sentence, but somehow, it cleared his mind.
"I'll be home after getting my motorcycle?"
"Motorcycle?"
"Ms." Shishio walked over, looked at the road in front of him, and said, "I'll take you while we're on vacation."
"Riding?"
"...."
Shishio somehow needed to explain things to Shiina at the moment.
Ritsu looked at Shiina, who was talking to Shishio over the phone, she wanted to say something, but in the end, she kept her mouth shut, especially when she saw the smile on Shiina's face.
Normally, Shiina had always put a confused expression on her face, and today, she looked like a cat that had not met her master for a long time, but now she was talking to her master and hearing his voice after a day, that was enough to smile at him.
Ritsu saw all that, and after a while, she could only show a bitter smile.
"Ritsu?"
Ritsu looked at Shiina, who was looking at him anxiously.
He looked at her and patted her head.
Although it was a bit difficult for him to smile, he still wore a gentle expression.
"Have you finished talking?"
"Ms." Shiina nodded and asked, "Do you want to talk to Shishio?"
"I...." Ritsu was not sure how to answer it.
Shiina might not fully understand the meaning of love, but when she saw Ritsu's expression, somehow, her heart stiffened.
She knew that there was one question she wanted to ask right now, but words could not come out of her mouth, and in the end, she did not say anything, waiting for Ritsu's answer.
Ritsu looked at Shiina, who continued to stare at him, and shook her head.
"No."
They talked for a while before ending their conversation because Shishio was on his way to his private parking lot, but suddenly someone called out to him again.
Shishio looked at the person who called out to him and raised his eyebrows.
"Senpai?"
"Shishio, sorry to bother you so suddenly." Miu's voice mixed with worry and shame as she said those words.
"No, it's okay. What's up?" Shishio asked.
"I heard you helped Nana get home today" Miu said.
"Um, sorry for not coming to the club before" Shishio said.
"No, no, it's okay, you don't have to worry too much."
Shishio thought of Miu then said, "Stay, we haven't met each other today."
"Mr..." Miu nodded, and there was a slight sense of loneliness.
"We haven't seen each other today."
"Did you miss me?" Shishio asked.
"A--?!"
Hearing her voice, Shishio could imagine how this girl blushed and became confused.
He smiled and said, "Somehow, I want to meet you, Senpai."
Miu was stunned, and her heart was pounding at the moment when she heard those words.
His face was red, and he was embarrassed, but he still said it.
"I also want to meet you, Shishio."
Hearing his voice, Shishio was slightly surprised by Miu's sudden courage, but before he said anything, he asked, "Shishio, are you interested in writing?"
Shishio raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's up, Senpai?"
Miu was in her room at the time, lying on her bed with the phone near her ear, and said, "No, I just want to know if you feel like you're being forced to join."
"Of course not!" Miu quickly raised her voice, and her heart almost stopped at that moment.
She quickly lifted her body off the bed when she thought Shishio might be coming out of the literature club.
"Nee-chan?"
Miu looked at her younger brother and sister, who were looking at her curiously.
His face turned red, and he said, "Can you leave me alone for a moment?"
Miu's younger sister wanted to accompany her younger brother, but her younger brother quickly caught the younger sister and said, "Let Nee-chan alone. He's talking to his girlfriend."
"....."
Miu's face was very red at that moment.
"Well, Senpai, actually, I'm writing a story right now."
"Eh?" Miu was surprised and quickly asked, "Really?"
"Ms."
"Can I read it?" Miu asked quickly.
"Can."
Miu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to visit my house?"
"..."
Miu then quickly realized her mistake.
His face was so red that it almost burned, and there was smoke in his head. "I - I mean, I also write stories. Do you want to read my story too?"
"Why not? How about tomorrow after school?"
"Yes!" Miu agreed without hesitation.
They spoke for a while before ending their conversation.
Miu smiled and dropped down on her bed again.
Somehow she gets nervous and excited when she thinks that Shishio is going to visit her house.
'Ugh... I'm so brave!' She covers her face with her hands and wonders why she suddenly invites him to visit her house, but she knows that she feels that she will lose him if they do not meet each other.
"Nee-chan, are you done talking to your boyfriend?"
"....."
Miu looked at the heads of her younger brother and sister, who were peeking out of the door, looking at her with a smile on their faces, she somehow felt her face burning at this moment.
Shishio stared at his phone for a while before shaking again.
"..."
Shishio connected the phone quickly and heard the voice of the girl he had just separated for a while.
"Shishio, are you home yet?" ask Nana.
"Yet. I'll get the bike before I go home" Shishio said.
"Eh? The motors? Not Vespa?" Nana's surprised.
"No, this one's different. I'll show it to you tomorrow" Shishio said.
"Let's take a walk! I'm going to the beach!" Nana quickly said cheerfully.
"It's still April. It's very cold. You want to date on the beach?" Shishio asked without saying anything.
"Ke - Dating?!"
Shishio is speechless when Nana is confused, they kiss each other, and she is ashamed of dating?
Shishio wonders what this girl is thinking, but if she finds out that Nana thinks that they may be related*** after they get home from dating, then, he could only say that not only was a man full of dirty thoughts, but a girl was also full of dirty thoughts.
"Alright, let's talk about this again tomorrow."
"Um, I'll see you tomorrow, Muah~."
After leaving the kiss of her call, Nana ended their call because she was embarrassed!
"....." Shishio's.
'If you're ashamed, then don't do it.' That was what Shishio wanted to say, but his phone was already closed, so he didn't think too much.
He would then walk again, but his phone shook again.
"..."
Shishio quickly connected the call again and found out who called him.
"So, did you succeed?"
"...."
Somehow, this question was a bit strange because Shishio knew what this girl was asking, but somehow, he didn't really want to answer this question because it was so rude.
"What do you mean?"
"Sorry, my question is a bit too harsh" Saki said quickly.
"No, it's okay, it's perfectly normal if you react like that," Shishio said calmly as he felt it was perfectly normal for Saki to feel jealous and bitter.
"If you understand, can you break up with her?" ask Saki.
"Sorry." Shishio had confessed, and Saki told him to break up immediately, there was no way he could do that, even if in the future, he would not do such a thing, but after hearing the answer, there was no way he could do that, Saki didn't seem angry.
"It's okay, I've prepared myself, and I also know that you will answer me with this answer," Saki said calmly.
Shishio was silent for a while and said, "I'm anticipating our date on Sunday."
"Eh, me too." His voice was full of gentleness as he said those words.
Then they spoke for a while before ending their call.
Shishio knew that he had done something regretful to Saki, but even so, he could not stop her, and he did not regret it.
The only thing he could do was to make him not regret his decision and be happy.
It may seem difficult for a normal man, but for him, he needs to do both, and he will.
Shishio then continued walking, and somehow his steps became lighter than before.
He knew that thinking about his problem with that negative outlook was not good, and it would only make him tired, so all he could do now was see that everything was fine, she said, and he knew that he would be fine.
He's looking for connections, he's looking for relationships, and he knows that he has them now.
They had sacrificed themselves for him, so he knew that he could not let them down and make sure they would be happy.
He had seen his direction, and now, he knew that he would not get lost.
Take her steps gently but surely, she will learn to love them.
