Chapter 541: Noble

Chapter 541: Noble

“Cut!”

The voice of the director echoed the thought of the beach, telling everyone the shoot had ended.

When the scene ended, everyone clapped without hesitation since Mai’s acting gave them goosebumps. They really felt they were in the presence of a divine goddess that descended from heaven.

Roberta and the others who also happened to see the scene were in awe.

Everyone just stood there in silence, trying to reminisce about the scene they had seen previously.

In their minds, there was one question.

‘Is this a movie?’

They never thought a movie would be such a special thing. No, it wasn’t the movie. Instead, it was Mai who made this movie so special. Subconsciously, they looked in the direction of Shishio, hoping to see his reaction, yet somehow they sighed in relief since his gaze was normal. Those eyes had never changed and were lustful as usual, which made them sigh in relief.

Shishio noticed their gazes and felt speechless by their slander. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“….”

Yet who would have thought Mai would dash forward from the stage, ignoring her wet body, directly toward someone. This caused everyone to be attracted by her action and saw him run toward a handsome young man.

If Mai was like the goddess of the sun, bringing the light to everyone.

This young man was like the god of night, bringing darkness to his surroundings. He captivated everyone with his gaze, like a beast, yet strangely beautiful.

Mai didn’t care about everyone and just hugged him. Yet she didn’t say words of love. Instead, she scolded him. “You bastard! You’re late for visiting me!” She had heard that Shishio was going to visit, yet this guy was too late!

Every night she had always thought of him, yet she knew this guy spent his night with other girls. Frankly, she had always been afraid that he would forget about her, but all of those worries disappeared like a mirage when he came. Still, when she thought about his actions, she started to feel annoyed and thought of ignoring him. If he didn’t coax her, she would ignore him.

Yet when he stood there, he eclipsed everything. His figure was what was on her mind, and when her scene ended, she just ran in his direction and hugged him.

“Mai…”

Shishio wanted to kiss Mai, but she used her palm and pushed his jaw away. She had learned martial art from him, so stopping the claws of the beast was something easy for her. “Don’t do something weird. We’re in public.”

‘Weren’t you the one who hugged me?’ Shishio rolled his eyes, but in the end, he parted away from her. He wasn’t going to follow her game, begging her or anything since this wasn’t something that he loved to do, and as Mai had said previously, this was public.

While frankly, it didn’t really matter to him since he could control the public, and he also didn’t see the existence of the paparazzi. However, it was normal since a movie had always been a secretive matter. It was impossible to announce what was happening at the location since one might be sued.

Mai pouted since Shishio didn’t seem to be so eager to hug her or kiss him. However, suddenly Keika Kawasaki and Miya Ashihara looked at her with shining eyes, then asked, “Onee-chan, are you a princess?” While they knew Mai, she was quite low-key when they were at the theme park previously, but this time, her existence was ingrained in the minds of two little girls.

Mai smiled warmly and rubbed their heads. “Maybe, but please keep it a secret, alright?”

“Then, Shishio-nii is the prince?” Keika asked naively while looking at Shishio.

Mai and Shishio looked at each other and smiled.

“No, he is a demon who steals the princess from the prince, so don’t get close to him,” Mai said with a hint of tension.

“…” Shishio.

“Wh—?!” Two little girls were dumbfounded since they didn’t expect the gentle big brother they knew would be a demon.

“…” Shishio.

“No way!” 2x

However, the two little girls believed in Shishio, so they didn’t believe in Mai.

Mai stared at the two little girls, then at Shishio for a while, but she knew he liked the big one, so it was impossible.

Shishio wasn’t sure why, but he had a feeling Mai thought something rude about him.

When Mai was there, everyone talked to each other happily, and there were many things they wanted to ask. After all, she had been away for her movie, and when they met, they didn’t expect they would see such a wonderful scene.

If there was something that Mai regretted about was the fact she couldn’t be with him alone at this moment. Inwardly, she sighed when he talked with Hina and Roberta about something.

Had he lost interest in me?”

A certain emotion built in her heart, but suddenly she heard his voice.

‘Let’s meet up later tonight.’

It was only the voice that Mai could hear since she could see that no one could listen to those words.

Shishio was also in a similar situation. He must admit this was what made having a harem difficult since it was hard to treat one of his girls to be more special than others in front of the rest. He knew they all might be intimidated by Mai’s charm.

Girls were like that. In front of more beautiful women, they would feel worried about their appearance. After all, an appearance was a woman’s weapon.

Shishio knew how to handle this, but this wasn’t the place for him to solve this problem. He looked around and saw Kiriya talking with the director of the movie. He ignored them and just sat on the bench while looking at the beach.

“You’re not talking with her?” Nana asked while sitting with him.

“Do you want me to talk to her?” Shishio asked.

“Well, you two have been separated for a while.” While Nana must admit, her confidence was slightly hit by Mai’s sacred-like appearance, they would be sisters to each other, so there was no point in fighting. Yet, somehow she felt somewhat intimidated, wondering whether she should do it with her big sister, so she could get his attention more.

It was also why Hina and Rui didn’t seem intimidated by Mai since they were two people. In basic mathematics, it was obvious that two were bigger than one, right?

Nana also thought of a similar strategy.

However, Shishio only rubbed Nana’s head gently and asked, “But I want to stay with you, though. Is that not okay?”

“……”

Nana stared at Shishio and understood why she was in love with him. She glanced around for a while before she pulled him.

“Where are we going?” Shishio was startled.

“Let’s go to the toilet. I am afraid to go alone.”

“……..” Shishio wondered whether they would just go to a simple toilet, yet he didn’t stop and let her drag him somewhere where no one could see them.

Their meeting on the movie shoot wasn’t that long. After all, the crew still had a job to do. Even though everyone was surprised when they saw Mai and Shishio hug each other, they somehow felt it was natural for them to be together, especially when the director heard from Kiriya about Shishio’s identity.

Then, the director spread it to others, and there was a lot of gossip regarding how this movie could be so smooth. Yet did someone dare to say it?

In the entertainment industry, this type of thing was normal, and even some female crews didn’t even mind throwing their bodies at him if he wanted to. After all, compared to a group of old men with big bellies, wasn’t it better for them to be enjoyed by a handsome well-fit young man?

Still, the director talked to him and wondered whether he wanted to enter the scene. After all, the memory of Mai running and hugging Shishio was still vivid in his mind. He wanted to add such a scene to the movie, yet Shishio had to refuse since he didn’t come to shoot the movie, so while Mai was quite reluctant, she sent everyone off with a sigh, wondering when the movie would end. The only thing that could console her was the fact he would come to visit her tonight.

In the car, everyone thought to get lunch first since they hadn’t eaten anything since they arrived in Izu. After talking for a while, they decided to eat soba. The warm soba would be nice right after the rain. It also could make their stomach warm.

Shishio also knew that a woman was fairly sensitive toward a cold, so a nice warm broth of soba would make them comfortable. They could also eat the famous tempura from Izu in the shop, which was a plus point.

Yet when they entered the car, Shishio realized one problem.

“What’s wrong with you, Nana?”

“Yeah, your face is red.”

“Did you catch a cold?”

Mea, Maiko, and Saki looked at Nana worriedly. Even though her tan skin might hide it, her red face was pretty noticeable.

“Ah, um…” Nana blushed and didn’t know what to say.

On the other hand, Kiriya only stared at Shishio in silence.

“Keika-chan, do you want to try wasabi ice cream later?” Shishio suddenly said, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Wasabi ice cream?” Keika was quite curious. “Is it good?”

“Of course, it’s good. Let’s get them after we have lunch.”

“Yay~!” Keika smiled happily.

“Shishio, don’t spoil her too much,” Saki said helplessly, but her face was full of smiles.

Yet whether it was Nana, Mea, Maiko, or Futaba, they realized that this guy had tried to change the topic of the conversation. However, they didn’t bother to dismantle him since they knew what Nana and Shishio were doing secretly.

With the good food, everyone’s mood improved, and they toured the Izu in a happy mood, trying a good wasabi ice cream. If one might think it didn’t taste good, then they were wrong. The taste of the wasabi ice cream was quite sweet with a gentle, spiciness aftertaste. It had a unique flavor, and they loved it well.

Everyone was happy, and before they went to Shishio’s villa, they decided to buy some ingredients for dinner. While buying ingredients, they asked him about his villa, wondering how his villa was. According to their imagination, it would be like a normal house, or it might be bigger. After all, they had never seen a big house, especially in Tokyo, where the price of land was so steep.

In Tokyo, they also mostly stayed in his apartment. Even though it was huge, they only stayed in the room alone, so it was hard to tell how big it was. However, when they arrived at his villa, their jaws were hanging, half opened while their eyes opened wide. One thing was certain. They realized that he might be a hidden young master or a descendant of the noble family during the era of the Empire of Japan.

“…Onii-chan, you’re a prince, right?” Keika looked at Shishio with shining eyes.

Usually, someone might deny Keika at the moment, but no one did at the moment since they thought this guy was really a prince.
