Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

A few seconds later, Hoshino Yuzuki walked out with a stern face. The moment she saw that it was Shimada Sho, her brows furrowed even more.

What are you doing here?

"Borrow money."

"..."

Hoshino Yuuki was silent for three seconds, then took a deep breath, trying to suppress her emotions, "How much?"

“Five hundred.” The body being held in trust had an awkward expression.

"Wait."

She turned and went back into the classroom, then quickly came out again, holding a 1,000 yen bill in her hand, and slapped it directly onto Shimada Sho's chest.

"Take it."

Thanks.

"Get out of here."

Shimada Sho pocketed the money, turned around and left, quick and decisive.

Hoshino Yuzuki stared at his back from behind, her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.

The video continues to play.

He took the money to the convenience store and bought bread and milk, which he ate in a corner of the campus.

Then--

[Player's current status detected: Hunger level cleared.]

[Switch to regular auto-play mode: Simulates the player's daily behavior logic.]

[Scanning environmental information...]

[Homeroom teacher Natsumi Yonekura has been detected approaching.]

Sure enough, in the scene, Yonekura-sensei's figure walked from the direction of the teaching building, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw Shimada Sho.

"Shimada-kun! I was just looking for you!"

He stopped walking and turned to face the teacher.

"How's your club application coming along? Today's the deadline."

silence.

"Shimada-kun?"

"..."

"You haven't thought it through yet, have you?"

His body suddenly spoke: "Where is the club building?"

Ms. Yonekura paused for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction: "That's right! The club building is in that red building on the east side of the playground. Many clubs are having activities during lunch break. You can go and see if there's anything that interests you."

"it is good."

He nodded and turned to walk towards the club building.

Ms. Yonekura called from behind, "Remember to hand in your form today! Otherwise, I'm really going to have to call your parents!"

He waved his hand without turning his head, indicating that he understood.

[Instruction Update: Search for available clubs to join.]

[Goal: Obtain required credits for club activities.]

Strategy: Scan the club building to find clubs with few people, little work, and easy credits.

The scenes switch rapidly.

He walked into the club building and strolled up floor by floor.

Kendo Club, Archery Club, Light Music Club, Brass Band Club, Art Club...

His body hesitated for a moment, but he ultimately gave up on these ideas.

On the second and third floors, the higher you go, the fewer club activity rooms there are, and the quieter the corridors become.

Once we reached the fifth floor, we could barely hear any sound.

He walked slowly down the corridor, his gaze sweeping over each door number.

Just then—

[Target detected: Yuki Ayase.]

[Role evaluation in progress...]

[Assessment Result: Meets the basic criteria for "potentially bindable object".]

[Recommendation: Maintain contact and gather intelligence.]

His steps faltered.

Before them stood a half-open door, with a sign that read: "[Literary Discussion and Human Observation Society]".

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Push the door open and go inside.

Then--

[The school bell has been detected.]

[Switching to hibernation mode, awaiting player return.]

The video ends here.

"So...it's the system's fault?"

After receiving all the memories, Shimada Sho was completely distraught.

He glanced at Ayase Yuki in front of him, then at the sofa he was sitting on, and at the tea and snacks on the coffee table, before looking up and asking, "How long have I been here?"

"Pretending to have amnesia..." Ayase Yuki looked at him calmly: "Forty-four minutes and fifty-four seconds."

She had just finished speaking when the familiar school bell rang outside.

"..." The entire class period.

Shimada Sho was a little worried, "Did I do anything else during that time?"

Does "watching me count?"

"..."

So it wasn't just when you were checking the system, but that you've been staring at it ever since you came in?

Yuki Ayase didn't say much; she began to tidy up the books on the table.

There were twelve books scattered on the table. She picked them up one by one with her fair fingers and neatly stacked them on both sides of the desk.

Six books on each side, the same number.

However, due to the difference in thickness, the one on the left is slightly taller.

Upon seeing this, she frowned slightly and took out a few sheets of printed paper from the drawer, placing them on the left side.

Only after both sides were level did he nod his chin in satisfaction, look up at Shimada Sho, and repeat what he had just said: "Mr. Pervert, can you answer my question now?"

"What's the problem?"

What are you doing here?

Shimada Sho took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Alright, since I've already been labeled a pervert, I should at least get down to business.

"I'm here to join a club."

"Join a club?" Ayase Yuki raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze sweeping over the sign at the door. "The Research and Observation Club?"

"Correct."

Do you know what this club does?

"do not know."

"Then why did you choose this?"

Shimada Sho thought to himself: Because the system sent me here, but I can't say it.

So he put it another way: "Because the other clubs all seem too troublesome."

Yuki Ayase was silent for two seconds, then nodded slightly.

"Honesty is one of the few virtues of Mr. Pervert."

"My name is Shimada Sho, not Mr. Pervert."

"Okay, Mr. Pervert, I understand, Mr. Pervert."

Shimada Sho: "..."

This woman definitely did it on purpose.

Yuki Ayase stood up, walked to the door, and pushed it open completely.

"Then the pervert can leave."

"why?"

"Because the place is full."

Shimada Sho glanced at the empty conference room.

Apart from him and Yuki Ayase, there wasn't even a fly.

"Where is it full?"

“Here.” Yuki Ayase raised her hand, her slender index finger pointing to her chest. “My heart is full. I will not accept any new members.”

Shimada Sho: "..."

He suddenly realized that this woman was much more difficult to deal with than Yukine Kamishiro.

Although the young lady has a peculiar way of thinking, at least she is simple and easy to understand.

The person in front of you speaks flawlessly, insults without using any vulgar language, and yet maintains a nonchalant demeanor, making it impossible to know where to begin when trying to refute them.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of accepting him, Shimada Sho decided to leave.

But just as he lifted his foot, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the activity room from the outside.

"Please come in," Yuki Ayase replied.

The door to the activity room was pushed open, and two boys walked in.

"Hello, senior. We're here to sign up for the seminar and observation club."

"Come in."

Yuki Ayase nodded, beckoned the two inside, and then said, "Tell me your height."

"169."

"I'm 175!"

The two boys appeared to be first-year high school students, and they sounded somewhat nervous as they spoke.

Yuki Ayase took a form out of the drawer and looked at the 175cm tall boy. "Come here and fill out the form. You... do not meet the requirements at the moment."

In short, she rejected the 169cm tall guy.

The boy who was asked to fill out the form was overjoyed and picked it up to fill it out.

He filled it out in no time and placed it respectfully on his desk.

"Okay, I'll let you know if it's approved. Go back now." Ayase Yuki picked up the form and put it in the drawer.

"Okay, thank you, senior!"
