I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo Chapter 426: Vending Machine

Chapter 426: Vending Machine

The two girls that appeared in front of the entrance of the Service Club were Yuigahama Yui and Rui Tachibana.

"Yahallo!" Yui greeted everyone at the Service Club happily before looking at Rui curiously.

"h.e.l.lo." Rui greeted everyone politely before looking at Yui curiously.

The two had met each other along the way, but neither of them knew each other, so neither talked to each other and only gently nodded at each other before they walked to their destination.

However, who would expect them to have a similar destination?

Still, while Yui was good at communicating, she had never taken the initiative, so she only gently nodded again while looking at Rui curiously.

On the other hand, while Rui was a good girl, she wasn't good at communicating with someone, so she also nodded at Yui while looking at her curiously.

The two girls looked at each other, wondering who they were.

"h.e.l.lo." Yukinos.h.i.+ta greeted Rui politely before she looked at Yui with her blank expression and asked, "What do you want?"

"What?" Yui was stunned by Yukinos.h.i.+ta's reaction, then asked, "Am I not really welcome here? Do you hate me, Yukinos.h.i.+ta?" She looked at Yukinos.h.i.+ta with an unsureness and anxiety but also a hint of hope, hoping everything was just a misunderstanding.

"I don't." Yukinos.h.i.+ta thought for a moment and said, "It's more like of dislike."

"They both mean the same thing in girl-speak!" Yui pouted and complained.

Yukinos.h.i.+ta ignored Yui and asked, "Tachibana-san, is there something wrong?"

"You're ignoring me?!" Yui protested, but she also looked at Rui curiously since she didn't expect someone would come to this place beside her.

"Yukinos.h.i.+ta-san, can I take s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o for a while?" Rui asked.

As for why Rui asked Yukinos.h.i.+ta, it was because Yukinos.h.i.+ta was the leader of this club, and s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o was just a member and a junior. Even though this club was relatively free and mostly did nothing, she still asked Yukinos.h.i.+ta's permission since it would be rude if she didn't do so.

Hearing Rui's request, Yukinos.h.i.+ta didn't show much change in her expression, but she felt uncomfortable. She knew that she didn't have a right to stop Rui from getting s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o, but she didn't want him to go out, so she looked at Rui and said, "Wait a moment, let me ask whether Yuigama-san has a request or not." She then looked at Yui and asked, "So do you need something Yuigahama-san?"

"Um, no, I don't need anything." Yui subconsciously answered as she shook her head.

"....."

"Then, why are you here?" Yukinohita asked with a sigh.

"Can... Can I just visit you, Yukinon? I want to talk with you more..." Yui looked at Yukinos.h.i.+ta with a puppy-like gaze, showing fear of being abandoned.

"..."

Yukinos.h.i.+ta let out a tired sigh. However, Yui proved to be more persistent than she had thought and kept asking her whether it was okay to eat lunch and stay with her there.

Hikigaya suddenly felt it was better for him to silently leave since he could see how two girls were about to bond their friends.h.i.+p, and s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o was about to meet another girl, which made him sigh.

"Yukino-senpai, I'll go out a bit," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o suddenly said and stood up from his heat.

Yukinos.h.i.+ta opened her mouth but then closed it again. "...Go."

"I'll go back." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o could see Yukinos.h.i.+ta was unhappy.

Even if Yukinos.h.i.+ta tried to maintain her calm expression, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o could smell an unhappy smell from her.

However, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o decided to pretend not to see it since it was troublesome to manage it, and there was something he needed to talk about with Rui.

"I'll talk with him for a bit, and I'll return to him later. You don't need to worry," Rui said calmly.

"...Just take him if you want." Yukinos.h.i.+ta knew it was wrong, and she didn't have a right to get angry, but why did she become irritated?

Yukinos.h.i.+ta didn't do anything and just watched the two walk away.

However, Hikigaya and Yui could see how bad Yukinos.h.i.+ta's mood was.

"Oh, ah, right! I have baked cookies! Do you want some Yukinon?" Yui suddenly asked with a smile.

"....Okay, is a tea alright?" Yukinos.h.i.+ta asked.

"Yes!"

While the girls seemed to be talking to each other, Hikigaya wondered whether he should walk away now.

---

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Rui walked together to the ice cream vending machine that was well-hidden near the stairs of the special building.

The ice cream vending machine was on the building where the service club was located.

As for why they chose this place, one was because it was quite close to the service club, and it was quite well-hidden, so they didn't need to worry if someone would interrupt or eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Do you want ice cream? I'll treat you," Rui said.

"No, it's alright. I am not in the mood for it."

"Then how about a drink?"

"Okay."

The two chose tea and coffee before they sat on the bench together.

"Thanks," Rui suddenly said.

"For?"

"For taking care of me before." Rui looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o with a gentle smile and said, "I am glad that you were there back then." If he wasn't there, she wasn't sure what was going to happen to her.

"Well, I am also glad that you're alright now," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said as he sipped the cold, bitter coffee in his hand.

Rui stared at his profile for a moment before she kissed his lips.

"...." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o.

"Your lips have the taste of a coffee," Rui said after they parted their lips.

"...What's wrong so suddenly? I am happy, though." While s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o was speechless, he would be lying if he didn't enjoy it.

"Do you want more?"

"Okay."

They continued to kiss each other in this place.

However, even if they kissed each other, they tried to kill their noise. Still, the sound of the tongue and saliva from their deep kiss was heard, especially when this place was so quiet.

When they parted their lips, Rui blushed and looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o shyly.

Rui wasn't sure, but after s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o had taken care of her before, she felt her heart was beating so fast when she was with him. She didn't talk about this matter to anyone, but one thing is for sure, she felt happy even if she did this secretly.

"...Can we go to the hotel before we go back?" Rui asked.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at Rui for a moment and asked, "You're strangely proactive today."

"What? You don't like it?" Rui pouted and felt unhappy by his question.

"No, if you're alright with it, I don't really mind." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o wanted to say it was better for Rui to text him instead of coming to the service club, but he didn't say it since he knew it would make her unhappy.

"Right, you haven't answered Momo's confession, right?" Rui suddenly said.

"...You know that?"

"She told me." Rui looked at s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and said, "She told me I was her friend, so she didn't want to lie to me."

"What do you think?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked curiously.

Rui only shrugged her shoulders and said, "You're a sc.u.mbag anyway. There's nothing wrong with adding one more girl."

"....." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o

"However, can you handle all of them?" Rui rudely looked at his nether region.

"You don't need to worry about that." If there is one thing s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o was confident about, without a doubt, it was his little s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o.

"Hmm... by the way, do you want to go out with me?" Rui asked.

"Go out?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o looked at Rui strangely, wondering whether this girl had confessed to him.

"No, I mean, to play somewhere. I want to thank you after you have taken care of me," Rui said hurriedly with a red face.

"I see..." s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o sighed and showed disappointment.

Rui amused and asked, "What? Do you want us to go out together?"

"...."

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Rui looked at each other for a moment, and they approached each other again, kissing as they hugged each other tightly before they parted their lips again.

"So?"

However, Rui didn't seem to forget her previous question and asked again.

"Say, if we really date each other, will something change between us?" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o asked.

"....."

Rui was in silence and suddenly thought of this problem.

'Will our relations.h.i.+p change?'

Rui was happy with their current relations.h.i.+p, but what if their relations.h.i.+p turned worse if they went out together?

"...I am not sure." Rui shook her head and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think it is obvious our relations.h.i.+p will change. As for whether it is good or not, I am not sure since no one can predict the future, but I believe our relations.h.i.+p will be, no, it'll be even better when we date each other," s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o said as he held Rui's hand.

"s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o..." Rui knew the name of the feeling inside her heart, and she didn't have a doubt.

However...

"However, are you ready for it? You still have time now. Right now, you only see a good part of me, and you're blind to my bad part, or you pretend not to see it. I am a sc.u.mbag that has dated many girls, and while my heart is longing for you, I think it is better for us to take our time to understand each other's feelings before we confirm our relations.h.i.+p since I don't want you to think of our relations.h.i.+p as something that you regret in your life."

Similar to Rui, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o wanted to hug her, made her become his, but everything was his ego.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o knew a feeling was something that couldn't be understood by logic, and his words were just some sophistry where he didn't want to take responsibility for this girl and wanted to play with her for a while.

However, Rui kissed his lips again.

But unlike their previous kiss, this kiss was a chaste kiss, and it was only a moment, but it had an impact bigger than all of their last kiss.

Her feelings broke all of his sophistry since she knew what kind of feelings she had for him now.

"No, I won't regret it, so here now, I'll tell you that I love you, s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o. I want you to make me yours, can you?" Rui said while looking straight into his eyes.

Rui had said all of that, so why should he hesitate?

"Can."

Rui smiled and hugged him tightly and happily.

s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o hugged Rui back and would have never expected the random girl he met in Tokyo would become his girlfriend now.

"Rui."

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

"I love you too." Rui hugged him tighter with a smile, but...

"So I'll tell you that when we did it at your house, someone had eavesdropped on us."

"......"

"...Are you serious?"

"Super serious, especially when your cry was quite lo---" s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o couldn't finish his words since Rui twisted his waist. "Ouch! Ouch! It hurts! It hurts, Rui!"

Still, after twisting his waist and hearing his plea, Rui felt better, but at the same time, she wondered what they should do now.
