Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 294 The distance to becoming a poet is still 291.
It was already 11 o'clock when they got home. After taking a shower, the Ono sisters went to their respective rooms to rest.

"Rin, don't push yourself too hard. You should get some rest too," Ono Mika advised.

"Ah."

“The photo album can be a gift for the three of us—” Ono Mizuki couldn’t help but yawn.

Aoyama Risa smiled and said, "Good night."

"Good night~"

He returned to his room, sat down at his computer, and used the printer to print out photos of his cats (the photo paper and album were bought in the afternoon).

No photo editing.

Simplicity and imperfections are what give meaning, just like the difference between handmade chocolate and commercially produced chocolate.

The printer whirred and squeaked, swallowing white photographic paper and spitting out colorful 'cat photos' one after another.

Qingshanli didn't care.

—System, write poetry, using "meeting the one you love" as the theme, avoiding romantic love.
no response.

Can't write poetry?

Oh, by the way, I'm currently on a writing spree.

Aoyama Risa canceled [Love Daily Life - Meet Ai, Miyase Yaeko: 99.8%].

—System, write poetry
【开始取材：1%、2%、.100%、101%200%300%400%500%956%】

—You have too many opinions about seeing love?
Regardless, as long as it exists, that's fine. It's the system's perspective, not his.

Aoyama reads nine poems from his mind.

I watched it ten times.

"If I had known that writing poetry was so convenient, why would I have written novels!" Aoyama Rika regretted it too late.

However, a collection of poems cannot contain only nine poems, nor can it consist entirely of A-grade masterpieces.

That defies common sense.

Of Li Bai's 1,000 extant poems, only about 20 are household names (such as "Quiet Night Thoughts"); and about 50 are widely circulated.

The nine poems written by the system are all widely circulated. Everyone has different preferences for poetry, but no matter who it is or what their preferences are, they will all admit that each of these poems is widely circulated.

Aoyama Ryo felt that writing light literature that wasn't considered highbrow suited him better.

He doesn't want to win a Nobel Prize by relying on the system.

It has a hint of fraud.

As I always say, I value money over fame.

He should wait until he achieves a B or A level of literary skill and writes a best-selling book before thinking about fame.

Aoyama Ryo continued reading the nine poems in his mind.

To put it simply, anyone who sees these nine poems will keep reading them until they unconsciously memorize them.

After reading it, I had countless thoughts in my mind, and I even wanted to write a poem myself.

"956% of the tenth song is already 56%, why don't I give it a try myself?" Aoyama Risa had this impulse.

Amidst the whirring of the printer, Aoyama Osamu began to try writing poetry himself.

Title: Beautiful

I want to write a poem about your strength.
{Your face, and your black hair}
{This has led me completely off-topic}
Cross it out quickly.

That's utter nonsense.

But Aoyama Risa did not give up; he read the nine poems in his mind again.

Each poem reveals a side of love; reading these poems is like hearing her voice, whether laughing or scolding.

It's as if I can still see her face, whether it's indifferent, cheerful, or contemptuous.

As I read, I even felt a strong urge to see her.

Just like how I came to like Detective A after watching "Detective A".

Grasp this feeling, Aoyama Risa continued to write poetry.

Title: Love at First Sight

A moth lands on your table.
Don't save it; it's not in danger, it just wants to be your pet.
{Like the cat at your feet}
No no no!

Title: Metaphor

{You remind me of life}
{Nowhere to escape, nowhere to go}
What the hell!
Title: "Letting Out for Breeze"

Life is like a prison, and being near you is my time to get some fresh air.
{The warmth of the winter sun is like the feeling of having you by my side.}
Aoyama Riku quickly gave up.

He wrote the nine poems of the system on the back of the nine photos.

After finishing writing them, he felt confident and wanted to try again—those nine poems had such powerful magic.

If it were published, it might give rise to a few more great poets in the world.

"The last song!"

Title: Your Charm

{A sudden gust of wind}
{Adjust your body to assume a defensive posture}
{Only in this way can I stay in the same place}
Aoyama Riki scratched his head, thinking it must be because he had only read nine poems.

As the old saying goes, "If you can read three hundred Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you can't compose them." To confirm whether he has any talent, he still needs two hundred and ninety-one more poems.

It's too early to say anything now.

Ah!
In the end, Aoyama Osamu included a few of his own poems.

Although the other nine poems were so bad that it made people suspect they were plagiarized, those nine poems were 'written by him,' so no matter how abrupt they were, he wouldn't be intimidated.

The hundred photos weren't printed yet, and the unexpectedly long printing time made Aoyama Ryosuke a little worried about whether the printer had enough ink.

He carefully placed the printed photos, one by one, into the album.

It's not just because they are gifts; there's also the reason of 'not wanting to hurt something new'.

Even with a rag, if it's new, you'll be a little more careful when using it; that's probably the mentality.

After organizing the photo album, he spent another half hour reviewing English vocabulary to reinforce his memory.

Although he didn't use the system, his long-standing habit of using it allowed him to concentrate fully and be highly efficient.

go to bed.

One moment I dream of seeing my beloved cat, the next I dream of riding a motorcycle with Yaeko Miyayo, then I dream of Mizuki Ono's feet, then I dream of Mika Ono's soft body.
Finally, something extraordinary happened at his birthday party.

On Sunday, August 28th, when Aoyama Ryo got up in the morning, he didn't open the system, but instead reflected on himself first.

I seem to be quite interested in that area lately.

Is she becoming more beautiful on the outside every day, but uglier on the inside?

No, wait, does being interested in that kind of thing necessarily mean being ugly?

It would be a problem if they weren't interested!
Camus said that to love someone, you must love with love, tenderness, and desire. How can you do without desire? Right?
Aoyama Ryo felt that he was perfectly normal.

After breakfast, the Ono sisters looked through the photo album, focusing on the poems at the back.

“Are some of the songs in there plagiarized?” Mizuki Ono said.

As expected, they were suspected.

"I started writing, but then I ran out of inspiration and just did whatever." Aoyama Risa said with the same assertiveness of an original author.

It wasn't out of doubt, but because those nine songs were just so good, that the Ono sisters couldn't help but search for them online.

“No,” Ono Mizuki said.

"I couldn't find it either." Mika Ono looked up from her phone and met her gaze.

Both of them looked at Aoyama Ryo at the same time.

“Come on, strike a cat pose.” Aoyama Risa took out his phone.

"Why?!

"The price of doubting your brother... Oh, right, Sister Meihua, you should too."

"Is this also the price you pay for doubting your brother, sister?" Ono Mizuki asked, feigning innocence.

“Suspecting your brother is a serious crime!” Aoyama Risa finished speaking and laughed, “You want me to investigate again? If you can’t find evidence of plagiarism, besides playing the cat, you’ll also—”

"Meow~" Ono Mizuki made a meow-like fist.

Actually, Aoyama wanted her to act like she was "greeting a cat," but she didn't expect Aoyama to take advantage of her.

Well, let's learn from this experience.

“Mika-nee,” Aoyama Rika looked at the embarrassed Ono Mika, “I want one like that.”

He pointed to the Black Cat Sheriff, whose waist was concave and whose body was stretched.

"Why?!" Ono Mika was pushed to her limit.

“You doubt me,” Aoyama said.

".Mizuki."

"Hehe~" Instead of helping her sister, Ono Mizuki took out her phone, "Sister, quick, meow~"

When a cat stretches, its body appears exceptionally long and slender. When Mika Ono strikes this pose, in addition to being long and slender, she also looks incredibly sexy.

"Don't post this online!" Mika Ono warned, her face flushed.

"Of course!" Aoyama Ritsu would only keep it to himself.

“I don’t mind, brother, send me mine, I want to post it on TikTok!” Mizuki Ono said.

She has quite a few fans now.

To be precise, it's enough to support a family of three. She didn't post much—just selfies, dances with her girlfriends, pictures of meals, her love for "Detective A," and other everyday moments like Black Cat Detective.

Why is this world so obsessed with looks?!

"I'm going to the restroom," Mika Ono said, blushing as she left.

Aoyama Riki clicked into Ai's LINE account, and their chat history was still stuck on the part where he said her butt was perky.

Should this chat log be deleted?

As if to cover up the conversation, he quickly entered the image and text, burying the phrase "buttocks perky" into history.

[Aoyama Osamu: {Photo: Ono Mizuki's 'cat photo'}]

[Aoyama Rika: Don't say I'm hogging the food.]

[Aoyama Osamu: Happy Birthday]

[See you on Shangai!]

[Aoyama Ri: '! '?】

[See you on Shangai!]

【Aoyama Ri:.】

It seems that the issue of having a perky butt is far from over.

Aoyama Risa became curious and wanted to see if Aoi, who had received the poem A written specifically for her, would speak.

Therefore, he has not apologized yet.

[Aoyama Rika: Our family prepared a birthday present for you. How should we give it to you?]

[See you on Shangai!]

Is the condition for letting her receive her birthday present to apologize and then get her to speak?

“Mizuki, ask Aoi how to give her the gift,” Aoyama Risa said.

"Me?" Ono Mizuki was editing a photo, adding cat ears and a tail to herself.

"Should I have it?" Aoyama Ryo retorted.

"Okay." Ono Mizuki saved the draft and opened Line.

after awhile.

[See you on Shangai!]

[Aoyama Ri:? 】

[See Shang Ai: !!]

[Aoyama Ri:? ? 】

[See you on Shangai!]

"Brother, Senior Sister invited us to her birthday party again. Shall we go?" Ono Mizuki asked.

“I’m not going,” Aoyama Ryo replied.

Mizuki Ono buried herself in typing.

[See you on Shangai!]

Aoyama Ritsu was about to send a '?', but after thinking about it, he deleted it.

[Aoyama Rika: I'm sorry, I won't do it again.]

[See Love: You only apologized a whole night later, there's no sincerity at all!]

[Aoyama Osamu: I am reflecting on my actions.]

[See Love Online: Really?]

[Aoyama Rika: Really.]

[See Love Online: On your birthday, would you like someone to lie to you?]

[Aoyama Ryou: I'm sorry, I'm not reflecting on my actions, but I truly know I was wrong, and I won't say it again.]

[See Shang Ai: You know me. I don't believe in apologies; I believe in 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.']

[Aoyama Osamu: I've never heard you say that before!]

[See above for love: So]

[Aoyama Rika: Hey, don't mess around, I'm sorry!!]

Aoyama Rima was getting anxious, afraid that Ai might suddenly do something during their next chat, such as casually mentioning to the Ono sisters that the two of them had accidentally kissed.

hum~
I saw a message from Shang Ai.

[See Love: Your butt is also very perky!]

[Aoyama Ri:! 】

[Aoyama Rika: I was really embarrassed. I'm sorry, I'll bow deeply in apology. It really won't happen again!]

After sending out this message, Aoyama Ryo also began to believe in "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth".

I've met this woman, she's so adorable.

[See the poem above: 976%]

—Oh, I forgot. You don't need to write anymore. You may leave.

Regarding the photo album, Mikami Ai told Ono Mizuki that she would come and get it herself, and asked Aoyama Osamu to prepare lunch.

"Huh? Want to come to my house for dinner?" Ono Mizuki said as she sent the message to Mikami Ai.

It's not that I don't want to see Ai Lai, but on her birthday, a young lady like her should be very busy.

[See Shang Ai: Yes, I've been very busy, which is why I came to your house for lunch. It doesn't need to be too fancy, just like yesterday.]

Ono Mizuki showed the chat logs to Aoyama Risa.

Aoyama Ryo felt that Aoi didn't treat him like a human being at all.

When Ono Mika returned to the living room, Ono Mizuki told her that Ai would be coming to pick up the photo album at noon and have lunch with her.

Aoyama admired Ono Mika, who had just washed her face.

Her bangs were slightly damp, and her black hair was simply tied back. It wasn't a classic style, but it was still a very elegant and charming hairstyle.

She makes people want to marry her.

Ono Mika's face slowly turned red again.

Aoyama Risa withdrew his gaze.

To put it simply, seeing Shang Ai was important, but since it was her birthday, it couldn't be too simple.

Aoyama made six dishes and a six-inch cake. The cake had a pink but not tacky heart on it, which he simply painted over and replaced with 'Happy Birthday'.

Jian Shangai's outfit today was very casual; she wore a sleeveless light beige long dress, which was elegant and charming.

After lunch and the cake was cut, Mizuki Ono took out the photo album.

“Jian Shang Ai, this is a birthday gift from our family.” She knelt down next to Jian Shang Ai.

"Thank you," said Ai with a happy smile. "What is it?"

"Open it and take a look," Ono Mizuki said with a grin.

Upon opening the heavy cover and looking at the photos inside, her smile immediately deepened.

"We took these photos yesterday under the scorching sun. We left early in the morning and didn't get home until midnight," said Aoyama Risa.

"Really?" asked Mizuki Ono.

"Hmm~" Ono Mizuki nodded.

Mika Ono smiled wryly: "I only left in the afternoon and got home at 10 p.m.

"Thank you!" Jian Shang expressed her gratitude again.

She flipped through the photo album, and Mizuki Ono told her the location where each cat was photographed, as well as the story behind the photos.

"My brother picked the location, but couldn't find any cats. He even wanted to go into someone else's house and find a pet cat to act as!"

"Hey!" Aoyama Ryo protested while taking a sip of water.

"Look, we lured this cat out from under the shrine with treats!"

After looking at the photos, I felt satisfied and carefully closed the album, holding it in my arms.

“There’s more inside,” Ono Mizuki said with a smile.

"Anything else?" Seeing the doubt on Shang Ai's face, he loosened the photo album and put it back on the table.

“My brother wrote poems on the back of some photos, especially for you.”

"poetry?"

"Hmm~"

"He can write poetry?"

"It's so well written!"

The first poem that Ai-chan found was written by Aoyama Osamu himself.

"This..." Ono Mizuki was embarrassed.

Seeing that Shang Ai had read it, he nodded and smiled, "This poem is very good. It has the feeling of a middle school boy in love."

—They're high school students!
Damn it!

The bastard is cursing Aoyama for being himself, because today is Aoi's birthday.
