Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

It only took one noon.

"A heartless girl." Shimada Sho muttered the word to himself, turned over, and became even more agitated.

Ultimately, the problem lies with that lousy hosting service.

Even though the plan was to only talk about homework, I ended up getting hugged and rubbed against by Yuki Ayase.

If that incident hadn't happened, the young lady wouldn't have witnessed him and Yuki Ayase embracing each other.

Although the root cause of her disappointment in herself was the discovery that he was not Mr. Thug.

But the scene of him being hugged by Yuki Ayase undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

With that in mind, Shimada Sho simply brought up the hosting interface.

He clearly remembered setting detailed behavioral instructions for the smart assistant before logging in.

I chatted with my classmates first, then went to the activity room to talk to Yuki Ayase about the exchange competition.

Maintain normal social distancing during the process.

The result was that he sat on the sofa like a piece of wood, letting the woman hug and rub against him without even a symbolic resistance.

Can this even be called smart hosting?

Shimada Sho leaned back on the headboard, clicked into the skill details page of [Smart Hosting], and flipped to the "Hosting Memory Archive" section at the bottom.

Find today's save file and click "Memory Receive".

[Loading managed memories... Loading complete, replay beginning in first-person perspective.]

Shimada Sho closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the depths of his memories.

[Auto-play mode activated. Player's preset command detected: Communicate with classmates, exhibit normal behavior, go to the club activity room, discuss the exchange competition with Ayase Yuki, and maintain social distancing. Command priority: High.]

The system's sound analysis was quite detailed.

Then he stood up from his seat.

First, she naturally greeted Hoshino Yuuki, and then went to borrow a notebook from Haruko.

Finally, he walked out of the classroom with a few boys.

Everything was going according to his pre-set script, and there seemed to be no problem.

[Environmental scan: Target person "Yuki Ayase" detected in the event room.]

[Based on preset instructions, we are about to interact with it, and the "target behavior pattern database" will be loaded in advance...]

[Loading complete, target analysis... This target has shown signs of intimacy beyond a normal classmate relationship in three of the past five interactions. According to social norms, caution should be exercised, and a safe distance of 80 centimeters should be maintained.]

As we entered the event building, the hosting system began analyzing data again.

Looking at the analysis results, Shimada Sho felt they were fairly reliable.

An 80-centimeter safe distance may not seem far, but it's certainly better than being held in someone's arms.

The problem is, if we're supposed to maintain a safe distance, how did it end up like that?

Shimada Sho calmed down and decided not to miss any details, to find out the problem thoroughly.

After he went upstairs, he stopped at the door of the activity room and raised his hand to knock.

"Please come in," came Yuki Ayase's voice from inside.

Pushing open the door, I saw Yuki Ayase sitting on the sofa in the activity room, flipping through a small notebook in her hand.

Upon seeing Shimada Sho enter, she naturally closed the notebook and placed it back behind her desk.

[Target's current behavior pattern detected: calm, normal, matches the "daily pattern" in the preset database, temporarily safe.]

"Sho-kun." Ayase Yuki put it down and walked back to the sofa with a smile.

The system began its simulation again:

[The target's behavior is normal, taking into account the player's preset conditions... The player's primary goal is to exhibit reasonable behavioral patterns and maintain a sense of realism. Based on this premise, reasonable actions should be taken to conceal any signs of being auto-attacked...]

The system analysis revealed a whole host of words, which Shimada Sho watched quietly.

He glanced around, then his gaze finally settled on the coffee table.

[A suitable item has been detected. You may use this item to perform appropriate activities...]

The system continuously analyzed and deduced, eventually controlling the body to move towards the sofa area.

Shimada Sho looked in that direction and saw two cups of tea on the coffee table, both still steaming.

It must have been Yuki Ayase who poured it for him beforehand.

The system performed quite well in this aspect.

After walking to the opposite side of Ayase Yuki, he naturally turned around and sat down, reaching for the tea in front of him.

But at this moment, Yuki Ayase's expression changed.

"Xiang Jun!"

She called out softly in a hurry, then reached out and grabbed his arm, taking the cup of tea from his hand.

"I've already drunk this one," she explained with a smile, then pushed the glass in front of her towards her. "Drink this one."

Shimada Sho had a gut feeling that something was wrong.

He always sits in the same spot the system assigns, so why is Ayase Yuki pouring tea across from him?

And wasn't that where she was sitting?

[Environmental scan update: The target's current behavior falls within the scope of "normal social interaction." The safe distance is maintained at 100 centimeters. Based on preset instructions, the target will respond according to the "normal social interaction" mode...]

The system's ideas are clearly different from Shimada Sho's.

After a seemingly logical analysis, he accepted the tea offered by Yuki Ayase.

"Why aren't you drinking tea, Sho-kun?" Ayase Yuki tilted her head. "I specially asked someone to bring this back from Kyoto. I usually don't even drink it myself."

Shimada Sho looked down at the steaming cup of tea in front of him.

The tea soup is emerald green and clear, with a layer of fine foam floating on top, and it has a faint fragrance.

He picked it up and took a sip; it did taste quite good.

[The tea was found to be at the right temperature, with no unusual additives, and traces of consumption were detected... It poses no health risk. To maintain a natural social atmosphere, this should not be revealed.]

[An evaluation should be made after drinking the tea...]

Shimada Sho: "..."

Is this how you call yourself intelligent?

They could detect traces of drinking, yet they still calmly let me drink it.

You're really something.

He finally understood how superficial this so-called intelligence really was.

It only operates based on preset conditions.

Yuki Ayase watched him finish his tea, and a small smile curved her lips.

Seeing this, Shimada Sho felt like cursing.

This woman is really...

He poured two glasses, but specifically chose the one she had drunk from for himself.

"Sho-kun, Kobayashi from the karate club came to see me again today. He said he insisted on having a match with you, which we made at the subway station last time. But don't worry, I've already turned him down for you."

The target is engaging in normal communication; according to the pre-set procedure, a response should be given…

"Thank you." He nodded in thanks.

Looking at it, Shimada Sho felt that the childcare service was indeed not as dull as before.

But he still couldn't understand how it ended up like that.

So they continued.

For the next ten minutes, everything was perfectly normal.

Yuki Ayase asked him a few questions about the study group and they chatted for a bit about next week's course schedule.

His body responded in every way, behaving exactly like a normal high school student.

Ayase Yuki, aside from occasionally glancing at her phone to check the time, maintained a polite distance, sitting across from him at the coffee table without moving closer.

Even Shimada Sho was starting to have doubts.

Is this woman really just trying to discuss the exchange competition with him?

There was absolutely no unusual behavior.

Apart from the fact that every time she glanced at her phone and then at him, as if confirming something, and then looked away with satisfaction, nothing else really happened.

The hosting operation proceeded smoothly, with all preset commands executing within normal limits. The interactive objectives are expected to be achieved successfully.

Not only Shimada Sho thought so, but even the system shared the same view.

The target checked their phone five times in a row, possibly waiting for a text message or notification. This behavior is unrelated to the current interactive topic "Discussion Competition" and does not constitute a threat; therefore, no intervention will be taken at this time.

The memory continued, and after about eleven or twelve minutes, the screen of the phone on the coffee table flickered.

Yuki Ayase picked it up and glanced at it. When she put it down, the look in her eyes as she looked at Sho Shimada suddenly changed.

The polite response was gone, replaced by an eager excitement in their eyes.

She stood up, walked around the coffee table, and sat down next to Shimada Sho.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between them went from a meter to less than a palm's width, and Shimada Sho could smell the familiar fragrance emanating from her.

"Sho-kun." Ayase Yuki turned her head to look at him and asked lazily, "Do you know what day of the week it is today?"

“Thursday,” his body answered as usual.

Shimada Sho's veins throbbed as he watched.

We're so close, why don't you react at all!

[Target's current behavior pattern detected: "Breaking safe distance" mode triggers alert, command conflict: Preset command requires maintaining normal social distance, but the target has already broken the social distance.]

[Strategy changed, target behavioral intent analyzed... Analysis in progress...]

Shimada Sho: ...

Finished!

Chapter 143 She found a loophole again.

"So Xiangjun knew it was Thursday."

Regardless of his reaction, Ayase Yuki moved even closer in the blink of an eye.

She gently put her arm around Shimada Sho's shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Sho-kun, do you remember what happened last Friday?"

The hot air hit his ears, and Shimada Sho knew he was in trouble.

Even worse, while Ayase Yuki was talking, one of her hands had already wandered to his back.

At the same time, her other hand landed on his chest and gently drew circles.

Shimada Sho felt an itch and instinctively tried to dodge it.

Unfortunately, he could feel everything, but he couldn't change the fact that it had already happened.

Ultimately, they could only place their hopes on a hosting system.

[Analysis complete. Result: The target's behavior may be related to the "promise made last Friday." Last Friday, the player made a promise of "weekend companionship" during a call with the target, a promise that has not yet been fulfilled. The target may be hinting at this.]

This behavior does not constitute crossing the line; it is merely a reasonable act of expressing an expectation.

Reasonable behavior?!

Shimada Sho almost cursed out loud.

Her hand was practically inside her collar, and you're telling me that's considered reasonable behavior?

"Do you still remember what Xiangjun said in the hospital room?"

Ayase Yuki's body had already moved closer, her soft, delicate body pressed tightly against Shimada Sho's chest.
