Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Shimada Sho suddenly opened his eyes.

Incomplete?

He has already received the photos, so why isn't it finished yet?

Does he need to respond for it to count?

But if he responds, won't Chizuru Amami become even more perverted?

Shimada Sho gripped his phone tightly, his brows furrowed.

In yesterday's situation, if the task wasn't completed, the idol would fall back into that uncomfortable state.

She would continue to suffer if she didn't complete the task.

"Oh shit."

Shimada Sho cursed under his breath and made his decision.

Log in and take a look.

But we'll have to wait a bit.

If she's doing *that* kind of thing, and he logs on and sees something he shouldn't, that would be really awkward.

Shimada Sho waited for five minutes, then waited for another five minutes.

I figured it was about time before I opened the system panel.

[Do you want to log in as the character "Tenkai Chizuru"?]

"Yes."

[Do you want to enable "Smart Managed" mode?]

"no."

The moment consciousness faded, the familiar feeling of weightlessness washed over me.

When he opened his eyes again, Shimada Sho found himself sitting in a soft chair.

The surroundings were dimly lit, and the air was filled with the aroma of popcorn.

Ahead was a huge screen, displaying the end credits of a movie.

It's a movie theater.

Chizuru Amami was wearing a plain white T-shirt and jeans, her hair was casually tied in a low ponytail, and she wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

He looked as plain as an ordinary high school student.

If it weren't for the overwhelming weight on his chest, Shimada Sho would have thought he had logged into the wrong number.

"System Master?"

The voice of Tenkai Chizuru echoed in my mind, her tone light and cheerful, revealing nothing unusual.

"Are you at the movie theater?" Shimada Sho asked instinctively.

"Yeah! I'm off today, and Mom said she wanted to make it up to me by taking me to the movies." Her voice was a little excited. "It's a romance movie, so boring, I almost fell asleep."

Shimada Sho: "..."

So all those photos, audio recordings, and breathing sounds were filmed in a movie theater?

She sat in the audience, probably with her mother next to her, and then casually sent him those kinds of photos and voice messages.

"System? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"……fine."

Shimada Sho leaned back in his chair, his feelings extremely complicated.

So she wasn't actually in that state just now, she was just teasing him?

No, it's not a joke.

She deliberately breathed out for him to hear.

I just want him to be as compliant as he was yesterday...

Shimada Sho was at a loss for words.

This girl's every word and action is completely beyond his expectations.

I used to be too afraid to speak loudly to him.

Now you dare to deceive him like this through a phone.

They'll probably be even bolder next.

The key point is that he cannot expose it yet.

Because his current identity is the System Master, not the Shop Assistant.

From Tenkai Chizuru's perspective, the shop assistant was unaware of these things.

After thinking for a moment, Shimada Sho could only ask with concern in the system's tone, "You looked so miserable yesterday, are you back to normal today?"

"Yes, I feel better than ever before!" Tenkai Chizuru's voice sounded excited.

Shimada Sho asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Because I need to go see the shop assistant in a little while!" she continued.

Shimada Sho sensed something was off about what he was saying.

Is she a little... excited right now?

Chapter 164 is finished, the life of a little idol!

Shimada Sho could hear the unusual quality in Amami Chizuru's voice.

But I don't understand her current specific situation.

Why do you want to go see that shop assistant?

He decided to ask her opinion first.

Chizuru Amami quickly responded, "Because I want to see the shop assistant."

Her tone was matter-of-fact, with a hint of coquetry.

"Didn't your mother bring you out specifically?" Shimada Sho asked, mimicking the system's indifferent tone. "It's a rare opportunity to be alone, don't you want to spend more time with her?"

"Her..." Tenkai Chizuru's voice became nonchalant, "Let her go shopping if she wants to, it's not like I have to accompany her."

"Isn't she your mother?"

"Yes, but..." she paused, her voice becoming muffled, "...how can I compare to the shop assistant?"

Hearing her response, Shimada Sho frowned deeply.

How could someone say such a thing?

Isn't she the one who's most reluctant to leave her mother?

"Besides, Mom just wants to make it up to me." Tianhai Chizuru continued to explain, saying indifferently, "She doesn't really want to be with me. She just thinks that giving me money and buying me some things in a fake way can make up for what happened before, but I don't need those things at all."

Shimada Sho remained silent.

He still remembered how happy Chizuru Amami was when Ms. Aota came over that day after logging in.

He was afraid that he might say something that would anger his mother.

Even though there had been unpleasant experiences before, all I wanted was to return to my mother's side.

Shimada Sho also felt that she was trapped by family ties and beyond help.

As it turned out, only a short time had passed before she became a sober person.

Is this normal?

"Mom is no match for Mr. Shop Assistant. All I want to do now is be with him."

"..."

This is no longer being sober.

She's completely changed.

This is definitely not the Tenkai Chizuru he knows.

Her dependence on and affection for her mother are now completely overshadowed by something else.

It was like a thin layer of ice covering the surface of a lake. The water at the bottom of the lake was still there, but because of the presence of that layer of ice, she couldn't feel it at all.

It's obvious that this layer of ice is for the Bond quest.

When Chizuru Amami talks about the shop assistant, her tone becomes incredibly excited.

That excitement wasn't feigned; it emanated from her very core, as if something was driving her, making her think about that goal nonstop.

When it comes to his mother, not only are his words unpleasant, but his tone is also full of indifference and impatience.

This is not like her at all.

"Chizuru," Shimada Sho asked with concern, "Have you noticed that you've been acting a little strange lately?"

"Something's wrong?" Tenkai Chizuru paused for a moment. "No, I feel great, better than ever before."

“You wouldn’t have spoken to Ms. Aota like that before.”

"Tch, I was just giving her face. That old woman dares to stop me from seeing the shop assistant!"

"..."

Shimada Sho took a deep breath.

Understood.

Dog Cao's bond quest is still in progress.

Moreover, the force is stronger than before.

It didn't directly control Chizuru Amami's body, but rather subtly changed her thoughts.

This includes feelings, including the priority she places on the shop assistant in her heart.

The bond quest made her focus all her attention on the shop assistant.

My mother's company, my career pursuits, and my personal growth—none of these matter anymore.

Only one thing matters—

I saw him.

This situation was completely beyond Shimada Sho's expectations.

He thought that Tenkai Chizuru was getting bolder and bolder, and that posting those photos was the limit.

It now appears that this is just the beginning.

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll completely break down.

We need to find a way to correct this!

Shimada Sho made up his mind.

"This system needs maintenance," he said decisively.

"Huh? So fast?" Tenkai Chizuru's tone instantly turned disappointed. "Stay a little longer, System Master, I haven't finished talking to you yet."

"Next time."

"Well... System, do you have any gadgets even more powerful than the hypnosis phone? I'm willing to pay any price. I'd like to ask the shop assistant..."

Shimada Sho ignored her and logged out on his own.

"This system is going offline."

"System Master—"

[Log out of the character "Tenkai Chizuru"?]

"Yes."

As consciousness faded, Tenkai Chizuru's voice was cut off at the last second.
