Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 247 One of the problems with young girls: Lack of fidelity!

The famous female kendo athlete Elsa Amami once said: "Words can lie, but the body can't. Of course, this doesn't refer to physical contact that can be classified as criminal harassment, but simply things like holding hands."

The outcome of holding hands can be either 'breaking free' or 'not breaking free'.

Breaking free can be categorized into 'dislike' and 'shy'; not breaking free can be categorized into 'just having a good feeling' and 'being able to confess'.

Ono Mika's hands are delicate and soft.

What will be the outcome for Aoyama Osamu?
It's okay if you break free, even if it's an annoying break free. It's just holding hands, not being rejected after confessing your love.

Thinking about defeat before thinking about victory is a tradition.

Aoyama Ryo prepared a way out for himself.

"Is that the lighthouse we passed by during the day?" Mizuki Ono pointed outside.

“Hmm, maybe so.” Mika Ono tried to break free.

Aoyama Rin's breathing quickened, and he clenched his fists almost instinctively.

He stared at the distant lighthouse; the temperature of the spring water seemed to be higher than expected, and he felt hot all over.

—As long as Mika Ono continues to struggle, I will let go.

Mika Ono is not.

Let him hold it quietly.

"Glug." The water temperature was indeed higher than Aoyama Ryo had expected, and his mouth was dry.

Aoyama Riki held Ono Mika's hand tightly, feeling so hot that he could hardly breathe.

After a while, he calmed down and belatedly realized that he was afraid of hurting her, so he slowly reduced the pressure.

What if she pulls her hand back?
Thinking of this, Aoyama Risa couldn't help but want to clench her fist again.

But what's the point of holding hands with someone you've forced? It's very likely that Ono Mika is just forcing herself to avoid hurting him.

Aoyama Riki didn't want to force Ono Mika.

But to prevent Mika Ono from breaking free, he chose to let go directly!

As soon as he let go, Ono Mika immediately placed both hands on the edge of the hot spring, just like those tourists in Europe who would hide their phones and wallets.

This doesn't count as being rejected!

"Sister, shall I rub your back?" Ono Mizuki said.

"In the hot spring?" Ono Mika asked, puzzled.

"It's okay, it's just running water anyway, and the shop will clean it every day!"

“Mizuki, I want one too,” Aoyama Ryo said with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

"I don't owe you anything anymore!"

"Do you only wash my back if you owe me something?"

Ono Mika also laughed and said, "We can't favor one over the other, Mizuki."

"Okay. Sis, you go first."

Mizuki Ono swam up behind Mika Ono and rubbed her back with her hands.

"How's the force?"

"It can be heavier."

Does it itch anywhere?

"No."

"How about a massage?"

"Okay!"

"What's wrong?" Aoyama asked hurriedly.

"Mizuki!" Ono Mika shouted.

"Hehe~" Ono Mizuki chuckled to herself.

"What happened? What happened?" Aoyama Rika wanted to know!

"I'm not telling you!" Ono Mizuki huffed.

"We're family now! Tell me, I want to know too!"

"I really can't do anything with you, let me tell you." Ono Mizuki's tone was as if she were only seven years old, while Aoyama Ri was twenty-seven, and Aoyama Ri was throwing a tantrum on the ground just to get a bite of her cake.

"Don't tell!" Ono Mika said.

“But, Ri-ge said that if I don’t tell him, we’re not family anymore,” Ono Mizuki said, troubled.

"You're not allowed to tell!" Ono Mika insisted. "Anyway, he's not really part of our family!"

"Isn't it inappropriate for people who aren't family to soak in a hot spring together?" Ono Mizuki said subconsciously.

The atmosphere is about to become ambiguous.

"No matter what, you are not allowed to say a word," Ono Mika ordered.

"Then let me guess?" Aoyama Risa laughed, "Did Mizuki touch Mika-nee's waist?"

Ono Mika didn't say anything, but Ono Mizuki said in a tone that suggested she was being looked down upon, "Be even more lewd."

"Chest?"

"That's so lewd!"

"Too lewd?" Aoyama Li pondered. "Underarms?"

"Brother Li, you're such a pervert."

"I'm playing a riddle, not exposing my fetishes, you should understand?" Aoyama confirmed.

“Yes, I understand. You like armpits,” Mizuki Ono said.

“Yes, I like it.” Aoyama Rika subconsciously reached out to scratch her armpit, but only halfway with his hand out did he remember that they were in a hot spring.

Ono Mizuki wasn't wearing any clothes, and the lighting was poor. What if something unexpected happened? Wouldn't that be a repeat of the same mistake?
The same trick won't work on a Saint Seiya!
Just as Aoyama Risa stopped, two delicate limbs suddenly floated over, and his hand touched something.

"Ah!" Mizuki Ono exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Ono Mika asked quickly.

"What are you doing?!" Ono Mizuki demanded.

"What are you doing?" Aoyama Ritsu asked, puzzled. "How did your leg end up here? What position are you in?"

"What business is it of yours what position I'm in the water!" Ono Mizuki said.

"Huh? What happened? What's going on?" Ono Mika asked curiously.

"I just now"

"Don't tell!" Ono Mizuki said firmly.

“But Sister Meihua said that family members should not hide things from each other.”

"When did she say that!"

"Ask her." Aoyama Risa is not the kind of person who creates his own famous quotes.

"sister?"

"I did say that."

"Huh? When? Why? How come I didn't know? Tell me quickly!" It was Ono Mizuki's turn.

"Scrub my back first," said Aoyama Ritsu.

In the end, none of the three knew what they wanted to know.

But that didn't matter at all. Back in his room, Aoyama immediately contacted Ai.

"available?"

After saying good evening, seeing Ai immediately said, "Qingshan-kun, are we in a relationship where we need to contact each other every night?"

Is it convenient?

A sigh came from the other end of the line. After a brief pause, Shang Ai asked, "What is it?"

“I’m holding Mika’s hand!” Aoyama Rido said.

"Oh?" Seeing that Shang Ai immediately lost her disdain and became interested, she said, "I must admit, you are very proactive."

"The atmosphere is right."

"atmosphere?"

The three of them might not care about taking a bath together, but they certainly couldn't tell anyone else.

"Anyway, I held her hand," Aoyama Risa said.

"She didn't struggle?" Seeing that Shang Ai didn't care about the atmosphere.

"He struggled."

Seeing Ai's doubts, and judging from Aoyama Rin's tone, it didn't seem like she had encountered a setback.

"But I held on tight!"

Even though no one speaks, here there must be a "." in the title.

“After being caught, Meihua stopped struggling,” Aoyama said.

How much force did you use?

"Is this a matter of strength? No matter how strong you are, you can still struggle if you want to!"

"So you think that Senior Mika might have some feelings for you?"

“Let me finish,” Aoyama Osamu continued. “I held her hand, and she didn’t struggle.”

"You grip her hand tightly."

"But I don't like to force others, so I let go, I just let go, because I was afraid that if I didn't use enough force, she would pull her hand back."

"."

"Hey?"

I heard a laugh from the other end of the phone.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" Aoyama Osamu questioned.

"Sorry~" Ai said with a smile, "It's my cat, my cat."

"Your cat?"

"My cat just said that."

"explain?"

"No... wait a minute." After a moment of silence on Shang Ai's end, "I've sent the cat out. Let's continue."

Having to ask for a favor, Aoyama Rika had no choice but to believe that her cat could talk.

"I want to ask you, what does Sister Meihua think of me in this situation?" he asked.

"I don't know." "You're a genius."

“I’m just smarter than you, but not as smart as you think,” said Ai Jianshang.

“Then just say whatever you want, whether it’s right or wrong, I want to hear your opinion,” Aoyama Rido said.

Seeing that Shang Ai hesitated for a moment before speaking, she said, "She doesn't like you that much—it's just romantic attraction—but she doesn't dislike you that much either. She's probably hesitating."

Aoyama Rin didn't quite understand what this feeling was like.

"Specifically?" he asked.

“You’re not good enough,” said Jian Shang Ai.

[Aoyama Rin: "."] must be present here.

"Instead of blindly pursuing her, you might try to figure out what kind of people she likes first. Everyone has their own preferences," said Ai Jian.

"For example, you like people with good character."

“That’s right,” Jian Shang smiled.

"So what kind of person do you think Mei-hua likes?" Aoyama asked.

"Your sister seems gentle, and she treats everything like studying. She seems serious, but she doesn't really care. I can't tell what kind of person she likes, and I've never met her."

"We can only ask Mizuki," Aoyama Ryo muttered to himself.

“There are plenty of ways.” After a brief pause, Aoi continued, “But, Aoyama-kun, have you thought this through? Do you really want to change yourself for someone?”

"Everyone changes themselves to some extent for the sake of their career or for love."

"It's good that you've thought it through," said Jian Shang Ai.

Neither of them spoke.

"Why is there no sound of the sea breeze?" asked Ai.

"As payment, I'll let you hear it." Aoyama Ryo walked to the window and opened it.

The Seto Inland Sea rarely has waves, and tonight is also a windless night.

"It seems there's no wind."

"Then what should I get in return for my compensation?"

“Whoosh~~, whoosh~” Aoyama Risa blew twice.

Seeing this, Ai smiled and said, "Good luck, Aoyama-kun."

"Thank you."

"Goodbye."

"Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Aoyama Osamu sat by the window, gazing at the Seto Inland Sea at night.

You can't ask Ono Mizuki directly; she might not know, and even if she did, it might not be accurate.

This matter should be asked of Ono Mika herself, and the answer must be the truth.

Aoyama closed the window and went back to his room to get a book.

[Guide to Getting Started with Reading]

I wasn't focused enough this time. In two hours, my mind wandered five or six times, thinking about the hot springs tonight.

On July 30th, after breakfast, the three of them took a water taxi—that is, rented a boat—to the second island they had planned to visit, Ogijima Island.

From a distance, the houses on the island look like seats in a movie, ensuring that every household can see the 'sea' as a screen.

"Otogijima—, hello—" Ono Mizuki cheered.

The fisherman who was steering the boat laughed, his face showing an expression that said, "She's so cute, I really want to give her the boat."

A natural idol aura—making people spend money—that's how adorable Mizuki Ono is.

As soon as I got ashore, I saw cats taking a walk.

“There are quite a lot,” said Aoyama Risa.

"Judging from the senior students' requirements for the number of cats, they might be higher than ours," Ono Mizuki guessed.

"Shall we have a competition?" Aoyama Risa said with a smile.

“No comparison!” Ono Mizuki replied immediately.

"Have you already given up on revenge?" Aoyama asked curiously.

"Humph!"

"What are we competing in?" Ono Mika asked with a smile, pressing down her hair which was being blown by the wind.

“Take a picture of the cat, one for each person, and see who takes the best picture. The winner can ask the loser any question, and the loser must answer honestly,” said Aoyama Risa.

"Take pictures of the cat?" Ono Mizuki thought to herself, and it seemed like a good idea.

"Any question is fine?" Mika Ono confirmed.

“Okay.” Aoyama nodded. “After taking the photos, send them all to Mikami Ai without telling her about the competition or who took which photo. Let her decide who the winner is.”

Mizuki Ono had no more doubts: "I'll participate!"

"Mika-nee?" Aoyama Ryo looked at Ono Mika.

“Okay,” Ono Mika said with a smile.

The three embarked on a cat-photography journey.

On a green leaf that was translucent in the sunlight, there was a huge cicada shell. The cat seemed curious and kept staring at it.

A wall made of large rocks, covered with ferns, where a cat yawns in the shade of the ferns.

The cat's fur seemed to be glowing in the hot weather.

While taking photos, we headed to the hotel we had booked, this time using the Miyako Card.

After checking in, the three of them enjoyed the air conditioning and started choosing photos.

"They're all so cute!" Ono Mizuki was absolutely delighted with the photos she had taken.

Mika Ono is also conflicted.

Last night, Aoyama Rika watched "How to Take Pictures of Cats with Your Phone".

"Send me your choices, and I'll forward them to the senior students I'm meeting," said Mizuki Ono.

"Prevent me from cheating? She'll help me cheat?" Aoyama Risa found it amusing.

"I was worried that the senior students wouldn't like you, so I deliberately said that the least attractive one was the most attractive one."

Impossible. It's not entirely impossible that she likes cats so much.

After Aoyama Rika and Ono Mika made their choices, they sent them to Ono Mizuki. Ono Mizuki hesitated for a while before sending them all to Mikami Ai.

To be fair, she placed the phone on the table so that everyone could see the chat history.

[Ono Mizuki: [Image 1][Image 2][Image 3]]

[Mizuki Ono: When I met my senior, which picture do you think is the best?]

[See Love: They're all beautiful!]

Aoyama Ono and the other two simultaneously showed expressions of 'I knew it'.

Also, why not say 'Good morning'? Is this some kind of differential treatment?

"What should we do?" Ono Mizuki asked the two.

"Tell me you want to choose a new profile picture?" Mika Ono suggested tentatively.

Ono Mizuki's eyes lit up.

"What if mine is the best-looking one, and you want to use the one I took as your profile picture?" Aoyama teased her.

"It has to be mine that looks the best! Even if it's yours, why can't I use it? You took the picture, so I can use it if I want!"

[Ono Mizuki: I met my senior, and I want to choose the best one as my profile picture!]

[See Love: Any one of these is fine!]

This woman is beyond help.

Putting aside looks and character, if a man owns a cat, you might not necessarily think he's a good person, but you'd certainly assume he can't be too bad.

"What should we do?" Ono Mizuki asked the two of them again.

“Acting cute,” said Aoyama Risa.

Ono Mizuki looked at him with slight suspicion, but still did as he said.

[Ono Mizuki: Please, help me~]

"Call me 'older sister'," Aoyama Rie added.

[Ono Mizuki: See you, older sister~~]

Aoyama Ryo's phone rang, almost making one think that Ono Mizuki's message had been sent to the wrong person.

He took out his cell phone.

[See Love: Your Plans?]

[Aoyama Osamu: Black Cat]

He calmly put away his phone, saying, "That guy, Xiaolin, bought another signature sneaker."

On the table, Mizuki Ono's phone vibrated.

[See Love Online: Black Cat is the one I absolutely must choose.]

— They actually chose the black cat.

The black cat wasn't photographed by Aoyama Risa, but by Ono Mika.

He believes that when it comes to which cat photo looks better, he will never back down from his love for it.

Wait, does that mean the black cat really is the most beautiful?

[Ono Mizuki: Thank you for meeting me, senior!]

"Sis! You won!" Ono Mizuki cheered.

"Let's change our profile picture first," Mika Ono said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Ono Mizuki said in a humming tone as she changed her profile picture, "What questions do you want to ask Ri-nii~"

"It's not like you're the one asking." Aoyama Ryou felt really annoyed.

She changed her profile picture and looked at Ono Mika with a grin: "Sis, what are you planning to ask?"

Mika Ono pondered for a moment, then smiled as if she remembered something and said, "You have the same problem."

"What?" Aoyama Riya asked curiously.

"Mizuki, what kind of boy do you like? Rin, what kind of girl do you like?" Ono Mika asked.
