Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 269 has problems!

“Come out with me tonight.” Miyako sent herself a copy of “The Girl Who Rules the World”—it included her and Ai Mikami’s email addresses.

"Go out? Where to?" Aoyama Rin didn't understand why this was suddenly brought up.

"let me see."

"Wait, why do we need to go outside? It's just the two of us."

“Because you lied to me.” Miyako Yaeko looked at him.

"I've already explained, I was also deceived, yes."

"That's your problem. All I know is that you've deceived me, and I'm only going to talk to you."

"Where to?" Aoyama asked again.

In short, let's hear about the destination first.

"Take the Eizan Electric Railway to enjoy the autumn leaves at night. We'll take it to Ninose Station and then back. It's that simple."

"Just the two of us?"

Listen to the number of people again.

“You and Aoi are two different people. What’s the difference between your behavior and a date?” Miyako Yaeko said coldly.

".What time is it?"

Finally, I'd like to inquire about the time.

"The last bus back is at midnight," said Miyako Yaeko.

"So, we need to arrive at Ninose Station before noon?" Aoyama took out his phone and checked the timetable.

To be more specific, the last train departs at 23:59.

This is because the 'Maple Leaf Tunnel Lighting Event' is held during the summer vacation, so the last bus usually runs much earlier.

“That’s fine,” said Aoyama Risa.

“Unless there are special circumstances, I’ll see Ai go to sleep at 10:30, and we’ll meet up then,” said Miyako Yaeko.

"Look, the senior student is here!"

The two turned their heads and thought they saw Shang Ai eavesdropping as before.

It turned out to be Ono Mizuki, and only she. She walked into the living room talking to herself and gesturing wildly.

They were practicing their lines.

Aoyama Risa did not intend to tell the Ono sisters about this, nor did she want anyone else to know.

It wasn't because he was planning to do something bad with Miyako Yaeko.

Quite the opposite.

He wanted to end things with her.

If it can turn their relationship into that of ordinary friends, then sneaking out late at night like this is worthwhile.

Saying it out loud could easily cause misunderstandings.

The daytime passed quickly, and after dinner, the Sunny Day Band went out for an outdoor performance. Aoyama Risa was in charge of filming, moving things, and security.

We returned to the hotel at 9:30. Since everyone has been getting up early for morning exercise lately, they all went to bed early, which gave Aoyama Risa the opportunity to go out.

At 10:30, he walked out of "Starry Sky" cautiously.

Wearing outdoor clothes at this time of day is not necessarily wrong, but it does arouse suspicion. It's like washing your hair in the open in the rain; it might be a spur-of-the-moment thing, but if people suspect you're mentally ill, you can't blame them.

Miyako Yaeko also happened to walk out of 'Seiran'.

"You weren't discovered, were you?" he asked softly.

"How long do you think I've been sleeping with her?" Miyako Yaeko also lowered her voice.

"I've heard that there are a lot of... you know... things at girls' colleges, is that true?" Aoyama asked curiously.

Did you start dating in elementary or middle school?

"I don't have any, but people are talking about it."

“Let’s talk outside.” Miyako Yaeko walked toward the door.

Aoyama Ryo followed closely behind.

Miyako hadn't taken more than a few steps when she was suddenly grabbed by Aoyama Risa. Before she could speak, Aoyama Risa covered her mouth.

The two looked at each other, and Aoyama Risa's expression was tense.

He hinted to Miyako Yaeko not to speak or panic, but found that she was surprisingly calm and even looked at him with interest.

Footsteps approached, and Elsa Tenyu entered the living room.

The two hid tightly in the corner.

Fortunately, this is a Japanese-style hotel with many corridors, so there are quite a few blind spots.

Tianyu Elsa was wearing a vest and shorts, which made her look very tall, with amazingly long legs.

She took a bamboo sword and walked towards the courtyard.

A moment later, the whooshing sound of swords echoed.

Miyako pointed towards the inn's main entrance: {Let's sneak away.}
Aoyama immediately shook his head: {No way!}
Miyako Yaeko was puzzled.

Aoyama Ryo gestured for a moment, and Miyako Yaeko, being quick-witted, immediately understood what he meant: {Don't underestimate the vigilance of a master swordsman.}
"What should we do then?" she asked.

Aoyama Risa cautiously peeked out and looked at Tenyu Elsa in the yard.

With her blonde hair pulled back, the girl focused intently as she wielded her bamboo sword.

It appears she's not wearing a bra; her movements are surprisingly large, and she's quite heavy.

He pulled his head back: {It shouldn't be too long.}
"How did you know?" asked Miyako Yaeko.

Aoyama Risa claimed to be the champion of the Jade Dragon Flag and that no one understood kendo better than him.

Sure enough, Elsa Amayu quickly finished her training; her main purpose seemed to be simply to get a bottle of water.

For her, practicing swordsmanship was as natural as using her phone while going to the toilet.

After Elsa left, the two seized the opportunity and slipped out of the hotel.

Perhaps because of the tension, the outdoor air smelled exceptionally fresh.

"Hurry up, or we'll be too late!" said Aoyama Risa.

"If we can't make it today, we'll do it tomorrow." Before Miyako could finish speaking, he grabbed her and started running.

Miyako smiled and let him drag her along.

At the last moment, the two rushed into the Eizan Electric Railway, which was about to close.

Aoyama Ryo finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he got on this train, he would definitely be able to catch the last train back home.

When he came to his senses, he realized that Miyako had one hand on his shoulder, her forehead against his back, and she was breathing softly.

I instinctively wanted to move aside, but I held back.

Aoyama looked around and saw that there were only three passengers in the car.

The two girls sat in front of the car, their heads very close together, as if they were eating a cookie;
There was one man left, who looked like someone who had suddenly decided to go out at night on a whim.

Upon seeing the two people, all three were stunned.

Their expressions seemed to say: Are we filming a TV series?
"Please sit down first," said Aoyama Riki.

He helped Miyako Yaeko to sit down in the nearest seat.

“Go to the next section,” Miyako Yaeko suddenly said.

The train had two carriages. The two of them walked to the back carriage, but there was no one inside.

The tram had already started moving, swaying and rocking. Miyako looked exhausted, and Aoyama could only support her.

—Why does it feel like our relationship has gotten closer?

It gives the impression that teenagers have secretly sneaked out to play.

After sitting down, Aoyama glanced at his phone, just in case the Ono sisters suddenly contacted him.

No news.

This is the best news.

He put away his phone and looked at Miyako Yaeko. The young lady, who had been unable to walk just moments before, was now holding her phone and tidying herself up.

He said, "You"

Seeing that Aoyama Rika was looking over, she pressed the shutter button.

He said, "You!"

"What if I accidentally post this photo in the group chat?" Miyako Yaeko said with a smile.

She seemed to be having a conversation, like the two of them skipping class together, and she was saying, "What if the teacher calls roll?"

What else could Aoyama Ryo do?
"Don't send it!" he said.

Miyako smiled and put away her phone.

A flash of light appeared before her eyes, and Aoyama suddenly noticed that she was wearing exquisite and charming earrings. Looking further down, she also noticed that her clothes were very elegant and sophisticated.

The rose-trimmed collar accentuated her swan-like, snow-white neck, enough to whet the appetite even in someone who wasn't a vampire.

Did she dress up a little for tonight?
No.

Aoyama recalled seeing Yaeko Miyayo in Fukuoka; she was dressed exceptionally elegantly at the time.

For a young lady of high birth, dressing elegantly and paying attention to her demeanor is just part of her daily routine.

Even if I dressed up specially for tonight, it was out of habit that I need to pay attention to my appearance when going out with others, and it had nothing to do with "tonight".

The tram swayed forward, traveling along the road, and the city lights exploded on the windows like fireworks, one after another.

"Isn't safety a concern?" Aoyama asked.

"Guess why there are so few people on the bus?" Miyako Yaeko asked with a smile.

As the two sat closer, Aoyama Risa felt herself entering the range of her captivating charm.

"Your family's power is so great that they can influence passenger flow at the station at will?" He looked out the window.

The lights outside the window are pretty, but not that pretty; he can handle it.

“What I mean is, I deliberately chose a time when there were fewer people.” Miyako Yaeko lifted her skirt and crossed her left leg over her right.

She was wearing a long black dress with two layers of pleats, the hem of which was wide enough to hide a person.

Aoyama wanted to sit further away, but he was afraid it would be too deliberate. "Including the train conductor, there are four people in total. You won't be able to handle it, will you?" Miyako Yaeko said with a smile.

“Even if there are five people, I’m fine,” Aoyama Rido said.

"You're even hitting me?"

"Let's see if you'll make a move."

"So you were protecting yourself." Miyako Yaeko smiled and leaned back in her chair.

She crossed her arms and legs, a slight smile on her beautiful face, her eyes gazing out the window.

After leaving the city, it was pitch black outside the window. Once in the mountains, apart from the occasional flash of streetlights, it was completely dark.

It felt like we had sailed into the seabed.

The train conductor and the other three tourists seemed to have disappeared, leaving only him and Yaeko Miyase in the world.

A novel experience.

"The train is about to arrive at Ichihara Station. The lights inside the train will be turned off at that time. Please do not panic," the train conductor suddenly announced.

"Does the Maple Leaf Tunnel start from Ichihara Station?" Miyako Yaeko tilted her head slightly, asking Aoyama Osamu as if she were asking a butler.

"Ah."

A maple leaf tunnel is a tunnel formed by green maple leaves above the road surface and railway tracks.

The tunnel with green maple leaves runs from Ichihara Station to Ninose Station.

A minute later, the train conductor made another announcement, and then the tram began to slow down, followed by the lights going out.

Darkness suddenly rushed in, engulfing the carriage.

Aoyama Ryo subconsciously looked at Miyako Yaeko. Having grown up with the Ono sisters, he had developed a habit of worrying that girls were afraid of the dark.

Miyako Yaeko remained calm, as if nothing had happened, and continued to look out the window.

It possesses a noble beauty.

Lights appeared ahead, and soon the slowly moving tram entered the Maple Leaf Tunnel.

The lush green maple leaves in summer, illuminated by the ground lights, resemble pieces of slightly translucent green jade.

Maple leaves clung to the car windows, making it feel as if we were driving into a sea of ​​maple leaves.

For the first time, Aoyama Ryo felt that the scenery outside the car window was almost as beautiful as Miyako Yaeko.

The maple leaf tunnel is simply breathtaking.

But that wasn't Aoyama's original intention.

"Have you heard about what happened to me?" he asked.

“I want two girlfriends,” said Yaeko Miyagi.

“Yes.” Aoyama Ryo did not deny it.

He didn't say anything more, believing that Miyako Yaeko understood what he meant.

The two got off at Ninose Station.

Ninose stands in the mountains, simple and unassuming, like a bus stop.

There's a wooden house across the street; I don't know what it's for.

They were the only ones who got off the bus. Where did the other three go? Did they get off midway? Or did they go to the final stop?

"Don't you like taking pictures? Take a picture of me." Miyako Yaeko stood at the edge of the platform and posed.

Very aristocratic, very elegant.

She had never allowed anyone to take her picture during previous group activities.

Aoyama Risa took a picture of her with his own phone.

After taking the photo, just in case, he said, "You should understand what I mean, right?"

“I understood,” Miyako Yaeko said, examining the photos, “but I didn’t really listen.”

"."

After thinking for a moment, Qingshan said seriously, "Gongshi, your feelings for me are because of the time I saved you when you were seven years old. But if you like someone because of that, it's just like a flower that has been deceived by the warm sun of early spring and has bloomed."

"Spring hasn't come yet?" asked Miyako Yaeko.

"Yes, there's still a cold snap in spring, and it might even snow." Aoyama Ryou nodded.

“You’re quite good at using metaphors.” Miyako Yaeko laughed. “Alright, from today onwards, forget about that matter.”

"You should have forgotten about it long ago."

"Is our relationship no longer one of rescuer and rescued?"

"No."

"That's wonderful." Miyako Yaeko smiled, and upon closer inspection, it seemed that she had also applied something to her lips, making them look alluring.

He didn't know when he developed the habit, but seeing her smile made Aoyama Riki uneasy.

"What do you think is good?" he asked.

"From now on, any relationship between us is unrelated to the past. I will not mention it again, and you are not allowed to say it either."

It seems so, but it also seems not.

"Can you really completely get rid of the influence of the past?" Aoyama Ryou asked to confirm further.

"Do you really think I would fall in love with someone just because they saved me?" Miyako Yaeko retorted.

Aoyama asked, puzzled, "Then what is your reason for wanting to be with me?"

"A sense of security," the young woman replied.

"Isn't this because I saved you?" Aoyama Riku was even more confused.

“Let me ask you,” Miyako Yaeko tilted her head slightly, smiling as she looked directly at him, “what would you do if you lost your savings and your house right now?”

"I'll go back to my old house and continue doing part-time work," said Aoyama Risa.

Even if he lost his savings and house, or even the system itself, he wouldn't feel like his life had suffered a major blow and would contemplate suicide.

Although it's dilapidated, I own a house and have no debts;

The Ono sisters were also there, and he himself was physically healthy and skilled in various part-time jobs.

By working part-time while studying diligently, as long as luck isn't too bad, one can still live a relatively comfortable life in the future.

His resilience is due not only to the influence of his past life memories, his difficult experiences in this life, and his part-time job, but also to the system's contribution.

Of all the guidance in the system, the most important is: Diligence is the key to success; without effort, nothing can be gained.

No system is needed; as long as one works hard as guided by the system, Aoyama Ryo believes that in the eyes of others, his life will still seem like he's "cheating."

“This is the sense of security I’m talking about,” said Miyako Yaeko.

"What?" Aoyama Rin didn't quite understand.

"Compared to force, wealth, and ambition, a heart that is not afraid to start over gives me a greater sense of security." Miyako Yaeko turned to look at the other side of the railway.

The wooden houses on the opposite platform, surrounded by green maple leaves and bathed in bright yellow light, look like elf cabins.

“I’ve been following you,” she said. “You’ve also been rejected, had your salary maliciously withheld, been bullied by your seniors, and sometimes been suddenly fired.”

She continued, "Do you remember? The summer before last, you were working part-time at a restaurant. It was an afternoon after the lunch rush, and you were washing a big basin of dishes outside."

“I was sitting in the coffee shop across the street and I saw the manager come out and give you a good scolding.”

Aoyama Riya remembered.

At that time, he had just started doing part-time work and was not very skilled. He served the wrong dishes twice at noon.

“However,” Miyako Yaeko gracefully turned around and looked at Aoyama Risa sitting on the bench, “the shop needed manpower during the New Year and contacted you immediately to ask you to come and help.”

Because from that day on, Aoyama Risa was never scolded again.

Every day of his part-time job, he worked diligently and soon became capable of doing the work of two or three people.

Even on the day he was scolded, he didn't put his feet on the ground the entire time.

He, a middle school student pretending to be a high school student, should be grateful that he can get a part-time job with the store manager turning a blind eye.

Of course, we won't easily give up any opportunity.

"Is that why you like me?" Aoyama asked.

Miyako smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Down-to-earth, hardworking, responsible, not afraid of hardship, handsome, and has a bit of a sense of humor."

Aoyama Risa himself had nothing more to say.

It's perfectly reasonable to like someone like that.

“But, Aoyama,” Miyako Yaeko suddenly said, “I like you, and that has nothing to do with any of this.”

Aoyama looked at her, puzzled.

“I just like you.” Miyako smiled brightly. “No matter what you do or what you want to do, it won’t affect this.”

The tram arrived at that moment.

As she boarded the train, Miyako Yaeko said, "Don't even think about marrying the twin sisters, you're mine."

—I won't lose either!

With the feeling of stepping into the ring, Aoyama Riki entered the train carriage.

"By the way, how long have you been observing me?" he asked, as if remembering something.

"Starting at age seven."

"."

"Are you trying to say I'm a stalker?"

"Isn't it?"

"This is love, can you feel it?"

Aoyama deliberately kept his distance from her. Miyako moved closer, and he continued to move away, but she moved closer again.

Finally, she cornered him.

“If you dare to leave, I’ll post our group photo in the group chat,” said Miyako Yaeko.

Aoyama could only shrink into a corner.

This girl also has a serious problem!
And that's the biggest problem!
