I Refuse To Become Scumbag In Tokyo
Women's Problems in Their 30s

"That, Oga-kun, let me help you."

*thesis!*

"That's hot!"

Sorata stood up and was about to grab the pot from the table in a hurry, but he did not expect the pot to still be hot and therefore almost made him throw the pot to the ground.

"It's okay Kanda-kun, you can just go back. I'll do the cleaning. You just moved in today. There must be a lot of things you need to clean, right? There's also a school entrance ceremony tomorrow, so you should take an early break. I'll be fine here."

Shishio looked at Sorata, who was still holding his red hand, and told him that he could go back first.

"Okay, Oga-kun, I'm sorry for bothering you."

Sorata looked at his swollen red hand and said nothing, receiving Shishio's kindness. He still had a lot of unsorted luggage and if he did not clear his luggage, then he might not have a place to sleep.

"Kawai-senpai, I'll be fine here, so you should go back and prepare for the entrance ceremony tomorrow."

Shishio looked at Ritsu, who stood up without saying a word on the side, he did not say much and told her to come back because she could clear this up very quickly. She was about to clean the dishes, but she felt uneasy when she was stared at by Ritsu who did not move from her side.

"...."

Ritsu stood beside Shishio without saying anything.

"..."

Shishio also turned his head towards Ritsu and did not say anything, waiting for him to say something.

"..."

However, Ritsu continued to stare at Shishio without speaking.

'This woman...'

"Is there something, Kawai-senpai?" Shishio asked directly.

Ritsu was about to say something, but she hesitated.

"...."

Shishio then coughed and said, "Would it be great if someone could help me clean the dishes, I wonder if someone can help me?" He had prepared the bait and waited for Ritsu to take the bait but...

"......"

Ritsu still looked at him without saying anything.

"..."

"Kawai-senpai, can you help me?" Shishio felt too tired to beat around the bush.

"okay."

Ritsu nodded and also began to help Shishio wash the dishes.

Shishio glanced at Ritsu and felt a bit strange because he had suddenly had problems with communication ever since he remembered earlier that he could talk to her very well, she said, but she thought that she might still be worried about what had happened before, so she decided to stay and help.

Other people might also notice it, especially Chihiro, who immediately left awkwardly.

The speed at which two people were washing dishes was quite fast and before long, they had cleaned the dining room and kitchen, then put unused ingredients into the refrigerator.

Shishio washed his hands, dried them with a towel, and was about to leave, but he saw Ritsu standing beside him in silence. He had to admit that this girl was a bit troublesome, but this girl was rather cute and she had also triggered a quest that caused her to get a reward so her patience was good enough.

"Senpai?"

"...That's what happened before..." Ritsu looked at Shishio with a reddish face, not knowing how to speak.

"Senpai, if you're worried about what has happened before then you don't have to worry. Look, I'm fine, and my nose is fine, if you don't believe me then you can touch it."

Shishio did not wait for Ritsu's reply and took her hand to touch her nose.

Ritsu blushed and could not bear it anymore, ran away and left, and soon disappeared from Shishio's sight.

If Shishio's EQ was low then he thought that this girl might be angry or perhaps disgusted by his previous actions, but he knew that this girl was embarrassed and at the same time, was disgusted, although it may sound narcissistic, she knows that she has good feelings about him.

Unfortunately, Shishio did not have a good feeling towards Ritsu because this girl was troublesome and in her mind, Rui was the first time, she was not, or the Mui he met at the bookstore was several times better than this girl.

Shishio yawns and decides to go to bed early.

*Snarling!*

When Shishio enters his room, suddenly his stomach goes off and knows that he has not eaten enough before.

Although Shishio ate it before, he used most of his time to talk and after his physical ability doubled, he also needed more food to eat. He thought for a moment and decided to go to the convenience store.

Shishio looked at the time and saw it was almost 9 p.m.

The convenience store was open 24 hours a day, so there would be no problem for him to leave now.

Shishio looked at his dirty clothes and thought of washing them tomorrow.

When Shishio came out of the room, going downstairs, except for the corridor, he could see that the entire Sakuraou was pitch black. It seemed that everyone had returned to their rooms. He replaced his sandals with his shoes at the entrance and went straight out of Sakurasou.

"Huh? Shishio, why did you come out so late?" Chihiro asked as she looked at Shishio suspiciously.

"Chiro-nee, I feel a little hungry so I want to go to the nearest minimarket to buy something. I'll be right back, but Chihiro-nee, why are you here?"

Shishio had not expected to meet Chihiro when she was about to go out. He might not have noticed it before, but this woman was standing alone in the courtyard by herself. If Chihiro did not talk to him then he thought that he might be sleeping while walking.

"Oh, I had a headache, writing materials for textbooks so I decided to quit smoking to relax. If you go to a convenience store, can you buy me a dozen beers?"

"..."

Shishishio fell silent and pointed to himself, then said, "Chiro-nee, I'm still a minor."

"Oh. I forgot."

Chihiro patted her forehead and only realized that Shishio was just a freshman in high school so it was impossible for her to buy him a beer.

Shishio did not think too much. He waved his hand and said, "Then I leave, Chihiro-nee."

"Okay, watch as you walk."

Chihiro looked at Shishio's back and when she saw he had left, Sakurasou returned to his silence again. He sighed and massaged his temple.

"When can I get married? Should I go to a matchmaking match again?"

Chihiro thought of the phone call from her mother just now and mainly talked about who was getting married and who was getting married, or who was pregnant and who had just given birth, however, the conversation made her become anxious and uncomfortable because she was single for a long time.

Even if her mother told her to get married, it was also impossible to do any time soon because most of the reasons why she could not get married were force majeure that she could not control.

Chihiro thinks about the group dates she usually does with her friends and she only catches the attention of the remaining men.

Chihiro knows that she is not ugly and she is pretty enough, but she cannot get married so it is the fault of the men who did not choose to marry her! He was innocent and it could be said that the world was wrong!

Chihiro then thinks Shishio who asked her to get married during her childhood has become a good young man...

'What am I thinking? He's your nephew!'

Chihiro quickly shook her head and could not help but think of her friend, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was also in the same situation as her, although Hiratsuka was several years younger than her, Hiratsuka was still single. With Shizuka beside him, he felt quite relieved and there was nothing for him to worry about.

Chihiro let out a long sigh and felt tired.

"Forget it, I don't want to think anymore. Better get back to bed to sleep."

Chihiro yawns and returns to her room to sleep, after all, she has everything in her dream, but she wonders why her husband in the dream was similar to someone she knew.
