Tokyo: My Girlfriend

After meeting comes parting.

After lunch, Shinichi Kitagawa and Haruna Kasuga embraced in front of the sushi restaurant.

Their faces flushed, and after a brief hesitation, their lips touched briefly.

When soft lips, warmed by the other's body, touch.

Haruhi Hina's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat. She gently placed her hand on Kitagawa Shinichi's chest.

I could feel his heart pounding faster, which put me at ease.

Shinichi Kitagawa opened his umbrella: "Miss Hina, aren't you going back now?"

Haruhi Hina smiled and waved her hand: "I happen to be going to a friend's office today. I have some things to do. Be careful on your way back, Shinichi."

"Well, I'll head back now. I'll meet with Hina-san again in about two weeks. I have a lot of things to do since I just got back to Japan, and I'll be almost done in two weeks. I think Hina-san is only available on weekends."

Haruhi Hina asked, somewhat puzzled, "Huh? Hmm, but it'll take half a month? I haven't even asked Shinichi where he plans to stay in Japan yet."

"Kawasaki Town."

"That's quite far."

Seeing her slightly disappointed expression, Kitagawa Shin thought for a moment and said, "Then let's not wait half a month. Let's meet next week."

Haruhi Hina laughed awkwardly, "It's okay, it's okay. If Shinichi-kun is busy, you don't have to come to see me. Just take care of your business first. Didn't you just say you had to arrange a transfer and renovate the old house? I'm free on the weekend anyway."

"It's not that busy."

Haruhi Hina blushed and muttered softly, "If you're not that busy, why say half a month..."

They've only just gotten together, which is a crucial stage in building their relationship.

Waving goodbye, Haruhi watched Kitagawa Shinichi leave in a taxi until he was completely out of sight, then she covered her face in shame and squatted down.

I felt like I was being steamed alive.

"Oh my god! I'm actually dating such a cute boy? Although it feels a bit like I'm getting a good deal, since Shinichi is capable, cute, and younger than me, it's really hard to suppress these feelings after three years."

She hugged her thighs, staring at the wet ground, her eyes trembling:

"And we kissed on our first meeting... even though we didn't do anything... wouldn't that make me seem a little lonely? That's annoying, but we've been chatting online for so long, so I shouldn't be too unreserved, right?"

She slowly placed her hand on her red lips, savoring the brief, heart-fluttering feeling: "My first kiss..."

The phone rang, startling Haruhi Hina, who frantically searched for it in her bag.

I wondered if it was Shinichi Kitagawa who called?

Could it be that something was left behind?

To her surprise, she took out her phone and saw it was just a friend calling. Relieved but slightly disappointed, she answered, "Feeding? Xingzi?"

"Hina, are you coming to my office now? I found the mother and daughter you asked me to investigate. It seems they went to Finland back then. Oh dear, you were really hard to find."

They practically cut off all contact when they left Japan. Do you know how much effort it took me to find them? You absolutely have to treat me to a meal, and while you're at it, introduce me to some handsome guys.

Haruhi Hina exclaimed with delight, "Of course, of course! I'll definitely treat you to dinner, tonight! As for introducing you to a handsome guy, I have something to tell you, I'm no longer single!"

"Oh...what?!" came a surprised voice from the phone. "You stubbornly single old maid finally got someone! Is the other person even human?"

Haruhi Hina gave him a disdainful look: "What are you talking about? I have a lot of guys chasing after me, but I'll only date someone I like, right?"

"That's why I always thought you didn't like men. I've introduced you to so many handsome guys, but you didn't agree to date any of them. Despite being pursued by so many people, you stubbornly remained a 22-year-old idiot who had never had sex. I've already had four boyfriends."

"Don't even mention it! Having a boyfriend will mean I won't be a virgin anymore!"

"Hina is so lonely. I thought you were heartless, but I didn't realize you were actually incredibly lonely."

Haruhi Hina blushed and bit her lip, thinking, "Ugh... I hope Shinichi-kun doesn't think that way too."

She snorted and closed her eyes: "I'm hanging up. I don't want to talk to you. See you later."

[Congratulations, host, on successfully entering into a love contract with Haruhi Hina!]

The system rewards for Haruhi and Kasuga will be increased fivefold in the future.

The system reward has arrived, although it hasn't been fully credited yet. I still need to upgrade Haruhi Hina's novel level to the next stage.

Shinichi Kitagawa bought some food and returned to the hotel. Today had gone by so smoothly.

Hina is much prettier and more cheerful than I imagined. This must be like getting an SSR in a lottery, since she has both a great mechanic and good stats.

All of this completely exceeded Shinichi Kitagawa's imagination.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a sticky sensation under his feet. Shinichi Kitagawa looked down at his feet in confusion.

I stepped in dog poop...

And the culprit was right next to him, sticking out its tongue and staring at him, barking.

"Forehead.."

He found a place to clean the soles of his shoes.

However, I didn't feel particularly unlucky. A little bit of bad luck mixed in with great success is the most reassuring. Too much success will only make you wonder if fate is going to suddenly do something big to you.

After cleaning the soles of his shoes, Shinichi Kitagawa still planned to change them when he went upstairs, otherwise he would feel a little awkward.

I went to room 203 and knocked on the door.

"Rena?"

No one opened the door.

Is that girl still asleep? It's already noon.

He took out his key and opened the door, only to find Kitagawa Rena, dressed in a white dress, standing motionless in the room, staring at him.

Kitagawa Shinichi asked, puzzled, "What are you doing standing here?"

Reina Kitagawa spent the entire morning peering out the window, meticulously observing Shinichi Kitagawa's expressions, movements, and mood.

Well... the moment she pushed the door open, she realized the other person didn't seem that happy, like she'd stepped in dog poop.

Hmph... just as I expected, it died in the light.

Rena Kitagawa, who had been feeling uneasy, was now in high spirits. She realized her anxiety was unfounded: "Did I step in dog poop?"

One sentence made Kitagawa Shinichi laugh out loud: "Yeah, I'll change my shoes first. Have you had lunch yet? If not, I bought some snacks."

Kitagawa Rena sat on the bed: "It's okay to step in dog poop. Just be more careful next time. There are a lot of idle people online, so it's normal to accidentally step in it."

"What are you talking about, you idiot..."

"Is the other person a 30-year-old man, or a 40-year-old man?"

Shinichi Kitagawa smiled dreamily and replied, "You're asking about meeting someone in real life? She's a super, super beautiful older sister."

Kitagawa Rena knew he was already traumatized, and even more so? Multiple affirmations could be a form of denial; three years of online dating had yielded this result. Her cold tone carried a hint of smugness:

"Forget it, it's fine if you don't want to talk about it. I'll cook your first meal when we get to Kabasaki Town tomorrow, as a way of comforting you."

"Huh? Rena's going to cook? That's something to look forward to. Looks like stepping in this dog poop wasn't such a bad deal after all."

"Don't overthink it. After all, it was your aunt and uncle who told us to take care of each other. I just didn't want you to be too stressed and affect your health. Pack your things, we should continue on our way. You can eat the snacks you bought on the road."
