I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo-Chapter 687: Tokyo Tower 1
Chapter 687: Tokyo Tower 1
“You want to visit this place?” Yui was in a daze.
“Yeah, I haven’t been here even though I have been in Tokyo for several months.” Shishio looked at Yui and asked, “Is that okay?”
“It’s okay! It’s okay! I am just surprised.” Yui was really surprised since she had never thought Shishio wanted to visit this place.
Tokyo Tower.
This was the place that Shishio wanted to visit.
If people came outside of Tokyo, this would be the thing that they thought about the most when they visited Tokyo.
In other words, this was the landmark of Tokyo, especially when this place was often shown on various shows on television.
It was the most noticeable thing when one visited Tokyo.
Yet unexpectedly, Shishio had never visited this place, which dumbfounded Yui. However, when she thought about it, she felt it was quite normal since it had also been a while since she had visited this place.
‘Probably when I was in elementary school?’
She recalled that she visited this place with her mother. She remembered while she was having fun, her mother looked into the distance when she happened to look at her. By then, she thought that the gaze of her mother was so sad for some certain reason, which made her hug her legs, causing her to smile gently and caress her hair.
She recalled how happy her mother was when she did that, which made this place quite memorable for her.
Yet she also didn’t visit this place again since she was afraid to evoke a certain memory of her mother.
“Well, I haven’t been here.”
In his first month, after he became Shishio Oga, he visited the Kyoto Tower. It wasn’t because he loved the tower, but because when he stood in a high place, everything would become small. It also made him realize that his problem was small compared to the vastness of the world, which made him visit a high place whenever he felt kind of blue.
However, he wasn’t alone anymore in this world, so he didn’t need to visit a high place anymore.
Still, he realized that even if he had been in Tokyo for a while, he had never visited this famous spot, so he thought to visit it. He also felt that it was also a good place to settle everything.
Yet why did he feel that this girl suddenly felt melancholy?
“Yui-senpai, what’s wrong?”
“Ah, um, nothing! I-I just remembered my childhood memory,” Yui said with a forced smile.
“If you don’t mind, can you tell me about it?”
“Eh? You want to hear it?” Yui was dumbfounded.
“I mean, your childhood. I want to know how you grow into a girl like this.”
“A girl like this?” Yui puffed her cheeks and asked, “You’re not saying I am a stupid girl, right?”
“No, I mean, how can you grow into such a gentle girl? I wonder how your childhood was.” Shishio was curious.
“Eh? Ah, um, don’t seduce me!”
“…” Shishio.
“However, I don’t mind telling you.” Yui smiled and said, “But how about we enter? We can talk while we’re going to the top.”
“Sure.”
The two walked together and entered the Tokyo Tower.
During the evening, the bright red of the tower became more noticeable, as if it had become the center of the city itself.
When they entered, they were quickly greeted by the staff that sold a ticket.
There were two tickets, which let them reach 150 meters of the tower, which was only the middle, and the top of the tower, which was 250 meters from the ground.
Naturally, the latter compared to the former, but he decided to go with the latter.
“Wait, let me treat you!” Yui suddenly said.
“Are you sure?” Shishio asked.
“Un!” Yui nodded and said, “You have treated me to food, after all, so let me do this!” She patted her chest and caused her breasts to sway. “Let this Onee-san take care of you, Shishio-kun!”
‘Onee-san…’
While Yui was a year older than him, it was hard to say that she was the older one. Instead, he felt he was the older one compared to her. She was also childish and kind of silly, which made it even harder for him to treat her as someone older, but since she had decided to treat him, he was going to spoil her.
“Thank you, Yui-nee.”
“Eh?!” Yui was startled and suddenly felt that her heart was beating so fast!
Her face was flushed red as she looked at him. “What did you call me?”
“Yui-senpai?”
“Not that one! The previous one! Call me that again! Also, use Onee-chan, please!” Yui looked at Shishio with a puppy-like eye, begging him to call her a big sister once again.
“If you want to dream, you should do it when you’re sleeping. Come on.” He knocked her head lightly and walked toward the lift that would lead him to the 150 meters area of the Tokyo Tower.
“Call me! Call me!”
However, Yui begged him even more since she wanted him to call her a big sister again!
“I have treated you, right? Call me, please~!”
The two entered the lift together, and when the door closed, he looked at her, who was still begging at him. He sighed and said while looking away, “Yui-onee-chan.”
“Wow! Wow! Wow!”
Yui was so excited that she was dancing around. She felt that her face was so hot. While she felt embarrassed, she also felt excited for some reason.
“I am the big sister!”
“…”
Shishio looked at Yui helplessly and felt a bit regretful for saying something embarrassing like that.
“Geez, you don’t need to get embarrassed, alright? Onee-chan is happy that you call me that,” Yui said with a bright smile as she linked her arm to him while rubbing her head against his arm happily.
“…”
Shishio was speechless, but he had to say that being with this girl was fun. He was sure that if they were together, their days wouldn’t be dull, and whenever he felt something, she would do everything to cheer him up.
Yui was a good girl.
Yet, it made him wonder how she felt when he became closer to her mother than she was thinking.
As they talked, they arrived in the 150 meters area and walked around, looking at the scenery of Tokyo through this area.
“Everything is so small here.”
“Yeah, those humans have become a group of trash.”
“…Shishiron, did Hikki affect you?” Yui thought this was a depressing way to describe something because of Hikkigaya’s effect.
“Then, should I say this place is amazing? It’s my first time seeing something like this!”
“…no, don’t do that. It doesn’t match your character.” Yui was speechless.
“You’re full of requests, aren’t you?” Shishio looked at Yui and asked, “By the way, I have noticed that sometimes you call me Shishiron, but sometimes, you call me Shishio-kun. Is there a reason for that?”
“Well, you know, it can’t be helped since I can’t help but call you with “-kun” instead of Shishiron. If I have to say, it is because of your aura?” Yui thought for a moment and said, “There is this something that makes me call you Shishio-kun instead of Shishiron.”
“And that is my aura?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s so ambiguous.”
Yui laughed awkwardly and said, “Sorry, I can’t explain it well, but it happens on the mood, okay?”
“It’s okay. I am not angry. It’s fun to hear someone call me Shishiron.” Shishio gently patted Yui’s head and said, “It’s like we’re close to each other somehow!”
“Hehe…” Yui laughed, feeling happy with his pat. “If that makes you happy, I will keep calling you that!”
Watching how easy she was to get happy, he wondered whether she had forgotten that she was the big sister at that moment.
They walked the entire area of the 150 meters area for a while. Someone might feel that it was kind of stingy, but the cost of entering the Tokyo Tower wasn’t exactly cheap, especially for students. However, Yui decided to treat him, so he was also going to enjoy this trip thoroughly.
While the scenery was the same, Yui’s story gave this trip a different feeling. As he had asked her before, she told him about her childhood. Unlike her high school time, in elementary and middle school, she was rather plain, and she was usually one of the girls who were forgotten on the side and followed the flow.
“The reason you changed is…”
“Haha…” Yui laughed awkwardly and said, “I want to change after all. I don’t want to stay the way I am.” Unlike in high school, where she had a lot of good memories and also got a true friend, in elementary school and middle school, most of her memories weren’t that good.
As she grew older, she also knew the importance of appearance for a woman.
If you were beautiful, everything would be easy.
However, if you weren’t good-looking, everything wouldn’t be easy.
This was a cruel truth, but this is how it was.
Unlike a man that could get a beautiful woman when they became rich. No matter how ugly, short, or fat you were, as long as you had money, the women, even the beautiful ones, would stick to you.
However, the woman was different.
Naturally, there was an exception, but it was rare.
“I see, but I want to see the plain you. You must be plainly cute at that time.” Shishio thought that she had changed because of Hikigaya, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.
“What do you mean by plainly cute?” She puffed her cheeks, but she asked, “But, do you want to see it?”
“Can I?”
“We-Well… if you come to my house, I will show you.”
While she was a bit embarrassed, she didn’t really mind him seeing her childhood photo.
“I can’t wait for it,” Shishio said with a smile.
Why do you want to know so much about me?
Yui wanted to ask that question, but she was afraid to ask.
“What’s wrong?”
“Hmm… let’s go to the top. The sky almost turns dark.”
“Okay.”
The two entered another lift, which would lead them to the top area of the tower. Still, unexpectedly, they entered the private lift to enter the top area, and the staff suddenly offered, “Let me take a photo of you two.”
“Eh? A photo?” Yui was surprised.
“Is it free?” Shishio asked.
“Yes.” The staff nodded.
Shishio also nodded, but he also knew the trick of the management of this Tokyo Tower. They would naturally give a free photo, but the size wasn’t big. It was a small one, and if one wanted to get the better version, one would have to pay.
However, they got a free photo, even if it was only a small one, so why should they hesitate?
“Let’s take a photo, Senpai?”
“Un!”
Yui was a bit embarrassed, but she put on her best smile as she raised her two fingers and hugged his arm boldly.
Shishio looked at Yui and moved closer, just right centimeters away from her cheek, causing her body to tense and blush shyly, but she was happy. He also raised two awkward fingers like Yui.
The two were like a couple who went on their first date, and they were quite stiff, but even so, it seemed so sweet and sour at the same time.
“It’s done,” the staff said with a bit of jealousy toward Yui.
“Thank you.” 2x
“You can take the photo later when you go down to the customer service area.”
They nodded before continuing their trip to the top area, and it was time to settle everything.
