Chapter 216 - Irresistible Force Paradox
Chapter 216 - Irresistible Force Paradox
As he returned to his room, Shishio took some new clothes and decided to take a bath first. He felt that with everything that just happened, there was no way that he could sleep immediately. He also wanted to accept his reward and check his body transformation since his reward was something that he was quite anticipated. More importantly, he just didn't want to think too much at this moment since if he thought. He might be troubled by various emotions again.
Shishio then, without hesitation, took a bath, having a warm shower, but he couldn't help but think about what Chihiro did before. He wasn't blind, and he also understood her feelings, but it was quite impossible between them. After all, they were a nephew and an aunt, which was why what had happened before was the best thing.
Feeling the warm water on his face, Shishio let out a long sigh and decided to accept his reward first.
<Will you accept your reward?"
<Yes/No>
Shishio accepted his rewards without hesitation and could feel that his body had become stronger. He could feel that his body was full of energy, power, stamina, and various things, which made her realize how amazing his body was now. Before, he was 1.5 times stronger than a normal human, but now, he was 3 times stronger than a normal human. Not only his strength but various functions of his body were also enhanced, which made him glad that he had come to Rui's home. He looked at the change in his body and didn't see that much of change, but it was all good.
'But...'
Shishio shook his head and didn't think too much. He felt that his body had become stronger, but the problems on his mind hadn't been lessened, or rather if he kept thinking, it might keep increasing like a snowball effect.
It might start with a small significance problem, but it built upon itself, becoming larger (graver, more serious) and potentially dangerous or disastrous.
Shishio wanted to solve everything one by one, but his problems became bigger and bigger, making him so helpless. He shook his head and decided to use the same strategy. When everything happened, then it happened, there was nothing that he could do, and in the end, he could only face the problem directly, when it appeared in front of him.
Shishio sometimes thought it would be great to forget his past, and he also had thought to use his "Hypnosis Mastery" to make him forget his past. Still, when he thought about his "Enhanced Mastery," he felt that it was useless or, rather, it was useless since he had tried it.
His "Hypnosis Mastery" might be powerful, but his "Enhanced Memory" made it impossible for him to forget everything on his mind. When he tried to forget his past, it caused an irresistible force paradox because of his "Enhanced Memory."
In other words, Shishio knew that he couldn't run away from this problem, and he needed to face it directly. He rubbed his face and decided to finish his story first.
---
Shishio wrote his story in his room, and because he had become 3 times stronger, his writing speed also became faster. Still, even so, it didn't cause an uncomfortable feeling on his body, or rather, he felt better than ever.
Shishio kept writing, but he stopped when he was about to write the ending.
The original ending of the 5 Centimeters per Second was sad. The male character decided to wait on the railroad crossings, but the heroine decided to move on, which caused the male character to move on.
Somehow this ending, Shishio felt hesitant to write it. It wasn't that this ending wasn't good, and for such a novel, he needed to use a tragic ending so the readers would remember it, and the original ending was the best. However, he had involved himself too much in the story, and he felt that his condition was quite similar to the male character in the story.
In the story, the male character also had a girlfriend during his adult time, but in the end, he broke up with his girlfriend because he was unable to forget the heroine.
Shishio didn't want something similar to happen to him. He didn't want to break up with both Nana and Saki, but on the other hand, he also didn't want to forget his past either since every time he spent with her was so precious and wonderful. It wasn't something that he could forget with just one month, but he also didn't want to be trapped in this spiral where he could not move on.
Shishio pinched the bridge of his nose and decided to write the script for Misaki's anime first. He decided to let Nanami voice the heroine in Misaki's anime, and he also thought to let her live in Sakurasou when Sorata had left. Sorata had caused him a lot of trouble, and as someone who had caused him trouble, he would screw him back. It was his motto: if someone screws him, he will screw them back. Eye for an eye.
Shishio then wrote the script for Misaki's script while thinking about what he should do next. He had gotten Sony so he thought to develop the smartphone immediately, making his company the first company that developed the smartphone. Becoming the first was something that he had to do, and he was also thinking of causing the disturbance and hacking various companies that might become his competitors in the smartphone industry.
Shishio knew that there was no white or black in the business, it was only strong eating the weak, it was the law of the jungle, so no one could blame him for being ruthless. Anyway, he didn't kill anyone, and as long as he could succeed, then it was all good.
However, Shishio didn't really want to expose his identity as the owner of the Burning Holding Investment since he was still in high school, and it wouldn't be too late to do it when he had graduated. However, he still wanted to build his own business, considering Saki had promised to wear a secretary uniform or maid uniform when he had made his own business.
Shishio thought for a while and suddenly thought of a good business idea, but he needed to call Hodgins to help him to prepare with a lot of things. In his room, he wrote his story, script, and plans while calling Hodgins to prepare what he needed and told him his plan for Sony. He did all of that together, but he wasn't overwhelmed. He also texted all the girls who texted him, including Futaba who would come to Sakurasou tomorrow, which somehow made him realize that he was more amazing than he had thought.
Shishio was texting his girls, but then he received a strange text from Nana.
Nana: "Shishio, can you come early to school?"
Shishio: "What time?"
Nana: "Seven. You need to come to the school before seven in the morning."
Shishio: "Isn't that a bit too early?"
Nana: "You can't?"
Shishio: "Well, I'll try, but what's wrong?"
Nana: "Hehe, it is a secret, but I'm sure that you'll be happy if you come early in the morning."
"....."
Shishio was lost for words for a moment before he directly agreed. He wasn't sure what this girl was planning, but somehow, he knew that it must be something good. He then continued with his job, but then someone knocked on the door of his room. He knew very well who had knocked on his door, and opened it directly.
"Shishio." Calling his name softly, Shiina stood right in front of his door.
"What's wrong, Mashiro?" Shishio asked.
"Can we sleep together?" Shiina asked.
"...."
Shishio thought for a moment and said, "I've got to do something. You can sleep on the bed first."
Shiina nodded and walked inside without hesitation before she laid on his bed.
Shishio closed his door and locked it directly since he didn't want someone to enter so suddenly. He looked at Shiina and asked, "What about your manga? You're not drawing it?"
"I don't have inspiration now," Shiina said softly while hugging Shishio's bolster tightly, smelling his smell to calm her down.
"You don't have any inspiration?" Shishio was surprised and moved closer to Shiina. "What's wrong?"
"I'm thinking of drawing after we have our date on Saturday," Shiina said.
"I see..." Shishio nodded, but then, he said, "But if you say that, it'll give me some pressure to give you the best date so it can give you inspiration."
Shiina shook her head and said, "I think as long as I stay with you, it'll be a wonderful date no matter what."
"...."
Shishio took a deep breath and felt slightly embarrassed somehow.
Shiina looked at Shishio and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Well..." Shishio thought for a bit and it was better to keep his plan to make a business a secret first. "I'm writing a script for Misaki's anime."
"Writing a script for Misaki?" Shiina frowned and thought about something, but in the end, she held it and didn't say anything.
"What's wrong?" Shishio asked since Shiina showed a strange expression.
"...Nothing." Shiina still had a frown on her face, but she still shook her head while saying that it was alright.
Shishio then gently caressed Shiina's hair and said, "What's wrong? If you have something to tell me, then tell me."
Shiina looked at Shishio for a moment, then nodded. "Shishio, can you let me use your story for my manga?"
"...."
Shishio looked at Shiina and asked, "You want me to write a story for you?"
Shiina shook her head gently and said, "I want to use the 5 Centimeters per Second."
"..."
Looking at Shiina, Shishio couldn't describe his emotions at that moment. However, a lot of emotions were brewing in his heart. He knew that Shiina didn't mean anything bad, and only asked whether she could use his story or not, and she didn't understand the meaning of this story for him.
Shishio had poured his mind and soul into this story and used this story as a meant for him to move on, so he had never thought to ask someone to help him or thought about this possibility before.
"Shishio?"
Shiina's voice awoke Shishio.
"Are you alright?" Shiina asked in worried.
Shishio shook his head and said, "I'm alright. But for the story, let me think about it. You should sleep first, I'll do something first." He then stood up, turned off the light, and turned on the table lamp before he started to write again, but his mind kept recalling what Shiina said.
Shishio knew that he was running away now, but he was forced to the edge and couldn't hide anymore. He knew he needed to do something, but he knew that it was just that he didn't want to since he felt that he would lose a lot of things, and he didn't want to lose it.
"Shishio..." Shiina called his name again and wanted to hug him, but...
"Sorry, Mashiro. Let me think for a moment. I can't give you an answer now, and let me do this myself, don't pamper me anymore." Shishio didn't want to be spoiled by Shiina's gentleness. He wanted to do this by himself. He didn't want to get dependent on someone.
"But..."
"Sorry, I don't want you to save me, but stay by my side as I save myself." Shishio looked at Shiina and said, "Can you believe me, Mashiro?"
"....."
Shiina stared at Shishio for a moment, then gently nodded.
Shishio looked at Shiina then said, "You should go sleep first. I still have a lot of things that I need to do."
"Are we going to sleep together?" Shiina asked.
"...."
Shishio looked at his nether region and raised his eyebrow. He shook his head and said, "Sorry, if I sleep with you now, I might not be sure what I'll do with you, so I'll sleep on the futon later." His body had become three times stronger than a normal human, and of course, his urge on that also became stronger.
"Are you going to have sex with me?" Shiina asked.
"....."
Shishio looked at Shiina and asked, "Do you want to have sex with me?"
"Um." Shiina nodded.
"..."
Shishio looked at Shiina for a moment and said, "How about we talk about this matter once I have decided whether you can use my story or not."
"Um." Shiina nodded.
"..."
"What are you doing now?" Shishio asked.
"Watch you," Shiina said.
"Is it fun?" Shishio asked.
"Yes." Shiina nodded.
"How about you go to sleep first?" Shishio asked.
"Um." Shiina nodded.
Looking at Shiina, who started to sleep on his bed so soundly, Shishio somehow let out a long sigh and felt that his worry was stupid. He rubbed his face again and knew that he needed to solve his problem, even if he had forced himself.
Facing the screen on his computer again, Shishio started to write again.
Shiina, who was on his bed, opened her eyes slightly, watching his lonely back that worked by himself, and wanted to help him, but when she recalled his words. She held herself and decided to believe in him.
'Shishio...'
Shiina closed her eyes, covering her face with a blanket, hoping he could solve his problem as soon as possible.
"Mashiro."
"Hmm?" Shiina quickly responded.
"Thank you for staying with me," Shishio said.
Shiina looked at Shishio for a moment and smiled. "Yes."
Shishio then continued to do his job, even though he knew that it was dumb, and there was a shortcut right in front of him, but he was still a man, and he didn't want to rely on anyone to solve his problem since he knew that he would solve it by himself.
NOTE:
His inner drama might cause many people to feel that he's just like a fucking big baby and a lot of you dissatisfied.
"Can you please just fuck the girls already?"
I'm sure that many people will think like that since it is too stupid not to get his hands onto various girls that can trigger his quest since he can get a very rich reward.
However, as I have decided to give this kind of plot, I need to follow it through and end it with the best ending for this arc.
I know that some of you are impatient, but I think that this is necessary so Shishio can treasure the girls' feelings about who he has fucked with.
If he's just fucking any girl so he can get a reward, then he's simply trash, right?
Or worse case, he might as well **** (force himself against a girl) them since they can't do anything against him, considering his power and all, right?
Still, if the girls aren't a virgin, then it might be possible for him to have a one-stand night, but if the girls are a virgin, if I don't do this plot, Shishio will throw away the girls without hesitation after he gets the rewards.
Shishio treasures his lover more than anyone. This is also the reason why his harem won't be neglected and the reason why he can't forget his ex-fiancee in his previous life so easily.
It is also his shackle so he won't become a trash character who will do anything so he will get his rewards.
So please enjoy.
