Go home?

In the morning, everyone had already prepared to go back after they cleaned up.

After his matter was done, he searched for cool shade under the oak tree before he sat on the bench. He rubbed his stomach, feeling full from the breakfast, but during his shameful act, someone naturally sat on his side.

"....."

"Why?"

Rumi asked without looking at him.

"It's not because of you. I just want to do it. That's all."

Shishio knew why Rumi asked him why he did all of that last night. "I just wanted to punish the group of naughty children." Still, having this type of conversation in the morning made him sigh. His nerves might have calmed down after Hiratsuka helped him, but even so, his nerve became tight again, feeling distressed about this little girl.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, so you don't need to think too much." Shishio rubbed Rumi's head and said, "If I am also an elementary school student, I might be able to accompany you and stay with you. Unfortunately, I am not."

"...If you're in my place, what will you do?" Rumi asked curiously.

"If I am in your place?" Shishio thought for a moment and said, "As I have said before, you and I are different. In my case, I will have my revenge."

"...Revenge?" Rumi was dumbfounded.

"Yeah, for some people, it's fun to bully someone weaker than us, but they have messed with the wrong person. If they bully me, I will ensure they will live in hell."

"It's good that you are not an elementary school student in my school." Rumi sighed.

If Shishio was at her school, Rumi could tell that those people who would try to bully him might decide to transfer to a different school right away. However, when she thought about it slowly, she felt no one would bully him. Instead, he might become the big boss of the elementary school students, controlling everyone.

"Haha... that's true."

The two laughed.

Still, Rumi felt better somehow since she knew the real reason why Shishio did all of that last night wasn't because of her. After all, she was different from him, and even if she was hurt, she had never thought of hurting others.

The only thing that she wanted to do was not to make her parents worried.

Yet, with her current situation, it was impossible for her parents not to worry about her.

"Rumi-chan."

"Hmm."

"Do you remember the words that I have told you before?"

Rumi thought for a moment and asked, "You mean that there's no person born to be alone in this world."

"That's right." Shishio nodded. "You might doubt me, but you can see the evidence right in front of us. Like Yukino-senpai and Hikigaya-senpai, they are all alone, but they aren't alone anymore, right? And, I assure you that their childhood is several times worse than yours."

"...Really?" Rumi was dumbfounded.

"Yes."

If Shishio made a comparison between Yukinoshita, Hikigaya, and Rumi, without a doubt, Rumi was the lightest.

As for who had the most brutal childhood, without a doubt, it was Yukinoshita.

Still, the feeling of being ignored was tough, and unlike Yukinoshita, Rumi didn't have a strong mentality.

'No, maybe Yukino-senpai is similar to Rumi.'

Yukinoshita might be similar to Rumi in the past, but because of the constant struggle during her childhood, she became a tough cookie.

"Then, if I am not able to meet anyone?" Rumi asked while staring at Shishio.

"You have me. Even if everyone becomes your enemies, I will be your ally."

"You're not a superhero."

"My bad. It sounds a little cringe, huh?" Shishio smiled and said, "But trust me."

Rumi stared at Shishio for a while and hated that she wasn't a high school student.

"...Can we exchange our numbers?"

Rumi asked hesitantly.

"Sure."

Hearing that answer, Rumi smiled for the first time.

The two exchanged their numbers before it was their time to part, considering the elementary school students had to gather on the ground since it was almost their time to go home.

Shishio looked at Rumi's back for a moment and felt he was quite irresponsible. However, he was helpless since his way might not be suitable for Rumi. While he had friends, it was hard to say whether his method was suitable for Rumi. He also wanted her to make friends with someone who was able to accept how she was instead of trying to act.

'If she's older, it would be great.'

Shishio suddenly thought for a moment, wondering what middle school she had chosen. If she didn't have a plan, it might be good to introduce Sunoharasou to Rumi since he knew Ayaka Sunohara could help her.

Her dorm was also a female dorm, so Rumi would naturally have few female friends easily.

Then, what about Aki Shiina?

Shishio thought it was almost time for him to leave the dorm. He thought for a moment and thought that his outing with every member of the Sunoharasou before they returned home might be the best time for him to handle this matter.

"Shishio-kun, did you just talk with Rumi?"

Shishio turned and saw that it was Yukinoshita. "It wasn't a good hobby to eavesdrop on someone."

Yukinoshita blushed, but she couldn't say anything. After all, it was the truth that she had eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Do you have something to talk about?" Shishio asked.

"Well..." Yukinoshita sat naturally next to him and said, "Having the people conspiring against you go away really helps you out, you know."

"I know. If possible, I want to reduce them to dust."

The two naturally laughed.

"You really have a bad personality."

"So, are you scared of me now?" Shishio asked.

"Not really." Yukinoshita smiled and gently flicked his forehead. "It's impossible for me to be scared of you."

"But I am already scared of you already."

"..." Yukinoshita.

"I was joking."

Shishio must admit that this gesture was unexpected from Yukinoshita, and he wondered what was happening. Still, he must admit that his previous plan was rash. After all, if the group of little girls reported to the teacher, the situation would be out of control.

However, the bear that suddenly appeared changed everything.

Even though it brought danger to everyone, it made them forget what had happened previously,

Still, the relationship between the little girls who loved to bully others had already crumbled, and they didn't have any powers to do anything.

As for Rumi, if she wanted to have a friend, she might need to work harder.

However, if she wanted a boyfriend, she had to wait for at least a legal age.

After all, Shishio didn't want to be troubled by a legal problem, and he also didn't have an interest in a little kid.

"By the way, for the movie, I am afraid I might trouble you," Yukinoshita said.

"Do you have plans for the summer break?" Shishio asked.

"Well..." Yukinoshita hesitated.

"Is it your family?" Shishio asked.

"How about you?" Yukinoshita asked.

Shishio knew he was right since Yukinoshita didn't answer his question but instead asked him a question. "I am going to go all out to play." He put all his energy into playing around during the summer vacation. He had finished all of his works, and he didn't want to encounter a similar situation as Rumi.

If Rumi didn't even give him a reward, Shishio might be too lazy to care.

Fortunately, Hiratsuka took care of him well every night, so this trip was worth it.

He also got a reward from Ebina, an appointment trip with Ebina and Yumiko, and a bear.

When he thought about Ebina, he knew that this girl was still in the mentality of playing. She wanted to try many things with him, and at the same time, she wanted to test him to see how he was going to react under the bombardment of her rotten personality, which slowly resurfaced.

Ebina might have always smiled all the time, but deep inside, she was a coward. She didn't want to be hurt or for anyone to see her as a disgusting person.

However, if someone could accept her and didn't show disgust, even if that person knew everything about her, she would hover around that person like a fly. It was annoying, but fortunately, she was cute.

"That's so like you." Yukinoshita sighed.

"If you are free, how about you visit Sakurasou? I will cook a bear there."

"Why don't you cook a bear in your apartment?" Yukinoshita asked.

After all, the distance between her apartment and his apartment was closer.

On the other hand, Sakurasou was quite far from her place.

"The smell of the bear is smelly. It is troublesome if I cook it in my apartment."

Unless he made a gadget that could absorb all the smell in the room, he wouldn't dare to cook a bear in his apartment. After all, one needed to use a special preparation to cook a bear.

"Was it that smelly?"

"I am not sure since I have never tried it, but I have heard that the smell isn't good."

"Really?"

"Yeah, is it gamey or something? I am not sure."

The two talked for a while before they were called by Yui.

"Shishiron! Yukinon! It's time to go back!"

Shishio stood up and said, "Let's go back." He extended his hand to Yukinoshita naturally.

"Okay." Yukinoshita took his hand and stood up.

The two walked together to the car since it was their time to go back.

Still, Shishio wondered whether Yukinoshita didn't come back to her home, yet he didn't say much since he knew that she had decided to follow him.

However, someone looked at them with a complicated gaze.

Before they returned, the teachers needed to say one or two words.

Still, the bear that appeared last night was known, and many people saw it, especially when the bear had entered the camp area. They also saw the scene where Shishio shot the bear dead. The eyes of the boys were shining brightly as if they had seen a superhero. The girls weren't much better.

Unlike adults, the children lacked something known as experience, so they didn't understand how dangerous their previous situation was.

Shishio didn't bother to talk and left everything to Hayama.

When it was time to go back, they talked for a while before they returned to the entrance of the school. It was just when they were about to go back that they saw a luxurious black car suddenly parked at the entrance of the school.

The person inside the car came out of the car, wearing a cool one-piece dress while waving her hand excitedly.

"Hi, Yukino!"

The voice of the young woman was so cheerful, greeting her little sister, whom she hadn't met for a while.

"Sis..." Yukinoshita only stared at her big sister.

'Ah, Shishio-kun, it's been a while~!"

Haruno Yukinoshita once again came and brought a storm to everyone.
