Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 255 The Problem Girl's Problem Isn't a Problem

Two hours later, the brother and sister went to the practice room.

Ono Mizuki hummed a song as Aoyama Risa walked behind her with his hands in his pockets.

Suddenly, she covered her buttocks with both hands and stopped walking.

"What's wrong? Do you need to use the restroom?" Aoyama asked.

Ono Mizuki turned around: "Brother, has anyone ever told you that your gaze is lewd?"

"How could that be!" Because the statement was so unrealistic, Aoyama even laughed.

Of course, some people have said that.

Ono Mizuki expressed doubt about his answer, but didn't say anything more.

The two continued walking forward, with Aoyama Risa continuing to stare at her.

He always treated Ono Mizuki as a junior high school student. What's the difference between a high school student who just finished the first semester of her first year and a junior high school student?
Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that there have been significant changes.

Or rather, it was something he hadn't noticed before.

Mizuki Ono isn't actually around 1.5 meters tall, but rather around 1.55 meters.

Her skin was so white that it looked like she stayed at home all day and never went out. Her face, hands, and ears, the parts exposed to the air, also seemed to have skipped the growth stage and were enlarged directly from infancy, with a fair and tender appearance that had not experienced any years.

She has sweet features, big eyes, and an innocent, naturally smiling demeanor.

Anyone who sees her will unconsciously fall in love with her.

However, what used to be a fondness for children has now expanded to include a fondness for cute members of the opposite sex.

Her body curves also became more defined. Although she was petite, her breasts and hips had clear curves that looked soft and gave her a feminine charm.

—I've grown up.

Ono Mizuki stopped and pointed ahead, ordering, "Go ahead."

Aoyama was very pleased that his younger sister had such a high level of awareness about avoiding sexual predators.

—If Aoi knew what I just did, what would she do?
That guy already considers Ono Mizuki his little sister, so he might use force against Aoyama Osamu.

Besides men, we also need to be wary of girls like Miyuki Aoi, and prevent such people from getting close to Miyuki Ono.

Ono Mizuki, who was wary of Aoyama Risa, and Aoyama Risa, who was wary of everyone on behalf of Ono Mizuki, entered the training room.

"Where am I now, the person I once was?" Mika Ono sang softly.

The last note of a song.

This single sentence is enough to leave one mesmerized.

"My sister is amazing," Ono Mizuki murmured.

“I think so too,” said Aoyama Risa.

"No!" Mizuki Ono suddenly denied firmly, "Everyone in the Sunny Day Band is amazing!"

Qingshan couldn't really explain this to her.

"Mika, you're starting to look like a professional singer!" Akika Agasa exclaimed as soon as the music stopped.

“Sometimes, while listening, I can’t help but stop and listen carefully!” drummer Meng Shi said.

"That's an exaggeration!" Ono Mika said with a shy, wry smile.

"Alright everyone, it's time to go have some fun," said Aoyama Risa.

Bassist Sakura played an impromptu bass piece.

She pressed down on the strings and said, "How about this chapter of joy, 'after two hours of training, we hear we can go out and have fun'?"

"Never mind that! Let's hurry up and have some fun!" my wife, Akari, said.

"I need to use the restroom!" F. Rino said.

"You have thirty seconds!"

"No time! I still need to wash my face and reapply sunscreen!"

The girls are still in high school, so they can leave the house in ten minutes. But once they start trying to put on makeup, it might not even take thirty minutes.

"Can you ride a bicycle?" Aoyama asked.

Akika Gasai, drummer Yumemi, and F. Rino exchanged glances to confirm that they all knew the same thing, and then they all looked at bassist Sakurako.

"Sakura-senpai, do you know how?" Drummer Yume asked tentatively.

After all, if there's a maid in the house, the probability of her not knowing how to ride a bicycle is relatively high.

“You guys overestimate me.” Bess Sakura sighed. “When I was little, I went to Karuizawa to escape the summer heat and learned from Miss Mikami.”

"." Everyone was speechless.

Is it an underestimation or an overestimation?
Since they all knew how to ride bicycles, the seven of them rented electric bicycles after leaving the hotel for 4 hours for 1000 yen.

Start cycling around the island.

Teshima is more pristine than Shodoshima.

The island has flowerbeds, terraced fields, and large groves of orange trees along the roadside.

There weren't as many people as on Shodoshima Island. During the ride, we didn't encounter many cars or people. It felt like the seven of us had the whole island to ourselves.

I only encountered a few tourists at the Teshima Art Museum and the Heart Museum.

The Teshima Art Museum is enchanting; its winding paths and the softly speaking white-clad guides create a sense of tranquility.

The art museum has no pillars, and its ceiling is a smooth, white, curved surface.

"It feels like a dream world!" Mizuki Ono whispered.

The Heart Museum is somewhat interesting, I suppose.

In the dimly lit room, the different heartbeats were amplified loudly, giving the feeling of being directly struck.

According to the instructions, it seemed that you could also record your own heartbeat, so everyone crowded in front of the computer to search for the heartbeats left by previous visitors.

As a man, Aoyama Ryo would certainly not hang out with girls.

He stood at a distance, watching them.

"Let's leave our heartbeats behind, and listen to them again ten years later, how about that?"

"Can it be preserved for ten years?"

Will we still be around ten years from now?

"Sakura-senpai!"

Aoyama Ryo's gaze was fixed on Bess Sakurako.

The two weren't very close, but thanks to the photos he'd seen every night, he knew a lot about this senior's body.

I can't watch anymore. Hmm?
Just as he was about to look away, he saw a hint of loneliness on Bess Sakura's face.

At that moment, Akika was recording her own heartbeat, and everyone was gathered around her; the scene looked a bit like she was getting an injection.

Bess Sakura stood outside the crowd, smiling as she watched Agatsuma Akika, but then a look of melancholy flashed across her face.

--What's wrong?
Thinking back to the question, "Will we still be here ten years from now?", Aoyama imagined a terminal illness.

If such a situation appears on TV, people will complain that it's melodramatic. But if you think about it carefully, in real life, many people have heard of someone passing away at an age when they shouldn't have, due to illness, accidents, or other reasons.

Aoyama Rin, who has been an orphan since childhood, would never believe that it was impossible for a classmate to have a terminal illness.

Can the system save us?

Qingshan thought he should give it a try, after all, they were friends.

Besides, no one can guarantee that the Ono sisters and he himself will not encounter such a thing in the future, so it is always good to accumulate experience in advance.

Before that, let's find out what exactly happened with Bess Sakura.

After leaving the library, they cycled along the highway.

Every time I ride to a higher place, I see a different view. It's wonderful to stop and go as I please; it's an experience I'll never forget.

Hilltops, dry land, paddy fields, rivers, ponds, and scattered houses and shops.

Overall, 60 percent of the scenery consists of water, plants, and land, which is very attractive to Tokyoites.

With the distant sea in tow, Aoyama Riki almost forgot about Bess Sakurako.

Until a downhill road.

The downhill road leads straight to the sea, giving you the illusion of rushing into the ocean in one breath.

"Watch out!" Aoyama Risa shouted a warning.

Having experienced hardship themselves, the Ono sisters quickly reminded the other four.

From the beginning, everyone controlled their speed, keeping the bicycles at a level that would prevent them from falling downhill.

"Alas!!"

Except for Bess Sakurako.

She enjoyed the freshness of the countryside, riding her bicycle at high speed down the slope, shouting loudly.

"Sakurako! Watch out!"

"so envious!"

"Is Sakura-senpai such a good driver?"

Bess Sakurako, who hadn't gone far, shouted back, "Of course! Karuizawa is a famous cycling training base!"

Karuizawa shouldn't be that kind of place.

"I'll go check on them, you two be careful!" Aoyama Osamu instructed the Ono sisters. "Okay!" Ono Mizuki nodded.

"You be careful too!" Mika Ono warned.

Aoyama released the brakes, and the car immediately accelerated. In order to catch up with Bess Sakura, who was gradually moving away, he slammed on the brakes a few more times.

He slowly caught up with Bess Sakura.

Bess Sakura completely abandoned the brakes and charged forward relentlessly, giving Aoyama a subtle sense of foreboding.

It doesn't feel like they're enjoying a trip.

He continued to accelerate.

Bess Sakura stared blankly into the distance.

"Senior!" Aoyama Rika stood up.

[Talent: Slow Motion] is of no use at this time.

What should the system instruct us on to save Bess Sakura?

Speed? Medical skill?
If the wrong command is given, the system will control his body, leaving him to spend two hours in a daze, unable to save Bess Sakura at all.

By now.

—Green Mountain!
Aoyama Risa stomped his feet as hard as he could, as if he could go back to any time he wanted, as long as he was fast enough.

"Wow!"

Bess Sakura rushed out.

"Senior!!"

Aoyama Risa subconsciously used her [Talent: Slow Motion].

In mid-air, Bess Sakura slowly separated from the bicycle, and no matter how hard he rode, he couldn't catch up with her falling speed.

After the 'slow motion' ended, Aoyama Risa fell into a strange state.

He knew very well that if he didn't slow down, he would be swept away, but his feet continued to accelerate.

The mind did not give the order to stop.

—What is this? Is it triggering childhood trauma at a moment like this?
Aoyama Ryo conducted a self-examination.

His mother's death before his eyes ultimately left him with endless regrets.

—If only there had been a system back then.

The moment Aoyama Risa and his bicycle veered off the road, he immediately snapped back to reality.

If the road surface is below, he must use the system's self-protection mechanism;
If it were the ocean, depending on the altitude, he would choose to operate it himself to save Bess Sakura, or use the system to protect himself.

Below is a pond with a drop of less than two meters.

"Pfft!"

The pond was neither too deep nor too shallow, and Bess Sakura was able to step steadily on the bottom, revealing her shoulders.

"Are you alright?" Aoyama asked.

"fine."

"Senior, what's wrong?" he asked.

"The bicycle went out of control." Bess Sakura wiped the water from her face. "It scared me to death!"

“To be honest,” Aoyama said, looking at her.

"Is this the truth?" Bess Sakura asked, puzzled.

"I almost died trying to save you."

After a moment of silence, Bess Sakurako said, "You're annoying, Aoyama-kun."

“I thought there was a cliff below, or a road with a huge drop,” said Aoyama Risa.

With the system's capabilities, a fall of thirty meters—no, but at least twenty meters—shouldn't kill him, right?

However, on the other hand, Teshima is a tourist attraction, and there are no railings there, so it's impossible that there's a cliff or the sea below.

At that moment, he had no other thoughts on his mind except saving people.

“I’ll say as much as I can before they arrive,” Bess Sakurako said.

"Let's go up first," said Aoyama Risa.

Staying in a pond of unknown cleanliness is not friendly to women. Aoyama Osamu grew up with the Ono sisters, so even though she didn't have a girlfriend, she knew about this.

Bess Sakura got ashore, twisting her skirt as if she didn't care about exposing herself, while watching Aoyama Risa pull the two bicycles out of the water.

"After it dries, can we pretend there was no accident?" Bess Sakura asked, looking at the bicycle.

Aoyama glanced at her, then looked away, accidentally catching a glimpse of her light blue underwear.

"Unfortunately, this is an aid; you should be able to tell if it's soaked in water," he said.

"Technology is so inconvenient!"

"Stop changing the subject."

My family wants me to go on blind dates.

Aoyama looked at her again, but this time he was so shocked that he didn't pay attention to her lower body at all and just stared at her face.

"You're going to commit suicide over something so trivial?" he asked.

"Little things?"

“It was just a blind date!” Aoyama said. “Of course, it’s too early for you to go on blind dates at your age, but it’s just a blind date. If you don’t like it, you can just refuse. Why would you commit suicide?”

"It's with a diplomat who just passed the civil service exam this year; he's 25 years old."

Aoyama Ryo felt that it wouldn't hurt to meet him under these circumstances, but it would be even better if he didn't.

"No matter who the other person is, it's not a reason for you to commit suicide." He tried his best not to comment on the blind date itself.

"It's not quite right to call it a 'blind date.' My father wants me to get engaged directly, and my mother agrees. We'll get married when I turn eighteen in September."

"Is the other party very outstanding?" Aoyama asked.

“The minister’s youngest son,” Bess Sakurako replied.

It's definitely not right to say 'blind date'.

Getting engaged was an even bigger mistake.

Sakura's parents plan to "give" her away.

Aoyama Risa suddenly thought of something: Could it be that accompanying Aoi to practice cycling when she was a child was also an order from her parents?
"What's your relationship with Ai Mikami like?" Aoyama asked tentatively.

Bess Sakura gazed at the distant sea, a faint smile on her face.

“My parents often let me play with her. Thinking about it carefully, I realize that the reason they would set me up on blind dates is because I was disobedient. If I hadn’t been hiding in the Sunny Day band club at school and had spent every day with Jian Shang, we wouldn’t have gotten engaged so early.”

Whether it was because the two weren't particularly close, or because he already knew that 'not all parents love their children,' Aoyama Osamu remained calm about the matter.

"What do you plan to do? Continue with your suicide attempts?" he asked.

"No!" Bess Sakura patted her terribly wrinkled skirt. "I'll fight to the end!"

"Amazing!" Aoyama Ryo was relieved.

"So, Aoyama-kun, can I stay at your house after school starts? Your house is quite big."

Right?
Shouldn't he be the one saying, "My house is quite big"? How did it become a pretty girl saying it?
Are all romance novels lies?
“By the way,” Bess Sakura continued, “if possible, please share your extensive part-time experience with me. Without economic independence, there can be no real struggle!”

well said!
but.

To avoid trouble, Aoyama said, "Leave this to me; I might have a way."

"Having a child with me out of wedlock?"

They skipped the classic option of pretending to be a couple; romance novels are definitely all lies.

“I don’t know how well you know Ai, but I know her fairly well. She should be able to help,” said Aoyama Ryou.

"How well?" Bess Sakurako pressed.

How to answer this?

“You call each other every night, right?” Aoyama replied.

He wasn't lying; it was the truth. And because of Bess Sakura, he would call her tonight as well.

“‘Mi’ really is her,” Bess Sakurako said.

“No,” Aoyama Rido said. “Stop overthinking it, just enjoy your life, girl. Your problem isn’t a problem.”

"What if you can't help even if you meet them?"

"Then let's do as you say."

"Have children? Do you prefer a boy or a girl? One or two?"

"What I mean is, I'd like you to stay at our place, and I'll also introduce you to my old workplace!"

"What I mean is, I like you, Aoyama-kun."

"Thank you," Aoyama replied.

Bess Sakura laughed and said, "I was just joking to lighten the mood, don't take it seriously."

You'll scare me to death sooner or later.

[Aoyama Ryo: Greetings, Miss Kamiai, your 'I was just kidding' was indeed effective - Aoyama]
