Shishio and Nanami spent as long as they could on the beach together, enjoying their time together.
While Shishio knew why Nanami had decided to make such a decision, he also knew how stubborn she was. If he forced their relationship, she would become even stubborn, and their relationship would become awkward.
Shishio knew how to handle Nanami's problem, but before that, he needed to take care of the problems that she kept inside her heart.
However, before that, Shishio needed to think about how to punish this naughty maid so she wouldn't fight her master again.
Still, Shishio knew that there was another girl that he needed to face since he knew that this girl had been listening to his conversation with Ritsu before.
'Let's do it slowly.'
After the sun rose quite high, Shishio and Nanami returned reluctantly, but it couldn't be helped since they wanted to keep their relationship a secret.
However, many of them were still sleeping when they returned and hadn't woken up.
In the end, many of them had only woken up at nine.
"So, where are we going after this?" Mayumi asked.
Their trip would end tonight, and they couldn't stay in the hotel again, but even so, they still wanted to go somewhere.
"I'd thought about going to either Tateyama Castle or Mount Nokogiriyama."
Shishio wanted to dive, but considering the weather of the sea was three months late, then the temperature of the sea should be frigging cold now. Truthfully, there weren't many things on Tateyama, and the thing that interested him was either Tateyama Castle or Mount Nokogiriyama.
In the Tateyama Castle, they could watch over the castle, observe it, and try a replica of samurai armor in the 1600s.
On the other hand, there was something interesting about Mount Nokogiriyama.
"What's so interesting about that mountain?" Hiratsuka asked.
"What's so interesting? If I have to say, then it should be the scenery of Chiba and Tokyo from the high place. There are also many huge buddha statues, and lastly, there's also a "View of Hell," Shishio said dramatically.
"View of Hell?!"
Their expression changed when they heard about the "View of Hell," and they showed an interest.
However...
"We're going to climb a mountain, right?" Ryuunosuke asked in a frown. It wasn't that he was going to brag, but his stamina wasn't his strong point. Instead, he was weak since he had always stayed in his room, becoming a shut-in most of the time.
"You don't need to worry. I won't mention this place if there isn't something that helps you to climb since we have many people who don't have much stamina." Shishio glanced at Shiina, Ritsu, Yukinoshita, Misaki, Mayumi, and Sayaka.
Those girls quickly looked away when they noticed Shishio's gaze.
As for Sayaka, Shishio knew that this girl's stamina was high since she was living on the farm, but she didn't want to sweat since it might destroy her make-up.
Sayaka, who kept her smile, froze for a moment, but she still maintained her smile.
'No, no, it's just my imagination, right?'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSayaka thought inwardly and kept her sweet smile.
Shishio didn't look at Sayaka again, but personally, he was amazed by her make-up skill since Sayaka's make-up skill might not lose to Shiina's painting skill.
As they ate their breakfast, they talked for a moment before they made their decision on where they would go today.
"I can't believe that I'm going to climb on the mountain..." Ryuunosuke said grimly. He was just a weak shut-in. How could he climb a mountain?
"You're not going to climb the mountain. We're going to ride on the ropeway." Shishio looked at Ryuunsouke and said, "If you're worried, after Golden Week, how about you join my morning workout? If you don't maintain your health, you might have trouble with your back in the future." Unlike Shiina, he couldn't bring Ryuunosuke on the night exercise, not that he wanted to either.
"Let me worry about that problem in the future." His principle was simple. It was just a problem in the future, so Ryuunosuke decided to worry about that problem in the future.
"Okay, okay, don't cry in the future if you have trouble when having sex in the future." Shishio didn't care much and walked away.
However, Ryuunosuke opened his eyes wide before he blinked his eyes and looked toward the sky, letting out a long sigh.
After they bought the ticket for the ropeway, they entered the car together as they watched over the scenery through a high place.
Shiina and Misaki pressed their faces together against the window as they watched the forest, sea, and many other things that they could see, which amazed them somehow.
Shishio took pictures one after another until someone asked him a question.
"Shishio."
"What's wrong, Chihiro-nee?"
"If we climb up by foot, how long are we going to reach the summit?" Chihiro asked curiously. It might be because she stayed in the city for a long time that this scenery interested her.
"It should be an hour or so," Shishio said.
"One hour?!"
Their lips trembled when they thought they needed to climb up for an hour.
Shishio shook his head and thought that the trend of mountain girl hadn't come yet, so their reaction was quite normal. "It might be an hour, but you'll see many interesting sceneries."
"For example?" Hiratsuka asked.
"There are beautiful quarry ruins and 1500 arhat statues with each have a unique facial expression." Shishio thought that it was quite interesting when he thought about how those people in the past were able to build such an amazing thing in the past.
After all, unlike today, where there were many convenient tools, in the past, they could only use their hands and manual tools to create all of the wonderful creations.
Still, Shishio also didn't feel surprised at why they were about to create those things since, in the past, there wasn't any interesting entertainment besides sex. If they didn't have a woman, they could only bite their lips and sleep. Also, in the past, science wasn't so developed, so people were more religious and often linked everything, whether it was a disaster or a blessing, into divine-related matters such as Deity, God, and many other things, which was why they could create so many buddha statues in this mountain.
Before long, they arrived at the peak, and they could see the "View of Hell" that was so famous on this mountain.
"The view of hell" is a vertigo-inducing top lookout point.
It gets its evocative name from the chills and wobbly feeling you get when you look out over the landscape stretching out to the horizon and realize all there is between you and the canyon floor below is a thin metal railing.
Mayumi, who saw the "View of Hell," didn't hesitate to bring everyone there with a smile.
"Wait! Wait! Mayumi-san, don't bring me there!" Ritsu cried out.
While they were nervous, they also tried to stand on the "View of Hell," and they must admit it gave them a chill.
However, Shishio was quite nervous and hugged Shiina's waist since this girl stretched out her head, looking down from the summit. "Do you like it, Mashiro?"
"Um." Shiina nodded and said, "It's interesting."
"..."
Shishio thought that Shiina was a challenger, and he thought they might try to do it outdoors next time since this girl loved nature so much.
While the "View of Hell" was interesting, there were many interesting things on the top of the Mountain of Nokogiriyama, such as the biggest Buddha statue, and there were also thousands of Onegai Jizo statues that could grant someone's wish.
"Shishio, take a picture!" Mayumi said excitedly.
Shishio somehow had become the photographer of everyone, especially after they saw the result of the photos.
"Oga, where did you learn photography?" Hiratsuka asked.
"Kyoto," Shishio said simply.
Hiratsuka wondered whether there were so many things in Kyoto that Shishio could learn many unique things there.
While they enjoyed the scenery there, Shiina also drew many things in this place.
Shishio sat down on the bench as he checked the photos he had taken.
"Here."
"Thanks."
Shishio didn't look up and took the can of cola before he drank it.
"How are the photos?" Yukinoshita asked as she sat next to Shishio.
"It's great." Shishio showed the photo to Yukinoshita and said, "Look, your smile is beautiful here."
"...."
Yukinoshita was stunned by Shishio's sudden praise, which made her blush, but then she looked at the photo that he had taken and became even stunned when she saw herself smiling happily there, playing with the stray cat that she found on the mountain.
"You really love cats, Senpai."
Yukinoshita pouted and felt quite annoyed. "Do you think it is a problem?"
"No, it's your free choice to love a cat or not, and personally, I also love a cat too."
His girlfriend was like a cat, so Shishio loved a cat, and he even kept it on the Sakurasou.
As for Hikari, the cat that Sorata picked up, it was being taken care of by his people, so there was no need to worry.
"Now that you mention it." Shishio suddenly remembered his promise to Yukinoshita and said, "We have promised to visit the cat cafe, right? How about at the end of Golden Week?" However, he didn't receive a response. "Senpai?"
"Shishio-kun."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes?"
"You date more than one girl, right?" Yukinoshita said as she looked into his eyes. She just happened to hear the conversation that Shishio had with Ritsu, and the content of that conversation was just unbelievable. She should tell him that it was wrong and scold him, but she just couldn't, especially after hearing all of the contents until the end.
"It wasn't a good habit to eavesdrop, Senpai," Shishio said with a sigh.
"...I have to apologize to you for that, but I want to confirm from your mouth," Yukinoshita said and kept staring at Shishio.
"Yes. I'm a scumbag." Shishio nodded calmly and said, "You must have heard everything, right? So I don't need to explain to you again why I decided to do this."
Yukinoshita opened her mouth then closed it again. Her feelings conflicted, especially after hearing the conversation between Shishio and Ritsu.
There was a silence between them until Shishio broke that silence.
"Senpai, I'd have a lot of fun with you. Whether it was our meaningless talk or the time we just stayed in the clubroom without doing anything. Frankly, our first meeting had always been weird whether it was at the entrance of the school, the corridor, or at the convenience store..." Shishio's expression was quite awkward when he thought about his every meeting with Yukinoshita since all of them had always been weird.
Yukinoshita's expression was also quite awkward, but then her expression became warm since even though their meeting had always been awkward, it was unforgettable for her.
"Senpai, while I know that it is selfish, I hope that your attitude toward me won't change." Shishio felt it was impossible, but he just wanted to try it. "Also, please don't fall in love with me."
"..........."
Yukinoshita didn't say anything for a moment before she looked at Shishio. "You don't need to worry. My attitude toward you has never changed. You have always been a pervert in my heart."
"........." Shishio.
"I won't say anything about your relationship with many girls since the others have already scolded you, but let me remind you, if you hurt them, then I'll cut down the thing between your legs." Yukinoshita stared at Shishio's little brother.
"..........." Shishio squeezed his legs as he nodded. "The last thing that I won't do in this life is to hurt my women."
Yukinoshita nodded, but then she snorted and said, "Also, you don't need to worry and don't be too narcissistic. I won't fall in love with a scumbag like you."
Shishio blinked his eyes and then smiled. "That's good to know. I'm glad to have you as a friend, Senpai."
"Shishio, come here! Take a picture of us!"
Shishio looked in the direction of Chihiro, who called him out.
"You should go there," Yukinoshita suddenly said.
"Is that alright?" Shishio asked.
"What are you asking me for?" Yukinoshita raised her eyebrow and said, "I'm just your friend, so you don't need to think too much about me."
"It's because you're my friend that I care about you, right?" Shishio said weirdly.
Yukinoshita looked at Shishio for a moment and said, "Okay, don't forget about our appointment at the cat cafe."
"Okay, I'll call you then." Shishio stood up then walked toward Chihiro.
Yukinoshita looked at Shishio's back that slowly moved further before she looked toward the blue sky. It was beautiful scenery, but somehow it felt lonely since it was far away.
As Shishio had explained about reverse physiology before.
When someone tells you not to do it, you have an urge to do that thing.
Still, with that conversation, their holiday on Tateyama was about to end.
