Chapter 257 - Let's Be Friends

Shishio took a deep breath then asked, "Senpai, why do you want me to join the club?"

Hearing Shishio's questions, Yukinoshita showed a smile and had a confident expression on her face. "Oga-kun, you're a delinquent, right?"

"..."

Shishio blinked his eyes and wondered what this girl was talking about. "No, I'm not a delinquent."

Yukinoshita nodded as if she had expected Shishio's answer. "It's alright, you don't need to force yourself to admit your delinquency, and I won't report it either, but you should know that you might cause trouble to your parents and yourself if you continue this way."

"....."

Shishio looked at Yukinoshita and asked, "Let's say that I'm a delinquent. You don't have an obligation to help me, right?" He knew that this girl had a big misunderstanding about him, but he also couldn't blame her either, considering she thought of him riding on a motorcycle without a driving license.

However, Shishio had to admit that he might also be a delinquent since he had joined an underground fighting arena, and he also had fought few people after he came to Tokyo, but there was no way that he would say that, right?

Even Hiratsuka, the adviser of this club, had seen him fighting a group of people, didn't invite him to the club since she knew that Shishio wasn't a troubled student. Instead, he was a model student. Even though he ignored the lesson most of the time by reading a book during the class, he was quiet, and his seat was on the back, so the teachers didn't say much either since his result was everything.

"Our adviser, Hiratsuka-sensei, once said that exceptional people have a duty to help the less fortunate," Yukinoshita said.

"Senpai, do you think that I'm less fortunate?" Shishio asked. He knew about the "Noblesse Oblige," but wasn't it obvious that he wasn't part of the group that needed the help of exceptional people?

Shishio knew that he was exceptional, and he also had a system. He might not have told someone before, but sometimes, he thought to dominate this world by creating a virus and turning 80% of the human population into a zombie, then controlling them, becoming the God of the new world!

Shishio wasn't joking since he had that ability. By combining his "Language Mastery" and "Hypnosis Mastery," he could control various animals, and it was also possible to control a zombie whose intelligence wasn't high. As for humans, who had a complex mind, it was also possible for him, but he needed time to control them.

Shishio also felt that the total population of people on earth was too much. By turning 80% of the human population, leaving only 20% of the total population, no one would be worried that the resources on earth would be exhausted and everyone could live happily without worry.

Lastly, if Shishio was a less fortunate person, then there wouldn't be any exceptional people in this world.

".........."

"I'm not saying that you're less fortunate, but your attitude might cause you trouble," Yukinoshita said without hesitation.

"If it's about the motorcycle, then you don't need to worry. I have a driving license," Shishio said and showed his driving license to Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita didn't say much and took Shishio's driving license quietly, looking at it for a while before she gave it back to him. She didn't say anything for a while, looking at Shishio for a moment, and asked, "You don't want to join the club?"

Shishio looked at Yukinoshita for a moment and asked with a teasing tone, "You want me to join, Senpai?"

"...."

Yukinoshita couldn't say anything and her face flushed since she felt embarrassed!

Shishio was a bit amused and asked, "Why do you want me to join?"

Hearing this question, Yukinoshita took a deep breath as she looked at Shishio. "Oga-kun, I think that you're an exceptional person, and I think that you're suitable to join this club, so why shouldn't we guide those less fortunate people together?"

"Even though you said that I'm a delinquent?" Shishio asked in a tease.

"....." Yukinoshita.

"Senpai, why don't you tell me the truth?" Shishio moved his seat closer naturally as he rested his head on Yukinoshita's table, staring at her eyes without looking away.

"Wh - What?" Yukinoshita blushed and flustered, but she didn't show her weakness and kept staring at Shishio.

Both of them stared at each other without looking away, and both of them had to admit that she/he was handsome/beautiful.

Still, her heart was beating so fast, Yukinoshita had a hard time maintaining her calm and somehow understood why most girls in her class were crazy about him.

"The reason why you want me to join the club is..."

*Gulp!*

Yukinoshita couldn't maintain her calm, and her heart was beating so fast, but...

"You're greedy for the cat's photo, right?" Shishio said.

"..."

Somehow Yukinoshita felt cold water pouring down on the top of her head, and her heart was so cold at this moment, especially when she saw Shishio teasing smile. She felt a bit annoyed and couldn't help but pull his ear.

"It hurts! Senpai, what are you doing!" Shishio cried, acting as if it was hurt.

"Hmph!" Yukinoshita snorted, but she let go of Shishio's ear. "I didn't pull your ear so hard. Why are you acting so exaggeratedly?" She saw Shishio, who rubbed his ear as if her action really hurt him, which made her heart soften and wondering whether she might have done too much?

The truth, Shishio was just pretending, but he wouldn't say this out loud since he didn't want to make her angry again. He had teased her enough, so there was no need to add more chaos. He then looked at Yukinoshita and said, "Well, I don't mind joining, but I can't join if there's only the two of us in this club."

"I know." Yukinoshita nodded and didn't say much since she also didn't want to cause a misunderstanding with Shishio's girlfriend. Still, she just couldn't understand why she felt so uncomfortable at that moment.

"Besides that matter, I also want to tell you that I might not be able to join the club that much since I have joined a club and I'm quite busy," Shishio said.

"Have you joined a club? What kind of club? Sports?" If it was a sport, then Yukinoshita also understood why Shishio couldn't join her club since she knew how hard a sports club was. She had seen the members of the baseball club who trained both in the morning and after school almost every day, and if he joined the baseball club, then he might not have much of a chance to join her club.

"Literature," Shishio said.

"..."

Unexpected.

That was how Yukinoshita thought at that moment since she could see how well-built Shishio's body was, and she also had heard that he was so good with football, so she thought that he might join a sports club, so she didn't expect him to join the literature club.

However, the image of the scholar was also unexpectedly suitable for Shishio.

"Do you like literature?" Yukinoshita asked curiously.

"My dream is to become a writer, then live from royalty," Shishio said without changing his face.

"....." Yukinoshita.

"Then by accumulating the popularity that I have gained by writing, I'll enter politics, then become prime minister," Shishio said, full of confidence.

"...." Yukinoshita.

Shishio was waiting for her to retort him, but he saw Yukinoshita was stunned which made him speechless so he said, "Senpai, you know, you should laugh at this situation."

"............"

Yukinoshita let out a long sigh while rubbing her temple tiredly.

Shishio only laughed and rested his head on Yukinoshita's table again.

The distance between the two had become so close, and Shishio tested Yukinoshita whether she was alright by him invading her personal space.

Yukinoshita didn't say anything, and even though she was a bit shy when Shishio was so close, she didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, she felt strangely relaxed and comfortable. She sighed and said, "Your dream is surely big."

"Boys, be ambitious."

"William S. Clark's quote, huh?"

"I'm a man. Of course, I should have a big ambition."

Shishio smiled and said, "I have come to Tokyo from Kyoto. Of course, I need to do something big, right?"

Looking at him, who was resting on the table lazily while smiling toward her, Yukinoshita wasn't sure whether Shishio was joking or not. Still, if he was serious, she might not doubt that he might be able to achieve his ambition, and at the same time, she had to admit that her instinct as a woman told her that there might not be a better man other than him in this world, but...

Yukinoshita shook her head and quickly threw that thought away.

"By the way, Senpai."

"Hmm?"

His voice quickly awoken Yukinoshita, and she looked at him curiously, wondering what Shishio was going to say.

"Let's be friends," Shishio said sincerely.

"..."

Yukinoshita was stunned, but then she looked away, hiding her blush with the camera, then nodded shyly. "Um."

Looking at Yukinoshita, Shishio had to admit that this girl was adorable.

They talked for a while before Yukinoshita continued to look at the photos he had taken on the camera.

Yukinoshita had to admit that no matter how many times she saw the photos that Shishio had taken, it was amazing, especially when the quality of the camera had become better. She thought that he could become a photographer, but then when she thought about a photographer, without a doubt, there would be a model. Thinking that he might indulge himself in those models, she felt that it might be good to support him on his dream to become a writer then become a prime minister.

Anyway, her father was a diet member, and as Shishio had said before, "Boys, be ambitious!"

They were friends, so in the future, if Shishio decided to become prime minister, Yukinoshita would support him, but before that...

"Oga-kun, where did you take this photo?"

Looking at Yukinoshita, whose eyes were red as if she had taken a drug, Shishio had to admit that this girl's addiction toward a cat was too much, right?

---

Before the end of the break, both Shishio and Yukinoshita walked back to their class, walking next to each other.

"Now that you mention it before, you're from Kyoto, right?" Yukinoshita asked and thought that Shishio had the guts to come to Tokyo from Kyoto. She also wasn't from Tokyo, but she wasn't that far from her family since she was coming from Chiba.

"Yes." Shishio nodded and didn't think too much since he had never hidden his origin. He also knew that there was a lot of discrimination in Japan as most people from the town would look down on someone who was coming from the countryside. Still, he was coming from Kyoto, no one looked down on him, but they had some kind of prejudice like he always drank green tea or he wore traditional Japanese clothes all the time. It was harmless, so he didn't think too much, but he had to admit that it was annoying.

"Alone?"

"No, I'm living in a dorm that my aunt manages," Shishio said.

"Dorm?" Yukinoshita looked at Shishio curiously.

"Sakurasou," Shishio said, but then, when he reached the 1st floor, he saw a girl that was about to be splashed by water from someone above position, so without hesitation, he dashed to that girl to save that girl.

"Sakurasou!" Yukinoshita was dumbfounded, but before she said something, she was stunned when she saw Shishio move so fast toward somewhere. "Oga-kun?" She quickly followed the direction where he had gone, then saw an unexpected scene.

Shishio, who dashed, quickly pulled the girl's waist with his arm, then moved her away from the spot that was about poured with water.

The girl was stunned when someone hugged her and pulled her so suddenly, but then she saw a lot of water was dropped in front of her.

*Splash!*

Shishio looked up and saw some girls who dropped water from a bucket, and when they noticed him, they quickly ran away. He couldn't help but shake his head, then looked at the girl on his arm and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Ah!"

It might be because this accident was so sudden that the girl was stunned and only reacted now. She didn't care much that she was on Shishio's arm. Instead, she was glad on his arm at that moment since she knew that he had helped her. She turned her head and was stunned for a moment before she looked at him with a blush and a shy smile. "Thank you."

<Target has been found!>

<Congratulations, you have received "Enhanced Testicles">

"....."

Shishio was stunned but wasn't toward the girl instead toward his reward.

'What the heck?'
