章 272: Shishio's days are far from peaceful

"Compared to the love between a flying bird and a swimming fish, the geographical distance is a trivial matter, right?" Shishio said with a smile.

"..."

It might be because it had been a while since they saw him, smiling, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looking at him in a daze.

After receiving an "Enhanced Smile," Shishio tried not to smile since he knew that his smile was dangerous and would be troublesome if he received more love letters.

Usa was in a daze after he heard this poem, then he looked at Ritsu and couldn't help but recall one of the stanzas of Shishio's poem.

'The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between opposite sides of the world. You don't know that I love you when I stand in front of you.'

Usa was in love with Ritsu, but he knew that Ritsu didn't know about his feelings. He sighed and wondered what he should do to convey his feelings without being rejected. He didn't want to be rejected since if he was rejected, it would be awkward to enter the clubroom again, but if he didn't do anything, he felt that their distance might become further and further. 'Ugh... what should I do?'

"Good poem..." Kiriya's eyes brightened, and he wanted to hug Shishio at this moment, but he held back. Still, he recited this poem again on his mind, feeling enlightenment about the meaning of love.

As for the girls, it was better not to talk about them since their gazes on Shishio had changed, and if possible, they just wanted to hug him right away, especially Shiina, Nana, Saki, and Miu.

As for Maiko, Mea, and Ritsu, they also wanted to try the same thing, but they knew they couldn't do anything since the person they had...

"Alright, let's end this chat. How about we study since the Monthly Exam is about to start soon," Shishio said.

Hearing Shishio's words, they nodded and agreed since the exam was nearby and they needed to prepare since they didn't want to have a bad result.

As for going to the karaoke, they didn't have time now and thought that it was better to go to the karaoke after the end of the exam later.

So the club activity ended shortly after they studied and they went back.

Shishio looked at Shiina and thought that he might need to give her some preparation since he knew that this girl's way of thought was unique.

"Shishio, let's study again tomorrow. Is that alright?" Maiko asked.

"Yes, studying with you is better than studying by ourselves," Mea also said.

"Shishio..." Usa also looked at Shishio with a hopeful expression.

The three of them realized how good it was being taught by Shishio and felt that their understanding of the lesson increased so fast, which made them so addicted to this feeling.

Studying is fun!

The three of them got that feeling!

Shishio didn't feel surprised since the key to someone who could become smart was to have fun. If someone didn't have fun studying, their progress wouldn't be as fast as someone who had fun. Looking at the expression of the three of them, he ignored Usa and looked at Maiko and Mea, who showed an abandoned puppy-like expression.

"........" Shishio looked at the three of them and said, "Let's talk again tomorrow. I have something to do today." He then looked at Ritsu and Shiina and said, "Ritsu-senpai, Mashiro, sorry that I can't go back with you two." If there wasn't Ritsu, then he would bring Shiina, but Ritsu was there, and it would be quite sad if he invited Shiina and let Ritsu go home alone.

"Um." Shiina nodded and didn't think too much since she knew that Shishio needed to talk with Miu about his match tomorrow.

As for Ritsu, she felt a bit unacceptable since she felt that he was hiding something from her, but she also knew that their relationship was just a friend, a senior, and a junior. As for something further, it was impossible since he was already dating something. She nodded gently and said, "Okay." What could she say? Nothing.

Shishio then looked at Nana, Saki, and Miu, who also gave him a nod. After that secret nod, he then said goodbye to everyone and left.

Looking at the four of them who left, they let out a long sigh.

Kiriya looked at everything that happened and could only shake his head. He was just a teacher, and besides giving his students advice, there was nothing that he could do. Besides, it was already outrageous enough to have three girlfriends. Should he add more so no one would be sad?

'Wait, not three. Should it be four?'

Still, Kiriya had to admit that Shishio had a way with a word. He also really loved the poem that Shishio recited before. 'The Furthest Distance in the World, huh?' Looking at Shishio's back, maybe the gender between the two of them was also the furthest distance in the world. He then shook his head and wondered whether he could use that poem in his book in the future.

'But before that, I need to ask his opinion.'

---

As Shishio, Miu, Nana, and Saki walked next to each other, Miu looked at Shihio and asked, "What do you want to talk about, Shishio-kun?" She knew from Saki that Shishio had something to talk about, which made her quite curious.

"Let's search for a place to talk first." Shishio thought for a moment and asked, "Should we go to Wagnaria?"

Saki didn't think too much since she had been on Wagnaria before.

"Wagnaria?" 2x

Nana and Miu were dumbfounded.

"Have you been there before?" Shishio asked.

"Who didn't know about that place?" Nana rolled her eyes, especially when there were a lot of unique waitresses in the restaurant.

"It's a unique restaurant, but the taste of the food is good," Miu said with a smile. She had visited Wagnaria before with her family, so she didn't feel surprised by the uniqueness of this restaurant.

"If you know that place, then let's go there," Shishio said.

"You'll treat us?" Nana asked mischievously.

"Okay." Shishio nodded.

"........"

"Let's split each other's bills," Nana said without hesitation.

Saki and Miu also nodded at the same time.

"........." Shishio looked at his three girlfriends and thought that they were so cute. "Okay, okay. Let's go now since there's something that I need to talk about with you about, Miu-senpai."

"Eh? Me?" Miu was surprised, but then she nodded. "I, no, we also have something to talk about with you too, Shishio-kun?"

"You want to ask me something?" Shishio looked at Nana, Miu, and Saki, who gave him a nod. He nodded and said, "Okay. Let's have a lot of talks there."

---

As the four of them walked, they arrived at Wagnaria.

Shishio looked outside of his restaurant and felt slightly moved since this place was simply a legend among the neighborhood since each of the employees was so unique, but at the same time, he also didn't need to worry that someone would vandalize or rob this restaurant since a lot of employees inside could do self-defense.

As the automatic door opened, a sound of a bell rang, telling that someone had entered the restaurant and a small and cute waitress came, greeting them with a smile. "Welcome!" She then looked at Shishio in surprise and then smiled. "Oga-kun, it has been a while!"

"It's just a week or so, right? By the way, is there an empty seat for four people?" Shishio asked.

"Yes." Popura nodded with a smile, then looked at Nana, Saki, and Miu with a curious expression. "Your classmates, Shishio-kun?"

Shishio was about to say something, but Nana hugged his arm and said, "We're his girlfriends."

"........."

Popura opened her mouth wide and stared at the four of them with a dumbfounded expression.

Looking at Popura's reaction, Saki knocked Nana's head and said, "Don't joke too much!" Even though she didn't mind sharing Shishio with them, it didn't mean that their relationship could be accepted in public.

Miu blushed, but she didn't say much.

"I'm not joking, though..." Nana murmured while rubbing her head.

"Taneshima-san, can you guide us to our table?" Shishio asked, but he neither agreed nor disagreed with Nana's words.

"Ah, um!" Popura quickly nodded, realizing that she was quite rude, but still, she was looking at the four of them curiously. Something like a romance was too far from her, considering her petite body, and she also had never thought of it before. In her mind, she just wanted to become tall first, and she could think about the rest later.

Shishio followed Popura and glanced at the restaurant and didn't see much of change, but at the same time, he sighed since he knew that there should be more heroines in this restaurant. If possible, he wanted to meet them so he could get more rewards.

Popura guided the four of them to their seats which were located on the edge of the restaurant where there weren't many people there.

This time, Miu sat next to Shishio, and Saki and Nana sat next to each other.

Looking at the place where they sat, Popura looked at them curiously, wondering whether the four of them were dating each other.

"What's wrong? Do you have something to ask, little sister?" Nana asked with a smile.

"......." Shishio and Saki.

"I'm not a little sister! I'm a sophomore in high school!" Popura quickly reacted and denied that she was a little girl.

"What?! You're my senior!" Nana was dumbfounded.

Miu was also dumbfounded.

"That's right! I'm your senior!" Popura somehow showed a smug expression.

Nana was amused and asked, "Can I call you Senpai?"

"Sen - Senpai..." Popura felt an electric current jolting her body, and she was so ecstatic. She nodded several times with an excited expression and patted her chest, which caused her boobs to undulate up and down. "Yes, you can call me, Senpai!"

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

Miu looked at Popura, whose body was like an elementary school, but her chest was so huge!

'On the other hand...'

Miu looked at her chest and somehow felt quite depressed.

Shishio glanced at Miu, but he didn't say anything since it was better to tell her that she was charming even though that place was small.

Big or small, it doesn't matter. What's important is the reaction!

Still, Shishio wouldn't say it out loud, and he sighed and thought that he might be boobs man, considering he often sucked Shiina's... 'Let's think about this later.' If he got excited, then something that shouldn't be awakened would wake him up, and it would be quite troublesome to calm it down.

Then the four of them started to order, one by one, and all of them ordered a parfait since they still wanted to eat dinner at their homes.

"Alright, please wait for a moment." Popura bowed her head with a smile and forgot to ask about their relationship.

Nana looked at Popura's back and said, "This restaurant is so unique."

"Right?" Shishio smiled.

"You somehow like this restaurant so much, Shishio," Saki said.

"Well, I like this restaurant." Shishio felt that it was a bit troublesome to explain that this restaurant was his, and he knew that if he explained too much, they might not be able to proceed with their conversation since many things needed to be talked about right now.

Shishio then looked at the three of them and asked, "You have something to ask me, right? How about you ask that question first?"

Hearing Shishio's question, Miu, Nana, and Saki looked at each other before Nana and Miu looked at Saki simultaneously.

"........."

Saki sighed and called his name softly with a blush. "Shishio."

"Hmm?"

"Did you have sex with Mashiro?"

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