Chapter 316 - Mai: Treasure This Memory Well, Alright?

Mai had been waking up after she smelled a sweet smell from the yard before, but when she woke up, she was panicked when Shishio had disappeared. However, when she found his letter on her side, she calmed down and sighed in relief since she knew that he was still able to see her, and at the same time, she was also surprised to learn Shiina was also able to see her.

"Should I go back now?"

Mai sighed in relief, but at the same time, she also realized how troublesome her situation was. She was sleeping in the boy's room who wasn't her family, nor her lover.

'If someone knows about this and sells this news to the gossip magazine, then they might make a lot of money.'

Mai let out a sigh as she leaned on Shishio's bed. She didn't care if she was known to sleep on Shishio's bed, or rather, it might not be bad since that way someone wouldn't ignore her again.

'Wait, can I do that?'

Mai thought that if the news knew that she was together with Shishio was known, then without a doubt, she would be quickly noticed by everyone, and her problem might be solved, but there was one big problem.

'He has a girlfriend...'

Mai sighed when she thought about this and felt a bit depressed, especially when she thought about how Shiina slept on Shishio's side last night. She had also awoken in the middle of the night and saw Shishio and Shiina sleeping together, making her feel uncomfortable. However, she could only snort before she lay on his bed again. She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she didn't expect that she would sleep so soundly, which made her blame Shishio's bed for being so comfortable.

Besides being so comfortable, the smell of his bed was so stimulating that she just wanted to sniff it several times. Fortunately, when she sniffed his pillow, Shishio wasn't in his room or else, he would think of her as a pervert, and she didn't want that.

It had been a while since Mai had a comfortable sleep since she just couldn't sleep most of the days after she had her condition.

Mai had been afraid, and there was no way that she could have a good sleep, so it was just surprised her that she could sleep so soundly when she slept on his bed.

'Unfortunately...'

Mai was just leaning against the wall silently. Still, her stomach growled when she smelled a sweet smell from downstairs which made her wonder what it was. She waited for a while until she saw him walking out of Sakuraou, waving his hand toward the members of Sakurasou. She kept looking at him until she saw him look at her with a smile.

When Mai saw his smile, she blushed once again, and even though she knew that this guy was a scumbag, she somehow understood why there were so many girls who could fall for him.

With the eye contact between the two, they understood each other, and Mai waited for him quietly until the door of his room was opened.

"Sorry to make you wait, Mai," Shishio said.

"No problem." Mai shook her head and asked, "Did I cause you trouble?"

Shishio didn't answer Mai's question for a moment, then nodded. "Well, you caused me some trouble."

"Sorry..." Mai apologized meekly, but then her chin was lifted by Shishio, which made her dumbfounded. She opened her eyes wide when he was about to move closer and subconsciously closed her eyes since she thought that he was going to kiss her, but after she waited for a while, she didn't feel that she was kissed instead she felt his hand on her forehead which made her strange. She opened her eyes then looked at him with a questioning expression.

"Weird..." Shishio murmured. "You're not sick?"

"....."

"Who is sick?!" Mai quickly slapped Shishio's hand, annoyedly, before she pouted and looked away.

"Sorry, sorry, but it's weird to see you suddenly apologize to me," Shishio said with a smile.

Looking at this smile, Mai could only grumble annoyedly and wanted to tell him to stop smiling at her since it made her hard to concentrate. She wanted to say something again, but...

*Growl!*

"..."

Neither Shishio nor Mai said anything in this situation until he broke the silence. "There's a Baumkuchen. Do you want to eat it?"

"Yes." Mai nodded with a blush, wondering why Shishio often saw her blunder from time to time, which made her a bit depressed sometimes. It somehow damaged her pride as his senior made her wonder who was older and younger in their relationship?

---

As Mai ate the Baumkuchen, her eyes shone brightly, wondering where Shishio had bought it.

"Is it good?" Shishio asked.

"Um!" Mai nodded with a smile then asked, "Where did you buy it?"

"You can't buy it."

"Huh? Why?" Mai was dumbfounded.

"Because I made it," Shishio said.

"..." Mai opened her eyes wide, then looked at the Baumkuchen she almost ate, and asked, "Did you bake this?"

"Yes." Shishio nodded and asked, "What do you think?"

Mai felt complicated and could only say, "...It's delicious." However, somehow, she felt regret after she said those words, especially when she saw Shishio's smug grin. "Can you wipe that smug grin off your face? It's a bit annoying."

"It's great that you like it."

Mai ignored Shishio as she continued to eat. "Do you like to cook?"

"Not really."

"..." Mai was dumbfounded and asked, "You don't like to cook, yet you can cook something so delicious?"

"I don't really like to cook, but I like to see someone's expression happily eating my food. Like what you do now," Shishio said with a smile.

"..." Mai blinked her eyes before she lowered her head slightly since she didn't want this guy to notice that she was blushing.

Shishio also had enough to tease Mai, so he asked, "So what's your plan, Mai?"

"Let's go back to my house first. I want to change my clothes," Mai said.

"Alright." Shishio nodded and asked, "Do you want to go there by motorcycle or public transportation?"

"I have troubled you enough. Let's go there by public transportation," Mai said without hesitation.

Shishio nodded and didn't overthink since that was her decision. "Please wait here for a moment. I want to take a bath first."

"Okay."

"If you're bored, you can read some books there." Leaving those words, Shishio walked out with some clothes in his hands.

"Book?"

Mai looked around. Then her eyes quickly focussed on the book whose title interested her so much. Her cheeks were tinted with a cute blush, and after confirming that she was alone, she decided to take that book, and her eyes were wide open, thinking of the costume that she had bought before.

"Is this his type?" Mai murmured as she flipped to the next page of the book.

---

As Shishio took a bath, Roberta slipped into the bath directly, making him speechless.

"Let me wash your back, Shishio-sama," Roberta said.

"...Um." Shishio was lost for words, but he didn't say much and asked, "What if someone enters?"

"You don't need to worry. Only Shiro-san is here, and as long as he enters his room, he will hole up for six or more hours," Roberta said.

"You know everyone's habits?" Shishio asked weirdly.

"Yes." Roberta looked at Shishio and said, "Isn't it normal?"

'It's not normal.' Shishio thought, but he wouldn't say it out loud.

"By the way, Shishio-sama, I noticed someone inside your room. Is this person related to the question that you asked me last night?" Roberta asked.

"Yes." Shishio sighed then said, "You might not believe my words, but do you want to listen?"

"Yes." Roberta nodded without hesitation.

Shishio then told Roberta about Mai's situation, which caused Roberta to feel surprised, but she didn't say anything, listening to his story quietly, and after he ended his story, she asked, "So you'll help her, right?"

"Yes." Shishio nodded and asked, "Is it alright for you, Roberta?"

Roberta showed a gentle smile and said, "Please help her, Shishio-sama." She could tell how frightening Mai's situation was. Luckily, she knew that Shishio would help her if she was in Mai's place. "So you're going to be late today?"

"Yes."

"Let me help you."

Shishio wanted to say something, but then his lips trembled when he felt Roberta's soft hand start to stroke his penis.

"I'm still on my period, so I can only do this much, so please bear with it, Shishio-sama," Roberta whispered with a sultry voice.

Shishio opened his mouth before he closed it again. "...Thank you, Roberta."

"No problem, I'm happy to help, but..."

Shishio looked at Roberta, who was looking at him with moistened eyes.

The gap between her cold side and warm side of her was something that Shishio couldn't bear, so he took her delicious lips, kissing them deeply as if trying to mark that she was his.

Mai was waiting in Shishio's room for so long, which made her wonder what he was doing, but she didn't say much since it was still in the morning. She wanted to get out of his room, but she was afraid that she might trouble him. She waited for a while, then the door opened, and she sighed in relief when she saw him. 'Still, he seems to be refreshed.' She felt a bit envious when she saw Shishio had taken a bath, showing how refreshed he was, which made her want to take a bath too.

"Sorry for making you wait, Mai. Let me pack something before we go out."

"Okay."

Shishio took his baseball cap, camera, bag and put something inside his bag.

Watching Shishio prepare, Mai also stood up and waited for him near the entrance of his room. When she saw him finish preparing himself, she asked, "Should we go now?"

"Sure." Shishio nodded and walked out with Mai.

Still, when they walked, Mai grabbed Shishio's tip of sweeter.

Shishio looked at Mai with a sigh, then grabbed her hand directly.

Mai was dumbfounded, and she blushed. She wanted to ask him why Shishio suddenly held her hand, but then he said, "I don't want you to make my sweater become all loose."

"....."

Mai snorted, but she didn't say much, only she thought that she wanted to smack this guy's head since this junior was too cheeky, right?

They walked to the entrance, but Mai was dumbfounded when she saw Roberta.

"Good morning," Roberta said while looking at Mai.

Mai was surprised and asked, "...You can see me?"

"Yes." Roberta nodded.

Mai then quickly looked at Shishio, who smiled at her.

"You'll be alright. Don't worry."

Hearing those words, Mai also smiled and nodded. "Yes."

Roberta then sent Mai and Shishio to Mai's house and left them after she had sent them.

Shishio entered Mai's house again for the second time, but he didn't follow Mai in a hurry and observed the apartment building for a moment until Mai's voice woke him up.

"Shishio, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Shishio shook his head then asked, "So where are we going?" As they entered the building, he couldn't help but ask where this girl wanted to bring him.

"You're curious?" Mai asked with a smile.

"....." Shishio.

Being stared at silently by Shishio made Mai uncomfortable, so she snorted and said, "We're going to Odaiba."

"Odaiba?"

"You're not happy?" Mai asked.

"Of course not." Shishio shook his head and said, "After all, it is a rare chance for me to date an actress."

"Then you should treasure this memory well since you might not be able to have a date with an actress again in the future," Mai said with a smile.

Looking at Mai, Shishio wondered why this girl had raised a Flag.

'So we should have a lot of dates too in the future, huh?' Shishi looked at Mai, who showed a charming smile at him, making him smile. 'Well, I guess it isn't bad..' However, before that, he needed to solve Mai's situation, or else, everything would turn useless.
