Chapter 37: Are you going to join a baseball club?
"Mizuto-kun, why did you wear that?"
On the next day, when they had breakfast, his parents noticed the change in his uniform.
While Mizuto wore his uniform appropriately, he wore a black turtleneck undershirt like the one used by a basketball player.
"I feel a little cold this morning."
"Really? Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I should be okay."
"If you don't feel good, I can call the school so you can rest, you know?"
"There is no need to do that, Yuni-san."
Truth be told, Mizuto didn't feel cold. Instead, the reason why he wore this turtleneck undershirt was all due to Yuni's daughter. It was all due to her naughty daughter that he had to wear this outfit, so when he glanced at Yume, she didn't dare to meet his gaze and just lowered her head as she ate quietly.
Even though they did naughty things every day, it didn't mean that they weren't careful. When they kissed, they were only limited to their lips, and he just went after her nipple or place that wouldn't be seen easily, such as her belly, thigh, or bottoms. Yume was also on the same as she usually only went after his abs or erection with those dirty, pink lips. However, yesterday was an exception.
Mizuto wasn't sure whether this was due to her possessiveness, as he had received many love letters, being picked up by bold women, or it was due to her excitement as yesterday his level had risen to Level 7, and he put all of those skill points into the "Sports Student," making him able to learn all related sports activities even faster.
Nevertheless, she broke the rules and left many hickeys on his neck. She was like a dog who used her urine to mark her territory, but instead of using such a dirty liquid, she left many hickeys on him as if marking him as her territory.
His body might be as good as those top-class athletes, but hickeys couldn't be erased so easily.
Fortunately, he had the "Store" skill, which made him able to buy a turtleneck undershirt to hide those hickeys and handle this problem calmly.
—or else what would happen to them?
"But, you look handsome, though. I guess many girls have confessed to you, right?" Yuni asked curiously, like a high school girl who was interested in love matters.
"Well..."
"Really? Did you get a lot of them? Are you going to get a girlfriend? If so, don't forget to introduce her to us, okay?
"Yeah, if you have a girlfriend, please tell us, okay?"
Facing his parents' insistence, Mizuto nodded and said calmly, "When I get a girlfriend, I will bring her home."
However, that answer caused his shin to be kicked by someone.
He glanced at the girl, who didn't dare to look into his eyes, and as expected, she lowered her head again as she felt guilty. Letting out a helpless sigh, he hoped that his appearance wouldn't attract much attention.
Yet, he knew such a thing was impossible.
"Why did you wear a turtleneck undershirt, Irido-kun? Are you going to join a baseball club?"
"No, I just feel a little cold."
He wasn't sure how many times someone asked him the same damn questions over and over again. Still, whenever he answered those questions, he didn't lower his voice so the culprit of this crime could reflect on what kind of trouble she had done for her stepbrother.
Moreover, this was just before they entered the school gate.
If they entered the school, he could imagine those numbers would increase even further.
At this moment, Yume didn't dare to meet his eyes, and she just lowered her head like a criminal being judged in front of the court.
Still, as they entered the entrance of the school to change their shoes, as expected, love letters fell from his locket shoes.
"...."
Mizuto wondered why the high school girls couldn't put their energy into studying instead of writing love letters for him.
Yet, facing this scene, Yume was calm, and she didn't even appear agitated since those girls didn't know that every night, she ravaged the man who had made them fall in love.
If she saw them, she would say, "It was me who took all of his first!"
"Good morning, Irido-kun, Yume."
"Good morning, Kousaka-san."
"Good morning, Reina."
Reina greeted the two with a smile, then startled when she saw many love letters coming out from Mizuto's locket shoes. "..are all love letters?"
"Yes."
"...shouldn't you feel happy?"
"I don't know them, and frankly, it is troublesome to reject them."
"Are you going to reject them?" Reina was surprised.
"You think I will accept them?"
"Well..." Reina wasn't sure how to say it since she felt that it wouldn't be wrong of him to try a date with one of those girls who confessed to him, but somehow she also understood how troublesome it was being confessed by someone to whom she didn't feel anything.
"While I am moved by their courage to send me a love letter, I don't know them, and I don't feel anything towards them. If we start dating, I am afraid that they might be disappointed in me." Still, Mizuto felt like Reina kept staring at him, which made him feel strange. "What's wrong, Kousaka-san?"
"No-Nothing!"
Reina only knew that someone around her age could be so mature, which gave her a different image of him in her heart. He wasn't bad, she thought.
Yume nodded and moved even closer to Mizuto.
"By the way, why did you wear that? Do you want to join the baseball club?" Reina suddenly asked again after she saw him wearing a turtleneck undershirt.
Mizuto wasn't sure how many times he had said the same things, but he said, "It feels a little bit chilly this morning," which caused Yume to lower her head once again.
"Yume-chan~! Reina-chan~! Irido-kun~! Good morning~!"
Suddenly, a familiar cheerful voice was heard, and even if they didn't turn their eyes, they could tell the source of this voice.
"Good morning, Akatsuki."
"Good morning, Akatsuki-chan."
Mizuto also greeted Akatsuki, but she also asked the same question, "Why did you wear that turtleneck undershirt?" and like before, he answered, "It feels a little bit chilly this morning." However, unlike others, she smiled and said mischievously, "Oh? I thought that someone gave you hickeys that you needed to hide them with that undershirt."
"?!"
While Yume's pupils widened and panicked, Reina was dumbfounded by Akatsuki's question. Still, this question was quite risque, and Yume had never experienced this type of question, so she was just stunned, feeling nervous inwardly. Even Reina, who wasn't being questioned, started to look at Mizuto with a dumbfounded expression.
"Hickeys? I don't have a girlfriend; who will give me those things?"
"Geez, do you even need a girlfriend so someone will give you hickeys?" Akatsuki asked with a smile.
"....."
Mizuto fell in silence, wondering why this girl's mood was so prickly in the morning. Was she on her period? But watching Yume, who was nervous and even frightened, he felt a little helpless. All of this problem was caused by his stepsister, yet why was he the one who needed to wipe her soft and bouncy buttocks?
"Well, that's true. Yume can also give me hickeys," Mizuto said those words boldly.
"Huh?!" 2x
While Yume and Reina were dumbfounded by the words that came out from Mizuto, Akatsuki narrowed her eyes.
"I was joking. There is no way for such a thing to happen, right? I wore this because this morning felt chilly."
If it were others, they might try to avoid the question, but he directly plunged into the fire, mixing the truth and the lie before changing the topic casually.
While Reina's lips twitched due to Mizuto's dangerous joke, Yume sighed in relief secretly, yet she was still glancing at Akatsuki and Mizuto nervously.
Watching him say those words casually, Akatsuki smiled and said, "Well, now that you mention it. It feels a bit chilly this morning." She then touched her bare legs, rubbing them up and down with her small hands softly with a sensual sigh. "Maybe I should wear stockings too?" When she asked that question, she looked up, causing a large gap to appear on her slightly oversized uniform, showing gentle slopes that were covered by a cute yellow bra.
"...if you feel a little cold, then I think it is a good choice to warm your body up."
While Mizuto felt slightly weird by this conversation, he didn't think too much as he felt happy that someone he knew started to pay attention to taking care of her health by using stockings. Still, his good mood aside, he needed to go to his classroom as the class was about to start. Nevertheless, as it was still the first week of school, there weren't many things that they needed to do since the teachers were still in the process of introduction, and the real lessons probably started the next week, so he spent most of his time reading the book from his driving school.
Still, when the break came, like yesterday, he saw while surrounded by Reina, Yume, and Akatsuki as he ate his lunch quietly and read a book, but somehow, his quiet time was interrupted.
"Ah, um, Irido-kun, did you receive my love letter?"
Mizuto stared at the girl, who suddenly came and approached him shyly and timidly.
Only Yume, Akatsuki, and Reina fell in silence as they stopped eating, watching the bold girl who expressed her love to Mizuto inside the class.

"....."
I somehow missed when I wrote "I Refuse to Become a Scumbag in Tokyo," considering I only need to upload one chapter for this many words of chapter, but anyway, enjoy.
As for the motorcycle choice, I have been looking for many motorcycles under 400cc since it is the type that he is allowed to use. Kawasaki is nice, but it isn't good for the passenger, considering how high it is. It might seem cool and all, but it is quite scary for the girls to sit in the passenger seat.
Still, no matter what the type of motorcycle is, as long as you are happy, it is fine.
Sometimes, I even thought of buying him a Super Cub as it is easier and more comfortable to ride with someone. It can even be ridden by four people or more! Amazing, right?
However, if you have any advice, then you can make a comment here about vehicles, whether it is a motorbike, bicycle, car, yacht, plane, rocket, tank, or even a warship!
Anyway, I might sometimes only give one chapter, though.
Remember that!
