Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

However, the task settlement was conducted after the takeover was completed, which is why there was no notification at that time.

Perhaps helping the two become friends could help achieve an S-rank rating for the mission.

But there's absolutely no need for that.

"Settle the basic reward directly." Shimada Sho immediately thought to himself and selected the settlement task.

Based on the experience from the last integration, even if the task evaluation reaches S level, the reward is only basic content.

He's not obsessive-compulsive; he wouldn't go to such lengths just for a review.

Besides, the reward is fresh cash; getting it in your hands is the most important thing.

[Reward settlement complete. Congratulations to the player who has won: 10000 yen in cash.]

The system notification popped up again, and Shimada Sho's phone vibrated simultaneously.

Upon checking, I saw a text message notification that 10000 yen had been deposited into my bank account, and my current balance was 10523 yen.

"That feels good." Shimada Sho smiled, completely relaxing.

Without that 10,000, he would have spent every last penny of his money.

If I still haven't sorted out my part-time job by the time I finish the bread that Hoshino Yuzuki sent, I'll be eating dirt.

Fortunately, the 10,000 yen arrived just in time.

With this money, his most pressing problem was completely solved.

Only then did Shimada Sho have the mood to carefully examine the information on the system panel.

This takeover of the body brought more than just financial gains.

In the task tag section of Yukine Kamishiro, there is now a new tag: "Thug Copycat".

It's just a descriptive word that shows a person's traits; it's not important.

What Shimada Sho is more concerned about is the progress of the training at the very bottom.

It has surged from 3% to 11%.

It's a remarkable leap forward.

"At this rate, I can get the progress to 50% in a week at most."

Shimada Sho muttered to himself, pondering his future plans.

Once Yukine Kamishiro's training progress is more than halfway complete, he can import new characters.

Having learned from the previous experience, we definitely can't hire a rich young lady like Shindai again this time.

To make money, other conditions need to be considered.

For example, the other party's power, personality, assets, etc.

Perhaps we could learn more about that girl named Yuki Ayase.

Once the progress is achieved, import the data directly. Even if you don't make any money, having an additional character to issue tasks will double the rewards they receive.

If there were a few more missions that reward money...

The more Shimada Sho thought about it, the more he longed for it, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

But then, a sudden female voice rang out, interrupting his beautiful reverie.

"Shimada-kun."

The voice was gentle and tranquil, like a warm spring breeze blowing into one's ears, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Shimada Sho snapped out of his daze and began searching for the source of the voice.

Upon closer inspection, they were stunned.

"Where is this? Where is the classroom?"

He found himself not in a classroom, but in an unfamiliar room.

Inside the room, rows of bookshelves stood against the wall, and the floor was covered with an expensive velvet carpet.

He sat on the leather sofa in front of the bookshelf, with a generous spread of tea and snacks on the coffee table in front of him.

On the right, a huge floor-to-ceiling window occupies half of the wall. In front of the window is a brown desk with a dozen books and a pen holder scattered on it. Behind it is a pretty figure.

She had long, jet-black hair, delicate eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes like a gentle breeze and a bright moon, a smooth, jade-like neck supporting her exquisite chin, and deep pupils behind black-rimmed glasses gazing calmly at him.

This girl was none other than Ayase Yuki, the female role candidate whom Shimada Sho had observed that morning.

"very!"

Although I still don't understand where this place is.

Why did I inexplicably end up here?

But this did not prevent Shimada Sho from giving it a perfect score in his heart after that fleeting glimpse.

Because I was sitting to her side and slightly behind in the morning, I didn't get a clear look at her face.

Only now, when I see it clearly, can I truly appreciate the breathtaking beauty of this young girl.

Her elegant and serene temperament, and her pure and beautiful appearance, are in no way inferior to Yukine Kamishiro!

Although completely different from the carefree and unrestrained demeanor of the young lady, the stunning effect she gave was exactly the same.

This is truly a beauty that is one in a million!

Unfortunately, the response to Shimada Sho's heartfelt words was Ayase Yuki's emotionless question: "Has no one ever told you that staring at a girl's body with a lewd smile is impolite?"

"Huh?" Shimada Sho didn't understand. "What do you mean?"

"After your filthy and vulgar gaze was discovered, you chose to play dumb to fool him?" Ayase Yuki stared straight at him, her bright eyes seemingly able to see through people's hearts.

But Shimada Sho looked completely bewildered. "Wait, what did I do?"

"Tsk, not only is it vulgar, but it also lacks the courage to admit its shameless behavior. How pathetic." Ayase Yuki shook her head expressionlessly, her words sounding like she was commenting on a movie that had nothing to do with her.

But Shimada Sho was completely baffled.

He didn't do anything at all.

I logged out of my character and woke up here.

As soon as I saw the person in front of me, I was bombarded with a barrage of sarcastic remarks.

This woman is stunningly beautiful, but her mouth is incredibly sharp; she can spew out one insult after another.

"What the hell did I do to deserve this?"

Shimada Sho's anger was brewing inside him, and he couldn't help but want to retort.

Even if the system takes over the body, there should be a cause and effect to its actions, right?

[Ding! Player return detected. Do you wish to receive the complete memories after the body was taken over?]

Just as he was getting agitated, a notification suddenly popped up in front of him.

Shimada Sho's eyelids twitched as he stared at the line of text.

So it turns out you can retain memories?

What else is there to say? We definitely have to accept it.

He needed to find out how he got here and what had happened during his time in trust.

Otherwise, this woman would really accuse me of molesting a female classmate.

"After being exposed, he decided to go all out and openly look at her. What a hopeless pervert."

Before Shimada Sho could process the memories, Ayase Yuki spoke again.

The criticism remains relentless, with the language escalating from vulgar, shameless, and pathetic to beyond redemption.

At this moment, Shimada Sho finally realized what was happening.

"Is this the kind of lewd look you're referring to?"

He raised a question while looking up at the light screen displayed in front of him by the system.

It was afternoon, and the sunlight illuminated the room brightly.

Yuki Ayase sat behind her desk, her fair hands resting on the surface.

Her long, black hair cascaded down her neck, and her bright eyes stared unblinkingly at Shimada Sho.

Two gazes met silently in the air.

Before the latter could even realize it, the former had already parted his lips slightly and said with a faint sarcasm: "Even while admitting his evil deeds, he doesn't forget to continue to molest girls with his lewd and shameless gaze. Shimada-kun is really persistent in fulfilling his role as a pervert."

"..." Shimada Sho was somewhat embarrassed.

He finally understood why this woman was acting so strangely.

Ultimately, it's all the system's fault.

The first thing he did after waking up was to check the task settlement information on the system panel.

This panel is only visible to himself and cannot be seen by others, so from Shimada Sho's perspective, he is looking at the system.

To others, however, their gaze actually penetrated the panel and landed in the distance.

In today's terms, his gaze would pass through the panel and land right on Yuki Ayase.

Reflecting on the process of checking and summarizing the information, it took at least five minutes.

In other words, he stared at Yuki Ayase for five minutes without blinking.

No wonder they were attacked with veiled sarcasm.

Fortunately, Yuki Ayase was well-mannered; if it were an ordinary female student, she probably would have already shouted that she had been sexually assaulted and reported it to the teacher.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something and got lost in thought."

Realizing that it was indeed his fault, Shimada Sho's resentment dissipated, and he took the initiative to apologize.

"It's good that Mr. Pervert admits it." Ayase Yuki's expression remained unchanged, seemingly not caring much.

The response was light and casual, a far cry from the aggressive and venomous attack that had just been launched.

Consequently, Shimada Sho didn't even know how to start the conversation when he wanted to correct how she addressed him.

At that moment, Yuki Ayase made a move and began to tidy up the books on the table.

While tidying up, he said, "Now it's time to answer the question from earlier."

"What's the problem?" Shimada Sho asked casually, while simultaneously controlling the system to receive memories.

A warm feeling washed over me, and images began to surface in my mind.

Yuki Ayase asked, "What are you doing here, Mr. Pervert?"

Shimada Sho did not answer, because his consciousness had already sunk into the images of his memory.

Chapter Thirteen: Mr. Pervert Under Custody

[Managed mode is starting...]

[System core command: Prioritize the safety of the player.]

[Player's current status detected: Moderate hunger, mild fatigue.]

[Activate emergency response procedures—find a food source.]

In the scene, Shimada Sho's body rises from his desk like a puppet, his movements stiff but his goal clear as he walks out of the classroom.

People were coming and going in the corridor during lunch break, but he completely ignored everything around him and walked straight downstairs.

The goal is clear—Class 2A.

"Wait a minute..." Shimada Sho had a bad feeling.

The video continues to play.

As he walked to the door of Class 2-A, he happened to run into a girl coming out.

"Is Hoshino Yuuki there?"

The girl glanced at him, then turned and called into the classroom, "Hoshino, someone's looking for you! It's a boy!"

A commotion broke out in the classroom.
