I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

They spent a few hours shooting before they decided to have lunch together.

As he had said before, he was going to treat them to a pizza.

"Pizza? In this neighborhood?"

They thought that he would bring them to the shop near the street or something, but he brought them to a place where people were living. There were hardly any shops, and they could only see houses in this area.

"Just believe me, but it isn't a pizza like in Italy. Is that okay?" Shishio looked at Rita.

"It's okay. When you're in Rome, you should do what Rome does. I am in this country, so I will follow how the people in this country do."

Rita was no longer going to be flabbergasted by anything that she saw. Shishio had brought him to eat at the restaurant on the vegetable market. This neighborhood was nothing compared to several trucks that had passed and honked at her several times.

"You don't need to be so serious, Rita. I am sure that Shishio will bring us to a good place, right?" Yui felt that Rita was exaggerating.

"Say that to him since the first time he brought me to a vegetable market for breakfast." Rita felt a bit of a grudge since he had brought her to such a place.

"Vegetable market?!" 2x

Yui and Hikigaya were dumbfounded.

"It's like this..." Yukinoshita explained, to which Hikigaya nodded. "Is that why there were so many vegetables in your car before?"

"That's mine," Yukinoshita answered since she thought of making a good salad or hot pot with it.

"Oh..." Still, Hikigaya felt that it might be good to become a woman since that way, he didn't have to work and stay at home all the time, especially if he could make Shishio an interest.

'But... I'm in the female version, huh?'

Hikigaya had a hard time imagining such a picture.

No, he didn't really want to!

While Hikigaya was in the middle of his thought, Shishio reminded everyone, "We're here."

"Oh?" 4x

The four of them quickly saw a modest restaurant, which wasn't much different from the houses in the surrounding area.

"La Rimini Pizza?"

"There's a map here!" Yui was quickly attracted to the map at the entrance of the restaurant. "What country is this?"

"...that's an Italy."

"......" Yui realized that she was a bit stupid.

"But Cattolica?"

"It's a city in Italy. It means that the pizza in this restaurant should follow how the people in Cattolica town make a pizza."

"That's interesting." Yukinoshita nodded and became curious about the store.

"Look! There is a kiln for pizza inside!" Rita quickly noticed the owner of the restaurant seemed to be checking the fire inside the kiln.

"Oh!" 3x

One thing was for sure, they felt a bit excited about this restaurant, especially when Shishio was going to treat them.

"Let's enter."

They didn't hesitate and followed Shishio, who entered first.

"Welcome," the gruff voice of the owner welcomed all of them.

"Is there a table for five?"

"Five?" The owner thought for a moment and said, "Let me combine the table." He walked out from the counter and dragged the two tables in the restaurant to become one. The restaurant was rather small, but even so, it was kind of cozy and elegant, especially with only three tables in the restaurant.

Suddenly, Shishio felt he should invite Rui Tachibana.

When the table was ready, Hikigaya took a seat next to Shishio.

Yukinoshita was also the same, but Yui and Rita looked at each other and smiled, sitting on the opposite side of Shishio's seat with a helpless sigh in their hearts.

When they were all seated, the owner brought them a glass of water for all of them and several menus for them.

"Please call me when you have decided on your order."

They nodded before they looked at the menu curiously.

Shishio looked at Hikigaya, who stretched his neck to look at the menu on his hand and felt a bit strange since this guy was too close. However, he didn't say anything and just moved slightly toward Yukinoshita since her scent was lovely.

Everyone had been curious about the pizza of Cattolica town, but when they saw the menu, they were all dumbfounded.

"Huh?" 5x

"Garlic pizza... Anchovy pizza... Natto pizza... Dry cured ham pizza... Ham & egg pizza... Japanese style pizza..."

"Natto?! Japanese-style pizza?!"

Their expression became even weirder.

"What's with those names? Shouldn't it be like Margherita or Marinara? What's with these unspecific names?" Rita was speechless. While she had raised her guard to prepare everything, she was suddenly jabbed in the chest, which almost made her fall down, especially when she saw a list of unspecific names of pizza.

"Look! There's also a sweet pizza!" Yui was even more surprised.

"Coconut, orange, chocolate, tea?" Hikigaya was speechless as he looked at Shishio. "What kind of restaurant did you bring us to?"

"I am not sure, but all I can say is the food should be delicious." Shishio also wasn't sure, but he heard the food in this restaurant was good, so he just brought them. Yet could he be blamed?

In 2005, it was hard to search for information about a restaurant on the internet.

"But it is interesting, right?"

While the names of the menu were kind of weird, he felt that those menus were interesting.

Could they deny it? No.

They were still young, so they were quite interested in trying something new.

"By the way, what is the pizza of the week?" Yui was confused.

"Let me ask." He looked at the owner, who still looked at the kiln, and asked, "Excuse me. What is the pizza of the week?"

"It's cherry-shrimp pizza."

"........"

What could they say? It was hard to imagine what kind of pizza they would get with the name alone.

"But the pasta is more interesting." Shishio thought that he would definitely bring Rui here.

They were all looking at the pasta menu and fell into silence.

"Tomato salty, salty creamy, spicy..." Rita rubbed her temple and asked, "Isn't there something like carbonara, bolognese, or peperoncino?"

"How about we order?" Shishio couldn't wait to taste the food.

"Can we get the Japanese Style?" Yukinoshita asked.

"Sure." Shishio nodded. "While we're at it, we should order the Natto too."

They also nodded without hesitation.

"Oh! Oh! Shishio, get the sweet one!"

"Which one?"

"Hm... should we get chocolate or orange?"

"How about both? There are five of us."

"But don't order too much." Rita touched her belly and sighed since she hoped she had a constitution where she wouldn't get fat no matter how much she ate. "I want to get pasta too."

"Well, if you can't finish the pasta, I can eat it," Shishio said.

"Really?" Rita was surprised.

"You don't want to?"

"No, no, it's okay!"

Yukinoshita thought for a moment and said, "If possible, let's get a small plate, so we can share the pasta since I am also curious about them."

They couldn't deny it since even if the name of the pasta was vague, they were curious about how it tasted.

"Excuse me."

"Yes." The owner came and asked, "Have you decided on your order?"

"Can we get natto pizza, a Japanese-style pizza, orange pizza, chocolate pizza, and... ham & egg pizza." Shishio looked at Yukinoshita, Rita, and Yui. "If you want pasta, you should order it too."

"Then, I will get a spicy pasta." Yukinoshita didn't hesitate.

"I am enough." After all, Yui felt a bit uncomfortable if she kept ordering, and the price of the pizza wasn't exactly low either.

"I will get a creamy pasta," Rita also didn't hesitate, but she chose quite a safe choice since she didn't want to try a weird pasta.

Shishio looked at Hikigaya and asked, "How about you, Senpai."

"No, it's okay. This is enough." Hikigaya had to say during this moment, being a woman was nice since they could be treated, but he felt a bit uncomfortable to receive all of this.

The owner wrote their order and quickly prepared it right away.

As they waited for their orders, they observed the restaurant curiously.

"What is that?" Yui looked at several bottles on the counter.

"That should be... condiments?"

"Yes, those are condiments. The square bottle is spicy oil white, and the triangular bottle is moderately spicy." They were the only customers in this restaurant, and Yui's voice also wasn't low, so it could be heard by the owner, who was in the kitchen, which was right in front of them.

"As for the last bottle, is it olive oil?" Rita asked.

"Yes."

"Can we use them?" Rita asked.

"Please." The owner nodded before he continued to bake the pizza.

Rita took the condiments to their table without hesitation since eating a pizza with thick olive oil was nice.

"Your pizza is ready."

Soon, their pizza was ready.

They looked at the various foods on their table, and they had to say that they were delicious.

"Let's eat."

"OOOOH!"

Shishio sent Hikigaya first.

As for the rest, Hikigaya didn't care since his stomach was satisfied.

Girl? What is that?

Well, tomorrow, they would also continue their shooting, so he wondered whether Shishio would treat him again.

"Next time, let's bring Komachi there."

Hikigaya was sure that Komachi would be surprised by the variety of pizza in that place.

After sending Hikigaya, Shishio sent Yui back to her home.

Yui looked at Yukinoshita before Rita for a while. She hesitated, but in the end, she could only smile wrily, wondering what he should do. The sky was still bright, and she felt it was too early to go home, but could she say to him that she didn't want to go home?

While Yui thought a lot of things on her mind, they arrived in front of her house.

"Senpai, we have arrived at your house."

"Oh-oh..." Yui nodded, hesitating, before she sighed and walked out of the car, but when she walked out, someone opened the door of the room.

"Yui? Eh? Shishio-kun?"

Shishio was also surprised to see Yuigahama Hana (Yui's mother) and greet her. "It's been a while, Hana-san."

"Hmm?" 2x

Yukinoshita and Rita looked at Shishio with strange expressions.
