"...." Shishio was in silence and thought about how to solve the problem in front of him. Even if he had decided to become a scumbag, he needed to be an elite scumbag, not those trashes that would play girls' feelings and used them as they pleased until they bored before they threw them away.

"Shishio, I want to see you naked," Shiina repeated her words once again. ​​

Shishio was speechless at Shiina since this girl was too eager to see his naked body, right? He then looked at Shiina with a serious expression and said, "Mashiro, you should know that the same as a girl's body, the boy's body can't be shown to anyone carelessly."

"But I don't mind," Shiina said while looking at Shishio.

"...." Shishio looked at Shiina with a serious expression and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Shishio, do you want to see me naked?" Shiina asked without looking away from Shishio.

"..." Shishio let out a sigh and said, "Mashiro, I know that you're alright to show your body to me, but what if someone suddenly asks you to see your naked body, let's see, for example, Shiro-san. Well, I'm sure that Shiro-san won't ask such a request to you, but try to imagine that Shiro-san suddenly comes to you and asks you to see your naked body, can you agree with his request?" He hoped for her to understand how ridiculous her request was.

Shiina started to imagine the scenario that was described by Shishio and she couldn't help but frown, and at the same time, there was a repulsive feeling in her heart. She shook her head and said, "I don't want to." She didn't know why she felt this, but when she thought Shiro-san would ask such a request, she felt disgusted somehow.

"You don't want to, right? I also feel the same now," Shishio said.

"But I'm not Shiro-san," Shiina said simply.

'....That's true.' Shishio was speechless, after all, if someone as cute as Shiina asked such a request, the majority of boys would agree without hesitation, but this was a matter of principle, if he really opened his clothes for Shiina right away then he knew that he wouldn't be that much different from Sorata, and he didn't really like that. Even if he would take off his clothes later, he wanted her to understand that her request was something that couldn't be done normally. "Anyway, it is impossible, even if I have said that I'll support you no matter what, there's also a limit, I won't show my body to you, but if you want me to draw a male's body, then I can do it anytime."

"Then how can I see your body?" Shiina didn't seem to want to give up.

"Why do you want to see my body so much?" Shishio asked with a confused expression.

"I want to understand better," Shiina said, staring at Shishio with pure eyes.

"..." Shishio wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth. Looking at Shiina again, he knew that he needed to educate her or else, she might be eaten by a scumbag sooner or later. "Mashiro, you should know that when someone is naked, they're in their very vulnerable state."

"Vulnerable state?" Shiina titled her head.

"Clothes can also be called armor, but unlike armor that is used by a knight or a warrior to protect themselves from enemy weapons, clothes are something that protects humans from embarrassment," Shishio said.

In truth, the function of clothes was to protect someone, but with the progression of time, the function of the clothes also started to change whether it was fashion, identity, protection, etc, but now, it had a function to protect a human, especially from an embarrassment, at least, that what he thought.

Of course, such a thought appeared because of common sense, and if common sense told the people in this world that wearing clothes were embarrassing and being naked was normal, then a lot of people would do that, unfortunately, Shiina didn't have such common sense.

"Embarrassment?" Shiina asked once again.

"Have you ever thought about why you wore clothes? If you don't understand what embarrassment is, then try to imagine yourself going to school without any clothes, what do you think?" Shishio asked slowly, trying to guide her by explaining to her common sense through various examples.

Shiina started to imagine herself again, walking to the school without any fabric of clothes on her body, and she didn't know why it made her frown again.

Shishio was glad to see the frown on Shiina's face and said a light smile, "You feel uncomfortable, right? This is also why you should remember that you can only show your naked body to someone that you trust."

"So you can't trust me, Shishio?" Shiina asked with some sadness and disappointment that was clearly shown on her face.

"........"

'Why does this girl always make me feel like this?' Shishio felt like he was facing a small girl, which made him helpless, but then when he thought about it calmly, wasn't it normal for a parent and a child to take a bath together? After all, a child couldn't take a bath, and the adult needed to take care of them, right?

However, the problem was that Shiina wasn't a child and Shishio couldn't apply the case above to his situation now.

"I trust you, Mashiro, but...." Before Shishio finished his words, Shiina nodded and said, "I understand."

"What?" Shishio was dumbfounded.

"I'll also take off my clothes so you won't be embarrassed and vulnerable," Shiina said and was about to take off her clothes, but Shishio quickly stopped her.

"Stop! Stop!" Shishio quickly stopped Shiina and felt that it was so hard to teach Shiina. "Only this time, alright? There won't be next time." Next time, both of them would be naked, and he would eat her at that time. Jokes aside, he knew that he needed to teach her a lot more things from now on.

Shiina nodded, but she had a feeling that Shishio might grant her request again if she asked him again in the future.

Once Shishio had decided on something, he wouldn't hesitate, so he took off his t-shirt directly, showing his lean body that was full of compact muscles.

Shiina wasn't sure why, but she felt her face was slightly hot, and at the same time, she had to admit that she was attracted to his body.

"Is this alright?" Shishio asked with an awkward expression, after all, he didn't expect that it would really turn out like this.

"......"

Shiina stared at Shishio's face and wasn't sure why she felt that she had done something very guilty, but when she looked at his body, her curiosity and desire were stronger so she stroked Shishio's muscles with her soft and white hand, tracing every of muscles from his neck moved down slowly to his nipple, navel, and abs, but when it was on his nipple, he moaned slightly and cursed Shiina inwardly.

"Are you alright, Shishio?" Shiina was a bit surprised when she heard his moan, but when she saw his flushed face, somehow she wanted to touch his nipple again.

"Don't touch my nipple, it is quite sensitive," Shishio said with a slightly flushed face, stopped Shiina's hand, and somehow he regretted his choice to do this. He then looked at Shiina whose hand was held by him, then asked, "So what do you think?"

Shiina felt that her body was slightly hot, she didn't know why, but she didn't hate it, however, she wasn't sure why she couldn't say all of that, and all she could say was... "It's hard, tough, and strong."

"So this is enough, right?" Shishio was about to wear his clothes again, but...

"I haven't seen your lower body," Shiina said with full expectation.

"....." Shishio looked at Shiina and asked, "Shiina, are you drawing a hentai manga?"

"Hentai manga?" Shiina titled her head, felt confused, but then she shook her head and said, "No, it is a shoujo manga."

'Shoujo manga, huh?' Shishio knew that sometimes a shoujo manga was raunchier than most of the manga. He knew that Shiina's editor told Shiina to draw something with more impact which was why she wanted to see his body. He looked at Shiina and somehow he thought to give her a story so this girl wouldn't draw a shoujo manga.

It wasn't that a shoujo manga wasn't good, but after all, the popularity of a shoujo manga wasn't as good as a male-oriented manga, and besides, a lot of girls also read the male-oriented manga too, which made the popularity of a male-oriented manga bigger.

'But...'

Shishio looked at Shiina who was looking at his body while drawing it in her drawing book with a serious expression and decided to keep it in his mouth first. He also hadn't written a story so even if there were a lot of stories on his head, it was only nonsense if he didn't put it on the paper.

"Shishio, take off your pants," Shiina said and woke him up from his thought.

"...." Shishio let out a sigh and said, "I won't take off my boxer, alright?"

"No," Shiina shook her head and said, "Take off your pants."

"If you can't agree with that, then let's stop here," Shishio said without hesitation too.

Looking at Shishio's serious expression, Shiina's expression started to change, and somehow she was a bit afraid so she asked in a soft voice, "Shishio, are you angry?"

Shishio's face softened and said, "I'm not angry, but your request is a bit too much for me." He patted Shiina's head gently with a helpless smile, showing that he didn't get angry, but he felt that her request was really a bit too much, and somehow, his morale also didn't allow him to show his naked body to this pure girl, but it was because he hadn't said goodbye to his past, and once that restraint vanished, then he might taint this girl.

Shiina closed her eyes and felt bliss on her head, feeling his pat. She also felt relief when she saw him, smiling gently at her, and somehow she didn't want to see him uncomfortable again, so she decided to make a compromise. "Then you can leave your boxer."

"........." Shishio thought that this girl would give up, but didn't expect that her desire to see his lower body would be so strong.
