Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 36 Peace of mind
Shiratori Seiya's indifferent tone completely stunned the girl.

Hojo Shione opened her mouth, a look of surprise appearing in her watery eyes.

After a long pause, she seemed to finally come to her senses, a look of disappointment flashing in her eyes, her voice becoming hoarse:

"Yes, I know you care about Lingyin. I'll take her away now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hojo Shione showed no sign of moving. She turned her head to look at Takahashi Mio and hesitated:

"Um, can I add you as a friend? It's an honor to have such a beautiful fan like you. Can we get to know each other?"

Her voice was so gentle that it was impossible for anyone to refuse.

Shiratori Seiya frowned, about to stop him, when Takahashi Mio's voice rang in his ears:

"May I?"

"Of course, I've gotten this far thanks to fans like you... But I didn't bring my phone with me, would it be convenient for you to add me?"

Looking at the sincerity in her eyes, Mio Takahashi felt something in her heart touched. After thinking for a moment, she handed over her phone.

"Thank you~"

Hojo Shione thanked her.

She acted quickly, returning the phone in about ten seconds, and then, without waiting for Shiratori Seiya to urge her again, she immediately said:
"I'm sorry, Lingyin, we've caused you trouble. We'll be leaving now."

After finishing speaking, Hojo Shione reached out and grabbed her younger sister's arm, turning to leave. She turned her head slightly to look at her sister, her tone helpless as she said:

"Honestly, he's sick but still insists on seeing Seiya. I knew he'd be angry."

Upon hearing this, Mio Takahashi's ring finger trembled slightly, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and she bit her tongue.

Until the two figures disappeared from sight.

She turned her head to look at Shiratori Seiya and said:
"Aren't you going to chase after them? If this were a scene from a TV drama, you should be chasing after them right now, right?"

Shiratori Seiya glanced at her, frowned, and asked:
"Reality isn't a TV drama, why would I chase after it? Besides, what are you doing here?"

Mio Takahashi blinked, looked him in the eye, and said frankly:
"As I just said, it was just a coincidence, and as Hojo Shione said, it was just a coincidence."

Shiratori Seiya gave her a deep look, his doubts unresolved, and continued to press for answers:

"What did Lingyin just say to you?"

Mio Takahashi shook her head slightly, and while turning around, she glanced at the expression on Seiya Shiratori's face, and hesitated before saying:

What do you think she'll say to me?

Given Hojo Suzune's personality, she probably won't say anything nice.

Just as Shiratori Seiya was about to speak, he saw a forlorn look on Takahashi Mio's face and said:
"First she asked me if I was really your girlfriend, then she asked if I had used some kind of magic, otherwise why would I have dumped her sister..."

Seemingly recalling the scene from earlier, she gave a self-deprecating laugh and looked at Shiratori Seiya with a resentful gaze.

"Hojo Shione is really your girlfriend? I thought you were just joking before, I didn't expect her sister to like you too?"

The girl's words were laced with jealousy, her eyes glistening with tears, and she bit her lip as she said:
What does it feel like to be liked by two sisters at the same time?
If your current girlfriend shows reluctance to part with you, wouldn't you be happy as a guy?

"..."

Seeing Takahashi Mio's unusual behavior, Shiratori Seiya frowned, took a deep breath, and said seriously:
"If you keep talking like that, your end-of-term bonus will be reduced by fifty percent."

Upon hearing this, Mio Takahashi was taken aback.

The resentful and jealous expression on her face froze instantly, then vanished in a flash.

"Eh?!!"

"No!"

Seeing that Mio Takahashi's emotions had returned to normal, Seiya Shiratori felt that the stomach-churning atmosphere between the two of them had instantly vanished.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her and say:

"Don't pretend?"

Mio Takahashi quickly clasped her hands together, her peach-blossom eyes reflecting a pleading look, and said with a sincere expression of repentance:
"Wrong, wrong, wrong."

Seeing this, Shiratori Seiya looked into her eyes and explained earnestly:
"I've already broken up with her, and I have nothing to do with her sister. If we have to connect us in any way, then we're barely friends, do you understand?"

"And also, about you adding her as a friend..."

Upon hearing this, Takahashi Mio blinked, and before he could finish speaking, she asked in return:
"Can't I add him?" "You should know that for fans, adding their idol as a friend is a huge bonus, right? Does this mean your bonus will be deducted?"

"..."

Ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend's contact information...

Shiratori Seiya felt something was off, but Takahashi Mio's reasoning wasn't unreasonable.

If we let her make Hojo Shione her target, it might be a good thing.

Seeing him fall silent, Takahashi Mio complained again with a wronged expression:
"Besides, I was just acting, you don't have to deduct my pay or anything, that's too scary."

"You have to consider the occasion when you're acting, right?"

"Okay, I thought you liked this kind of thing."

"Nobody likes a love triangle, especially when the other person is an ex."

"Oh, so what did you think of my acting just now? I learned it myself by reading books..."

"It's alright, barely passable."

"Huh? I think you acted pretty well. How did you find out?"

Shiratori Seiya shook his head and explained:
"It's too deliberate, it doesn't make sense..."

Mio Takahashi was someone he carefully selected himself, and she had never been in a relationship even in high school, where it's easiest to fall in love.

How could someone fall in love with you after only two weeks of getting to know you?

Shiratori Seiya felt he didn't possess that charm.

However, he had to admit that Mio Takahashi's acting skills were indeed quite good.

If I didn't know what kind of person she was, and if I didn't know that there was no emotional entanglement between us, I would have thought...

I could actually have been frightened by the expression that Mio Takahashi gave me just now.

Should I say that she truly deserves her S-level acting talent?
It seems I should buy another appraisal device in a while to see how far she is from reaching LV2.

At this rate, he should reach LV3 in less than six months...

Shiratori Seiya was satisfied, and then spoke:

"I'll take you to a professional training course in a few days, and you should be able to improve even faster."

"Oh……"

Mio Takahashi nodded, then looked at the two tickets in Seiya Shiratori's hand and asked:

"Um, I remember Hojo Shione's concert is next month, right? Will it interfere with it?"

"You really want to go see it?"

Shiratori Seiya casually stuffed the ticket into his pocket, looked at her profile, and asked:

"Her concert is more important than your two million?"

Mio Takahashi raised an eyebrow and said in a serious tone:
"That's impossible."

Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked hesitantly at Shiratori Seiya and said:

"But could you give me the ticket?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Since we can't watch it, let's sell it to people who need it and let it play its greatest role."

"..."

Shiratori Seiya didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, Takahashi Mio's money-obsessed appearance made him feel at ease.

　I revised the two chapters from last night because I was in a bad state of mind when I wrote them.

　　However, it doesn't affect the overall plot. Those who are interested can go back and watch it again...

　　I'm so sorry.
