I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Chapter 684: Nezu Shrine



Chapter 684: Nezu Shrine

“Yui, are you going?”

“Yes, mom.”

“Okay, do your best.”

“Yes~!”

Looking at her daughter, who walked out of the house with a happy smile, Hana sighed and felt conflicted, wondering whether it was good to support their relationship. Suddenly, she remembered when he held her hand tightly as he stared into her eyes deeply. Her breathing was rather heavy, and she squeezed her legs tightly.

She looked down for a while and knew she was alone in the house. However, she felt a bit conflicted, but in the end, she went into her room.

She was a married woman, and she was no longer a virgin.

Naturally, she also had a need in that area.

Her body hadn’t been used by her husband for so many years. She might forget about how it felt being held by a woman, so at this moment, she was afraid. She was afraid if he pushed her, she wouldn’t be able to fight and just enjoyed being dominated by “him.”

“Is it good?” Shishio asked.

“Give me the recipe later,” Yukinoshita answered without hesitation as she sipped the warm Chinese soy milk soup. She then reached out to youtiao (Chinese fried dough) and bit it lightly before she mixed it into the soup. While the youtiao was rather cold, it was still chewy, soft, and delicious.

Before he went out, he brought some food he had made before for Yukinoshita.

Why did he do this?

It was because this was Yukinoshita’s hobby.

Her hobby wasn’t reading or petting a cute cat, but it was eating.

The two had always gone out to have dinner together in various places, trying various foods in Tokyo. Sometimes his girlfriends joined, or his older sister, Haruno, also joined, but either way, the two often went out together, at least once a week.

Still, she had to say that compared to all the restaurants they had gone out to try, his food was definitely the best.

“I will give you the recipe later.” He sipped a cold barley tea as he looked at the scenery in their surroundings.

They were in the parking area of the Nezu shrine. While it wasn’t an official parking area, the visitors who visited this shrine would mostly park their cars in this place.

Still, he had to say, even if this was a weekend; this place was fairly deserted.

This was good, so he didn’t have to complain.

Still, he realized that the majority of people in this country weren’t that religious, and they only visited the shrine when they needed something or a certain event.

“You know, if you become a chef, I am sure that you can become a restaurant magnate,” Yukinoshita said without a doubt in her voice.

“I will probably do that.”

“Huh? Really?” Yukinoshita was dumbfounded since she could see his expression was serious.

“I was joking.”

“….” Yukinoshita.

“I have been busy with my internet business, but if I have time, I will make restaurants. It’s a good business to wash dirty money.”

“…” Yukinoshita stared at Shishio speechlessly. “Leaving your purpose to wash dirty money aside, what kind of foods are you going to make?”

“Are you asking me that now?”

“I mean, why not, right? We still need to wait for Yui-san and Hikigaya-kun, so tell me,” Yukinoshita said with a smile. “Or you don’t have an idea?”

“Don’t provoke me, but if you want to provoke someone, you should do it better since I am not even angry. Instead, I think that you’re cuter when you try to provoke me.”

“Thank you for your praise. I know that I am cute.”

“…how uncute.” He kissed Yukinoshita’s cheek since this girl was too cheeky.

Yukinohita only smiled and continued to ask, “So?”

“Well, while making a three-star restaurant might be good, I might make a chain restaurant since it makes a lot more money and I can hire a lot of people, which means it will give me a lot of voices in politics.”

“…that’s true.” Yukinoshita was dumbfounded since she didn’t expect his purpose in creating a restaurant to be so deep, but she didn’t hate it since if they wanted to survive in society, even if they were covered in mud, they needed to dive without hesitation.

“Well, I will make something simple such as takoyaki, curry, tempura, udon, steak, burger, ramen, bakery, teppanyaki, and probably a coffee.”

“That’s a lot.”

“Right?”

“But why all of those foods?”

“Because it is simple, and it will be accepted by the people in the world.” He looked in the distance and said, “We are still in 2005, but in the future, I believe that all the people in this world will eat our food every day.”

“…you’re so ambitious.”

“But it’s nothing compared to my dream to marry all of you.”

Yukinoshita was speechless, but she also smiled and said, “Well, that’s true. Compared to allowing polygamy in this country, your dream of becoming a restaurant magnate is nothing.”

He only smiled and didn’t say anything.

“By the way, why not sushi or dessert?”

“Dessert aside, it is troublesome for sushi since not everyone likes to eat raw fish after all. It is also troublesome if someone suddenly gets sick and blames the restaurant.”

“I can’t deny that.”

Even if sushi was a famous dish in this country, not everyone loved to eat raw fish. More importantly, it was troublesome to manage raw fish since the trouble was endless if one was sick because of the food.

“But no matter what, I will support you,” Yukinoshita said firmly.

“Thanks.” He gently hugged the back of her head and kissed her forehead.

Yukinoshita blushed and hugged him back.

The parking park was quiet, and it was almost deserted. While they were sitting in the trunk of his car, they didn’t feel afraid that someone would notice what they were doing.

“By the way, Rita-san, didn’t you come?”

“No, I leave her in Sakurasou.”

“Why?”

“Because if I bring her, she will interrupt us.”

Yukinoshita blushed and knew what this guy was thinking, but she pretended she didn’t see anything. After all, currently, she wasn’t ready.

“Well, you don’t need to force yourself, though.”

He rubbed Yukinoshita’s hair and thought that the mood was weird. If he kept insisting, he would appear desperate, and she was also in his hands, so there was no need to be in a hurry.”

“Thanks.”

She snuggled in his arms and rubbed her face on his chest like a docile cat.

“Um, am I bothering you?”

“….”

While Shishio didn’t say anything, Yukinoshita was startled and almost jumped out when she noticed Yui was staring at them awkwardly.

“Ah, um, Yui-san, this is… Ah, yes, we’re just practicing for the movie!”

“…….”

Shishio and Yui looked at each other and thought Yukinoshita wasn’t a good liar.

Soon, Hikigaya also arrived, and the four of them gathered together near his car, talking about what they planned for today’s shooting.

“The scene that we’re going to shoot here is a scene of Shishio’s past when he is in Kyoto.”

“Kyoto? Then why are we here?” Yui asked curiously.

“……..” Shishio and Hikigaya.

Yukinoshita sighed and said, “We don’t have a budget to go on a trip to Kyoto. Meanwhile, the Nezu shrine is in Tokyo, which is close to where we live. The scenery here is quite similar to the scenery in Kyoto.” While Yui was a bit stupid, she explained to her calmly. “Understand?”

“Of-Of course! I-I am not stupid!”

While Yui felt disappointed since she couldn’t go to Kyoto, this wasn’t bad.

“That’s good. Should we start shooting now?”

“OH!” 3x

The four of them quickly helped each other, so they could quickly shoot the movie without wasting their time.

“But this shrine is quite empty, huh?”

Yui felt strange since even if this shrine was massive, the people in the area were rather small.

“Yui-san, don’t you know about the Nezu shrine?” Yukinoshita asked.

“…sorry.”

“Well, it is normal since Nezu shrine is located in a different ward from her house.” Shishio decided to help Yui.

“But this shrine is famous. I even know about this shrine,” Hikigaya said.

“…….” Yui was at a loss since even Hikigaya, who was a loner, antisocial, and warped, knew about this shrine, which made her feel conflicted.

“Hey, did someone think something rude of me?” Hikigaya felt that he was insulted at that moment.

“As for why this shrine is empty, it is normal since we’re not at the event,” Shishio said.

“This shrine is also famous for the “Azalea Festival.” If you visit it at the end of April and May, you will see how crowded this place is,” Yukinoshita added.

“Eh? Really? Then should we go in May together? I want to see the Azalea Festival!” Yui beamed happily.

“That might be a good idea.” Shishio also nodded since he hadn’t seen the “Azalea Festival” before.”

“Hello? Are you ignoring me?” Hikigaya sighed and thought that they were all bastards.

In this place, they mostly shot a scene of Shishio’s past in Kyoto, so Yukinoshita, Yui, and Hikigaya followed him, shooting his figure, which seemingly looked around as he visited the shrine.

Shishio also entered his character, walking on the various spots of this shrine from the torii (Japanese gate for shrine) path, roumon (tower gate), honden (worship hall), and various others, including how to pray in the shrine.

He threw a five yen coin on the offering box and bowed deeply twice before he clapped his hands twice and prayed.

All of them were perfectly shot.

“Is there something special about this shrine?”

As they weren’t professional, they also talked about many things about this shrine.

“It was said that this shrine was built by the legendary prince, Yamato Takeru,” Yukinoshita said.

“Who?” Yui was confused.

“…..” 3x

“It’s the legendary prince who slew the Yamato no Orochi,” Hikigaya said with a sigh. “Don’t tell me that you don’t know that either?”

“Of-Of course, I know! It’s the legendary evil serpent with eight heads, right?”

They sighed in relief since it seemed this girl’s knowledge was quite good.

“But was Yamato no Orochi the only thing that made Yamato Takeru famous?” Yui asked curiously. While she didn’t have an interest in this Yamato Takeru before, it made him curious about this figure after she saw how beautiful this shrine was. It was said this was the most beautiful shrine in Tokyo, and she could understand it somehow.

“Well, Yamato Takeru did many things in his life.” Yukinoshita thought for a moment and said, “From killing his older brother, fighting his enemies, and many others.”

“Folklore is always like that. The hero is always pictured defeating an evil. However, the hero isn’t exactly good, either. They’re pictured as good because they are the winner. I mean, do you think someone who can kill his older brother, so he can steal the throne is a good person?” Hikigaya somehow talked a lot.

“That’s how history is, right?” Yukinoshita said as she enjoyed the scenery of this shrine in a strange mood.

The winner has always been the one who wrote the history.

As for the loser?

Who cares?

“Eh…” Yui was surprised and asked, “Besides killing his older brother and many enemies, did this legendary prince do something extraordinary again?”

“It seems he is also married to his aunt,” Shishio said.

“…….” 3x

The three looked at him speechlessly, wondering whether this was the reason why Shishio had prayed so devotedly before.
