Tokyo: To reiterate, this is not a dating system.

On the running track along the Sumida River.

As if divinely inspired, Genji Aoyama ran with exceptional ease. Two kilometers was no challenge for him, and three kilometers only made him feel slightly warm.

He didn't feel the effects of exercise until he had run five kilometers.

[Sub-health condition disappeared, stamina limit restored to 4]

Upon seeing the notification box in front of him, Genji Aoyama smiled.

The original owner was extremely frugal in terms of food and daily necessities. After being scammed out of her money, she lived a very frugal life, basically eating only two rice balls a day, one in the morning and one at noon, and nothing at night.

If we consider a normal diet and lifestyle, it would take Aoyama Genji at least a month to recover to a healthy state.

"Yukiko is simply a god!"

Having reached a conclusion, Aoyama Genji turned back and headed towards the apartment.

With his sports jacket draped over his shoulders, his tall and upright figure was almost impossible to look away from. Passersby who noticed him would stare at him intently.

Even housewives who went out to buy groceries early in the morning couldn't resist approaching him to chat. After declining the invitation from the third wife, Genji Aoyama returned to his apartment.

After a quick shower and changing into his everyday clothes, he thought for a moment but ultimately decided not to knock on the door next door.

He returned from his run before 8 PM, and there was still some time before his appointment with Odakura. He glanced at his phone; he had consulted with Ohara Mami after dinner and had already received a reply.

[So beautiful! So beautiful: Wow, news from Aoyama-kun!]

[So beautiful! So beautiful: The reason Asahi-chan left early last night was because of you, Aoyama-kun! She always feels uneasy when you're not around.]

[Aoyama: Thank you, Minister Ohara]

After quickly replying to the message, Genji Aoyama rubbed his temples as if he had a headache.

He felt something was off when he was having breakfast at Yuko Asahi's place that morning.

Just like when she first arrived at Asahi Yuko's room last night, she seemed to be deliberately avoiding Aoyama Genji, barely saying a word, but constantly staring at him.

After Aoyama Genji finished eating, her deep, still gaze almost seemed to be telling him to leave.

At first he thought it was shyness, but after testing him, he found it was something else entirely.

He decided to consult a professional, or rather, a doctor who had become an expert through long illness.

But Izumo Saki doesn't seem to be fully awake yet. Anyway, I'll leave a comment first.

Once she sees it, she'll definitely reply, given her personality.

[Aoyama: My friend's girlfriend has been acting strange lately. She was fine at first, occasionally showing some dependence, but now she's starting to deliberately avoid him. Saki-sensei, what's the psychology behind this?]

The status changes to read the moment the message is sent.

Then I received a message from Saki Izumo that she replied instantly.

[Saki: Saki doesn't really want to talk to you, hmph!]

Aoyama Genji burst into laughter.

It seems he wasn't still half asleep, but rather a little upset because he didn't reply to her last night.

Reflection.

But we cannot admit it.

[Aoyama: I feel like Saki-sensei is experiencing the same thing www]

[Saki: So why didn't you talk to me last night?]

[Aoyama: Sorry, I was just too tired. I had PE class yesterday, so I was really exhausted.]

[Saki: Only a fool would believe that!]

[Saki: Fine, I'll trust you this once]

[Aoyama: Understanding is key. So, what's the situation with my friend's girlfriend? Saki-sensei, should we do some further research?]

[Saki: No need for that. Your friend's girlfriend probably has an avoidant attachment style. She might have been in stage one before, occasionally showing some half-hearted dependence; now she's in stage two, subconsciously resisting intimacy due to past experiences; and there might even be stages three and four in the future.]

[Saki: My advice is to break up with him as soon as possible!]

In a normal romantic relationship, Genji Aoyama would almost never hesitate. In a relationship under such circumstances, it's not just one person who gets hurt.

But this relationship isn't quite normal.

Question: Will a doctor give up on his patient?

Genji Aoyama believes that his professional skills as a doctor are completely inadequate.

It even gave an incorrect judgment.

He decided to reflect deeply on his actions tonight.

[Aoyama: Saki-sensei, do you have any other suggestions?]

[Saki: Yes, have your friend stay with me.]

So when was it discovered?

Genji Aoyama stroked his chin, feeling like he was being tricked.

I also felt that my actions were a bit too much like eating.

Before he could figure out how to reply, Izumo Saki sent another message.

[Saki: What's your answer?]

[Qingshan: Let me ask my friend]

[Saki: Hmph, I'm ignoring you!]

Genji Aoyama switched to LINE, opened the AI ​​software, and began asking for information about avoidant attachment.

The more he looked, the more he felt that it matched Yuko Asahi's situation.

Excessive independence, resistance to intimacy, emotional repression...

This is not a mental illness, which means there is no medication that can treat it.

Therefore, the problem still lies in the family of origin.

Genji Aoyama had considered this before, and now it's almost certain.

Halfway through reading, my phone notified me of a new message.

[Saki: Which one do you think would be more suitable, Aoyama-kun?]

[saki: Image]

[saki: Image]

[Saki: Or should I put it on and show it to you?]

[Aoyama: Yamete! ]

[Qingshan: I have to go out for a bit, let's talk again tonight!]

The picture sent was of a close-fitting garment worn underneath, with very little fabric.

Aoyama Genji dared not continue the conversation, as what followed was predictable and would be absolutely detrimental to the physical and mental health of teenagers.

He switched back and continued browsing content about avoidant attachment.

"Perhaps I should learn something about psychology..."

After reading it, Aoyama Genji had this thought in his mind.

[Aoyama: Saki-sensei, is your psychology research club still accepting applicants?]

Seemingly premeditated, the next message was a selfie of a girl with her face close to her cheek.

On her energetic and adorable face, a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes seemed to be staring at him through the screen. Her cheeks were puffed out, making her look angry, but without any sense of rage. Instead, she looked like a girlfriend being coquettish.

But it is not important.

The important thing is that a task dialog box popped up.

The first encounter after being bound together—

Does that include images?

The key issue is the task itself, which is truly difficult to describe and completely detrimental to the physical and mental health of teenagers.

But there's always a way out.

Genji Aoyama took a deep breath, closed the system pop-up, and quickly tapped the keyboard to reply to Sasaki Yun.

[saki: Image]

[Saki: Ignoring me again? I'm angry!]

[Saki: If it's Aoyama-kun, I'll accept it.]

[Aoyama: Izumo-senpai, are you free this afternoon?]

[Saki: Just call me Saki, I'm free~~~]

Genji Aoyama took another deep breath, his fingers beginning to tremble slightly.

[Aoyama: Saki, can we go to the Love Hotel this afternoon?]

After finishing his speech, Aoyama Genji looked up at the sky.

This time, Izumo Saki didn't reply immediately; in fact, it took her a minute to reply, but Aoyama Genji read it instantly.

[Saki: Huh? Isn't this too fast? I still... Anyway, I don't really want to be in a place like that. How about coming to my house?]

[Aoyama: No, it has to be that kind of place]

[Aoyama: Oh, and remember to bring your bass.]

Today, Genji Aoyama is going to let the system know that the hotel is not only a place to learn foreign languages ​​and read scripts, but also a place to coach bassists.

There is absolutely no problem with this.
