Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 279 A Young Man's Unwavering Heart
The Ono sisters weren't angry.

If they're really angry, they'll just go to sleep without leaving a light on for Aoyama Riki.

She didn't get angry when she saw Shang Ai—though it didn't matter whether she was angry or not.

The evidence is that she has confirmed the practice times of all the major clubs—they are all preparing for the cultural festival, and she invited him to go with her to collect materials as evaluation criteria.

Miyako Yaeko wasn't angry—it didn't matter to her whether she was angry or not.

The evidence is that he received a late-night phone call asking him to help out at the student union when he had time, because he had previous experience in preparing large-scale programs.

"It's just moving steel frames, timber, and props," Aoyama replied.

“The school is missing someone like you,” said Miyako Yaeko.

"Aren't sports clubs allowed?"

"Working part-time on construction sites allows you to exercise and earn money at the same time, but how many fitness enthusiasts are willing to do it? They would rather spend money at the gym than earn money on a construction site."

"I get paid?" Aoyama Ryo sensed this possibility.

Seeing that Ai still gave the cookies to Ono Mizuki and sponsored a large firework, it was impossible for her to get the 200,000 yen she had.

"You're guaranteed a university recommendation spot. You have experience, you have free time, and we have a connection. You're the best candidate."

“Going to university has never been my goal; for me, studying is just a way to make money.”

"Ten thousand a day."

"make a deal!"

"Starting from the 15th, meet at the Student Union at 9:30 am on weekdays."

The 13th and 14th were Saturday and Sunday. The three sisters, Aoyama Rika, Ono, and Aoyama, selected photos, printed photos, went grocery shopping together, cooked together, and studied together.

"Can travel really help people grow?" On the night of the 14th, the three of them sat on the veranda eating watermelon. Ono Mizuki asked this question while picking at the black seeds on the watermelon flesh with her fingers.

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Mika Ono asked.

"Pfft!" Aoyama Risa spat out the seeds.

"I feel like I haven't grown at all. When I'm studying, all I think about is going out to play. To put it simply, I've not only not improved, but I've actually regressed," said Mizuki Ono.

"Enduring hardship, suffering, and studying are the three things that help you learn from experience," said Aoyama Ryūdō.

"Then is there no point in traveling?"

"How could it be meaningless? It's all about happiness!" Aoyama Risa laughed. "The promotion for 'The Girl Who Rules the World' has already begun, and it will be released on September 1st. By then, what's the point of suffering? What's the point of studying? You two will be happy for the rest of your lives!"

"Oh dear, I don't want to become such a superficial person!" Ono Mizuki even started swaying. "I want to become a cultured, highly educated, and wealthy person~"

Mika Ono laughed and said, "I hope the royalties will be as high as those for 'Detective A'."

“Even if it’s not that much, it won’t be less. Sis, be prepared, the bank will keep calling you,” Aoyama Rika said with a smile.

Ono Mika is troubled.

She suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Does your family have a bank?"

“It would be unreasonable for her family to not own a bank, since they only have money.”

"Then let's keep it in her family's bank!" Ono Mika said firmly, taking a bite of watermelon.

"It's great to meet my senior," Ono Mizuki agreed. "But the best one is my brother, I love him, here you go~"

She gave up her watermelon so that Aoyama could take a bite.

To be honest, if she really wanted to reward Aoyama Rin, she should have given him the leftover watermelon.

—Koito, thank you.

Aoyama Ryo took a bite of the watermelon and imagined there was a machine inside his body, with watermelon juice acting like lubricant on the machine's gears.

This piece of melon is for the system.

"Are the roles being assigned in the drama club tomorrow?" Ono Mika asked Mizuki.

"Hmm~"

"Can you get the female lead role?" Aoyama asked with a smile.

"It's ok!"

"They've already given up?"

"You've come to terms with it!" Ono Mizuki glared at him.

"Are you going to school to practice tomorrow too?" Aoyama looked at Ono Mika, and continued looking at Ono Mizuki. He couldn't help but pull her into his arms and rub her cheeks, kissing her wildly. He might accidentally stick out his tongue.

I haven't brushed my teeth and I'm eating; that's not very hygienic.

Ono Mika nodded, spat the seeds into her palm, and said, "The program that wins first place in this cultural festival, if it also ranks in the top fifty in academics before the end of the second semester, will receive two recommendations from the school—Akika really wants one."

“First, it’s very difficult,” said Aoyama Rido.

"Our drama club will definitely be number one!" Mizuki Ono said, then spat out a black seed.

"If I deposit the money in the Gong family's bank, is it possible to get in through the back door?" Aoyama Ryo pondered.

"No way!" the two sisters rejected in unison.

"You guys really like meeting people who are in love? I never would have guessed."

“Because that’s not true at all,” Mika Ono said.

Mizuki Ono wanted to say something, but in the end, she chose to continue eating watermelon.

After finishing her melon, Ono Mizuki went to take a shower.

She hummed a song as Aoyama watched her walk into the bathroom, while Ono Mika smiled at him.

As soon as Ono Mizuki disappeared, Aoyama Risa immediately whispered, "Mika-nee, on the 12th, I hugged Mizuki for a long time."

Whatever can be done to Mizuki, can be done to Mika—that's the promise of the Mika Ono fan club.

Mika Ono didn't say anything or do anything.

Aoyama sat down next to her, slowly placed his hand on her shoulder, and after confirming that she had no objections, gently pulled her into his arms.

August 14th, which is the 17th day of the lunar calendar. The moon is fullest on the 16th if it is full on the 15th, and it is just as full on the 17th.

The moonlight was bright, and the courtyard looked as if it were covered with a layer of fine snow.

Aoyama Ryo did nothing but hug him.

Late at night, Aoyama Risa sat at his desk, working on a set of exercises.

Recommendation qualification? He doesn't even trust the system and is prepared to lose it at any time, so why would he place his hopes on Miyako Yaeko?

The system is itself!

hum~
I picked up my phone; it was a message from Mika Ono.

[Mika Ono: I thought you were going to do something really bad to me.]

[Aoyama Rika: Huh? Is that okay?!]

[Mika Ono: Of course not!]

[Mika Ono: But if you act cute and give me a face-to-face hug, that should be okay.]

[Aoyama Osamu: Is it too late to act cute now?]

[Mika Ono: Too late!]

[Ono Mika: But you know yourself, if I just beg you, I'll agree to this, right?]

Aoyama Ryo did indeed know.

But they didn't do that.

He pressed the talk button and sent a voice message.

“Sister Meihua, I think that since my goal is to be with both of you, I don’t want to be unable to answer or have to lie when Meiyue asks me later, ‘How far have you and my sister gone?’”

Ono Mika listened to those words twice, then held her phone close to her chest.

Aoyama Risa did not see Mizuki as a means to win her over. In his heart, he may have loved the two sisters more or less, but he treated them equally.

Ono Mika closed her eyes. On August 15th, the three of them went to Kaiming High School together.

"It's so hot," Mizuki Ono said, tugging at her shirt collar.

"Mika-nee, how about you go take your driving test? Buy a car, and leave the school parking space to me." Aoyama Riya was sweating profusely from the heat.

“That’s right, with a car, we can go on road trips!” Mizuki Ono’s attention immediately shifted away from the heat.

“Going on trips is definitely not good. Now all you think about is going out to play,” Mika Ono said. “Remember, if your grades drop, you won’t be allowed to go out during the upcoming winter break or any subsequent holidays.”

Yesterday, Aoyama Rie did some research and found that some children who frequently go out to play are indeed more likely to get bored than children who don't go out much.

Ono Mizuki didn't say anything.

No matter how much you enjoy playing, it shouldn't affect your grades.

The three of them walked into the campus.

There were quite a few people at the school. They usually arrive at school early, so the flow of people at this time was almost the same as when they were in school.

I changed my shoes at the shoe cabinet.

Before this, the scene in front of me was just a classmate changing shoes, but now it feels a bit like a high school girl changing shoes.

It's become ambiguous.

—Meihua's time in her school uniform is running out; we must do something before she takes it off.

Aoyama Ryo began to think about himself.

On the second floor of the club building, Ono Mizuki parted ways with them, and on the third floor, Ono Mika also waved goodbye to Aoyama Osamu.

With his hands in his pockets, Aoyama Risa walked alone up the steps to the sixth floor.

Passing the student council, he continued on, intending to leave his backpack at the Athens Philosophy Research Department—the backpack contained a workbook and a book titled "How to Completely Waste a Summer Vacation."

However, before opening the door to the activity room, please allow him to express his feelings and open his heart at this moment.

Let's pretend we've entered the commentary time of "JoJo" (even though the time stop is only five seconds, several minutes have already passed just by the commentary).

I like the Athens Philosophy Research Department.

that's all.

Aoyama Risa opened the door to the clubroom, and a blast of cold air hit him. He quickly slipped inside and closed the door.

Once the cold air had completely enveloped him, he looked up and saw Shang Ai covering her neckline, holding down her skirt, and looking at him warily.

"My actions look like I'm about to commit a crime?" Aoyama asked, puzzled.

"Your actions are clearly preparing to commit a crime." See the explanation on Aizhihu.

"I think you're more like preparing to commit a crime."

"Oh?" Seeing that Shang Ai's tone made it seem as if she were a judge.

“In this kind of weather, what’s the difference between planning to go out and observe other gangs and committing murder?” Aoyama said.

Seeing that Shang Ai looked at him with surprise, she said, "Aren't you not afraid of hardship?"

“You seem to have some misunderstanding about me.” Aoyama Risa pulled out a chair and sat down. “I charge for my suffering: knowledge, money, and happiness.”

"So you're perfectly normal." She looked at him as if she were meeting him for the first time.

"It seems you have indeed misunderstood me."

"There's one more thing, and perhaps I've misunderstood you. Let me explain now—on the 11th, when everyone was choosing yukatas for you, you said you looked good in any of them. I think you were implying that you wanted to marry everyone, right?"

"I think you're not just misunderstanding me, you're actually being malicious towards me!"

"Malice? I don't have that kind of thing. I've already said, I only have money." The girl also possessed beauty and a venomous tongue as sharp as a box jellyfish.

"Let's get back to the yukata thing. I think even if we give yukatas a meaning, it represents a certain kind of lifestyle, right? Why do you see me as a pervert?"

"Don't you want to marry everyone?" See above for more information.

“All men want that,” Aoyama Ryo replied.

If it's true that all men in the world like married women, then Aoyama Osamu might need to apologize to some men. But as for the statement that "all men in the world like to marry multiple wives," he feels no apology is necessary.

There are such people.

But such people are usually stripped of their male status; some are relegated to lower ranks for being considered worthless, while others are elevated and hailed as great men.

Looking back, even after fainting and waking up under the cherry blossom tree, Aoyama Risa's dream was still to become a great man.

Now, due to the constraints of reality, I can only be an ordinary man.

"I actually considered you one of my own kind." (See above, Ai's self-talk.)

“‘Wanting to do’ and ‘reality’ are two different things,” Aoyama reminded her.

"I will do whatever I want to do."

"."

Such a strong ability to take action inevitably arouses suspicion.

First, I suspect that they are lying;
Second, I suspect that he may be mentally ill. Mentally ill people can do whatever they want—whether they can actually do it is another matter.

Third, I suspect he might be a pervert.

"Hmm?" Seeing that Shang Ai was gesturing for him to continue, silence was sometimes an answer, but not now.

"I don't want to think about it anymore," Aoyama Risa admitted defeat.

"Good girl," Jian Ai said with a smile, "the time for you to get sterilized is getting closer and closer."

"I've already given up!"

"But you haven't admitted your mistake yet."

"It was Kobayashi who asked me out last night—"

"Who is Xiaolin? Is he male or female?" See iAsk.

The purpose of meeting you was the same from the beginning, as evidenced by the group photo last night.

She had no right to manage, but Aoyama was willing to accept her challenge. The two used words as weapons, and if he lost, he would be 'managed'.

He has lost now.

"...Kobayashi Shiki, male. There was also a male named Aizawa Jun." Aoyama Risa confessed like a criminal, "It was just the three of us. After eating yakitori, we went to the arcade and happened to run into Amakusa Sawa and Inoue Misato."

Was there any physical contact?

"No."

"I swear," said Ai, "if there is one, you..."

She put her hand to her lips, lost in thought: "You, imitate a cat's meow."

How much do you love cats?

Aoyama suddenly thought of something: "Jian Shang, didn't you look like a cat when you meowed?"

Jian Shang Ai slightly raised her chin: "Of all the things I'm good at, studying is tenth, and meowing like a cat is first."

Only tenth in studies?
Could there really be an S in this world?
"Could you make a sound?" Aoyama asked.

It's not that he likes cats, nor that he's overly curious, nor that he enjoys having pretty girls call out to him.

Anyone who hears that the top student in the school year, Ai, is tenth in academics but first in meowing, would want to hear her meow, right?

"Impossible." Jian Shangai refused decisively.

There is no room for negotiation, just like having only ten dollars in a bank card but constantly trying to withdraw a hundred.

"Why?" asked Aoyama Rika.

"There's no reason why." Seeing Ai's cold tone, "Don't hold any hope. Not even a birthday wish. Never."

It seems like it really won't work.

The beautiful girl then said, "Unless we unfortunately get married in the future, and you overhear me while I'm not paying attention."

Is it worth it to hear someone imitate a cat's meow, only to have to marry them?
—The temptation is considerable!
