Tokyo: My Girlfriend

In the room with the curtains drawn, the next day, or rather, in the days that followed, Aoki Akemi's desire for that kind of thing completely exceeded Kitagawa Shinichi's imagination.

When I watched the movie before, Aoki Akemi said that she had a strong desire for sex, but at the time, Kitagawa Shinichi thought that her words were somewhat exaggerated.

Although he didn't mind doing this with her every day, he was also afraid of exhausting her.

Because guys always get a bit carried away in these kinds of things.

In addition, Akemi seems to be particularly good at arousing emotions, and Shinichi Kitagawa always struggles to maintain a proper balance.

Of course, Akemi always said, "It's okay, Shinichi can do whatever he wants, as many times as he wants."

Shinichi Kitagawa originally wanted to have a transitional period with Akemi, and even if they officially started dating, he wanted to gradually fall in love with her.

However, Akemi seemed to have no desire for these difficult processes, or perhaps she simply wanted to use the simplest and most effective method to make Kitagawa Shinichi fall in love with her.

Only then, based on their physical relationship, did he manage to make her fall in love with him.

It proved to be somewhat effective; at least Aoki Akemi could clearly sense that when the two were embracing in bed, Kitagawa Shinichi's eyes started looking at her.

She believed that if things continued this way, sooner or later Kitagawa Shin would never think of Haruhi Hina again.

In the dimly lit room, Aoki Akemi lay on the bed, her fingers intertwined with his.

"Shinichi...I want...one more time."

"But I haven't had lunch yet, and if I don't eat soon, I'll be too late to get back to school."

"Then I'll feed you mouth-to-mouth now, you can continue with your work." She took a piece of sushi from the side and put it in her mouth, with a few strands of colorful long hair scattered on the bed, her fox-like eyes full of seductive charm.

She wrapped her hand around him.

Shinichi Kitagawa's eyes trembled: "Akami..." He leaned in and ate the sushi with her.

On Thursday afternoon, in a high school classroom in Tokyo, several teachers from other schools sat at the back of the classroom, listening to the lesson.

Wearing a long skirt and white shirt, with light yellow hair, Haruhi Hina is holding a pen seriously.

It records details of lectures given by teachers from other schools.

When the bell rang, Haruhi Hina got up and left the classroom chatting and laughing with the teachers who were with her.

The boys and girls in the class whispered among themselves:

"This female teacher from another school is so pretty! Her eyes are so beautiful."

"Yes, her aura is just like a celebrity."

After leaving the classroom, the female teachers who were with her naturally overheard some whispers from the class, and said enviously, "Ms. Hina, it's true that being pretty is popular everywhere."

Haruhi Hina awkwardly hugged her schoolbag. She wasn't deaf: "What? Teachers don't care about these things. Besides, don't joke about what the students say."

"But it does improve students' attention in class and can also resolve a lot of unnecessary troubles. Beautiful people even have a smooth life."

"That's an exaggeration, and I'm not that good-looking anyway."

Haruhi Hina genuinely didn't think so. After all, if everything could be solved just by being good-looking, she and Shinichi wouldn't be in such a difficult situation, even though this time it was trouble she had brought upon herself.

They went together to the office to meet up.

The head of student affairs, who had followed, clapped his hands:

"Alright, teachers, we've seen a lot of teaching methods from other schools this week, and I'm sure you've all had some insights. Tomorrow, Friday, everyone should stay in their rooms and take the time to organize yourselves and write a summary of your trip to submit next week. Then, we'll all take the bus back to Kabasaki Town together this afternoon."

The teachers were all happy to hear that they could finally go back.

Haruhi Hina couldn't help but smile.

I'm finally going to see Shinichi.

She had dinner with the other teachers, and on the way back to the hotel, the female teachers suggested, "We're going back to school tomorrow, so why don't we all go to the city center tonight, have some barbecue, and relax? It's not easy to come to Tokyo."

Haruhi Hina said, "I won't be staying with everyone. I want to use this time to go see a friend, as we had planned before."

The teachers knew that Haruhi Hina's family lived in Tokyo, and that while everyone else was on a business trip, she was going back to her hometown: "Oh, I see. We were hoping that Hina-sensei could take us along, but it seems we'll have to do it next time."

Haruhi Hina smiled gently: "I'm sorry, but although I can't accompany you, I can tell you about a few fun places. I guarantee you won't regret going."

After saying goodbye to the other teachers, Haruhi Hina took a taxi alone to the familiar counseling office.

He pushed open the door to the firm.

However, the person sitting on the sofa inside the office was not Kyoko Tamura.

Instead, he was a handsome middle-aged man in a suit and glasses, who looked very much like a scholar.

The other person was holding a cup of coffee and looked up to scrutinize the newcomer.

Haruhi Hina had met him a few times before, and could easily recognize him just by his demeanor. She exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Horii! You're back!"

The other person's full name is Horii Masahiro, who is Tamura Kyoko's boyfriend or fiancé, whom she has been dating for more than three years but has never shown up much.

Masahiro Horii exclaimed in surprise, "Hina-san? Long time no see!"

Haruhi Hina smiled and closed the door: "It's been a long time. I came to see Kyoko. Where is Kyoko?"

Anko Tamura, wearing an off-the-shoulder short-sleeved shirt and with shoulder-length short hair, came out from the inner room: "I'm here. Hina's here. Sit down, and I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Haruhi Hina said thank you with a sigh and walked over, saying, "Do I only see you two together like this once a year?"

Horii Masahiro spoke in a refined manner, grasping Tamura Kyoko's hand: "I'm so sorry, I've been too busy with business, so I can only come back to see Kyoko once in a long while. Most of the time, Kyoko comes to see me."

Kyoko Tamura sat down next to her boyfriend and said with a smile, "Why would I need to differentiate between these things with you?" Haruna Oki blinked, realizing what she meant, "But if you're staying here tonight, I can't stay with you. I have to go stay somewhere else with Masaya."

Haruhi Hina hummed in agreement, not wanting to disturb their sweet nothings: "Of course I know, although I was actually planning to stay at your place tonight."

Because the other party is not considered an outsider.

Haruhi Hina didn't have much to hide, and ever since Haruhi Hina entered the house, she noticed that the other party would go to the inner room from time to time to answer a few phone calls, which would last for several minutes each time.

Haruhi Hina sat on the sofa, sipping tea, and complained, "Kyoko, your boyfriend is really busy. I'm always a little surprised when I see him. Is this what life is like for rich people? He doesn't have any time to rest at all."

Kyoko Tamura, however, seemed to like this, her eyes filled with admiration: "That's how big bosses are. Okay, let's not talk about business anymore." She lowered her voice: "What's wrong, Hina? Did you specifically ask me out this time, or is it just a casual chat? If it was just a casual chat, you shouldn't have come today, right?"

Haruhi Hina thought of Kitagawa Shinichi again, and a sadness immediately appeared on her face. She said softly, "Actually, it wasn't anything special. Shinichi asked me out on Monday, but I had to go on a business trip, so I turned him down..."

"Huh?! You! What did you say after that?" Tamura Kyoko thought to herself that she couldn't let Kitagawa Shinichi down again at a time like this.

Haruhi Hina lowered her gaze and blushed, "I said I should be free this weekend, and we can meet then."

"Really?!" Kyoko Tamura felt this was incredibly good news and couldn't believe it: "You really said that?!"

Haruhi Hina wondered why the other person was so surprised: "Yeah, why are you so surprised? It must be true, but... he seemed to say something like, 'We'll see,' and he might not even come looking for me."

Kyoko Tamura grinned from ear to ear, waving her hand dismissively, "No, no, no! Shinichi definitely didn't mean that! Tomorrow's Friday, right? Go back tomorrow afternoon and ask him out again! Don't worry about whether he has time or not, just insist, he'll definitely agree!"

"You'll definitely agree?"

Kyoko Tamura happily nudged her best friend's shoulder: "Of course! You really don't understand Shinichi Kitagawa. But why did you agree this time? What were you thinking?"

Haruhi Hina didn't know how to say it. Biting her lip, she recalled what had happened during this time: "Actually, after being separated from Shinichi for so long, I feel..."

"Excuse me, Kyoko, I might have to catch a flight tomorrow morning." Horii Masamichi came out of the inner room again. "I have something important to do back home, so I have to get up early."

The two looked over together, and Kyoko Tamura asked, puzzled, "Didn't we agree that we wouldn't leave until tomorrow afternoon?"

Horii Masayoshi walked over, his voice unhurried: "There's nothing I can do, the company is too busy, another client is coming."

Haruhi Hina realized something and quickly said "Oh" and stood up: "Then I won't disturb you anymore. You don't have much time together anyway, so you should cherish it. I'll go back first, Kyoko."

Unlike many others, Tamura Kyoko didn't try to stop him, because it was truly rare for her to see her boyfriend. She whispered, "Hina, let's talk on video tomorrow."

Haruhi Hina smiled, holding her handbag. "Okay, I'm off then. Bye-bye."

Kyoko stood up at the door to see him off: "Take care!"

After Haruhi Hina left, Tamura Kyoko turned around and walked towards her boyfriend. She quickly closed the shop and went to a hotel with her boyfriend to spend some quality time together.

When Haruhi Hina hailed a taxi, she looked back and saw two people leaving hand in hand, waving goodbye to each other.

She murmured enviously to herself, "They have such a good relationship. Even though they can only see each other once in a long while, they are always very happy when they meet."

After leaving the office, Haruhi Hina went to her parents' house to have a brief chat with them about her studies this week.

Around 7:00 PM, when Haruhi was returning to the hotel arranged by the school from home, she unexpectedly bumped into Horii Masahiro making a phone call downstairs.

Haruhi Hina was stunned for a moment before she reacted, covering her mouth in surprise: "No way? Kyoko and Mr. Horii booked a room here? What a coincidence..."

She smiled and took out her phone to take a picture of Hori Masahiro, intending to send it to Tamura Kyoko and tell her about this unexpected coincidence.

But after the filming was finished, I inexplicably heard the other party say some strange things on the phone.

Wearing a suit, Horii Masaya's tone was still slightly doting: "I know, darling, I'll go back tomorrow. Hmm, I'm in Tokyo on a business trip, right? It's not like I'm not going back on purpose. Don't worry, I'll bring you a gift tomorrow."

Haruhi Hina stood there with wide eyes, wondering if she had misheard. As the other person hung up and turned away, she quickly hid behind the wall, secretly peeked out, went downstairs to the supermarket to buy a pack of cigarettes, and then returned upstairs.

"Really...?" She followed him, bewildered, secretly watching the man's retreating figure as he went upstairs. "What did he just say, 'darling'? He couldn't have been referring to Kyoko, could he..."
