Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

"good."

"Then I'll pick another one!" Tenkai Chizuru lowered her head and started rummaging through the box again.

Seeing her undisappointed expression, Shimada Sho suddenly realized something.

If it were Ayase Yuki feeding the food, she probably wouldn't even give herself the chance to catch it with her hands in this situation.

The young idol, however, did not exhibit any of those obsessive, infatuated behaviors.

She would never and dare not do anything she doesn't like.

Looking at her drooping eyelashes and slightly pouting lips, Shimada Sho thought she was even cuter.

So, Shimada Sho put down the registration form and, with a thought, retrieved the Bond Camera stored in the system.

The icon for this item is just an outline.

When you take it out and hold it in your hand, it looks like an ordinary instant camera.

"Chizuru."

He pointed the camera at Chizuru Amami and called out.

"Hmm?" Chizuru Tenkai looked up, still holding a freshly picked strawberry in her hand.

Shimada Sho pointed his phone at her and pressed the shutter.

"Click".

Tenkai Chizuru was stunned.

She looked down at the strawberries she was holding, and her face turned bright red.

"Sir, what are you doing?!" she exclaimed anxiously, reaching out to snatch the camera. "I must look terrible like this, delete it quickly!"

"It's not ugly." Shimada Sho held his phone up high so she couldn't reach it.

"It's ugly! I didn't even get my facial expression right!"

"pretty good."

"No, no, let me see."

Tenkai Chizuru stood on tiptoe to reach the phone, almost pressing her entire body against Shimada Sho.

The cuffs of her knitted cardigan slipped down, revealing a section of her fair wrist, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach the camera.

Helpless, she turned her gaze to the small bag slung at her waist.

He seemed somewhat hesitant.

But in just a moment, the hesitation vanished.

Then she quickly reached into her bag, pulled something out, and pointed it at Shimada Sho.

"Sir, please look at me."

Chapter 124 So that's what you wanted to do?

Upon hearing Chizuru Amami's voice, Shimada Sho instinctively looked over.

His gaze fell directly on the phone screen she was holding up.

There was nothing on it except a constantly rotating spiral pattern, with black and white lines that contracted inwards in circles.

He tried to look away, but his eyes seemed to be glued to something, completely unable to move.

The dynamic spiral changes, one circle, two circles, three circles.

My consciousness began to blur, and the surrounding sounds gradually faded away.

Suddenly, everything became blurry...

……

"Shop assistant?"

Tenkai Chizuru looked uncertainly at Shimada Sho, who had a blank expression.

"Can you hear me?" she tried to ask.

Shimada Sho replied in a flat and mechanical tone, "I can hear you."

Tenkai Chizuru's eyes lit up immediately.

She circled around Shimada Sho, looking him up and down.

After confirming that he had truly entered a hypnotic state, an excited blush appeared on his face.

It worked! The hypnosis phone the system gave me really works!

The thought of the shop assistant completely losing his self-awareness and being manipulated by her like a puppet made her heart beat faster.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

This is a rare opportunity; it can only be used three times in total, so we can't waste it.

"Sir," she whispered, leaning closer, "could you please delete the photos you just took?"

She came here today with the intention of hypnotizing the shop assistant.

For this reason, I brought a hypnosis phone.

But since no opportunity has been found, we can only wait.

I want to try it again after he relaxes.

But she had just been photographed in an unflattering way, so in a moment of panic, she had no choice but to use it regardless of anything else.

The results were surprisingly good.

Since it's useful, let's get him to delete the photos first.

It must be very ugly.

"No."

To her surprise, the shop assistant, who was under hypnosis, refused her.

Tenkai Chizuru didn't understand. "Why?"

"Because this photo is needed to issue the mission." Shimada Sho stared blankly ahead, answering in a flat, emotionless voice.

Tenkai Chizuru was even more confused, "A mission? What mission?"

"Bond Quest".

"Huh?" Tenkai Chizuru was taken aback.

Why does this word sound so familiar?

Among the comics I've been binge-reading lately, there seems to be a series that...

She shook her head violently, trying to shake off the jumbled images in her mind.

No, no, that's definitely not what the shop assistant meant.

"Um..." she asked cautiously, "what kind of mission is it?"

"do not know."

"How could I not know?"

"It's not certain yet."

Chizuru Amami tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked, "Then... who should I send the mission to?"

"you."

"What kind of mission do I have?"

silence.

Sho Shimada did not answer the question.

After a few seconds, Tenkai Chizuru realized that she might have asked the wrong question, so she quickly changed her approach.

"So... what will happen if I finish?"

"There is a reward."

award……

A blush crept onto Tenkai Chizuru's cheeks as she thought of something.

Isn't this just like a scene from a comic book?

After being treated that way by the shop assistant a while ago, she couldn't help but secretly go and find some comics.

There's a book called "Mission in Progress" where the male protagonist uses a mysterious app to take pictures of girls. The app then automatically generates various embarrassing tasks for the girls to complete, and the so-called reward is actually...

Tenkai Chizuru's face flushed bright red instantly.

So, does the shop assistant want to play this kind of game?

You can post tasks just by taking a photo... those kinds of tasks...

"Um... clerk." Chizuru Amami's voice trembled slightly, her hands behind her back, her toes unconsciously drawing circles on the ground. "The quests you mentioned, are any kind of quests acceptable?"

"It should be possible," Shimada Sho replied mechanically.

Upon hearing this answer, Tenkai Chizuru's breathing gradually became rapid.

She bit her lip, trying to suppress her pounding heart, and leaned close to Shimada Sho's ear, her voice barely a whisper: "Um... sir, could you give me a task? You know, the kind that... orders me to do certain things..."

Shimada Sho remained expressionless: "Please describe the details."

Chizuru Amami felt like her face was about to burn through.

She took a deep breath, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in Shimada Sho's ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear...

……

Shimada Sho felt himself momentarily dazed.

Originally, the quantity of goods was recorded behind the cashier.

But then, for some unknown reason, he suddenly stood up.

And then...

He couldn't recall any of the images at all.

Really puzzled, Shimada Sho looked down at Amami Chizuru beside him.

I want to ask her what she was doing just now.

Upon closer inspection, the idol was sitting on a bench, burying his face between his legs like an ostrich.

From Shimada Sho's perspective, you can see that her ears are so red they look like they're burning.

"What's wrong with you?" Shimada Sho asked, finding her behavior strange.

"N-nothing!" Chizuru Amami shuddered as if she'd been electrocuted, her voice muffled as it came from between her legs, "It's just... a little hot."

Shimada Sho glanced at the convenience store's air conditioner; it was 22 degrees Celsius.

He then looked at the not-so-thick knitted cardigan that Tenkai Chizuru was wearing.

Would you like some water?

"want……"

Shimada Sho took a bottle of mineral water from the shelf and handed it to her.

When Chizuru Amami took it, her fingers touched his, and she immediately withdrew them guiltily.

She unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted her head back, and took a big gulp, only to choke and cough uncontrollably.

Seeing her flustered state, Shimada Sho gave up on asking her more questions.

The little idol is great in every way, except that he's timid and gets shy too easily.

The only time I dared to reveal my XP was because I had this fake system.

If it weren't for me, she probably would have been suppressing her feelings for the rest of her life.

Shimada Sho was idly thinking when he suddenly noticed that the Polaroid camera in his hand was moving.
