Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 304 Now that things have come to this, the only option is to abolish the department!

"Too slow! I've been waiting for you for two days!"

As soon as I entered, I heard Jian Shang's critical voice.

"I only chatted with a classmate for a few minutes after school, it didn't take two days!" said Aoyama Risa.

"Aoyama-kun, please put the class and classmates aside and focus on the club now," Aoi instructed.

—This is the SOS Brigade. Are you Haruhi Suzumiya?
If given a choice, Aoyama Osamu would not have chosen the SOS Brigade, which includes aliens, superpowered individuals, and time travelers.

SOS Brigade, only two characters count!

The Department of Philosophical Studies in Athens—a full seven characters!

More isn't necessarily better, but even a monkey knows to choose the one with more—Sun Wukong.

"Are you sure you want to shoot a music video?" Aoyama Osamu started to get down to business.

"Yaeko Miyagi agreed, but on one condition."

"Is it going to be that I'm going to play the female lead?" Aoyama thought of the boy-and-girl cafe that someone in his class had suggested.

Who would actually go to a coffee shop like this?

Seeing that Shang Ai laughed, she said, "That's a good idea, but unfortunately it's not—the final sales of the CD must reach 10,000 copies."

"Ten thousand?! Are there really that many people?!" Aoyama Ryou was shocked.

The music video featuring the three singers and their lead roles is sure to sell well, but it's not sold to all of Japan; it's only available to Kaiming High School.

There were indeed people from outside the school during the cultural festival, but it was still too impossible to sell 10,000 copies.

"Are you scared? I'm quite confident," Ai said with a smile.

"That's narcissism," commented Aoyama Osamu. "Is there any punishment for not reaching 10,000?"

"Of course, you should know about Miyako Yaeko."

"I think so too. What is the punishment?"

"The Department of Philosophical Studies in Athens was abolished and replaced with—"

"Ten thousand it is!"

Minister Aoi saw that he appreciated the loyalty of Secretary Aoyama and nodded approvingly.

“So you understand now? That’s why I told you to focus all your attention on the club,” she said.

"I didn't understand your good intentions, but I hope you can explain things before you start insulting me. That way, I'll feel that it's right for me to be insulted."

"It's quite interesting that you can teach someone a lesson without making them angry."

"The time you've spent lecturing me is roughly the same as the time I've spent chatting in the classroom, which means two days have passed—can we begin?"

"Don't rush, men should be more composed."

"..." Aoyama sighed and sat down.

It seems you're in a good mood after seeing your love.

Is 10,000 copies a small problem for her?

Rika Aoyama hadn't forgotten that her initial evaluation of the club was also a way of creating trouble for herself.

Unlike those who create their own troubles, she seeks out troubles to hone herself, so she is actually happy when she has troubles.

Instead, I became happier. Can worries still be considered worries? Would "opportunity" be a more appropriate word?
Or perhaps, they're really looking forward to the cultural festival and want to make a big splash?
Wasn't he also looking forward to it on his way here?

Strictly speaking, this was Aoyama Osamu's first cultural festival, and it was also the first time for the Ono sisters.

If people have neither the interest to participate in the activities nor the money to spend, then such a cultural festival is a fake.

Only when real gold and silver are poured into it can it be considered genuine.

"How exactly do we do it?" Aoyama Ryou asked in a very steady tone.

"The camera is ready, which is great news. It solves our equipment problem and saves us a lot of money," said Ai-kamura.

"The camera is mine, it costs 10,000 yen a day to use it."

It's nominally owned by the band's management company, but it's actually his.

"You're making hundreds of millions of yen a day now, why would you care about ten thousand yen?" See iAsk.

“That money was the family’s money, and the 10,000 yen was my own money,” Aoyama Rido said.

Seeing that Shang Ai was sizing him up, she asked, "What do you need so much of your own money for?"

terrible!
terrible!

He had previously said, "Why do you still care about 10,000 yen?" as if 10,000 yen was a small amount of money. But when Aoyama said that the 10,000 yen was his own, it became "so much".

This was before the wedding.

What will happen after marriage!
"It's none of your business." Fortunately, Aoyama Ryo didn't marry her.

“I don’t want to use my position as minister to order you around, but as a member of the group, everyone should do their part—I’ll contribute my brainpower; Miyako Yaeko will contribute her authority; and you, number 34, will contribute your physical labor.”

Aoyama Ryo vowed that he would at least be number 25 in the midterm exams in October!
There is a system that can improve grades, but rankings cannot be improved in a short time. Everyone at Kaiming High School works very hard.

Especially for top-ranked students, years of hard work, their own talent, and family resources can make the system unable to catch up in a short period of time.

Aoyama Ryo plans to save his final battle with Akihime for his senior year of high school.

"Camera, free."

In ancient times, Han Xin could endure the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs; now, Aoyama Ryou can also let Mikami ride on his head!
Regardless of his thoughts, seeing love was like pruning a small branch with garden shears—easily eliminating the little nuisance of the camera.

“Next is song selection,” she said. “Considering the sales target of 10,000 copies, covers require copyrights, and we don’t have much money, so we can only do original songs.”

“I can’t write songs,” Aoyama Riki immediately said.

"I've already said, everyone should do their best; you don't need to use your brain for this."

"You'd better be careful when you walk at night."

He saw that the person above said, "Knock."

She didn't form any hand seals, so the ninjutsu had no effect.

Besides her intellect, she also possesses physical strength.

What angered Aoyama Risa the most was that he himself was also part of her power, and he could use it without needing to form hand seals, just by calling out her name, "Aoyama".

"Fine, you decide," said Aoyama Risa.

If you don't care, you can actually be lazy; taking a step back can really open up a whole new world.

However, after spending so much time together, Aoyama Ryo could probably guess that Mikami Ai didn't just want to bully him—but she definitely did, and also had the idea of ​​taking the initiative to write the song.

After all, he owns a camera, so he doesn't have to work in certain areas anymore.

"Next is the theme of the song. What are your thoughts?" See iAsk above.

"Didn't you say you didn't need me?" Aoyama Riren even tried to shirk this responsibility.

"This is now an expanded meeting."

Despite his sophistry, Aoyama wouldn't delay when it came to serious matters: "Since we're students, things like striving, youth, and teacher-student relationships are all acceptable, right?"

"A happy club life?" Jian Ai suggested.

“This is something only you can write; I can’t help you with anything,” Aoyama Risa said, spreading his hands.

She smiled and glanced at him.

“I’ll write the song, now let’s discuss the music video shooting,” she said. “We can use only one camera for shooting, but if we can borrow a tripod and a reflector, the shooting effect will be better.”

"borrow?"

"Movie screenings and the like."

"Are they also preparing to film it?"

“But people need to rest, so we can borrow them during their rest time—we’ll go talk to them later.” “Their rest time, and we work? That’s almost always late at night.”

"That's why you can't get first place. You underestimate the night. Apart from the daytime, it's all night. You need to really realize that."

"."

Someone who goes to bed at 10:30 p.m. says that someone who doesn't go to sleep until 2 a.m. doesn't understand the preciousness of the night.
Seeing that she was taking stock, she continued, "Besides the equipment, we also need props and costumes, but we'll have to wait until I finish the lyrics to decide what kind of music video we'll be shooting, what props we need, and what clothes we need."

"Buy them all?" Aoyama asked.

"I'm afraid this is the only way." Ai sighed. "The Fashion Design Club, the Handicraft Club, and other clubs are probably busy with their own activities—but we still have to give it a try."

"Isn't there enough money?"

"I only intend to use the club's funds."

Aoyama Risa and Ono Mizuki initially joined the Athens Philosophy Research Club for the club's funding.

That was truly pitiful!
Even when choosing clubs at school, they were thinking about how to make money.

After the deal for "Detective A" was finalized, the brother and sister didn't receive any more funding, so they actually only received it for one month.

Aoyama Riki didn't want a fifteen-year-old girl to continue living that kind of life.

"How much money is there in total?" Aoyama asked.

"You don't need to worry about the money, I'll figure something out."

Seeing Shang Ai's slightly furrowed brows, it seemed that she was under considerable financial pressure.

"Is burning CDs more expensive?" he asked.

“Ten thousand copies.” Ai Jian said that quantity was the key. “This is just the cost of the CDs; there’s also the packaging.”

"It's not necessary to carve them all at once. The money from the first day's sales can be used as the cost for the second day."

As she spoke, Aoyama Ryo thought of something else: "I wonder if it will be enough time to make it today."

"I will entrust it to a trustworthy factory." Jian Shangai indicated that there was no need to worry about this.

—Is your own family trustworthy?
But Aoyama Risa did not object.

He can endure hardship, but that doesn't mean he enjoys it. Besides, this is just a cultural festival, and having fun is the priority.

"Thinking about it this way," Jian Shangai suddenly pondered, "it seems I have more to do, such as writing lyrics or composing music. Should I leave that to you?"

“Wait, wait, wait!” Aoyama Risa raised his hand. “Although I was looked down upon and even argued back, I actually completely agree with the idea that I don’t need to use my brain.”

"Qingshan, the person who truly loves you won't spoil you; instead, they'll make things difficult for you and make your life less comfortable—I hope you can rise to the challenge," Jian Shang Ai said with a smile.

"I think it's possible to torment someone you don't love, for example, with an enemy!"

"Are we enemies?" See above for more information.

"Do you love me?" Aoyama asked rhetorically.

"The female lead hasn't even appeared yet, and you two have already started acting?" Miyako Yaeko walked in.

Aoyama Risa's eyes shone brightly, but when he saw Ai, it was as if the light was being absorbed by Aoyama Risa.

The person with shining eyes said, "Miyashi, you've come at the right time. I have a difficult task for you!"

Miyako Yaeko smiled and walked over to sit down.

Aoyama poured her some water: "I don't know how to compose music."

“You can write lyrics,” Yaeko Miyagi said.

After hesitating for a moment, Aoyama Rika still didn't pour the water from her glass into her own.

“Writing novels and writing song lyrics are two different things,” he explained.

Besides, he didn't write the novel.

“But writing poetry and writing lyrics are the same thing.” Miyako Yaeko picked up her water glass and took a sip.

That's it!

Here's the problem!
Aoyama Osamu continued to struggle: "My poetry writing skills are inconsistent. Given your personalities, would you really entrust such an important task as writing lyrics to someone whose abilities are uncertain?"

"Either it's well-written, or it's written with emotion; I think both are very skillful," Jian Shang said with a smile.

"Give me back my poem!" Aoyama Ryou regretted it.

Why bother with a poem? I'll just buy her a cat.

If it's just casual conversation, Aoyama Osamu might have the chance not to write lyrics, but once he gets involved in a dramatic situation, he's definitely going to write lyrics.

What should I write about?
Aoyama Ryou had already begun to think subconsciously.

"Where is the meeting at?" Miyako poured herself some water.

"Sponsors," Ai said. "Will the students have any objections?"

“The student council’s funds have all been used to build the haunted house,” said Miyako Yaeko.

"Was it really necessary to build such an exaggerated haunted house? This is a school," Aoyama asked.

"Many junior high school students will go to their favorite high school to participate in the cultural festival when choosing a school to see if the activities are interesting. When it comes to cultural festivals, they will think of haunted houses."

Aoyama suddenly realized: "And when people think of haunted houses, they think of Kai-Ming High School, which has the world's number one haunted high school?"

"Even so, I can't guarantee that building a haunted house is necessary, but making the students of this school happy is also part of my people-friendly plan."

"It's really approachable, everyone's talking about it," said Aoyama Risa.

Besides the students in Class 2-4, the Ono sisters are also looking forward to it.

Not to mention the students, many teachers are also curious.

“That’s enough of this small talk,” said Ai. “We don’t have much time left, Aoyama. I hope you can write the lyrics as soon as possible. Only with the lyrics can we determine what props and clothing styles we need.”

"I already told you not to entrust such an important task to..." Aoyama Ryou, who subconsciously retorted, suddenly fell into deep thought.

The two stunningly beautiful young women remained silent, waiting patiently.

“Not bad!” Aoyama Risa came back to his senses.

"Got an inspiration?" Miyako Yaeko smiled, her expression a mixture of eight parts affection, one part appreciation for his talent, and one part pride.

"I want to incorporate elements like bunny girls, nurses, shrine maids, maids, twin tails, classrooms, swimming pools, gymnasiums, libraries, and more into the lyrics!" Aoyama Risa exclaimed excitedly.

The two stunningly beautiful young women remained silent, suppressing their inner restlessness.

After a while, Jian Shang asked, "Are you really going to make us wear those clothes, appear in music videos, and then sell them?"

Aoyama was speechless.

She smiled when she saw him.

First, as someone who pursues purity (as she claims), Aoyama Osamu pursues Ono Mika and Ono Mizuki, so of course she wouldn't actively look at other girls;
Second, the gentleman (claimed) would not force the girl to wear those clothes, nor would he appear in front of the camera.

“What’s the fun in this activity?” Aoyama Rido said.

“If we don’t sell 10,000 copies, the Athens Philosophy Research Department will be abolished,” Ai reminded him.

Miyako Yaeko said, "Change it to 'Student council subordinate clubs are evaluated and examined, and are not allowed to study the Athenian Philosophy Department.'"

"I'm a genius, writing lyrics is something no one else can do!" Aoyama Rika said firmly.

It's like three people playing a claw machine together. Just when one of the plush toys is about to fall, he quickly cuts in line and inserts a coin.

He doesn't know how to use the system.

He wrote it himself.

Write bad songs.

Praise for the student council's evaluation and assessment of clubs and organizations, and prohibition of research on the Athenian Philosophy Department!
The day the cultural festival ended was the day he joined the club.
