Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"Besides, you've already said you don't like him, so why would anyone else have feelings for you?"

"Reality isn't like anime. While you're still hesitating about whether you like someone, other girls who are proactive might already be looking for opportunities to be with Kamishiro-kun."

"So if you do something reckless, you'll most likely have no chance!"

Shiina Shoko also felt that what her mother said made a lot of sense, and stammered:

"Then what should I do?"

Shiina Arisa puffed out her proud chest and chuckled:

"That's easy."

"Back then, your mom used a little trick, and most of the boys in the class were completely infatuated with me."

"Even your stinky old man is so smitten with me that he sticks to me like glue every day."

"And you've perfectly inherited my genes, so your figure and looks are definitely top-notch!"

"As long as you listen to your mother, winning over Kamishiro-kun is actually a very simple thing."

Shoko Shiina quickly sat down next to Arisa Shiina, put her arm around her shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Mom, please make sure you pass these skills on to Xiangzi!"

"I want to win over Kamishiro-kun!"

Shiina Arisa gently patted her head, looking pleased.

"Excellent, excellent!"

"Then listen carefully."

"When you're talking, you must look into the boy's eyes with affection, but you can't be too obvious, just a little bit is enough."

Shiina Shoko was immediately stunned:

"what?"

"Looking at boys with a slightly affectionate gaze... Xiangzi, I've never tried that, I don't know how to do it."

Shiina Arisa smiled slightly, the corners of her mouth turning up:

"Just imagine that Kamishiro-kun is already your boyfriend and that you two are on a date. That way, you can look at him with affection."

Shiina Shoko's face immediately turned bright red, and she lowered her head shyly, saying:

"In that case, I... I think I understand what to do."

Shiina Arisa didn't teach any complicated techniques, just some simple ones:

"And when you're chatting, no matter what he's saying, even if you don't understand anything, you should still respond!"

"I really don't know how to explain it, so I'll just use the three universal formulas!"

Shiina Shoko blinked:

"What formula?"

"Just imitate me." Shiina Arisa gave her a brief demonstration.

She covered her mouth in surprise, exclaiming, "Really?"

Then, with a cute and confused look on her face, she asked, "Why?"

Finally, he clapped his hands gently and smiled, saying, "Amazing!"

Shiina Shoko said with extreme shyness:

"But...but aren't these actions and expressions a bit exaggerated?"

Shiina Arisa rolled her eyes at her, clearly annoyed.

"Where's the exaggeration?"

"That's just your opinion. Actually, guys really like these three things!"

Shiina Shoko muttered to herself:

"But."

Shiina Arisa pinched her cheek and teased:

"Just use it, that's all."

"You'll understand why I made you say that when the time comes."

Shiina Shoko rubbed her cheeks and nodded:

"Oh"

Shiina Arisa continued:

"Also, if you have the chance to hold Kamishiro-kun's hand, remember to gently tickle his palm with your finger."

"Just scratch it once or twice."

"Don't have too much."

"Do you remember?"

Shiina Shoko was bewildered:

Why are you tickling his palm?

Shiina Arisa was furious with her silly daughter and complained:

"That's exactly what I told you to do."

"Do not ask!"

"You'll find out when the time comes anyway."

Shiina Shoko scratched her head:

"Oh"

-

Hibiya Electric Railway Station.

At the platform.

Maki Mizuno looked at the approaching train, but she made no move and simply stood there silently.

With a hissing sound.

The air valve on the tram door closed the door.

Then the tram slowly started moving and began to move on the tracks.

As Mizuno Maki watched the train gradually disappear, her expression grew increasingly complicated.

She didn't know when Kamishiro-kun would arrive.

It's unclear whether Shiina Shoko will let him stay at her house overnight.

Thinking of this, a complex expression flickered across Mizuno Maki's cool face, and a sense of regret slowly crept into her heart. She nervously clenched her fingers until they turned blue.

She regretted it a little.

I regret not telling Kamishiro-kun we should go together.

Because they both took the same route home.

We usually go home together.

If I just offer to take Xiangzi home together, he'll probably agree.

Then the two of them can go home together as usual.

at this time.

After dropping Shiina Shoko off at home, Kamishiro Shirakaze slowly walked over.

But when he arrived, he found that Maki Mizuno was still waiting for the train.

He stepped forward, puzzled, and asked:

"Mizuno-san?"

"Has the tram not arrived yet?"

Mizuno Maki, who had been lost in thought, trembled when she heard Shiro Kaede's sudden greeting, clearly not expecting his unexpected appearance.

But after regaining her senses, a fleeting joy flashed in her cold, beautiful eyes, which was quickly suppressed.

Mizuno Maki, barely managing to keep her expression from changing, coaxed:

"When I first arrived, the previous tram had just passed by."

"I missed it."

"Oh, it's alright. We'll wait a bit longer, and it should be here soon." Shiro Shiro thought about it and agreed that there was nothing wrong with it.

Because sometimes when you're rushing to catch a tram, you'll encounter this awkward situation.

Because they missed the tram in front of them, they had to wait for another ten or twenty minutes.

After saying this.

Shiro Shiro didn't say anything either, but just started grinding experience points with his literature book.

Although Mizuno Maki was also reading a book, she felt much better than before, as she sensed that Kamishiro Shiro was right beside her.

Chapter 218 I was obviously the one who came first

.

The next tram slowly approached.

"The tram is here, let's get on," said Shiro Shiro.

Maki Mizuno was stunned.
