I Refuse To Become Scumbag In Tokyo

Chapter 717: Moms

"Yes, your costume is good."

Yukinoshita's mother, Yukinoshita Takako, also took her phone and took a picture of Shishio.

However, Haruno was ruder since she brought an SLR camera and took a picture of him without hesitation.

The three women took a picture of him without caring about the others.

"....."

Shishio's lips twitched, but he said, "Please don't do anything excessive. Your actions will also bother the other customers." If they wanted to take a picture of him, he hoped they could do it in a different place since if they did it in this place, they would make another customer want to take a picture of him too, which was annoying.

"Oh, right." 3x

The three of them quickly stopped and started to observe him closely since they had to say when he dressed in the student uniform of the Taisho Era, it gave him a different kind of charm.

Usually, he was unrestrained.

He was like a king, an untamed beast, or even the sun.

Whenever he walked, he would become the center of attention. He was so bright, which was why it made people think he was the sun.

However, when he dressed in this uniform, his charm was restrained. It was like he was blending with nature. It was like his existence was in harmony with everything. When they saw him, they felt like they were having a holiday at a luxurious resort in the Alps as they stood on the prairie, watching the beautiful and clear river, and watched this scenery together.

Somehow, Takako thought that Yukinoshita was blessed.

"Let me guide you to your table first."

If they kept standing there, he was afraid that it would bother other customers, and more importantly, he didn't want to see his mother scold him for being oblivious.

Yet one thing was for sure, having a parent visit the cultural festival was a bit troublesome somehow.

"Who is that?"

"Nana?"

When Shishio greeted this group of people differently, they couldn't help but ask. Of course, they knew that Shishio was a scumbag, but was he also interested in the mature woman?

If so, everyone thought they shouldn't let their parents visit their cafe. At least on time when Shishio was around, they had to stop their mother to meet him!

While the guys cowered in fear, Nana said with a complicated gaze, "It's Shishio's mother."

"Mother!"

It might be a subconscious movement, but all the girls seemed to tidy up their hair and clothes and looked at the mirror before asking each other for their opinions, whether their uniform was messy or if there was something wrong with their hairs, and many others.

"...Nana, do you think I look okay?"

"My makeup isn't messed up, right?"

"Why did you ask me that?" Nana looked at Maiko and Mea in a dumbfounded manner. Shouldn't the two of them be interested in the younger boy? Did they have an interest in Shishio? However, even if they did, she didn't feel surprised, considering how close their relationship was. Still, she probably wouldn't make another close female friend since she was afraid they might fall for her boyfriend.

Yet this wasn't the time for that since she wondered how to face it and what kind of reaction Shishio's mother would have when she saw her.

Nanami also wasn't much better since she was also worried.

If they were ignored by Shishio's mother, what would they do?

Also, wasn't the relationship between Shishio's family and Yukinoshita's family too good?

However, unlike before, they didn't think he would leave them, and they had this confidence unless they did something wrong since sometimes he was also merciless.

Shishio glanced in their direction but didn't say anything. Instead, he led his mother, Takako, and Haruno to their table.

"By the way, isn't father coming?"

"Your father won't come since he is busy with his job."

"I see."

"What? Are you disappointed?"

"Not really. I don't feel surprised somehow."

If it was in the past, his father would usually come since he was in Kyoto, but now, he was in Tokyo, which made it hard for his father to visit, considering his position.

"It's good that you understand." Shioriko smiled and sat down before she asked, "By the way, what did you sell?"

"Crepe."

"Crepe, huh?"

They didn't immediately look at the menu. Instead, they looked at the people around, watching them eat something from their plates.

Is that a crepe?

They had to say the crepe seemed to be quite delicious. They were thinking of bringing him and accompanying them to walk around, but they thought they should try his food. They looked at the menu for a while and saw various menus, from sweet to savory crepes.

"If you order now, I will make a special one for you."

"Are you going to be the one who cooks it?" Haruno asked curiously with a smile.

Takako also looked at Shishio, wondering about the same question.

"Can you even cook?" Shioriko asked with a frown since she didn't remember that Shishio could cook.

"You underestimate me, mother. Staying in Tokyo has made me a better man, and naturally, I gained one or two skills. Also, just having me by your side will make the food taste better."

"......" 3x

They had to say this guy was a bit narcissistic, but they couldn't deny him since having good scenery made the food taste better.

Takako chuckled and said, "Then I will order one mushroom and cheese galette."

"I will get spinach with bacon."

"Then, I will get..." Shioriko thought for a moment and said, "Creme Brulee."

"What about the drink?"

"A water."

"Me too."

"Then, I will get a berry soda!"

"Okay, wait a moment. I will prepare your order right away."

"Thank you," Takako also nodded with a smile.

"No problem. I am happy to serve you." He smiled at Takako and then left to prepare their order.

"........" Shioriko and Haruno.

The two of them looked at Takako for a moment before they shook their heads since Shishio wouldn't do something like that, right?

However, Shioriko was a bit worried, so she called Nana and Nanami. "Nana-san, Nanami-san." She waved her hand in their direction with a gentle smile.

The two were surprised, but they smiled and approached Shioriko happily since it seemed she had accepted them.

Yet, Takako and Haruno watched this scene in silence, watching them talking to each other before they looked at Shishio, who was cooking. While the conversation between Shioriko and the two girls was quite discreet, the two could guess more or less the relationship between the girls and Shishio.

However, this was something normal, yet whether they could accept it or not was a different matter.

Haruno smiled, yet Takako thought she might need to teach Yukinoshita, so Shishio would be crazy about her.

As they were in their own thoughts, a delicious aroma spread in every direction.

The three of them quickly turned and saw Shishio bringing their order. They were in a daze, watching before they saw him placing their orders on the table.

"Here's your order. Please enjoy."

Unlike the others, who received dishes, which were cooked by his classmates.

For this one, he specially made the dishes for them. "I specially made this for all of you." The others were jealous, yet, it was hard for them to say anything since whether it was Shioriko, Takako, or Haruno had this VIP-like aura around them. More importantly, they also heard that one of them was Shishio's mother.

*Gulp!* 3x

Still, the three ignored everyone and looked at the food on their table.

"Instead of a crepe, it's like a galette, huh?" Shioriko was unable to look away from the crepes which were ordered by Takako and Haruno. Instead of a crepe, she felt that they were like galettes. To be honest, it had been a while since she had eaten a galette. The last time she remembered it was when she visited Paris before.

"No, yours seems to be more special, Shioriko." Takako looked at the crepe on Shioriko with longing. While their crepe was like a galette, Shioriko's crepe was like an authentic crepe, but it was more special since it was similar to a Creme Brule, especially the part of crystalized burnt sugar on the top.

They thought his food would be so-so, yet why it seemed so amazing?

Unfortunately, they had eaten before, which made their stomachs a bit full.

However, the voice of someone eating suddenly interrupted them.

They turned and saw Haruno had already eaten her galette.

"Hmm?" Haruno ignored their gaze and enjoyed the food happily.

Takako wanted to scold her daughter, but Shishio said, "Please enjoy while it is still hot."

"...okay." Takako was helpless, but she nodded. She took her cutlery and ate the galette elegantly before her eyes brightened since it was so good.

Shishio nodded and thought that whether it was a daughter or the mother, they were foodies.

On the other hand, Shioriko was more straightforward. She broke the crystalized sugar part, causing a cracking sound, which attracted Takako and Haruno.

While Shioriko enjoyed her food, she also looked at the foods of Takako and Haruno.

"It might be a bit too much to order more. How about we share with each other?"

"I don't mind."

"That's a great idea!"

For some reason, they seemed to become younger and giggled happily as they ate.

"Thank you for waiting. Here is your berry soda."

The beautiful berries were placed on the cold gaze as they watched him pouring a soda before stirring it and serving it to Yukino.

"Thanks." Haruno smiled happily.

Takako and Shioriko looked at their mineral water before they looked at Haruno, who enjoyed her drink happily. They thought for a moment and felt a drink should be okay, right?

"Shishio, can I get a Dalgona coffee?"

"I will get lavender tea."

"Okay, wait for a moment."

The two of them thought that their son's (son-in-law) cafe would probably become the most popular one at this cultural festival.

---

"Are you free after this? Can you accompany us?"

After they ate, they didn't hesitate to ask him to accompany them.

"Sure. Wait a moment. I will change my clothes."

"No." 3x

"???"

"Just stay like this. Just like this," Takako said in a voice that should be impossible coming from a mother-in-law.

"..." Haruno.

"You need to return to your job, right? Isn't it bothersome to change your clothes? It is also a good advertisement when you walk around with this costume," Shiroiko added.

"...."

Shishio's lips twitched, and he thought they just wanted him to be in these clothes a little longer, but he didn't mind. He said goodbye to the rest before he accompanied them to walk around the school.

"So, is there a place that you want to visit?"

"We want to see your movie. I have heard that you made it with Yukino, right?" Takako asked.

"Yes, Yukino-senpai is the director, and I am the scriptwriter."

"To be honest, it is my first time to know that she has an interest in movies, so I am a little interested in what kind of movie the two of you create."

"You're the protagonist, right? Who is the heroine? Is it Yukino?" Haruno asked.

"...no, it's a different girl."

"...." 3x

"How about we meet Yukino-senpai first?" Shishio felt that it wouldn't be good if he stayed alone with them.

Takako wanted to smack Shishio's head at that moment.

Haruno wanted to kick him.

As for Takako, she only smiled. As for what she was thinking, no one knew, and Shishio didn't want to know since this woman was scary!

Yet, he had to say she was really attractive.
