Chapter 263: Gods of Suimei
Shishio didn't turn back and kept walking to the entrance of the apartment. He knew what kind of trouble that Mai faced, but at the same time, he also knew that she wanted to return to the show-biz, which was why, he said those words even though he knew that she might get angry.
As for trying to seduce Mai, even though such thought crossed his mind, Shishio knew what was important right now was to help Mai solve her problem. He had made his preparation, and as for the matter of heart, he was going to leave it on the side.
Shishio was thinking about his preparation, but then he was dumbfounded when he saw Roberta waiting with an umbrella outside of the apartment. He didn't hesitate to dash and came to Roberta. "Roberta, why did you wait outside? You're going to catch a cold!" He didn't hesitate to scold this woman when she didn't even put her health first. He took out his handkerchief and wiped her wet face. "Don't do this again. Next time, just wait for me inside the car, alright?" Even though he knew that this woman was a female terminator, she was still a human after all, and anything could happen to her.
"Yes, Shishio-sama." Roberta's answer was still calm as usual, but there was a tint of blush on her cheeks.
"Let's go. Let's go back and take a warm bath later." Shishio took the umbrella naturally as he held Roberta's hand, guiding her to enter the car.
"....."
Roberta looked at Shishio and wondered how this guy could be skilled. She didn't even have time to reject, and she was put in the passenger seat by him. She then stared at Shishio, who was in the driving seat so smoothly, that she couldn't even say anything.
"What's wrong, Roberta?" Shishio asked.
"Nothing, Shishio-sama." Roberta shook her head gently.
Shishio started the car and said, "By the way, Roberta."
"What's wrong, Shishio-sama?"
"I'll have another match. Not sure when, but probably this week." Shishio knew that Roberta would follow him, so he decided to tell her about his match in Tokugawa's arena.
Roberta looked at Shishio for a moment, feeling a bit worried, but when she thought about his strength, she nodded and said, "Yes, I'll prepare later." As for his decision, she had never questioned it, and she would stay by his side to support him no matter what.
"Thank you."
Roberta nodded with a smile on her face.
"By the way, Roberta."
"Is there something wrong, Shishio-sama?"
"Has a soundproof compartment been installed in my room?"
".........." Roberta.
---
As Shishio and Roberta returned to Sakurasou, Shishio thought to visit Tokugawa tonight, but he would visit him alone since he wanted to show his ability to Tokugawa.
As the descendant of the Tokugawa clan, Shishio was sure that the security around Tokugawa's house must be powerful, and there must be various advanced security machines and a lot of bodyguards that protected Tokugawa's house. Still, even so, he believed that he could sneak into it easily.
"Have you eaten, Roberta?" Shishio asked.
"I haven't, Shishio-sama."
"Then I'll take a bath first, and I'll cook something for dinner after that." Shishio looked at Roberta and said, "You should also take a bath since your body must be cold."
"Yes." Roberta nodded, feeling warm in her heart.
Shishio then went to his room to get his clothes before he took a bath, but before that, he checked whether his room was really soundproof or not at this moment. After closing the door, he shouted out loud before he walked out and knocked on Ryuunosuke's room.
Ryuunosuke opened his room then said, "It's done. Do you want to see it?"
Looking at Ryuunosuke's reaction, Shishio knew that Ryuunosuke didn't hear anything, so he also wouldn't say anything. He nodded and said, "You sure work so fast."
"Your idea is interesting," Ryuunosuke said calmly.
"Let me see it."
"It's still empty, though. You need someone to write something there."
Shishio, who had entered Ryuunosuke's room, looked at the forum website that had been made by Ryuunosuke on the computer screen and nodded in satisfaction. "It's good enough."
"But your idea is good." Ryuunosuke, sitting on the chair, checked the forum website, looking at the design template that Shishio had prepared. He had to admit that the design prepared by Shishio was pleasing to the eyes, and it felt so comfortable on his eyes.
"Even if we don't do it, someone will do it in the future, so while there's still no one who has done it. I thought I'd do it first."
Shishio's idea wasn't something new. Instead, it was quite normal since he asked Ryuunosuke to create a community forum where the students at the Suimei Academy could communicate with each other.
His idea wasn't new, but no one had done it in the school, which was why he was going to do it since this way, he could have a weapon in his hand.
His way of describing this community forum as a weapon might sound exaggerated to some people. Still, by controlling this community forum, he could destroy someone's social life, for example: by creating a fake rumor about the person that he wanted to destroy. However, at the same time, it also gave him the means to protect himself and the people that he cared about.
Shishio then looked at Ryuunosuke and said, "Ryuunosuke, you should remember that by controlling this forum, we can destroy someone's life at school, so you should be careful. Still, if you have someone that you hate, then I don't really mind that you use this forum as a way for revenge."
"I know." Ryuunosuke nodded without hesitation. He knew that controlling this forum meant he controlled the media.
The media was a powerful weapon. With just a few words, someone's social life could be destroyed.
"But what's your plan for this forum?" Ryuunosuke asked.
"If possible, I just want to create a healthy community where everyone can share about everything in the school. Whether it is about food, study tricks, or various positive things, but I know that sometimes humans are just mean," Shishio said as he stared at the monitor while checking the website.
Ryuunosuke nodded and agreed with Shishio's words since sometimes humans were just mean.
They were jealous, hateful, angry, and unreasonable toward you even though you didn't do anything.
"So, should we show the name of the ID?" Ryuunosuke thought that if the ID was shown, then they wouldn't do anything weird.
Shishio shook his head and said, "Let's keep the ID anonymous, but we can keep their information data for ourselves."
"Why?"
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
Ryuunosuke raised his eyebrow and asked, "Abraham Lincoln?"
"Staying anonymous will give them a sense that they won't be responsible for what they're doing. It gives them an illusion that they can do anything in this forum, which is why their characters will be tested there. If they do nothing and are good kids, then we can happily watch them, but if they're naughty, then we can remind them that we watch them," Shishio said.
"....."
Ryuunosuke looked at Shishio and said, "It feels like we're Gods at the Suimei if this forum is successful."
Shishio laughed and said, "We're Gods of the new world." He then shook his head and said, "Enough of joking. If possible, can you help me to copy the popular discussion or trip or trick on the website or forum to our website?" He knew that no one would be interested in an empty forum, so it was necessary to fill it with various interesting discussions. It might be impossible to create a lot of them, but it was possible to copy them.
"I know."
Ryuunosuke nodded without hesitation since if this forum community was successful, they would become Gods on the Suimei Academy. They could decide the death of someone's social life so easily if their forum was successful. "But you should know that copying isn't the way, right? Instead, we need someone to create a discussion."
"You don't need to worry. I'm part of a literature club. I'll handle the rest. I'll make sure that this forum community is popular," Shishio said without hesitation. As for the discussion on the forum, even though it was a bit empty now, he could ask the literature club members to help him. He also knew that they would keep this a secret for him, considering all of them were women, though he might need to keep this a secret from Usa since he didn't really believe in Usa, especially when Usa was in love with Ritsu.
Shishio was afraid that if Usa had a broken heart, this guy might do something ridiculous, which was why he kept the matter of forum community as a secret.
Looking at Shishio, Ryuunosuke couldn't help but smile, but then he asked, "Can they keep a secret?" He was a bit worried that their information would be known and they would be known as the founder of the school forum.
"It's alright. Leave the outside to me, and I want you to handle the inside," Shishio said without hesitation. He knew how disappointing this guy's social life was, so it was useless to leave the rest to the matter outside to Ryuunosuke.
"I know." Ryuunosuke nodded without hesitation. He knew that Shishio was better than him in programming, but Shishio believed in him, and he had to admit that it felt great being entrusted with something. More importantly, it was even better when his partner was talented. This way, he wouldn't be burdened, and they could move together freely in the future.
Shishio looked at the website for a moment and said, "Well, I'll take a bath now. You should take a rest, and I'll make dinner soon. You should go down."
"I know."
Hearing that Shishio was going to make dinner, Ryuunosuke nodded without hesitation. "Can you make me something with tomato?"
"Leave it to me." Shishio nodded without hesitation, but then when he was about to walk out. "Right, Ryuunosuke, did you hear something before?"
"Huh?" Ryuunoske looked at Shishio in confusion.
"Well, it is alright if you don't hear anything. I'll see you in the dining room." After confirming that Ryuunosuke didn't hear anything, Shishio knew that everyone was alright, and he didn't need to worry if Shiina made a noise later tonight.
"Wait, Oga."
"What's wrong?" Shishio looked at Ryuunosuke, who called him so suddenly.
"This is just the beginning, right?" Ryuunosuke asked since he had a feeling that Shishio was about to do something big.
"You think too much. I might spend most of my time with my girlfriends after this forum is successful. Sorry for taking your time on my whim. You're busy, right?" Shishio said and didn't say much about what he was planning to do in the future. He had a lot of ideas that would give him a lot of money, but he wasn't kind enough to provide Ryuunosuke with a share even though Ryuunosuke was talented.
Shishio had his team, and even without Ryuunnosuke, he could create his internet empire. Still, he might need to talk about this with Ryuunosuke, asking about his thoughts since he knew he also needed someone talented.
"It's okay." Ryuunosuke's expression was a bit complicated, then said, "You should stop wasting your time on love. It is a waste of time."
"Without love, the world wouldn't matter."
Without wasting his time, Shishio went to take a bath, enjoying the warm water. He was too lazy to argue with Ryuunosuke, who was asexual. Looking at the bathroom ceiling, he knew that his plan was in progress, and he was going to make sure that he was going to save her.
As for Ryuunosuke, he felt a bit complicated and had a feeling that Shishio was going to take a flight somewhere to the place where he couldn't imagine, but at the same time, he felt a bit frustrated that he couldn't be part of Shishio's journey.
