Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 267 Thanks, Mr. Qingshan~
On August 7th, after the morning run, while having breakfast, everyone discussed the day's itinerary.

“I want to go to Nara to see the deer~” said Mizuki Ono.

“Go,” said Ai.

If she continues like this, Ono Mika might get jealous.

"So, shall we go to Nara today?" Ono Mizuki asked excitedly, looking at the others.

Mika Ono and Risa Aoyama need no introduction;
The Sunny Day Band doesn't care where they go, as long as they can get out of the house. They secretly gave Ono Mizuki a thumbs up.

Miyako Yaeko didn't care.

“I’ll stay at the hotel to practice my swordsmanship,” Elsa Tenyu said.

"Want to come along?" Aoyama Risa suddenly asked.

Everyone looked at him in confusion. Tianyu Elsa still had a competition at the end of August, and they were all too embarrassed to persuade her otherwise.

Why did Aoyama listen to the advice?

They then looked at Elsa, wondering if she would...
“Go,” said Elsa Tenyu.

If she continues like this, Ono Mika might get jealous—but that could be a good thing.

Although it might be a good thing, Aoyama still wanted to explain why he invited Elsa Amamiya.

"Tianyu is only a sophomore in high school, and he just won the Yulongqi championship this summer. So rather than winning the next competition, I prefer to take advantage of the summer vacation to travel more."

“That makes sense, Tianyu is also qualified for recommendation.” Akari Izama nodded in agreement.

After breakfast, the girls got ready to go out, and Aoyama Risa was at 'Starry Night' charging her phone.

He had power, even a fair amount, but he wanted to make sure his phone was fully charged before leaving the house.

He sat down to the side and read "Think and Grow Rich".

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" he asked without looking up, just as he saw in the book, "This secret has a unique feature: those who have obtained and used it have found that they can achieve rapid success with little effort and never fail again."

Do all these self-help books use eye-catching sentences like these?

"Aoyama-kun, are you free now?" It was Bess Sakurako.

Aoyama Ryo put down his book, turned off his phone, and walked towards the door.

"Is there something you need?" he asked as he opened the door.

Bass Sakura had a faint fragrance on her, I couldn't tell if it was from the shower gel or the sunscreen.

“I have something I’d like to ask you,” Bess Sakura said, looking at him.

"Ok?"

"Thanks to your help, my classmate solved my problem, and I want to thank her in person."

Aoyama Ritsu hesitated for a moment: "You want to be alone with her?"

"Yes."

Saying "thank you for your help" in front of everyone will pique the curiosity of those around you.

However, matters of blind dates cannot be discussed without reservation in any place.

Bess Sakura added, "Some things have to be said, otherwise it's like nodding or shaking your head on the phone, even though you might not care when you meet your classmates."

"But this event has changed your life after all?"

"Ah."

“I understand, I will help,” Aoyama replied.

After discussing it, the two finalized their plan.

Soon, the group set off.

Upon arriving in Nara, as soon as you exit the JR station, you'll see adorable cartoon deer on the information board.

After walking for a short while, Ono Mizuki exclaimed, "A deer!"

The girls were all amazed.

Aoyama Riya was also surprised.

A doe is resting in the green belt in the middle of the road.

"Over there!" Akika called out, holding up her phone.

Looking in the direction she pointed, another deer was wandering freely on the sidewalk.

The group walked to Xingfu Temple, encountering deer along the way.

Upon seeing the girls pass by, the more introverted deer lay down to rest in the woods, while the more lively ones came up to beg for food.

The girls themselves were like a flock of birds flying through the air, playing with each other, their figures light and graceful, attracting attention.

"So cute~" Ono Mizuki was completely captivated.

Girls can hardly resist this temptation.

However, there are exceptions. When Miyako Yaeko, Mikami Ai, and Aoyama Ri stood together, Aoyama Ri was not interested, and they probably thought it smelled bad.

The ground was covered in black particles, and there was excrement and urine everywhere.

It may also be due to their upbringing that they instinctively reject unknown objects from getting close to their bodies.

The girls bought deer crackers, intending to interact more closely with the deer, but disaster struck instead.

"Give it to me!!!"

"Don't bite me!"

"Drool! Drooling! You've licked my clothes!"

"My bag!"

"Don't bump into me, move away, move away, the one with horns is coming!"

Aoyama Ryo chased after him.

"Brother, save me!"

Aoyama Osamu took out his camera and captured the scene of Ono Mizuki calling for help.

The girls screamed and ran to Kofukuji Temple, then to Nara Park, and finally to Todaiji Temple.

The approach to Todai-ji Temple is a very popular shopping street, attracting a large number of tourists. Considering the scorching sun, the sheer number of people is truly staggering.

Various shops lined both sides of the road, including restaurants, dessert shops, souvenir shops, and so on.

Souvenir shops are the most popular among young girls.

They have all sorts of cute deer-shaped items.

After lingering here for a long time, Aoyama Risa felt as if he were browsing a bookstore in Kyoto.

Unfortunately, in such an environment, even if Bess Sakurako could be alone with Mikami Ai, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to express her gratitude.

The opportunity came quickly.

Tired from shopping—mainly because of the heat—the group decided to rest at an ice cream shop.

There were quite a few customers in the store, and only two or three seats were empty.

Even if there is no one in the store, a table can only seat a maximum of six people, so the ten of them will have to separate no matter what.

"A four-seater is available!" the clerk called out.

"Sister Meihua, Meiyue, you two hurry up and go!" said Aoyama Risa.

The Ono sisters looked at everyone apologetically; everyone was exhausted.

They were about to defer to each other.

"If we don't go now, someone will snatch it away!" Aoyama Risa pushed the two of them forward.

After the two men sat down, he returned and said to the remaining people, "I've already taken two seats, so I won't sit here myself. The rest are for you."

It was still early, and the four-member band certainly didn't want to separate, so they decided to wait a little longer.

Neither Miyako nor Mikami Ai moved.

"Tenyu-kun, you go ahead," Aoyama Riki said.

Elsa Tianyu nodded.

"President?" Aoyama Risa looked at Miyako Yaeko.

Miyako walked over.

Aoyama had already spoken to her, and he thought she would offer a deal, such as having coffee together after returning to Tokyo, but she agreed immediately.

Four people left, leaving only Aoyama Rika, a young lady, and four band girls.

There was little to say among the six of them.

Just like when a girlfriend goes to the bathroom, the silence between the boyfriend visiting her parents for the first time and the girlfriend's parents engulfs all six people.

But not everyone felt awkward. Jian Shangai remained silent as if it were perfectly natural, as if the others were taxi drivers and she was a passenger, and that silence was her right.

"Three-seater!" the clerk called out again.

“Sister Meihua and Sister Meiyue were the first, so I’ll be the last,” Aoyama Risa said.

The four members of the Sunny Day Band looked at each other in bewilderment.

Bess Sakura said, "You guys go ahead."

"Sakurako, since you've said that, you, Aoyama-kun, and Kenjo-kun should go and sit down first!" Akika Gasai said.

“Yes!” Drummer Mengshi agreed.

F. Rino nodded repeatedly from the side.

Thus, Aoyama Rika, Mikami Ai, and Bess Sakura finally found a chance to be alone, separated from the others by the bustling crowd.

"What do you want to eat?" Aoyama Ryo asked, flipping through the colorful menu.

“Matcha,” said Ai. “Of course Sakurako eats cherry blossom flavor,” said Bess Sakurako.

Aoyama ordered the original flavor.

After ordering, he smiled and said, "It's supposed to be Hokkaido milk. I'm meeting a classmate. You can try it later and see if it's real."

"Four-seater!" the clerk suddenly called out.

Bess Sakura glanced in that direction, then quickly stood up, clutching her bag and phone.

"See you later, classmate. Thank you for your help! I'm going over there!" She left.

she left.

She's gone!
Seeing Ai looking at the dumbfounded Aoyama Ryo, she smiled slightly.

Aoyama Risa snapped out of her daze and said to Mikami Ai, "She—"

“I know,” said Aoi.

—Bess Sakurako, this girl has way too many problems!

The ice cream, served in stemmed glasses, was brought over, and the two ate it silently with spoons. The cherry blossom flavor had already been sent to the table of the four-member band.

"Not bad either." After taking a few bites of the ice, Aoyama Rie calmed down. "I also have something I wanted to ask you."

"Relationship counseling?"

"No, life counseling."

"You're starting to lose your hair?" Jian Ai looked at his bangs.

"I'm only sixteen!"

"You seem to really like my hair? Do you want some of my hair cut off to make a wig?"

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have beat around the bush about age—I’m not losing my hair,” Aoyama Rido said.

“I gave my permission,” said Ai.

"I don't know if you'd allow my hair to leave me, or if you'd allow me to use your hair to make a wig, but I don't need either!"

"Is there anything else?" Jian Shang Ai asked, her bright black eyes fixed on Aoyama Rin as she ate her fresh green matcha ice cream.

“You have this kind of trouble too,” Aoyama Osamu carefully chose her words, “As a beautiful girl, how do you tell whether someone likes you because of your appearance or because of who you are?”

"Are you a beautiful girl too?" See above for more information.

"I concede defeat, can we call a ceasefire?"

"The war between monogamy and polygamy is like the war between the sun and the earth: either the sun will burn the earth dry, or the earth will get rid of the sun."

"No matter how you look at it, Earth is doomed."

“I am the sun,” said Ai.

In terms of temperament, Elsa Tenyu, with her blonde hair, is more like the sun, while Ai Mikami is like a crystal icicle beneath the deep snow of the Arctic.

“Miyashi’s grandfather also had two wives,” the Earth boy said.

"I transferred to Kaiming School to deal with Yaeko," said the Sun Girl.

"You said that your friend's father in Kamikawa also had four wives."

"That's why I led his daughter astray."

"."

—People of Earth, raise your hands and pass on your energy to me. We must not let the sun destroy the Earth!
“Men who practice polygamy deserve to die,” said Ai Kan.

Whether it was Aoyama Osamu's imagination or not, she felt as if the vital energy from the creatures of Earth was drifting toward her.

“Let’s not talk about marriage for now, okay?” Aoyama Rie said.

"What did you say?"

"Let's not talk about marriage."

“At the beginning,” Ai said.

Like one afternoon when a strange phone call comes in.

"Who is it?!" You're in a bad mood.

"Is this so-and-so?" The other party's attitude was extremely cold, and they might hang up the phone in the next second. "The person who ranked first in the interview failed the background check and is scheduled to come for a physical examination tomorrow."

"Oh, okay! Okay, okay!" you reply.

“Oh, okay, okay!” Aoyama replied.

He repeated the question: "As a beautiful young woman, how do you tell if someone likes you because of your appearance or because of who you are?"

“Everyone likes me,” said Ai.

"Let's just say that."

"Since everyone likes me, all I need to do is choose the ones I like from among them."

As expected of someone who has no worries, Jian Shang Ai's thoughts and actions are both decisive and efficient.

Choose what you like; what others like about you is their business.

Aoyama Ryo decided to learn from her and stop obsessing over becoming more attractive. According to Akimi's logic, the more attractive you are, the only problem you have: more choices.

"Thank you, Kenshin-kun." Aoyama Rika's tone was as if he were thanking God.

She cured his mental anguish.

"Thank you, just like me, for supporting monogamy." Seeing that Shang Ai was giving him a cold look, he clearly had no hope.

"I'm sorry." Aoyama Risa didn't disappoint her.

“However,” there was something he had to clarify, “I am neither a supporter of polygamy nor an opponent of monogamy; I am a proponent of happiness.”

She saw that Shang Ai was staring at him.

Aoyama Riki gazed at her earnestly.

“That’s fine,” she said.

"That's fine?"

"Life has too few troubles. I'll take this opportunity to have a headache and experience the taste of life."

This person is terrifying.

In her eyes, there are probably only two states: 'winning' and 'preparing to win'. Even if she hasn't won yet, she will definitely win in the future.

“I will definitely correct you, Aoyama-kun,” Ai Mikami said.

“I’m afraid that’s difficult. If you want to correct me, you first have to make me realize that I’m wrong, but I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong,” Aoyama replied.

"That's what makes it fun. If it were as easy as an exam, I would be disappointed."

Well.
Aoyama Rin lacks confidence; correcting himself will be harder than taking the exam.

What should I do? Will it really be corrected? Aoyama Risa has enough confidence in himself, but the other person is the top student in the grade!

If one day she suddenly flew out during class and caught a plane falling from the sky, her classmates would say, "No wonder she's number one in the grade!"

—It's okay, Aoyama, don't be afraid!
Everyone has their own expertise; perhaps being in love with someone is just a matter of being born into a good family and being good at learning!

After leaving the ice cream shop, the group continued on their way, and indeed, there were deer everywhere they went.

These guys all act like they own the place, free-spirited and lazing around, taking their poop wherever they want.

Aoyama Risa sought an opportunity to be alone with Bess Sakura, but Bess Sakura didn't give him any chance.

What's the difference between this and winning and running away?!

After visiting Todai-ji Temple, a short stroll of about ten minutes will take you to Kasuga Taisha Shrine.

After passing the red torii gate, you'll find yourself on a winding, secluded path leading to the temple.

With so many tall trees, it felt somewhat dim even in broad daylight, and time seemed to slow down as you walked through it.

Among the ancient trees are stone lanterns covered in moss, most of which are said to be hundreds of years old.

Finally, at the Kasuga Taisha Shrine, where people were praying for blessings, Aoyama Osamu caught up with Bess Sakurako, who was engrossed in writing her prayers and had gotten lost.

"Why did you run away?" he asked in a low voice.

Bess Sakura was startled.

"Don't you dare run away!" Aoyama warned her.

“Instead of apologizing, I think finding an opportunity for you, Aoyama-kun, to be alone with Mikami-kun would be a better way to repay him,” Bess Sakurako said.

"You lied to me about helping you, and then you took advantage of me?"

"I'm sorry, please forgive me." Bess Sakurako held up a prayer plaque shaped like a deer's head.

It was written in black ink: I hope Mr. Aoyama's wish will be fulfilled.

There was nothing I could do but forgive her.

but.

"Why do you think that letting me be alone with my classmate is a better way to repay him?" Aoyama asked, puzzled.

"Isn't it obvious?" Bess Sakurako also looked puzzled. "Kami-kun likes you just as much as I do."

".real?"

"I was just kidding!" Bess Sakurako laughed. "Anyway, thanks, Aoyama-kun~"

She grabbed the prayer plaque and ran away quickly!

According to Ai's logic, "I was just kidding" isn't really a joke, so, did Bess Sakura confess to him again?

Aoyama Rima truly, truly, truly admired her. When he confessed his feelings for her for the second time, he was so scared he almost died.

If love were something that could be rewarded through suffering, that would be wonderful; he's an expert at that.
