Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

With a series of clicks, a photograph was pushed out from above.

Upon seeing this, Shimada Sho remembered what he had just been doing.

He extracted the Bond Camera to take a picture of Chizuru Amami and test the effect, right?

I just took a picture, and now it's been automatically developed.

When I picked up the photo, I saw a girl who had just picked out strawberries.

He seemed genuinely happy and wanted to hand it to me.

As he was looking at it, a notification popped up that only he could see:

[The Bond Camera has been used]

[Target: Tenkai Chizuru]

[Bond Quest Has Been Generated]

Please deliver the photo to the target. The task details will be displayed after the target receives the photo.

Shimada Sho looked at the line of notification and his brows twitched slightly.

Should I give her the photos?

He thought for a moment, then reached out and handed over the photo. "Here you go."

"What?" Tenkai Chizuru subconsciously looked up.

The moment she saw the photo, she revealed a shy expression.

Her face turned bright red all the way down to her neck.

"Are you alright?" Shimada Sho asked, puzzled by her appearance.

Tenkai Chizuru hurriedly shook her head, "N-nothing."

As he spoke, he reached out and took the photo.

A new notification popped up in front of Shimada Sho:

[Bond Quest Activated]

[Task details: ???]

[Task Reward: ???]

[Note: This task is pre-set by the player and the target character. The content will be displayed after the task is completed. The player does not need to intervene and can simply wait.]

Shimada Sho stared at the line "Preset by the player and the target character" for a long time.

What do you mean?

Aren't bond quests automatically generated by the system?

When did it become a pre-set expectation by both oneself and the target character?

He turned to look at Tenkai Chizuru, who was still blushing and stealing glances at him, and felt that something was not quite right.

Did you just do something?

"N-No!" Chizuru Amami jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "I didn't do anything! Really!"

Shimada Sho squinted at her.

Feeling guilty under his gaze, Chizuru lowered her head and pretended to adjust her skirt.

“…Never mind.” Shimada Sho looked away.

Anyway, the system said that players don't need to intervene, so let's just wait.

He was also quite curious about what kind of mission this thing had.

What kind of reward will be given upon completion?

After taking the photos, Shimada Sho's main goal for the day was accomplished.

Next, he threw himself back into his work.

Tenkai Chizuru also stayed for a while.

I helped organize the shelves and wiped down the checkout counter. When there was really nothing else to do, I reluctantly picked up my bag.

"Sir, I'll head back now."

"Um... wait a minute." Shimada Sho called out to her.

As she reached the door, Tenkai Chizuru's shoulders trembled slightly. "Is...is there anything else?"

"It's nothing, I was just curious why you didn't ask today."

"What do you want to ask?"

Shimada Shoichi smiled, "Of course I'll ask if I can come tomorrow."

Before each of her previous departures, Chizuru Amami would ask him if he could come back the next day.

It seems like I want to come here every day.

Surprisingly, he didn't ask today, which made Shimada Sho feel a little uneasy.

"I...tomorrow..."

"Fine, you can go now." Seeing her hesitant look, Shimada Sho didn't bother to listen anymore.

Tenkai Chizuru nodded and obediently left.

She pushed open the door, the wind chimes jingling, took two steps and then turned back to wave at Shimada Sho.

As Shimada Sho watched her figure disappear around the street corner, he felt that her demeanor seemed somewhat familiar.

It's as if I've unknowingly taken on the burden of debt.

But what pressure does she have?

Shimada Sho pondered, but still couldn't figure it out, so he finally gave up on thinking about it altogether.

He glanced at the time; it was almost nine o'clock.

There's still one hour left before I get off work.

However, at this time, there are very few customers left.

Without needing to worry too much, he simply opened the system panel.

【Kamidai Yukiyin】

[Development Progress: 58%]

[Connection Cooling Down: Reset (Connectable)]

【Tenkai Chizuru】

[Development Progress: 48%]

[Connection Cooling Down: Reset (Connectable)]

They hadn't logged in for two consecutive days, and their cooldown period had long since ended.

"Since there's smart management available anyway, why don't we take this time to go see the young lady?"

To himself, Shimada Sho initiated the connection.

[Should we add the character "Kamishiro Yukine"?]

"Yes."

[Do you want to enable the "Smart Hosting Mode" for the main game?]

"Yes."

Consciousness faded, and a brief darkness enveloped my vision.

Chapter 125 Names and Code Names

The moment Shimada Sho opened his eyes, a strong gust of wind carrying a chill rushed towards him.

As far as the eye could see, there was a gray, hazy sky.

He instinctively looked down, and his heart skipped a beat.

This is not indoors, but on the rooftop terrace.

The concrete ground beneath your feet seems safe, but just half a step further and you're in an empty abyss.

The guardrail only reaches thigh level, offering no protection whatsoever.

Looking down, the flower beds and walkways appeared as patches of color in the night.

Shimada Sho's heart clenched suddenly.

"Yukine?!"

He almost instinctively took a step back, away from the low railing.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, he heard the ethereal and calm voice of Yukine Kamishiro in his mind.

"Mr. Thug".

"What are you doing?!" Shimada Sho's voice rose involuntarily. "Standing in a place like this, are you out of your mind?"

"The scenery here is beautiful." Yukine Kamishiro's tone was completely calm, as if she was unaware of the danger she was in.

Shimada Sho stood still speechlessly, though still shaken, he had at least calmed down.

When he first opened his eyes, he thought the young lady was going to commit suicide, and he was quite shocked.

In hindsight, he was overthinking things.

Although the young lady has a peculiar way of thinking, she's not so desperate as to be suicidal.

He walked back to the railing, this time much more carefully, not stepping on it, but simply using his hands to support himself on the railing and looking out.

The view is indeed excellent.

Tokyo's neon lights gleam under the night sky.

The Tokyo Tower in the distance looks like a thin needle stuck on the horizon.

A breeze blows by, carrying the cool scent of early summer.

"It looks good, though." Shimada Sho looked away, his tone becoming more serious. "But don't stand so far out in the future. What if you fall?"

"Will not."

"Why not? A strong gust of wind could come, or you could slip and fall..."

"Is Mr. Thug worried about me?"

Shimada Sho's words were cut off.

The voice in his mind remained calm, but he inexplicably detected a hint of...pleasure within that calmness?

"I just don't want my account to be gone," Shimada Sho stubbornly insisted.

"Oh."

Yukine Kamishiro responded and didn't ask any further questions.

But Shimada Sho always felt that there was something hidden in that "oh".

After a moment of silence, the young lady spoke again, her voice softer than before.

“Actually, even if I stand far away when Mr. Thug isn’t around, I’m not necessarily safe.”

Shimada Sho's brow furrowed. "What do you mean?"

"The literal meaning," Yukine Kamishiro replied calmly. "The Kamishiro family has many enemies, and those who have their eyes on me will never give up just because I don't do anything dangerous."

Don't you have bodyguards with you?

“There are places bodyguards can’t see.” She paused. “Besides, bodyguards can’t crawl inside my body.”

Shimada Sho remained silent.

He understood the young lady's implication.
