Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

You seem to be spacing out the whole day.

"……No."

“Yes.” Her tone was very certain. “Mr. Thug has been thinking about other things since just now.”

Shimada Sho opened his mouth, wanting to deny it, but swallowed the words back.

She's right.

He was indeed distracted the whole time.

Because of a guilty conscience.

"I'm sorry," Shimada Sho apologized for the third time, "I'm not feeling well today."

Is it because of me?

"No."

"That's good."

There was a moment of silence.

"Mr. Thug".

Again.

"what happened?"

Do you really come every day?

Shimada Sho took a deep breath and answered in the most serious tone, "Really, every day, on time, I never forget."

"it is good."

This time, Yukine Kamishiro's voice carried a clear hint of happiness.

Like spring water surging beneath the ice, it finally broke through the last thin layer of ice and flowed out joyfully.

Although it was only a little bit, Shimada Sho could hear it.

The change in mood made Shimada Shoya feel a long-lost sense of ease.

At least she didn't feel disappointed because of her concealment.

That's good.

Just as I was about to say something, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open.

A young girl in a suit appeared at the door.

She has delicate features, a calm demeanor, and a subtle air of heroism in her eyes.

Kiryu Kazuyo.

The young lady's personal bodyguard.

Kiryu Ichiyo was visibly taken aback when he saw "Kamishiro Yukine" sitting in the classroom.

Then she walked quickly over, stopped three steps away, and bowed respectfully.

"Miss, Madam has finished her talks with you and sent me to invite you over."

His tone was humble and his posture submissive, a stark contrast to his behavior at Owada Financial Center that day.

Looking at her meek and submissive demeanor, Shimada Sho felt a subtle feeling welling up inside him.

So he didn't move, and said calmly, "Ms. Kiryu."

"exist."

"Is this how you act as a bodyguard?"

Kiryu Ichiyo raised her head, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

"They didn't even knock, they just barged in."

Shimada Sho looked at her coldly with the same amber eyes as Kamishiro Yukine, "What if I'm changing clothes, or talking to someone important?"

"I'm very sorry." Kiryu Ichiyo immediately lowered his head. "It was my oversight."

An apology does not change the fact that you barged in.

Kiryu Ichiyo's body visibly stiffened.

"Go out and come back in," Shimada Sho said coldly.

"……Yes."

Kiryu Ichiyo straightened up, turned around, and walked out of the classroom.

"Dong dong dong."

After a rhythmic, gentle knock, the door was opened.

He approached and bowed, reporting: "Young Miss..."

"You're late," Shimada Sho interrupted her abruptly.

"I'm so sorry, Miss." Her head drooped. "Madam just finished with me, and I immediately..."

"The first time?" Shimada Sho interrupted her, his tone laced with sarcasm. "I've been down from the rooftop for almost twenty minutes now, and you, as my bodyguard, are only finding me now? Is this your professionalism?"

Kiryu Ichiyo's face turned slightly pale.

“It was my fault, young lady.” Her voice remained respectful, but Shimada Sho could detect the tension hidden within it. “Please punish me.”

The classroom was silent for a few seconds.

Shimada Sho just stared at her, neither speaking nor moving.

Kiryu Ichiyo remained motionless, bowing slightly.

That day at Owada Financial Center, this woman was so arrogant and haughty.

Taking advantage of their status, they recklessly killed without any scruples.

After being countered, he immediately ordered his henchmen to draw their guns.

They treated him like a quail from beginning to end.

What now?

I felt like a quail, shrinking my neck and not daring to breathe.

That's the difference in status.

Shimada Sho was somewhat moved.

"Mr. Thug".

The voice of Yukine Kamishiro echoed in her mind, tinged with a hint of doubt, "Don't you like Kiryu-san?"

Shimada Sho casually replied, "She's alright, I just think she's quite interesting."

"interesting?"

"Yeah, he's really amazing, but he's as docile as a cat in front of you."

"She's a bodyguard, that's to be expected."

"I know."

Shimada Sho withdrew his gaze and stopped making things difficult for Kiryu Ichiyo.

He was just acting on a whim and didn't intend to take his anger out on the young lady.

There's no point in using public office to settle personal scores.

And ultimately, he trespassed on someone else's territory that day, so he has no one to blame but himself for getting beaten up.

"Let's go."

He stood up and walked past Kiryu Ichiyo.

"Yes, Miss." Kiryu Ichiyo quickly followed, always keeping a half-step behind.

As he walked out of the classroom, Shimada Sho turned back for one last look at the seat by the window.

The young lady will also be starting school next week.

They will also have their own seat in the classroom.

They breathe the same air, take the same classes, and may even bump into each other unexpectedly somewhere on campus.

Beyond that, he will continue to log into her body as "Mr. Thug".

This feeling of virtuality and reality intertwining... is wonderful.

Chapter 127 The Little Idol's "Mission"

After escorting the young lady back to the outside of the conference room, Shimada Sho glanced at the time.

There are only a few seconds left before I can log in.

He took the initiative to say goodbye to the young lady.

Before leaving, the young lady asked me again whether it would really be online tomorrow.

Only after Shimada Sho gave his affirmative assurance did the young lady finally allow him to log off, completely satisfied.

……

As consciousness returned, a panel appeared before Shimada Sho's eyes.

Aside from the chance to win prizes, there are no other substantial rewards.

However, the progress has increased by 4 points, which means it has finally broken through the 60% mark.

As long as you log in every day, reaching 100% completion is just a matter of time.

After closing the panel, Shimada Sho opened his eyes.

The first thing you see is the familiar wooden ceiling.

The pre-set hosting behavior was to continue working as usual and go home after get off work.

His body has now returned to normal.

He was lying on the bed in his rented room.

After stretching his stiff neck from lying down, Shimada Sho recalled the login process in his mind.

Judging from the fact that Yukine Kamishiro arrived at the school early to familiarize herself with the environment, there was no doubt that she would transfer to Dongli High School.

She will be in his life starting this week.

Although the young lady doesn't know him in real life, if they get to know each other in the future...

Shimada Sho shook his head, trying to shake off these random thoughts.

Forget it, we'll deal with whatever comes our way.

Anyway, she couldn't be sure that Mr. Thug was Shimada Sho.

As long as you are careful and don't give yourself away, you'll be fine.

Thinking to himself, Shimada Sho picked up his phone from the side.

I want to check the time; if it's late, I'll just go to sleep.
