Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 282 Bite Back!
"So, from the perspective of the drama club, what kind of person is Ai Mikami?" Aoyama Risa changed the subject with ill intent.

"Beautiful and elegant, with outstanding temperament, an absolute beauty!" said Mizuki Ono.

Miyako Yaeko listened from the side.

Even without that car accident, she might have easily received such high praise from the Ono sisters.

Love is a matter between her and Aoyama Osamu, but the Ono sisters are, after all, his family (as Mikami Ai said, as long as he wins, the two sisters are family), so their relationship can't be too bad.

Besides developing feelings over time, what other ways are there to quickly mend the relationship with the Ono sisters?
“Your understanding of Aoi Mikami is too superficial!” said Aoyama Osamu.

"You don't agree?" Jian Shangai looked at him.

"Look, look, look at her attitude now, this is the real her!" Aoyama Ryou said as if he had caught her red-handed.

She pursed her lips in love.

When a husband speaks ill of his wife without considering the occasion, the wife's expression is exactly what she looks like now—"How did I end up with such a person?"

There was nothing he could do; he had chosen it himself. After a moment of resignation, his wife smiled again, saying that this was exactly the kind of man she liked.

Seeing that Ai also laughed, she said, "Just say what you want to say—what kind of person am I?"

“Anyway, he’s not a good person.” Aoyama Rido said, “Mizuki, remember this? If you’re playing ‘Meeting the Senior,’ remember this feeling.”

"My brother seems to be having a great time at the Philosophy Department in Athens," Mizuki Ono said for some reason.

But it is not important.

“It’s the Department of Philosophical Studies in Athens!” Aoyama Osamu corrected, “Not a single word can be omitted.”

Seeing Ai say helplessly to Ono Mizuki, "Now even I can't change my name."

"What's wrong with this name?" Ono Mizuki asked, puzzled.

“Your brother likes long names,” Miyako Yaeko laughed.

“That’s right.” Aoyama nodded.

"Ten-Yu-El-Sa, Miya-Se-Ya-Ze-Ko," Ono Mizuki counted on her fingers.

"Except for personal names!" Aoyama couldn't understand how this matter could involve personal names.

Whether a person is liked or disliked is one of the least important things, because in most cases, people cannot choose their own names.

Isn't this common sense that should be known worldwide?
"I was just kidding, brother," Ono Mizuki said with a grin.

Aoyama Rin is now terrified of those words, all thanks to the stunningly beautiful girl, Mikami Ai.

"Alright, I have to go now, bye-bye~" Ono Mizuki said with a smile as she left.

After she left, the three members of the Athenian Philosophy Department continued reading.

Occasionally, when she got tired of watching, Aoyama Risa would look up at the window, gaze at the boundless blue sky, listen to the brass band's performance for a while, then look back at them, thinking that such days were not bad.

It was 3 p.m., time to leave school. In such hot weather, everyone preferred to stay at school until dark.

Some clubs did indeed stay, such as the brass band club, the kendo club, and other competition clubs.

The drama club, which is also a 'gazelle', is another example.

Aoyama Riki originally wanted to go to the Sunny Day Band Club to watch Ono Mika practice, but when he heard Kamiya say, "Come with me to the brass band club to watch the fun," he changed his mind.

“But actually I still prefer to join the Sunny Day Band,” said Aoyama Risa.

“The desires are too strong,” said Ai-kamiya.

"Strong desires? Does that mean you're very ambitious?"

"Can beauty motivate ambition?"

That's love!

As it turned out, there wasn't much to see in the wind instrument section. When they saw that Ai had him count the number of people and which groups (there were many groups in the wind instrument section) stayed behind to practice on their own.

The two wind instrument players who visited the Department of Philosophy in Athens last time were among them.

One of the players played a very familiar tone. Sometimes, Aoyama would walk into the school by the sound of that instrument. At that time, he would think to himself: Doesn't this person go home?
"The brass band is pretty good," he exclaimed sincerely.

"Because there are many girls?" See iAsk.

"Do you have some misunderstanding about me?" Aoyama Risa asked in return.

"I like any pretty girl."

"."

"I want to marry many beautiful girls as wives."

"."

"I am actively trying to date both sisters at the same time."

"."

"In conclusion, Aoyama-kun is a pervert."

—What to do? There's no way to argue with that! Think of something, Koito!! (Nobita calls out to Doraemon)

Should we begin 'free fighting' instruction?

—Stop slandering me! I'm not that angry or embarrassed at all!

—Green Mountain!
"How's the brass band situation going?" Aoyama used the 'change of topic' tactic.

"The students of Sanzenin hope that the most capable students will participate, but the advisor believes that with the competition approaching, stability is more important."

"What is it about Sanzenin-kun?" Aoyama Rie muttered to himself.

"Of course, it's for the national championship."

"Would you rather offend your classmates and go against your advisor?"

“In her view, these are the same thing as ‘getting up at six in the morning to practice at school and practicing until nine in the evening before going home,’” said Ai Mikami.

Aoyama Ryo smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Jian Shang Ai looked at him, puzzled.

It was already dark when they returned to the corridor of the Department of Philosophy in Athens, where the windows reflected their figures.

“Hard practice can certainly help her win the national championship, but letting a more capable student compete—at least in this situation—is not necessarily the case.”

"Are you saying I did something wrong?!" came the sudden, cold voice of a young girl.

Aoyama Ryo and I saw that he loved to turn back.

Maiko Kurosawa pulled Sumire Sanzenin along, as if the passenger were advising the enraged driver not to drive aggressively.

"I was talking nonsense, I'm sorry," Aoyama Ryou apologized.

Just as he said when the two first came to the Department of Philosophy in Athens, the Department of Philosophy in Athens does not undertake any business of helping others.

Their purpose was observation and evaluation; they offered no opinions or help.

“Let’s go.” Aoyama Risa whispered to Mikami Ai.

She saw Ai but ignored him. Across the long corridor, she spoke to Sumire Sanzenin in a colder yet more beautiful voice: "Your goal is the national championship. Think carefully about what you need to do to get it."

"Continue to resist, bother the advisors, and disrupt everyone's practice? Or accept the status quo and work hard with the current members? Which one will bring you closer to the championship?"

After saying that, she said to Aoyama Risa in an even colder voice, "Let's go."

Aoyama Osamu and Kurosawa Maiko exchanged a look that said, "Sorry, we're from the same family (Sanzenin)."

Aoyama Risa followed behind Mikami Ai, and the two remained silent.

As he was about to step onto the stairs, he looked towards the spot where they had argued earlier. In the empty corridor, the two of them were still standing there.

Sumire Sanzenin seemed to be crying.

"Perhaps it's something for her."

Before Aoyama Riki could finish speaking, she bumped into the back of Mikami Ai, who had suddenly stopped.

--system!
Everything around me slowed down.

The campus under the cover of night, coupled with the almost frozen silence, gives one the illusion of being in a science fiction movie scene.

The girl is in the air, her captivating black hair flying in the air.

Even without using the [Talent: Slow Motion], he can catch it with his reaction time;

It's okay if they can't catch it. They've only taken two or three steps. There's a possibility of something going wrong, but it's extremely low.

But he used it subconsciously.

I saw that love had fallen into the embrace of the green hills.

To date, Aoyama Osamu is still a virgin, but he has held several girls in his arms. The Ono sisters go without saying, as well as the sick Elsa Amamiya and the seven-year-old Yaeko Miyase.

But no one has ever given him this feeling. It's indescribable.

If I had to say something, suppose one day, when I see Ai offering him flowers, I accidentally fall on his corpse, and he opens his eyes because of that feeling.

"Why did it suddenly stop?" Aoyama asked.

That's right, when your heart stops beating, you can make it start again; when your heart is still beating, you can make it stop beating—that's the feeling.

"Promise me one thing," said Ai.

"I caught you. You're alright. You don't need to say anything."

"Do you know what I most want to say to you after reviewing your information for sixteen, almost seventeen years?"

"What I really want to say to you is, can you please respect my right to privacy?" Aoyama Rido asked. "If your daughter had a similar experience to mine, and had a male classmate like you, would you investigate that classmate?"

“No.” After saying that, Aoyama added, “Absolutely not.”

"Just kill him?"

“That’s right.” Aoyama nodded.

What I want to tell you is...

—Can't you stand still first before talking?

Despite thinking this way, Aoyama Risa himself was reluctant to leave.

Does this count as cheating?
Calculate.

However, strictly speaking, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet.

“If anyone dares to say anything to you, don’t apologize, just say it back! If you can’t win an argument, then fight. Aren’t you very good at fighting?” said Ai-chan.

Aoyama Riki immediately said, "Then—"

"Except me."

"Miss, that was my job."

"Does work necessarily mean giving in and suffering injustice?" See the above Q&A.

“A job where I could be fired at any time, especially one I really need, is one I absolutely cannot act impulsively.” Aoyama helped her up.

"I know, but I'm still angry." Jian Shang Ai stood firm.

She gently brushed her hair aside, tidying her appearance while simultaneously managing her emotions.

“I know you need to work, I know you can’t afford to lose your job, but I still can’t help getting angry when I see you being blamed for no reason,” she said.

Aoyama Ryo looked at the girl in front of him and slowly smiled.

"Seeing you, my classmate, you're such a good woman." He put his hands in his pockets.

Seeing that Shang Ai took two steps back.

She was going up the stairs backwards, which almost made Aoyama Ryosuke take his hand out of his pocket.

Looking down at Shang Ai, he said condescendingly, "I never expected you to be such a fickle man."

"Indecisive? Me?"

"Didn't you say bad things about me to Mizuki before? Now you're saying good things about me?"

"Just like you told me not to always apologize, and to fight back against anyone who bullies me—is that really for my own good or bad?"

I didn't quite hear what he said.

Aoyama Osamu herself was unaware, and seeing that Aoi had also been careless, neither of them had anticipated the charm of Aoyama Osamu's intimate tone and captivating smile at that moment—

Aoyama Risa gazed at the beautiful girl on the steps with a smile.

It's breathtaking.

He added, "For Sanzenin, what just happened might be a good thing, allowing her to reflect on what she should be doing right now."

Seeing this, Ai sneered, "I'm going to give it an F to the brass section."

"I've already said that F doesn't exist."

“Your suggestion is excellent. I will tell Miyase Yaeko about what happened tonight and cancel the brass band club, so that this club will cease to exist.”

"If I had to choose one, I think you're slightly, really just slightly, leaning towards the bad side." Aoyama Risa took his hand out of his pocket, making a small gap between his index finger and thumb.

"Whether I am good or bad depends on whether you agree to my request." Jian Shang Ai crossed her arms in front of her chest.

When parents ask their children who are playing in the mud if they would like to get out of the mud pit on their own, some parents will cross their arms like this.

It's an attitude of 'although we're asking for your opinion, the specifics of how to proceed have already been decided.'

"What did I promise you?" Aoyama asked with a smile.

I used to think he had some charm, but now I think he's more of a punchable character than handsome.

So she said, "If someone bullies you, bite them back."

"Okay." Aoyama Risa smiled and walked upstairs.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that Shang Ai sensed something was off about his smile, she said, "Don't come any closer, I'm your master!"

"Owner?!"

"Don't come any closer! You bad dog!"

"You really were calling me a dog! Stop right there!"

“No one stops when they hear a dog barking!” Ai Mikami said with a smile to Aoyama Rin below, clinging to the handrail at the corner of the stairs.

"I will tell Mizuki everything that happened today, and expose your true colors!"

"Are you trying to tell her, 'I won't allow anyone to bully you anymore,' and encourage her to fight back?"

"I won't tell Meiyue anything about what happened today! Don't even think about making her call you 'sister'!"

—Qingshan, step down! You're even less capable than the system!
In short, it's all the system's and Aoyama's fault, not Aoyama's. If it were him, Aoyama would have called him "brother" long ago.

Stepping out of the school, although it was still unbearably hot and humid, there was a special atmosphere that made one want to take a walk late at night.

That evening, Aoyama Ryo read a book.

The book says, what does a man pursue? A job where he can make a difference, and a woman he can be loyal to.

He's only a high school sophomore; he can think about working later. His immediate priority is finding two wives he can be absolutely loyal to.

The key is Ono Mizuki.

This doesn't mean he'll ignore Ono Mika; he'll protect their relationship, and besides, Aoyama Osamu himself wants to get closer to her.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of Miyako Yaeko standing on the ladder and Mikami Ai in his arms.

He shook his head, feeling he had to act quickly and secure a stable relationship to help him reject the rest.

Time waits for no one, and the next day, August 16th, Aoyama Risa prepared to take action.

The drama club arrived early, saying they needed to practice their vocalizations. Since Ono Mizuki arrived early, Aoyama Osamu and Ono Mika naturally arrived early as well.

They arrived at the school at 6:30.

"It's too early," Mika Ono laughed. "Earlier than school."

“We are now like antelopes, we have to run faster,” said Mizuki Ono.

“Isn’t it fine? It’s not so hot in the morning.” After saying that, Aoyama looked at Ono Mizuki, but she didn’t react at all.

Doesn't she realize she's speaking up for her?

I see. He's been good enough to her already, so no matter what he does now, it won't increase her affection level.

What to do?
—System, let's fall in love!
The system is unresponsive.

Damn it, isn't love a science?

In the Department of Philosophy Studies in Athens, seeing that Ai had not yet arrived, Aoyama Risa stood by the window, gazing at the courtyard below.

The drama club practiced their vocalizations in the shade of the courtyard.

Wearing sportswear, with his hands behind his back, he made unintelligible sounds towards the sky.

The melodious sound of musical instruments echoed across the campus; it was someone from the wind band practicing somewhere.

In Alice in Wonderland, the Red Queen famously said, "If you want to stay where you are, you have to run; if you want to break free, you have to run twice as fast."

The people in front of me are all people who want to go elsewhere.

Including Aoyama himself, he wanted to go somewhere where he could have two girlfriends.

So what should we do?

—During Mizuki's break, did you act with her?

She needs to rest too.

—I used the 10,000 yen I got yesterday to buy some ice cream and send it to the drama club?
It's still morning, not the right time to eat ice cream, so we'll hold off on that tactic for now.

Qingshan was thinking of various solutions.

But regardless of which one it is, they all seem to fall into the category of 'brother and sister' and must do something to make Ono Mizuki realize that there is a possibility between the two of them.

and also!

Who exactly is the boy that Ono Mizuki cares about?
"The road ahead is difficult," sighed Aoyama Osamu.

"Good morning, Little Dog, Corpse, and Green Mountain." The girl's voice came from behind.

"At least put Aoyama-kun first."

"According to the Food Law, the ingredient with the highest content must be listed first, and the ingredient with the lowest content must be listed last. This cannot be changed arbitrarily."

Very well, a new day, and the war has begun again.

Aoyama Risa turned around.

— Surrender, admit defeat.

She's always had long, straight black hair, but today she's sporting a low side ponytail, also known as a "wife's hairstyle."

This person is too dangerous!
